After regaining his composure, Ling Mo suddenly remembered Liang Feifan, who was lying in Renhe Hospital, and casually asked:
"Liang Feifan's sudden paralysis, could it be that Ouyang Bin is secretly behind it?"
"I will not choose anyone else but him," Qin Beiming said firmly.
"But what is Ouyang Bin's purpose in doing this? Is it simply to ruin your reputation?"
"His main objective is to seize the development rights for the Zhonghai area project. In the past, he might not have been so desperate. But now, he absolutely cannot stand by and watch the Qin and Zhan families grow closer. If he doesn't take action, the business empire he has painstakingly built over the years could very well be gradually divided up again."
"Then...did Jiang Yao participate in this? On the day of the engagement banquet, Liang Feifan seemed to have hit her. When she came out of the lounge, her cheeks were slightly swollen and her eyes were red. She didn't seem to be in a good state. If Liang Feifan really did resort to violence, how could Jiang Yao, who was pampered since childhood, have tolerated it?" Ling Mo frowned and raised his doubts.
In her view, a rich young lady like Jiang Yao, who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, would never accept her fate so easily.
“No wonder Dad always says you’re more insightful than Bi Gan; your observation skills are truly exceptional.” Qin Beiming nodded and then said, “Jiang Yao was definitely involved in Liang Feifan’s paralysis. Her goal was simple: to keep Liang Feifan in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, so that she wouldn’t have to worry about him abusing her again.”
“Since it’s Jiang Yao, this matter will be much easier to handle.”
"Hmm. Ah Ting still refuses to return to the Huo family and wants to start from scratch, which is fraught with difficulties. I plan to directly register this bidding project under the name of Wanxing Industrial Co., Ltd., which he established not long ago."
"It seems that Ouyang Bin is going to lose again this time."
Ling Mo raised his lips, already anticipating Ouyang Bin's irritable state after losing the China Overseas project.
Ouyang Bin, who is incapable of love and does not understand love, naively believes that by transforming Xuan Wei into Shi Ying's appearance, he can completely bewitch Zhan Hanjue.
Similarly, he thought Jiang Yao would be a perfect ally, but he overlooked Jiang Yao's obsession with Huo Yunting.
...
Renhe Hospital
Jiang Yao, along with Liang's father and mother, stayed by Liang Feifan's bedside all night.
Upon learning that Liang Feifan's legs were completely ruined, Jiang Yao suppressed her overwhelming joy, deliberately furrowing her brows as she pretended to hold a bowl of steaming rice porridge, her voice choked with emotion as she said:
"Feifan, eat something first. The doctor said there's still hope, so you mustn't give up on yourself."
"Yaoyao is right."
Mother Liang nodded and also urged Liang Feifan, "Eat something first. After you've filled your stomachs, we can settle accounts with Madam Qin slowly."
"Get out, don't bother me."
Liang Feifan stared blankly at the ceiling for a long while before finally snapping out of his utter despair.
He glanced with disgust at Jiang Yao, who was putting on an act beside him, then shifted his gaze to Liang's father's face, which seemed to have aged dramatically overnight, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Has Qin Beiming been captured?"
"Qin Beiming has done terrible things, he will definitely be punished." In order to appease Liang Feifan, Liang's father avoided mentioning that Qin Beiming had already been released without charge last night, and instead spoke evasively.
"Retribution? What do you mean? Does that mean he's caused me so much trouble, and no one has been able to convict him?"
Liang Feifan stiffened his neck, and the veins on his jawline bulged as he was about to burst forth with anger.
The next moment, he angrily raised his hand and knocked the steaming rice porridge out of Jiang Yao's hand with a "bang".
"ah..."
Jiang Yao screamed in pain as she was scalded by the boiling rice porridge.
In her panic, she accidentally spilled the rice porridge onto the blanket covering Liang Feifan, which displeased Liang's mother.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Jiang Yao concealed her scalded hand behind her back without showing any emotion, and kept apologizing to Liang Feifan.
"Not on purpose? I think you did it on purpose. Now that I'm a cripple, how could a fickle woman like you possibly stay obediently by my bedside? If I'm not mistaken, your whole heart has already flown to Huo Yunting!"
Liang Feifan's eyes were sinister, his dark pupils filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity, as if he wanted to devour Jiang Yao alive, making people afraid to look at him.
"I..."
Jiang Yao was fed up with Liang Feifan's volatile temper. She originally wanted to walk away, but she was worried that Liang Feifan would become suspicious of her, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger and step aside, gently wiping the back of her hand that had been burned red with a wet wipe.
"Feifan, how can you speak like that? Since your accident, Yaoyao has been staying by your bedside without sleeping a wink. It's too disheartening for you to talk to her like that."
Liang's father knew that with Liang Feifan's current circumstances, it was nothing short of a pipe dream to find a woman of equal social standing to be his wife.
That's why he was afraid that Jiang Yao would ask the Liang family to annul the engagement at this critical juncture, so he naturally couldn't let Liang Feifan speak ill of her.
Liang Feifan had no feelings for Jiang Yao to begin with; he wished she would disappear from his sight immediately. He refused to follow his father's line of thought and instead blamed him:
"Dad, how can you be so confused? Even now, can't you see what this woman is thinking? She's hoping I die soon so she can be with Huo Yunting."
"Yaoyao's heart is entirely with you, so don't talk nonsense."
Father Liang glanced at Jiang Yao, who remained silent beside him, and quickly changed the subject, saying in a serious tone:
