Chapter 527: Interrogation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ning Hui had brought another artiste under him to the neighboring city to film an advertisement yesterday. When he saw the news of Shi He jumping off the building, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He rushed back on the nearest plane early in the morning.
When he arrived at the ward and saw Shi He still sleeping, Ning Hui was furious. He ruffled his hair in frustration. “Did Lin Yue do it?”
Shen Xian still didn’t know about her son and Lin Yue. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but stand up. Her voice trembled as she probed, “Mr. Ning, what did you say? Is Lin Yue involved in my son jumping off the building?” Only then did Ning Hui realize that the Shi family might still be hiding this from Shen Xian. He wished he could bite off his tongue immediately and hurriedly changed his words. “I was just guessing. Madam, don’t take it to heart.”
Shen Xian took his words seriously. In a panic, she grabbed Shi Man’s arm and her eyes were filled with tears again. “Manman, tell me, does this have anything to do with that girl?”
Shi Man sighed softly and helped her sit on the sofa. She found a blanket and draped it over her. She comforted her softly. “Mom, didn’t Brother and Dad already investigate this matter early in the morning? I believe there will be a conclusion soon. Sleep for a while. Your body won’t be able to take it after staying up all night.”
Shen Xian was so flustered now that she was not in a hurry to sleep. She pulled Shi Man helplessly, her eyes filled with desire. “Manman, Mom knows that you’re a capable girl now. You must know something, right? Can you tell Mom so I won’t continue to worry, okay?”
Shi Man pursed her lips. Seeing that she couldn’t hide the truth, she could only pick out the less important parts to share with her, “Mom, I only know that Brother and Lin Yue broke up very quickly after being together for a week. We’re just guessing if Brother did something stupid because of this.”
When Shen Xian heard this, a vicious look suddenly condensed in her pitiful and helpless eyes.
Shi Man thought that she would want to look for Lin Yue to interrogate her. Unexpectedly, she slapped the table angrily. Her eyes were filled with disdain. “He doesn’t want to live because of such a small matter. 1 raised this son for nothing! To think that I even worried about him for the entire night! If that’s really the reason, he deserves to lie on the hospital bed for the rest of his life!” She was really… his biological mother!
Shi Man could not help but laugh.
However, seeing that Shen Xian had some vitality again and was not as lifeless as the entire night, she was slightly relieved.
Shen Xian seemed to be really angry with this guess. After glaring at her son on the hospital bed, she actually yawned for once and complained regretfully, “If I had known that this was the reason, I would have gone home to sleep last night. Alright, I’m tired. I’ll sleep on the sofa for a while. Help yourselves.”
As Shen Xian spoke, she really lay on the sofa and closed her eyes under the blanket.
Shi Man gave Ning Hui a look and left the ward quietly with him.
No one noticed that the moment the ward door closed with a click, the woman lying on the sofa suddenly opened her clear eyes. How could one see any sleepiness?
The two of them stopped in the stairwell a little further away. Shi Man stared at Ning Hui with a grave expression, her tone not friendly at all. “Why did you leave my brother behind?”
Ning Hui was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Missy to interrogate him so forcefully.
Compared to her, Ning Hui was actually at a disadvantage for a moment. He replied weakly, “Your brother isn’t the only artist under me. Moreover, he’s the boss of a company now. 1 have a lot of free time. Of course, I have to personally bring others to an event.”
Shi Man clearly didn’t want to hear this. Her expression didn’t change, and her lips moved with a hint of coldness. “I said, why did you leave my brother behind? You should be able to tell that his condition during that period of time was very abnormal.”
Ning Hui let out a faint breath and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it but only held it between his fingers. His expression was painful and irritable. “Before I left, we had a big fight over the company’s transfer of shares. He didn’t listen to me and insisted on giving up He Man Entertainment, which he had finally stabilized. What can I do?”
Shi Man leaned against the cold wall and lowered her head. “Was Lin Yue the one who suggested the transfer of shares?”
“Yes.” Ning Hui spat out a mouthful of smoke circles, and his stubbled chin looked even more tired amidst the smoke. “She wanted Shi He to prove his sincerity to her by transferring the company’s shares. Shi He agreed without thinking.”
Shi Man fell silent.
The corners of Ning Hui’s lips curled up sarcastically as he smiled silently. “He’s such a person. Once he decides on something, he will do his best. 1 really want to ask him properly what He Man Entertainment is to him.. What position has he been placed in after working hard for so many years?”
