Ch. 236..240: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 236-240
Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Warmth Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Warmth When Sheng Siyuan arrived in Y City, it was already around eight or nine in the evening.
After disembarking the plane, without even taking a sip of water, he took the car sent by Xu Guannan to the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
“How was she today?”
“President, rest assured, Madam’s episodes have decreased again. I specifically went to the Drug Rehabilitation Center to check today, and Dr. Qin was very pleased,”
Xu Guannan said while driving.
If even the attending doctor said so, then the situation must be quite good.
Sheng Siyuan’s heart eased.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of the Drug Rehabilitation Center, and Sheng Siyuan, carrying a bowl of osmanthus wine lees, quickly got out of the car.
“Mr. Sheng, you’ve come so late?”
Having come here often, the doctors and nurses at the center had all remembered him.
Sheng Siyuan nodded, “Can I go in to see her?”
“Of course, Dr. Qin has already informed us about your visit, I’ve been waiting for you,”
The nurse said with a smile as she opened the door for him.
Sheng Siyuan then strode energetically inside; in just a short day, his steps had never been so urgent.
Indeed, when he got to the hospital room door, the light inside was still on.
He paused his steps, looked through the glass window, and saw the woman inside sitting quietly by the bed, setting aside the magazine she was holding.
It seemed that she too was waiting for him.
A warmth filled Sheng Siyuan’s heart, and he pushed the door open and went in.
“I’m back~~”
“…Good.”
It was only when Yin Hehe looked up at that moment, and saw the travel-weary man, that a light flickered in her eyes.
She put the magazine down and stood up from the chair.
But unexpectedly, the man saw her standing and immediately came over to support her.
“You don’t have to get up, just sit.”
He was genuinely afraid she might fall again.
Yin Hehe wanted to clarify, but in the end, seeing his anxious and worried dark eyes, she simply gave a faint smile.
And sat down again.
“Coming over so late, have you eaten?”
“Not yet, you?” He was surprisingly candid when he put down the things in his hands.
Yin Hehe was taken aback.
“I have eaten, but… let me ask them if there’s still any food here. Can you manage a bite?”
She didn’t know what had gotten into her; she just suddenly came out with it.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, the man, while taking off his coat, nodded readily, “Okay, have them bring it.”
Yin Hehe: “…”
She could only turn around and pick up the internal line phone from the bedside table.
Before long, a nurse really did come in with a meal, on an iron plate used in the big dining hall, with a grid of rice in the middle and a few side dishes.
“Mr. Sheng, I’m sorry, you’ve come too late, and there wasn’t much left in the cafeteria. Just make do with a little bit,”
The nurse said apologetically as she brought the food to the renowned international conglomerate president.
But Sheng Siyuan took a look and still sat down amiably.
“It’s fine, I’m not picky,”
Then he sat down at the small table in the hospital room.
Yin Hehe: “…”
He’s not picky?
She remembered, back when they were in Shengfei Bay, this guy’s pickiness about food could almost reach the heavens.
She quietly watched him.
But she noticed, after he picked up the chopsticks and looked at the food in the plate, he first picked up the braised pork ribs on the left.
“Crunch!”
The sound of teeth hitting bone.
He froze.
“Is it that bad? Then don’t eat it,” Yin Hehe said, starting to urge him to stop.
But after glancing at her, he continued to eat, appearing to even enjoy it.
“No, I was just thinking, how come the ribs here can still be bitten through?”
“What?”
Yin Hehe didn’t understand at first.
Sheng Siyuan then picked up another piece, put it in his mouth, and bit down hard again.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound.
Indeed, he had crushed it again.
This time, Yin Hehe also felt something strange, so she stood up, walked over to the small table, and bent down to take a closer look.
“Do you want to try it?”
“Sure.”
Without thinking, Yin Hehe took the chopsticks from him.
She picked up a piece of rib, put it into her mouth, and bit down hard. When her teeth hit the hard bone,
she saw the mischievous smile curl up at the corner of the man’s mouth opposite her.
“You—”
“How does it taste, Mrs. Sheng? Do you want to sit down and join me?”
He smiled like a harmless fox.
Yin Hehe pinched her fingers, and eventually, she sat down opposite him.
“There’s only one pair of chopsticks, how can we eat?”
