"It's my fault, I didn't plan well for you, Aqi, I'm sorry... Give me a little more time, I'll definitely think of a new way for you, okay?"
"We still have a chance, we still have a chance, let's think of something, Aunt Rong..."
Last night's events can all be blamed on Li Shuhui; it was her doing, regardless of Xiang Qi's involvement, which can be explained. However, without Jiang Anqing as leverage, they have no idea what Xiang Jin will say to slander Xiang Qi, leaving them in a very passive position.
Moreover, how can Xiang Qi get close to Murong Xiao?
Without finding an opportunity to make contact, everything is just empty talk.
"Think quickly..."
"Okay, okay, let me think..." Li Shuhui's mind raced, but she was too confused to come up with any good ideas.
Xiang Qi simply sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, a scene that Xiang Deming happened to witness when he returned home.
"Look at the state of you, the daughter of the Xiang family! You've ruined yourself for Murong Xiao, making yourself look like a ghost. You've even dragged the Xiang family down with you. How can you be so shameless!" Because Xiang Qi was attacked online, the reputation of the Xiang Group was also affected.
Today, the shareholders called him, subtly and overtly telling him to keep his family in check and not to tarnish the reputation of the Xiang family.
Although Xiangshi is the actual operator of Xiangshi Group, the opinions of the shareholders are equally important, and he cannot ignore them.
"This isn't my fault, it's all that bitch Xiang Jin's fault..."
"Slap—" Xiang Deming slapped Xiang Jin across the face. "I've been too lenient with you, which has made you so unruly. What 'slut'? She's your sister, the boss's wife of Fengrong, and the wife of the Murong family. Even if you had some disagreements before, you should get along well for the sake of the Murong family."
"She's not! It was me who was originally going to marry into the Murong family! It was me! You replaced me, you ruined my life's happiness, you have to take responsibility!"
Xiangqi screamed hysterically.
Xiang Deming sighed: "I wish it was you who married into the family..." After all, Xiang Qi was her biological daughter, and through her marriage to the Murong family, his Xiang Group would be more stable.
But that opportunity is no longer available.
He dared not offend Murong Xiao, so for now he could only try to please Xiang Jin and choose to get along with her. The best way was to find an opportunity to apologize to her and ask her to forgive their past actions. In this way, the family could live in harmony and the Murong family could be used by him.
That's why he hit Xiang Qi, hoping she could see the current situation clearly.
"Dad, please help me, please help me. Ask Murong Xiao to come out and meet me. He will definitely forgive me. He clearly likes me..." Xiang Qi cried as she spoke.
Xiang Deming had a terrible headache.
“Aqi, there’s more than one man in the world, understand? Your Uncle Ji’s eldest son is coming back to the country soon. Let’s arrange for you two to meet. If it’s a good match, our two families can arrange a marriage between you and him.”
Uncle Ji, which Uncle Ji?
Xiang Qi thought for a long time before she remembered, and then shook her head like a rattle drum: "Dad, how could you marry me off to him? His family has nothing. How can such a family be worthy of me, Dad!"
Ji Xiangyang's family has nothing. They sold everything they owned to send him abroad. Now his parents are old and frail, and they can only rely on him. What future can he have? Besides, Xiang Jin married Murong Xiao. If she were to marry Ji Xiangyang, wouldn't she be far inferior to Xiang Jin?
She couldn't bear the thought of living a worse life than Xiang Jin.
Li Shuhui also stepped in: "Xiang Deming, you not only won't help your daughter, but you also want to marry her off to curry favor with the Murong family. Let me tell you, no way! Our Aqi is the one who is worthy of Murong Xiao."
"Would Murong Xiao want her?" Xiang Deming asked in return, and now it was the mother and daughter's turn to fall silent.
"Anyway, I'm going to marry Murong Xiao. You can figure it out yourselves!" Xiang Qi stood up from the sofa and stormed out the door.
…………
Xiang Jin has been in the hospital for the past two days.
Murong Xiao invited experts to consult on Jiang Anqing's condition, and a treatment plan was to be finalized today. After discussion, the experts decided on conservative treatment. They decided to perform heart surgery first, and then, once the heart condition stabilized, a kidney transplant would be performed if a suitable donor became available.
The current difficulty lies in finding a kidney donor. Although the Murong family has mobilized all its connections to search for one, this is something that can only be obtained by chance.
Xiang Jin understood that she was not forcing him.
After attending the consultation meeting, Xiang Jin felt very heavy-hearted. Fortunately, Bai Ningshuang returned and stayed by her side, chattering away, which eased her mood considerably.
"Shuangshuang is such a good girl. I feel relieved to have a friend like you by Ajin's side." Jiang Anqing looked at Bai Ningshuang with a look of relief. Then she added, "It would be even better if Ajin and Aqi could get along so well."
That one sentence caused a sudden silence in the ward.
Xiang Jin didn't say anything, but silently poured water for Jiang Anqing.
Bai Ningshuang didn't say anything either, because she was unhappy about mentioning Xiang Jin.
"I was just saying, I didn't mean anything by it." Jiang Anqing realized that he had misspoke and looked a little embarrassed. "I have been in the Xiang family for so many years. The Xiang family has been kind to you by raising you. Besides, Aqi is not a bad child, just a little willful. We who are halfway to the grave don't have many days left to live. We are counting on you to take care of each other so that I can rest assured."
Jiang Anqing spoke earnestly, seemingly genuinely wanting what was best for Xiang Jin.
"Don't worry, Aunt Jiang. With me here, no one will dare to bully Ajin. Besides, there's also Master Xiao. Who would dare to go against him?"
"Yes, I've been worrying... As her mother, I spend too little time with Ajin, and I'm always anxious." As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
Xiang Jin quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
After saying some words to cheer up the old man, the atmosphere in the ward returned to normal.
After Jiang Anqing fell asleep, Xiang Jin and Bai Ningshuang left the ward.
As soon as she came out, she ran into Sun Yanqing, who was at the door of a ward not far away, discussing the patient's condition with several doctors. When he heard Xiang Jin's voice, he turned around and his gaze unconsciously fell on Bai Ningshuang.
They looked at each other and their eyes met.
The next moment, the two of them looked away in perfect unison.
"You've come to see Aunt Jiang again? She's been doing alright lately, so don't worry." Sun Yanqing was one of the experts treating Jiang Anqing and had privately helped Xiang Jin a lot.
"Hmm..." Xiang Jin's mood became heavy again when she thought about the kidney transplant.
"There will always be a way, don't think too much about it."
Xiang Jin nodded.
"Oh right, I left something in the ward and forgot to get it. Shuangshuang, wait for me for a moment." Without waiting for Bai Ningshuang's reply, Xiang Jin quickly fled back to the ward.
The situation suddenly became somewhat awkward, and the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
