It was already evening when Su Xiaoxiao saw the news about the three members of the Su family break out.
She sat quietly on the edge of the bed watching the news, her overly calm face showing not a trace of emotion.
In fact, it was impossible to discern her emotions at that moment.
"Su Xiaoxiao, if you're unhappy, just say so. Why are you putting on such a cold face?" Shan Jiaxi touched her neck and sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Nangong Yi had some urgent business to attend to at the conglomerate, and since he was worried about leaving Su Xiaoxiao alone in the hospital bed, he "dragged" himself in to entertain his little wife.
Ironically, he, the victim, didn't even have the right to say no.
Who told those people in the family to have nothing better to do than stir up trouble in the Su family's mess?
Putting aside the failed construction bid, just dealing with those two news stories about Su Taihong's family was enough to annoy him.
If Nangong Yi hadn't mentioned it before leaving, he would have almost thought that his older brother was blaming the Shan family for Su Xiaoxiao's illness again.
His phone is switched off now, and he can't be bothered to see his family at all.
Every time they angered their older brother, they would hide behind him and drag him out to be cannon fodder.
"Su Xiaoxiao, if Nangong sees you like this, he'll think I've done something to you!"
"Go ahead and leave if you want, I don't want to see you."
After putting down her phone, Su Xiaoxiao gave him a big eye roll without any politeness.
Dan Jiaxi's lips twitched involuntarily. He was determined not to leave the hospital tonight.
Even if his family knew he was hiding here, with Nangong Yi's people guarding the ward, he could definitely have some peace and quiet.
"Su Xiaoxiao, let's make peace."
After much deliberation, Shan Jiaxi felt that this was the wisest decision.
This way, he could not only freely and safely enter and leave Nangong Yi's house, but also quickly extricate himself from the mess at home.
Yes, that's how it should be!
The more Shan Jiaxi thought about it, the more he felt this was the best solution. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't react, he quickly pressed on, "Every time you confront me like this, Nangong is actually caught in the middle and it's very difficult for him, don't you think?"
"Shan Jiaxi, what kind of mischief are you up to now?"
Su Xiaoxiao wasn't so easily fooled. When he inexplicably said he wanted to get along peacefully with her, she felt there was a big problem.
She stared at Shan Jiaxi with suspicion, a very dubious thought suddenly flashing through her mind.
"Shan Jiaxi, have you gotten into trouble again?"
"How could I possibly cause trouble?"
Shan Jiaxi felt that Su Xiaoxiao's sixth sense was terrifying. Fortunately, he wasn't the one who did the bad thing, but being stared at by Su Xiaoxiao like that, he felt that he could no longer hide it.
At that moment, he stood up from beside the hospital bed, cleared his throat, and said earnestly, "Su Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry!"
"You...you took the wrong medicine?"
Shan Jiaxi's earnest apology made Su Xiaoxiao feel very uncomfortable, and she swallowed back the words she had originally planned to say to him.
Seeing the other person's overly serious expression, her brows immediately furrowed.
"Shan Jiaxi, what are you up to?"
“Su Xiaoxiao, those two scandals involving the Su family were quelled by my father through secret arrangements; I also bear responsibility for the Shan Group's interference in the bidding process. This ‘I’m sorry’ is something our Shan family owes you.”
"This... has nothing to do with you."
Su Xiaoxiao was used to being confrontational with Shan Jiaxi, so she was a little at a loss when he apologized to her so politely.
