The ward was so quiet that only the sound of the machines could be heard. Helian Rui looked at the two people on the bed with a gloomy face.
Suddenly, Mrs. Dong seemed to remember something and looked at the man on the sofa hesitantly, with an expression of forbearance as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What do you want to say?" How could Helian Rui, who had watched the woman grow up, not see her expression?
After hearing this, the woman hesitated for a while before politely asking about the content of the previous phone call. "Foster father, I heard that you found a marriage for Xu'er?"
Helian Rui had been prepared to prevaricate, thinking the woman had something difficult to say. However, when he heard the words clearly, he was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would be mentioned at this time. However, he still replied in a deep voice: "Well, the other party is a branch of the A Country A family. Their influence in the dark can help me. Letting Chen Xu marry into them will only make it easier to control their power."
Helian Rui spoke frankly without reservation, which made Mrs. Dong speechless for a moment.
Before the woman could digest the news, Helian Rui's expression darkened noticeably. He glanced at the still unconscious man with displeasure and said in a mocking tone, "What? Chen Xu is not happy?"
Seeing that Chen Xu was misunderstood so easily, Mrs. Dong quickly interrupted him.
"No, Xu'er doesn't know about this yet, but is this the only way for Godfather to get what you want by sacrificing Xu'er's happiness?"
"Sacrifice? I gave him power and influence; how can that be considered a sacrifice?"
Faced with the woman's aggressive questioning, Helian Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with his arrangement. He still looked like a savior and responded coldly.
How could Mrs. Dong, who grew up with Helian Rui, not know about men's methods and actions? Maybe she thought of the shyness when Chen Xu mentioned that he wanted to invite Su Yu at the celebration banquet that day, or she wanted to fight for something for Chen Xu. After all, she had lived her life in a daze and fear under the arrangements of men. She didn't want to watch her grown-up child live this life like this, so she gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage, and sounded a little anxious.
"But Xu'er already has someone he likes!"
"Oh? Which girl is she? How could she have such a family background as the one I arranged for her?"
After hearing this, Helian Rui still didn't care and didn't really want to reconsider the arrangement of this matter.
"It's the CEO of AX Group—Su Yu!"
The man frowned upon hearing the familiar name. He was aware of the recent uproar over the cooperation between the Dong family and AX, and he also knew something about AX's global status. However, he had previously thought that Chen Xu had just stumbled upon this good fortune and had not inquired too much. But now that he heard the news, he was a little hesitant.
"Are you sure she'll be interested in Chen Xu?"
Mrs. Dong was shocked by the man's words. She knew that Helian Rui had always had a lukewarm attitude towards Chen Xu, but this sentence clearly showed that he looked down on Chen Xu. As the "mother" who had watched Chen Xu grow up, Mrs. Dong felt indignant for Chen Xu from the bottom of her heart. She asked in a tone of annoyance:
"Godfather, what do you mean by this? Is your own grandson so unbearable in your eyes?"
Facing the questioning, Helian Rui became a little uncertain. If the other party was not AX Group, he would not be shaken. But now Lillian's side is just a branch of Spyker in Country A, and there are still many changes in its future direction. However, Su Yu's AX Group's global status is almost unshakable. This may be the first time that Helian Rui began to deny his decision and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the stubbornness in Helian Rui's eyes showed some signs of wavering, Mrs. Dong took advantage of the situation and recounted what happened before the car accident in an even more exaggerated way. In her mouth, the whole process became that Su Yu invited Chen Xu and Dong Siqing to go on vacation to Qingquan Mountain together on the day of the banquet. On the one hand, it was to celebrate the successful cooperation between the two groups, and on the other hand, she felt that Chen Xu had worked hard on the project before, so they should relax together. She even described Dong Siqing, who was rushing to curry favor with Su Yu, as the girl next door that Su Yu liked at first sight.
This amazing operation shocked the people in the monitoring ward. They didn't know whether they should praise Mrs. Dong's imagination or observe a moment of silence for her when she learned the truth in the future.
After the woman's eloquent narration, Helian Rui's face showed a rare look of relief. His goal had been achieved. Mrs. Dong stopped talking at the right time, and replaced it with an embarrassed look. "Foster father, can you really bear to separate these two people who are so in love? Besides, the power behind Su Yu is not to be underestimated, right?"
She understood what Helian Rui cared about most, which was to help him return to a status that everyone envied and possess a wealth that no one else could match. He didn't care who it was, as long as he achieved his goal.
"Well, let's not mention this matter to Chen Xu for now. I hope he won't disappoint me like his father did!" After a moment of contemplation, Helian Rui still succumbed to power, but he still subtly warned Mrs. Dong in front of him.
Whenever Mrs. Dong mentioned Chen Zirong, she felt unspeakable pain in her heart. She once thought that he was the best and most gentle man in the world, but under Helian Rui's "training", he became so ruthless and resolute. She really didn't want Chen Xu to become like his father in the future. He was so positive at first, but slowly she found that the man was becoming more and more contrary to her ideal, whether under the influence of hatred or because of his nature. But she still chose to follow him with all her heart. Even after Chen Zirong died in the fire, she did not escape but took over the task from Helian Rui and continued to move forward.
