Chapter 10: Stay With Me
er all, before Su He, he had almost believed that his wife would be like other heirs, a well-matched daughter from a prominent family. They would get along and treat each other with respect, living in...Su He's true identity was exposed, and the guests were astonished before realizing it all made sense.
It's no wonder that Storm and Moon willingly become stand-ins.
No wonder Shen Zhaolin invited her to dance the opening number, letting her take center stage.
Thinking back to Bai Yihuan, who was ridiculed for not having an invitation and implied to have a chaotic personal life, the crowd found it even more ridiculous.
Should a wealthy daughter like herself need an invitation to board her own yacht
As for her, she wanted to choose the man.
Before, she confidently stated that all adults should have it, and she has the capital for it!
At the doorway, Huo Chenxi suddenly heard a familiar name and stopped in his tracks. He turned around abruptly.
Seeing Su He standing beside Shen Zhao Lin and Gu Qing Cheng, the whole person was as if struck by nine thunderbolts. His dark pupils trembled violently.
Su He, is actually Shen Zhaolin's daughter he has been searching for for many years!
He had been waiting for her to regret the divorce and come back to him. Will she ever look back now
A wave of panic surged through me, like a drowning person watching driftwood float away helplessly.
He clutched Bai Yihuan, who was "passed out" in his arms, so tightly that it hurt. Her eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably.
There are professional medical staff on board.
After the examination, the doctor looked serious and said to Bai Yihuan, "I suggest you get a brain CT scan."
Ho Chenxi was puzzled: "Fainted from fright, why would you need a CT scan"
The doctor was astonished: “When did I say to do a CT scan for her She can’t even tell the difference between fainting and pretending to sleep! I think you should go to an ophthalmologist instead of getting a brain CT!”
Ho Chenxi's face was dark and his eyes narrowed dangerously, staring at the doctor without a word.
The doctor's legs trembled in fear, but remembering Shen Zhaolin's personal instructions, he gritted his teeth and stood his ground.
Through the glass, Huo Chenxi glanced at Bai Yihuan lying on the hospital bed. He took a deep breath and commanded in a low voice, "Wake her up!"
The doctor, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders, turned and went back to the ward. He gave Bai Yihuan a few sharp injections without any hesitation.
Bai Yihuan, who was in excruciating pain, finally regained consciousness.
Medical staff politely asked them to leave, citing a shortage of medical resources on board.
Ho Chenxi's face turned ashen, he sent Bai Yihuan back to her room.
"Chen Xi," Bai Yihuan, her eyes welling up with tears, tightly grasped his sleeve as she saw Huo Chenxi about to leave. "I didn't mean to embarrass you..."
It's all Su He's fault for stealing the spotlight, otherwise she wouldn't have messed up her dress with such a big move, and she wouldn't have exposed herself in public and embarrassed herself.
To make matters worse, she, who desperately wanted to stand out, made such a fool of herself at the banquet. Su He actually revealed herself to be Shen's long-lost daughter, gaining infinite glory!
Who would have thought, the bumpkin that everyone used to look down upon is actually the Shen family's precious daughter.
Does Huo Chenxi regret divorcing knowing Su He's identity
Bai Yihuan was flustered and uneasy, clutching at him without letting go.
"Get some rest." Huo Chenxi pried open Bai Yihuan's fingers and rubbed his tired nose.
Bai Yihuan bit her lip, unwillingly clinging to his arm again, almost pleading: "For the sake of being siblings, don't leave, stay and keep me company!"
Her face was pale, with tears at the corners of her eyes and a look of panic in her gaze.
Remembering the dying friend's entrustment, Huo Chenxi felt a pang of pity in his heart.
Withdrawing her hand from the bed, Huo Shenxi slowed his tone: "I'll leave when you fall asleep."
Bai Yihuan let out a breath of relief, gazing at him greedily, and reluctantly closing her eyes.
Tears flowed down her cheeks involuntarily.
Huo Chen hesitated for a moment, took the tissue and wiped it for her, letting out a barely audible sigh.
He suddenly remembered that Su He had looked at him like that when she saw him and Bai Yihuan at the hospital before. But he didn't want to get involved with Su He, so he left with Bai Yihuan without looking back.
Yihe Group's defaulting on payments caused trouble, it turns out they were taking revenge for Su He!
He was invited, and Bai Yihuan was specially invited to perform on board. It's probably to humiliate him.
Bai Yihuan is implicated because of him.
