He knew that Xin Yanting wouldn’t leave so easily and so he shouted, “Qiao Jian!”
The moment Yan Rusheng shouted for Qiao Jian, Xin Yanting knew what was coming.
She spoke shrilly once more, and then she glared at Yan Rusheng. “Don’t you want my 30% shares?”
Yan Rusheng tightly clenched his fists at the mention of the shares. His expression darkened. “General Manager Xin, I think I should call President Jiang. I need a replacement as I can’t function at work with you bothering me every day.”
He rose and rounded his desk with his phone in his hand.
Xin Yanting was anxious. “Alright then. I’ll leave now. Don’t call my mom.”
She bolted for the door after she had turned around.
Yan Rusheng placed his phone down after Xin Yanting vanished from sight. A streak of cold gleam flashed across his eyes.
‘Don’t you want my 30% shares.’
…
The corridors of the hospital were silent that night. Xuxu reached Bai Lisong’s ward and gently pushed the door.
Su Yue and Bai Jing were sitting on the couch as they shared a phone. They were watching a video while Bai Lisong laid fast asleep.
She carefully trod towards them and Su Yue raised her head. She beamed at Xuxu and whispered, “Third sister-in-law.”
Xuxu put a finger on her mouth to hush her as she cast a look at Bai Lisong.
Bai Jing’s eyes looked swollen. It seemed like she had been crying the entire day.
Xuxu’s heart sank a little as she walked over. She placed the food on the table and whispered to Bai Jing, “I brought dinner for you. Eat something first.”
Bai Jing rejected her offer. “I don’t feel like eating.”
She lowered her head and her fingers fidgeted.
“Third sister-in-law, she hasn’t eaten anything the entire day.” Su Yue pouted. She felt sorry for Bai Jing.
Xuxu sat down beside Bai Jing and gently gripped her shoulders. “You need to eat, if not how would you take care of your father?” advised Xuxu.
“Daddy…” Bai Jing softly sobbed. “Dad lost his appetite because of the pain.”
Xuxu’s eyes began to glisten, and she firmly said, “He will recover eventually. You should eat or else your father will get worried.”
She stretched her hand to open the food containers. She brought it to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing stole a glance at the white rice, and her tears fell into it.
Su Yue hastily pulled some tissues to wipe them away. “Don’t cry. My third sister-in-law is right. If you won’t eat, your dad will be sad.”
Su Yue and Xuxu continued to console Bai Jing, and they managed to persuade her when she finally nodded. The girl held the food container.
Xuxu passed her a pair of chopsticks.
Bai Jing ate the rice without touching the rest of the dishes.
No matter how Su Yue offered.
Xuxu understood how hard it was to eat when a person has no appetite, so she didn’t force Bai Jing to eat a lot. It was okay as long as she still ate and doesn’t harm her own health.
Seeing her father in such a state, she was filled with an overwhelming sadness. Hence, they shouldn’t rush her.
Bai Jing placed the container down after a few mouthfuls and glanced at Bai Lisong. She softly heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her father sound asleep.
She peered at her own hands with a frown, looking low-spirited.
