Chapter 555 He Regretted It
Compared to Qiao Hong, Cao Yun appeared unusually calm. She didn't even glance at Qiao Hong, but reached out and pressed the call bell, "Doctor, bed 26 is awake."
The doctor arrived quickly. He gave Qiao Hong a brief examination and then told Cao Yun, "He's recovering very well. Apart from these external injuries, everything else is healing well. He should be fine after a few more days of observation."
"Thank you, doctor."
After Cao Yun finished speaking with the doctor, he paused and suddenly asked the doctor, "By the way, doctor, how is the lady who was brought in with him?"
Qiao Hong recognized that Cao Yun was talking about Xu Meimei and immediately looked at the doctor.
Cao Yun saw the tension in his expression and sneered inwardly.
The nurse had already told Xu Meimei about her condition yesterday. The reason she asked again was to let Qiao Hong hear it.
The doctor sighed regretfully and said, "Her injuries are quite serious, especially her face. She was cut by several pieces of glass, and the wounds are quite deep. Even if she heals, she will probably be left with scars."
This means that the person has been disfigured.
Qiao Hong stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.
At the same time, I felt very sorry.
Putting everything else aside, Xu Meimei is quite a beauty; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hook up with Qiao Hong so easily.
But after feeling regretful, Qiao Hong also felt a sense of relief.
After this incident, Qiao Hongcai realized that perhaps only Cao Yuncai would choose to stay by his side in times like this.
The biggest problem between the two was Xu Meimei.
Now that Xu Meimei's face is ruined, he has a reason to break off his relationship with her.
Cao Yun glanced at Qiao Hong and gave a silent, cold laugh.
Judging from his expression, he's probably feeling sorry for that little bitch.
The doctor had just left when Mr. Qian arrived.
He was carrying a fruit basket when he entered the ward and was taken aback when he saw Cao Yun there.
Qiao Hong's affair is common knowledge throughout the company. As his wife, Cao Yun couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Shouldn't she have divorced Qiao Hong? Why is she still taking care of him?
When Qiao Hong saw that President Qian had arrived, he was flattered and felt as if his injuries had been healed by more than half. "President Qian, what brings you here... Please... Please have a seat!"
He had just woken up and was still having difficulty speaking. Mr. Qian put down the fruit basket and said, "I couldn't get through to you when I called you. I asked around the company and found out that something had happened to you, so I came to check on you."
Qiao Hong knew he didn't have that much influence to make President Qian come to the hospital to see him, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "President Qian, if there are any problems with the project, you can just tell me directly."
Mr. Qian smiled, looking quite troubled, but his words were anything but polite. "Originally, we were going to wait until you recovered before discussing this, but I was too anxious. We've already finalized a preliminary plan, but S&C hasn't made any moves. Our people have contacted them many times, but haven't received a definite answer. This can't go on like this. Don't you think we should finalize the preliminary plan as soon as possible? Otherwise, I'm really worried!"
Mr. Qian was anxious, and Qiao Hong was naturally anxious too. Mr. Qian had not only invested a lot of money in this cooperation, but all departments of the company had also placed this project in a primary position.
Therefore, Qiao Hong was under more pressure than anyone else.
However, since Qin Ce had given him a reply, he believed that someone of Qin Ce's status would not break his word.
So Qiao Hong assured President Qian, "Don't worry, President Qian, I'll follow up as soon as my injury heals."
"Good, good, good!" President Qian patted Qiao Hong on the shoulder. "I'm relieved to hear you say that!"
While they were talking, Cao Yun stood by the window, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.
However, not a single word of President Qian's words reached Cao Yun's ears. Her mind stirred slightly, but her expression remained calm, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
"Then I won't disturb your rest. Take good care of yourself; our company still needs you."
Mr. Qian stood up to leave, but after glancing at Cao Yun, he seemed to remember something and said to Qiao Hong with a veiled meaning, "Look at how badly you're injured, and your wife is still taking care of you without holding a grudge. You'd better treat her well in the future and not do anything bad again!"
Although his words sounded nice, they weren't at all in Cao Yun's defense.
Qiao Hong is now arguably the most important person in the entire project, and he doesn't want him to let these personal matters interfere with the company's business.
Previously, Xu Meimei had already caused him a lot of trouble and distracted him.
Cao Yun and Xu Meimei are not on the same level at all. If Cao Yun makes a scene, his company will probably suffer as a result.
Qiao Hong understood the meaning behind his words. He paused for a moment, then glanced at Cao Yun and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, I will definitely treat her well!"
As soon as Mr. Qian left, Cao Yun didn't want to stay any longer. But who knew that as soon as she turned around, Qiao Hong struggled to sit up in bed and grabbed Cao Yun's arm.
"Xiaoyun, everything I did before was wrong. I'm not a good man! I deserve to die! I shouldn't have asked you for a divorce, Xiaoyun, please forgive me for the sake of our two children..."
He now realizes how foolish it was to ask Cao Yun for a divorce.
Although they can no longer pretend nothing happened as before, Cao Yun will not cause trouble for her every few days like Xu Meimei did.
Although Xu Meimei was beautiful, and he enjoyed the thrill of being sneaky, after this experience, he truly realized that Cao Yun was the one he needed most.
His tone was sincere, his eyes were red, and a few tears fell down his cheeks. His face was full of regret.
But for Cao Yun, his tears were no different from the dirty water dripping from the eaves.
Of course she knew why Qiao Hong apologized and why he regretted it.
He grew tired of the flowers outside, but when he turned around, he found that the potted plant at home was the one that caught his eye the most.
But no matter how sincere he was, or how full of remorse he was, Cao Yun's heart remained completely unmoved.
If she believed Qiao Hong could turn back, then she would be the most foolish person in the world.
After all, a leopard can't change its spots.
Cao Yun stood still, and Qiao Hong, seeing this, raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Cao Yun then turned to look at him, "What are you doing?"
"Xiaoyun, I was wrong about everything I did before. I was blinded by greed and did those things. I'm sorry to you, to the children, and to all that you've done for this family. But I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once, just this once, okay..."
