Dead rival kneeling and begging for reconciliation

The corridor outside the advanced ward was quiet and no one was there. Su Zhiqiao walked out of the ward with the flowers in her arms, paused, and gently opened the door.

Shang Qian sat by the hospital bed, holding Su Mingyuan's hand.The monitor at the head of the bed made a beeping sound, which was so dull that it was breathless.

"Mom." Su Zhiqiao called softly, and walked over: "The flowers are here."

Shang Qian didn't move.She has always taken care of herself to be radiant, even at home, her makeup is meticulous, but these days she is naked, with a cashmere shawl wrapped around her skirt.The well-maintained black and shiny long hair was also casually tied behind the head, losing its luster.

Su Zhiqiao called out again: "Mom."

"Huh?" Shang Qian raised her head, looked at Su Zhiqiao in a daze, reached out and shook his hand: "Qiao Qiao, it's cold outside, why don't you wear more clothes?"

Su Zhiqiao had a sore nose, and forced a smile: "It's not cold. Isn't this bouquet of flowers beautiful?"

"Well, it's beautiful." Shang Qian smiled, stood up and took the flowers.Maybe it was because of sitting for a long time, she suddenly became dizzy, Su Zhiqiao hurriedly supported her.

"Mom, go back and rest first, I'll just watch over." Su Zhiqiao looked at her mother's appearance, her heart felt as if a knife had been twisted.

Shang Qian leaned against Su Zhiqiao for a moment, shook her head and said, "The smell of medicine in the ward is too strong, put some flowers to fumigate it, and your father will like it when he wakes up."

Shang Qian went to fiddle with the vase, and Su Zhiqiao noticed a bouquet of champagne roses in the trash can, beautifully packaged and dewy on the petals.Taking advantage of Shang Qian's inattention, he stretched out his hand to pick the flowers, and took out the card, which was signed by Shen Mu.

Has Shen Mu been here...

"Qiao Qiao, don't stay in the hospital with your father all day, I'm here." Shang Qian suddenly said, "Go back to the company. Your father founded the company, why should Shen Mu be in charge now?"

Su Zhiqiao was a little annoyed, more of a grievance, for Shen Mu: "Shen Mu is in charge of the company, what are you worried about? Do you want to hand it over to the second and third uncles?"

"..." Shang Qian gritted her teeth and poked Su Zhiqiao on the forehead: "I'm not doing it for you! Anyway, I don't trust him, you should go back to the company and take charge."

Seeing that her mother's eyes were red again, Su Zhiqiao hurriedly said: "Got it. Mom, the food that Auntie brought is still hot, take a few bites, and I'll leave after I'm done, okay?"

He coaxed and persuaded, and pushed Shang Qian to the table to sit down and eat.In just a few days, he seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.When the father fell, he had to hold on, otherwise who would the mother rely on?

Su Mingyuan just collapsed and entered the ICU. The doctor said that the cerebral capillaries had ruptured and issued a critical illness notice.Uncles and uncles Wuyang Wuyang surrounded the room, not condolences, but forced to ask about the company's equity and the speaker.When the usually kind and kind elders were tearing their skins apart, Su Zhiqiao protected her mother who was so angry that she covered her face and cried bitterly, and refused to bow her head so stubbornly that her lips were bleeding.

Finally, Shen Mu appeared.Su Zhiqiao covered her eyes, and there seemed to be the figure of Shen Mu's back standing in front of him, pushing aside the crowd.

What did the uncles say then? "Shen Mu, this is a matter of the Su family, it's not up to you, a foreigner, to intervene."

"I was raised by my uncle, and I am also a member of the Su family. I will take care of my uncle's company, and I will take care of it to the end, lest my uncle wake up and the company he founded has already fallen into the hands of others."

Shen Mu spoke mercilessly, and the third uncle blushed, tearing his face and said: "Say ten thousand and ten thousand, you are just a foreigner, why do you manage the affairs of the Su family!"

The assistant behind Shen Mu took out a document, and Shen Mu looked at everyone coldly: "This is the power of attorney that my uncle gave me years ago. During his illness, I will entrust all affairs to me."

"My elder brother fell ill suddenly, how could I give you this power of attorney in advance! It must be fake!"

"Yes, Qiao Qiao, sister-in-law, we are all one family. Don't be fooled by this kid from the Shen family, when the time comes, the big brother's life's hard work will fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames!"

Seeing that the general situation was over, the uncles changed the direction of the wind one after another, and coaxed Su Zhiqiao: "Qiao Qiao, you have been loved the most by the uncles since childhood. You can't be stupid. Now your father is sick, and the uncles are carrying it for you. .”

