Thirty years.
Since college, Su Manyun has watched Shi Zhengyang gradually become a feared Shura in the business world.
She once naively thought that as long as she waited patiently, one day she would be able to receive this man's gentle treatment.
But the appearance of Tao Nianwan completely shattered her dream.
"Nian Wan is really... so lucky."
Su Manyun forced a smile, but her voice couldn't stop shaking, "Zhengyang even ignored the Shi Group just to be with you?"
Tao Nianwan then slowly turned her head and looked at her former best friend calmly.
"Yes, after all..."
She gently stroked the wedding ring on her ring finger with her fingertips. "Some people try their best but still can't get what they want. But for me, it's just ordinary."
Shi Zhengyang's face turned cold and he glanced at Su Manyun with a sharp warning.
He intertwined his slender fingers with Tao Nianwan's, "I've lived enough for my family in the first half of my life. For the rest of my life, I just want to love you well."
"What will we do then?"
Tao Nianwan looked up at him, with a glint in his eyes.
Shi Zhengyang chuckled and leaned over to kiss her forehead.
"Even if the sky falls, it's not as important as you."
Su Manyun stood frozen in place, her carefully applied makeup unable to conceal her pale face.
She stared at the two people's clasped hands, and her eyes finally fell on Tao Nianwan's wrist.
What she is wearing there is a jade bracelet that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Shi family, symbolizing the supreme status of the hostess.
And her son...
The "bargaining chip" that she obtained through all means has not yet been recognized by Shi Zhengyang.
Suddenly, Shi Zhengfeng rushed forward and grabbed Shi Zhengyang by the collar.
"Brother! Do you really want to kill them all?"
His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, "I have sacrificed so much for the Shi family!"
Shi Zhengyang coldly pushed his hand away, "You're the one who has cut off your path."
At this moment, Mrs. Shi suddenly shook and her face turned pale.
"mom!"
Four voices sounded at the same time.
Shi Zhengyang was the first to rush forward and firmly supported his mother's shaky body.
Tao Nianwan followed closely behind, skillfully reaching his fingers into the old lady's pocket and quickly taking out a fast-acting heart pill.
"Are you okay? Do you want to call the family doctor?"
Shi Zhengyang's voice was unusually flustered.
Only then did he realize that his mother's wrist was so thin that he could feel the protruding joints.
The old lady waved her hand and swallowed the pill with Tao Nianwan's hand, "It's an old ailment, it's nothing serious..."
Suddenly, she grabbed her eldest son's tie tightly, the veins on the back of her skinny hand bulging, "Zhengyang, this is my last wish in this life..."
Before she could finish her words, the old lady suddenly started coughing violently, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto Shi Zhengyang's snow-white shirt, which was so dazzling that it was terrifying.
“Call an ambulance!”
Shi Zhengyang growled and picked up his mother horizontally.
Tao Nianwan had already taken out his cell phone and quickly dialed the emergency number.
Shi Zhengfeng stood there in a daze, and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
"Mom! It's all my fault..."
He cried bitterly, but no one paid any attention to him.
…
Kangrui Hospital VIP ward.
Shi Heng sat on the edge of the bed, gently combing Gu Youran's hair with his slender fingers.
Her face was still a little pale, but her clear eyes had regained their spirit and were looking at him eagerly.
"Mr. Shi, these documents..."
Assistant Qin stood at the door holding a stack of contracts waiting to be signed.
Before he could finish his words, Shi Heng's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and pressed the speakerphone button directly, "Speak."
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Lin from Shenghui insists on meeting you. He said the terms of the new project must be finalized today..."
"Let him wait."
Shi Heng interrupted decisively, but his eyes remained gently on Gu Youran's face.
"Send the urgent documents to the hospital and postpone everything else."
The person on the other end of the phone clearly hesitated, "But today's schedule is already full..."
"Do you need me to say it again?" Shi Heng's voice lowered slightly.
Gu Youran couldn't help but tug at his sleeve and whispered, "I'm really fine now, go ahead and get busy."
Shi Heng lowered his eyes to look at her, and gently pinched her cheek with his fingertips, "No, I want to watch you complete the full examination."
Gu Youran puffed out his cheeks and muttered softly, "Domineering..."
Shi Heng chuckled softly, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "If I hear the word 'it's okay' again, I'll have the hospital issue you a one-month hospital stay."
Gu Youran: “…”
Assistant Qin placed the contract carefully on the coffee table. As he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a shocking scene out of the corner of his eye.
Mr. Shi, who has always been decisive and resolute, is now kneeling on one knee beside the bed, carefully holding his wife's feet and putting slippers on her.
Assistant Qin was so startled that he staggered and almost sprained his ankle. He hurriedly closed the door and retreated.
"Ah Heng!"
Gu Youran hurriedly tried to pull her foot back, her fair cheeks flushed, "I'm just unconscious, my leg isn't injured..."
"Don't move."
Shi Heng's palm firmly grasped her slender ankle, and his eyes darkened when he fell on the light pink scar.
He suddenly lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on the scar.
"Every minute you were unconscious," he said, his eyes filled with mixed emotions as he raised his head, "I owe you that."
In the examination room.
Gu Youran tried to protest for the Nth time, "The doctor said I just need to rest for a few days..."
"ECG, brain CT, whole-body MRI."
Shi Heng took the checklist and checked off the items one by one. Suddenly, the pen stopped and said, "Add gynecology."
