Chapter 105: Angered into Hospitalization

Shi Yucheng is staying in Room 1226, Building 1 of Saint Mary Hospital.

Yingzi stands outside the ward looking in; Shi Yucheng is lying on the hospital bed motionless, and there is not a single caregiver in the room.

Jiang Yadan is in the doctor's office discussing follow-up treatment, originally intending for Shi Yuke to stay in the ward to look after her father, but she slipped home to hunt for the household register instead.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; Shi Yuke wants to take advantage of her father being away from home to hurry to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Sheng Yukai to get their marriage certificate, otherwise, it will be even harder to do once her father wakes up.

Jian Yining says to Yingzi, "Go in and look; it's fine. Put on this uniform, and no one will recognize you."

He found a nurse's white coat for Yingzi; Shi Yuke is not there, and Jiang Yadan will not recognize her.

"I'm afraid Dad might recognize me," Yingzi says, wanting to cry.

Last time at the funeral for Sheng Laoyezi, she barely managed to control herself, and this time she is even more afraid she will cry out.

"Fine, then you just watch from here; we'll leave after a while." Jian Yining is easygoing and will agree to anything; as long as Yingzi is happy, he doesn't mind.

Yingzi considers it and finally decides to go in to see her father.

She stands before her father's hospital bed, and her tears cannot help but fall in a rush; Dad has aged so much.

Although this hospitalization was caused by Shi Yuke making him angry, he has been worrying even more about her these past few days.

Every time Shi Youxuan sees her father, she is tortured by deep guilt and has the impulse to tell him immediately that his daughter is unfilial and has caused him to worry.

It is just that things would be more troublesome after saying it; where has she been these days?

Who has she been with?

Why is she no longer foolish?

If she were to say that Sheng Hanyu is also being kept in the dark by her, her father certainly wouldn't believe it and would still go make a scene.

And then there are Shi Yuke and Jiang Yadan; as long as she exposes her identity as Yingzi, the two of them will latch onto her like leeches in the future, and she won't be able to shake them off!

And how to explain things to Sheng Hanyu... there are so many troublesome matters she hasn't figured out how to resolve, so she still cannot speak.

Shi Youxuan takes a check out of her pocket and has just prepared to quietly tuck it under his pillow when Shi Yucheng wakes up!

The distance between the two is very close, and as soon as he opens his eyes, he sees a pair of eyes exactly like his second daughter's; he is so excited he immediately grabs her arm: "Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, have you come back? You finally came back; do you know how much Dad has missed you? I've searched for you so bitterly, sob, sob, sob..."

Shi Yucheng's face is covered in old tears as he grips her tightly and refuses to let go.

Seeing this at the door, Jian Yining rushes in to save the situation; he forcibly pulls the two apart and shields Yingzi behind him: "Mr. Shi, you've misunderstood. She is a new nurse at our hospital, not your daughter. Please don't be like this; our young lady is on her first day of work, please don't frighten her."

Yingzi thanks Jian Yining for saving the situation and turns to leave.

But Shi Yucheng won't have it; he shouts and yells for her not to leave, and disregarding Jian Yining's obstruction, he tries to come over to stop her.

It is just that he has only just regained consciousness and lacks the strength; he is unsteady when getting up and rolls off the bed.

"Dad, are you alright? How are you? Let me see if you've been hurt from the fall..." Yingzi runs back, nervously helping Shi Yucheng up, asking him repeatedly where it hurts and if she should call a doctor.

"Xuanxuan, my Xuanxuan, you've come back, you've finally come back..." Shi Yucheng hugs his daughter and cries bitterly; Yingzi cries too, and Jian Yining's eyes also well up with tears.

It is only after they have cried enough.

Yingzi sobs as she removes her mask and says to Shi Yucheng: "I'm sorry, I am not your daughter. I haven't had a father since I was little. I was just so moved by seeing you that I pretended to be your daughter; please don't be angry."

Shi Yucheng also stops crying, wipes the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, and looks carefully at Yingzi's face; it is indeed not Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan is much prettier than her.

It is just that apart from her face, everything else is almost the same—her build, her height, they are all about the same, especially her eyes, they are exactly the same!

