Di Qiuhe and He Bai went back home after they were done with the contracts, one went back to the campus preparing for the finals, the other one threw himself into work. Di Qiuhe had a lot on his plate, “Immortal Way” was now about to air and Huading created a talent show with the TV station.
Soon it was July, He Bai suddenly got a news notification after he said goodbye to his roommates who left the campus to spend summer holidays, the news said Di Bian had been in hospital for half a month now, he said in his will that all his assets were going to transfer under Di Xiasong’s name if anything happens to him.
He Bai read the news again and again, he couldn’t help but lean towards Xu Qing who was driving and asked, “I heard that Di Bian’s business was going really well not long ago, he went on a field trip for a new project, didn’t he? How come there’s some news saying he had been in hospital for over half a month now?”
“The field trip is fake news, yet him being seriously ill is true. The news was reported by a tabloid, the reporter noticed Lawyer Wang had been paying frequent visits to the hospital, he found that abnormal, so he kept watch at the hospital for several days, hence you got this notification now.” explained Xu Qing, “Huangdu is not having a good time due to Di Chunhua’s case lately, plus Qin Li has been too occupied by her daughter to pay attention to Huangdu’s business. The company tried so hard to hide the news that their only decision maker was critically ill, they posted the fake news that Di Bian went on a field trip for a new project.”
“Yeah, I understand why they posted the fake news… …” said He Bai while he kept reading the news, “I’m just curious why Di Bian fell ill suddenly, and the timing was just so perfect for us, right after Di Chunhua’s case, the timing was so perfect that it almost felt like someone was behind this and has been calculating for us.”
It seemed to be too perfect, didn’t it?
“Hmm, I’m wondering is it Qiuhe who is behind this explosive revelations?” He Bai tapped the screen and murmured. He felt this was a typical Di Qiuhe move.
Hearing that, Xu Qing shook his head and said, “No, I don’t think so, Mr. Di has never given orders like this.”
He Bai was so confused now, ‘is it really a coincidence?’
It was not Qiuhe, could it be grandpa? But Xu Qing should know about this if it was grandpa… …
No, who was behind this was not the point now. The point was Di Bian, was he really sick? If that was the case, how come he suddenly contracted a severe disease? If that was not true, why would Di Bian make up such news? To test Qin Li?
Qin Li also returned home after she heard about the news, she drove to the hospital immediately right after her flight landed. She marched to the ward and checked on Di Bian who was in a coma, and she asked Lawyer Wang to leave so she and Di Xiasong could talk in private.
She slapped Di Xiasong hard on his face, fuming, “How stupid are you! All my efforts, all my efforts was now in the drain! You cannot reach me, why did you try to contact your Uncle Zeng? Why did you take the liberty to drug Di Bian? I have been hustling my whole life for you and your sister, I don’t mind getting my own hands dirty as long as you can live a happy life. But now, why… why did you drug him? What kind of drug did you use?”
“I don’t … I don’t know either!” Di Xiasong, who was on the brink of collapse now exploded as well, he covered his face and growled, “I don’t want to go this far either! Why your phone had always been off? Why! Mom ! why! Do you know he had found out everything? Lawyer Wang also knew everything! Have you noticed the way he looked at us just now? I have been playing dumb for over half a month now in front of him! Mom, do you favor my sister? You had just left the country for her, leaving me all alone in Di’s house! Do you see me as your son or as a tool for your own interests?”
Slap!
Qin Li slapped Di Xiasong again, her body was shaking, and so was her voice, “Tool? How dare you, how dare you say such a thing to your mother? Xiasong, you want me to die to prove it to you? Why would you have such ridiculous thinking?” with that she slumped down on the floor and gave way to a storm of weeping.
She had been running back and forth to save her daughter, luckily she got to transfer Di Chunhua to a psychiatric ward in a hospital assigned by Zeng Peizhong. And the next second she got news that her son had drugged Di Bian. She was devastated, she had no one to rely on, her father just had a stroke and had been in and out of hospitals, her daughter just hid in a psychiatric ward, and her son, who carried all of her hope…
She was devastated. This woman was devastated.
Seeing his mother who had always been nothing but a backbone for him now falling apart right in front of him, Di Xiasong panicked, he squatted down and comforted his mom in a clumsy way, “Mom, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. Sorry to make you cry… I’m so sorry mom… …”
The two both gave way to a storm of weeping, it was like venting, they were both too worried and panicked for the past fifteen days.
Doctors knocked on the door and saw that, they tried to comfort them and left.
