A seemingly dangerous gaze fell on Lin Qingtong's profile. She swallowed hard and hurriedly stepped back to explain.
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle."
She then shot a cold look at Jiang Hao.
This person will do anything to get investment.
They're worse than animals.
Lin Qingtong's slender fingers rested on her arm, directly rejecting Shen Tinghe's words.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I can't leave my company."
Shen Tinghe's indifferent gaze fell on Jiang Hao, and he spoke with interest.
"What should I do? My nephew's wife doesn't agree. I'll think about the investment again."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately became anxious and pulled her outside.
"Uncle, let me persuade her. You should rest first."
Shen Tinghe replied slowly and deliberately, "It's alright, I can give you half a day to consider it."
Stepping outside the office, Jiang Hao glared coldly at Lin Qingtong and flung her hand away.
"Didn't you promise to cooperate with my investments? What, you don't want a divorce anymore?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong rubbed her wrist, her expression turning extremely cold.
"I only agreed to cooperate with your investment, but I didn't agree to you going to be by Shen Tinghe's side. Aren't you afraid he might do something to me?"
She wasn't stupid. If she really went to Shen Tinghe's side, given how badly they had fallen out before, he definitely wouldn't let her off the hook.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your uncle isn't that kind of person. His fiancée is a hundred times better than you. And even if your uncle did do something, it would be an honor for you."
Jiang Hao said these words while pressing his back teeth together, a dark look flashing in his eyes.
His last sentence meant that at worst, Shen Tinghe would give him a hug, which was equivalent to Lin Qingtong's usual social interactions at drinking parties.
Anyway, that's how she usually talks about collaborations. If she can get an investment of over 100 million in return, then it's not a loss.
Moreover, he didn't think his uncle would be interested in Lin Qingtong, who couldn't have children.
Hearing Jiang Hao's shameless words, Lin Qingtong was so angry that she laughed and pushed him away.
"You really have no shame."
Jiang Hao's expression darkened, and he coldly retorted, "Are you going or not?"
Lin Qingtong stared silently at Jiang Hao before her, then uttered a sarcastic remark.
"I'm not going."
Jiang Hao was immediately enraged and embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something more, both of their cell phones rang at the same time.
Lin Qingtong glanced at her phone; it was a call from her mother, Su Wanjun.
As soon as the call connected, Lin Yan, the father, said a cold, curt sentence on the other end.
"Lin Qingtong, look what you've done! Your mother has fainted from anger! Get your ass to the hospital right now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong's heart leaped with joy. How could her mother have fainted? There was no divorce involved...
Suddenly, her gaze shot towards Jiang Hao in front of her, and her aura surged as she approached.
"You told my mom?!"
Jiang Hao was also on the phone, nodding with a gloomy expression before hanging up to answer.
"Your mother is useless. My mother just said a few words and she fainted from anger. No wonder you can't have children. You probably inherited it from your mother!"
In that instant, Lin Qingtong felt as if a bloody hole had been ripped into her heart.
She raised her hand and slapped Jiang Hao across the face, her expression so dark it was almost dripping with water.
"Jiang Hao, let me tell you, if anything happens to my mother, your Jiang family won't have an easy time!"
Lin Qingtong left after saying that, and started walking out. She needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
With a loud crash, a torrential downpour began, trees were blown down, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road.
Lin Qingtong braved the wind and rain to walk to the roadside. She originally planned to drive, but Jiang Hao had already driven away, so she had no choice but to come to the roadside to hail a taxi.
The wind and rain blew against Lin Qingtong, as if trying to lift her into the sky.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Tinghe stood with one hand in his pocket, his gaze growing even colder.
"Qi Song, arrange a car to take her to the hospital."
...
Hospital.
Lin Qingtong, soaking wet, stepped into the ward and saw her mother, Su Wanjun, lying unconscious on the bed. She swallowed hard and slowly approached.
"mom……"
She had just called out when Su Wanjun slowly woke up, reached out her hand to Lin Qingtong, and weakly said something.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
When Lin Qingtong leaned closer, she finally heard what Su Wanjun was saying.
"No, you can't get a divorce..."
In that instant, Lin Qingtong's heart sank, swirling and falling like a leaf.
She didn't feel wronged or sad when facing Jiang Hao's family.
But one sentence from her mother completely extinguished the stubbornness she had been holding in.
Overwhelmed with grievances, she bit her lip and lowered her eyes, remaining silent.
Worried that something had happened to her mother, she rushed to the hospital without hesitation, but her first words weren't about whether she was being wronged, but rather...
Don't get a divorce!
The storm outside continues, much like Lin Qingtong's current situation: isolated, helpless, and besieged on all sides.
Father Lin Yan stood to the side with disdain and scolded, "The Jiang family is such a good family, how could you want a divorce? You and your mother are both infertile. You're lucky that any man is willing to want you, what are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, you absolutely cannot get a divorce! Even if you die, you'll die in the Jiang family!"
Before Lin Qingtong could react, Jiang Hao walked in unharmed, holding a contract in his hand, and handed it to Lin Yan with an indifferent expression.
"Father-in-law, please sign your name."
Lin Yan took the contract and quickly signed his name, then sneered and looked at Lin Qingtong.
"The company has grown so much in recent years, do you think you're all grown up now? Did you get that? It belongs to the Jiang family. From now on, you don't need to go to the company anymore. Wait until that child is born. Stay home and take good care of your husband and child!"
