They arrived in Hong Kong at noon. Dong Siyue couldn't leave, so Secretary Wang picked them up from the airport. Strangely, they didn't go to the hospital, but instead went to a private villa in the suburbs. Li Hongming's private medical team was there, on call 24/7.
"Why not go to the hospital? They have better facilities there," Ye Qingqing asked curiously.
The skill level of private medical teams is beyond doubt, but their equipment is definitely not comparable to that of large hospitals. Good equipment can sometimes really race against death, which is why Ye Qingqing found it strange.
Secretary Wang explained with a wry smile, "A chairman is already lying in the hospital; even the reporters here don't know about it."
Ye Qingqing was surprised. What happened?
"The chairman lying in the hospital is a wax figure, in the intensive care unit. No one is allowed to visit him; only his attending physician knows," Secretary Wang said.
Ye Qingqing understood somewhat, "To guard against Madam Li and the others?"
"Yes, the doctor told Madam and the others that the chairman was in a deep coma but had a high chance of waking up. However, Madam and the others asked the doctor to remove the life support, even forged a will, and stole my phone to send Miss Dong the false news that the chairman had passed away."
Secretary Wang shook his head as he spoke. He had been working with Li Hongming since he graduated from university, rising from a regular assistant to Li Hongming's special assistant. After more than 20 years of working together, their relationship had transcended that of ordinary superiors and subordinates. He really couldn't understand the actions of Mrs. Li and their three children.
The chairman has been extremely kind to them. One million a month is enough to live a very comfortable life in any country in the world. If he had such a good father, he would definitely treat his father like an ancestor.
But Mrs. Li and her three children were not satisfied and wanted company shares. But they didn't consider whether they were capable of managing the company well.
In the chairman's hands, the company was a cash cow; in their hands, the company would go bankrupt in less than six months. The chairman thought long and hard before making this arrangement, but these people did not appreciate it and even plotted to harm the chairman.
It's true that time reveals true character. The chairman is surrounded by wolves and tigers, all wanting a piece of the pie. Only Ms. Dong genuinely wants the chairman to get better. He used to think that Ms. Dong was also after money, but he was wrong.
Ye Qingqing shook her head as she listened, saying it was like a spy movie. No wonder Li Hongming sought solace outside; that Mrs. Li and her three children were no pushovers.
However, she, as an outsider, couldn't understand such family matters; only the parties involved truly knew. Moreover, as Dong Siyue's friend, she was naturally on the opposite side from Madam Li.
Regardless of the circumstances, Madam Li's attempt to murder her husband was indeed excessive.
This family is such a mess. Ye Qingqing was overwhelmed just listening to it. Many girls try their best to marry into a wealthy family, but they don't realize that life in a wealthy family is not so easy.
The water is very deep; you could easily drown if you're not careful. It's better to be content and marry a man of equal social standing, at least then you won't live a life of constant anxiety and compromise.
Dong Siyue was waiting for her at the door. She seemed to be in good spirits, at least not as lost as she had been on the mountaintop. Now she seemed to have a sense of direction, although she had lost some weight and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Miss Dong takes care of him at night, and he only gets a short nap during the day," Secretary Wang said in a low voice.
During the day, he and the nurses took care of him, while Dong Siyue was alone at night. When she was tired, she would lie down by the bed for a nap. She basically didn't sleep at all until dawn. In the past few days, Li Hongming's spirits have improved a lot, thanks to Dong Siyue's careful care.