Thinking about everything that happened tonight, Huo Chen Xi's temples throbbed.
Before that, he always thought Su He would eventually regret it and come back to him. He didn't expect that there was already another man by her side, and even more unexpectedly, she had found her family again.
So much has happened, yet he remains oblivious.
Was it that she had kept things too well hidden, or was it that he had been too indifferent to her in his usual way
Ho Chenxi raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, a hint of an answer forming in his mind, but he was reluctant to face it.
The banquet was still lively and festive, filled with joy and merriment.
Many nobles flocked to congratulate Shen Zhaolin on his wish coming true and finding his daughter. They hinted at their intention to form a kinship, but Shen Zhaolin skillfully brushed them off without leaving a trace.
How could you even say such a thing! My precious daughter has just returned, and we haven't had enough time to enjoy being together. There's no way she's getting married so soon!
Gu Qingcheng and Su He were also surrounded by the young ladies of wealthy families, with compliments coming out nonstop. This made Su He wonder if those harsh words about her being materialistic and sharp-tongued that she had heard before weren't actually spoken by these very women.
He Li-jun, who had gone back and forth many times, learned Su He's identity. Aside from being surprised, she also felt a touch of fear.
Shen Zhaolin only took twenty years to establish a firm foothold in City A, and his methods are certainly not something to be mentioned lightly.
Moreover, there's also the Shen family, head of the three major conglomerates.
Even though she was reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, He Lijun still held her wine glass and walked towards Su He: "I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier, Miss Su. I hope you can forgive me!"
Su He smiled: "Miss He said it was a misunderstanding, so who is right and who is wrong"
He Li-jun raised an eyebrow, catching the implication in Su He's words, and suddenly leaned closer to her.
Su He retreated alertly, and He Li Jun caught her hand holding the wine glass by surprise.
Red wine splashed all over He Lijing's face.
The delicate makeup was stained with flowers, like an expensive painting that had been ruined, arousing sympathy and regret.
"Su Miss, is this considered sincere" asked Ho Li-chun.
There was quite a stir, and people were whispering about her using this opportunity to get revenge on He Lijun for bullying her. Su He stared at the glass of wine in He Lijun's hand without saying a word.
Ho Li-jun gritted her teeth, raised her glass, and slowly tilted it downward, the rich red wine flowing out gradually.
A crimson liquid flowed from the top of his head, winding down his pale face, looking terrifying and disheveled.
"Miss Su, for any offense I may have caused earlier, please forgive me!" He Lili added a touch of sincerity to her voice, and the disdain in her eyes lessened.
Gu Qingcheng didn't want things to get too heated: "Where is Miss He's point If it's a misunderstanding, just clear it up!"
She beckoned a waiter to take He Lijing to change her clothes, and continued to entertain Su He.
With Gu Qingcheng present, Su He didn't need to say much, just smiling and responding, his face almost stiff.
Noticing the fatigue on her face, Gu Qingcheng made an excuse for her to return to her room to retrieve something. Su He didn't even bother with politeness and hurriedly left.
If she stays there any longer, her face is going to cramp up.
"Tired" Shen Rufeng walked over with a sky-blue cocktail, seeing her rubbing her jaw, he joked, "Is it so tiring to act dignified and elegant"
Su He was a bit thirsty and saw that his cocktail was untouched, so he took it over and drank a few sips: "If it weren't for your debts, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
He Lili finished her apology, and others who had previously mocked her also came to apologize. She had to deal with them.
Shen Ruifeng was helpless and saw tiredness between her brows. He hurriedly said, "Go rest quickly."
Su He handed back half of his cocktail and turned to walk towards the elevator.
As Shen Rufeng turned to leave, he bumped into He Lijun who had come looking for him. The cocktail spilled onto her chest and slid down her open collar.
He Lili stared at the empty wine glass in his hand, her heart pounding suddenly.
Shen Ruifeng, however, smelled something unusual. He suddenly leaned down and sniffed the lingering scent of alcohol on her chest.
"Ho Lai-kwan, who has always been bold and made numerous declarations of love to Storm, was suddenly struck by Cupid's arrow. Her heart raced as her face flushed crimson, and two blushes adorned her usually composed countenance."
The next second, Shen Rufeng’s expression changed drastically as he pushed her away and chased after Su He.p with Secretary Zhou. Knowing that Su He had snatched both Secretary Zhou's project and promotion opportunity, he had long wanted to help Secretary Zhou vent her anger. Unexpectedly, Su He actually c...
