Chapter 377: Chapter 378 How Could I Possibly Want to Kill Someone
Seeing that Fang Xiujing was still hesitating and unable to make up her mind, Zhao Wenyu urged, "Mom, stop waffling. Let’s bring dad home first and hire a nurse to take care of him. As for what happens later, it will depend on him."
Whether he lives or dies, it’s up to his own fate. Forcing him to stay alive in the hospital is a kind of torture as well.
Fang Xiujing stared at Zhao Rongwei for a while, thought about what her son had just said, and gritted her teeth in anger, "I leave this matter to you."
Since her husband’s accident, Fang Xiujing had devoted herself to caring for him at his bedside every day, fulfilling all her obligations as a wife. But the revelation of her husband’s affair with his secretary made her feel ice cold. It felt as if all her strength had been sucked out of her, leaving her shivering.
She didn’t want to stay in the hospital for another moment.
Her son was right. If her husband woke up, she would still have to nurse him all day while he lay in bed; it would be better if he were dead. The car accident might be a divine punishment for him.
Zhao Wenyu relaxed a bit when he heard Fang Xiujing agree to give up, and he found Lin Man more agreeable. He said with his chin up, "Good thing you know how to talk."
"I only speak the truth," Lin Man gathered her things and left the ward.
Only Zhao Wenyu was left in the room. Looking at Zhao Rongwei lying on the bed, he suddenly felt a little scared, as if he wanted to run away. He had the weird sensation that his father had heard his previous conversation.
He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, don’t blame me. I don’t want to give up treatment either. But you know the current situation. If we keep dragging it out like this, the company will collapse. You don’t want the business we worked so hard for to be ruined, do you? If you can hear me, don’t blame me. Go reincarnate as soon as possible. I will definitely burn more paper money for you in the future, and also burn a paper person like your secretary for you. I know you really liked that girl."
Talking to himself for a while, Zhao Wenyu’s fear didn’t subsided. He felt that the entire ward was ominous and intimidating. Unable to stay any longer, he rushed to start the process of discharging Zhao Rongwei from the hospital.
Learning that Zhao Wenyu wanted to discharge Zhao Rongwei from the hospital, Si Chen was not surprised. For wealthy families like this one, it was perfectly possible to hire a private doctor for their relatives. Now the patient was stable and could be discharged to return home. After all, no one could tell when he would wake up.
He reminded Zhao Wenyu of some things to pay attention to after the discharge and the current condition of Zhao Rongwei. But before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Wenyu interrupted impatiently, "If you really have the ability, wake up my dad. If you can’t wake him up, stop pretending to be a miracle worker. I will find a better doctor to take care of him. As for you, be thankful I didn’t sue you."
Having said that, he gave Si Chen a stern look, turned around, and strode away.
What a shoddy hospital, having an inferior doctor treat them. He should have listened to Zhao Wenkai’s advice to transfer to another hospital. If his father had died that day because of the transfer delay, things wouldn’t be so complicated now.
Even if he brought his father home now, he didn’t know how long his father could hang on. It was not easy to take over the shares either.
Zhao Wenyu completed the hospital discharge procedures for Zhao Rongwei, and almost simultaneously, Lin Man submitted her resignation and went home. On her way, she called Zhao Wenkai’s company to report Zhao Wenwei’s discharge.
Zhao Wenkai seemed unsurprised by the news. The corners of his mouth curved up into a faint smile. "Well done. Rest at home for a few days. I’ll arrange your work."
Lin Man felt uneasy, "When will I be able to work at your company?" She had quit her job and helped Zhao Wenkai complete the task. She seemed to have lost her value. If Zhao Wenkai decided to push her away now, she would be utterly helpless.
Even if she made a fuss to Wang Chun, it wouldn’t do her any good. Neither would Zhao Wenkai let her off the hook.
Lin Man realized that she didn’t have any control over Zhao Wenkai.
Zhao Wenkai responded with a question, "Why did you stop working at the Third Hospital and start working at the First Hospital?"
Lin Man panicked briefly and was about to lie, but Zhao Wenkai was one step ahead and said, "Is it because of Si Chen?"
Since learning that Tong Yao was Lin Man’s cousin, Zhao Wenkai had been digging into Lin Man’s past, including her relationship with Shi Yan.
Lin Man blanched, "Mr. Zhao, Si Chen saved me before. And I’ve had discord with Tong Yao all the time. I just wanted to get back at them. I don’t really like Si Chen."
"I don’t care whether you like Si Chen or not. I want you to do something for me." Zhao Wenkai’s lips curved into a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with calculation, "I’m the type of person who pays back grudges. Si Chen has offended me. I don’t want him to have an easy life. You keep in touch with Si Chen’s mother, don’t you? The couple has never had a child. Start from there and stir up trouble in their family. If you do this well, I will give you a condominium."
An eye for an eye, this was indeed Zhao Wenkai’s consistent style. Anyone who offended him had to pay a price.
Lin Man’s heart jumped with joy, "So, all I need to do is to make their family life miserable?" She already despised Tong Yao. Now, she was being told to separate Tong Yao and Si Chen, and she could get a condo as a reward. Why wouldn’t she do it?
Even if she didn’t successfully bear a child for Zhao Wenkai and was kicked out by him, owning a condo would still make it worth it.
Zhao Wenkai scoffed, "What, are you planning on killing them?"
Lin Man was startled and protested instinctively, "How could I think about killing anyone?"
She hated Tong Yao and was jealous of her, but she hadn’t reached the point of wanting to kill her.
Zhao Wenkai cut to the chase, "You are smart. You know what to do, don’t you? As long as they get divorced, the house will immediately be yours."
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Man stood in the phone booth for a while, then dialed Lin Fengying’s home phone number. It had been a long time since Lin Fengying had heard from Lin Man, so she was very happy when she heard Lin Man’s voice.
After some small talk, Lin Man steered the conversation towards Tong Yao, and pretended that she had just found out that Tong Yao was her cousin and began to show concern about her situation.
"Aunt Lin, my cousin has been unable to get pregnant for a while, she’s been seeing doctors for half a year, but it’s still no use. I think she should try some other methods besides medical treatment."
When it came to the matter of having children, Lin Fengying sighed, "I sent a folk remedy to Yaoyao. Many people here have been cured by this remedy, but Yaoyao wasn’t willing to try it. Si Chen even called to scold me, telling me not to meddle in this matter. With the New Year approaching, I don’t want to cause any unhappiness. I heard they’ll be coming back soon, so we can discuss it then!"
