No one expected that the first place the news of Xiao Qi's murder would be trending was not the Xiao family, but Jinggang Union Hospital. Because of the recent series of scandals, the people of Country A, who were already obsessed with the news, had directly dubbed Jinggang Union Hospital a "concentration camp for the powerful and wealthy."

It seems that these big figures, no matter who they are, have an inextricable bond with Whale Harbor Concordia.

The Xiao family and the Shen family are in-laws, so when such a big thing happens, the Shen family will naturally step in.

The next day after the accident, Shen Qian led the Shen family to the hospital to check on the situation. However, Xiao Qi's luck was not as good as the previous ones. After twelve hours of surgery, he was still in danger.

Shen E was busy with the banquet the next day and the performance in front of the operating room. She looked visibly haggard during this time. Her relatives and friends who came to visit her offered their comfort.

Jiang Huashan and Fu Suier are younger generations, and in such occasions they usually follow their elders and mingle with the crowd.

As the atmosphere was heavy and depressing, there was suddenly a commotion at the end of the hospital corridor.

The spotlights flashed wildly without warning, accompanied by the noisy exclamations of reporters, and the solemnity of the intensive care unit was instantly broken.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn over.

Xiao Lanlan was wearing an elegant and dignified black long dress. She was naturally bright and charming, and with the blessing of exquisite makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

The national goddess, who rose to fame at a young age, was at the height of her fame when her private life was exposed and she was caught up in a scandal of adult rumors and bullying, which led to her bleak exit. As soon as this controversial beauty appeared, she became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Miss Xiao, is your sudden return home because your father is about to pass away?"

"Ms. Xiao, what are your thoughts on this case? Was this shooting really just an accident? Do you have anything to share with the public?"

"Ms. Xiao, how long will you stay in Country A this time? Do you have any plans to return to China for development?"

Xiao Lanlan did not stop, and even her eyes did not fluctuate at all. She just raised her chin slightly, and her gaze passed over the crowd, falling accurately on the relatives of the Xiao family.

"I am my father's only daughter, and I feel very sad about what happened."

When everyone in the Xiao family saw Xiao Lanlan appear, their faces turned pale.

At the beginning, the Xiao family almost became a laughing stock among the famous families in Jinggang because of Xiao Lanlan. Everyone hated Xiao Lanlan. Now seeing her being so high-profile, they felt even more displeased.

As a fellow daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, some people couldn't stand it and sneered, "Sister-in-law, my brother is still in there trying to save him. How can Lanlan be so ostentatious? You should take him back quickly to avoid those newspapers making up stories and embarrassing yourself."

Shen E said with a cold face, "Shut up! Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."

The woman was stunned. Ever since Xiao Lanlan was driven out of Country A, Shen E had changed her arrogant and domineering nature. She even endured being bullied by those women on Xiao Qi's side. What happened today?

But the title of the eldest princess of the Shen family still had some intimidation. The woman did not dare to confront her head-on and held her breath, not daring to answer.

The reporter's questions were sharper and sharper, and the microphone was almost hitting Xiao Lanlan's face.

"Miss Xiao, your father is the head of the Xiao family. If anything unexpected happens, has the Xiao family made all the necessary emergency measures?"

This question touched upon the crux of the matter, and almost all members of the Xiao family were worried.

Xiao Lanlan faced the camera with the professional smile of a national goddess, "Of course, I am my father's only daughter, and I will inherit all of his inheritance."

As soon as the words fell, the Xiao family's expressions changed completely.

Because of Xiao Lanlan's high-profile speech, the focus of the assassination of the Xiao family head was successfully shifted to the major reshuffle of power in the Xiao family.

Jiang Huashan looked at Xiao Lanlan, whose charming smile was under the spotlight, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

I have to say that Xiao Lanlan's fighting power is off the charts this time.

But she didn't care about the farce in front of her. She patted Fu Sui'er's shoulder gently and pointed to the next building. "You watch here. I'll go check on Yu Sheng."

Fu Sui'er originally wanted to go along, but he quickly realized what was going on and nodded, "Yeah."

While everyone's attention was drawn to Xiao Lanlan and the reporters, Jiang Huashan retreated quietly, his figure nimbly slipping into the corner of the corridor and heading towards the inpatient building next door.

Almost at the same time she turned around, Shen Guiling moved his feet inconspicuously and followed her like a shadow.

The two of them left one after the other. Although their movements were light, they did not completely escape the eyes of some people.

Shen Lanxi stood a little further away, his calm gaze sweeping across the room, naturally not missing this scene. His brows furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to step over to check.

However, just as he moved, a broad palm gently pressed on his arm.

"Lan Xi," Shen Qian said softly, "the Xiao family's uncles are here, and we in the Shen family can't lose our manners. Since they're all here, will you come with me to say hello?"

"..." Shen Lanxi was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and concealed the deepness in his eyes, nodded slightly, "Okay."

Jiang Huashan walked slowly along the skywalk connecting the two buildings. She knew someone was following her, but she paid no attention. As she entered the hall, the footsteps behind her suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Huashan turned around and returned along the same path.

Sure enough, in the shadows near the corner of the corridor, Shen Guiling stood tall and graceful, quietly gazing out the window. The afternoon sun filtered through the glass, casting a patchwork of light and shadow on his sharply defined profile.

Jiang Huashan walked to his side and followed his gaze out the window. The vegetation in the garden downstairs was lush, but not stunning.

"Why aren't you following?" She tilted her head, a hint of subtle teasing in her tone, "Why? Are you afraid that Yu Sheng will see you?"

Shen Guiling turned her head, her eyes gentle, "No, I'm afraid you'll be jealous."

Jiang Huashan chuckled twice, "Shen Guiling, why didn't I realize before that you are so shameless?"

Shen Guiling touched his cheek, "Is there?"

Jiang Huashan didn't want to pay attention to him. She turned around and took two steps, then suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at him, "Shen Guiling, did you watch Yu Sheng's live broadcast?"

She was still not sincere enough. In fact, she wanted to ask, would he be touched by being loved so seriously?

Shen Guiling shook her head. "I didn't watch Yu Sheng's live broadcast, but I did watch Jiang Huashan's."

He lowered his head, planted a quick kiss on her cheek, and then quickly pulled away.

"I won't waver, because you are my choice."
