Chapter 157: Chapter 157 The Conspiracy of the Xu Family Father and Daughter

The rainstorm had just ceased.

Hai City Hospital, Room 2121.

Liu Huimin, dressed extravagantly, gently wiped Liu Zongyun’s cheeks with a towel.

“Big brother, I’m really happy that you’ve woken up.” She said with a smile, her eyes as clear and bright as they were in her forties, full of charm.

Beauty unmarred by time.

Liu Zongyun looked at her calmly; after a few days of digestion, he was barely able to control his emotions.

“Xingluo and Guangyao will come to see you later. Today is Xingluo’s first day working at the Xu company. She always used to fuss about wanting to dance ballet and refused to join the company, I don’t know how she came around.”

When she spoke of Xu Xingluo, she showed signs of worry, “That child is so devoted to Huo Xingzhou, I know what she’s doing is not right. But I always want to indulge her, fortunately, Guangyao is smart and has a backup plan…”

In the midst of speaking.

Xu Xingluo, dressed in professional attire, and Xu Guangyao entered the ward.

“Uncle, I’m here to see you,” she greeted him with an innocent face and a beaming smile.

“Huimin, how is big brother doing today?” Xu Guangyao asked insincerely.

Liu Huimin spoke with relief, “The doctor says all his indicators are improving, he’s slowly recovering.”

Xu Guangyao was taken aback and managed a smile, “That’s good news.”

Xu Xingluo affectionately took Liu Huimin’s hand and said, “Mom, let me stay overnight tonight. Grandma is sick, you can’t fall ill too. As a niece, I should spend more time with uncle.”

“But Xingluo, you have to go to work, mom is worried about you,” she replied.

Xu Xingluo said obediently, “I’m more worried about you, mom.”

Liu Huimin was moved to tears, “My Xingluo has grown up.”

The Liu family cared deeply for Liu Zongyun, and personal care was always handled by family members for fear that caregivers wouldn’t be devoted enough.

It was Old Mrs. Liu a few days ago, but she fell ill after staying up two nights due to her old age.

Tonight it was Liu Huimin’s turn.

Xu Xingluo found the opportunity to intervene. Liu Huimin was completely unaware of her daughter’s misconduct, and was touched by how understanding Xu Xingluo had become.

“Huimin, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Husband, what is it?”

“Xingluo did very well at the company today, she has a natural talent for business. I’m thinking of gradually handing the company over to Xingluo, what do you think?” Xu Guangyao said cheerfully.

Liu Huimin smiled brightly, “Husband, it’s great that you think this way. I’ve always been worried that you would favor sons over daughters.”

Xu Guangyao wrapped his arms around her and said, “My daughter is my treasured sweetheart. What I’m thinking is, you still have 20% of the Xu company’s shares. Could you transfer them to Xingluo’s name first? If she owns shares, she’ll be able to establish herself in the company.”

Liu Huimin was completely trusting, she had no reservations about her own daughter.

“Of course, there’s no problem. Just draft the share transfer agreement and I’ll sign it. Xingluo is my treasure; I’m willing to give her everything.”

Xu Xingluo’s lips curled up with a hint of a smile, “Mom is so good to me!”

“Heh…”

Liu Zongyun, laying in the hospital bed, let out a distressed gasp.

He widened his eyes and gasped, don’t give them the shares!

Xu Guangyao hid his ruthlessness, and with a smile said, “Look, even big brother is happy for us!”

“Big brother must be consoled seeing us so happy,” Liu Huimin cuddled up to him and said sweetly.

Xu Xingluo tugged the corner of her mouth, with a cold sneer hidden in her eyes.

“Mom, you and dad go home first. I’ll stay here and take care of uncle. I’ll call you if anything happens.”

“Okay.”

Liu Huimin responded.

Xu Guangyao held her as they walked out, turning his head to give Xu Xingluo a knowing look.

Xu Xingluo nodded subtly.

After watching her parents leave, she finally closed the door of the ward and hesitated for a moment before locking it.

She moved closer, sitting by the bedside under the sharp gaze of Liu Zongyun.