“It doesn’t matter, you take a bite, then I take a bite,” he said with a smile, actually suggesting it like it was nothing.
Uh…
Yin Hehe finally felt completely out of her element.
You take a bite, then I take a bite?
Was this really the same man as before, the one whose germaphobia was so severe that if she touched something, he felt the need to wash the whole of Shengfei Bay?
Ultimately, Yin Hehe found a spoon. While he ate, she took a few bites from the steamed egg in the dish when she could.
“I heard the number of your episodes decreased again today. With this rate, can’t we go home soon?”
“…”
The spoon in Yin Hehe’s hand paused midway.
It seemed Dr. Qin had indeed followed her instructions, which was a relief.
Yin Hehe put down her spoon, pretending she was full, and got up to pour two glasses of water.
“Not so fast, according to our country’s laws, drug users must stay here for at least half a year compulsorily.”
“Half a year?”
With those words, the man grew unhappy.
He set down his chopsticks with a “snap” and asked, “But you didn’t take them yourself, you were framed!”
“It’s the same,” Yin Hehe replied indifferently.
“If I want to keep my lawyer’s license and return to my original job position, I must abide by this. Otherwise, my lawyer’s license will be revoked.”
She walked over to his side, placed the glass of water in front of him, and patiently explained.
The man went silent.
He looked up at the glass of water as the angry veins on the back of his hand remained clearly visible.
But he didn’t say anything impulsive anymore.
Because he knew that this profession meant everything to Yin Hehe—it was her life!
“Alright, half a year it is. If things in Jiangbei stabilize by then, I can just move the headquarters here,” he decided.
“…”
Yin Hehe looked at the man in shock, momentarily at a loss for what to say next.
After finishing the meal, the visitation time at the Drug Rehabilitation Center was nearly over.
“I will come to see you again tomorrow morning.”
As Sheng Siyuan left, he reluctantly made plans for the next morning.
Yin Hehe watched him without saying a word.
She had never seen him like this before; it was almost like a dream.
“There’s no need, you’re busy with work. How about this, buy me a phone and leave it with Dr. Qin. When I’m not in treatment, I can chat with you.”
She finally compromised.
Maybe she, too, wanted to give herself a chance.
The man’s mood instantly brightened. That evening, after he left, regardless if the mobile phone stores were closed or not, he had Xu Guannan call the store owner directly.
He prepared a mobile phone and SIM card overnight.
By the time he returned to the hotel, it was almost dawn.
Chapter 237: Chapter 237: What are you talking about? Chapter 237: Chapter 237: What are you talking about? Jiangbei.
Sheng Siyuan’s mood had been good all morning at the company. Even when Chen Xiaosen came in several times, he saw him holding his phone with a goofy smile on his face.
This…
“Secretary Chen, the sales department just called to say that the land use certificate in the capital has yet to come through!”
Just as Chen Xiaosen was hesitating whether to go in or not, a clerk from the president’s office came looking for him.
Chen Xiaosen’s complexion changed immediately upon hearing this.
“It hasn’t come through again? How many lots does this make now? If this continues, won’t the money we spent buying those lots originally have been completely wasted?”
“Yes.”
The clerk also looked dejected.
The batch of land in the capital was actually obtained by Shengshi Group with the help of Jian Zhongzhou when Sheng Siyuan agreed to marry Jian Rou.
But later, with the wedding called off,
naturally, the use of those plots of land was blocked by him, and it was important to remember that he was one of the top three officials in the capital.
Chen Xiaosen went inside.
“President, there’s an urgent matter that needs your attention.”
“Speak.”
The man, who had been sitting at his desk cradling his phone like a young lad beaming foolishly, tossed the phone into a drawer when he heard this.
“What’s the matter?”
“In the capital, there’s another plot of land that can’t be used. This is the eighth one now.”
Chen Xiaosen placed the detailed information of that plot of land on the man’s desk.
Eight plots, at a rate of two billion per plot, almost amounted to two hundred billion here.
Sheng Siyuan’s expression darkened.
“What’s the reason? Is Jian Zhongzhou secretly holding back the land use certificates again?” He cleverly guessed this.
Chen Xiaosen immediately nodded his head.
