Chapter 321: Give You a Little Sweetness to Taste First

Zhu Yiwen walked into the Hospital Ward and placed the computer on the bedside table: "I have done what I promised you; now, shouldn't you fulfill your promise to me?"

"Mm."

Shi Youxuan was very straightforward; she had him move the bedside table over, set the computer on it, and open the stock account, her ten fingers flying...

Seeing the numbers on the account balance constantly increasing, Zhu Yiwen felt very happy inside.

But after only a moment of happiness, Shi Youxuan closed the computer: "I'm dizzy, I'm going to rest for a while."

"You cannot rest, hold on a bit longer, I will have someone get you some medicine."

Zhu Yiwen had finally seen a glimmer of hope, so naturally, he could not give up easily.

He went to get medicine, but the doctor told him the patient could not take any more; fever-reducing medicine could not be taken consecutively, and the patient's current dosage was already at the limit.

"If I tell you to get it, get it; why so much nonsense?"

The doctor dared not offend Zhu Yiwen, so he followed his request and prescribed two painkillers.

"Too little, prescribe two more."

"Mr. Zhu, taking medicine like this will cost a life."

Zhu Yiwen was impatient: "If it costs a life, I will take responsibility; it is none of your business."

"That won't do, Mr. Zhu. If your wife has an accident in the hospital, as the attending physician, I cannot escape the blame. I cannot prescribe any more medicine for you. I am sorry, I am very sorry."

The doctor apologized repeatedly, but simply refused to prescribe even one more pill for him.

He even offered Zhu Yiwen an idea, suggesting he could discharge his wife from the hospital.

Zhu Yiwen came out of the doctor's office with a very unpleasant look on his face.

They were all a bunch of people who fawned over the powerful and trampled on the weak; he hadn't even fallen from power yet, and they wouldn't even give him this little bit of face.

In the past, let alone prescribing a few extra pills, even if he had asked them to kill someone in the hospital, they wouldn't have dared to make excuses.

Zhu Yiwen could already see his own future.

He swore in his heart: I cannot fall from power, I absolutely must not fall!

Right now, Shi Youxuan was his only lifeline; no matter what method he used, he had to keep her by his side and make her listen to him.

Zhu Yiwen returned to the Hospital Ward; Shi Youxuan was lying facing the wall, motionless.

He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed over the medicine in his hand: "Get up and take your medicine. This is a special medicine the doctor prescribed specifically for you; you won't feel uncomfortable once you take it."

"I won't take it, I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Zhu Yiwen yanked her up from the hospital bed, stared into her eyes, and said word by word: "Shi Youxuan, I warn you not to play tricks on me. Are you actually sick or not?"

"If you are sick, take the medicine immediately; if you aren't, get to work immediately. Don't think that just because your daughter isn't in my hands you can be fearless. I, Zhu Yiwen, find it as easy as turning over my hand to kill a little girl; if you don't believe me, you can try!" All his patience had been worn thin by Shi Youxuan.

The money earned now wasn't even enough to pay back the first installment tomorrow; he couldn't wait any longer.

Shi Youxuan said weakly: "Don't get excited, I really am very dizzy. In this state, I can't trade properly. Are you in urgent need of money? That's easy to handle; you can take whatever money is in my account."

She was doing it on purpose, deliberately acting this way to probe Zhu Yiwen's bottom line.

Although she had the ability to hack into the company's finances, Shi Youxuan didn't know exactly where Zhu Yiwen's bottom line was!

Zhu Yiwen's tone softened a little: "I'm sorry, my wife, there is no money left in your account now." Not only was there not a single cent, but Zhu Yiwen had even used her name to owe a significant amount of money at the bank, but he hadn't told her.

"Oh, I see. Fine, I'll work."

Shi Youxuan struggled to sit up from the hospital bed, reopened the computer, and then told Zhu Yiwen: "Go get me a box of ice cream; I want to eat something cold."

Zhu Yiwen obediently went to open the refrigerator—there was nothing inside.

