Today, Qin Zhen arrived at the company, but his heart was shrouded in some emotions. He felt incapable of doing anything properly. He was restless and even made mistakes with several important documents. If it were not for his assistant’s timely discovery, the losses could have amounted to several billion.
The assistant made a cup of tea for Qin Zhen and cautiously asked, “Mr. Qin, are you feeling unwell today? Should I schedule a doctor’s appointment for you?”
Qin Zhen’s tone was a bit harsh, “Do I look like I’m not feeling well?”
The assistant really wanted to say: Mr. Qin, you seem totally unwell. However, he did not dare.
When it was time to leave work, Qin Zhen went home to have dinner with his mother.
Madam Qin asked, “I heard that Mr. Shen suddenly rushed into the emergency room last night. Is it true?”
Qin Zhen fell silent for a moment and replied, “Yes, I heard he had a sudden heart attack, and there was no one with him at the time.”
Madam Qin chuckled, “‘The birthday banquet had Just passed, and such a big incident happened. He probably won’t last much longer…”
She held a grudge against Shen Qingyue in her heart. Shen Qingyue had embarrassed her publicly, and on top of that, she had snatched the plot for Project Suburb One, which Qin’s family had also intended to get. Now that she had seen those documents, the compensation from the Qin family would not be just a small sum of money. She kept all these matters in mind. She could not say much outside, but at home, she could not help but taunt and ridicule. Qin Zhen frowned, “Mom, don’t mock other people’s misfortunes.”
“Huh, are you unhappy?” Madam Qin put down her chopsticks, “In fact, you’re secretly happy, right? That old man, on the day of his birthday banquet, made our Qin family lose face. Are you not angry inside?”
Qin Zhen’s fingertips holding the chopsticks turned slightly pale, “I’m not…”
Madam Qin sneered. How could she not know her own son? Qin Zhen was intelligent, but arrogant and proud, always caring about face, just like his late father.
Feeling annoyed, Qin Zhen directly put down the chopsticks and left.
Madam Qin called out, “Where are you going?
Qin Zhen did not answer and had already left.
Madam Qin was so angry that she threw the chopsticks, “This brat is getting more and more disrespectful towards me.”
Shen Qingyue woke up to find her phone filled with missed calls, mostly from the Chen family. She messaged them back, letting them know she was safe.
There was also news from the housekeeper, saying that her grandfather had awakened but still could not leave the intensive care unit.
Shen Qingyue got up, feeling much better after taking her medicine and sleeping for a day. She pushed open the room door and walked out to find Chi Ming in the living room, working on the computer, his focus absorbed in something.
Hearing her footsteps, Chi Ming stood up and turned to look at her. He said, cooked some porridge, have a little.”
Shen Qingyue shook her head. “Take me to the hospital.”
Chi Ming did not try to stop her, but he packed the porridge for her to eat on the way.
When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Jun was still conscious.
Shen Da and Shen Yiyan were waiting outside the intensive care unit. When they saw Shen Qingyue arriving, they greeted her, but she ignored them.
Shen Yiyan’s face turned unpleasant, and he was about to say something when Shen Da pulled him back.
Shen Qingyue could not enter the intensive care unit, so she could only look at her grandfather through the glass window.
Shen Jun noticed her presence and weakly smiled at her, trying to comfort her emotions.
Though her heart was aching, Shen Qingyue managed to smile back at Shen
Jun. After standing there for a while, she received a message from Yu Zhuang:
[President Shen, I found evidence that Shen Da purchased Asidilin a week ago.]
Shen Qingyue glanced at Shen Da’s family and then walked to a corner to reply: [Did you get the evidence?]
Yu Zhuang: [Yes, I got it. Someone anonymously sent me extreme audio and the pharmacy’s purchase records, all the evidence points to Shen Da.]
Yesterday, Shen Qingyue already suspected that Shen Da’s family was involved in this matter, and now that the truth was revealed, she wasn’t surprised. She didn’t immediately confront Shen Da with the evidence; she didn’t want to waste time arguing with him. She wanted to solve the problem all at once.
After finishing this conversation, Shen Qingyue returned to the door of the intensive care unit.
Shen Da was on high alert and pretended to casually ask, “What’s the matter? Why do you avoid us?”
“It’s a friend’s call. I didn’t want to disturb Grandpa, so I went outside to take it,” Shen Qingyue glanced at him. “Uncle, why are you so concerned? Do you need to ask every time I answer a call?”
Shen Da forced a chuckle. “I was just asking casually. Do you need to make a big deal out of it?” He then pulled Shen Yiyan up. “Since you’re here, we’ll go back first. Call us if you need anything.”
Shen Qingyue did not say anything.
Shen Da anxiously left without saying much. Once they were out of the hospital, Shen Yiyan anxiously asked, “Dad, was everything done cleanly? Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with Shen Qingyue’s expression?”
Shen Da was a bit impatient. “It’s all your fault.. If you hadn’t rushed me, I wouldn’t have been so hasty in drugging him!”