“Yes, President. We need to resolve this issue quickly. We had secured more than twenty plots in the capital in one breath. If they all get blocked, our losses could be over a hundred billion.”
He reminded his boss.
There was no choice, as this sum of money was indeed significant for Shengshi Group at the moment.
Sheng Siyuan’s brows furrowed, and after a moment, he took his car keys out of the drawer and stood up.
Chen Xiaosen: “President, are you…?”
“Going back home.”
He said brusquely and left.
In such a moment, of course, going back home to ask his mother would be better, after all, the Jian Family was her maiden home.
But unexpectedly, when he returned to the old house and mentioned the matter to Old Madam Sheng, she let out a cold laugh.
“I can’t do anything about it. Now that you’ve ruined her reputation and she’s carrying your child, how am I supposed to ask him for help?”
“What did you say?”
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck from a clear sky.
In the garden, it wasn’t just Sheng Siyuan’s face that changed; even Old Master Sheng’s eyes bulged.
“What’s going on? Old woman, are you joking around internationally? How could that girl from the Jian Family possibly be pregnant with his child?”
He asked both shocked and furious.
“How could it not be possible? Do you think he agreed to marry Xiaorou for no reason? It’s because this bastard in Provincial City mistook Xiaorou for Yin Hehe and ruined her innocence!”
Unexpectedly, the old lady grew even more arrogant, pointing her finger at Sheng Siyuan’s nose and cursing him harshly.
In an instant, the old man was so angry he could hardly catch his breath.
“You monstrous scoundrel, you… How can you justify what you’ve done to Hehe?”
He glared at his son, cursing in utter disappointment.
Sheng Siyuan remained silent.
However, his complexion was exceedingly ugly, as if a pallor of ashen grey enveloped him.
Even his hands hanging at his sides were shaking unconsciously.
He actually couldn’t remember the events of that night; he only knew that when he came to his senses, Jian Rou was sleeping beside him.
And in a blur, he also remembered indeed having tormented a woman severely.
He was mad.
Afterward, when he burst out of the room, intending to explain himself to Yin Hehe, who was staying downstairs, Xu Guannan called to tell her that the woman had already booked a flight ticket.
So, he stopped.
All the way until he packed his luggage and left the hotel, he didn’t bring up the matter again, even before leaving, when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Yin Hehe coming down from upstairs, he pretended he hadn’t seen her at all.
At that time, his heart was as cold as it was eager to use this matter for revenge against this woman.
He ignored it.
And then, let it spiral out of control.
But he hadn’t expected that things would turn out this way.
“Do you really think that because I haven’t come to you about that matter, it means I don’t know anything?”
In the deathly silence.
The man with a pale face finally spoke.
His gaze bore into her, filled with resentment and rage; at that moment, it was as if his look could shred her into pieces to feed to dogs!
The old lady shuddered on the spot.
“What…what are you talking about? What do you know?”
“What do you think?” He stepped closer to the old woman with each word.
“Do you still have the face to point your finger at my nose and curse me loudly? If it weren’t for you being the instigator, would Jian Rou have ended up in my bed?”
He finally roared out the truth, filled with immense hatred.
The old man was struck as if by lightning, again!
He slowly turned his head and saw the old lady behind him trying to argue, and suddenly, a towering rage surged from his chest. He raised his hand and furiously slapped the old lady.
“You evil woman, I’ll beat you to death!”
The old man’s roars echoed throughout the garden.
The old lady was slapped to the ground and didn’t dare utter another word of protest until the cane came swinging down hard on her.
She cried out, wailing like a ghost, trying to seek help from Sheng Siyuan.
But by then, Sheng Siyuan was already out, wandering like a lost soul.
And Jian Rou, she was actually pregnant…
—
Y City.
It was only until evening in the hospital room where Yin Hehe waited without receiving a reply on her phone.
What was he doing?
Was he too busy today?
She checked again, making sure there were only messages from the morning, and no sign in the afternoon, before placing her phone back on the nightstand, disappointed.
“Hehe, it’s time to eat.”
At that moment, a nurse came to call her out for dinner.
It was then she left the hospital room.
In the Drug Rehabilitation Center, after the conditions of those on D are under control, they typically have free time to dine.
“Hehe, what’s wrong today? You look down. Are you feeling unwell again during the treatment?”
