SWNOVELXO Chapter 263 Hospitalization
Dad Han's heart was also breaking.
He thought he had entrusted his trust to someone, only to find that they had betrayed it—and they even wanted his life.
Han Xuemei no longer resembled the little girl he remembered; she had changed completely, and it was terrifying.
Such a young woman harbored such heavy intentions and even schemed for wealth and murder; she was truly without fault.
"Dad, if you continue like this, no one will be able to help you. Regarding my cousin's affairs, Lin Yi said he would help us resolve them, so there's no need for you to worry anymore. Given your condition, I doubt you're able to go back, so just focus on recuperating in the hospital. Don't meddle in future matters anymore, and don't disrupt Lin Yi's judgment," she said.
It seemed to be the first time Lin Yi had seen Han Xuewei so resolute, exuding an air of a master strategist.
Lin Yi felt as if Han Xuewei had grown up a bit.
As the two were discussing, Han Xuemei suddenly burst in, wearing a look of feigned concern on her face.
She seemed very worried as she called for Dad, but in reality, she was not; she was only concerned about whether the old man was dead.
"Dad Han, what on earth happened to you? I rushed over as soon as I got the message, I'm so sorry, I was delayed because of the traffic jam, Brother Lin Yi, please tell me, what happened to Dad?"
At this moment, Han Xuemei completely ignored Han Xuewei beside her, focusing all her attention on Lin Yi.
Shouldn't she be most concerned about Dad Han at this time?
Shouldn't she be tending to Dad Han's bedside, offering comfort? Why had she run to Lin Yi's side instead?
"Han Xuemei, I remember making myself very clear before. If you continue like this, I really can't guarantee how much longer I can tolerate you, and right now, the person you should be most concerned about ought to be Dad Han," Lin Yi said coldly as he pushed Han Xuemei away and walked to Han Xuewei's side.
Han Xuemei's face darkened instantly, but she quickly recovered.
With teary eyes, she walked to Dad Han's bed, but to her surprise, Dad Han did not even spare her a glance.
Although Han Xuemei was taken aback, she knew the show must go on.
"I know, Dad Han, are you upset with me because I didn't arrive in time? It was really because of the traffic that I got here late. I closed the hotel immediately after receiving the message and rushed back. Dad Han, I'm really sorry and I apologize. Please let me take care of you at the hospital for the next while, alright?"
Han Xuemei forced a strong smile, as if now she was the one who had been bullied all along.
Dad Han continued not to utter a word, leaving Han Xuemei extremely embarrassed.
She thought to herself.
Why isn't the old man saying anything?
Usually, as soon as she acted coquettishly, the old man would immediately yield.
Why isn't he responding now? Could it be that the old man has discovered her true nature?
That won't do, her plan was not yet complete.
Moreover, the poison was a slow-acting one. If he allowed the old man to recover now, how would he carry out his subsequent plans?
"Dad Han, can you say a few words to me, please? You're really scaring me. You won't ignore me forever, will you? Are you angry with me? What if I apologize? I'll make your favorite dishes for you.
Apart from you, I have no other family left in this world!"
As she spoke, Han Xuemei started to cry, and she played the sympathy card as well.
Han Xuewei knew that Dad Han couldn't stand to see Han Xuemei cry in front of him; he always felt he should take good care of her.
"Alright, stop crying. I'm not blaming you. I was just thinking about what to say. My body is quite weak, so I'd prefer not to speak much. If you want to take care of me during this time, then stay here. Don't trouble others.
The hotel can be left to Lin Yi and Han Xuewei for now. They are your sister and brother-in-law, so you can rest assured."
Dad Han, in just a few words, had made Han Xuemei relinquish her managerial authority, and her face turned ugly on the spot.
What is this old man thinking?
How could he actually let her hand over the managerial rights? How could this be acceptable?
She was only making a perfunctory gesture, yet the old man truly agreed to it.
"It's not that I don't want to hand over the management, but my sister and brother-in-law have their own affairs to attend to. If they manage the hotel, they might be too busy to cope. Dad Han, could it be that you don't have confidence in me? Or do you think I haven't been managing it well recently?"
Han Xuemei put on a troubled expression that almost convinced everyone she genuinely cared for the hotel.
In reality, she was just trying to carry out her plan. This woman had truly lost all sense of morality.
Right at that moment, Director Zhao called Han Xuemei.
Han Xuemei couldn't continue her act any longer, so she just gave a forced smile to everyone and slipped out to answer the call.
Lin Yi, being cautious, went outside and eavesdropped on Han Xuemei's phone conversation.
He always suspected there was a connection between Han Xuemei and Director Zhao.
"Baby, the man you asked me to deal with—who exactly is he? How does he have our company's upgraded formula for the special medicine? Could there have been a mistake? A person like him shouldn't have the chance to come into contact with you, right?"
Director Zhao now treated Han Xuemei as his plaything and didn't care about the way he talked to her. Continue your journey with empire
Han Xuemei was repulsed, but she had to suppress her feelings.
It seemed that Director Zhao had already met Lin Yi.
"Director Zhao, please don't be fooled by his words. He doesn't have any upgraded special medicine! That man is the biggest liar. He's just trying to scare you off. Whatever you do, don't fall for it. Moreover, Director Zhao, if you can't even fulfill my request or achieve it, I cannot be with you.
I've given so much; you can't let me walk away with nothing."
Han Xuemei's eyes were practically rolling back in her head.
This old man, not having helped her accomplish her task, was still longing for her body; how shameless could he get?
Without completing the task, Han Xuemei would never give herself to an old man.
She still harbored dreams of attaching herself to a wealthy man and marrying into a wealthy family.
"Xue Mei, why are you talking so heartlessly? I'm in the midst of figuring things out. And I didn't expect that man to be so hard to deal with either. Give me a few more days, will you?"
