C109 Slap
The nurse pushed the mushrooms out of the operating room and sent him to the ward, where he busied himself. Soong Shiyan stood outside the ward and looked in through the glass door. The mushrooms were still unconscious and had yet to wake up.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump …" The sound of leather shoes came closer and closer.
Hearing the commotion, Soong Shiyan turned around and looked toward the source of the sound. Under the escort of his bodyguard, the old man hurried over to where Soong Shiyan was. As for Huo Chenglieh, Chiang Shuru, and Huo Mingyang, the three of them had also arrived with unfathomable expressions on their faces.
The old man's expression didn't look too good. He came to the door and looked at the lentinus edodes in the ward with a worried expression. However, compared to Soong Shiyan's previous reaction, he was still much more composed.
Soong Shiyan looked at the old man and said self-reproachfully, "Grandfather, I'm sorry, I …" As she finished her sentence, Soong Shiyan burst into tears. Lentinus edodes were originally fine, but now that such an accident had occurred, the lordmaster's heart definitely wouldn't be in a good mood. Soong Shiyan would have admitted it even if the old tutor had beaten her or scolded her. After all, if she hadn't brought the lentinus edodes to the amusement park, how could such an accident have happened to the lentinus edodes?
The old man retracted his gaze and looked at the self-reproaching Soong Shiyan in front of him. He let out a long sigh and said somewhat helplessly, "Girl, I don't blame you for today's accident. [This kid, Mingshen, has always had an ill-fated fate. Sigh...] Don't blame yourself! "
Soong Shiyan nodded when she heard the old man's words, but she still blamed herself in her heart.
Huo Chenglieh, who was standing behind the old man, suddenly walked up to Soong Shiyan. He looked at her with eyes full of anger.
"Pa!" A resounding slap landed on Soong Shiyan's face. A red handprint impressively appeared on Soong Shiyan's left cheek, and her left cheek quickly swelled up.
After being beaten up by Huo Chenglieh, Soong Shiyan became a little dazed. At that moment, she lost the ability to think. When she came back to her senses, she felt that half of her face had gone numb, followed by a burning pain. Soong Shiyan raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth. As expected, she saw a trace of dark red blood.
Huo Chenglieh's actions were somewhat unexpected, and it took a while for the old man to come back to his senses. He looked at Huo Chenglieh in dissatisfaction and shouted with a hint of anger: "What are you doing!"
"Dad, don't tell me you still don't see that I'm teaching her a lesson? — — If it wasn't for Jing Sung, this jinx, how could such an accident have happened to Mingshen? Even though, according to what you said, Jing Sung is the future successor to Huo Family, I can still be considered an elder of Huo Family. She caused my son to stay in bed, unknown whether he is dead or alive. As a father, shouldn't I give her a slap as well? " Huo Chenglieh looked at the old man and retorted.
"Hehe, father?" Hearing this, Soong Shiyan sneered. Then, she stood up straight, looked at Huo Chenglieh with her cold eyes, and said, "Master Huo, you actually have the nerve to mention the word 'father'!? I wonder, when you say this word, do you feel a little ashamed? Which father, for twenty years, would ignore his own children? "Who as his father would..."
Hearing that, Huo Chenglieh became angry from embarrassment. He raised his hand to continue attacking Soong Shiyan, but Soong Shiyan grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"Master Huo, there are many people coming and going in this hospital and you are a person with status and position. If someone accidentally filmed you and uploaded you to the internet, it would be detrimental to the image of your Huo Family." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Chenglieh, and said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "Since Old Master Huo cares about Huo Family so much, I think you should know better in your heart. You should know what's more important and what's less important!"
"Enough, stop!" The old man looked at Huo Chenglieh with an unfriendly face and said coldly, "If you embarrass me again, then scram!"
Huo Chenglieh gritted his teeth as he retracted his hand. He looked at Soong Shiyan unwillingly and said in a low voice, "Don't think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you just because you have the old man to protect you."
Soong Shiyan gave a disdainful sneer, as if she did not put Huo Chenglieh in her eyes at all, and said lazily, "Oh? I shall wait and see. I shall see what kind of shameful deed you will do when the time comes when you are in such a rush! "
"Jing Sung, you — —" Huo Chenglieh pointed at Soong Shiyan and growled in exasperation.
"Lordmaster, I told you before that Jing Sung is a jinx. Now it seems that what I said was true. Look, she hasn't been in the Huo Family for long, and your darling grandson has already encountered such a situation. If she continued to stay in the Huo Family for a few more days, who knows what might happen! " Chiang Shuru saw that Huo Chenglieh was defeated, so she took the opportunity to fan the flames in the old man's ears.
However, the lordmaster had never liked her, and naturally wouldn't take her words to heart. Hearing this, the old man snorted and shot a cold glance at Chiang Shuru before turning his head away, ignoring her.
Chiang Shuru had no choice but to shut her mouth and stay on the side.
"The patient has regained consciousness, and the family can go in to visit. However, the patient is still in a relatively weak state, and her mood may be unstable, so she needs a quiet environment. Therefore, it would be best if only one person were to enter at a time, and keep the ward quiet. " The nurse pushed open the door and walked out. Looking at the crowd outside the ward, she asked, "Who wants to go in first now?"
Of course, Old Master Huo was the first to walk in, leaving Soong Shiyan, Huo Chenglieh, and Chiang Shuru staring at each other.
"Jing Sung, are you alright?" Huo Mingyang walked to Soong Shiyan's side, sat down and asked with concern.
Soong Shiyan knew what Huo Mingyang was planning. If it was in the past, she might be able to deal with him with a smile. But right now, the Lentinus edodes was still lying on the sickbed. She really didn't have the mood to act out with Huo Mingyang. Therefore, Soong Shiyan only coldly glanced at Huo Mingyang and then turned her head to the side in silence.
Seeing Soong Shiyan's cold expression, Huo Mingyang didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and continued to talk to her, "Jing Sung, don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault that something happened to you. If you have anything you want to talk to me about, just tell me, and I'll be happy to enlighten you. "
"Thank you. I'm fine, you can leave now. " Soong Shiyan turned around and bluntly said to Huo Mingyang.
"Am I not allowed to sit beside Jing Sung?" Huo Mingyang asked with a smile.
"Yes - only, you talk too much. It bothers me." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang beside her with a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Huo Mingyang naturally noticed the disdain in Soong Shiyan's eyes. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you any further." With that, Huo Mingyang stood up and walked to the other side to sit with Huo Chenglieh and his wife.0