Although the facilities in the Hospital Ward were very complete, Shi Youxuan had been in a coma for the past two days, and it was impossible for him to have thought of putting food in the refrigerator.

"You work first, I'll go out and buy it for you." To show his sincerity, Zhu Yiwen went personally to buy ice cream for Shi Youxuan.

He wasn't afraid of her messing around with the account; all changes to the account could be seen on his mobile phone at any time.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Shi Youxuan's ten fingers flew busily across the keyboard, but her ears were pricked up the whole time, listening for movement outside.

At the door, Zhu Yiwen instructed the bodyguards to stay alert, not to let anyone in, and even more so, not to let her out!

Then, as his footsteps faded into the distance, she quickly minimized the stock page, typed a few lines of code into the computer, clicked on the hidden QQ, and sent her location to Jian Yining.

After sending it, she deleted all traces, and only then did she return to working busily on the stock account!

Zhu Yiwen didn't notice Shi Youxuan's little actions at all.

By the time he returned after buying the ice cream, the money on the account balance had already multiplied several times, enough to solve the urgent need for tomorrow.

The moment Zhu Yiwen pushed the door open, Shi Youxuan closed the computer again: "I can't do any more today. If we do any more and attract the attention of international big shots, it won't be fun for us tomorrow."

Making several hundred million in half an hour, she was treating it like a game!

Zhu Yiwen agreed readily: "Fine, fine, you're the boss." His attitude had improved by more than several times.

He placed the computer on the bedside table and diligently set out the ice cream for her; there were over a dozen boxes of various sizes, plus drinks and other snacks.

"Try a little of each, then tell me which kind you like, and I'll have someone buy it and keep it in the refrigerator so you can eat it whenever you want."

In his eyes, Shi Youxuan could no longer be considered a person; she was a tree, a golden, shimmering money tree!

In the past, Zhu Yiwen would also treat her like this, and Shi Youxuan had mistakenly thought he was cultured and knew how to respect people.

Now she knew it wasn't like that at all; he was only good to her because she had value and could help him make money.

The answer was just that simple and crude, yet it had taken her so many years to see through this man's hypocritical face.

She didn't know if his scheming was too deep, or if she was too stupid, or perhaps both.

Shi Youxuan had a lot on her mind, but it didn't show on her face at all; she really did try a little of each, then pointed to the smallest box: "This one, I like this almond flavor."

People who can make money get different treatment.

After eating the ice cream, Shi Youxuan demanded seafood; Zhu Yiwen immediately had someone buy it. After eating the seafood, she got her wish and had an upset stomach, running to the restroom time and time again.

Originally, Zhu Yiwen had planned to discharge her from the hospital and go home after the fever subsided, but with Shi Youxuan having an upset stomach, the plan was shelved.

The sky gradually grew dark.

Zhu Yiwen remained in the Hospital Ward and would not leave.

Shi Youxuan shooed him away: "You go, I need to rest."

Zhu Yiwen: "I will stay to take care of you. I used extreme measures to bring you back this time, and I am very sorry to you, so I will take care of you personally, as an apology to you."

The words sounded reasonable and fair, but Shi Youxuan would not believe a single word of it.

What kind of care?

It was just using the name of "taking care" of her to personally monitor her.

Zhu Yiwen's suspicious nature was perfectly interpreted at this moment; he did not trust anyone else to watch Shi Youxuan, and he could only feel at ease if he watched her himself.

"Fine, if you want to stay, then stay, but could you stay in the outer room? I don't like having other people in the room."

"Very well." So he went out and rested in the outer nursing room.

The inner and outer rooms were separated only by a thin wooden wall, and any movement inside could be heard clearly from the outside.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, following Zhu Yiwen's request, Shi Youxuan repeated the same method, using hedging techniques in the international stock market to earn several hundred million, and then stopped!

That day, Zhu Yiwen took the initiative to propose "compensation," wanting to transfer the Zhu Family Mansion into Shi Youxuan's name, letting her become the true mistress of the Zhu Family.
