"Ling Qiao and I are husband and wife. We are already married."
"What?!"
The moment Shen Xiaoxuan arrived at the lounge, she immediately took off her sunglasses and hat, grabbing Shu Shu's shoulder to confirm, "Shu Shu, don't joke with me, it's not funny at all. You're saying that you and Ling Qiao are husband and wife, who would believe you? Ling Qiao was obviously married to the young miss of the Liu family."
"Liu family's eldest daughter, it's me." Thus, Shu Shu told Little Xuan everything that had happened.
"So, the people of the Ling family still don't know that I'm just Liu Ziye's illegitimate daughter, and neither does Ling Qiao. If they find out the truth, it's hard to say that they won't break off the engagement.
Little Xuan didn't say anything after hearing this. She needed time to digest this.
"Little Xuan, you have to help me this time. Otherwise, I'll be exposed. Ling Qiao will definitely beat me to death."
Shen Xiaoxuan patted the back of Shu Shu's hand, "We have been good sisters for so many years, and yet you only now told me the truth. I am too sad, am I not to be trusted by you like this? If something happened to your mother, why didn't you tell me? "
"At that time, you still hadn't stepped out of the industry, you didn't have any income, and your expenses were too high, how could I trouble you? Liu Ziye was originally responsible, he abandoned me and my mother, now that my mother is sick, he should have taken out the medical fees. "Little Xuan, just help me, my mom is still taking medicine right now and has to visit regularly. I just started working and don't have any savings, I can't let Ling Qiao expose me now. If Ling Qiao knew that I'm just Liu Ziye's illegitimate daughter, he would definitely divorce me."
"Really?" Shen Xiaoxuan asked with ulterior motives.
Shu Shu nodded heavily. "Of course it's true. Don't they just want to fulfill grandfather's wish? If they find out that I'm just an illegitimate child, what will happen then?!"
"But you are also your father's daughter, your grandfather's granddaughter. Isn't that legitimate?"
"Sigh, to tell you the truth, my mother and father have never been married. My mother is unmarried and has no children. A rich family like the Ling family would absolutely not accept it."
Little Xuan comforted: "Okay, don't be sad anymore. Do I look like someone who doesn't care about friends to you? I'm just angry that you didn't tell me earlier! "
Shu Shu took Little Xuan's arm, smiling as she said, "I knew Little Xuan was still the best. Thank you, my dear."
"Fuck you, who is your darling? Why should we thank you? Idiot."
When Shu Shu returned to the ward, Ling Qiao's angry roar could be heard coming from the corridor. Following that, two young nurses were chased out. One of them had tears on his face and a wronged expression on his face.
Shushu gave them a dry laugh. She didn't know what else to do.
Shen Xiaoxuan pushed her shoulder and said, "ShuShu, Ling Qiao must be furious after getting caught in the nightclub."
Shu Shu nodded, "That's right, Little Xuan. Let's follow what we agreed on just a moment ago. In a while, you will be with me."
"Mm, don't worry, I know what to do."
ShuShu stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door. "Scram!" A loud sound came from inside.
Shu Shu pushed open the door, stuck her head in and timidly said, "It's me."
Ling Qiao was dressed in patient attire and had a mahjong face. The shirt and suit he had worn last night were on the sofa at the side. His tie was hanging carelessly, and one end of it had already fallen to the ground.
When Ling Qiao saw Shu Shu, his worry for the entire night finally subsided. However, what followed was anger. She actually dared to lie to him!
Last night, he was really bored. If it was before, when he was used to being alone, he would have stopped living like that. But now that she suddenly appeared in his life, bringing him joy and happiness, suddenly becoming a person again, his heart could not help but feel somewhat empty.
What's more, this was a hospital. He found it boring to watch TV, and the internet was filled with her smile. He missed her so much that he didn't even know himself. He missed her so much already.
However, he was a person who cared about face. He would never admit that he missed her. He flipped through her picture on his cell phone and smiled foolishly. Damn woman, stinky thing, you just know how to play outside and you don't call me, even if it's just a text.
He fiddled with his cell phone and punched out the number again and again. After editing the text message, he deleted every single word. He just didn't want to send her a text message on his own accord!
I wonder who else will be at Summan's birthday party. Hmph, no matter how outstanding I am, I can't compare to you!
He waited until midnight, but he still couldn't sleep, and ShuShu still hadn't contacted him. He was bored. How dangerous it was for a girl to stay in a bar so late. If she got drunk again, wouldn't it be easy to lose out? Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if he met a pervert? This won't do, how could his wife be bullied by others?!
Thus, he threw aside all questions related to face and gave her a call. Damn, his phone was turned off!
"Zijun, hurry up and drive to the entrance of the hospital and wait for me there. Right now!"
Without thinking, Ling Qiao changed into a suit and walked out of the ward. At 12 o'clock, the nurse on duty was dozing off. He then silently walked out.
When they arrived at the door, Deng Zijun was just about to drive over. He got out of the car and opened the door for Ling Qiao, asking, "CEO, are you alright?"
"It doesn't matter!" Ling Qiao's face was dark and filled with displeasure, "Hurry, let's go to the bar."
