The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing's face turned deathly pale.

She reached out and tightly grasped Grandpa Shen's hand, her voice trembling with tears as she said, "Grandpa, please don't let anything happen to you, you must hold on."

The doctor glanced at Shen Qingqing and said in a deep voice, "The patient needs immediate resuscitation. Please do not obstruct the rescue."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing reluctantly let go of Old Master Shen's hand in fear and followed the doctor and nurse out of the ward.

I was standing in the corridor when I saw the doctor and nurses suddenly rush in. Not long after, Shen Wankun was wheeled out, followed by a large group of people from the Shen family.

They rushed to the emergency room, and when I saw this, I knew that Shen Wankun's illness had relapsed.

Shen Qingqing stood in the corridor, staring blankly ahead, tears streaming down her cheeks.

I stood less than a meter away from her, quietly keeping her company.

After an unknown amount of time, the doctor came out of the emergency room.

Shen Anqiu and Shen Qingqing quickly surrounded him and asked, "Doctor, how is my dad?"

The doctor removed his mask and said with a grave expression, "The patient's condition is not optimistic. Although he is out of immediate danger, he still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for a few more days."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Shen Qingqing's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

I quickly reached out and helped her up. Seeing her helpless state, I felt terrible.

"Qingqing, don't worry too much. Your grandfather is a lucky man and he will be fine."

Shen Qingqing nodded slightly, remaining silent with her lips pursed.

After a long silence, Shen Anqiu suddenly walked towards me and pushed me away.

"You scumbag, what are you doing still bothering Qingqing? Get out of here!"

After she said those words to me fiercely, she gripped Shen Qingqing's hand tightly as if she were grasping at the last straw.

"Qingqing, do you like Lin Mo or Lin Yi?"

"Your aunt knows you're probably a little flustered by this sudden question. But now that your grandfather is in this state, your biggest worry is you. Could you..."

Shen Anqiu didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant.

Shen Qingqing frowned and said firmly, "No."

"Why can't you fulfill your grandfather's last wish? Once you get married, he'll be at ease, and maybe his illness will get better!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing's face turned deathly pale.

She shook her head vigorously, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Auntie, I...I can't agree to that."

Shen Anqiu trembled with anger upon hearing this.

She pointed at Shen Qingqing and said sternly, "Shen Qingqing, how can you be so insensible? Do you want to watch your grandfather pass away with regrets?"

Shen Qingqing looked at Shen Anqiu with teary eyes, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

“Aunt, I… I’m not being unreasonable. I’m also heartbroken that Grandpa is seriously ill, but I don’t want to waste my whole life on this.”

"I have been wandering outside for so many years, all alone and helpless. I have always longed for a home, so I have always cherished you all. But that doesn’t mean I have to become a sacrifice for the marriage between the Shen Group and the Lin family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Anqiu paused slightly, then looked at Shen Qingqing with a complicated expression.

Standing not far away, I witnessed the entire scene.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself, was everything Shen Anqiu did before all for the sake of the Shen Group?

The next second, I saw Shen Anqiu take a deep breath, soften her tone, and speak again: "Qingqing, your aunt knows you feel wronged, but you've seen the current situation of the Shen family. Your grandfather... he really needs you."

Upon hearing Shen Anqiu's words, Shen Qingqing's tears fell again.

She wiped away her tears and whispered, "Auntie, I understand what you mean, but I really can't agree."

Shen Anqiu's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Shen Qingqing across the face.

"You're just like your father, selfish and self-centered, never considering the Shen family's situation, only caring about love and romance!"

"If love is that important, why did you come back?"

Shen Qingqing's head turned to the side after being slapped by Shen Anqiu, and a bright red handprint instantly appeared on her face.

She stared wide-eyed at Shen Anqiu in disbelief, her body trembling slightly.

She didn't expect Shen Anqiu to suddenly hit her. I was standing next to him, and I was so shocked by what happened that I couldn't speak.

After slapping him, Shen Anqiu seemed to realize his loss of composure.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions.

"Qingqing, your aunt didn't mean to hit you, but I really hope you can understand that Grandpa's condition is very critical right now, and he really needs you."

After Shen Anqiu finished speaking, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes began to fall.

Shen Qingqing turned her head and looked at Shen Anqiu, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Aunt, I know Grandpa needs me, and I will take care of him and stay by his side. But I really can’t agree to the marriage alliance with the Lin family. I can’t sacrifice my happiness for the benefit of the Shen family,” Shen Qingqing said, choking back tears.

Upon hearing this, Shen Anqiu's expression became complicated once again.

She looked at Shen Qingqing and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Qingqing, your aunt knows you are upset. But your aunt hopes you can understand that as a daughter of the Shen family, marriage is not just about love; it also includes responsibility and sacrifice. The marriage between the Shen family and the Lin family is the best choice for the Shen family. As a member of the Shen family, you should consider the Shen family's interests."

Upon hearing Shen Anqiu's words, Shen Qingqing's tears fell again.

“Aunt, I understand what you mean. But I really can’t do it. I am myself first, and then I am a girl of the Shen family.”

Shen Anqiu trembled with anger upon hearing Shen Qingqing's words.

"Shen Qingqing! How can you be so stubborn! Do you want to watch your grandfather die because of you?" Shen Anqiu questioned sharply.

Shen Qingqing was speechless at Shen Anqiu's question. She stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face.

I frowned and took a step forward, about to speak, when Shen Qingqing's voice rang out first—

“Aunt, I will not agree to the marriage alliance with the Lin family. If anything happens to Grandpa because of me, I am willing to take full responsibility.”

Shen Anqiu turned ashen with anger upon hearing Shen Qingqing's words.

She pointed at Shen Qingqing and said sharply, "Shen Qingqing, you have really disappointed me! Go away, I never want to see you again!"

Shen Qingqing glanced at Shen Wankun lying in the intensive care unit, then turned and left.

I quickly caught up with her, and once I did, I gently comforted her, "Qingqing, no matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Shen Qingqing remained silent and walked into the elevator with her eyes lowered.

After we walked out of the hospital, Shen Qingqing suddenly said, "Nan Chen, arrange for someone to pretend to be a nurse and secretly check on my grandfather's medication and his true physical condition."
