Chapter 725: Chapter 725: The Shi Family Came First
Gu Ming was about to deliver coffee when he heard the sound of a recording being played inside. He stood outside the door with the coffee tray, waiting for it to end.
He thought he would have to wait a long time, but to his surprise, the door was pulled open from inside after only a short while. A tall and distinguished man walked out.
Gu Ming was taken aback and craned his neck to sneak a peek inside, “Mr. Li, aren’t you staying inside to accompany Miss Rong?”
“Let her have some quiet time to herself!”
Rong Yan had initially been inconsolable in his arms after hearing the recording, but she soon calmed down and asked him to leave the voice recorder with her, wanting to be left alone to reflect.
He knew that anyone who suddenly found out such a huge ‘truth’ wouldn’t accept it right away, nor remain indifferent.
He could imagine how complex her feelings were.
That’s why he didn’t want to tell her in the first place, fearing she couldn’t handle it.
But this time, Rong Weiwei had gone too far. He didn’t want similar incidents to happen again, so she had to know.
Though he said that, seeing the young woman’s pale face, her hands constantly clutching the blanket, and her body slightly trembling, his mood still uncontrollably plummeted to rock bottom!
The violent, suffocating irritation caused his head to start hurting again, with his blood shrilly screaming, and even the temperature of his skin began to rise.
He had experienced this reaction countless times from a young age and knew very well what it was about.
Li Shengxiao pressed down on the throbbing pain at his temple and said to Gu Ming, “Go find Cui Jiangjing, and have him bring my medicine over.”
“Medicine?” Gu Ming reacted and immediately, forgetting about Rong Yan, looked at him anxiously, “Mr. Li, is your headache acting up again?”
He knew the BOSS had a condition where headaches could easily lead to fevers, but he wasn’t clear on the specific details.
All he knew was that each attack was very serious.
The president’s mood was also exceptionally bad whenever an attack occurred.
Not daring to delay, he placed the coffee on a chair outside and quickly said, “Just a moment, I’ll go find Doctor Cui.”
He ran swiftly, soon bringing Cui Jiangjing over.
“Dang, why’s your headache suddenly acting up again? Haven’t you been much better recently?” Cui Jiangjing hastily pulled out a medicine bottle and threw it to him, then handed over a cup of water, “Here, quickly take it.”
Li Shengxiao casually took the cup of water handed to him, poured three pills out of the bottle, and swallowed them in one gulp. The chaos in his heart rate finally began to settle down, but his mood, fallen into the abyss, didn’t lighten as his symptoms eased; it was still terrible to the extreme!
After taking the medicine, he put down the cup and turned to Cui Jiangjing. He appeared nonchalant, but his voice was laced with a stormy undercurrent, “Haven’t the Rong Family and the Shi Family arrived yet?”
“Hand me the cup!” Cui Jiangjing took the paper cup from his hand, tossed it into the nearby bin, and then returned, saying irritably, “I was just about to tell you. Mayor Shi has come to our hospital along with his wife and HuanYu’s president, Mr. Xin. With these two high-profile figures arriving together, I’m overwhelmed. I’ve asked them to wait in the lounge; you deal with it.”
A sly smile played at the corners of his mouth, and his mischievous eyes looked over as he continued, “I see the Mayor and his wife are quite anxious. You better go over quickly.”
