Nie Han looked around and, seeing that Nie Jiayu was not there, asked Chen Rou, "Where's Ayu? Did she go home?"
Chen Rou smiled but didn't say anything. The bodyguard, Zeng, who was closest to her, turned around and said, "Miss, Young Master Yu is in the Chairman's ward."
Nie Han suddenly became a little nervous because her two younger brothers, Nie Jiayu and Nie Jiajun, were both a bit of a scoundrel. When Chen Rou participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, she was ridiculed by the media all over Hong Kong, and they felt ashamed and were very unhappy with her. Now, Song Yuanchao has come along, and it's hard to say where he came from. Nie Han was afraid that her brother had gone to tell their grandfather.
She tiptoed to the door of Nie Rong's ward. As soon as she got close and pricked up her ears, she heard a crisp clattering sound from inside, followed by her grandfather's low but penetrating snort.
Nie Han, of course, was wholeheartedly on Chen Rou's side. Upon hearing this, she shuddered, turned around and ran back to Chen Rou, saying, "Mother, as the saying goes, whether you're right or wrong, the one who complains first is right. Go and explain Song Ge's matter to my grandfather. He's throwing a tantrum in the hospital room."
Song Yuanchao ran around for a long time last night. After all, he was from a military background. In Kowloon, he was like a nobody. But it was different in Central, especially after he arrived at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. Although he climbed all the way to the top floor of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital and even found Chen Rou by following the ventilation duct, he still admired the security of the Nie family after wandering around for a long time.
Moreover, he had already heard of the Nie family on his way here and knew their status in Hong Kong.
Hearing that Nie Rong was throwing a tantrum, he felt uneasy and stepped forward, volunteering, "Miss Chen, let me go with you to see Old Man Nie. He can ask me anything he wants, as long as it doesn't involve my former unit, I'll tell him everything."
The eight bodyguards in the corridor all glanced sideways, their eyes fixed on Chen Rou.
Just now, the security team leader, Mei Baoshan, arrived. He is the maternal uncle of Second Master Mei Yao and the younger brother of Second Madam Mei Lu. Moreover, he has another connection with Nie Rong. More than 20 years ago in Macau, Nie Rong was assassinated by a Macau tycoon because of business matters and almost perished in a fire. It was Mei Baoshan who carried him out of the fire.
Therefore, Mei Baoshan can be considered Nie Rong's savior.
As for Chen Rou, even though she had already registered her marriage with Nie Zhao and was the head of the Nie family, her attitude towards Mei Baoshan just now was too rude, domineering, and arrogant. Moreover, she changed the security chief without Nie Rong's consent, which was too far-fetched and unbelievable. She was simply challenging Nie Rong's authority and trying to seize power from Nie Rong.
The bodyguards don't use their brains; even a fool could figure out that Nie Rong would never agree to that.
They also felt that if Chen Rou really wanted to keep Song Yuanchao, she should take the initiative to see Nie Rong and bow down to him.
Bodyguard Zeng anticipated that Chen Rou would enter Nie Rong's ward and was ready to open the door.
But Chen Rou was just as domineering and arrogant as she was when she met Mei Baoshan. She turned around, sat down in a chair, crossed her legs, and said, "I am the mistress of the Nie family. I don't need to ask anyone for permission to appoint or dismiss security personnel."
At her words, all the bodyguards in the corridor fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Nie Han was also stunned, and stammered, "Little Mother, this is not good!"
Song Yuanchao felt that Chen Rou had gone a bit too far, and he asked nervously, "Miss Chen, are you considered the person in charge of the Nie family?"
If Chen Rou was once so docile and inconspicuous in the Nie family, she is now just as arrogant and haughty. She sat on the door of the intensive care unit, in front of her new husband's ward, crossed one leg, put her hands on her chest, raised an eyebrow, and her bright eyes swept over all the bodyguards, asking rhetorically, "What do you all think?"
If she's the person in charge of the Nie family, then she's practically seizing power from Nie Rong. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
Not to mention that the bodyguards' eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, Nie Han's heart was about to leap out of her chest.
She had grown accustomed to Chen Rou's drastic change in temperament, and she preferred the current Chen Rou to her.
But Nie Han was terrified that Chen Rou wanted to seize power from her grandfather, because the grandfather she knew was an extremely suspicious old man who loved power. She was afraid that her grandfather would turn against her if Chen Rou did this rashly.
The corridor fell silent for a moment. Everyone was on edge, listening intently to the sounds coming from Nie Rong's ward. Of course, they were also very curious to know how Nie Rong would handle the situation when his young, newly married daughter-in-law was making a big show of seizing power, and how the Nie family's affairs would change.
Chen Rou, however, remained calm and composed.
Next to the intensive care unit was the nurses' duty room. She went into the duty room and said softly to the two nurses on duty, "You two go out and get some late-night snacks. I need to talk to someone about some personal matters here."
The entire private ward area was booked by the Nie family. Since the head of the Nie family wanted to discuss business, the nurses naturally left.
Song Yuanchao followed in. He was new and confused, but he still had to ask Chen Rou, "Is everything alright?"
Chen Rou, who had been gazing out the window at the bustling traffic with her arms crossed, turned around. Her slender yet alert figure, her beautiful but domineering face adorned with a charming smile, said, "How could nothing be wrong? Not only is something wrong, but something big is about to happen. Comrade Yuanchao, although we met by chance, we are friends in adversity. In the face of this great event, you are the only person I can trust. You have to help me."
Song Yuanchao was still completely confused, but Chen Rou was right. They were friends in adversity, and they had to help each other if they could.
The thief readily reached for the gun at his waist and uttered two words: "Okay!"
...
Separated by a wall, on the other side was Nie Rong's hospital room.
In the ward, everyone from the butler to the security captain and secretaries was dressed in well-tailored black suits and stood in neat rows. Nie Rong, however, was wearing a dark purple silk nightgown and a matching eye mask.
