Chapter 648 - 631 Cold and Indifferent Lu Hongjun
Lu Hongjun lost three games and couldn’t recover from the heart attack. He wasn’t eager to watch the other old men play, so he asked the caretaker to push him to the place where they practice Tai Chi.
After he left, an old man who was at odds with him said, "I heard his daughter opened several companies in Hong Kong, with assets worth over a billion yuan. She’s so wealthy, why not take him to Hong Kong for treatment? The medical skills there are much better than here."
These words weren’t meant to imply the old man thought foreign places outmatch domestic ones, but rather that there’s indeed a significant gap between domestic medical skills and those in Hong Kong and Western developed countries.
A white-bearded old man who was close to Lu Hongjun glanced at him and said with a smile, "What are you trying to say, that his daughter doesn’t care about Old Lu? When Old Lu was unconscious and being rescued, his daughter immediately rushed back from abroad upon receiving the news, and then she found people to resolve the matter. She was too busy to care for him personally, so she hired two caretakers and assigned a bodyguard to watch over him."
The rival snorted, "Letting caretakers take care of him, how can that assure the children."
The white-bearded old man replied with a smile, "Although the daughter can’t stay by his side, during Old Lu’s hospitalization period, nephews, nieces, and grandnephews visited him in turns, bringing chicken soup, pigeon soup, black fish soup, and all sorts of soups continuously. Whatever he wanted to eat, they would buy for him, much better than us."
The rival still wouldn’t concede, saying, "In the future, without a pension, he’ll have to look to his daughter, life won’t be as comfortable as ours."
The white-bearded old man, who had a good relationship with Lu Hongjun, visited him just days ago: "Old Lu doesn’t have a pension, but his daughter has money, so he doesn’t have to worry about the nanny or living expenses, and he even gets five hundred yuan monthly for pocket money. I only get one hundred twenty yuan monthly pension, can’t compare to him."
The rival thought about his own eighty-six yuan monthly pension and fell silent. Even if the daughter doesn’t personally care for him or take him to Hong Kong, the rascal Lu Hongjun still lives more comfortably.
Lu Hongjun followed people to practice Tai Chi, but after three to four minutes, he couldn’t keep up. Sitting under a tree’s shade, watching the others practice, felt pointless, so he asked the caretaker to push him back.