Dr. Qin accompanied her to the cafeteria, and while getting her meal, she specifically asked with concern.
Yin Hehe shook her head.
“No, oh, Dr. Qin, could I… could I get an extra portion of food to take back with me today?”
Suddenly, Yin Hehe asked as she looked at the still plentiful dishes in the cafeteria window.
Dr. Qin smiled.
As the person in charge here, she was clearly aware of what had happened that evening.
“Of course, you can go ahead. See what dishes you want, get the takeout packed first, and then we’ll eat.”
“Mhm, mhm.”
Yin Hehe’s eyes brightened.
She took a container over, and quickly filled it up with a generous portion of beef, chicken steak, char siu…
and other meat dishes.
Now, that should be enough for him, and hopefully, he won’t complain…
Chapter 238: Chapter 238: It’s the First Time He Called Her Wife Chapter 238: Chapter 238: It’s the First Time He Called Her Wife Yin Hehe waited until very late.
The meal was also kept warm on the water heater by her.
But, as the lights-out time in the hospital ward approached, she still hadn’t seen the man come.
He hadn’t replied to her messages either.
“Hehe, it’s time to turn off the lights, it’s late, you need to rest early,”
The duty nurse, who had visited her several times, had no choice but to urge her to rest.
Yin Hehe turned off the lights.
She obediently returned to her hospital bed and closed her eyes.
Maybe he really was busy.
That’s what she thought as she finally drifted off to sleep.
The night was peaceful.
The next day.
She was gently awoken by Dr. Qin.
“Hehe, it’s time to get up and have breakfast. After you’ve eaten, you need treatment, or your drug addiction will act up again.”
She was like her mother, reminding her by her bed every day for the past half a month.
Yin Hehe nodded and got up obediently.
After a simple wash, she also ate the breakfast that the doctor had brought her.
“Hmm, you look quite well today. Did your husband come by yesterday?”
Seeing her so cooperative and in good spirits this morning, Dr. Qin couldn’t help but tease her as they ate together.
But as these words fell, the milk Yin Hehe was drinking slowed down.
“No, he might be busy,”
She put down the cup and said with downcast eyes.
Dr. Qin: “…”
Realizing she had spoken out of turn, she hurriedly corrected herself, “Indeed, it’s possible he can’t leave such a big company; it’s okay, he’ll definitely come today.”
“Mm.”
Yin Hehe also nodded.
In her eyes, however, a hint of hope surfaced that she herself hadn’t noticed.
That day, Yin Hehe suffered another day in the hospital ward.
After a day of treatment, her exhausted body and spirit couldn’t help but prompt her to send a message to the man.
[Are you busy?]
[No, I’m on my way over.]
Unexpectedly, this time the reply came quickly.
Yin Hehe’s eyes lit up instantly, and it seemed as if she regained her strength.
Yin Hehe got up, not wanting him to worry when he saw her in such a state, she called the nurse over and, with her help, went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Just as she had finished tidying up, familiar footsteps came from outside.
“Wife, I’m back.”
He pushed open the door of the ward, and for the first time, he called her “wife.”
Sitting on the hospital bed, Yin Hehe was like someone struck by lightning; her pupils suddenly dilated as she slowly turned her head towards him.
Just then, he had already rushed in.
He took a few quick steps to her side and hugged her tightly!
“What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”
She was startled.
Feeling the unusual tightness of the man’s hold, which almost made it difficult to breathe, she hesitated and asked in his arms.
“Nothing,”
But the man shook his head quickly.
“Just… I missed you,” he finally let her go, and under the bright lights in the ward, he looked at her with the corners of his eyes slightly reddened.
Yin Hehe blushed.
She awkwardly avoided his gaze.
“It’s not like… it’s been a long time, it’s just been a day. Okay, let go, you’re early today, we can go eat together.”
She was unnatural and tried to change the subject.
But as she got up, she was pulled back by the man who held onto her hands stubbornly like a child, his eyes behind the glasses incessantly staring at her.
“Even though it’s only been a day, it felt like a long time, wife. Did you miss me this day I didn’t come? Were you sad?”
“…”
What are you talking about?
Yin Hehe felt both ashamed and angry, not wanting to bother with this person anymore.
