Chapter 140: Don't play this game with me

~7 min read 1,349 words

"Xi'er!"

Seeing his sister crushed by the huge light frame, Shi Heng's heart tightened, and he rushed forward in a stride.

The surrounding staff quickly moved the light frame off Shi Xi, and Shi Heng squatted down to hold his sister, "Xi'er, are you okay?!"

Shi Xi forced a weak smile:

"Brother, I'm fine... Brother Hao Bei... how is he..."

The bright red blood line at the corner of Shi Xi's mouth stung Shi Heng's eyes. He gritted his teeth and turned to look. Qin Hao Bei was standing not far away, safe and sound, arms crossed, looking down at him as if he were an outsider who had nothing to do with it.

"Xi'er, how could you be so stupid?!" Shi Heng's heart ached fiercely, and he decisively ordered those around him.

"Call 120, call an ambulance!"

"Also, seal the scene and let all the reporters leave!"

However, it was already too late.

The scene of the Shi Group's product launch suffering a sudden danger and a girl being crushed by a light frame while trying to save someone had already been broadcast live across the entire internet through countless cameras at the scene.

Major platforms were in an uproar, and soon someone recognized the two protagonists in the accident.

"This girl is the daughter of the Shi Group, Shi Xi! She is so brave... how painful must that be!"

"That man is the young master of the Qin family, Qin Hao Bei!"

"She must love him very much... I heard that the daughter of the Shi family hasn't married yet because she has been waiting for someone, so that person is the young master of the Qin family!"

"However, the two are a talented and beautiful couple, a match made in heaven!"

"What talented and beautiful couple, I think it's a beautiful woman and a talented man... The daughter of the Shi family is a dancer, very talented! I've even seen her perform."

"Yes, yes, she even appeared on the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala a few days ago, I'll go review it later."

These comments leading the rhythm online were, of course, not ordinary netizens, but internet water armies hired by Shi Xi in advance.

For this moment today, she had been preparing for a long time.

Outside the phone screen, Shi Yi sighed helplessly, then closed the screen with a "bang" and exited the live broadcast.

Although she didn't have any "ulterior motives" toward her brother.

But words like "match made in heaven" and "talented and beautiful couple" still stung her eyes.

She could almost be certain that this was a play directed and acted by Shi Xi.

Just didn't know if her brother...

Would really be fooled by that woman's acting!

In the hospital ward, Shi Xi slowly opened her eyes.

Shi Zhenyuan, Liu Wanxin, and Shi Heng were all sitting in front of her bed, looking at her with full worry.

"Dad, Mom... and Brother..."

Liu Wanxin's eyes were full of heartache, and her eyes were red, gently stroking Shi Xi's forehead:

"Xi'er, you're awake? Does it still hurt?"

Shi Xi smiled reluctantly: "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Still don't worry, you broke a rib! Fortunately, it didn't hurt your internal organs, otherwise, your life would be in danger! My Xi'er, how could you do such a stupid thing..."

"I... I didn't know such a thing would happen... cough cough..."

Shi Xi said while coughing: "At that moment, I didn't think much, seeing Brother Hao Bei in danger, I just... just..."

"Hey, do you still like Qin Hao Bei in your heart?" Shi Zhenyuan asked.

Shi Xi's eyes turned red, tears swirled in her eyes, but she didn't speak.

Seeing her daughter looking so aggrieved, Shi Zhenyuan's heart suddenly flared with anger.

"The Qin family is simply too unreasonable! Three years ago, I proposed a blind date with the Qin family, and the Qin family said their son was abroad and told me to wait for news. As a result, we waited for three whole years! Their family didn't even give a formal reply! They simply don't take our Shi family seriously!"

"Dad, because of Second Sister's reason, the Qin family might not like me..."

"I don't care what that rebellious child Shi Yi said to the Qin family to badmouth you. Today, you saved that boy's life in front of everyone! I must have the Qin family give me an explanation!"

Shi Zhenyuan said, and was about to go to the Qin family to settle the score aggressively, but was pulled by the arm by Shi Heng.

"Dad, don't get excited, I'll communicate with the Qin family about Xi'er's matter first."

"You wait for me here for a while."

Shi Heng said, turned and walked out of the ward, and called Qin Hao Bei in the stairwell:

"Hello, is this Qin Hao Bei? Where are you?"

A relaxed and lazy voice came from the other side: "Buying vegetables at the vegetable market, what's wrong?"

Shi Heng listened carefully, and the noisy background sound came from the other side. That kid Qin Hao Bei was actually buying vegetables at the vegetable market!

"My sister saved your life! She is still lying in the hospital, and you have the heart to buy vegetables outside?"

"Which sister are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Shi Heng was suddenly furious.

"Qin Hao Bei, are you still a human?! Even if it were a stranger, because they were injured saving you, you should go to the hospital to take a look, right? She had a rib broken!"

"Heh, broke a rib? Shouldn't you go to the organizer of the conference to ask for accountability? Why are you calling me? Oh, by the way, I forgot, the organizer of this product launch is your Shi Group, sorry..."

"Qin Hao Bei!"

Shi Heng roared angrily, "Is my sister's feeling for you really something you don't know at all?! Are you really going to be so heartless to her?"

Qin Hao Bei laughed:

"President Shi, sorry, I'm really not familiar with your sister. However, I know a thing or two about what she has done... I heard that she has liked playing with various dangerous things since she was a child, such as laser pointers, and such as... lighters."

Shi Heng's face turned pale instantly.

It seemed that the secret the Shi family had hidden for many years had already been known clearly by this person.

Immediately after, Qin Hao Bei's playful voice came from the other side:

"Since your sister likes dangerous goods so much, who knows, maybe this time she took a fancy to that strange-looking light frame herself and wanted to take it down..."

"Qin, what do you mean? Are you saying this accident was directed and acted by my sister?! Don't push your luck!"

Qin Hao Bei's voice also became cold and decisive:

"Shi Heng, you are the one pushing your luck! You asked me to participate in this product launch, and I have given you enough face! Something like this happened, and I haven't asked you for mental damage compensation yet! What face do you have to say these words here! And... "

"The water armies leading the rhythm online were also hired by your Shi family, right! Daring to play this game with me, Qin Hao Bei, I think you are tired of living! President Shi, don't forget... what I warned you about in the cinema!"

Beep, beep, beep——

The phone was hung up quickly. Shi Heng was unwilling, and when he turned his head to look, Shi Xi was standing not far away.

The conversation just now had been heard clearly by Shi Xi...

"Xi'er..."

Shi Heng walked over and patted Shi Xi's shoulder with heartache.

Shi Xi's face was pale, and she smiled reluctantly.

"Brother, it doesn't matter, I know Brother Hao Bei doesn't like me, it's me who is too useless. I will be like Second Sister in the future, independent, strong, and mature... to make Brother Hao Bei look at me differently."

"Brother, believe me, I will work hard." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
