Old Master Nie was too old to withstand such a shock, and Nie Zhan wanted to keep Nie Manlin's drug addiction a secret, but he couldn't hide it since people weren't returning.
Just as Nie Zhan feared, Old Master Nie fainted when he found out. Fortunately, Nie Zhan had brought a doctor with him just in case, and they were able to save him in time, but he had another stroke. He had already had two strokes before, and this time he was left paralyzed, unable to speak, only able to communicate with his eyes.
As a granddaughter-in-law, Lu Jiaxin also went to the hospital to visit him, but she just showed her face and didn't get involved. With Nie Jingwen and Nie Zhan's grandsons there, it wasn't her place to worry.
That night, Zhang Lalan called Lu Jiaxin, asking if she was at home: "Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you, and it's not convenient to talk about it over the phone."
