Chapter 269: Coma
"No." Li Beiting picked up the glass of red wine and said in a low voice, "It's just that I'm a little greedy and want to try it."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yao to react, he tilted his head back and took a sip from the rim of the cup.
When Jiang Yao looked up in surprise, she just saw his Adam's apple rolling.
The place where the thin lips touched was exactly where the lipstick was stained.
A surge of hot blood rushed to her brain and her whole face became hot.
"you--"
"Hmm?" Li Beiting slowly put down his wine glass, a tender smile glittering in his deep eyes. "This is the best and sweetest wine I've ever tasted."
Jiang Yao: "..."
This guy was clearly trying to seduce her on purpose.
The means have become more sophisticated!
Jiang Yao wasn't fooled and said calmly, "Really? I think the taste is pretty average."
Li Beiting was not discouraged. He handed the wine glass to her lips and said, "How about you try it again? Maybe it will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste."
“No need!”
Jiang Yao stood up, as if unaffected by him, and pushed his shoulder as they walked out. "Now that you're done washing, go back to your room and rest. I still have a novel to finish, so don't disturb me while I'm working on it."
Until he pushed the person out the door.
Just as he was about to close the door, Jiang Yao seemed to have thought of something and looked him up and down.
"I forgot to mention that you have a great figure. Keep it up."
He said these words carelessly and without giving Li Beiting time to react, he closed the door.
Li Beiting was left standing there in a daze for several seconds before he realized that he was being teased back.
You really refuse to admit defeat!
A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he turned back to his room in a happy mood.
…
That night, Jiang Yao had a very long dream.
In the dream, the man’s sexy figure and seductive words kept echoing in my ears.
When she woke up the next day, she looked dazed for a moment and silently covered her cheeks.
After getting up and washing up, when Jiang Yao came out, Li Beiting was already dressed.
The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened last night and went to the restaurant to have breakfast together.
"What are your plans for today?" Li Beiting asked her.
Jiang Yao originally wanted to contact Shu Ya and ask about the situation there.
As a result, at this time, several WeChat messages came in, all from Shu Ya.
Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
She quickly clicked it to check, and her expression suddenly changed after a moment.
"What happened?" Li Beiting asked sharply.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath, "Aunt Shu attempted suicide but failed. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and is still unconscious."
She stood up and picked up her bag, "Let's go to the hospital!"
Li Beiting also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he left the hotel with her and rushed to the hospital.
Jiang Yao walked in according to the ward number Shu Ya sent her, and heard crying coming from inside.
Listening carefully, it didn't seem to be Shu Ya's voice.
She carefully pushed open the door of the ward and went in. She saw Zhuang Xian leaning against the bed, looking at Shu Ping who was unconscious on the bed, crying inconsolably.
"Pingping, how could you be so stupid... You can't abandon me. What are you going to do with Xiaoya and me in the future?"
Jiang Yao frowned, ignored the other person, and walked straight to the window side of the ward.
Shu Ya was standing there quietly at this moment, her face pale and her expression a little dull, as if she had suffered a huge blow and couldn't even cry.
Jiang Yao walked forward distressedly, put his hand on her shoulder, and said gently: "Yaya, don't be sad, auntie is a lucky person, she will be fine, she will definitely wake up."
Shu Ya's voice was a little dry and hoarse. "The doctor said that if I don't wake up within 24 hours, I might be at risk of becoming a vegetable."
Zhuang Xian seemed to be even more heartbroken after hearing these words.
"It's all my fault. I didn't realize Pingping was under so much pressure at work. Carrying so much on her own led her to suffer from severe depression. If I had noticed it earlier and shared her burden, perhaps I could have prevented this."
"Uncle, don't blame yourself anymore. Auntie definitely doesn't want you to suffer like this for her."
Zhuang Yao, who was standing beside him, put his hand on his shoulder, as if to give him strength and support.
"No, I would rather bear all this for her than see the situation like today!" Zhuang Xian was heartbroken.
Zhuang Yao immediately comforted him, "Uncle, you must hold on. If you collapse, what will happen to the company? It's Aunt's decades of hard work! Are you going to watch it go to waste?"
Jiang Yao watched the two of them perform for a long time, and finally got to the point.
"Yes."
Zhuang Xian seemed to have finally recovered from his shock and murmured, "The Shu family is Pingping's life's work. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands. But I'm just a teacher. I don't know much about the group's projects or company operations."
He then thought of something, and his eyes suddenly fell on Zhuang Yao, with a glint of hope in his eyes, "Ayao, you helped Pingping a lot in the company before, and you are very familiar with the company's business conditions.
Pingping has always told me that she trusts you. How about you support the company until she wakes up? Okay?"
"Me?" Zhuang Yao immediately showed an overwhelmed look, "Uncle, how can I..."
He wanted to pretend to refuse, but finally pretended to accept it helplessly.
At this moment, Shu Ya, who had been standing silently in front of the French window, spoke up, "Leave the company's affairs to me."
The expression on Zhuang Yao's face almost couldn't be held tight.
Zhuang Xian was also surprised, but then turned to heartache and said, "Xiaoya, after what you've experienced, your mother really needs your company. You don't have to force yourself. Uncle knows you're not interested in company management..."
Before he could finish his words of persuasion, Shu Ya insisted, "Uncle Zhuang, you don't have to say any more! I promised Mom that I would take over the family business for her. Now that she's in trouble, I have no choice but to take care of her."
"Besides, I'm already an adult. I have no right to act willfully when my mother is in trouble. Even for her, I can't just sit there and do nothing.
My mother certainly wouldn't want me to cry every day by her bedside, so I have to cheer up."
Her attitude was firm and there was no flaw in her words.
If he firmly denies it now, it will make his motives appear impure.
Besides, her surname is Shu after all, and she is the recognized heir of the Shu family.
He could only settle for the next best thing, "Then let A Yao help you. You are not familiar with the company's business yet. Having a helper around will also help you take care of it. After all, we are all relatives."
Shu Ya also knew that it was impossible to completely refuse. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhuang. Please take care of me in the future."
The position of president that was within his grasp just missed him.
Although Zhuang Yao was extremely reluctant, he could only force a smile and say, "Miss Yaya, please take care of me. Just call me A Yao from now on."
