Autor: Qian Feifei Tradução automática

Bang!

Qian Anzhi went upstairs and glared at Qian Momo, who was standing in the corridor with Li Xue. "I knew it. Why did Dad suddenly have a concussion? So you're the culprit!"

"I'm the culprit? I didn't do it on purpose," Qian Momo said guiltily and quickly went back to her room.

Momo was very depressed. Anzhi had entered the house at the exact time she and her mother were talking about what had happened, and he had heard everything. When Anzhi suddenly ran upstairs towards them, Momo was shocked, and she was too nervous to say anything. She was dumbfounded and couldn't say anything. She realized that it was too late to say anything at all.

Qian Anzhi slammed the door and quickly went to get his father's clothes. He was in a hurry. He wanted to tell Shuishui about what he had found out. He wasn't very sure how she would react.

Before he left, he said loudly, "A person like you is a waste of the country's rice grains."

Anzhi left in a huff, slamming the door behind him. Qian Momo was so angry that she almost rushed out to argue with Qian Anzhi, but she didn't. Her mother had told her not to say too much and not to try too hard to justify her actions so other people wouldn't hear about what happened. If people found out about what she did, she would be talked about. What she did was unforgivable.

Qian Anzhi hurriedly went to the hospital and looked for the ward. He saw that his father had already rested. Shuishui was sitting by the window, reading. He gently put down his things. "Sis, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Shuishui put down her book and walked out with Qian Anzhi. She crossed her arms and leaned her back against the wall. "What's wrong?"

Anzhi glanced around them and made sure that there was no one around. "Sis, it was Big Sister who pushed Dad, and that's why he had a concussion!" Anzhi still couldn't believe it. How could Big Sister push their father? If the injury had been more serious, could their father have fallen into a coma?

Shuishui's hand trembled slightly. "How did you know?"

"When I went back to get my things and Dad's clothes, I heard Big Sister crying, and she admitted it to Mom. I rushed upstairs to confront her, but she ran to her room and hid there until I left. I even yelled at her before I left." Anzhi knew that Momo was guilty. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been saying so much about it.

Shuishui sighed. "Then why did Dad not say anything? No wonder he had that expression. He was pushed by his own daughter and was injured from it. No matter how disappointed he is in her, she is still his daughter."

"Sis, what should we do?" Qian Anzhi asked in a low voice. He felt very uncomfortable. How could his Big Sister do that?

Shuishui shook her head. "Don't worry about it. Dad wouldn't want us to do anything. If we interfere, it might cause more trouble. However, why would Big Sister push Dad? I can't believe her. Where's her conscience?"

"We can only keep this to ourselves then." Qian Anzhi also knew that it was a sensitive matter and had to be kept within the family.

Shuishui asked Qian Anzhi to watch over their father in the ward. She went to look for food and returned to the hospital. Fortunately, it was the weekend, so Qian Anzhi could stay in the hospital to take care of Qian An.

Shuishui walked out of the hospital in a bad mood. She suddenly thought of how to ask their father. When she returned with the food, Qian An had already woken up. Shuishui said, "Dad, I bought a set of rib porridge. Do you want to try it?"

"Yes, in a while." He sat up and leaned against the side, looking out of the window.

Shuishui opened the table and placed the porridge on it. "Dad, did Big Sister go to work at the office already?"

"Yes." Qian An nodded. He reached out for the porridge and said, "Let me have a taste first."

He clearly didn't want to talk about Momo anymore. The thought of her both annoyed and hurt him. Shuishui realized this and didn't ask any further. Shuishui was worried about how Momo would behave at the office. She was a vain person who liked to show off. She was proud and haughty. On the other hand, their father was a very strict person who valued honesty and integrity. How would Momo behave with being given a low-ranking position?

Shuishui arranged the dishes for her father. "Dad, you can only eat light dishes now. Don't eat these other oily foods."

"Okay. I'll listen to you." He looked at Shuishui with a smile.

Shuishui and Qian Anzhi sat at the side and also enjoyed their dinner. The two of them also ate quietly, not knowing what to say. Shuishui was very sad and anxious about the whole situation. "Dad, let the other shareholders help you manage the company in the next few days. You should rest well in the following days."

