Chapter 908: 908, Grand Finale [5]

Shi Huan soothed her with a few words before finally saying, “Okay, it’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest anymore, otherwise Huo Jingshen will blame me.”

Su Wanwan suddenly said, “It would have been so nice if Weiyi could also be at your wedding. It’s just a pity… she can’t see you getting married…”

When Weiyi was mentioned, Shi Huan also felt a bit sad, but she quickly added, “No worries, I’ll have someone record the wedding. Once she gets in touch with us, we can send it to her.”

“It’s not the same,” Su Wanwan yet felt more uneasy as she thought about it, “At her wedding, I was her bridesmaid. I watched her get married with my own eyes and only then felt assured enough to go abroad for my studies. But her, she just disappeared, and it’s been almost two months without any news. Doesn’t she know I’d be worried about her? That girl is really too heartless…”

“Okay, don’t be upset. Maybe she has her unavoidable difficulties. Give it some more time. I believe she will contact you as soon as she settles down. No news now means she’s probably doing very well, very happy…”

“So happy that she has forgotten all about me!” Su Wanwan immediately retorted.

Shi Huan: “…”

It took a while before she said, “Wanwan, don’t be like this. Ever since Weiyi left, I feel like you’ve become more melancholic.”

Now it was Su Wanwan’s turn: “…”

Maybe.

Weiyi’s sudden departure gave her a sense of how unpredictable life could be.

And with so many recent events, it seemed like accidents were always right around the corner, making this feeling even stronger.

“Alright, don’t think about it too much, you must be tired after being out all day, get some rest early,” said Shi Huan.

“Yeah, you should also rest early. As a bride-to-be, you need to get plenty of sleep every day so you’ll look beautiful on your wedding day.”

Shi Huan, smiling, agreed, “Okay.”

Su Wanwan put down her phone and opened WeChat.

Mo Weiyi’s WeChat profile picture still showed no new messages.

That darn girl!

Su Wanwan couldn’t help but curse again.

Her best friend…

Since they met in kindergarten, they had been inseparable almost every day, even during the two years Su Wanwan was abroad for her studies, they kept in close contact, sharing everything.

This was the first time, she still had received absolutely no communication for nearly two months…

She had no idea how Weiyi was doing, whether the baby in her belly was alright, whether Rong An was taking good care of her, or if she might be short of money.

That’s right, when Weiyi left, she was no longer a daughter of the Mo Family. The alimony Xiao Yebai gave that month probably ran out by now, it had been so long, and she had always been a big spender, especially when it came to spending money outside…

As Su Wanwan thought about it, she couldn’t help but open WeChat.

Consequently, someone working downstairs suddenly received continuous bank transaction notifications on his phone.

[Your card ending in 6969 at ## Bank was charged 50,000 yuan via WeChat transfer at 21:20.]

[Your card ending in 6969 at ## Bank was charged 50,000 yuan via WeChat transfer at 21:22.]

[Your card ending in 6969 at ## Bank was charged 50,000 yuan via WeChat transfer at 23:20…]

Huo Jingshen: “…”

The wife is splurging again.

Ever since I gave her this auxiliary black card credit card, which she directly linked to her WeChat, her spending level has simply skyrocketed…

**

The next morning.

Su Family villa.

Jiang Yi was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing; opening her eyes, she realized it was already past nine.

The caller was Jiang Family’s elder brother.

Seeing the caller ID, thinking there was a development concerning Su Yanyan, Jiang Yi hurriedly answered the call, “Big brother…”

“Jiang Yi, what’s going on, are you and Yuntang still getting along okay?”

Jiang Yi stammered, “We… are fine…”

“So, all that stuff said in the papers is fake?”

“Papers? What papers?” Jiang Yi was surprised.

“Haven’t you seen them?” Jiang Family’s elder brother asked, “How can you be his wife and not check it out? Hurry and take a look, today’s ‘Nancheng Daily’ has someone leaking news that there are problems between you two, it should be online too, so many people called me asking about it, I really can’t explain it…”

Jiang Yi frantically ended the call, searching on her phone while getting out of bed and shouting, “Aunt Yang, quick, bring me today’s newspaper to see.”

But just after she finished speaking, she was stunned.

The webpage was flooded with news like this:

[Director of Nancheng TV station passionately embraces mistress!]

[Daughter attempts assassination solely as revenge against the mistress!]

[Director’s affair caught on camera! Private life under scrutiny!]

Someone leaked a photo to the TV station, where in the photo, Su Yuntang and Yan Shunhua were embracing in the hospital lobby.

The photo was clear!

Their affection was unmistakable!

