Radix Sorbiae, will you divorce me for Miss Xia Anqi?

"Jian Wei, are you alright?"

Finally arriving at his office, just as Jian Wei sat down, Little Zhao came over to ask him with concern.

Jian Wei thought, could it be that he had just jogged all the way here and made them misunderstand?

"Ah, I was just late. I was a bit out of breath from being rushed. I had nothing to do." Jian Wei calmed down and opened the folder, ready to start work.

The Little Zhao looked at Jian Wei with hidden bitterness, as if he did not want to leave.

Jian Wei felt a bit of doubt in her heart. She turned her head to look at Little Zhao, but Little Zhao was still holding onto his hands as he looked at her.

"Uh, about that, Little Zhao, do you know, I'm so angry!" Seeing that the Little Zhao was in a bad mood, Jian Wei decided to take the initiative and speak.

Little Zhao acted as if Jian Wei saw through what she was about to say, and suddenly became interested, "Yes, yes!"

"When I first arrived at the company this morning, I was almost late! I just happened to arrive at the elevator and wanted to squeeze in, but they actually refused to let me in because I'm pregnant! " Jian Wei talked about her own matters excitedly, pretending to be angry to make the Little Zhao laugh.

Little Zhao's expression did not change, as he stood there in a daze.

"Say, if I get into that elevator, wouldn't I be late?" "Could it be..." The more Jian Wei said, the more embarrassed she felt. She felt that it was really funny, maybe she wasn't suitable to tell jokes?

Little Zhao looked at Jian Wei, shook his head and sighed, as though he was looking at a foolish child, and turned back to his desk to begin working.

Jian Wei had a face full of doubt, and lamented that she was really not someone who was good at telling jokes. She pouted her lips, and looked at Little Zhao's back.

"Why are all of you looking at me like that?" Jian Wei suddenly realized that other than Little Zhao, the rest of her colleagues were all looking at her with sympathy.

"We know you're the best! Come on!" A young female colleague's voice came from the corner. The other colleagues nodded, saw Jian Wei looking at them without saying a word, and then went back to work.

Jian Wei picked up the cup of water with suspicion, preparing to drink some water. When she realized that there was no water in the cup when she raised her hand into the air, she stood up and walked towards the tea room.

"The Xiao family's Starlight Advertising Competition has a shady effect!" The newspaper in the tea room had surprisingly written a few words on it, causing Jian Wei to immediately understand everything that had just happened.

It was early in the morning, and the Xiao Group's gate was filled with reporters. When they saw Xiao Yihan had arrived, they all rushed over like a swarm of bees.

"Radix Sorbiae, may I ask what is your relationship with Miss Xia Anqi?

"Radix Sorbiae, I heard that you are already married, and that Miss Xia Anqi has cheated on you?"

"Radix Sorbiae, will you divorce me for Miss Xia Anqi?"

"Radix Sorbiae..."

The moment Xiao Yihan arrived at the company, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters. He was dazzled by the bright lights, and a lot of questions caused him to have a headache.

How did this pop up all of a sudden? It was already troublesome enough that there was already a conspiracy in the previous competition, why is there another demon? The more Xiao Yihan thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Arriving at the office, Xiao Yihan saw the continuously falling share price on the screen, and heavily smashed himself into the sofa. Not a single thing had gone well in the past few days. Women and companies were all like this.

The secretary knocked on the door, "Radix Sorbiae, the directors have requested for a temporary shareholders' general meeting, and now they are waiting in the conference room."

"Yes, I'll be there shortly." Xiao Yihan's voice sounded gloomy.

A few doyens sat on the seats calmly. The other shareholders looked at Xiao Yihan with reproach in their eyes, almost as if they could spit fire in anger, but due to their status, they did not dare do anything too excessive.

"Radix Sorbiae, right now all the shareholders are selling off the company's shares. The company's shares are falling again and again, and the company's reputation is also suffering greatly." A rather daring shareholder could not help it.

After saying that, the conference room was eerily quiet, Xiao Yihan walked over to his seat expressionlessly.

He cleared his throat and said, "Since this matter happened because of me, I will naturally give everyone an explanation, an explanation …"

At the end of the meeting, there was no perfect solution.

"This group of people only think of their own interests and only know how to use money. If their interests are slightly affected, they will scream non-stop!" Xiao Yihan swept the information on the table to the floor.

"Ding ling ling ~ ~" The phone on the table rang at the wrong time, and the fire in his heart burned ten feet high.

"Hello?" He picked up with an unfriendly tone.

"Young master, come to the hospital quickly. Master has a sudden heart attack and is in a critical situation right now." Old White's voice sounded flustered and panicked.

All that was left was a sense of powerlessness in the mess of life, and all of a sudden it was as if everything had gone the worst way.

He dodged all the reporters at the entrance and rushed to the hospital.

The words "in surgery", written in large red letters on top of the operating room, stung Xiao Yihan's eyes deeply as he approached with bloodshot eyes.

"Young master, when the company's design competition was announced, the master's mood was already very unstable, this morning when he saw you on the news... With your extramarital news, the company's shares have been shamed and have plummeted, so Master … "

"Uncle Bai, you should go and take care of the hospital first. I want to be alone."

