After crying enough and feeling exhausted, Xingkong fell asleep in Huo Siye's arms. Even though she was asleep, the little girl still looked fearful and uneasy, which made Huo Siye frown with concern. His eyes were dark and filled with an unfamiliar emotion.
"Goodnight, little girl," he whispered softly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.
It was almost dawn and the last light in Junsheng Group had been turned off. Dong Ru zhu lay on the ground until dawn, with no one to care or ask about her. It was only when the control center turned off all the air conditioners in the building that she finally got up and called 119.
She was rushed to the hospital and admitted to the ward after emergency treatment. She didn't want to see Shen Zhizhou's disgusting face, nor did she want to trouble Shen Xinrou, so she called Dong Siyu instead.
"I heard about what happened today. I'm not blaming you, but how could you be so reckless?" Dong Siyu sounded displeased on the phone.
Dong Ru zhu was exhausted, her voice hoarse. "I don't feel well now. Can you stop talking for a while?"
"You knew that Huo Siye was suppressing this matter, but you still went to find him. What good could come out of angering him?"
"I said I'm not feeling well now!"
"Now you know you're not feeling well? You should have known the consequences when you went to find Huo Siye!"
"Siyu, can you come and take care of me? Bring me some food."
"Staying up late is not good for your skin, let's talk about it tomorrow," Dong Ru zhu didn't expect that at this moment, as an older sister, she didn't even consider the importance of beauty sleep. She felt bitter, cold, and heartless.
"I warn you for the last time, don't go looking for trouble with Huo Siye, you will only bring trouble to Xinrou!" Dong Siyu was dissatisfied with the warning and hung up the phone without a word of concern for her sister.
Dong Ru zhu listened to the beeping sound on the phone and couldn't help but sneer. Bring trouble to Xinrou? What relationship could there be between Shen Xinrou and Huo Siye?
Exhausted, Dong Ru zhu lay on the bed. Her younger sister's indifference, her daughter's imprisonment, were like a sharp knife stabbing her heart. She couldn't understand how things had come to this.
Xinai was about to go to university, and Dong Ru zhu had already arranged her internship and future job. But suddenly, her bright future was destroyed in an instant. If she really went to jail, even if it was only for a month, what future could Xinai have?
She couldn't sleep, and every time she closed her eyes, she could only think of Shen Xinai suffering in prison.
"Xinai...my poor Xinai..."
"I'm sorry, Xinai, Mom can't save you..."
"Xinai, my dear Xinai, Mom misses you so much..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely save Xinai."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into her ears. Dong Ru zhu opened her eyes and saw the familiar person. The strong facade she had been holding up was instantly destroyed, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "It's done..."
The man sat down by the bed and took her cold hand, his eyes full of pity. "Ru Zhu, how did you end up like this?"
"It's all because of Shen Xingkong! She's the one who did this to me. I want to kill her, I must kill her!"
Song Shicheng let out a deep sigh. "Don't get too worked up. First, focus on getting better."
"We can't wait. Xinai has been arrested and will soon be transferred to the prosecutor's office. If we don't save her now, we won't have a chance. Our Xinai can't go to jail."
"I know, I won't let our daughter go to jail." Song Shicheng comforted her, patting her hand.
"Save her, this poor child has had such bad luck. We've already let her down enough, we can't let her go to jail. Shen Xingkong must be killed, she must be killed."
"Shen Xingkong will be dealt with, but not now."
"Why not?"
"At a time like this, if anything were to happen to her, suspicion would fall on you." Song Shicheng explained.
Dong Ru zhu laughed bitterly. "So we just have to watch her be smug and arrogant? Who does she think she is? Why did she have to do this to Xin'ai? If I had known this would happen, I should have let her die with Liang Xinying."
"Don't get too worked up, trust me, I'll handle this."
"How? How will you handle this? Are you willing to go against Huo Siye?"
Song Shicheng's gaze turned cold and he snorted.
He was very unhappy with Dong Ru zhu's sarcasm, but he couldn't argue with her.
In this world, no one dared to go against Huo Siye.
In recent years, he seemed to have been marginalized by the Huo Group, only taking over the Junsheng Hotel Group. But everyone knows how much he is valued by Old Man Huo. The discerning eye knows that the Junsheng Group is not only a means for Old Man Huo to train Huo Siye's abilities, but also paves the way for him to fully accept the Huo Group in the future.
The second branch, which controls half of the assets, is unwilling to accept this.
The third branch, which has only one daughter, is even more unwilling, so they try their best to win over Huo Siye. Once he marries Shen Xinai, he will have an unbreakable relationship with the third branch, and they will benefit each other.
But obviously, Huo Siye is not interested in cooperating with the third branch. Why? Because he has the ability to swallow the entire Huo Group.
"You don't have to offend Huo Siye to save Shen Xinai."
At this moment, a gentle voice with a sharp edge came from the door of the ward.
Dong Ru zhu and Song Shicheng looked over, both surprised.
Dong Ru zhu quickly pulled her hand out of Song Shicheng's hand, looking uneasy.
Huo Qingyan walked over with light steps, smiling faintly, "I said, only I can save Shen Xinai."
Dong Ru zhu stared at her, still unable to believe her, "Did Shen Xingkong send you to make fun of me?"
Huo Qingyan stood by the bed, her eyes faint, and although she was smiling, her smile made people feel uncomfortable. It was as if she could see through people.
Song Shicheng felt embarrassed about his identity and didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't say anything.
Dong Ru zhu said again, "Tell Shen Xingkong that even if I die, I won't let her have a laugh."
Huo Qingyan curled her lips and said, "Do you think she hasn't been watching you guys make a fool of yourselves? She's been doing it since the school banquet."
Dong Ru zhu didn't want to admit it, but it was true. Since then, Shen Xingkong was no longer the Shen Xingkong they knew. It seemed like everything had gone wrong.
"I think soon, all of you, you, your husband, and Shen Xinai, will all be ruined by Shen Xingkong," Huo Qingyan's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about the weather today.
"That's impossible! We were careless this time, but we won't let Shen Xingkong succeed next time," Dong Ru zhu retorted.
She didn't believe Shen Xingkong could still rise to the top. Even with Huo Siye protecting her, so what? Could Huo Siye protect her for a lifetime?
"Madam Shen, you don't believe me again. Tsk tsk, it's a pity. It seems that Shen Xinai will have to suffer a bit," Huo Qingyan said.
