The atmosphere in the hospital corridor was tense.

"Your father is on a business trip, so let me inform you, the wedding date is in three days, please get ready early."

Xing Miao's makeup couldn't hide the aloofness and disgust on her face. She looked at the silent young man before her with great impatience.

There's really no need to be ashamed of the children his former wife had.

If the Huo family hadn't suddenly insisted, the Shi family wouldn't have brought up this relationship either. They would never have let this bastard into the family.

"If it weren't for your father, with your disgraceful upbringing, you wouldn't even be able to dream of marrying into the Huo family. This is a blessing earned over countless lifetimes..."

Hearing this matter-of-fact tone of charity, Shihua almost laughed in anger.

Those who don't know think it's a great bargain.

Everyone says that the son of the Huo family has a serious illness and has been receiving treatment abroad, so he is still unmarried. Marrying his daughter to him would be like being a widow while still alive.

But the so-called "good father" that Xing Miao spoke of pushed her aside without hesitation, like a cheap product being used up.

"Xing Shi is not my mother." Shi Hua raised her head, her small face as pale as jade, "Such a good thing, you should fight for your son!"

Wu Sheng's composure, though pure and simple, was flawless. Even his faint eyebrows and eyes held a subtle aloofness that, in Xing Miao's view, was more cutting than words.

"Bang!"

Xing Miao raised his hand and slapped the face, fire blazing in his eyes.

"If you're not useful anymore, with the tone of voice you're using to speak to me now, you should die! The Shi family has already agreed to this marriage. Even if I had to tie you up, I would take you there!"

She touched her face, already numb.

Xing Miao raised her brow and glanced in the direction of the ward, warning, "Shi Hua, I advise you to agree obediently. Even if you have wings now, don't forget that old geezer is still here. If you dare to run, I'll have your catheter removed right now, and that hefty bill…".

Shihua's hands clenched tightly, anger interwoven with a dull, numb helplessness spreading through her heart.

Xing Miao had it figured out perfectly. Right now, there was no room for refusal.

Since I just declined the hospital's offer to pursue a doctorate, even if I immediately started working, my grandmother's illness wouldn't wait that long.

Shi Hua took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll marry you."

“Why didn't you realize this sooner? Even that old woman in there deserves some blame. You could have had it easier.” Xing Miao put back on her oversized sunglasses, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips. “When you get married, the rest of your medical expenses will be covered by your family.”

After finishing, he turned and left.

Not until the arrogant figure disappeared completely down the corridor did Shih Hua return, but she stood there with vacant eyes, leaning against the doorframe and bending her waist.

"Grandma, I'm sorry."

You said never to bow your head to Shijia, but I can't let anything happen to you.

—>

Three days later, the Shi family.

This was probably the most deserted wedding. The Huo family only sent one car.

Although his family was embarrassed, Shi Jia still put on a grand show.

As she was leaving, Xing Miao stopped Shihua.

"Be more obedient when you're there, or I can't guarantee what will happen at the hospital!"

Her eyelashes were long and delicate, her slender eyes lowered, concealing the faint displeasure that was about to overflow.

Black's chariot slowly drove out of the Shi Family, and as it went forward, the traffic noticeably increased. Shihua stared blankly out the window, her expression neither sad nor happy.

"Where to now?" he asked the driver.

"Miss Shi, madam has prepared dinner and is waiting for you and master."

Shi Hua slightly frowned, raising a question: “Isn’t your master recuperating abroad?”

The driver didn't answer, Shihua understood, and couldn't help but let out a light snort. In that place, you just had to follow the arrangements.

The car drove through most of the city and soon arrived at the Huo family's home.

The gate creaked open, revealing a stately and imposing mansion. This was where Kyoto's most influential figures gathered; a place of splendor and excitement, yet also one of chilling indifference.

For him, it was just jumping from one fire into another.

Bypass the green belt, not far parked a black Bentley.

The person in the Bentley did not move, but the driver immediately got out of the car and walked over respectfully. Shi Hua couldn't help but glance curiously at the scene. The window on the opposite side slowly rolled down, revealing a man's profile.

His bearing exuded an aura of royalty. His tailored suit was meticulously pressed, every crease in place; the top button fastened with a strictness that spoke volumes. In the dim lighting, his handsome and aloof profile stood out, sharply defined with nary a superfluous adornment, making him all the more compelling.

Perhaps sensing the gaze, the man raised his eyes. His aloof pupils were like cold stars in the winter night, and Shihua unexpectedly met them, her breath catching in her throat.

Besides his charisma, a man's appearance is top-notch. Even in the entertainment industry filled with handsome men, he would be considered one of the best. However, there has never been any news or report about him in any magazine.

In less than a second, the other party calmly withdrew their gaze, as if they were just air.

It seems like even one more glance feels excessive.

Unknowingly, just now, he had stirred up such astonishment and waves of emotion in the hearts of others.

"Grandpa, aren't you staying home for dinner? Today is..."

Before he could finish his words, Huo Quan coldly replied with an "um," his voice as frigid as ice. His unwavering attitude clearly showed that he had already made up his mind.

The driver nodded respectfully and didn't ask any further questions.

He stood there silently watching the Bentley drive away. After a while, he remembered Shi Hua in the back of the car and hurriedly opened the door.

"Miss Shi, it's time to get off. Madam has been waiting."

Those who come and go here are either wealthy or noble. It's not necessary for me to investigate anyone's background.

He nodded, and no longer tried to probe into anything. He followed him.

We walked all the way to the main building, and a servant led us.

A child of about twenty was coming up and down the balustraded stairs when he met someone, a flicker of disgust crossing his almond eyes.