Qian Anzhi nodded in agreement. Qian An said, "Okay. I plan to get a break and rest for a while. I've already told them that I won't be bothered with company affairs during this time. Shuishui and Anzhi, you don't have to stay in the hospital. I am comfortable here, and I get to rest well here. If I need anything, I can just ring the bell."

Shuishui ate her meatball. She said, "Dad, it's fine. I'll take a three-day leave next week. When you're discharged, I'll go back to school and attend classes again. Also, Dad, are you still worried about my studies? A few days won't affect my performance in school."

Shuishui had made up her mind that she would stay. She would only be at ease when her father would be discharged from the hospital in good health. She was worried that Li Xue and Momo wouldn't take good care of him, so she knew she had to step up.

Qian An couldn't win against Shuishui. "Okay, okay, okay. Dad must recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll implicate the both of you and make you feel uncomfortable."

Shuishui peeled a pear. "Daddy, eat this after dinner."

"I want to eat an apple," he said while looking at the pear.

"Daddy, it's not good to eat apples at night. I'll buy some for you tomorrow morning," Shuishui said. She handed the pear slices to her father over and peeled another for Anzhi.

"I'll request for a foldable bed later. I'll sleep here tonight," Shuishui said.

Qian Anzhi nodded. "I'll stay too. It's Saturday tomorrow anyway."

"Then I'll have the sofa and you'll have the foldable bed. We can ask for it later." Hospital management would lend foldable beds to family members for their convenience.

Shuishui and Anzhi tidied up after dinner and went to the front desk to request for a folding bed.

The two siblings attended to Qian An's needs. The next day, Li Xue went to the hospital. She saw that the two children were there and were chatting and laughing with Qian An. That morning, she had received a call from her brother saying that the company was now in the hands of other shareholders. This was very dangerous. The other shareholders were all outsiders, and Li Xue felt that they were trying their best to gain control of the company.

When Li Xue heard this, she became anxious. It was their family's business, so how could they let outsiders take over? That morning, she had asked the helper to make soup for her to bring to the hospital. At the hospital, Qian An and his two children were chatting quite happily when Li Xue walked in. She said, "Hubby, I made this soup for you. What else do I need to do? How about Momo?"

Qian An glanced at Li Xue and said, "You just need to lock up your own child."

What he meant to say was very clear: Keep Qian Momo in check. If it wasn't for Li Xue's way of teaching and her spoiling Momo, he wouldn't have been hospitalized.

Li Xue laughed dryly and said, "Shuishui, go get a spoon and chopsticks quickly. I forgot to bring some when I left the house."

Qian Shuishui nodded and went out to the hospital cafeteria to get them.

Qian Anzhi looked at his mother. "Mom, the doctor just left. Dad is not allowed to eat nutrient-dense food."

"Ah, this soup isn't very nutritious. It's just braised chicken with ginseng." Li Xue sat at the side and looked at Qian An's cold and indifferent attitude. She quickly found the opportunity to speak. "Hubby, now that you're not in the company, the company is in a mess. Why don't—"

Qian An cut Li Xue short. "The other shareholders will handle it. Don't worry." Qian An trusted and had faith in his other partners, who were all excellent managers. Just because he delegated authority to them didn't mean that he was no longer the major shareholder. He had already thought it through. In spite of the bottleneck, he knew he could trust the other shareholders. Moreover, they had their own people and had already caught the people who were not trustworthy. The most important thing for him was to recover. It was fine if he took a break.

Li Xue looked at Qian An's indifferent attitude and said, "Hubby, they are, after all, outsiders."

"There's no need to say more. That's how it is. It's normal for the second shareholder to take over in my absence. We can't let those who have nothing to do with the company take over. Who will be responsible for any lapses then?" Qian An said sternly.

Li Xue moved her lips but didn't continue. She didn't have a say in the company's affairs because she wasn't a shareholder, and her brother didn't have any shares, so he didn't have any rights either.

However, she felt uncomfortable because Qian An's attitude was too serious. Did he have to be so serious with his wife?

Shuishui came over with a small bowl and a spoon. "Dad, let me help you with that," she said.

Shuishui looked at Li Xue, who didn't look too good. "Dad, it's almost noon. I've checked the food at the cafeteria. They're prepared pretty light dishes. I'll go out and buy you some food and vegetables."