"Oh." Deng Zijun did not dare to ask any further questions. He got into the driver's seat and quickly rushed to the bar.
But when he found her, he didn't see her. He asked where it was. No one had a birthday party here today.
Stupid girl, you lied to me, where did you go?! He was angry, he was worried!
Deng Zijun could see that he was angry, so he did not dare to make a sound.
Ling Qiao picked up her phone, pressed her number, and called again and again. The phone was always turned off, and thinking that the only good friend he knew of her was Shen Xiaoxuan, he called Chen Da to ask for Shen Xiaoxuan's number.
In the middle of the night, Chen Da had already fallen asleep. He could hear his phone ringing non-stop. He picked up his phone and cursed without even looking at it, "What bastard is trying to harass me in the middle of the night?"
"Ling Qiao!"
Chen Da woke up with a start and looked at his phone in disbelief. Wow, it really is the CEO. His boss, Chen Da immediately went soft and said, "Haha, CEO, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"Give me Shen Xiaoxuan's number."
Chen Da was stunned again.
"Faster!"
"Oh, oh."
With Shen Xiaoxuan's number, Ling Qiao immediately dialed it. Shen Xiaoxuan also grumbled, sleepily muttering, "Who is it!"
"I'm Ling Qiao. Is Shu Shu with you?"
Shen Xiaoxuan opened her eyes and saw that her phone was an unfamiliar number. Was it really Ling Qiao? No, she asked, "Which Ling Qiao are you?"
"Ling Bai Group's President, Ling Qiao! I asked you if Shu Shu is with you?! " His tone was not very good. Were they a bunch of deaf or brain-damaged people?!
Even though they were separated by the phone, Shen Xiaoxuan was still frightened by his imposing aura and blurted out, "No."
"Do you know where she is?"
"It's so late. I must be at home." Just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of her phone being cut off. She was extremely puzzled. Why was Ling Qiao looking for Shu Shu so late at night?
Ling Qiao's face darkened. When he was angry and did not say anything, anyone who saw him would involuntarily feel a sense of fear. Even the boss of the bar would feel cowardly.
"Let's go!" He said this to Deng Zijun before turning around and walking out of the bar.
It was at this moment that the reporter, who was hiding not too far away, picked up his camera, aimed it at Ling Qiao and shot a few shots.
He was angry to begin with, and having not slept for the entire night, his mood became even more irritable. When Ling Qiao saw that he still had the face to return, he felt like killing!
ShuShu saw his expression and did not dare to go in. She wanted to retreat, but was immediately grabbed by the neck. She immediately made a detour. "Aoao, be gentler. It will break!" If it wasn't her fault, then she would argue for it. If it was her fault, then she wouldn't have the slightest bit of backbone.
ShuShu was carried inside like a small chicken, "Where did you go last night?" Ling Qiao was indeed Ling Qiao, and he flew into a rage, "You actually lied to me, you sure are bold!"
"Little Xuan and I are going to watch a movie. We're going to watch Harry Potter's midnight premiere."
"You actually dared to lie to me. You were clearly not with Shen Xiaoxuan, I asked her."
"I'm the one who asked her not to tell you. Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask her again." ShuShu pointed at the door.
Following her finger, he saw Shen Xiaoxuan standing at the doorway. She smiled at him and greeted him: "Hello, CEO Ling."
Ling Qiao restrained his temper. He did not want to settle the internal conflict within his family in front of outsiders. He let go of Shu Shu without forgetting to glare at her, his hands covering his back.
Shu Shu nodded at Little Xuan, then walked forward and explained, "I accompanied you to the hospital for so many days that I was about to suffocate. I also don't want to miss the Harry Potter movie premiere, I had an appointment with Little Xuan a long time ago. I know you won't let me go to the movies on leave. "
Stupid thing, you knew I wouldn't agree? Am I that domineering? Even if you were bored in the hospital, I would be bored too. You said that you want to see me accompany you to see, you stinky thing. Don't think that I will forgive you!
"You also know that Little Xuan's schedule is tight, but she still found the time. How can I not make an appointment when I have nothing to do?"
Being with me isn't a problem? Taking care of her husband isn't a problem?!
"I thought you'd be relieved if I told you that I was with my colleagues. You know Su Man. Who knew that you would really go to the XX Bar. I was just casually saying it."
Alright, I'm very easy to play!
"I was afraid you would call me and I would be found out, so I just turned it off. I was right there when you called Little Xuan. When I saw that it was your number, I made Little Xuan say that she wasn't with me. It really was like that. "If you don't believe me, ask Little Xuan …"
Shen Xiaoxuan immediately replied, "Yes, it's really like this. After watching the movie, Shu Shu followed me back, and it wasn't until I woke up from watching TV that I found out you were being secretly filmed. We really did not expect you to go to XX bar, we really did not expect to be photographed by reporters. "
Shu Shu is so grateful, luckily we still have a sister like Little Xuan, otherwise she would be dead for sure.
Ling Qiao took a deep breath. He didn't care so much about being secretly filmed. He was really worried about her, and was even angry that she had lied to him just to watch a movie. Was he that unreasonable?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, ShuShu spoke up in an apologetic tone, "Ling Qiao, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I will explain this to Grandma and Mom and Dad."
