Chapter 58 - Shen Mengqi is awake.

In a hospital room, doctors gathered to examine a patient who was unconscious with a woman dressed in a blue suit at her bedside.

The patient creased her eyebrows in pain, her hands weakly grabbing the sheets. Finally she opened her eyes, her lips hoarsely saying the first thing she saw.

"Mother."

Shen Guiying's face didn't display any emotions but her hands wrapped her daughter's own in warmth. "Mengqi, you are already this old, yet you still miss your mother this much?"

She didn't wait for her daughter's answer but instead turned to face the doctors. " How is her condition? Speak."

The doctor-in-charge stepped forward. "Her wounds have healed nicely. She just needs to recuperate."

"Can she do this at home?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

She rose her hand slightly. "Alright, make preparations. You may go."

After they left, she turned to face her only child lying on the bed. Mengqi didn't know why but she felt an overwhelming pressure emitting from her mother's gaze. Instinctively, she lowered her eyes hiding her face guilty.

"Why did you go against the Tang family?"

Shen Mengqi felt cold with fear, gulping softly but still defiantly raised her head and said. "I just want Chunlan dead!"

"And is that a decision you can make by yourself?" Shen Guiying coldly reprimanded her daughter, causing her to tremble a little.

"Mother, sometimes I really don't understand you. Its clear that you hate Tang Huizhong but you won't allow anyone to take any actions against them."

Guiying continued to stare at her daughter, scaring her to silence. Her stare was incomprehensible but the aura showed her annoyance at her thoughtless behavior.

She knew that she was behind the VK scandal, using Ke Mingze as the middleman between the Shen family and the VK group.

She turned to face the door, hiding her thoughts from her daughter. Mengqi didn't say anything else to anger her but instead gripped the sheets with bitterness.

It seems like the rumours are true.

Her mother was in love with her enemy's father, Tang Huizhong!

Could it be that love was superior to even her own daughter?

She hated them all! Because of that despicable family, she had lost her father at a young age depriving her of the paternal love she had always deserved. In this life, the Tang family will be her sworn enemies!

Her mother finally spoke up, refusing to face her. "Rest early. You will be discharged tomorrow evening."

They bowed their head in respect but the commotion that was happening in the hallway caught her attention, making her ignore them. There were two men shouting at a female doctor attracting the stares of people around them. When she finally recognized them, her eyes widened.

It seems like Mo Bingwen and Cai Longwei were the ones who were angrily berating Menxiang in an argument. Menxiang who was initially trying to cajole them eventually got angry too, shouting at them even louder. The guards watched her helplessly as she leaned on one of them weakly to listen in on their conversation.

"Menxiang, I will only ask you this for the last time. Where is that heartless witch, Tang Chunlan?!" Cai Longwei banged his fist angrily on the reception desk, not caring about the scene they were creating.

"Don't talk about my friend that way! If you can't find her at home, go find her somewhere else! How dare you come to my family's hospital to annoy me!" Menxiang glared at them.

"Do you really think we do not know that she is in Norway dallying that evil scum, Wen Honglin?" Mo Bingwen's icy eyes roamed her face, causing her palms to sweat, making her get goosebumps. She took a step backwards.

This was not the Mo Bingwen she knew.

He remained passive at her actions, shifting his eyes away in disdain when he saw her turn pale. Cai Longwei grabbed her arm roughly, bringing her to him. "Tell Tang Chunlan that from now on, I am going to be that going to be her darkest nightmare! If anything happens to Jihai, I would make her pay dearly!"

Menxiang became disconcerted. "W-What happened to Jihai?"

"Enough! Stop pretending, Menxiang. I personally gave you that letter sent by Jihai to give to Chunlan. I now regret, trusting you with my best friend's life." Mo Bingwen who had never raised his voice at a woman did it for the first time on a woman he loved with his whole heart. He was filled with guilt and regret, hatred and pain suffocating him as he looked at Menxiang.

Menxiang grabbed his hand in distress. "What are you talking about? Where is Jihai? Tell me!"

Bingwen flung her hands away, the sudden force flinging her on the cold tiled floor, making her eyes widen in disbelief. He felt his heart clench painfully, his stoic face reflecting none of his internal struggle as he knelt down, bending one of his knees to maintain eye to eye contact with her.

"From now on, the Mo family will have nothing to do with the Su family. Our engagement is over."

Shen Mengqi watched the men leave the hospital, her lips curving into a smile at the scene. Suddenly it turned into a frown as she entered back into the room. She said to one of the female guards. "Follow me."

When the door was shut, she laid on the bed not saying anything for a few minutes. The female guard stands upright, swallowing her growing anxiety when she heard her young mistress say "Find out what happened to Bai Jihai and where he is now."

"Yes, Young Mistress." The female guard left immediately she received the order, but instead went to walked to another female bodyguard giving orders to the ready of the team.

"Sister Ming, I need to talk to you." The woman, Wan Ming dismissed the rest and followed her to a corner discussing in low tones.

After a while, Wan Ming told the bodyguard. "Make sure you do as you are told. Don't disappoint Madame."

The bodyguard had just nodded and walked away when a man came from the shadow, grabbing Wan Ming's waist. Surprised, she attacked the intruder but was easily subdued. When smelled his scent, she relaxed before tensing again. "Release me, Guo Yin!"

A man with a baseball cap covering his scarred face smiled, releasing her to turn her around to face him. Before she say anything, he covered her lips in a fierce kiss.

The stiff head bodyguard of the Shen family instantly revealed her feminine side, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders. Eventually, they separated gazing into each other's eyes lovingly. Wan Ming played with his collars, leaning into him. "What are you doing here?"

"What else, if not to see you, my love?" The man rubbed her waist soothingly.

She scoffed. "Do you think I am a fool? You are just here to monitor my young mistress!"

"I won't deny that." He gave a twisted smile.

"Guo Yin, remember what I told you before. If you ever hurt the Shen family, I won't let you off!"

"Relax! The Wen family will never hurt their allies." He gave her a light kiss. "My master is just worried about her condition."

Wan Ming hesitated, remembering her Madame's orders to keep it all a secret. "Alright.. Tell you master, that Miss Mengqi is awake."
