Chapter 109: Divide and Conquer

The Securities Regulatory Commission is no longer pursuing Yingzi, and the others in the Chamber of Commerce do not agree with going against Sheng Hanyu either; now only Jiang Siwei is left, and in fact, it doesn't matter whether one pays attention to her or not.

But Yingzi still suggests that Sheng Hanyu invite Jiang Siwei to dinner; after all, one cannot let them cause such big trouble and then let the person who caused the trouble hide behind the scenes to watch the show, right?

Since she started the trouble, she shouldn't be afraid of the trouble finding its way to her.

"Let him invite her."

Sheng Hanyu points at Jian Yining: "He is the most suitable for this kind of thing; I wouldn't know how."

"Why am I the most suitable?" Jian Yining refuses: "The person she likes is you; it's useless for me to go."

"Right, Young Master Sheng, you should just go. The girl did this because of you, so you are the most suitable to step forward; no one else is appropriate." Yun Zhehao joins in the teasing.

"Fine, I'll go."

When Jiang Siwei receives the call from Sheng Hanyu's Secretary saying that the Chairman wants to invite her to dinner to discuss matters, her excited scream almost blows the roof off!

After hanging up, she rolls on the bed a few times, then jumps down to open her wardrobe and rummage for clothes to wear on the date.

Because Sheng Hanyu's Secretary said the Chairman wants to invite her to dinner, she automatically categorizes it as a date.

Half an hour early.

Jiang Siwei arrives at the agreed-upon restaurant and sits at her seat waiting for Sheng Hanyu.

She is dressed very grandly and has even specially prepared the best red roses to give to him!

There are many girls pursuing Sheng Hanyu, but it is truly rare for them to give him flowers, especially since Jiang Siwei's outfit is quite comical—a silver-white princess suit worn over her round body, making her look like a snow-white ball.

Sheng Hanyu tells the waiter to serve the dishes, all of which are flavors Jiang Siwei likes.

Jiang Siwei is ecstatic; she never imagined her idol would actually know what she likes to eat, though of course, she never imagined that Yingzi was the one who told him.

During the meal, Jiang Siwei talks incessantly; Sheng Hanyu doesn't ask a single question, yet she spills everything about the ideas her cousin gave her and everything she did.

Sheng Hanyu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he asks her if she is willing to go online and explain what she just said.

She has no reason to refuse his request, so she agrees immediately.

He opens a laptop and places it in front of her.

Jiang Siwei's explanation online is seen by Shi Yuke immediately, and she is so angry her nose is almost crooked.

They had agreed perfectly at the beginning that not a single word would be leaked, yet only a few days have passed, and Jiang Siwei has already confessed everything.

Shi Yuke had come up with four ideas in total, three of which failed; as for the last one—having Jian Yining apologize to Sheng Yukai—she doesn't even dare to mention it.

If those three plans had succeeded, the fourth would naturally have followed easily.

She could have used that to threaten Jian Yining, forcing him to admit it even if he didn't want to.

But now that those three plans have failed, there is no point in thinking about the apology; it's just that she can't avoid it, as Bai Xue keeps dwelling on this matter and asks her every time she sees her!

After all, the "cross-dressing" incident has a very bad impact on Sheng Yukai personally, and as a mother, she still cares a lot about her son's image.

And because Shi Yuke had spoken too confidently in front of her mother-in-law to make a good impression, she now finds herself unable to justify her words.

If she can't afford to offend her, she can only hide; Shi Yuke only thought of going to the hospital to accompany her father to avoid her mother-in-law.

When she arrives, Shi Youxuan is there too; she is reading the news to her father, and seeing Shi Yuke enter, she immediately puts on her mask, puts down the newspaper, and prepares to leave.

"Stop!"

Shi Yuke calls out to her: "I just arrived and you're already leaving, what does this mean?"

She is bursting with suppressed anger with nowhere to vent, and just as she wants to pick a fight, this Special Nurse runs right into her.

"It means nothing; I forgot to sign in and need to clock in; if I'm late, my bonus will be deducted," Shi Youxuan says, thinking quickly.

