Shen Qingyue spoke these words and quickened her pace, almost running towards the emergency room outside.
At that moment, Yan Xi and Xu Fengzhi were both waiting in the corridor.
Seeing her approach, they stood up from their chairs, ready for a confrontation.
Yan Xi had already severed ties with Shen Qingyue tonight, and now that she had gained control of everything in the Shen family, she had no need to pretend anymore. She wore a disgusted expression and sneered, âIsnât it the fake Young Miss of the Shen family? What are you doing here?â
Shen Qingyue ignored her and asked the bodyguard standing nearby, âHow is Grandpaâs condition?â
The bodyguard replied, âThe doctor said itâs still going smoothly for now. Weâll have to wait until after the surgery to know the specificsâ¦â
Shen Qingyue nodded, feeling slightly relieved. Shen Junâs health probably couldnât endure another surgeryâ¦
Yan Xi, being ignored, grew even angrier. Coupled with the embarrassment she faced in front of the Tang family today, her anger flared up. âIâm talking to you! Are you deaf? I am the legitimate Young Miss of the Shen family now. How dare you ignore me? Who do you think you areâ¦â
Smack!
Before Yan Xi could finish her sentence, Shen Qingyue raised her hand and slapped her, leaving half of her face red and swollen.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment and then erupted in rage. âShen Qingyue, how dare you hit me! You, a wild b*tch, not only stole my life but now you dare to hit me!â
âWhy wouldnât I dare to hit you!â Shen Qingyueâs expression was ice-cold. âGrandpa fell ill, and it was you and Xu Fengzhi who schemed together, right?
You knew he couldnât handle the stress, yet you did this. Havenât you done
enough to Grandpa?â
You knew he couldnât handle the stress, yet you did this. Havenât you done enough to Grandpa?â
For a brief moment, Yan Xi felt a pang of guilt, but she still retorted defiantly,
âItâs nonsense! How could I harm Grandpa? Stop spouting nonsense!â
âWhether itâs nonsense or not, you know in your heart!â Shen Qingyueâs voice grew colder. âYan Xi, remember this. If something happens to Grandpa, your life wonât be easy either! Do you think everything youâve gained means anything without Grandpa? Without him, youâll be devoured until thereâs nothing left but bones!â Shen Qingyue stepped closer, her voice a chilling warning. âYou better pray Grandpa pulls through!â
Although she did not finish her sentence, Yan Xi inexplicably felt intimidated. She knew that if Shen Jun was in trouble, Shen Qingyue would not spare her.
At that moment, Xu Fengzhi approached and pulled Yan Xi behind her. âShen Qingyue, Uncle is in trouble, and naturally, we as family members are very worried. What are you trying to do to us? His health has not been good for a long time. Whatâs the point of holding onto us? If you keep causing trouble, believe me, I will have someone throw you out right now. Youâll never see Uncle again. Donât forget, you are nothing now! The Shen family is not yours anymore.â
Shen Qingyueâs face darkened. âTry stopping me from seeing Grandpa.â
Challenged like this, Xu Fengzhi immediately instructed the security guards standing nearby, âYou guys, throw this woman out for me! She thinks sheâs still some kind of Young Miss, daring to threaten me? Doesnât she know her place!â
The guards exchanged glances but did not move. They were well aware of how much Shen Jun cherished Shen Qingyue. If they acted against her now, when Shen Jun recovered, he might not harm Yan Xi, but he wouldnât spare them either.
Seeing their hesitation, Xu Fengzhi cursed, âAll useless!â
She was about to take matters into her own hands. She had already removed Shen Qingyue from her position as the heir of the Shen family. If she still feared Shen Qingyue, then all her efforts would be in vain.
Chen Ying stepped forward with her people. âAuntie, I advise you not to act rashly. My people are rough and might not hold back. If things escalate, you might lose more than you gain. Itâs not worth it.â
Xu Fengzhi gritted her teeth but ultimately backed down, glaring at Shen Qingyue fiercely.
Two hours passed. The lights above the operating room door finally went out, and Shen Jun was wheeled out, immediately taken into the intensive care unit.
This was the second time Shen Jun had been in this situation. And both times, it was because of Xu Fengzhiâs family. Shen Qingyue was not going to let this slide.
She stood outside the ICU, and Chen Ying did not leave either.
Yan Xi, of course, was there too, sneering, âSheâs not even your real daughter.
Why pretend to be a good person!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Qingyueâs eyes turned icy. âSay one more word, and Iâll have you in the
emergency room too!â
Having been taught a lesson by Shen Qingyue previously when dealing with Lu Xiong, Yan Xi knew Shen Qingyueâs skills well. Coupled with the fact that her face was still swollen from the slap earlier, she was somewhat afraid.
Pretending to be tough, she huffed away..
