Hospital.
Zhao Rong and Qiao Xuejing were both worried that Qiao Weiyu would find a good expert to heal Qiao Xiangrong's injuries.
Once they arrived at the hospital, they realized they had been overthinking things.
The hospital had no way to treat Qiao Xiangrong.
After the surgery, the attending physician shook his head at Qiao Weiyu, saying that Qiao Xiangrong's life had been saved, but due to heart and lung problems, he might have to rely on a ventilator for the rest of his life. Perhaps when medical technology improves in the future, there might be a chance to cure him.
That's a lifelong commitment.
Qiao Xiangrong is essentially finished.
Qiao Weiyu walked out in a daze, and Zhao Rong and Qiao Xuejing came up to him: "How are you? What did the doctor say? Is Xiang Rong alright?"
Zhao Rong's face clearly showed concern and anxiety.
Qiao Weiyu shook her head, a look of pain flashing across her face.
His only son had become a cripple and was now a burden on the family. How could he possibly accept such a blow?
"Dad, is my brother about to wake up?" Qiao Xuejing asked anxiously.
The anxiety stemmed from an urgent desire to know if Qiao Xiangrong could be saved.
Qiao Weiyu said in a hoarse voice, "The doctor said he is very likely to depend on machines for the rest of his life."
The person is awake, but still can only breathe through a machine, clinging to life and waiting for a miracle.
Qiao Weiyu refused to give up.
He had finally managed to persuade his family to accept Qiao Xiangrong back into the Qiao family, and now he was about to lose his only son. He was unwilling to accept this.
Qiao Xuejing was overjoyed when she heard this.
That's wonderful.
Although it didn't result in direct death, it was no different from dying.
Qiao Xuejing became more and more excited as she thought about it. The thought of inheriting everything from the Qiao family soon made her so happy that she could hardly suppress the smile that appeared on her lips.
Even his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile.
Zhao Rong was also happy; this bastard child had finally behaved himself.
Thinking about how she had worked so hard to give birth to so many daughters for the Qiao family, only to be betrayed by Qiao Weiyu, who even brought his illegitimate child home, making her a laughingstock among the wealthy ladies of the capital.
All the pent-up frustration of so many years was finally released at this moment.
It would be best if he died in bed.
Qiao Weiyu was preoccupied with finding a better doctor to treat his son, unaware of the malicious thoughts of his wife and daughter standing beside him.
*
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Tang Yuxiu called Sheng Qian, and the two arranged to meet at a teahouse.
"Miss Sheng."
Tang Yuxiu stood up and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Sheng Qian.
Thank you.
Sheng Qian sat down, and Tang Yuxiu asked, "Miss Sheng, what kind of tea would you like?"
“I’m not a refined person. I’ll just drink whatever Mr. Tang drinks,” Sheng Qian said, waving her hand.
Tang Yuxiu asked for some Longjing tea to brew. He was a connoisseur of tea and had put a lot of effort into making it.
Sheng Qian glanced at Tang Yuxiu's tea-making movements and sighed inwardly that this man had really been good at pretending before.
Tang Yuxiu is really something else... to be able to develop his own power behind the Tang family's back...
"Miss Sheng, please," Tang Yuxiu poured a cup of the brewed tea for her.
Smelling the aroma of the tea, Sheng Qian smiled: "It's so refreshing. Mr. Tang has brewed excellent tea."
"Miss Sheng, please excuse my rudeness," Tang Yuxiu said, his demeanor quite different from his usual self.
He has a gentlemanly and refined air about him.
Seeing Sheng Qian sip her drink, Tang Yuxiu got to the point: "Young Master Qiao is crippled. Qiao Weiyu went to beg Pan Xianyun for help, but was refused. Some toxins were found in Young Master Qiao's body, and it was this toxin that caused the surgery to fail. Now, Young Master Qiao can only rely on machines to live out the rest of his life."
The person is completely ruined.
Sheng Qian was not surprised by this result.
Tang Yuxiu glanced at Sheng Qian when he mentioned the poison.
Sheng Qian knew he suspected that she had done something else, so she said, "Aside from that one mistake, Qiao Xiangrong has never had anything to do with me before. Although he and my cousin are in a romantic relationship, I have never done anything like that."
If she wanted to poison someone, would she leave any traces?
Of course not.
Tang Yuxiu glanced at Sheng Qian and said, "Since it wasn't Miss Sheng who did it, then this matter is inextricably linked to the other members of the Qiao family."
Sheng Qian thought of Zhao Rong and her daughter.
What she thought of, Tang Yuxiu naturally thought of as well.
“The Qiao family is probably doomed this time as well,” Tang Yuxiu shook his head.
"How so? The Qiao family still has Qiao Weiyu to back them up."
"So what? The Qiao family has no successor to take charge. With Qiao Xuejing still in school, can the Qiao family even last a week?" It's not that Tang Yuxiu looks down on Miss Qiao, but that Qiao Xuejing really doesn't have the ability to protect the Qiao family's empire.
Sheng Qian looked at Tang Yuxiu, her eyes darkening slightly: "Mr. Tang, are you planning to take over the Qiao family? To directly confront Pan Xianyun?"
Tang Yuxiu smiled at Sheng Qian: "Miss Sheng understands me best."
"That's a bit dangerous."
"Isn't Miss Sheng here too?" Tang Yuxiu tilted his head, a smile spreading across his handsome face.
That smile exuded confidence.
Sheng Qian said, "You actually believe me."
“Since we’ve already agreed to cooperate, there shouldn’t be any doubts.” Tang Yuxiu did this to test Sheng Qian’s abilities.
Let's see just how capable Sheng Qian is.
Sheng Qian glanced at him, her gaze even deeper than before: "I will be prepared. Give me a definite answer when you're ready to make your move."
"Miss Sheng, you have such great courage!"
He admires it.
"Don't be too happy yet. Trying to pluck a feather from Pan Xianyun's mouth might lead to being bitten in return. We both need to be careful."
