Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Cheng Shuxue's sharp gaze went straight to Shen Qingqing, who was stopping her from finding Shi Xiaxia!

She didn't want to ask Shi Xiaxia to check on Liang Qianqian's condition!

On the two previous times Shen Qingqing saw Shi Xiaxia, she hid behind Shen Yi and wouldn't let Shi Xiaxia get close at all.

So, Shen Qingqing is afraid of Shi Xiaxia.

What are you afraid of her for?!

The Shen family members basically listen to Shen Qingqing, and Shi Xiaxia has already left the Shen family, so why would she still be afraid of Shi Xiaxia?!

Cheng Shuxue wasn't entirely sure what was going on with Shi Xiaxia, but she was certain that Shen Qingqing had no good intentions!

Cheng Shuxue pretended nothing had happened and looked away.

Shen Qingqing quickly lowered her head to hide her fear.

The look Cheng Shuxue gave her just now seemed to see right through her! She'll have to be more careful from now on!

"You don't need to worry about who I find to take a look."

Cheng Shuxue said calmly, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back now. I can take care of Qianqian here."

Shen Yi wanted to say something, but Tao Qing pulled her back, and in the end, the group left the ward together.

After they left, Cheng Shuxue sat down by the hospital bed, raised her hand and touched Liang Qianqian, her eyes full of heartache.

Although she had seen through Shen Qingqing's intentions, she still didn't quite understand who Shi Xiaxia was, or perhaps her daughter...

Was it really just a brief coma?

......

"This Cheng Shuxue!"

After leaving the hospital, Shen Yi couldn't help but say, "They're so arrogant! We were just trying to be helpful and show concern, and they just kicked us out!"

"Forget it!"

Tao Qing comforted her, "Everything depends on Madam Cheng's agreement to cooperate! Right now, she's the only one willing to cooperate with the Shen family!"

After Tao Qing finished speaking, Shen Yi looked up at Shen Yu with a guilty expression: "Yu, I'm so sorry that you've been wronged!"

Shen Yu shook his head.

Since the accident, although Cheng Shuxue was very angry and didn't want to deal with the Shen family anymore, she was also afraid of hurting Liang Qianqian's feelings.

Ultimately, she demanded that Shen Yu marry into the family; otherwise, they would not only refuse but also use this incident to suppress and retaliate against the Shen family.

Shen Yu was the first to agree. He knew he had to take responsibility for Liang Qianqian, no matter what Cheng Shuxue asked for.

Shen Yi was so angry that she even considered giving up.

On the one hand, Cheng Shuxue demanded that Shen Yu marry into the family; on the other hand, Cheng Shuxue portrayed the Shen family as utterly worthless, believing that everyone in the Shen family only cared about profit and had no feelings.

Shen Yi is still furious when she thinks about it.

The Shen family has always valued relationships the most! Otherwise, they wouldn't have given up on Shi Xiaxia and firmly chosen Shen Qingqing!

But it's too late to say anything now. For the sake of the Shen family's future, they have already agreed to Cheng Shuxue's conditions.

Shen Yi sighed, her gaze fixed firmly on the distance: "Once the Shen family gets through this difficult time and things gradually improve, I will find a way to talk to Madam Cheng again!"

Shen Qingqing glanced at Shen Yi but didn't say anything.

However, she was filled with contempt. Shen Yu had harmed her so badly, and she still wanted to leave the Shen family and enter a high-class family?!

Want beauty!

......

The next day, when Shi Xiaxia was having breakfast with several people, a capable woman in her forties came up to her.

Shi Xiaxia didn't even look up and said directly, "Wait until I finish eating."

The capable woman looked at Shi Xiaxia with a hint of shock, then replied, "Yes."

Then he stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Shi Xiaxia.

Qiao Zihao glanced at the capable woman. Although he had never met her, he could guess what had happened in the past few days.

So he said, "Xiaxia, shall I go with you later?!"

He was afraid that if the Shen family were also present, Shi Xiaxia would suffer.

"Okay." Shi Xiaxia agreed, there was nothing she couldn't let others see.

"That......."

Su Yueke had barely uttered a single word when Murong Quan stuffed a pastry into her mouth.

"Murong Quan! What are you doing!" Su Yueke spat out her food and glared at him.

"I'm letting you eat!" Murong Quan said with an innocent look.

After he finished speaking, he handed Su Yueke a piece of pastry and said, "Let's go to the amusement park later. I heard the haunted house here is really interesting!"

Su Yueke glared at Murong Quan again, then remained silent.

She knew, of course, that Murong Quan didn't want her to bother Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao, but she figured that having her one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

But now that Murong Quan had stopped her, she had lost the best opportunity to speak, and could only angrily take a bite of the pastry that Murong Quan had given her.

After Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao finished their meal at a leisurely pace, the capable woman anxiously led them outside and into a car to go to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the capable woman led them to the ward, opened the door for them, and then closed it again without entering the ward.

"Sit down." Cheng Shuxue, who hadn't slept all night, looked very listless.

Last night, she thought Liang Qianqian was just in a coma and the doctor assured her that she would wake up soon.

But she waited all night, and Liang Qianqian showed no reaction whatsoever. The doctors couldn't find anything useful either.

Cheng Shuxue then became frightened and, disregarding everything else, sent someone to fetch Shi Xiaxia.

Shi Xiaxia sat on the sofa, glanced at Liang Qianqian who was pale, and said directly, "I have a way to save her, but I have one condition."

Hearing Shi Xiaxia say this, Cheng Shuxue breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm not afraid of Shi Xiaxia making demands, I'm afraid of her not making demands at all!

Once the conditions were set, it became an exchange of interests between the two, so Cheng Shuxue was no longer worried that Shi Xiaxia would harm Liang Qianqian.

"I'll agree to anything as long as it saves Qianqian!" Cheng Shuxue immediately agreed.

Shi Xiaxia looked at Cheng Shuxue and slowly said, "I want the Liang family to not form a marriage alliance with the Shen family and not to provide the Shen family with any assistance!"

Cheng Shuxue was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, but she understood Shi Xiaxia's request and readily agreed: "Okay!"

Shi Xiaxia nodded slightly, and then began to talk about Liang Qianqian's situation.

"Miss Liang... let me tell you about her from the beginning."

Shi Xiaxia talked about her investigation during this period: "'Marrying the Sea God' is an event organized by a wizarding organization. They select girls with suitable birth charts to perform life-changing and life-extending rituals for wealthy people."

Whether what I've said is true or false, I believe Mrs. Cheng has her own ways of verifying it, so I won't elaborate.

Cheng Shuxue glanced at Liang Qianqian lying on the hospital bed, then asked anxiously, "Is there any way to save Qianqian?!"

“If I hadn’t intervened, after the life-swapping last night, Miss Liang’s anger would have been transferred to another person, and she would definitely be beyond saving.”

but......"

Shi Xiaxia paused for a moment before continuing, "I modified the formation, temporarily trapping the life force within it, which prevented last night's life-extending attempt from succeeding. All we need to do is retrieve the life force from the formation."
