She broke free from the bodyguard and tried to win the old lady's sympathy, saying, "Grandma... Old Madam, Jie Jie is still young, and there's no one in the Xie family to take care of him now. Let me take care of him. Old Madam, you have the kindest heart. Children need their mothers, and children cannot be without their mothers..."
"Is that so?" The old lady didn't have the energy to argue with her. "So you understand these principles now? Then why did you give up custody of Jie Jie! In your heart, the child isn't that important. As for Jie Jie, someone will take good care of him, so you don't need to worry. Leave quickly! Xie Group is not a place for you."
Sasha knew that pretending in front of this old woman was useless. She said resentfully, "Believe it or not, Jie Jie is the most important to me. Just you wait, all of you."
She was at a loss for what else to do, so she had to leave Xie Group for now, but this place would sooner or later be hers and her child's.
Several bodyguards followed her out of the conference room.
The old lady of the Xie family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had arrived in time and did not let Yang Shasha succeed, stabilizing the current situation of Xie Group.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?" Lian Ma saw that the old lady was somewhat weak after relaxing and was about to fall to one side. She quickly supported her.
The old lady leaned on Lian Ma's arm to steady herself and said, "I'm fine, I just feel a bit weak and my head is still a little dizzy."
"Could it be your blood pressure is high again?" Lian Ma asked worriedly. "I'll call the doctor from the car."
The old lady quickly said, "No, absolutely do not let the doctor come to the group. I told you I'm fine, let me rest for a while. You can help me walk back to the car slowly later."
"Okay." Lian Ma knew the old lady's health condition best; she was already plagued by illness.
The old lady had hardening of the arteries in her cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, as well as high blood pressure. Coupled with her advanced age, she was entirely reliant on various medications and nutrient drips to maintain herself in the nursing home.
If she hadn't received the news and been forced to, she wouldn't have rushed to the group to take charge.
She could only hope that Young Master Zhendong would wake up soon. The old lady's health condition did not allow her to stay in charge of the group for too long; she might not be able to hold on sooner or later.
...
When Feng Rou learned that Xie Zhendong and Zhan Jiayi had met with an accident, she opened a bottle of foreign liquor and drank the entire bottle alone at home. The potent liquor took effect, and she ran around the house crying and laughing. The two maids in Feng Yan's house kept chasing her, trying to calm her down, but they couldn't catch her. She felt as if she were back in the psychiatric hospital, being chased by doctors and nurses. In her drunken state, she thought that this time they definitely wouldn't catch her.
In the evening, Feng Yan and his wife returned home and saw the living room in disarray. Feng Rou hid behind a chair, tears on her face, but she was疯笑ing at the maids, "Haha, you can't catch me, I won't let you catch me!"
Feng Yan's face darkened. His wife loudly said to the maids, "What are you doing? How can you treat Third Miss like this?"
The two maids saw them and stopped chasing Feng Rou, immediately coming before them. One explained, "Sir, Madam, Third Miss drank a whole bottle of liquor today and started acting crazy in the house for some reason. We were just trying to get her to rest, afraid she might hurt herself."
Feng Yan had already seen the bottle of liquor lying on the ground and sighed, "Third sister stayed in the psychiatric hospital for too long, has she really gone mad?"
"You go to the study first. I'll try to persuade her," his wife said to the two maids. "Stop chasing her and tidy up the living room."
"Yes, Madam."
Feng Yan cast another helpless glance at Feng Rou and went to the study. As the maids tidied up, his wife slowly walked towards Feng Rou, smiling and saying, "Third sister, I'm Second Sister-in-law. You've had too much to drink. This is home, not a psychiatric hospital. No one wants to catch you."
"Home? I'm at home?" Feng Rou stopped running and looked at her second sister-in-law.
Feng Yan's wife nodded quickly.
"No, this isn't my home. My home isn't like this!" Feng Rou looked around.
Feng Yan's wife tried to approach her cautiously, saying, "Yes, this isn't your home. It's your second brother's home. You're staying at our house today, and you can go back to your own home tomorrow, okay?"
Feng Rou said "oh" and didn't resist her second sister-in-law approaching her. Feng Yan's wife seized the opportunity to take her arm and said, "Third sister, you've been drinking. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
Feng Rou felt a little more sober and hummed in agreement, allowing her second sister-in-law to help her back to her room. Then, remembering something, she started laughing happily, "Do you know, Xie Zhendong and that woman are getting their comeuppance? They're getting their comeuppance!"
"I know, they deserve it." Second Sister-in-law agreed. "Lie down for a bit, I'll get you a glass of water."
Feng Rou collapsed onto the bed, seemingly laughing and crying happily.
Second Sister-in-law poured the water, sighed, and returned to her bedside. She found Feng Rou sleeping on her side, her clothes unchanged, only covered by a quilt. She sat up, clutching her forehead, feeling a severe headache. She remembered drinking a lot of alcohol and then getting drunk. She seemed to have vented fiercely after getting drunk, but she couldn't remember the specifics.
She calmed down and reached for the water cup by the bed, finding the water cold. She still forced herself to take a sip. Looking at the news online about Xie Zhendong and Xie Group again, she felt something was strange. How could desperadoes attack Xie Zhendong and Zhan Jiayi like this? If Xie Zhendong were truly dead now, her plan to have her cousin help her take over Xie Group would be in vain. If Xie Zhendong died, the legal heir, Jie Jie, was too young to manage such a large group, and Xie Group would inevitably fall into chaos. And Sasha, as Jie Jie's mother, would legitimately enter Xie Group. Would she become the person in charge of Xie Group?
Feng Rou realized that Xie Zhendong and Zhan Jiayi's accident was likely caused by Sasha. She had warned Sasha long ago not to mess around, but she hadn't expected Sasha to still act recklessly, completely disregarding her words. Feng Rou had never realized Sasha had such great ambition before, only thinking she was an aging celebrity trying to latch onto a wealthy family. It was only because she had启宁's child that she agreed to let 启宁 marry her, thinking that a woman like Sasha, married into the Xie family and enjoying lifelong wealth and status, would be satisfied. She never expected Sasha to want Xie Group.
At this time, she needed to find out the internal situation of Xie Group. She also didn't know how Xie Zhendong's injuries were. Xie Zhendong absolutely could not die so easily. She hadn't let him taste true heartache yet! She wanted him to live well, so that she could personally take revenge on him!
