Through the blinds, Hehe felt her heart ache as she watched him leave. She closed her eyes and tears dripped down her face.
“Ah Che, you're in a lot of pain, aren't you? Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to torture each other?”
Many of the Qi Group's executives followed Qi Che and left without saying a word. A group of people with strong auras walked across the hospital's shiny marble floor, with all the passers-by making way for them.
The gossipy reporters outside the hospital were stopped by layer after layer of heavy security. They only reluctantly dispersed after everyone important got into their cars and left.
Du Jue, who was in the driver's seat, spoke hesitantly. “President, you... Why didn't you go in and see Miss Xu?” He was obviously nervous.
Qi Che rubbed his temples tiredly. His voice was hoarse when he answered. “Maybe she doesn't want to see me.” Thinking of how Hehe had so obviously avoided him ever since her return, he couldn't help but furrow his brows even deeper.
Hehe hadn't expected the situation today. It was the most disadvantageous for her to make such a big fuss, but it was also the best opportunity he had to force her to stay by his side.
“Then, do we need to suppress today's scandal?”
“Not for the time being.” Qi Che waved his hand.
“But... It will be very disadvantageous for Miss Xu, right?” Du Jue could already imagine how badly everyone would scold Xu Hehe.
“When did you become so wishy-washy?”
“I...” Du Jue had been about to say ‘I wasn't I worried for you.’ Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to say the rest of his sentence.
The next day, the overwhelming reports made people dizzy. All the newspapers and magazines reported the shocking news in huge, detailed and 365-degree angle articles.
“A diamond bachelor abandons his first daughter and falls in love with a vixen!”
“A shocking scandal. His first daughter is unable to compete with his ex-girlfriend. He's drunk at a bar late at night.”
“Qi Group President: who do you love?”
“Xu Hehe, the fighter jet of a mistress. Her methods are comparable to Deng.”
For a time, Xu Hehe's limelight even surpassed that of movie and television stars. She was ranked first on the online real-time search rankings.
In the VIP ward, Xu Hehe, who had slept for an entire day and night, finally regained her energy. She drank a bowl of millet porridge that President Cheng had someone send over. In her heart, she was thinking about how she should tell her teacher about the surgery when he called.
It took too much energy. Half a year ago, her teacher had decided not to allow her to be the chief surgeon anymore.
“Xu Hehe, you're awake!” Hao Lianfei held a bunch of bright and beautiful lilies in her arms and carried a basket of fruits of all kinds of food in her hands. She pushed the door open and walked in with her high heels.
She placed the flowers into a vase carefully and she sat in front of Hehe with a sly smile on her face. “As expected, you did not disappoint us! You must wear a helmet when you go out now!”
“Why would I wear a helmet?”
“I'm afraid that you'll be pelted with rotten eggs.” Hao Lianfei shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. “You're the woman who stole the first daughter's man. In private, all the female colleagues in the company admire you so much that they can't wait to paste your photo into a shrine and worship you. Three incense sticks in the morning and evening. Fu Mengyao's face must have turned green with anger, right?”
Hehe smiled bitterly. “Is that so?”
“Your smile is even uglier than your crying!” Hao Lianfei rolled her eyes and raised the white flag to surrender. “Alright, I won't make fun of you anymore. Didn't President Cheng say that your blood sugar is low? Why has he kept you hospitalized and not allowed you to be discharged?”
“Maybe he's making a mountain out of a molehill.” If it wasn't for President Cheng forcing her to recuperate for a few more days, she would have been discharged long ago. However, when she thought about how she didn't know how to face Ah Che when she returned to the villa, she simply agreed to President Cheng's request.
“Oh right, today, the president called He Feifan to his office and requested for you to join his medical team as the chairman of the hospital! I heard that He Feifan was so angry that he slammed the door and left.”
Hao Lianfei shook her head and sighed repeatedly. “Tsk tsk... First, he chased young master Tang away, and now he’s offended young master He. Our president doesn't want anything else for you.”
