Amidst the chaos, the wealthy woman was lifted into an ambulance and taken to the emergency room.
The wealthy woman's assistant and secretary also hurriedly followed the doctor out.
For a moment, footsteps were chaotic and the crowd was in a panic.
Xia Chuyue couldn't offer any help, so she could only return to Chen Zhuo's ward for the time being.
"Chuyue is back? Someone came to see you."
Before Xia Chuyue even entered the ward, she heard Chen's mother shouting.
She was about to nod in agreement when she looked up and met Pei Qi's gaze, who was leaning against the bed with his arms crossed.
Pei Qi seemed to have just come from a meeting; his hair was combed back, revealing sharp, cold eyes and brows.
He leaned against the window, the light behind him casting a long shadow.
Xia Chuyue was surprised that it was Pei Qi who came to find her. She paused for a moment, then nodded and greeted him.
"Pei Qi, what are you doing here?"
Pei Qi straightened up, pursed his lips, and glanced at Shen Zhuo lying on the hospital bed out of the corner of his eye.
"They came to visit my company's employees."
Xia Chuyue looked at Shen Zhuo with a puzzled expression, then exclaimed "Eh!" and quickly flipped through the gossip section.
[So the company that Shen Zhuo secretly contacted for cooperation was actually owned by Pei Qi?!]
[Wait a minute, when did Pei Qi start a company?!]
"It opened not long ago."
Hearing Pei Qi's slightly cool voice, Xia Chuyue realized that she had accidentally blurted out her complaint.
"I see. So, what did Aunt Chen say about you coming to see me?"
Pei Qi's ears turned slightly red upon hearing Xia Chuyue's words, and he coughed lightly.
"You misunderstood, I didn't come here specifically to see you."
Xia Chuyue almost laughed out of exasperation at the young master's hypocrisy.
Otherwise, why would Xia Chuyue avoid Pei Qi after graduation? This young master can be so arrogant that it's almost unbearable.
"Just tell me you're coming to see me."
Pei Qi was slightly annoyed and pursed his lips. "I didn't come here to see you!"
Xia Chuyue was too lazy to argue with him and replied, "Yes, yes, young master, you are right."
She sat down, took out her phone, and checked her recent schedule.
Pei Qi felt a pang of disappointment when he saw that Xia Chuyue was ignoring him.
Pei Qi has been in meetings these past few days; there's a ton of work to do since the new company was established.
But ever since he met Xia Chuyue at the banquet, he has been unable to let go of her.
Of course, he wouldn't come all the way to see her.
It just so happened that one of his newly partnered employees was hospitalized, and as the boss, Pei Qi felt it was only natural to visit him in the hospital.
Pei Qi turned his head and saw Xia Chuyue sitting in a chair, her profile shadowed by the sunlight, looking beautiful and serene.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, and his sharp, cold eyes melted as the sunlight fell into them.
Xia Chuyue noticed the gaze behind her and couldn't help but turn around to look.
Pei Qi's handsome and serene face, bathed in light, resembled an oil painting.
Xia Chuyue's heart, which had never felt a throbbing before, suddenly trembled slightly.
However, Xia Chuyue quickly blinked and looked away.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't check her phone's schedule for a long time.
Until Shen Zhuo spoke up in desperation.
"You two, that's enough! Can't you see there's a single guy here?"
Pei Qi abruptly pulled his gaze away from Xia Chuyue, feeling as if he had been burned, and almost jumped up from the spot.
"What nonsense are you talking about! We're not..."
"We're not in that kind of relationship."
Xia Chuyue denied it first, but her tone was calmer.
Pei Qi's neck, which had been red, gradually cooled down in response to her attitude.
Unsure of what was causing his disappointment and distress, Pei Qi lowered his head and clenched his hands.
Just as Pei Qi was feeling distressed, the ward door was pushed open forcefully.
"Xia Xinxin?"
Looking at Xia Xinxin, who was wiping away tears with a wronged expression, and Xie Yuanping beside her, Xia Chuyue couldn't help but speak up.
"What do you want from me?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xinxin covered her face and began to sob, looking utterly pitiful.
Xie Yuanping seemed to be furious; several veins bulged on his neck, his anger rising.
"Xia Chuyue! What kind of older sister are you?! Xinxin is being bullied like this, and you just stand by and watch?"
Xie Yuanping was recently stabbed in the back by Shen Hao, losing not only a capable ally but also a lot of connections.
There are already rumors circulating in the company that he is incompetent and that he only got to where he is today because of the Xia family's help.
She even said that if Xie Yuanping was just a live-in son-in-law with poor abilities and a bad personality, she really didn't know how a goddess like Xia Yao could have fallen for him.
These words hit Xie Yuanping's sore spots.
He angrily berated all the gossipy people, only to receive a warning from Xia Yan as soon as he turned around.
As the head of the Xia Group, Xia Yan never cared about family ties when she was working, and she gave Xie Yuanping a good scolding.
Xie Yuanping felt that his dignity, which he had maintained for so many years, had been ripped off and trampled on.
He had never been so humiliated since joining the Xia Group!
All of this is thanks to that treacherous villain, Shen Hao!
He smashed a lot of things in a frenzy, thinking of confronting Li Ling about what had gotten into Shen Hao and why he had suddenly betrayed him, but then he heard the news that Li Ling was hospitalized.
Xie Yuanping was selfish and indifferent; he hadn't vented his anger, so naturally he wouldn't come to the hospital to see Li Ling.
During this time, Xie Yuanping has been cleaning up his mess at the company and thinking about how to make up for the losses he has recently suffered.
Before I could figure out what to do, Xia Xinxin called me in tears.
Being beaten by a rich woman in front of so many people at the hospital was too humiliating, so Xia Xinxin transferred all her anger onto Xia Chuyue, who was watching the show.
Li Ling had been hiding well in the hospital, so how could she suddenly be found?
It must have been Xia Chuyue who told them!
She deliberately misled the rich woman into thinking that her mother was a mistress, and then came to the hospital to embarrass the mother and daughter!
Hearing his beloved daughter's tearful complaint, Xie Yuanping's pent-up anger was instantly ignited.
The women of the Xia family are inherently incompatible with themselves!
A woman like Xia Yan should stay at home, be a good wife and mother, not be the president of a company.
He even publicly berated himself for being incompetent in front of so many people!
The Xia Group will be finished sooner or later if it's in the hands of a daughter like that!
The beginning of summer is even more infuriating!
As a junior, he always has a cold face and shows no respect for his father whatsoever!
Xie Yuanping was furious and had his driver rush to the hospital to support Xia Xinxin.
Xia Xinxin wiped away her tears, and through her blurry vision, she saw Pei Qi standing behind Xia Chuyue.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her lips curved into a smile.
Today she's determined to show Pei Qi just how vicious Xia Chuyue is!
"Sister, Mom is doing well in the hospital. Why are you framing her? She's not in good health. What if she suffers long-term health problems after being beaten like that by that rich woman?"
Hearing Xia Xinxin's words, Xia Chuyue felt completely bewildered.
"Are you sick? What nonsense are you spouting?"
