Xu Fengzhi’s face completely changed, her tone devoid of kindness. “Shen Qingyue, I am Shen Jun’s niece-in-law! What gives you the right to stop me from seeing him? I am just concerned about his condition. Your actions have deeply disappointed me!”
Shen Qingyue sneered, her face mocking. “When Shen Da poisoned
Grandfather, your uncle was also deeply disappointed. Let me tell you, Xu Fengzhi, I haven’t caught you yet, but I believe it won’t be long before you end up behind bars! You can reunite with your husband.”
Xu Fengzhi’s face turned red with anger. “You heartless wolf! You harmed my husband and now you want to harm me? You have no conscience, you—” Shen Qingyue did not bother to argue further and just walked away.
However, Xu Fengzhi did not let her go, shouting after her retreating figure, “I’ll see how long you can remain arrogant! When I pull you down from your position as Shen family’s Young Miss, you’ll be nothing! A b*stard with no parents…”
Shen Qingyue had long since walked away, paying no attention to Xu Fengzhi’s chaotic shouting. Besides, nothing good could come out of Xu Fengzhi’s mouth anyway.
Xu Fengzhi continued to curse in place for a while. Just as she was about to leave, she was bumped by a cart covered with bedsheets. Fuming, she scolded the cleaner pushing it, “Are you blind? How could you hit someone standing this big here?”
The cleaner, elderly and afraid, kept apologizing without daring to retort.
Xu Fengzhi continued her tirade for a while until more people gathered around. Only then did she stop. It was only in a moment of distraction that she suddenly thought of something. How could she forget? Even if she could not enter Shen Jun’s hospital room, she could get his hair from the changed bedsheets! That old man was of such an age; losing hair was normal, right? As for that wicked woman Shen Qingyue, once she pushed her off the position of the Shen family heir, let’s see how arrogant she could be then! She will be taught a lesson.
Mei Yuxia had her doubts about Tong Jia’s trip out of town. It wasn’t her boasting; Tong Jia was genuinely filial and wouldn’t leave when she needed surgery. “President Shen, there shouldn’t be anything major with Tong Jia, right?”
“No, she just can’t make it here conveniently. This job opportunity is truly rare. She hesitated for a long time, but she succeeded this time. It will enrich her resume, and her future will only get better,” Shen Qingyue reassured.
Mei Yuxia fell silent for a while and said, “Then ask her to come back as soon as possible. I don’t understand her work, but please tell her if she doesn’t come back, I won’t go through with the surgery.”
Mei Yuxia’s tone was resolute, and no amount of persuasion from Shen Qingyue worked. Shen Qingyue suspected Mei Yuxia sensed something, but in the end, she could only relay Mei Yuxia’s words to Tong Jia exactly as they were spoken.
Tong Jia was also anxious but couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t even leave her bed at the moment, only able to focus on recovering quickly so she could return to Mei Yuxia’s side as soon as she could walk again.
In the following days, Shen Qingyue visited the hospital every day to bring breakfast to Chi Ming, making sure it was different every day. However, she was juggling her job during the day, taking care of Chi Ming in the morning, attending to Shen Jun in the evening, and discussing the progress of Shen Da’s case with her lawyer. This lack of sleep was taking a toll on her, and her mental state was visibly deteriorating.
Chi Ming was incredibly observant. Seeing her condition, he suggested, “It’s still early. Why don’t you rest on the companion bed for a while? Your body won’t hold up like this.”
Shen Qingyue shook her head, “No need, I’ll just close my eyes for a moment.” With that, she leaned on the bedside table and closed her eyes, trying to rest for a bit.
However, within seconds, Chi Ming heard the calm and steady breathing beside him. She had fallen asleep. It was evident, she was truly exhausted.
So much had happened recently; Shen Qingyue was working tirelessly every day, wishing she could clone herself.
Setting the porridge down, Chi Ming turned his head, his gaze carefully studying her face. He rarely observed her from such a close distance; he was afraid of becoming too familiar, afraid she would be repulsed. He had always been cautious about everything concerning her, terrified of making a wrong move. He stared at her for a long time, unable to resist reaching out and gently running his fingers through her long hair. “Since you’re this tired, why can’t you rely on me a little? You still have me…”
Just then, a dark and sharp voice echoed from the doorway, interrupting the sweet moment, “Looks like I came at the wrong time, disturbing your sweetness.”
Zhang Jianci, about to chase away Qin Zhen when he was wheeled in, had no idea this guy would barge in, taking the opportunity to start gossiping..
