An Xin stomped her foot, "Su Qi! What are you being so arrogant about! What can you do if you're not convinced! You can't beat me!"
Su Qi ignored her and walked directly out of the office.
As soon as she stepped out, all her colleagues turned to look at her.
Su Qi walked to her workstation and simply packed her belongings.
She had only been working there for half a month, so she didn't have much to pack, just a few pens and a water cup.
Su Qi packed her few personal items, put them into her canvas bag, and left the company.
As soon as she got back into her car, her tense body instantly went limp.
Only in front of outsiders could she appear strong.
Because she was an orphan, she was even more afraid of others seeing her vulnerability.
So no matter how much she wanted to cry, she could only swallow her tears.
Only in a secluded corner could she indulge in crying her heart out.
Su Qi slept for a whole day. The next day, when she woke up, she picked up her phone intending to browse for jobs. To her surprise, all she saw were missed calls from Huang Ying and Yang Tianhao.
What was going on?
Su Qi called Huang Ying back.
As soon as the call connected, Huang Ying said with a smile, "Hurry back to work, you're almost late."
Su Qi was stunned for a moment, "Sister Ying, but I..."
Before Su Qi could finish, Huang Ying said, "I'm busy here, I'm hanging up now."
She heard the two beeps from the phone, and the call was disconnected.
What did this mean?
Didn't she resign yesterday?
Su Qi was confused, but she still washed up briefly and went out.
Because she wasn't sure what Huang Ying meant, Su Qi only took her phone with her.
As soon as she entered the company, her colleagues all looked over, but no one dared to discuss her.
"Xiao Su, you're finally here!"
Yang Tianhao, on the other hand, ran up to Su Qi with joy upon seeing her.
"That's great, An Xin's father was laid off for some reason, and even An Xin was fired. Sister Ying asked me to take over for you, but your phone was unreachable."
An Xin's father was laid off?
Su Qi felt a flicker of surprise in her heart.
Yesterday, she heard that An Xin's father was a veteran of the company and a capable subordinate. Huang Ying didn't have the authority to fire An Xin's father.
"It's like heaven itself can't stand An Xin. You don't know how smug she was yesterday, and then before the afternoon, she was fired. It's truly satisfying." Yang Tianhao couldn't stand people like An Xin.
Su Qi took a while to recover.
"Alright, Xiao Su, hurry back to your workstation and get to work. An Xin deserved it! She got her comeuppance."
Su Qi listened, but felt something was amiss. How could it be such a coincidence?
Meanwhile, at Ren Ai Hospital.
As soon as Xu Lin Yun got out of the car, she headed straight for the VIP ward.
During breakfast, she learned from Xu Lin Chuan that Huo Ting Yun had been hospitalized, so she rushed over in her car.
As soon as she entered the ward, she indeed saw the man lying on the hospital bed.
Xu Lin Yun's eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Huo Ting Yun's arms.
"Ting Yun, Brother Lin Chuan said you were bitten. Who bit you? Was it that wild cat from last time?"
Huo Ting Yun's phone was still connected to a call, and Xu Lin Yun entered without knocking.
By the time Huo Ting Yun reacted, Xu Lin Yun had already thrown herself entirely into his arms.
Huo Ting Yun hung up the phone and placed it on the bedside table. "I pulled my back."
Xu Lin Yun pouted, "Ting Yun, when are you going to finalize the divorce? I've been waiting for you for so long."
"Father's health is not good now, and you know that the old man and Father like Su Qi."
What was said without intention was taken to heart by the listener.
Xu Lin Yun naturally knew of the old man's affection for Su Qi.
She had thought that once the old man passed away, she could smoothly marry Huo Ting Yun...
Speaking of which, she had visited the Huo family so many times, but she had never met Huo Ting Yun's father.
Since the weekend was just around the corner, Xu Lin Yun bought some fruit and flowers and went to the hospital where Huo Qing Rang was staying.
Although Huo Qing Rang was staying in a public hospital, it was the best suite in the hospital, and he had dedicated attendants.
When Xu Lin Yun arrived, she knocked on the door and saw Su Qi inside.
Su Qi was speaking softly to the middle-aged man on the hospital bed. Upon hearing the knock, she stopped and looked up at Xu Lin Yun.
This was the second time Xu Lin Yun had seen Su Qi since the last time at the Huo family's residence.
Su Qi was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans today, her hair tied in a ponytail.
Her entire demeanor was like the diamond ring Huo Ting Yun had given her that day.
Simple and elegant, yet dazzling.
"Dad, I came to see you, I didn't expect Sister Su Qi to be here too."
Last time she went to the Huo family, Qin Xue had already asked Xu Lin Yun to call her Mom.
Moreover, with Su Qi present, Xu Lin Yun didn't know why, but she blurted out calling Huo Qing Rang "Dad."
The two people in the ward were clearly stunned.
Huo Qing Rang's expression immediately turned grim, and he was about to lash out.
Su Qi held Huo Qing Rang's hand, "Dad, Lin Yun and Ting Yun have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, like siblings. It's normal for her to call you Dad."
Huo Qing Rang was in the hospital and didn't know about her and Huo Ting Yun's impending divorce.
Su Qi was also afraid that telling him would worsen his condition.
Now that Huo Qing Rang's health had finally stabilized, he couldn't be stimulated further.
Xu Lin Yun, though simple-minded, understood what Su Qi meant and no longer felt embarrassed to call him Dad, changing her address.
"Uncle Huo, Ting Yun is in the hospital. I came to see you on behalf of Ting Yun."
Xu Lin Yun wanted to place the fruit and flower baskets on the bedside table, but found that Su Qi's purchased nutritional supplements and a thermos of chicken soup were already there.
There was no space, so she had to place both the fruit and flower baskets on the floor.
Huo Ting Yun is in the hospital?
"What's wrong with this kid again?" Huo Qing Rang frowned.
His only son, he had many ideas and acted domineeringly since he was young.
"They say he was bitten by something and got injured," Xu Lin Yun replied truthfully.
Pfft...
Su Qi choked on her saliva, coughed violently, and her face turned red.
"Sister Su Qi, are you feeling unwell?" Xu Lin Yun asked with concern, noticing Su Qi's unusual complexion.
"No, it's nothing," Su Qi waved her hand.
It seemed she had indeed kicked Huo Ting Yun and injured him that day.
"Take some time to see your husband. The old man is gone, and I hope you two can continue to live well."
Huo Qing Rang patted Su Qi's hand and said, as if no one else was present.
Xu Lin Yun, standing beside them, felt a surge of grievance hearing Huo Qing Rang say this.
Unable to contain herself, Xu Lin Yun couldn't help but say, "Mr. Huo, actually..."
"Cough, cough, Dad, your health isn't good, so don't worry too much about these things. Ting Yun and I are adults, we know what we're doing."
Su Qi coughed twice, interrupting Xu Lin Yun.
For the next ten minutes, Huo Qing Rang continued to talk to Su Qi, completely ignoring Xu Lin Yun.
Xu Lin Yun felt awkward and left the ward, her eyes immediately turning red.
Just then, Xu Lin Chuan called. Xu Lin Yun answered, her voice a little choked.
As soon as Xu Lin Chuan hung up the phone, he pushed open the door and entered Huo Ting Yun's ward.
The man's body's recovery speed was extremely fast.
He was originally expected to rest for a week, but it was only the second day, and he had almost recovered.
Xu Lin Chuan walked in, silent, and lit a cigarette.
