Chapter 629: No Mercy
The servant sighed, "Her family refuses to come. Tell me what tests are needed, doctor, and I'll take her there."
The doctor frowned and said, "That won't work. Some things still require the family to be present. You continue to contact her family and have them come to my office to see me when they arrive."
…
Near noon, the servant went to Chi's house to find Chi Zhen.
Seeing her, Chi Zhen frowned and said coldly: "Why are you running here instead of taking care of Xu Rou at home?!"
"Sir, my wife fainted last night. The doctor said further examination is needed and the family needs to be present. Please go over there."
Hearing this, Chi Zhen's face turned extremely cold. "Can't you see I'm busy?! Besides, how can I afford to check her out now? Let the doctor prescribe some medicine and take her back. Also, you don't have to come starting tomorrow."
The servant's expression turned extremely ugly, and he quickly asked, "What about the medical expenses I paid for Madam?"
"Go ask her for it. I don't have any money, and I'm very busy. Please leave now."
After saying this, he didn't give the servant a chance to speak and directly asked the secretary to kick him out.
The servant was not stupid. Knowing that he could not get the money, he immediately went back to the hospital to arrange for Xu Rou to be discharged.
After returning to the villa, when Xu Rou woke up, he said with a stern face, "Madam, I've prepared dinner. Please remember to eat it later. Also, I've been fired by Mr. Chi today. Please pay me the medical expenses I paid for you today together with my previous salary."
When Xu Rou woke up this time, she wasn't as excited as before. She said calmly, "I don't have any money right now. I'll use my jewelry to pay for it."
She only has a few hundred dollars left in her card now, not even enough for medical expenses.
The servant knew that she was really in trouble and nodded in agreement.
After giving the servant her only remaining set of gold jewelry, Xu Rou let her leave.
Before leaving, the servant couldn't help but advise, "Madam, no matter what difficulties you encounter, they will pass one day. Take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Xu Rou looked at her, smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you."
In the past, Xu Rou always looked down on the servants who took care of her and never treated them as equals.
But it was this person who sent her to the hospital when she fainted and comforted her when she was most sad.
Thinking about the past few decades, they have really been wasted...
After she was the only one left in the villa, Xu Rou walked to the dining table, sat down, and ate dinner calmly.
After dinner, Xu Rou threw away the leftovers, slowly washed and dried the dishes, then poured a glass of water and carried it upstairs.
The room was dark and she didn't turn on the light, so her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
…
Xiao Muzhen heard the news of Xu Rou's suicide on the morning of the third day.
Although Xun Zi didn't like Xu Rou, she never expected that she would commit suicide.
"Zhenzhen... before you and Shi Yiheng got engaged, Xu Rou came... She stood at the door and didn't go in. She even asked me to bring you something, but I refused... I didn't expect her to..."
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.
"Um."
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have rejected her that day."
Xiao Muzhen looked up and saw the guilt in Xun Zi's eyes. She couldn't help but frowned, "Mom, this is none of your business. And even if you give it to me, I won't take it. She and I are just strangers now."
Xun Zi hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Then...are you going to attend her funeral?"
"No." Xiao Muzhen's expression was indifferent, and there was no sadness in his eyes.
To be honest, she didn't feel anything about Xu Rou's death.
Even if she really regretted it during this last period of time and really wanted to make amends, Xiao Muzhen could not forgive her.
The damage had already been done, and she couldn't pretend it never happened.
Xun Zi sighed and didn't try to persuade her.
After all, what Xu Rou did is indeed not worthy of forgiveness.
"Mom, I have to take Yiheng to work later, so I'm going out now."
"good."
After Xiao Muzhen met Shi Yiheng, he drove to Shi's.
Along the way, Shi Yiheng seemed to be hesitant to speak.
It wasn't until the car stopped downstairs of Shi's building that Xiao Muzhen looked at Shi Yiheng, "What do you want to say?"
Shi Yiheng pursed his lips and said, "Zhenzhen, I express my condolences for Aunt Xu's passing."
Xiao Muzhen's expression was calm. "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing that she really didn't seem to care, Shi Yiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
Xiao Muzhen didn't want to continue this topic, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Let me take you upstairs."
As Shi Yiheng walked into the company, he heard two employees not far away discussing Xu Rou's death.
"Have you heard? The funeral of Chi Zhen, the president of Chi Corporation, was very simple. Chi Zhen didn't even attend the whole thing. He just gave some money to someone else to take care of it."
"For a wealthy family like theirs, there's no such thing as true love."
"Isn't our CEO engaged to Xiao Muzhen? Knowing that her biological mother had died, Xiao Muzhen didn't even attend the wedding. How cruel!"
"I guess he's clinging to the Xiao and Shi families and looking down on his own biological mother. Didn't they make headlines before because of their disagreement?"
"Yes, yes, yes... Anyway, I think Xiao Muzhen is not worthy of President Shi..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yiheng's cold voice sounded behind him.
"Does it seem noble to talk about others behind their backs? If you don't know what she's been through, just shut up!"
The two were startled and turned around to see Shi Yiheng and Xiao Muzhen just a few steps behind them, their faces turned pale.
"Shi... Mr. Shi, I'm sorry! We didn't mean to do that. Please forgive us this time..."
Shi Yiheng's expression was icy. "You are fired. Go up and pack your things and leave."
Hearing this, their faces became even uglier, but when they met Shi Yiheng's cold gaze, they couldn't utter a word to beg for mercy.
It wasn't until they entered the elevator that Xiao Muzhen spoke: "I have to say, you're quite intimidating when you're aggressive now."
Shi Yiheng turned to look at her and said coldly, "If you ever hear anyone gossiping in front of you, tell me. I won't let him go!"
Seeing the anger still on his face, Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Alright, haven't you already fired him? Isn't this punishment enough?"
"That's what they deserve!"
Shi Yiheng has always been ruthless to women other than Xiao Muzhen.
"Don't be angry. If you get mad later, I still have to take care of you. Don't you have a big cooperation to discuss today?"
"No matter how big the cooperation is, it is not as important as you."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Why didn't she realize before that Shi Yiheng was so good at saying sweet words?
