In the hospital bed, Jin Ye vaguely heard about a blood type mismatch.
But soon, he fainted again.
The doctor quickly went to rescue him. Fortunately, the emergency room was opened, and two nurses rushed in with blood bags, "The blood bags are here!"
This sound, like light piercing the darkness, gave the doctor immense motivation.
He no longer paid attention to Shao Lin and concentrated on saving the patient, hoping to successfully save his life!
Shao Lin intended to slip away quietly but was stopped by a nurse.
"What's wrong with you! Don't you know your blood type matches? Do you know this could kill someone! If it weren't for the timely arrival of the blood bags, he would have lost his life!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I remembered it wrong."
Shao Lin apologized repeatedly with her head bowed, her heart already in turmoil.
What to do!
It would have been better if Jin Ye had died directly; then the inheritance might have been divided among her, allowing her to enjoy wealth and status.
Now that her scheme was exposed, she didn't know what punishment she would face.
Taking advantage of the nurse's departure to help, she quickly sneaked out.
Jin family bodyguards were conveniently absent, and Zhao Qin was probably asked to rest; she had an opportunity to escape.
She didn't dare to face what would happen next.
She could only hide for now.
...
In the afternoon, Su Ding went to the company and signed the transfer agreement.
That same evening, she received the transfer. She allocated thirty percent to Shao Zhenggang and kept the remainder for her and her daughter's future living expenses.
Shao Zhenggang called, "Keep the money for yourself, you don't need to give it to me."
"This is your retirement money. I probably won't be coming back," Su Ding had always been direct with him, regardless of how he felt upon hearing it.
Hearing this, Shao Zhenggang's nose tingled, and tears almost streamed down his face.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I don't need it. For an old lame man, too much money only invites disaster."
"You don't have to be like this, just live your life well."
Su Ding said lightly, "I should be leaving soon. I will do my best to fulfill my mother's last wish. Also, don't tell anyone I'm leaving."
Shao Zhenggang sighed, "I understand."
He paused, then added, "I've spoken to the people at the South Border about that small villa. He will take you to handle the procedures; the environment is good."
"Mm," Su Ding opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't utter words of thanks.
"That girl... can I see her before you leave? As her grandfather, I haven't met her yet," Shao Zhenggang asked softly, his tone a little pleading.
As he grew old, Su Ding was his only remaining family in the world.
He never expected that the daughter he had doted on so much would be illegitimate.
And the daughter he had wronged the most was now completely disappointed in him.
"No need." Su Ding refused coldly.
"I, I can just see her from afar," Shao Zhenggang's voice held a plea.
Su Ding could not let anyone know about Xiao Rui, nor would she let her own kindness put her in a difficult situation. "She had an accident and is gone."
Her voice was cold and calm.
But Shao Zhenggang heard in it a profound, desperate sorrow. What had she been through?
Deep down, he felt heartache for his daughter.
"Xiao Xu..." he called out tremblingly, not knowing how to comfort her.
Su Ding was silent for a few seconds, "Alright, I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
Shao Zhenggang's heart felt even heavier, but he had no reason to say anything else and meekly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ding let out a long sigh.
Her feelings for Shao Zhenggang were complex; she disdained his belated paternal love, yet she was also somewhat moved.
Forget it, let it be this way.
Just then, she received a WeChat message from Xin Jiaer: Ding Ding, I'll pick you up the night after tomorrow. My uncle has a helicopter that's flying to the South Border, and you can hitch a ride.
Su Ding replied excitedly: Okay, thank you!
Xin Jiaer: Remember to pack your luggage. Rest well these few days.
Su Ding: Mm-hmm.
Xin Jiaer: Do you have any friends in the South Border? If not, you can stay at my uncle's house first.
Su Ding: It's fine, I have a place to stay when I get there, don't worry.
Xin Jiaer: That's good. It would be best if you met a young stud there and started a new, beautiful life, hahaha.
Su Ding chatted with her with a smile for a few minutes before turning off her phone.
Her mood was quite good now.
She had just settled the company matters today and then received this news.
Everything was just perfect.
Only...
She and Jin Ye had not yet divorced.
It seemed Jin Ye had no intention of cooperating with the divorce procedures and was just stringing her along.
The more she wanted a divorce, the less he would comply with her wishes.
Su Ding sighed.
It was just that she didn't have the power to force him; forcing it would only lead to suffering.
So, she let it be.
Married or unmarried meant nothing to her anymore.
She had made up her mind; she would never venture into love again in this lifetime.
...
Shao Lin fled to a hotel and immediately called Wen Min.
"Hello, Sister Min, what should I do? Jin Ye had a car accident and needed a blood transfusion. The doctor said our blood types don't match, and I might be exposed."
She said anxiously, her voice laced with tears.
Wen Min on the other end had just put her child to sleep. She was startled awake by Shao Lin's call and the baby started crying loudly.
"Shhh, don't cry..."
Wen Min ignored Shao Lin and quickly picked up the child to soothe her.
She left her phone on the bed and slowly paced to the next room, finally coaxing the little one to sleep.
It had to be said, this child was truly beautiful.
Her skin was fair with a pinkish hue, her eyes were large and bright, and she was very affectionate, always smiling at people.
Wen Min, who had been indifferent to children before, now liked children.
She gently poked the baby's cheek and then quietly closed the door.
Returning to the bedroom, Wen Min picked up her phone. The call had not been disconnected, and she could hear Shao Lin crying.
Her good mood was immediately replaced by a touch of irritation.
She hadn't paid attention to what Shao Lin had said earlier and asked helplessly, "What's wrong?"