And this girl looks quite familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere before.

"Young lady, have I seen you somewhere before?"

Shi Yucheng thinks earnestly, feeling he must have seen her, but he cannot remember exactly where.

Seeing this, Jian Yining hurriedly smooths things over: "Mr. Shi, you are just missing your daughter too much, which is why you recognized the wrong person. Young girls all look about the same; it's normal to feel she looks familiar."

Yingzi also hurriedly puts her mask back on; that was close, she was only a hair's breadth away from being exposed.

Shi Yucheng's mind is simple, and he doesn't have that many twists and turns.

With Jian Yining saying that, he believes it.

But he has a very good impression of this new little nurse, so he requests of Jian Yining: "Second Young Master, could you speak to the director and have this little nurse come by the ward to visit when she's free?"

"She is especially like my second daughter; I want to see her more often."

Jian Yining doesn't make a sound, looking at Yingzi first.

Yingzi nods slightly, and only then does he say to Shi Yucheng: "Sure, no problem."

From that day on, Yingzi, as a "Special Nurse," goes to the ward every day to talk to Shi Yucheng and comfort him.

Originally she was worried about being exposed if she saw Shi Yuke in the ward, but her worries were unnecessary; Shi Yuke stole the household register from home and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Sheng Yukai to register their marriage.

After registering, she worked tirelessly to help Sheng Yukai settle various troubles online and in reality, and simply had no time to visit him at the hospital.

After the two registered.

Shi Yuke finds her cousin Jiang Siwei and asks her if she wants to marry into a wealthy family?

Jiang Siwei nods wildly; she wants to, she dreams about it!

She has been Shi Yuke's follower since she was small, doing whatever Shi Yuke tells her to do, and now she naturally believes deeply in the "bright path" her cousin has pointed out for her.

Thus, that very day, Jiang Siwei became a "celebrity" in Jiangzhou City.

She voluntarily admits online that she was the one who found "The Rabbit Who Can Sell Cuteness," and that those photos online were also taken by her.

Her reason for doing this is simple: because she has admired Sheng Hanyu for a long time, she was especially angry to see him with another woman. If that woman were a match for him, that would be one thing, but she doesn't look like a match at all and yet calmly accepts two men being good to her; one look and it's clear her character is problematic...

Every word Jiang Siwei says is a script carefully prepared by Shi Yuke, and it is very inflammatory.

Shi Yuke does more than just this; she also reports Yingzi for stock manipulation to the Securities Regulatory Commission, claiming she engaged in irregular operations and disrupted market order.

She also takes the conditions issued by Dingsheng Group and submits them as evidence to the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce, inciting everyone to jointly boycott Dingsheng and Tianma Group.

Finally, she provides a very detailed explanation online for the pictures of Sheng Yukai wearing women's clothing.

She explains that Sheng Hanyu went to the Villa to seek reconciliation with Jian Yining, wanting to turn hostility into friendship, but was schemed against by the collusion of Jian Yining and Sheng Hanyu's butler. She severely slanders Sheng Yukai's reputation and demands a public apology from Jian Yining!

At the same time, she hires internet trolls to stir up the narrative online; for a time, public opinion reverses, and the onlookers all follow suit in blaming Dingsheng and Tianma for joining forces to bully others.

……

The Sheng Family Mansion.

The main hall was filled with a festive atmosphere, and Bai Xue's attitude toward Shi Yuke had undergone a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

She affectionately held her hand and praised her profusely, complimenting her on being smart, beautiful, sensible, capable, and having a good grasp of the big picture...

She even said she wanted to prepare a grand wedding for her and Sheng Yukai, insisting that the Sheng Family could not have a daughter-in-law enter the bridal chamber quietly like last time, as if that were the end of it!

These were all things Shi Yuke liked to hear, so naturally, she had no objections.

However, Bai Xue changed the subject; after finishing her flowery words, she began to plead poverty: "Yuke, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, so I'll tell you the truth."

"During this period of time, many things have happened to the Sheng Family, and for the moment, we cannot spare too much money, so could you see about waiving the bride price?"
