The doctors and nurses left with the red envelopes, leaving only Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe in the ward.
Lin Qingtong casually pulled out the largest red envelope and handed it to Shen Tinghe, saying, "This is yours, thank you for your cooperation."
Her aloof and polite demeanor stung Shen Tinghe's eyes. He slowly approached but did not accept the red envelope.
Shen Tinghe approached with one hand in his pocket, his tall figure exuding a sense of oppression.
"Let me see your divorce certificate."
Lin Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then stuffed the red envelope into Shen Tinghe's arms before taking out the divorce certificate to show him.
"Look carefully, I'm a single person from now on, and I'm no longer a member of the Jiang family."
When Shen Tinghe's gaze fell upon the divorce certificate, a dark and cold ripple brewed in his eyes, and his voice became extremely hoarse.
"So what are you implying?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong cautiously withdrew her divorce certificate, staring intently at Shen Tinghe, and reached out to stop him from getting any closer.
"Wait, don't overthink it, I'm just sharing my joy."
Lin Qingtong's gaze then fell on the direction of the ward door. Seeing Luo Susu appear, she hurriedly reminded Shen Tinghe.
"Mr. Shen, someone has arrived. Also, your business is finished, so please leave as soon as possible."
Her tone was icy, clearly indicating that she was telling him to get out.
Shen Tinghe's dark pupils grew colder as he stared intently at Lin Qingtong, emanating a palpable sense of oppression.
"Aren't you afraid I'll expose everything you've done before? The young mistress of the Jiang family and the ninth master of the Shen family..."
At this moment, Luo Susu had already stepped into the room and was looking at Lin Qingtong, but she hadn't even heard what the two of them were saying yet.
Lin Qingtong immediately covered Shen Tinghe's mouth and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Shen Tinghe, don't go too far!"
Luo Susu stood there, unsure whether to approach or leave.
Shen Tinghe grabbed Lin Qingtong's slender wrist and glanced coldly at Luo Susu.
"go out."
His gaze was so intense that Luo Susu instinctively obeyed, quickly turning around and leaving the ward, closing the door behind her.
Shen Tinghe turned his head and forcefully pulled Lin Qingtong over, his eyes dark and cold.
"Now, can we talk properly?"
Lin Qingtong raised her hand to try to break free, but the other person's arm was as strong as steel and could not be moved.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
Shen Tinghe slowly brushed his slender fingers across Lin Qingtong's cheek, a half-smile playing on his thin lips.
I want you—
He paused, then abruptly changed the subject.
"Pretending to be my girlfriend for three months".
Lin Qingtong frowned. "Impossible. Pretending won't work either. Don't you have a fiancée? Isn't Sister Xinlan good enough?"
Shen Tinghe's eyes held a chilling coldness that Lin Qingtong couldn't fathom, and he slowly uttered a sentence.
"It's because of her."
Lin Qingtong was completely confused until she heard Shen Tinghe's explanation.
"Huo Xinlan has a lover who doesn't want to marry me. He secretly travels and has all sorts of dealings with him, completely unaware of my existence."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Tinghe, "You mean you want me to help you act out a scene to get revenge on Huo Xinlan?"
Shen Tinghe remained silent, only staring at Lin Qingtong with a dark and dangerous look in his eyes.
After a long while, Shen Tinghe finally presented his conditions one by one.
"As long as you cooperate with me, I can give you any amount of money and resources you want."
"Think about it, when Jiang Hao sees you again, he'll have to call you 'Little Aunt'..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingtong had already imagined the scene, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Just imagining that scene is really exhilarating.
Moreover, Shen Tinghe offered generous terms, and the offer was only for a short period of three months.
Three months is enough time for her to completely build a business empire of her own.
She was never a soft, delicate woman who only cared about love; she was a rose that would seize any opportunity to climb ever higher, determined to bloom brilliantly at the very top and amaze the world.
But Lin Qingtong didn't agree immediately, only smiling and saying, "I need time to think about it."
Shen Tinghe then released Lin Qingtong, staring at her with a half-smile.
Lin Qingtong was already tempted, so there was no need for him to say anything more; it was just a matter of time.
"I'll give you three days to think it over. Three days from now, the Shen Group will be hosting a party, and people from all walks of life will be there, including the Jiang family."
Shen Tinghe left with a single sentence, his posture elegant and aloof as he turned and departed.
Lin Qingtong raised her chin slightly, her red lips curving into a confident smile.
She would definitely not let this opportunity slip by.
...
That afternoon, news circulated online that Lin Qingtong had fallen into a coma again, suspected to be due to the pressure of cancer.
It didn't cause a huge uproar online, but it did stir up a storm within the industry, with many people calling Jiang Hao to find out the truth.
In the end, all Jiang Hao got was a series of sighs.
"I didn't want to tell anyone about this, but I don't want to keep it from you either."
Now, many people are already itching to act. Lin Qingtong's serious illness means that many people will have to switch sides and replan their strategies.
No one seemed concerned about Lin Qingtong's current situation.
Night fell over the hospital. A black car stopped, and Qi Huimin, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, followed Cao Kui as they secretly entered Lin Qingtong's ward.
Only a dim light was lit in the ward, and the medical equipment kept beeping.
When Qi Huimin opened the door, she deliberately asked, "Sister, are you alright? I've come to see you."
But all I got was the beeping of the machine.
Qi Huimin then went to Lin Qingtong's ward, reached out and ran her hand over her tightly closed eyes, and then pushed her a few times.
After confirming that Lin Qingtong was unconscious, she stood up straight, her eyebrows and eyes full of smugness.
"So you've finally met your match, Lin Qingtong."
Qi Huimin's sharp nails traced across Lin Qingtong's porcelain-like skin as she spoke viciously.
"Do you know how awful you are? I just joined the company, and you're already showing off your designer clothes in front of me, just to prove you're superior to me, aren't you?"
"You were still showing off your love in front of me, and you deliberately made me deliver documents to your house, but in the end, didn't your husband still get seduced by me?"
"And you, in the end, still fell into my hands. It's true that he hired that driver, but he was too cowardly and only dared to hurt you. I'm different; I want to give you a direct escape."
She reached out to Cao Kui to the side, took a vial of medicine, and waved it in front of the light.
"Today, I will give you a release. This is an euthanasia drug from abroad. After it is injected, you will be able to ascend to the land of bliss."
Qi Huimin slowly approached the IV drip with the medicine in her hand, carefully injecting the blue medicine into it, which gradually spread and diffused.
Her expression grew increasingly crazed as she leaned closer, trying to observe Lin Qingtong's dying expression.
The next second, Lin Qingtong suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with chilling coldness.