“Are you coming or not? If not, I’ll go by myself.”
After she finished speaking, she forcefully broke free from his grasp and headed towards the exit of the hospital room.
So infuriating!
Yesterday, he didn’t send her any messages, yet he blamed her for not texting, and on top of that, he stood her up, only to ask if she was feeling bad?
Is his brain filled with water?
Yin Hehe stormed out in a huff.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the man followed her out.
“Wife, where shall we go to eat?”
“…”
Yin Hehe still ignored him.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the cafeteria and she saw the variety of foods at the window that she finally stopped and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“…”
Sheng Siyuan didn’t feel like eating anything.
Because, he had absolutely no appetite right now.
“I’ll have whatever you’re having,” he said at last, managing to conjure up a phrase that showed some emotional intelligence.
Yin Hehe turned to glance at him.
“…then let’s have the steam pot chicken, I had it last time, and it wasn’t bad.”
She made the choice for him anyway.
Sheng Siyuan, of course, had no complaints.
They soon settled down at a table with their steam pot chicken, and Yin Hehe, after a day of treatment, was ravenously hungry.
So, she began to eat heartily.
Sheng Siyuan watched her silently, his gaze shifting between her enjoying her meal with gusto and her beautiful face, which could finally be presented proudly.
For a long while, his eyes didn’t stray.
“Why aren’t you eating? Not hungry?”
Yin Hehe, who had already finished a bowl of soup, looked up and noticed the man hadn’t touched his food, and that’s when she felt something was amiss.
“No, I just had some water earlier.”
Sheng Siyuan promptly picked up his chopsticks.
The taste was a rich chicken soup flavor with the sweet aroma of medicinal herbs.
Indeed it was a nice dish.
Sheng Siyuan had a bowl as well, and then he put his chopsticks down.
“Wife, I’m going to meet with a few important clients in the coming days, and I might not be able to come back. Will you…be angry?”
“Hmm?”
Yin Hehe, who was in the middle of eating, looked up.
“What’s there to be angry about? Your company has so many things to deal with; it’s only natural that you prioritize work.”
She casually answered his question.
She would only get angry if he suddenly stopped contacting her without any warning, not sending even a single message.
Sheng Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright, don’t worry. I will come to keep you company soon after I’ve handled things.”
When he picked up his chopsticks again, it was as if he was making her a promise or maybe he was reassuring himself.
Yin Hehe didn’t notice.
That night, it was only when the lights went out that the man finally left the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
“President, are you really decided on doing this? You went to the capital to meet Jian Zhongzhou’s daughter and took her away yesterday, and he was furious. If he finds out you’re taking her abroad for an abortion, won’t he come causing a scene in Jiangbei?”
Xu Guannan, who had been waiting outside, anxiously asked upon seeing him finally come out.
However, upon hearing this, the man showed no signs of being affected.
“That’s better than his daughter giving birth to the child and coming to Shengfei Bay to cause trouble!”
“…”
With that one sentence, Xu Guannan was effectively silenced.
Indeed, compared to Jian Zhongzhou, Jian Rou was a far more dangerous ticking bomb right now.
If Yin Hehe found out about it.
Then she and this man would be thrown back into Hell again!
Chapter 239: Chapter 239: What Happened? Chapter 239: Chapter 239: What Happened? Sheng Siyuan returned to Jiangbei that night.
Afterward, Yin Hehe really hadn’t seen him come to the Drug Rehabilitation Center for several days.
“Xiaoyin, why haven’t you seen your husband come over recently?”
Doctor Qin noticed this situation, worried that Yin Hehe’s emotions might be affected, and came to find her early in the morning.
Sitting in the hospital room, Yin Hehe felt somewhat embarrassed and lowered her head.
“He has a few clients to meet, these next few days will be very busy.”
“I see,” Doctor Qin heard this and also let out a sigh of relief.
Thereupon, she continued to arrange treatments for her, while Yin Hehe, wanting to present a more perfect state to Sheng Siyuan upon his return, was also very cooperative.
A week later, her condition had improved a lot.
“Xiaoyin, with your current situation, when your husband comes back, I can approve your going out with him for a walk.”
To reward her, Doctor Qin came to tell her this after the day’s treatment.
Yin Hehe was instantly overjoyed.
