“Xinran, hurry to the hospital, Uncle Xia has just been taken into the emergency room!” Jerry's anxious voice came through the phone as Xinran answered.
“How could this happen? Isn’t Dad’s condition stable? I... I’ll be there right away…”
With trembling hands, Xinran closed her phone and looked at Mu Shaosi. She opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words; the next moment, a tear fell…
“Let’s go to the hospital!” Mu Shaosi reached out and held Xinran’s hand, providing her warmth, and leaned forward to instruct the driver.
Xinran lowered her eyelashes, not pulling away from Mu Shaosi’s hand. She had thought that tonight she would have an endless argument with him, but unexpected events interrupted what was about to happen and nearly knocked her out.
She had naively believed that her father was fine, that his condition was stable, but it turned out that was not the case; she simply hadn’t cared enough about him!
“Your father will be fine; don’t worry too much!” Mu Shaosi wrapped his arm around Xinran’s shoulders, feeling her tremble slightly. He frowned, wishing she could cry loudly, although he knew pity was not suitable for a woman like Summer.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital. Xinran didn’t pay attention to Mu Shaosi behind her and quickly ran into the inpatient building, heading towards her father’s ward. A group of people lingered at the door—those two troublesome sisters, an auntie, along with Jerry and Wujie.
“Jerry, how is my dad?” Xinran asked softly, her heart racing. She was so afraid of hearing news she didn’t want to hear.
“Don’t worry; Uncle has already stabilized. The doctor gave him an injection; we’ll have to wait a while before we can see him.” Jerry gently patted Xinran’s shoulder as a form of comfort. Then he raised his eyes and saw a figure at the end of the hallway—a man who exuded a kingly demeanor. Even those who had only seen him once found it hard to forget him, so Jerry certainly remembered him.
Although he had never interacted with this man, he always had a feeling that Xinran’s relationship with him was complicated. Perhaps this was the man who had once made Xinran cry uncontrollably!
"You are the most filial to Dad, aren't you? Why are you the last one to arrive when Dad is in trouble?" Xia Wenjing twisted her body, which she thought was graceful, and said these unpleasant words while glaring at Xinran. She hated her because she had taken Shaokai's attention away from her. Originally, she could have sought Shaokai's change of heart, but ever since that encounter with Summer at the hospital, she had no chance to see Shaokai again.
"If it weren't for you, Uncle wouldn't have fallen ill!" Wujie frowned and replied. She really couldn't stand how this woman treated Sister Xinran. She had come with Jerry to visit Uncle Xia, and since they couldn't reach Sister Xinran, they thought they might run into her at the hospital. They didn't expect to indirectly witness such a drama.
"Wujie, what do you mean by that?" Xinran's gaze instantly turned cold; she seemed to sense something in Wujie's words.
"Sister Xinran, just now Jerry and I heard them pressuring Uncle Xia to declare bankruptcy. That way, they could get some money before the company collapses and wouldn't end up with nothing. It was because of their aggressive behavior that Uncle fell ill and needed emergency treatment!" Wujie walked over to Xinran's side, her eyes directed at the three members of the Xia family with disdain.
"Jerry, you heard that too, right?" Xinran looked at Jerry and asked.
"Yes, it's true as Wujie said."
"So, are you three even human? In your eyes, is money more important than Dad's life? The one lying inside is your husband, your father. Oh, why do I even need to say this? You are worse than beasts; how can you understand what family means?" Xinran's tone was icy as she pointed towards the aunt. She had always thought that the aunt hated her because her mother took her husband away; she was a illegitimate child. But now it seemed that money was far more important to the aunt than Dad!
She almost forgot that on Dad's birthday banquet night, the aunt had nearly gone mad over 10% of the shares!
"Summer, you are just a bastard child born of a wild woman; what right do you have to speak to us?" Xia Wenyiyi suddenly spoke up, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Yes, I am an illegitimate child; so what? At least I know what humanity is. I wouldn't provoke or hurt him while he is still sick in the hospital!"
"What does it matter if that old man dies? I haven't had a husband for a long time; all I want now is money—nothing else!"
Xinran stared wide-eyed at the aunt in disbelief. She thought she knew her somewhat, but it seemed she was completely wrong!
"Why bother competing with them? You are already very tired; you should take a break. You still need to go in and see your father later!" Mu Shaosi had unknowingly arrived beside Xinran, one hand possessively wrapping around her waist.
"You said you could make me the largest shareholder of Xia Sheng Group in the shortest time possible. Is that true?" Xinran slightly turned her body and looked up to ask.
Mu Shaosi nodded.
"Alright, I accept your terms, as long as you can help me!"
