The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 87: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (16)
Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (16)
The organ had already been transplanted into the other person’s body, and there was nothing he could do but ask her for additional compensation.
Shi Shen hadn’t expected that the person he had fallen for was still a venomous beautiful snake.
When her poisonous fangs were injecting venom into others, he felt nothing, but when the venom was directed at himself, Shi Shen realized the pain that seeped into his very bones.
It was physical as well as emotional.
After all, he had genuinely invested his feelings in Ye Ruolan.
Touching the wound on his side, Shi Shen’s guilt towards Su Li reached its peak.
Only those who had experienced it could understand how terrible it all was.
Now, Shi Shen didn’t want to think about anything else, none of the emotions or love, none of it compared to the trauma he was currently enduring.
In this situation, apart from harboring silent resentment, Shi Shen really couldn’t find a good solution.
But the Ye Family was powerful and wealthy, so putting forward his demands, even considering his relationship with Ye Ruolan, she should have been obliged to pay.
However, while Shi Shen had thought things through carefully, his plans were destroyed by his mother.
Shi Mu didn’t think as deeply as her son. In her heart, there was only one thought: the hope of her lifetime had been ruined by someone else.
The higher her hopes were for Shi Shen, the more intense her hatred was now for the one who destroyed everything.
Confronting the very cause of the disaster, Shi Mu had already forgotten her son’s words, her blood boiling with rage. With only one thought on her mind—to beat the woman in front of her—she let out her emotions on Ye Ruolan. Only when her molten fury subsided did she remember what her son had told her.
Shi Mu, unconvinced, scoffed and showed no concern for Ye Ruolan, who was being pushed into the operating room.
Striking her a few times was too light a punishment.
Even if she had beaten her more severely now, what needed compensating still had to be compensated.
After all, it was her own son’s organ that was now inside her body.
It was she who owed them.
Shi Mu felt this was only right and, emboldened, stood at the entrance to the operating room, continuing to curse, still not appeased.
Amidst the major incident, Ye Ruolan’s nanny was at her wits’ end, frantically dialing the Ye Family’s number.
But nobody from the Ye Family answered, their phones busy until Ye Ruolan was wheeled back into the ward.
When the nanny saw people coming out, Shi Mu still wanted to follow, but the nanny was terrified of her.
Quickly stepping in front, and fearful of another incident with the mistress, the nanny had already called the police.
"You again?" the officer arrived, irritated from the get-go. "After causing trouble in one hospital, you’re continuing in another?"
"Come on, you’re coming with me to the police station now."
The police officer, without further discussion, took her away.
Last time, Shi Mu had just caused a scene and hadn’t injured anyone, but this time, she had physically attacked someone, and the victim could legally press charges against her.
Starving and waiting in the hospital, Shi Shen had not seen Shi Mu by evening, and couldn’t get through on the phone.
If it hadn’t been for his physical condition, he would have gone out to look for her much earlier.
On one hand, he was worried about his mother; on the other, he wanted to know how the situation was being handled.
By nightfall, Shi Shen finally learned of his mother’s whereabouts.
Following his father, his mother had also been taken to the police station.
Shi Shen: "..."
"Complaint, complaint, a resolute complaint..."
Just regaining consciousness and still weak, Ye Ruolan firmly ordered her nanny, "Dare to hit me, and if she’s not sent to prison, my last name isn’t Ye."
In a low voice, the nanny reminded her, "She is the mother of your boyfriend, Miss."
Ye Ruolan was taken aback, then dismissively waved her hand, "It wouldn’t help even if she were the mother of a megastar."
Now, the only value Shi Shen had in her eyes was his face that was worth looking at.
But having looked at him for so long, she was already fed up with it.
Ye Ruolan asked, "Where’s the family?"
"Didn’t my mother and the others come?"
The nanny replied, "The lady and sir haven’t answered their phones. I’ve called the eldest young master’s phone several times, but it was hung up every time."
"What’s going on?"
At this moment, the Ye Family that Ye Ruolan was thinking about was all preoccupied with their own problems.
A significant oversight had occurred in the Ye Family’s company, tax issues had been found, and several important projects in the company had also encountered problems.
With so many issues arising, it would be a waste of their intelligence if the Ye Family couldn’t see that someone was purposely targeting them.
But what use was it to realize that when the chairman’s assistant’s public accusation became the last straw that broke the camel’s back?
When all was said and done, the Ye Family filed for bankruptcy; everything valuable in the house was used to settle debts.
It wasn’t until the hospital sent the overdue bill that Ye Ruolan found out something had happened at home.
She was in a daze, still in shock, and could hardly believe her family could fall to such a state.
Yet reality would not change according to Ye Ruolan’s will; she could only move from a private to a public hospital, coincidentally ending up in the same ward as Shi Shen.
Now, this made the ward riotous and bustling every day.
"What are you saying, it’s impossible..."
Ye Ruolan shook her head, "It was supposed to be Su Li’s, hers matched with me the most..."
Shi Shen lifted up his shirt, "Then explain why my left kidney was removed?"
"And the documents you tricked me into signing before."
Ye Ruolan was at a loss for words; she couldn’t explain those documents she had indeed persuaded Shi Shen to sign with ulterior motives – there was no denying that.
But...
-------------------
When Su Li was called into the chairman’s office, she was in the midst of devising a new plan with her newly-formed team.
"Dad, did you call me?"
Su Chaoyang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the door. When he saw his daughter enter, he simply turned his head to look at her, then gestured with his chin toward the desk.
Su Li caught sight of a stack of thick documents on the desk at a glance.
"What’s this..."
Su Chaoyang’s gaze never left his daughter from the moment she picked up the documents.
From start to finish, Su Li’s expression remained extremely calm, seemingly unaffected by the content written on the white pages.
"Do you think I’m too ruthless?"
The documents detailed his blocking of the Ye Family and his revenge on the Shi Family.
Su Li lifted her eyes and seriously responded, "No, both personally and professionally I don’t think you’re in the wrong. Remember, sometimes such measures are only about protecting oneself."
"Dad, thank you."
Su Chaoyang replied with a relieved smile, "Since you have this understanding, then I’ll leave the company’s affairs to you from now on. Your mother and I can enjoy some time together, just the two of us; this is also an important test for you."
Su Li made a face, "Dad, are you sure? This is the most crucial time for our company’s expansion, and you trust me just like that?" freёwebnoѵel.com
"The way you’ve performed recently has already shown me your ability. In the future, the company will be in your hands. Whether you become a ’Dragon’ or a ’worm’ is up to you; I have nothing to worry about."
