Chapter 260 Good News and Bad News
Chapter 260 Good News and Bad News
Shen Qianhe curled up on the bench outside the operating room, looking weak and tired.
Gu Wanwan sat next to her, brows furrowed, and occasionally glanced at the directors in suits not far away.
The directors stood aside with seemingly concern, talking in low voices, but their eyes were filled with calculations that were difficult to conceal.
They claimed to be visiting the sick, but actually they had ulterior motives.
Once the news of Xie Jincheng's failed surgery comes out, they will immediately initiate a shareholders' meeting and reshuffle the Xie family.
Zhao Zechuan stood at the other end of the corridor.
He was wearing a long brown trench coat today, holding a thick document in his hand, his slender fingers gently stroking the edge of the document, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were as sharp as a knife, calm and serious.
As Xie's legal advisor, he has in his hand the Xie's equity inheritance agreement held by Xie Jincheng.
Once major changes occur within the company, he can, as Xie Jincheng's direct agent, transfer the shares held by Xie Jincheng.
Last night, Song Yubai deliberately exaggerated Xie Jincheng's condition, causing Zhao Zechuan to think that Xie Jincheng's condition had worsened, so he drove back from another province overnight.
When he learned that Xie Jincheng had lost his memory, he was very surprised, but as a friend of many years and work partner, he chose to stand on Xie Jincheng's side without hesitation.
The two of them worked out an effective plan to clean out the board of directors overnight and worked in perfect harmony.
Just like ten years ago.
Shen Qianhe's eyes never left the door of the operating room.
My head is in a mess.
I can't muster any energy.
Gu Wanwan handed the hot milk in her hand to Shen Qianhe, "Qianhe baby, why don't you go eat something? You didn't eat much last night..."
Shen Qianhe shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't eat."
"Hey."
Gu Wanwan sighed deeply, looked at her watch, and muttered to herself, "It's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't Song Yubai come yet?"
As he was speaking, hurried footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor.
Song Yubai hurried over carrying several bags of breakfast. His camel-colored cashmere scarf was draped crookedly over his wrinkled plaid suit, and he was holding a bag of steaming buns in his hand.
There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously he had been running.
"Song Yubai! What's wrong with you?"
Gu Wanwan was furious when she saw him like this. She stood up and walked quickly to Song Yubai, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice, "Look at what time it is now! Xie Jincheng has been pushed in for two hours. Why don't you wait until the operation is over before coming?"
Song Yubai panted and handed the breakfast to Gu Wanwan with a hint of apology on his face: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. I specially bought shrimp dumplings from a time-honored store in the east of the city. Come and try them."
As he spoke, he handed the bag in his hand to Gu Wanwan.
A fresh fragrance wafted out of the paper bag, mixed with the sweetness of shrimp meat and the fragrance of chopped green onions, and instantly spread in the air.
Gu Wanwan pouted. Although there was still dissatisfaction on her face, she took the bag honestly.
A fresh fragrance wafted into Gu Wanwan's nose, and her saliva instantly began to water, and her stomach growled twice.
Her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously covered her stomach. Seeing this, Song Yubai smiled and said, "It seems someone is hungry."
Gu Wanwan glared at him and said in a scolding tone: "What do you care!"
Song Yubai smiled and turned to look at Shen Qianhe, "Qianhe hasn't had breakfast yet, let's ask her to eat something together."
Song Yubai looked at Shen Qianhe, "Qianhe hasn't had breakfast yet, let's ask her to eat something together."
Shen Qianhe smiled politely and shook his head, "No, thank you."
Song Yubai felt guilty as he watched her increasingly thin figure.
It’s unknown how long Xie Jincheng’s current situation will last, and it’s not a good idea to keep it a secret.
Song Yubai thought to himself, why not confess to her now.
He hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Zhao Zechuan, and the two exchanged glances.
Zhao Zechuan nodded slightly.
Song Yubai came in front of Shen Qianhe and said mysteriously, "Qianhe, come here, I have something to tell you."
Shen Qianhe raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the operating room, a little confused: "What's the matter? If it's not very important, let's wait until Jin Cheng's surgery is over."
"Important! How can it not be important?"
Song Yubai said as he pulled Shen Qianhe up from the chair. Shen Qianhe was a little confused by his sudden action, but still stood up obediently.
"Why are you going!"
Gu Wanwan looked at Song Yubai, who was behaving a little strangely, and followed him in two steps.
"Song Yubai, what are you doing?"
Song Yubai did not answer, but just pulled Shen Qianhe towards a small corner of the corridor.
Coming to the corner, Song Yubai looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders around, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around, moved closer to Shen Qianhe, lowered his voice very low, and said with a smile: "Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Shen Qianhe frowned slightly. She didn't know what Song Yu was up to, but given her current situation, it would be nice to have some good news.
"Good news."
When Song Yubai heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had finally gotten the chance.
He cleared his throat and said mysteriously, "The good news is that Old Xie is fine. He was actually... pretending!"
Shen Qianhe was stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise and disbelief in his eyes: "What... do you mean? What do you mean he is pretending?"
Gu Wanwan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this: "Song Yubai, are you sick? You should consider the occasion when joking!"
Song Yubai waved his hands hastily, "No, I'm not kidding! I'm telling the truth! Old Xie wasn't actually performing surgery, he was just acting!"
"what!"
"acting?!"
Gu Wanwan and Shen Qianhe spoke almost in unison, their voices unconsciously rising an octave.
Song Yubai was startled by their reactions and quickly reached out to cover their mouths, his movements flustered as if he was grabbing something hot: "Two ladies! Keep your voices down! If someone overhears, you're doomed!"
Before his hand touched Shen Qianhe's mouth, Gu Wanwan had already slapped his hand away, with a hint of anger in her voice: "Song Yubai, you'd better explain it to me! What is going on?"
Song Yubai shrank his neck, feeling half a head shorter than before due to the pressure from Gu Wanwan's aura.
Shen Qianhe's pupils dilated slightly and his heart beat violently.
She tried to lower her voice and asked quietly: "What happened? Why did he do this?"
Song Yubai looked around and confirmed that no one noticed the commotion here, then he quickly explained the situation to the two of them.
In short, Xie Jincheng wanted to use the failure of the operation to confuse the board of directors, expose those people with ulterior motives, and take this opportunity to eliminate them.
After Song Yubai finished speaking, he carefully observed Shen Qianhe's expression, fearing that she would not be able to accept it for a while.
Knowing that Xie Jincheng was not in danger, Shen Qianhe was indeed relieved, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
But after being happy, she felt an indescribable grievance in her heart.
Why didn't Xie Jincheng tell her all this?
How could he let her be so frightened?
From yesterday afternoon till now, a total of more than ten hours have passed. He had time to come up with a plan to deal with the board of directors and even attended the old man's funeral. Why didn't he have time to tell her that he woke up?
Aren't they the closest people in the world?
Why does she need to know everything from Song Yubai!
Shen Qianhe felt very aggrieved when she thought about how she fainted from crying last night because of what Dr. Li said, while he was discussing business matters with his friends.
Could it be that she is not as important as those old men?
The more Shen Qianhe thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she wanted to punch Xie Jincheng in the chest and ask him why he treated her like this.
Shen Qianhe asked with a choked voice, "Since he woke up yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"
"Cough cough..."
Song Yubai cleared his throat, considered his tone, and spoke carefully:
"That's the bad news I have for you."
"Thanks to him, I lost my memory..."
