Chapter 537: Does She Feel Guilty?

Su Qingsang found that the problem had been solved too easily.

“It was easy because that wasn’t just some random woman. She was his high school lover, the prettiest girl in his class.”

Huo Jinyao knew that Lin Gang didn’t trust people too easily, so he decided to find the person he would trust the most.

“How do you know that Wen Fei was the prettiest girl in his class?”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang, blinked his eyes, and turned up the corners of his lips slightly. His eyes twinkled like the stars.

“I’ll tell you if you kiss me.”

Su Qingsang gave him a piercing glare. Instead of kissing him, she was thinking about something else.

“So, you asked Wen Fei to get close to Lin Gang. What if he keeps harassing her later on?”

“I told you that I’ll tell you if you kiss me.”

Su Qingsang rolled her eyes, then leaned toward him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Huo Jinyao wasn’t satisfied. He held her and kissed her deeply on the lips until she struggled to breathe.

He could kiss her any time he wanted, and he loved to see her blush.

The shy and slightly displeasing look in her eyes was especially enchanting. Huo Jinyao couldn’t help himself and gave her another kiss on the cheek.

“Can you tell me now?”

“I deleted the Weibo posts that day because I thought that the matter was not complicated. It turned out that things weren’t as simple as I thought. So after that, I asked Yang Wenchang to do some digging on Lin Gang’s background.”

It didn’t require much time to find out everything about someone like that.

Huo Jinyao eventually found out that Lin Gang never paid attention to his studies throughout the three years of his high school life, because he had been thinking about Wen Fei all day.

Wen Fei hadn’t liked him back, though. That information was very helpful for Huo Jinyao.

His plan might have still worked if it was another woman, but definitely not so effectively. After all, she was his teenage lover and she didn’t have children yet.

A son was exactly what he wanted. Everything was becoming perfect for Lin Gang.

He could be easily tempted under such conditions. All Wen Fei needed to do was to show him ‘her hotel’ and have dinner with him.

Wen Fei had made herself sound so helpless and pitiful.

Lin Gang was so tempted by her beauty that he never realized that Wen Fei had actually been pretending since the very beginning.

He would rather believe what he saw at face value. He had seen people treat Wen Fei like the big boss before.

Wen Fei had worn expensive clothing and acted like a real rich woman. How could he have ever thought that she was actually pretending the whole time?

Sending Wen Fei to do the job and deal with Lin Gang was much easier than sending someone who worked directly for Huo Jinyao.

Su Qingsang nodded. She looked at Huo Jinyao, her eyes even brighter than before. “You’re amazing,” she said.

Huo Jinyao had found out so many things within such a short period of time, and had even arranged for Wen Fei to show up immediately.

Most importantly, he had made everything seem very natural, which made Lin Gang believe it without questioning anything. That was quite impressive.

Huo Jinyao gave a small smile, put an arm around Su Qingsang’s waist, and kissed her cheek once again.

“Darling, carry on.”

“Carry on?”

“Em, praise me. I love to hear you doing it.”

Su Qingsang looked at him. Instead of rolling her eyes like she normally would, she put her arms around his neck and looked him in the eyes.

“I can’t.”

“Try.” Huo Jinyao rested his hands on her waist and threatened her with his eyes. “Come on.”

“Alright, alright, you’re so good. You’re the best.”

“Who am I?” Huo Jinyao pressed his hands a little harder on her waist. Su Qingsang surely knew that it was his best move. She was afraid that he might tickle her, so she hurriedly begged for mercy and said what he wanted to hear.

“My husband is the best.”

“And?”

“My husband is the hottest.”

“And?”

Huo Jinyao leaned slightly toward her. Su Qingsang didn’t even know how to react at that moment.

“My husband is the most capable person in the world, okay?”

She really ran out of words to praise him. She didn’t know what to say under the current situation even if she did want to praise him.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking about what she had said, he believed that it was true.

“Darling, do you think that I’m not capable?

His hand which was resting on her waist slowly moved to her back. Su Qingsang clearly knew why he made that move.

“No, you are capable. I’ve said that already.”

“Well, I just feel that since you’ve given me such a good compliment, I really need to prove it with a good performance. Don’t you agree?”