If she had known about her own origins earlier, she would have never suggested for Qiao Xi to treat Liu Zongyun.

Who would have known that Qiao Xi really had the skills to wake him up!

Trouble has arisen, and now I have to deal with the aftermath!

“Uncle, I’ll keep watch tonight.” Xu Xingluo took out a glass cup from her LV bag and poured a glass of water for Liu Zongyun. “Drink some water.”

This cup was specially purchased with care, a glass cup for patients with severe influenza that hadn’t been sterilized.

Xu Guangyao had said that people in a vegetative state have extremely poor immune systems, and a viral infection would be enough to kill him. This method was very covert; no one would notice.

Thankfully, the hospital had assigned a private room instead of an intensive care unit. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to act with the surveillance cameras present.

“Uncle, drink some water.”

She brought the cup to Liu Zongyun’s lips, her fingers trembling as she did this for the first time.

Liu Zongyun couldn’t control his facial muscles and could only watch as she fed the water to him.

Xu Xingluo’s delicate and pretty face squeezed out a smile.

“Uncle, you’ve been a vegetable for so many years; you must be living a fate worse than death. If I were you, I’d rather die.”

The paternity test she had asked Xiang Huai to conduct had come back.

Indeed, she was not the biological daughter of Liu Huimin, just as Xu Guangyao had said.

She, Xu Xingluo, was the daughter of a mistress!

Thinking of this, Xu Xingluo was filled with hatred!

“How good it would be if you slept quietly! I wouldn’t have become so tormented by discovering my origins!”

Xu Xingluo muttered under her breath, her eyes red with bloodshot veins.

Liu Zongyun glared at her.

Xu Xingluo, feeling guilty and frightened by his glare, reached out to cover Liu Zongyun’s eyes.

“Uncle, don’t blame me. I can’t possibly let you wake up and tell everyone the truth.”

Every man for himself, or face the wrath of Heaven and Earth.

“Ha… poison…” Liu Zongyun weakly let out a gasp.

Malicious!

“You think I’m malicious? You can talk?” Xu Xingluo panicked at the speed of his recovery. She feared that by tomorrow, Liu Zongyun would be able to reveal the truth. Her panic caused her to kick a stool.

In her frantic state, she angrily grabbed a silver needle from the bedside tray and jabbed it into Liu Zongyun’s body.

She poked him repeatedly with the needle.

“How can you speak! You mustn’t say anything!”

She was terrified and acting crazy!

Xu Xingluo hated Liu Zongyun to death, thinking that it was he who had ruined her life!

“Ha ha…”

Liu Zongyun let out a painful groan.

He tensed his muscles, attempting to resist, but he was powerless.

Panting heavily, Xu Xingluo stopped her actions and, looking down at Liu Zongyun revengefully, said, “Dad mentioned that the baby girl, your niece, was already dead back then.”

When Liu Zongyun heard this, his heart ached unbearably. Tears gathered in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks into the pillow.

When that child was born, he had secretly gone to the nursery to hold her and had tucked a piece of yellow jade into her embrace, hoping she would grow up safe, happy, and treasured by everyone.

Xu Guangyao was ruthless, even capable of harming his own flesh and blood!

“Feeling heartbroken? You’ll be able to see her soon.”

Xu Xingluo stood by the patient bed, looking down at him from high above, “When you’re gone, I’ll burn plenty of paper money for you.”

Xu Xingluo calmed her breathing, put the glass cup back into her bag, and walked out, carrying the bag.

Throughout the long night, she had no intention of staying in this hospital room; even faking her presence would suffice.

In the morning, she’d just find an excuse. The elders wouldn’t blame her.

After all, she was the only girl from two prestigious families, the jewel held in their palms!

She twisted the doorknob, opening the door to the sickroom.

And immediately faced a pair of scrutinizing, indifferent eyes; the man blocked her way out.

Xu Xingluo was startled, dropping her bag to the floor with a crisp sound as the glass shattered.

In the silent corridor, the noise was especially jarring.