It was understood that the male and female protagonists developed feelings during their work collaboration; moreover, a self-proclaimed employee of the TV station commented below that these two had often flirted with looks and secret gestures during meetings, and this time they openly embraced in the hospital, probably having slept together privately long ago.

Others said that Su Yanyan was actually trying to stand up for her mother by stabbing Yan Shunhua, the mistress, with a fruit knife.

[Plot twist! I said it, no innocents here, why would she go crazy and try to kill a stranger!]

[Could it be that those earlier passionate videos and pictures were also released by this mistress?]

[Intentionally causing a scandal for the director’s daughter, then taking advantage of the situation?]

[What a vicious-minded woman!]

[She deserves it!]

[Mistresses should be punished!]

[Mrs. Su is probably the most pitiful one, with a husband who cheats and even sends his own daughter to prison. How can she live on from here?]

[What a tragedy for the director’s wife!]

…

When Auntie Yang came in with the newspaper, she found Jiang Yi sitting on the ground, looking utterly soulless.

“Madam, are you okay?” Auntie Yang hurried forward, intending to help her up.

Jiang Yi fiercely pushed her away, “Where is the master?”

Auntie Yang said, “The master didn’t come home last night.”

As expected.

Didn’t come home…

Jiang Yi laughed, “Haha, didn’t come home; he actually didn’t come home…”

“The master might have stayed in the ward to take care of the old master,” Auntie Yang suggested. “Madam, breakfast is ready. Why don’t you eat something before going to the hospital…”

Jiang Yi didn’t speak, just staggered to her feet and walked into the bathroom.

Meanwhile.

Nancheng TV Station.

Right after the scandal broke, Su Yuntang was called to the TV station by a phone call.

In the solemn and formal meeting room, several leaders from the municipal discipline committee were sitting, including leaders at various levels of the TV station.

The screen in front showed news of the past few days:

Videos and photos of Su Yanyan’s indecency, the news of Su Yanyan assaulting someone with a knife, and the image of Su Yuntang and Yan Shunhua “embracing” publicly in the hospital lobby.

After everything was displayed, the leading official looked at Su Yuntang opposite him, “How do you explain all this, Director Su?”

Su Yuntang didn’t speak.

The second leader slammed the table, “These scandals have already created a very negative impression. You, as the head of the TV station, not only represent the image of the station, but you got entangled emotionally with a female leader of a collaborating company, causing so many conflicts! Are you aware you are bringing shame not only to the TV station but to all the people of Nancheng as well?”

Someone else chimed in, “The internet is saying how the director’s personal life is so disordered! You really don’t deserve to be the director!”

“So, do you have anything else to explain?”

“Is there really an emotional dispute between you and Yan Shunhua?”

“…”

At that moment, Su Yuntang felt as if he had returned to a scene 20 years ago…

It was the same then, with school leaders sitting around him, questioning him as if he were a criminal.

Seeing him still silent, the leaders glanced at each other.

“This afternoon, we will hold a press conference; please attend and explain the situation. Most importantly, you need to clarify your relationship with Yan Shunhua, apologize to the public, and ensure that it won’t happen again. We have already discussed internally: you are to take a temporary leave of absence, and after some time…”

With a “squeak,” Su Yuntang suddenly stood up, interrupting the leader’s speech.

“All the blame is mine,” Su Yuntang said. “Do as you said—suspend, dismiss, I have no objections.”

Having said that, he turned around and left the office just like that.

The leaders all looked surprised.

“What kind of attitude is that?”

“Absolutely disgraceful!”

“Is he just giving up?”

“Or is he admitting that he’s tangled up with that woman?”

“Outrageous!”

…

Su Yuntang left the TV station in a daze.

As he sat in his car and slowly drove away, he looked back at the towering TV station building and suddenly laughed at himself.

For the past twenty years, he had taken over his father’s burden, working diligently and dutifully in the station every day, hardly even meddling in his own family affairs, only to end up like this.

Haha.

In the end, it turns out it was all for nothing…

**

Nangong Hospital.

Mr. Su woke up this morning, and his vital signs had stabilized, so he was transferred to a regular ward.

At 10 AM, Su Wanwan visited him with Huo Jingshen.

Mr. Su hadn’t seen his granddaughter for several months, and seeing her now, he couldn’t help but get a bit excited.

Su Wanwan said, “Grandpa, please don’t get too excited.”

Hearing the long-lost word “grandpa,” Su Xueqin’s foggy eyes instantly teared up, “Wanwan, about last time, it was all grandpa’s fault. I misunderstood you…”

“Let’s not talk about the past,” Su Wanwan’s voice was cool. “Besides, Su Yanyan, she…”

Seeing the old man’s frail sickly appearance, she frowned but decided to change the subject. “Actually, I came today mainly to ask you about something.”