Su Zhiqiao took a deep breath, looked up at everyone present: "I believe in Shen Mu."

"Qiao Qiao!" The third uncle took a step forward and glared at Su Zhiqiao: "You are ignorant, don't make fun of your father's company!"

"You also know that this is my father's company?" Su Zhiqiao raised the corners of her lips, imitating Shen Mu's sneering expression and fighting back, "Now, as the company's legal heir, I declare that Shen Mu has full power to take over the company."

Su Zhiqiao's attitude first shocked the relatives in the audience, and then exploded.Without Su Mingyuan, Su Zhiqiao was no longer the young master who needed their support. The relatives took out their elders' money and accused Su Zhiqiao all over the place.

Shen Mu took a step forward to stand in front of Su Zhiqiao, pushed away the third uncle's hand pointing at him: "I respect you as an elder, please respect yourself!"

Shen Mu was young and tall, the third uncle was shocked by his aura, and said angrily: "Shen Mu, you dare to fight with me?! You..."

"Enough! Ming Yuan is still lying in there, are you going to argue outside his ward?!" Shang Qian suddenly screamed.This woman who has been elegant all her life has completely lost her composure.

The messy memory came to an abrupt end.Mother was also there that day, so why did she still believe in the instigation of her uncles, thinking that Shen Mu would have bad intentions?Su Zhiqiao sighed, her brows furrowed tightly.

Su Zhiqiao went home and changed into formal clothes, and went to the company.As soon as he entered the company, he felt sights from all directions and whispers.

The familiar colleagues greeted him with sympathy and caution, which made Su Zhiqiao feel even more uncomfortable.He could only straighten his back and walk towards Su Mingyuan's office with a nonchalant expression.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

Su Zhiqiao pushed the door open and entered.In the past, the place where the father was sitting was replaced by Shen Mu. With those gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he was still astonishingly handsome.Shen Mu saw Su Zhiqiao coming in and looking at him, the two of them remained silent for a while, and the office was filled with a silent atmosphere.

"What's the matter?" Shen Mu spoke first, he took off his glasses and rubbed between his brows.

"I want to come back to work." Su Zhiqiao said.

Shen Mu said: "Yes."

Shen Mu's flirtatious attitude made Su Zhiqiao a little annoyed. He bit his lower lip and said, "Dad said, let me learn to manage the company after the Chinese New Year. I don't want to be in the marketing department anymore."

Hearing this, Shen Mu finally raised his eyes to look at Su Zhiqiao.The small face that was originally full of baby fat has become thinner, and the chin is pointed, but Mao'er's eyes are unprecedentedly serious, as if he has grown up a lot overnight.

Shen Mu said slowly: "It's a lot of pressure to take over the company. It's not like in the past where you can be lazy and fish for fish. Can you bear the hardship?"

"Don't underestimate people. If you can do it, of course I can, and I won't do worse than you." Su Zhiqiao raised her chin, but she didn't blow her hair, and her energy-raising skills improved a lot.

Shen Mu nodded: "It's good if you have determination. I'll send someone to clean up the office next door."

Su Zhiqiao was satisfied after hearing this, and turned to leave, Shen Mu asked, "Do you want to rest for a few days before coming back?"

"No. I can go to work now." Su Zhiqiao said.

Shen Mu didn't insist anymore, and gave Su Zhiqiao a meaningful look: "Then take office today, Mr. Su."

Shen Mu's last sentence was a bit of a smile, which made Su Zhiqiao's heart skip a beat for no reason.He gave Shen Mu a sideways look, "There are no fine print."

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Su Zhiqiao sat in the brand-new office, facing a thick stack of documents, almost felt helpless, and had to bite the bullet and learn how to deal with it. Even with the help of Secretary Liao, she was still terribly tired.

"Forget it, Qiao Qiao, it's too late, let's go back first." Secretary Liao looked at the time and persuaded, "Everyone is off work."

Su Zhiqiao was immersed in his work. He just boasted in front of Shen Mu just now, but he didn't want to just slap himself in the face like this: "Uncle Liao, go back first, I'll watch for a while."

Secretary Liao watched Su Zhiqiao grow up. He used to dislike Su Zhiqiao for being ignorant, but now that Su Zhiqiao is sensible, he feels distressed: "You can't become fat if you eat at one bite. You have no experience and can't figure it out on your own. How about Go ask Master Shen Mu, he..."

"There's no need for him! I can do it myself." Su Zhiqiao flatly vetoed it.

Secretary Liao said: "Don't be stubborn. Master Shen Mu has the ability he has today, and someone learned it step by step. Maybe Qiao Qiao, you can learn faster than him?"