She began to look forward to that man’s return.
And she had already planned in her mind where the two of them would go to have fun once they went out.
But what she didn’t know was that, while she was longing for these moments, the man she yearned for was overseas at that moment, taking another woman to get an abortion.
“Mr. Sheng, the lady is still vehemently resisting and doesn’t want to have the surgery, what should we do?”
“Take her up!”
Facing this situation, the man standing on the top floor of the hotel merely held his phone and looked down at this bustling metropolis with an icy comment.
The call ended.
Two hours later, when he received another call, it was to inform him that the surgery was over.
“Mr. Sheng, the patient has woken up, she’s asking to see you,” a nurse from the hospital said over the phone.
Sheng Siyuan raised an eyebrow.
After a moment, he still put down his work and took the car keys to go downstairs.
It was just for old times’ sake.
Sheng Siyuan arrived at the hospital, and even before reaching the ward, he could hear the woman’s hysterical cries inside.
“Sheng Siyuan, you beast, I will not let you go, you will pay for what you’ve done to me!”
“…”
Suddenly, Sheng Siyuan lost his former interest,
He stopped, went to the restroom, and smoked a full two cigarettes before he went out to see the woman.
Jian Rou, actually wasn’t so hateful in his memory.
Because, when he was sent to his grandmother’s home, so many people looked down on him, thinking he was weak and sickly.
But this cousin, a few years younger than he, never despised him.
She accompanied him to school.
She also accompanied him through those lonely years at his grandmother’s house.
So, if it weren’t for this incident, he really wouldn’t have been so ruthless to her and would have always seen her as his sister.
Sheng Siyuan walked into the room.
“Clang!”
Just then, a water glass was hurled at him.
He stopped in his tracks, the water glass smashed to pieces beside his foot, and the water splashed onto his trousers.
“Mr. Sheng, are you alright, were you injured?”
The nurse heard the commotion outside and came over, seeing the scene, she immediately asked with concern.
Sheng Siyuan shook his head.
His eyes, however, were fixed intensely on the woman in the hospital room.
At this moment, the woman noticed him, and suddenly, she trembled violently on the hospital bed. Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on him as if wanting to devour him alive.
“Sheng Siyuan, you’re finally here!” she said, gritting her teeth with every word.
Sheng Siyuan walked in expressionlessly, hands tucked into the pockets of his dress pants.
“Jian Rou, stop going mad here. I had your child aborted for your sake, so you could have a good life in the future. Don’t push me to my limits.”
“My limits?” The woman on the hospital bed let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
“What limits of yours? You’ve been able to kill your own flesh and blood, and that’s not even your limit. Then what is?”
She sounded like a madwoman as she sharply ridiculed him from the bed.
However, her words didn’t affect the man at all; he stepped closer, staring at her near emotionlessly from the bedside.
“You are mistaken; only the offspring I, Sheng Siyuan, acknowledge are mine. What’s in your belly is the sin you, Jian Rou, have committed.”
His thin lips parted to utter some of the cruelest, most heartless words in the world.
Jian Rou’s face instantly lost all color.
Sitting on the hospital bed, she gripped the blankets tightly, and as hope plummeted in her heart, she questioned him with a voice as harsh as a banshee’s, “My sin? Sheng Siyuan, it was you who took away my innocence in the first place!”
“Heh~~” As his words ended, the man let out a cold laugh right there.
“True, I took it, but whose fault is that? Did I ask you to drug me?”
His eyes were filled with nothing but scornful retort.
…
Silence finally settled in the hospital room.
The woman, after that sentence landed, seemed as if she had been struck at her vitals by a snake, rendered unable to make a sound.
What remained was the pallor of her face shifting from livid to ashen.
Sheng Siyuan saw this, a sneer crossing his lips again, and he turned to leave.
“But, it was your mother who devised the plan. If she hadn’t suggested it, I wouldn’t have come up with such a thing.”
Unexpectedly, when the woman saw him about to walk away, she screamed out loud from behind him.
Sheng Siyuan stopped again.
He turned to look at this woman who was still trying to argue, the last bit of pity in his heart completely vanishing, leaving only disgust in the depths of his eyes behind the glasses.
“If you didn’t have it in your heart, could she have persuaded you?”