Performance? What performance? Of course, he intended to show her how capable he could be.

Su Qingsang still had questions to ask. She hurriedly put both her hands against his chest to create some distance between them.

“You haven’t told me what you’ll do if Lin Gang keeps harassing Wen Fei.”

“Don’t worry about that. It won’t happen.”

“How are you so sure?”

“I am very sure.” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang, gently pinched her cheek, and said, “Wen Fei is leaving the country in just a few days. Lin Gang will never find her after that.”

“Leave the country?”

“Yeah.”

Huo Jinyao nodded. There was also another reason why he had chosen Wen Fei for the job.

The story that Wen Fei had told Lin Gang wasn’t true. The real story was that she did have a son, who was born with heart disease. He needed a heart transplant.

Because of the high cost of treatment, Wen Fei’s husband had divorced her and abandoned her and her son.

Her husband wasn’t willing to save the boy, but Wen Fei didn’t intend to give up. She wanted to let her son have surgery and recover. She wanted him to be healthy.

However, she had no money. All these years, the only thing she could do was to watch her ill son grow up, suffering.

Last week, she received a message from a hospital in the United States, saying that there was a suitable heart for her son. But of course, she would need money for the surgery.

Wen Fei was so anxious that even her hair started to grow grey. She desperately needed the money. She needed a big sum of money to enable her son to have that surgery.

When Yang Wenchang found her, she had agreed to help without much hesitation.

She would take her son abroad for the surgery once she received the money. How would Lin Gang ever be able to find her after that?

“What a difficult time for the woman.”

“I guess so.”

Wen Fei hated to lie to people, especially to someone she knew. Lin Gang had been one of her high school classmates after all.

However, after Yang Wenchang told her about what Lin Gang had done, she agreed to help.

“Actually, Wen Fei isn’t just a poor woman. She’s also a very capable woman.”

Huo Jinyao remembered what he had heard from Yang Wenchang about her. For the past few years, Wen Fei had been busy earning money and taking care of her son.

She lost her job, so she had to pick up all kinds of odd jobs.

She was a pretty woman. With good clothing and makeup, she could look gorgeous.

Yang Wenchang had hired someone to teach her to be elegant. She was trained to taste wine, to eat gracefully, and to make herself look like a qualified rich woman.

Wen Fei had spent only one night to learn seventy percent of all that she needed to learn.

Her facade might have been uncovered if she had had dinner with a real upper-class person, but that never happened as the one she had dinner with was only Lin Gang.

“She’s good indeed.”

“Yes,” Huo Jinyao said. Wen Fei wasn’t from a wealthy family. She had attended business school. If it weren’t for her son and her irresponsible ex-husband, she could have built a great career.

“Maybe you should hire her to work in your company since you know what she is capable of.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t jealous at all. She was simply impressed by Wen Fei’s story.

She went through a lot of difficulties, but never gave up on her son. She managed all the responsibilities singlehandedly, and she did not lose herself in her journey of finding a stable income. Su Qingsang never met her but she already liked her.

“Stop it. It’s Yang Wenchang who appreciates her.”

Yang Wenchang had made all the arrangements, and after that, he kept talking to Huo Jinyao about how capable and friendly Wen Fei was.

He didn’t mean anything else but simply felt pity for that strong woman, who could have lived a completely different life.

“Maybe later. I don’t think she has the mood to work at the moment.”

Wen Fei had already talked to the doctor in the United States. She would bring her son there in just a few days. It would require a long time for the patient to recover after the heart transplant.

If she decided to come back after that, Huo Jinyao might think about hiring that kind and righteous person to work for Tianyu.

Thinking about Lin Gang and Wen Fei’s husband, Su Qingsang gave a sigh.

“Do you think men are born to be crueler than women?”

“What are you trying to say?” Huo Jinyao was a man himself. What did Su Qingsang mean by that?

He narrowed his eyes and stared at her. If she called what he did cruel, he might do something bad to her.

“I’m not talking about you.”

Su Qingsang worked in the hospital. She often witnessed death tear people and their beloved ones apart. She had also seen many immoral ones.

