The butler looked at Rong Tianshi, concerned that he might collapse right there. With red-rimmed eyes, he said, “Sir, I’m afraid you’ll have to ask Madam about this matter. That agreement has a major flaw! The company that’s supposed to buy your shares is nothing but a shell. I’m afraid… I’m afraid you might never get your shares back.”
“That can’t be! Wang Qing said I could retrieve some of my shares!” Rong Tianshi raised his voice.
“Sir, there’s something you should know. Madam’s younger brother had surgery today. I heard that the pre-surgery and post-surgery costs add up to over ten million. She didn’t have the money before, so she’d been putting it off.”
The butler’s insinuation was crystal clear. Wang Qing had conspired with someone else to deceive him, just to get her hands on the money.
Choked, Rong Tianshi sprayed blood out of his mouth, his body shaking with rage. The butler frantically moved to call an ambulance, but Rong Tianshi stopped him.
“That wretched woman! I’m going to confront her right now. For her own brother, she’s disregarded the welfare of the Rong family!”
Struggling to his feet, Rong Tianshi staggered out. Now, he had nothing left but this mansion. Even his car had been sold by his assistant. He was left with nothing overnight. Grimacing, he swallowed back another mouthful of blood and hailed a cab to the hospital.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, doctors were preparing for Wang Song’s surgery. With the money for the operation secured, Wang Qing was noticeably more relaxed. Still, the money wouldn’t last long for his ongoing treatments.
Sighing deeply, Wang Qing looked at Wang Song, who was wrapped in bandages from head to toe. She couldn’t help but wipe away tears at the sight of her son. But the next second, Wang Song snapped, “Would you quit the sighing? It’s annoying! We now own some of the Rong family’s shares. Good days are still ahead!”
Nodding fervently, Wang Qing wiped the tears off her face, “You’re right, Song. Our better days are yet to come! You have to get well soon; you’re all I have.”
“I get it!” Wang Song retorted, clearly annoyed.
Just as Wang Song finished speaking, the door to the hospital room burst open with a loud bang. Rong Tianshi staggered in, clutching his chest, his face a dark storm.
Startled, Wang Qing jumped to her feet, “Tianshi… what are you doing here?”
Stepping closer, Rong Tianshi glared at her. “Tell me, Wang Qing, what was that agreement you made me sign half a month ago?”
Wang Qing’s eyes flickered nervously before she forced herself to calm down, “It was an agreement to help the company get through a crisis. What’s wrong, Tianshi? Is there an issue?”
“An issue?” He snorted. “Do you take me for a fool? Tell me, did you pocket some kickback from selling the company’s shares?” Grabbing Wang Qing by her collar, he lifted her off the ground.
Shaking her head in feigned innocence, Wang Qing sobbed, “I swear, Tianshi, why would you think that? I did it all to help you.”
She burst into tears, making her scarred face look even more dreadful.
“To help me? Then tell me, where did you get the ten million for Wang Song’s surgery? You’re certainly flush with cash!”
“I… I borrowed it. Tianshi, I swear, I borrowed it. You have to believe me,” Wang Qing stammered.
Rong Tianshi sneered.
She sighed, “Alright, the truth is, the ten million is Feiyu’s endorsement fee. I asked her to get an advance from her boss. That’s how we had the money for Song’s surgery.”
The moment Wang Qing finished speaking, Rong Tianshi’s palm came down with a sharp slap on her face.
The crisp sound of the slap reverberated through the hospital room. New pain layered over old for Wang Qing, who winced as tears sprung to her eyes, a flash of malice flickering in them..