“You…”
It was like a slap had viciously struck her face, and now, her color rose to where it extended down to her neck.
Humiliation, hatred, despair…
Everything came rushing up at this moment, and sitting on the hospital bed, her features even began to contort.
“Yes, I did have it in my heart, but Sheng Siyuan, that’s because I love you!” she cried out loudly.
“Would Yin Hehe dare do the same? Aside from running away from you, what else can she do? You’re such a proud man, yet now, you’ve thrown your dignity to the ground for her, what’s so good about her? Am I inferior to her?”
She suddenly brought up Yin Hehe.
In an instant, the man who had reached the doorway stopped short upon hearing that name; his piercing gaze shot towards her fiercely.
“Don’t you dare mention her!” His voice suddenly turned as sharp as a knife’s edge.
“Jian Rou, let me tell you, if you refrain from mentioning her, I might spare your life, but if you say her name again, do you believe I’ll throw you out this window right now?”
He pointed to the window in the hospital room.
At that moment, as intense murderous intent erupted within his chest, nothing but death lingered in his pitch-black pupils behind the lenses.
Indeed, if she mentioned it again, he would truly kill her.
After all, the very start of the Yin Hehe incident was this woman drugging her in Provincial City hotel, which led to Yin Hehe leaving the country, eventually falling into Henry’s hands.
This ultimately resulted in her current tragedy!
Perhaps having never seen him so ferocious and cold before, the woman finally dared not make a sound.
Sheng Siyuan then turned away.
But just at that moment, the woman in the hospital room suddenly leaped from the bed.
“Sheng Siyuan, I will make you remember forever the price of betraying me, Jian Rou!”
“Thud!”
Sheng Siyuan had only enough time to turn his head when the woman had already jumped out the window!
Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Jian Rou is Dead Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Jian Rou is Dead Y City.
Yin Hehe was getting restless.
She no longer obediently slept, nor was she willing to hand over her phone. Instead, she hid it, ready to check it immediately after her treatment ended.
Doctor Qin saw this and was very worried.
“Nurse Zhang, please call Xiaoyin’s husband and ask when he can come over? This can’t go on like this.”
“Okay, Dr. Qin.”
The nurse immediately made the call.
However, the person who answered the call was not the one they were looking for.
“I’m her brother. Her husband has been very busy lately and doesn’t have time. I’ll come and see her, is that okay?”
“Of course, of course.” Hearing it was her brother, the Drug Rehabilitation Center readily agreed.
Thus, after waiting for nearly half a month, Yin Hehe finally saw someone from Jiangbei come to visit her.
It was her brother, Yin Beixiao.
“Hehe, to tell you the truth, Sheng Siyuan has gone to the imperial capital. Jian Zhongzhou has been causing trouble for him lately, and it’s tough to deal with. Bear with it a bit,” said Yin Beixiao candidly after meeting his sister.
Yin Hehe’s hand, which was holding a cup of water, suddenly stopped.
“Is it because… he called off Jian Rou’s wedding?”
“…Yes,” Yin Beixiao nodded in confirmation.
“Think about it, Jian Zhongzhou is after all the third most powerful man in the imperial capital. His daughter has caused such a scandal in Jiangbei, he certainly won’t let it go just like that. I’ve heard that the Shengshi Group’s twenty-some land bids over there are being blocked by him, not giving permission to use.”
He scratched the back of his head in frustration and spoke angrily.
Yin Hehe’s face turned pale.
She had guessed that the cancellation of the wedding would have consequences, but she hadn’t expected them to be so severe.
Her fingers turned a bit icy. After a moment, she took another sip of hot water, which made her feel slightly better.
“So what’s the situation now? He went to the imperial capital, has there been any progress in dealing with this matter?”
“I don’t know that. However, he instructed me to come and keep you company while he’s away, so you wouldn’t worry,” Beixiao said as he took out a bottle of osmanthus wine that he had brought with him and thumped it on the table, looking at his sister.
Yin Hehe: “…”
She could no longer ask further.
In the following days, Yin Beixiao truly stayed by her side, visiting every morning and returning to dine with Yin Hehe in the evening.
Since his arrival, Yin Hehe’s mood had become much more stable.
The situation was disturbed again one afternoon a week later, just after Yin Hehe had finished her treatment and was resting in bed.
