"Dad, this really has nothing to do with me. I didn't participate in it. So, I…"
"Enough!" Mu Zhanghan impatiently cut her off. "Whether you did it or not, you were the one who initiated it! You have to take responsibility for it! Otherwise, don't come back to the Mu family!"
Mu Ronyao gritted her teeth and nodded, enduring the three blows from Mu Zhanghan's cane without making a sound.
Watching him leave, she suddenly slapped herself hard and collapsed to the ground, crying…
How could this happen?
How could this happen?!
How could Aurora Tech Group have contact with Huangda Group? She had been in charge of this business all along. Three days ago, she hadn't been able to sign the contract and had even made a special phone call…
In her panic, she suddenly thought of Qin Weiying and lifted her head sharply!
It was her.
It had to be her!
Because of the affair being exposed, Qin Weiying wanted to take away her power!
Qin Weiying and Mu Ronyao had been college friends. She had even hired her as her assistant!
Qin Weiying came from an ordinary family. Apart from her looks, she had almost no strengths.
After graduating, she couldn't find a decent job. It was Mu Ronyao who had taken her in and taught her business step by step!
She must have used everything she learned from her to contact Huangda Group!
Qin Weiying was using the very methods Mu Ronyao had taught her against her!
After figuring it out, Mu Ronyao wiped her tears with her sleeve, quickly stood up, and ran out.
She remembered that Qin Weiying lived in the obstetrics and gynecology ward just upstairs!
Ignoring her disheveled appearance, she rushed barefoot into the elevator.
Upstairs, in the private clinic, Li Rongrong looked distracted.
It was because of her interest in Ye Xuanchen that she had fought for this position. He had once been her brother's patient. Despite her deliberate softness and flirtation, Ye Xuanchen remained unmoved.
Li Rongrong had once thought he treated everyone the same way, leaving her hopeful.
But now, Ye Xuanchen clearly seemed interested in another woman.
"Is it not better yet?" Ye Xuanchen frowned slightly, tapping the table when he saw her zoning out.
Li Rongrong snapped back to her senses and hurriedly finished the medical record.
"There is a reaction to people, but you still need regular check-ups. After all… you don't have feelings for every woman."
Ye Xuanchen casually set the medical record aside and left without responding.
If it weren't for his father's insistence that he "get better," he wouldn't have wasted time here.
As he exited the clinic, planning to leave directly, he caught sight of a white figure rushing out of the elevator.
He looked ahead.
It was Mu Ronyao.
Her face was pale, her hospital gown disheveled, and she was running barefoot, frantically searching as though looking for someone.
Ye Xuanchen frowned.
What was she doing here?
Qin Weiying leaned against the hospital bed, holding the pigeon ginseng soup Lin Chengyi had bought, sipping it slowly.
Lin Chengyi gently stroked her hair.
"Drink slowly. It's all yours. No one's taking it from you."
Qin Weiying pouted coquettishly. "But it's not the first time you've bought it for me. I'm just happy."
Lin Chengyi laughed, unconcerned by the oil stain on her lips. He leaned in and kissed her.
"Don't worry. From now on, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
Aurora Tech Group was originally just a small company. Even with Mu Ronyao's help, it was only a slightly well-known startup.
The cooperation with Huangda Group had merely been a small favor the Mu family had extended. Though profitable, it wasn't significant.
Lin Chengyi hadn't thought much of it before.
But this time with Qin Weiying's help he signed a three-billion-yuan contract in one move.
What did that mean?
A net profit of one billion yuan just like that.
Lin Chengyi had already been satisfied with Qin Weiying's body. Now that he saw her value, he cherished her even more.
Sensing his admiration, Qin Weiying curled her lips smugly.
All these years, she had stayed close to Mu Ronyao just to seize all the resources and connections under her control!
Whatever Mu Ronyao could do
She, Qin Weiying, could do better!
Just as she was basking in pride, hurried footsteps echoed outside.
"Who's running around outside the VIP ward?" Qin Weiying complained.
Lin Chengyi comforted her and stood up.
"I'll go take a look. Drink your soup. People have no manners these days running around in hospitals…"
As he opened the door, Mu Ronyao happened to be passing by.
Her eyes were red, fists clenched tightly.
Seeing her like this, Lin Chengyi instinctively stepped back.
"Ronyao, what are you doing here?"
Mu Ronyao looked at him, her eyes turning even redder. She stepped forward and slapped him hard.
Lin Chengyi, already feeling guilty, was stunned then furious.
He grabbed her shoulders and slammed her against the wall.
"Mu Ronyao, what are you trying to do?!"
He liked obedient women. Mu Ronyao's anger disgusted him.
There was no tenderness at all.
Mu Ronyao had come full of rage, but how could her strength compare to his?
Pinned down and yelled at, she froze, tears spilling instantly.
"Lin Chengyi, I should be asking you that!"
"I've given you everything all these years! I even managed the company for you! How can you treat me like this?!"
"How have I treated you?"
Hearing this, Lin Chengyi realized the Huangda Group matter truly wasn't clean.
Since the beginning, he had always been passive Mu Ronyao handled everything.
This cooperation really was unethical…
Just as Lin Chengyi was about to relent
Qin Weiying rushed out.
Her face instantly filled with innocence and concern.
"Why did you come up like this?" she asked softly. "What happened?"
Seeing Qin Weiying's expression, Mu Ronyao shoved Lin Chengyi aside
And slapped Qin Weiying hard across the face.
