Dad Han's heart was also breaking.
He thought he had entrusted his trust to soone, only to find that they had betrayed it—and they even wanted his life.
Han Xuei no longer resembled the little girl he rembered; she had changed completely, and it was terrifying.
Such a young woman harbored such heavy intentions and even sched for wealth and murder; she was truly without fault.
"Dad, if you continue like this, no one will be able to help you. Regarding my cousin's affairs, Lin Yi said he would help us resolve them, so there's no need for you to worry anymore. Given your condition, I doubt you're able to go back, so just focus on recuperating in the hospital. Don't ddle in future matters anymore, and don't disrupt Lin Yi's judgnt," she said.
It seed to be the first ti Lin Yi had seen Han Xuewei so resolute, exuding an air of a master strategist.
Lin Yi felt as if Han Xuewei had grown up a bit.
As the two were discussing, Han Xuei suddenly burst in, wearing a look of feigned concern on her face.
She seed very worried as she called for Dad, but in reality, she was not; she was only concerned about whether the old man was dead.
"Dad Han, what on earth happened to you? I rushed over as soon as I got the ssage, I'm so sorry, I was delayed because of the traffic jam, Brother Lin Yi, please tell , what happened to Dad?"
At this mont, Han Xuei completely ignored Han Xuewei beside her, focusing all her attention on Lin Yi.
Shouldn't she be most concerned about Dad Han at this ti?
Shouldn't she be tending to Dad Han's bedside, offering comfort? Why had she run to Lin Yi's side instead?
"Han Xuei, I rember making myself very clear before. If you continue like this, I really can't guarantee how much longer I can tolerate you, and right now, the person you should be most concerned about ought to be Dad Han," Lin Yi said coldly as he pushed Han Xuei away and walked to Han Xuewei's side.
Han Xuei's face darkened instantly, but she quickly recovered.
With teary eyes, she walked to Dad Han's bed, but to her surprise, Dad Han did not even spare her a glance.
Although Han Xuei was taken aback, she knew the show must go on.
"I know, Dad Han, are you upset with because I didn't arrive in ti? It was really because of the traffic that I got here late. I closed the hotel imdiately after receiving the ssage and rushed back. Dad Han, I'm really sorry and I apologize. Please let take care of you at the hospital for the next while, alright?"
Han Xuei forced a strong smile, as if now she was the one who had been bullied all along.
Dad Han continued not to utter a word, leaving Han Xuei extrely embarrassed.
She thought to herself.
Why isn't the old man saying anything?
Usually, as soon as she acted coquettishly, the old man would imdiately yield.
Why isn't he responding now? Could it be that the old man has discovered her true nature?
That won't do, her plan was not yet complete.
Moreover, the poison was a slow-acting one. If he allowed the old man to recover now, how would he carry out his subsequent plans?
"Dad Han, can you say a few words to , please? You're really scaring . You won't ignore forever, will you? Are you angry with ? What if I apologize? I'll make your favorite dishes for you.
Apart from you, I have no other family left in this world!"
As she spoke, Han Xuei started to cry, and she played the sympathy card as well.
Han Xuewei knew that Dad Han couldn't stand to see Han Xuei cry in front of him; he always felt he should take good care of her.
"Alright, stop crying. I'm not blaming you. I was just thinking about what to say. My body is quite weak, so I'd prefer not to speak much. If you want to take care of during this ti, then stay here. Don't trouble others.
The hotel can be left to Lin Yi and Han Xuewei for now. They are your sister and brother-in-law, so you can rest assured."
Dad Han, in just a few words, had made Han Xuei relinquish her managerial authority, and her face turned ugly on the spot.
What is this old man thinking?
How could he actually let her hand over the managerial rights? How could this be acceptable?
She was only making a perfunctory gesture, yet the old man truly agreed to it.
"It's not that I don't want to hand over the managent, but my sister and brother-in-law have their own affairs to attend to. If they manage the hotel, they might be too busy to cope. Dad Han, could it be that you don't have confidence in ? Or do you think I haven't been managing it well recently?"
Han Xuei put on a troubled expression that almost convinced everyone she genuinely cared for the hotel.
In reality, she was just trying to carry out her plan. This woman had truly lost all sense of morality.
Right at that mont, Director Zhao called Han Xuei.
Han Xuei couldn't continue her act any longer, so she just gave a forced smile to everyone and slipped out to answer the call.
Lin Yi, being cautious, went outside and eavesdropped on Han Xuei's phone conversation.
He always suspected there was a connection between Han Xuei and Director Zhao.
"Baby, the man you asked to deal with—who exactly is he? How does he have our company's upgraded formula for the special dicine? Could there have been a mistake? A person like him shouldn't have the chance to co into contact with you, right?"
Director Zhao now treated Han Xuei as his plaything and didn't care about the way he talked to her. Continue your journey with empire
Han Xuei was repulsed, but she had to suppress her feelings.
It seed that Director Zhao had already t Lin Yi.
"Director Zhao, please don't be fooled by his words. He doesn't have any upgraded special dicine! That man is the biggest liar. He's just trying to scare you off. Whatever you do, don't fall for it. Moreover, Director Zhao, if you can't even fulfill my request or achieve it, I cannot be with you.
I've given so much; you can't let walk away with nothing."
Han Xuei's eyes were practically rolling back in her head.
This old man, not having helped her accomplish her task, was still longing for her body; how shaless could he get?
Without completing the task, Han Xuei would never give herself to an old man.
She still harbored dreams of attaching herself to a wealthy man and marrying into a wealthy family.
"Xue i, why are you talking so heartlessly? I'm in the midst of figuring things out. And I didn't expect that man to be so hard to deal with either. Give a few more days, will you?"
