Repaying With Marriage

The two people had bulging bags on their backs. Standing there from head to toe, they looked very inconspicuous, but they also made people feel weird.

They did not come close to go through the security check. When one of them noticed Deputy Director Xu looking towards them, he took out a pack of cigarettes and was about to smoke one. The nurse who approached next to him advised him not to smoke in the hospital. From a distance, Go, as if pestering the nurse to ask where the smoking room is, the nurse helplessly pointed in the direction of the end of the corridor on this floor, and the two people nodded and left seemingly naturally.

Having worked in this industry for a long time, I am generally very alert and sensitive to the existence of certain things. Director Xu took another look at the scene and saw that the two people had already entered the smoking room. He was sure that they were not planning to take secret photos. Shi Su's media reporter finally withdrew his gaze, but still walked behind Shi Su and tried to block her.

"Mr. Shi is in the V06 ward?" Shi Su asked after getting through the security check and taking back his ID.

The nurse on the side saw the word "Shi Su" written on her ID card and nodded: "Yes, but the V06 ward is an intensive care unit. Only one family member can be admitted at a time. There are currently other family members here. Miss Shi may still be there." We have to wait outside, we can’t go in to visit right away.”

"Ok, I see."

Shi Su walked in that direction while talking.

After Deputy Director Xu passed the security check, he glanced behind him again. The two people did not come out of the smoking room again. He felt that he was probably too worried. Even if Shi Su showed up in the hospital, it was only to visit the elderly at home. I, even if I am photographed, it has no selling point, and it is not worth it for the paparazzi to sneak in and take photos secretly through various levels of connections.

Besides, even if it is really photographed and exposed, it will only be said that Shi Su did not forget his filial piety after work and took time to come back to visit his grandfather. Although there have been rumors outside that Shi Su and the Shi family are not getting along, this can just break the disagreement. The rumors can be regarded as positive publicity.

Even if he is photographed, what will happen?

Shi Su is indeed a very dedicated artist. It can be seen from the conversation when we first met today. The gossip that usually spreads in the circle should not be listened to. Such a girl who behaves and talks openly, No wonder the director was very fond of her after working with her.

Shi Su had already walked outside the door of Mr. Shi's ward.

It is indeed a key intensive care unit, but it is also one of the VIP wards in the largest and most authoritative hospital in the imperial capital. You don’t have to go out of your way to see the environment inside, you know it will be good. There are at least five nurses waiting outside the ward. While sitting, there were several other members of the Shi family or relatives and friends who were talking in low voices outside. When they saw Shi Su coming over, some of them looked surprised and didn't seem to recognize him. Two more people recognized Shi Su. , but obviously did not expect that she would come.

Across the outside of the intensive care unit was a glass wall that was not very big but had a good view. When I saw him, he was lying on the hospital bed inside. There were instruments clamped or attached to his fingers and body everywhere. There are several threads and thin tubes inserted into the body, and they are lightly covered with quilts. It is difficult to see where they are, but from this point of view, they are indeed very weak. The various instruments in the ward show the time. The old man's body monitors data in real time.

Seeing this scene, Shi Su's eyes paused, and for a moment she remembered that more than 20 years ago, when she was only a few years old, she stood in the ward and saw her mother, who was also covered in tubes, lying motionless on the hospital bed. Until passed away.

What was she thinking at that time.

She was only a few years old, not even five years old.

She already knew that her mother's death was related to Shi Lengkang and the woman beside him.

The Shi family, this place that had given her nightmares since she was a child, and where she had never lived a normal day, she never wanted to have any contact with her again in her life.

Family ties and blood ties, for her, only Shi Mianmian was her closest blood relative, and the others had nothing to do with her.

Looking at the face of Mr. Shi when he was sleeping, he was originally a very thin and tall old man. It can be seen that he had a good figure and appearance when he was young, but now his cheekbones are sunken and his face is sallow due to the pain. People feel tired and exhausted.

If an old man reaches this state, he might actually suffer less if he leaves early.

But he is Mr. Shi after all. The question now is not whether he wants to leave, but whether the Shi family can let him go before all the "problems" are solved.

The turmoil in the Imperial Capital business district is absolutely extraordinary, and every change will be noticed by these people with a keen sense of smell.

Just like now, Shi Su just came back to take one last look at the old man, but the eyes of the people behind her were already staring straight through her back.

"The one inside is Director He." Assistant Director Xu walked up behind Shi Su and said, "I guess Director He has been here for a while, and it was finally his turn to go in, but it looks like the old man is already unconscious. It’s been a long time and I haven’t been able to communicate normally.”

Shi Su looked at the situation in the ward for a while and said nothing. He only turned around and gave Deputy Director Xu a look, meaning to ask him what he wanted to bring to Director He and whether she could help him get it in later.

Deputy Director Xu took out a stack of information wrapped in brown paper from the briefcase he was carrying and showed it to her: "Director He should be coming out soon. I'll bring it to him later. If you want to go in, just go in later." , Hejima and I will discuss the program later, and he doesn’t know you have signed yet.”

Shi Su looked back and saw that Director He seemed to be aware of the eyes from outside. He turned around and looked outside. When he saw Shi Su and Deputy Director Xu, his eyes lit up. He was very happy to see Shi Su here, even in the ward. Li Su made a silent gesture to Shi Su, meaning that he would come out immediately.

Shi Su nodded.

"Shi Su." Suddenly, someone spoke from behind.

She turned around and saw a man in his thirties who had been outside the ward door. Wearing myopia glasses that looked elegant, he greeted her politely: "I am Shi Xiangchao. I didn’t expect that our first meeting would be here, you can call me Brother Xiang Chao.”

"Brother?" Shi Su seemed to be smiling, but there was not much emotion in his eyebrows, and the smile did not reach his eyes: "I have lived for twenty-six years, and I never knew that I had so many brothers. Why did you suddenly get another brother?"

Shi Xiangchao didn't feel any displeasure because of the insinuation in her tone. He just chuckled very gentlemanly and said: "It is indeed very presumptuous, and it is indeed the first time we meet. I am Grandpa Shi's cousin and grandnephew. I just met him last year." After returning from abroad, my uncle, your father Shi Lengkang, and I have been working together in the imperial capital for more than a year. You don't know my origin, but I have heard a lot about you."
