Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Du Shaoheng Is in Trouble
From Zhang Aiyun’s perspective, the existence of Rong Ling is something she gladly accepts.
Even though she assigned detectives to follow Rong Ling, it had no impact on her.
After all, as Zhang Aiyun sees it, if she is to marry this man in the future, she can use this to persuade Old Mr. Li and the Li Family shareholders to force her to give up the CEO position.
Although she controls the overall situation in the Li Family, and Old Mr. Li has no actual power, he still has influence in the shareholders’ meetings. Moreover, if she truly marries a man with nothing, there are so many shareholders in the Li Family who wouldn’t just sit and watch the Li Family become a "dowry," leading the Li Family to change its surname to "Rong." Many wouldn’t be able to tolerate that.
However, for the moment, she has more important matters at hand and doesn’t have the spare time to deal with Zhang Aiyun’s affairs.
Shao Chen perceptively asked, "Did you have another unpleasant encounter with Ms. Zhang?"
Li Yufei massaged her temples while saying, "Every time I meet her, it’s never pleasant."
Shao Chen: "President Li, you shouldn’t lower yourself to her level."
Li Yufei: "If I really stooped to her level, I would have kicked her out of the Li Family long ago."
Shao Chen: "That’s also something I’ve wondered about. With just your words, it should be easy to drive someone like her out of the Li Family. Why have you kept her until now?"
Li Yufei: "I don’t want to fall out with Old Mr. Li. At his age, he needs someone by his side. If it’s not Zhang Aiyun, it would be Li Aiyun or Zheng Aiyun. So why bother with it?"
Shao Chen nodded.
Li Yufei: "Have you arranged the matters I instructed?"
Shao Chen: "I’ve already made contact. Huake Group has responded, and a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow evening. Moreover, the credit line has also been approved. Aside from that, regarding the raw material suppliers you asked me to contact, we’ve reached preliminary cooperation agreements."
Li Yufei said, "Very good."
...
Late at night.
Li Yufei was suddenly awakened by the urgent ringing of the phone.
She opened her eyes, and the phone on the bedside table was vibrating and ringing simultaneously.
She reached out, grasped the phone, and saw it was a call from Guan Yue.
In that instant, she had a fleeting sense of foreboding.
Guan Yue seldom contacts her proactively.
Moreover, it was so late.
Li Yufei furrowed her brows and answered the call. As soon as she did, she heard Guan Yue’s helpless sobbing on the other end: "Yufei! Something’s wrong! Shaoheng... he’s in trouble!"
Half an hour later.
The driver had taken Li Yufei to the hospital.
The car door opened.
Li Yufei got out, turned to look at the driver’s seat.
The car window was lowered, and Uncle Chen said to her, "President Li, you should go in quickly. I’ll park the car in the parking lot and wait for you. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
Li Yufei apologized, "Uncle Chen, I’m sorry to disturb your rest so late."
Uncle Chen smiled, "President Li, please go quickly."
Li Yufei adjusted her breathing, turned around, and entered the hospital.
The emergency room lobby.
As soon as she reached the entrance, she saw Guan Yue sitting on a bench, silently sobbing, her eyes staring blankly ahead, unblinking for a long time, with bloodshot eyes.
Li Yufei walked to her side, raised her hand to touch her hair, but catching sight of the severe tremor, she clenched her wrist until her hand stopped shaking, then held Guan Yue’s hand.
Guan Yue looked up, and upon seeing her, her eyes widened: "Yufei, you came..."
Li Yufei: "Guan..."
Just as she spoke, Guan Yue abruptly stood up, gripping her hand tightly, almost frantically: "Shaoheng is inside... The doctor said he’s severely injured... They’ve issued a critical condition notice, what should we do... what should we do..."
Li Yufei: "Calm down first. How did it happen?"
Guan Yue’s voice was trembling; she was utterly flustered, terrified that the next time the doctor would come out, he would tell her something dreadful.
She couldn’t bring herself to stand at the door; she couldn’t face the possibility of losing the one she loves!
Guan Yue said, "Today... today was our wedding anniversary. He booked a restaurant for dinner with me. After dinner, I had a bit to drink, so he drove. On the road, I suddenly had a stomach ache, and when we got to the roadside, he saw a pharmacy and said he would go buy me some medicine..."
She hugged her head, recalling while helplessly shedding tears: "He said he would get out of the car to buy medicine for me. I leaned back in the headrest, watching him get out, but when he reached the middle of the road, for some reason, he suddenly collapsed... I watched as he was hit by a car... thrown five meters away... Even though the car slowed down, the wheels ran over his leg... The doctor said he suffered severe head trauma, and they will do their best... but... they told me to be prepared."
Li Yufei’s lips pressed into a thin line.
Guan Yue: "I don’t know... what happened after... When I saw him being hit, my mind went blank... When I came to, I was holding him, and the driver had called the police and an ambulance, and then... we got to the hospital... then..."
She became more and more incoherent.
Then, she looked up, tightly holding Li Yufei’s hand: "Yufei... will he die? Will he die..."
At the hospital, she frantically asked the doctor, but the doctor didn’t give any definite answers!
Later on——
She received the critical condition notice.
Guan Yue was filled with utter despair.
Guan Yue said, "I’m afraid... afraid something might happen to him. You were once his greatest love; if anything happens to him... I don’t want you... to miss seeing him for the last time..."
With that, she broke down, crying bitterly.
The Du Family and the Guan Family members were all present.
Both families were filled with melancholy, sorrow, and anxiety, fearing that once Du Shaoheng entered the emergency room, he wouldn’t come out.
Guan Yue said, "It’s all my fault... We had stomach medicine at home; I shouldn’t have let him get out of the car to buy medicine for me. It’s all my fault..."
She blamed herself incessantly.
Li Yufei closed her eyes briefly, then reopened them: "Guan Yue, it’s not your fault."
Guan Yue looked up, her face covered in tears.
Li Yufei said, "This incident is not your fault."
Guan Yue: "I should have stopped him."
Li Yufei unexpectedly asked, "Did he ever tell you that he was ill?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue was confused: "What illness?"
Seeing her bewildered expression, Li Yufei realized that Du Shaoheng had never mentioned anything to her.
She turned around to look at the operating room, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "He has a terminal illness called ’Spinal Cerebellar Atrophy.’ In the medical field, there’s currently no cure for this condition. When he collapsed while crossing the street, it was because he had an episode. This illness intermittently causes him to lose mobility and control over his body."