"Young master, you …" Old White looked at him worriedly.

"Go."

Xiao Yihan weakly sat on the chair beside him, his hands covering his face and shoulders hanging down. This man who was always in high spirits was now like a lonely child.

When Jian Wei arrived at the hospital, all she saw was Xiao Yihan sitting helplessly in the long corridor. The person who had always been so proud and fearless in front of her suddenly looked like an abandoned child. Jian Wei's heart suddenly twitched.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yihan blankly raised his head. When he saw that it was Jian Wei, all sorts of emotions flashed across his heart for a moment. Blame her? If it hadn't been for her, many things wouldn't have happened at all. Mercy? She hadn't done anything wrong in the first place, and everything was caused by him.

Just like that, one of them sat while the other stood. They stared at each other for a long time.

After a while, the call sounded from the operating room. The doctor came out, sweating profusely.

"Doctor, how is it? Is grandpa okay? "

"We're out of danger. Nothing serious will happen for now."

Hearing this, both of them let out a deep breath, and their worries were finally relieved.

"Grandpa, I'll be fine. You can go back first." Old Man Xiao turned to the ordinary ward and Xiao Yihan ordered him to leave.

"But …" Jian Wei still wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Yihan's frown, he could only leave.

Old Man Xiao didn't wake up until deep into the night and saw his grandson sleeping by his bedside. Old Man Xiao's heart couldn't help but ache. This was his most beloved grandson, the pride of the Xiao family. He was the only successor of the Xiao family who had always been in high spirits. Now, with a pale face and untidied hair, it was as though he had lost a lot of weight in a single day.

When the knock on the door sounded, Jian Wei had just picked up the completed painting.

She rubbed her sore waist and shoulders, stretched her arms, stood up, and slowly walked to the door to open it.

The person dressed in a suit was the butler, Lao Bai.

"Hello, ma'am." Old Bai greeted him politely. "I'm here to fetch you to meet him at Master's request."

Grandfather? Jian Wei had doubts in her heart, as long as Grandfather has something to call her, there was no need to specially arrange for people to come and pick her up!

Seemingly seeing through Jian Wei's doubt, the butler explained, "Master has been awake for a while, and is looking for you right now."

Jian Wei's face changed.

"How is grandpa?" Jian Wei held onto the door frame and anxiously said.

"Master is fine now." the butler said. "So please come with me."

Jian Wei nodded and followed the butler out.

Sitting in the car, Jian Wei tightly pulled on her sleeves. She had probably already guessed why her grandfather would suddenly come looking for her.

Even he himself couldn't accept it when he heard the news, let alone his grandfather who had high hopes for Xiao Yihan.

At that moment, Jian Wei suddenly started to hate Xiao Yihan.

If it was said that she looked at Xiao Yihan with sorrow in the past, then if something bad had happened to her grandfather, she would definitely hate him!

"Weiwei... "You're here." Looking at the Old Man Xiao, who was lying on the sickbed and passing out the blood, Jian Wei started to cry.

"Grandfather …" She held the old man's somewhat withered hand.

"Weiwei, Yi Han has let you down!"

"Grandfather," Jian Wei sobbed, "Don't say anymore, take good care of your body."

Old Man Xiao silently closed his eyes.

He knew about Xiao Yihan's predicament, but he really didn't have the face to ask for anything from Jian Wei.

But Jian Wei was able to understand the old man's thoughts, she wiped away her tears, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will pass this trial together with Xiao Yihan."

Grandfather Xiao's kindness towards her was as heavy as a mountain. Why would she be unwilling to sacrifice so little?

After seeing her Xiao family's grandfather return home, a deep sense of exhaustion swept over her. After a simple wash, she went to bed. However, she didn't fall asleep until midnight.

… ….

Just as the sunlight leapt out of the horizon, the sunlight shone through the slightly swaying curtains into the bedroom, landing on the person on the bed. Jian Wei had already opened her eyes, and lazily stuck her head out of the blanket.

Jian Wei quickly finished washing up and changed her clothes. She was eating breakfast by the table and was thinking about what happened last night when she heard footsteps approaching her.

A pair of sharp and serious face appeared in Jian Wei's slightly raised eyes, causing her to take a glance at it in slight surprise.

"You're here so early. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. You can eat by yourself. After you're done, we'll leave." Xiao Yihan still had an impatient look on his face.

However, his eyes seemed to be avoiding it, as if it was a bit … Awkward.

"Mm, alright, I'll go right now." With that, Jian Wei lowered her head again and started to eat, but she felt the gaze that was staring at her the whole time, pretending to not care, she quickly finished the bowl of food, and revealed a smile: "Let's go now!"

It was a rare occasion for Xiao Yihan not to turn around and leave first, but instead to walk to Jian Wei's side, opening the door for her, and allowing Jian Wei to enter, he then went from the back of the carriage to the driver's seat.

Xiao Yihan sat in the car, and when he saw Jian Wei's' are you alright 'expression, he frowned slightly, then bent over and fastened the seat belt for her with his hands. This time, Jian Wei was even more surprised, what happened to her?