“I know,” Su Xueqin hurriedly said. “You want to ask about your mother’s issue, right?”

Su Wanwan nodded, quietly waiting for him to finish.

“Your mother was an orphan, and your father truly loved her, even planning to study abroad together. It was my fault; I was biased against her and didn’t want a woman with no background to affect my son’s career. So… after knowing she was disciplined by the school, I found her privately and made a deal with her,” Su Xueqin sighed. “In my whole life, this is the only thing I did wrong and regretted—if it weren’t for my bias, you wouldn’t have spent twenty years without a mother. It’s all my fault, all my fault… Wanwan, can you forgive grandpa? I know I was wrong, I am sorry…”

Su Wanwan said, “You shouldn’t be apologizing to me.”

“Right, I should apologize to Ya Jin,” Su Xueqin gasped for breath. “Don’t worry, once I am discharged, I will find her personally to apologize…”

Hearing what she wanted to hear, Su Wanwan stood up. “Rest well, I’m going back now.”

“Wanwan…” Su Xueqin called out to her, “Are you still blaming me?”

Su Wanwan stopped in her tracks and slowly said, “The doctor said you shouldn’t be agitated, and I don’t want to speak against my heart. To say I don’t blame you would be a lie, but what’s the point of blaming you now?”

“Wanwan…”

“Rest well, I’m going back now.” After finishing, Su Wanwan turned around.

Huo Jingshen had also stood up.

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and the attending doctor came in to check the room with several other people.

Seeing the two people in the room, the attending doctor said, “This is the provincial cardiac specialist team. They happened to visit our hospital today, and I brought them to check on the old gentleman’s condition.”

Su Wanwan nodded.

Another doctor asked, “This is the old gentleman’s…”

The attending doctor who had seen Su Wanwan yesterday immediately introduced, “This is the old gentleman’s granddaughter and…son-in-law?”

Probably.

Su Wanwan nodded.

“Alright, let’s get started then.”

“Okay,” the attending doctor gestured with his hand, then said to Su Wanwan, “Please wait here for a moment. When we’re done, we’ll discuss the treatment plan together.”

“…Okay.” Su Wanwan had no choice but to agree.

The specialist team immediately approached the bedside and started discussing.

Su Wanwan stood to the side and glanced at the time, then softly suggested, “Isn’t your company quite busy? How about you go to the office first? I’ll visit downstairs and then head back.”

Huo Jingshen said, “I’ll take you home later; I’m not going to the office today.”

“It’s fine now, Su Yanyan has been arrested, and Dong Manjiao is also in the hospital…” Su Wanwan tried to persuade.

But Huo Jingshen just grabbed her hand.

Su Wanwan was startled.

Before she could react, he had pulled her into the ward’s restroom.

…

The door closed.

“What are you doing?” Su Wanwan pushed him.

It couldn’t be, not again…

“What are you thinking?” Huo Jingshen stretched out his hand and pinched her face.

Su Wanwan: “…”

“Seeing you so cautious, barely daring to speak out loud, I brought you here,” Huo Jingshen said earnestly.

Su Wanwan again: “…”

Okay then.

She said, “Isn’t your company busy?”

After all, these past few days had been very busy, with entertainment in the evenings, and even the day he got injured, the company was busy until after six…

Huo Jingshen said, “Company matters can wait for now, but about you…”

“What about me?” Su Wanwan asked deliberately.

Huo Jingshen curled his lip with a smile, suddenly holding her chin with a smirk, “What do you think?”

Su Wanwan’s face slowly flushed with embarrassment; she was just about to speak…

“Dad! Dad, you have to help me! You must help me this time!”

A familiar woman’s frantic voice came from outside.

Jiang Yi!

Su Wanwan was startled and hurried to go out, but Huo Jingshen held onto her arm.

Then, Su Yuntang’s voice followed, “Who let you in? Get out!”

…

Jiang Yi, seeing a room full of doctors in white coats, could not care less as she desperately ran to the bedside and shouted, “Dad, I won’t get a divorce! Tell Yuntang I won’t get a divorce!”

A few specialist doctors exchanged bewildered looks, not understanding the situation.

Su Yuntang felt embarrassed, “Are you not ashamed of what you’ve done?”

“And you should be ashamed!” Jiang Yi retorted, “A big television station director, cuddling with Yan Shunhua in a hospital and even getting exposed online…”

“Shut your mouth!” Seeing his father’s darkening complexion, Su Yuntang shouted.

