Fortunately, Mr. Zhong is alright.

When he woke up the next day, Rong Shang had gone out to buy porridge.

Shen Liunian stayed by his bedside.

It took Mr. Zhong a while to recover from seeing him.

He moved slightly, and Shen Liunian quickly got up to help him.

"uncle."

"It's you." Mr. Zhong smiled faintly. "Thank you for your help."

"Uncle, you're too kind."

Zhong Xia's father is also his father, so it's only right that he takes care of him while he's in the hospital.

He helped him up and sat down, and Shen Liunian tucked the blanket around him before sitting down beside him.

Mr. Zhong had a headache, so he raised his hand to touch his head and felt a throbbing pain in the back of his head.

"Child, where is Zhong Xia?"

He suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and his expression became complicated.

Shen Liunian didn't know what had happened, but he looked preoccupied.

He replied, "Zhong Xia went out to buy porridge."

He was supposed to buy it.

But she felt sorry for him because he hadn't slept all night, so she wouldn't let him go out and insisted that he rest his head on the table for a while.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Shen Liunian's expression suddenly changed as he spoke.

He saw Zhong's father bowing his head and wiping away tears.

He frowned, then stood up again. "Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'll go find a doctor right now."

The man was about to leave after speaking, and his eager appearance made Mr. Zhong feel heartbroken.

"No," he stopped him. "I'm fine."

He was just thinking about the past.

During this period, he always had nightmares whenever he lay down.

Sometimes I think, if only time could go back.

A family of three sometimes having little arguments is fine too.

"Liu Nian, please sit down first."

Wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes.

Mr. Zhong sniffed and looked up at the young man beside him.

After a long pause, he smiled and asked, "Liu Nian, what do you think of us Zhong Xia people?"

"Her?" Shen Liunian was somewhat surprised. "She's very good."

I don't understand, why would anyone ask that question?

"I think Zhong Xia is very kind and filial."

"She is very kind to the people around her and is very polite."

When Shen Liunian was evaluating Zhong Xia, Zhong's father kept nodding.

It was clear that he agreed with everything Shen Liunian said.

Actually, those past twenty-odd years...

In the eyes of his relatives, Zhong Xia has always been a well-behaved and sensible child.

But……

Shen Liunian noticed that he was frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Why are this father and daughter always so secretive?

He frowned as he thought to himself.

"Uncle, please tell me what's wrong."

"I..." How should he put it?

If what Boss Huang said is true, then why would he tell Shen Liunian that his daughter is such a ruthless and unscrupulous person?

That's simply impossible.

Shake head.

Zhong's father leaned his head back.

He didn't want to talk about it, so he closed his eyes and waited a while before asking, "What time is it now?"

Shen Liunian glanced at his wristwatch. "It's 9:30."

"Call Zhong Xia and ask her to come back," Zhong's father said, his voice still somewhat weak. "I have something to say to her."

...

Ten minutes later, Rong Shang returned to the hospital.

As soon as she entered the ward, Shen Liunian was called out.

When he came out, he noticed that Zhong's father looked at her with a somewhat cold gaze.

He was afraid there might be some misunderstanding between the father and daughter.

He didn't dare go far and waited in the corridor outside the door.

Not long after, he heard Zhong's father's furious voice.

How could you do this?

"Zhong Xia, have you lost your conscience?"

Did you get scolded?

Shen Liunian's expression darkened, and he subconsciously stepped forward.

When I arrived at the ward door, before I even pushed it open, I heard her say calmly, "I didn't."