Shi Yuke glances at her, and just as she is about to let go, she feels these eyes are very familiar, so she reaches out to pull at her mask...

"Stop."

Shi Yucheng is very angry and scolds his daughter.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to see me or to make me die of anger, huh?"

Shi Yucheng had been recovering quite well these past few days, but now seeing his eldest daughter, his anger flares up again.

The old man is furious, so Shi Yuke can only let her go and turns to coax her father into a good mood: "Dad, of course I came to see you; I even made your favorite braised fish; would you like to taste if it's the right flavor?"

Shi Youxuan takes the opportunity to slip out of the Hospital Ward.

Hearing about the braised fish, the anger in Shi Yucheng's heart subsides a little; the fact that his daughter brought him braised fish she made herself shows that she doesn't completely lack feelings for him as a father.

But he still keeps a stern face, without a hint of a smile: "I won't eat it; I'm afraid you'll put poison in it to harm me."

Shi Yuke isn't annoyed; she smiles and moves the mobile dining table to the side of the bed, placing the food on it.

Then she picks up a piece of fish and puts it in her own mouth, saying vaguely: "Mmm, delicious!"

She swallows it and then hands the chopsticks to her father: "Dad, I've already tasted it for you; there's no poison, you can eat it without worry."

Shi Yuke knows her father has a sharp tongue but a soft heart; he is stern on the surface but incredibly soft-hearted, and he can't bear to do anything to her; at worst, he'll just scold her.

Being scolded won't make her lose a piece of flesh, so she doesn't care.

It doesn't take long for Shi Yuke to coax her father into a good mood.

She tells her father that she didn't come the past few days not because she lacked a conscience, but because she was afraid that seeing her would make him angrier and be bad for his condition.

Shi Yucheng tells his daughter that while she was away these past few days, he was well taken care of by the little Special Nurse at the hospital.

He also says that the young girl is very much like Xuanxuan; they don't look alike, but her personality, temper, and even her small habits are remarkably similar.

Shi Yuke had already felt that the woman from earlier was suspicious, and now hearing her father say this, she feels it even more, and she waits and waits, but that little Special Nurse doesn't return.

She said she was going to clock in and would be right back, but she never returned.

Shi Yuke stands up and says to her father: "Dad, I'll go find that little Special Nurse and thank her personally for taking care of you these past few days."

Shi Yucheng doesn't think much of it and is quite happy, agreeing readily: "Go, go, you really should thank her properly."

She walks to the door and turns back: "By the way, Dad, what is her name? I need to know her name to find her."

"Oh, I don't actually know her specific name; just call her Xiaoying, everyone calls her that."

Xiaoying?

Shi Yuke immediately associated her with Yingzi; that girl's gaze was like Shi Youxuan's, but it was also like Yingzi's, and she was even called Xiaoying?

She went to the nurse station to look for Xiaoying, but the nurse at the station said she hadn't seen her.

She also said that Xiaoying was not under their management; she had been sent down directly from above to intern there.

When she came and what she did when she arrived were not under the hospital's management at all!

A little Special Nurse is this arrogant?

Shi Yuke felt that the matter was definitely not that simple.

……

Yingzi received a call from Shi Yuke, who asked to meet her.

She refused directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it over the phone; I don't want to meet you."

"Fine."

Shi Yuke said: "Since you don't want to meet me, then explain to me, what is your purpose in coming to the hospital and pretending to be a Special Nurse to get close to my father?"

Before Yingzi could answer, she continued: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it; I have already pulled up the hospital's surveillance footage, so even if you want to deny it, you can't."

Shi Youxuan knew that by going to the hospital to see her father, this day would come sooner or later.

However, it seemed that Shi Yuke only recognized her as Yingzi and had not recognized that she was also Shi Youxuan!

Since that was the case, she felt relieved, but she also knew that if she didn't satisfy Shi Yuke today, it would probably be very difficult to fool her.

"Fine, didn't you want to meet and talk? Where should we talk?"