Who knew Jiang Yi would scoff, forcefully breaking away from his grasp, and turned towards Su Yuntang to shout, “Dad, you don’t even know, do you? Your great son has gotten together with Yan Shunhua again, and it even got posted online. Now he’s lost his job, and still, he wants to divorce me… Why should I!”

Suddenly, the heart monitor beside the bed emitted a shrill alarm.

The attending doctor quickly said, “Don’t you know the old gentleman can’t be agitated?”

Su Yuntang stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yi out.

The attending doctor hurried to perform resuscitation around the bed.

By now, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen had come out of the restroom.

Outside, the noise of men and women was incessant.

“Shunhua was harmed by you back then. If it weren’t for the drugs you gave her…”

“So, you two have rekindled your old flame, haven’t you?”

“This is none of your business!”

“Listen everyone, this married man, a husband, was actually embracing a mistress in public and now he wants to divorce me…”

“Shut up!”

The hallway was filled with onlookers.

As for the hospital room, Su Wanwan frowned deeply, “Just now, my dad said it was Jiang Yi…”

Huo Jingshen explained, “I received a message that your father has just issued an apology and clarified the photo with your mother. He also revealed the past issues and decided to divorce Jiang Yi and resign from his position.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

**

By the time Su Yuntang’s condition stabilized, it was already noon.

Arriving at Yan Shunhua’s hospital room, Gu Shaoting was discussing matters with her.

Seeing them, he quickly stood, “Why come at this time? Have you eaten?”

Yan Shunhua looked much better today, just slightly pale due to excessive blood loss.

Her wound hurt a bit, causing her brows to slightly furrow.

Overall, she had a frail and pitiable air.

Su Wanwan walked up to her and looked at her face.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Shunhua asked.

Su Wanwan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “About the thing on the internet…”

“Here’s the thing, I was on the phone with Shaoting and almost got hit by a car, he just pulled me back. Someone captured that and posted it online… Now, with the Su Family’s complicated situation, this will have a larger impact…” Yan Shunhua quickly said, “But don’t worry, ‘Nancheng Daily’s’ people also know Shaoting, and it was his colleague who accompanied him that day who took the photo, just to force your father to step down…”

“That’s not what I meant,” Su Wanwan said, “That’s his issue, it has nothing to do with me, I don’t care.”

Hearing this, Yan Shunhua’s expression slightly changed, and she finally sighed, “Regardless, your father is innocent in this matter.”

Su Wanwan did not speak further.

All things have their causes and effects.

And if it was as Yan Shunhua said, the matter was not beyond explanation.

Su Yuntang chose such a path, perhaps… out of guilt.

**

Ultimately, Su Wanwan said nothing, and, after a brief stay, she followed Huo Jingshen home.

The sun was scorching.

After getting out of the car and entering the living room, she noticed two pairs of shoes at the entrance.

“Is Wanwan back?” The enthusiastic voice of Granny Huo sounded.

Su Wanwan went in, “Grandma, what brings you here?”

Granny Huo looked at the extremely attractive young couple and cheerfully got up, “Didn’t I say yesterday that I was going to pray at the temple? I went early this morning and even got a string of Buddha Beads for both you and Ashen.”

Saying this, she asked a servant to bring over two boxes.

Upon opening them, inside were two strings of brown Buddha Beads, each with dark tassels hanging from them.

“Quickly put them on!” Granny Huo personally took the beads and put them on both Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan’s wrists, “They look quite nice!”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Huo Jingshen likewise: “…”

“Don’t take them off, the old abbot told me, they’ve been blessed, very efficacious, they will surely bring you peace and safety!”

Respecting the old lady’s sentiment, Su Wanwan could only nod, “Thank you, Grandma.”

Granny Huo’s smile was very satisfied, “Right, there are also amulets.”

The servant then handed over two sachets.

Granny Huo busily distributed one to her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, “One for each of you, carry it with you.”

Su Wanwan again: “…”

Huo Jingshen coughed twice, “Grandma, it’s summer now.”

“What about summer? Just put it in your pocket!”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Nevermind.

“These things are not cheap, you know, the abbot said they don’t normally accept requests for amulets at short notice…”

“How much did they cost?” Su Wanwan curiously asked offhand.

Granny Huo waved her hand, “Not too expensive.”

Su Wanwan said “oh.”

That wasn’t so bad.

But the next second.

“It added up to just under a million,” Granny Huo shockingly said, “Not expensive at all! I’m rich enough to be capricious!”

Su Wanwan, startled, quickly put her hands together and tightly clutched the amulet in her hand.

A… a million?!

Old Master Huo snorted coldly from the side.

Spending my retirement money, of course, you don’t find it expensive! Of course, you’re capricious!

Such a wasteful old woman!

…