“Xiaohe, there’s someone outside claiming to be your uncle. Shall I let him come in to see you?”
Uncle?
Yin Hehe, just out of treatment, was a bit groggy.
Hearing that it was a relative, she nodded her head in agreement.
Soon, the nurse brought the person in. Yin Hehe, lying on the hospital bed, saw the visitor and realized it was Jian Zhongzhou.
“It’s you?”
Her face changed instantly, ignoring her lack of strength, she propped herself up to sit on the bed.
Jian Zhongzhou surveyed the hospital room.
In the end, his unwelcoming gaze settled on Yin Hehe.
“So you really did take drugs.” He pulled over a chair and sat down at the head of Yin Hehe’s bed.
By then, Yin Hehe had forced herself to be alert.
Seeing his first words were such, a sense of vigilance immediately rose within her.
“Mr. Jian, what do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything, I just want to seek justice for my daughter!”
Unexpectedly, the second sentence from Jian Zhongzhou was such a baffling statement.
Justice?
His daughter?
So, was he referring to the wedding that was canceled?
Yin Hehe’s guarded look in her eyes slowly relaxed, and a trace of apology emerged on her face.
“Mr. Jian, in this matter, indeed, Siyuan did something wrong. If you need compensation, just say the word, and I’ll talk to him about it.”
Yin Hehe took the initiative to mention compensation.
After all, in her opinion, ever since Sheng Siyuan had told her the details, she felt she couldn’t absolve herself from the situation.
But unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, she saw Jian Zhongzhou sitting there, throwing back his head and laughing loudly for a long time.
“Compensation?” He wiped the tears from his eyes that had come from laughing.
“Compensate what? Compensate me for a daughter?”
“What did you say?” Yin Hehe didn’t understand, “Daughter?”
“Yes, a daughter, a living daughter. Yin Hehe, has Sheng Siyuan not told you yet? My daughter was driven to death by him!”
“!!!!”
It was like a thunderclap in a clear sky!
Yin Hehe stared blankly at this man, and for a long time her mind couldn’t accept these few sentences.
Jian Rou had actually died.
How could that be possible? How long had it been? Half a month?
But Sheng Siyuan hadn’t told her anything…
Yin Hehe still couldn’t believe such a thing; she paused for a moment before finally asking, “Mr. Jian, are you joking?”
“What am I joking about? Would I joke about such a thing? That was my daughter!!”
One sentence triggered a sudden outburst from this man.
He stood up from the chair with a “whoosh,” and his long-suppressed hysteria made the whole hospital ward buzz.
Yin Hehe was stunned again.
“But why would she do that? Just because… the wedding was canceled?”
“What canceled wedding? I’ll tell you, it’s because my daughter was pregnant with Sheng Siyuan’s child. That bastard, to keep my daughter out of your hair, he took her to the capital and forcibly brought her to M country for an abortion!! It was only after she lost the child that she became utterly despondent and jumped to her death!”
Jian Zhongzhou roared in the hospital room.
He held his head in his hands, like a completely madman, howling in pain throughout the hospital room.
If it weren’t for the nurses outside hearing the commotion and rushing in promptly…
I’m afraid he would have come over to strangle Yin Hehe to death.
“It’s all because of you, you despicable pair! If it weren’t for you two, my daughter wouldn’t have died. I must avenge her, revenge!”
As Jian Zhongzhou was dragged away, he was still shouting loudly, even when he was taken far away.
Yin Hehe could still hear it in the hospital room.
“Xiaoyin, are you ok? I’m so sorry, it’s our fault at the Drug Rehabilitation Center for not controlling well and letting such a person in.”
Dr. Qin entered the hospital room, and seeing Yin Hehe sitting motionlessly on the hospital bed, her face deathly pale, he hurried over to comfort her.
Yin Hehe still did not move.
It was a while before, as the doctor was about to examine himself, she finally snapped out of it and grabbed the doctor’s wrist.
“Dr. Qin, could you give me my phone? I want to call my husband,” she pleaded.
It was the first time she referred to that man with the intimate term “husband.”
Dr. Qin immediately brought her the phone.
A few minutes later, Yin Hehe, mustering all her courage, finally dialed that familiar number.