“For some of my previous patients, their babies were born unhealthy, and the ones who intended to abandon them were always the fathers. Most of the mothers wouldn’t abandon their children.”

“You see, just like Wen Fei. She lives such a hard life because she had an irresponsible husband.”

“And Lin Gang. Her wife was pregnant, but he asked her to fake car accidents. He didn’t care about her safety at all. He also demanded that his daughter be taken out of the incubator just a few days after she was born.”

Thankfully, the baby had been strong enough to survive.

If an accident had happened to the baby because of improper treatment, he would have blamed the hospital again.

Huo Jinyao couldn’t answer Su Qingsang’s question. He held her in his arms and let her sit on his laps.

“Darling, there’s sunlight in this world and there’s darkness too, of course. I don’t know about other people, but I can assure you that I’m not that kind of man.”

Looking at her in the eyes, he held Su Qingsang’s hand and put it near his lips. Then, he kissed it softly. He had never looked so serious before.

“I promise that I will never be like them.”

His deep voice was sexy and tempting at that moment. The determined look in his eyes stunned Su Qingsang slightly.

She nodded slightly. She trusted him.

Huo Jinyao kissed her lips. She looked so beautiful when she trusted him fully. He couldn’t help it but admired her.

Feeling his gentleness, Su Qingsang’s eyes grew misty.

She had been married to Huo Jinyao for half a year, and she was learning more and more about him all the time.

She was learning how to be a wife, to love sincerely, and how to manage the relationship between her and her husband. She was also learning how to get along with his family.

Most importantly, she was learning to trust a person, a man.

That had never been easy for her.

She was now Li Qianxue’s daughter, but still, she had grown up as an illegitimate child. She was naturally more sensitive and paranoid than the other people.

She hid her sensitivity well, but it still existed.

Now, she believed that she could trust Huo Jinyao. She could give him her trust entirely, bit by bit.

She believed that he would always stand on her side to support her.

She believed that he loved her and would never betray her.

…

The trouble which Lin Gang had started was now solved. Li Hong, as a liar, was now living a miserable life.

The doctors and nurses never give her a hard time, but they were never extra nice to her either.

Li Hong could accept that. What was unacceptable was that Lin Gang had gone missing since the day the truth had been revealed. He hadn’t been taking her phone calls nor replying to her messages.

She had no idea what he was doing and what had happened to him.

She starved for half a day. No one brought her any food.

None of the doctors and nurses liked the patients who attempted to hurt their doctors. They couldn’t kick her out of the hospital as she was still a patient, but due to what she had done before, no one cared if she had been eating or not.

They didn’t admit another patient in Li Hong’s ward. She was such a trouble maker in people’s eyes, so they decided to let her have all the space for herself.

Lin Gang had been the only one taking care of Li Hong previously. However, he hadn’t been so attentive to her, because she had a daughter.

And now he was missing. Li Hong didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, the driver who hit her had given her some money.

Also earlier, some people who didn’t know the truth had given her some money because they felt sympathetic towards her.

Li Hong had to take care of the baby herself, even though her wounds hurt all the time.

She had been growing paler and paler. One day, Su Qingsang found out about Li Hong’s miserable state while doing her usual rounds in the hospital.

She wasn’t soft-hearted, but Li Hong was a patient after all. She thus immediatly asked a nursing assistant to look after her.

She knew that Lin Gang was busy drooling over Wen Fei. He probably had no time for Li Hong anymore.

Li Meilin called Su Qingsang ‘super generous’ as she was still helping someone who had done something awful to her.

Su Qingsang shook her head and said, “I’m not generous. I’m a doctor.”

Doctors should help people as much as they could. Doctors should never watch their patients suffer.

Li Hong was still in the hospital after all. If the doctors and nurses refused to help her, the media and those keyboard warriors might accuse them of being cold-hearted again.

Besides, Su Qingsang knew that Li Hong would suffer even more when she found out what Lin Gang was currently doing.

She might even collapse if she heard her husband’s activities. Knowing that, Su Qingsang had no interest in punishing Li Hong for what she had done to her.

What would Li Hong do when she found out? Su Qingsang didn’t care, but she guessed that the result wouldn’t be too good.

Did she feel guilty about it? Not at all.