"..." Su Zhiqiao remained silent, but his eyes had already begun to waver.

Secretary Liao clicked to stop, collected the documents for Su Zhiqiao, and said, "Let's see here first today, go to the hospital to see your father, and I will go with you."

When Su Zhiqiao and Secretary Liao approached the ward, they heard Shang Qian's voice from inside: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person here! Take your things and go out!"

Su Zhiqiao was startled, rushed up and opened the door: "Mom!"

Shang Qian stood beside the hospital bed with an angry face, and the tall and straight figure standing with her back to him was Shen Mu.

"Shen Mu...what's the matter?" Su Zhiqiao walked up to Shang Qian and looked at Shen Mu suspiciously. There were still several boxes of supplements and flowers scattered on the ground.

Shen Mu held back his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Auntie, I just want to see Uncle."

"He's lying here, what else is there to see?! Are you here to see the fun?" Shang Qian raised her voice.

Su Zhiqiao pulled Shang Qian back and said, "Mom, don't do this. No one wants Dad to be sick. How can you say that?"

"Are you still talking for him?" Shang Qian shook off Su Zhiqiao's hand with red eyes, pointed at Shen Mu and said, "Your father has been sick for a long time, and he has been helping him think about how to fight for the family property all day long. If it weren't for him, you Why did dad fall ill? Your dad has been fine for the past five years, why did he get sick as soon as he came back? It's not his fault!"

Su Zhiqiao looked at Shen Mu, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed. Such a tall and sharp man whispered to Shang Qian: "Auntie, I'm sorry. I'm leaving first."

Secretary Liao didn't look like it, and stepped forward to comfort him: "Ma'am, this is a ward, it's not good to disturb Mr. Su. Come, sit here."

"Old Liao, I..." Shang Qian looked at her old friend whom she had known for decades, her whole body relaxed, and she covered her mouth and began to cry.

Seeing Secretary Liao comforting her mother, Su Zhiqiao secretly turned around and chased her out of the ward.Shen Mu didn't leave, he leaned against the wall, with one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in his right hand.He was still wearing a formal suit, and he obviously came over just after get off work, but in exchange he was scolded by Shang Qian.

Su Zhiqiao held back for a long time, but couldn't think of how to comfort Shen Mu. Shen Mu looked up at him, and Su Zhiqiao suddenly blurted out, "Smoking is not allowed here."

"I know." Shen Mu laughed, and threw the unlit cigarette into the trash can.

"You..." Su Zhiqiao noticed a red mark on Shen Mu's cheek, Shen Mu had been facing him with his left cheek just now in the ward, so she didn't see it.He couldn't help but stepped forward and reached out to touch it, "What's wrong with your face?"

"It's okay." Shen Mu blocked it with his hands.

Shen Mu's action caused Su Zhiqiao to be stabbed, as if reminding Su Zhiqiao that they had already broken up and it was not suitable for such contact anymore.He looked up at the wound on Shen Mu's cheek, the skin was torn, and he said a long line: "Is it my mother?"

"No. Auntie smashed the flower and was scratched by the stem." Shen Mu shook his head, paused and added: "Auntie never hit me."

He is telling the truth.From the age of five to the Su family, Shang Qian never treated him badly, let alone beat him.Before finding out about his relationship with Su Zhiqiao, it was even good for him.

"My mother doesn't like you coming to the ward. She also threw away the flowers you sent last time." Shen Mu's attitude made Su Zhiqiao feel even more uncomfortable, and blurted out, "Why do you still come? You didn't ask for it. Is it hard to eat?"

"I thought Auntie wasn't there. I wanted to put down my things and leave, but I was bumped into." Shen Mu gave Su Zhiqiao a self-deprecating look, "I know Auntie doesn't like me."

"..." Su Zhiqiao's heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by someone. He bit his lip and murmured, "Just now... I'm sorry. Don't take my mother's words to heart. She is too sad So scared."

"Say it again." Shen Mu said.

"What?" Su Zhiqiao was at a loss.

"The first sentence, say it again." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"...Just now." Su Zhiqiao pouted.

"Smelly temper." Shen Mu sneered, and rubbed Su Zhiqiao's hair.

"Annoying!" Su Zhiqiao covered her hair and stared at Shen Mu, her cat eyes were shining, her cheeks were a little red, making people want to pinch her.

Shen Mu's eyes changed.For a moment, Su Zhiqiao thought he would kiss her, and couldn't help but widen her eyes nervously.

"Qiao Qiao, where have you been?" Shang Qian's voice suddenly came from the ward.

Su Zhiqiao trembled with fright, and immediately recovered.Shen Mu straightened up: "Go in and take good care of Auntie."
