Chapter 335: Chapter 335 BOSS, You’re Welcome (2) Chapter 335: Chapter 335 BOSS, You’re Welcome (2) Gu Annan stood to one side, turning his head away, “I told you to go find a doctor first.”
Shao Zhiheng’s complexion was surprisingly gloomy, his eyebrows twisted extremely tightly. Since entering the ward, his eyes hadn’t looked in any other direction.
“I’ve already sent someone to deliver the medicine.” He stared at the person on the hospital bed, unblinking, fists clenched tightly, yet he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Lu Wanwan glanced at Xu Yuan with some hesitation but turned to look at Gu Annan and understood his intention.
With Shao Zhiheng here, there wouldn’t be any problems, and her presence was superfluous.
“Then I’ll come to see her tomorrow. Will she wake up tomorrow?”
“She must wake up tomorrow, she must!” The veins on Shao Zhiheng’s tightly clenched fists bulged visibly.
By the time they left the hospital, it was already late at night.
“Gu Annan, someone capable of blocking Shao Zhiheng’s signal isn’t just anyone, right?” She pondered for a moment, turned her head to look at the man preparing to drive, “What exactly will they do to Xu Yuan?”
Gu Annan looked at the anxious expression on that little face, started the car, and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t touch Xu Yuan again. Shao Zhiheng’s family is a bit complicated; his parents want him to marry a woman who can be of use to him.”
“Because Xu Yuan’s family doesn’t meet their standards?”
“Even before the Xu Family fell from grace, they were far from the level his parents desired for a marriage alliance. The Shao family’s power still lies in his grandfather’s hands. If his father’s line doesn’t gain sufficient powerful support and is outmaneuvered by his other male cousins, the sovereignty of the Shao Family might fall into other hands,” Gu Annan explained methodically.
Lu Wanwan didn’t understand, “They’re far from talking about marriage, so why are they doing this so early?”
“Because his grandfather’s health is declining, he fell seriously ill not long ago and doesn’t have much time left. Thus, his parents started looking for a marriage prospect for him, and the result is evident–he refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also attempted to use the resources of the Shao Family to help the Xu Family. His parents believe that this woman will be his downfall. If I’m not mistaken, Shao Zhiheng’s mother must have sought out Xu Yuan alone and been rejected after making a very generous offer,” he said.
She was taken aback for a second, “I don’t know about this, but if someone talked to her this way, she would definitely not agree.”
Xu Yuan was strong-willed; if someone reasoned with her kindly, she might consider it, but if they tried to insult her with money, she would definitely not have any second thoughts.
“Therefore, Shao Zhiheng’s parents only had the option of employing drastic measures, resorting to intimidation when enticements failed.”
“They failed this time, but they won’t give up, will they?” Lu Wanwan knew the extent to which some people would go for power.
“Nothing similar will happen again; Shao Zhiheng is not one to be manipulated. His uncle and mother will use other methods, like, I suppose someone will soon approach the Xu Family under the guise of helping them, with a marriage proposal,” he said lightly, “that’s why I said, this is a matter between them. It’s all about making a choice; it’s not a problem you can help with.”
Lu Wanwan rested her chin on her hand, looking out the window.
Gu Annan’s engagement to the Lu Family, was it also related to a marriage for mutual benefits?
Unless the Gu Family wanted to expand into media, then the benefits Jin’an could offer would hardly be of interest to the Gu Family.
Lost in thought for a while, the car had already re-entered the neighborhood.
“Oh no.” Lu Wanwan suddenly remembered something as she got out of the car.
It was already past twelve o’clock…