Qian An stopped Shuishui. "There's no need. Order takeout and bring it up. It'll save you time from walking around. You can use your extra time to read some books." Qian An's heart ached when he saw that his children were doing errands for him.

Shuishui sat on the sofa and remained silent.

They were peaceful in that room, but the company was in an uproar.

After the second shareholder took over, their attitude towards Qian Momo was extremely cold. Qian Momo felt bored when she came to work that day. According to the policy, employees would have to ask for permission if they wanted to leave early. Momo, who was an entitled and proud young lady, didn't ask permission at all and left of her own accord. CEO Mo didn't treat Qian Momo any differently simply because she was the daughter of Qian An.

When CEO Mo saw Momo, he said, "According to the company's rules, there are only two valid reasons for an employee to leave work early. One is if you're sick. You have to provide a hospital treatment certificate after that. The other is if you're on a business errand for the company. You don't seem to be sick. And as a basic staff member, you can't represent the company for any business errands. Why did you leave early?"

"I just felt dizzy and wanted to go home to rest." Although Qian Momo was angry, it was a critical period for her. She had to restrain her temper. She kept reminding herself that it was her fault why her father was hospitalized and that she did not do it on purpose.

CEO Mo wanted to see her medical certificate. "Go to the hospital and ask for a certificate to prove that you feel dizzy. Also, you are not seriously ill. Get a medical record and bring it to me."

"Uncle Mo, what do you mean?" Qian Momo felt that she was being targeted. She felt wronged, especially because her father was the head of the company.

"Here, you have to call me President Mo." President Mo hated people who used their connections to get into the company. However, Qian An was a very principled man. Even if Momo was allowed to join the company, she was told to start in a low position. She would still undergo the assessment and performance evaluation practices of the company. CEO Mo and his other fellow shareholders had invested in Qian An's company because they knew he was a trustworthy person.

Although Qian An was injured, he heard from some insiders that he had been deliberately pushed and fell, resulting in a mild concussion. Someone even said that it was Qian Momo who pushed him. Although CEO Mo didn't know the exact details, he had a very bad impression of Qian Momo. He didn't intend to be lenient with her. He didn't want the other employees to think that he was being unfair.

Qian Momo was agitated and started to rant. "You, my father is the president. If you continue to treat me like this, I will tell my father."

CEO Mo sneered and said, "Go ahead and tell him."

"You—" Qian Momo suddenly lost her confidence. She flung her hands and walked away from CEO Mo, returning to her seat. The surrounding colleagues were all pointing at her. She sat down, unable to feel at ease. It was as if there was something stuck in her chest that she could not say.

That night, after returning home, she told her mother about it. Li Xue was angry, but she could not do anything about it. Qian Momo had pushed Qian An. She tried to understand the fact that Qian An must be angry with Momo.

Li Xue was also very angry. "Bear with it. You're too insensible. You pushed your own father and injured him. How could you do such a thing? Did I teach you to act like that?"

Qian Momo continued to cry. "Mom, I really didn't do it on purpose. At that time, I don't know what happened to me. I just felt steam coming out of my head. I stretched out my hand, and the next thing I knew, Father fell down."

Momo really knew that she was wrong. She didn't expect that what she had done would end up like that. She was too scared to even see her father.

Li Xue was also a little angry with her daughter. "Go and apologize to your father tomorrow. Tell him that you know that you've made a mistake. You can do whatever you want." Momo should have gone to the hospital that day, but she backed out.

Qian Momo was in great distress. "Mom, can I go in a few days? I'm so scared."

"No. Shuishui and Anzhi are both taking care of your father in the hospital now, but you're hiding at home. What will other people think? What will your father think?" Li Xue slammed the table hard. "Whether you want to or not, you have to go. I can't let you be like this anymore."

Momo kept crying. She was very afraid.

Li Xue looked at Momo and pitied her. She reached out to comfort her. After all, she was the child she loved the most. Her heart ached when she saw Momo crying like a baby. "Be good. Listen to Mommy and apologize to Daddy. Daddy will definitely forgive you. You're his daughter. You're also his first child. Although he's in the hospital, he didn't say anything about what you did. It's obvious that he loves you."

"Does Daddy really love me still?" Qian Momo was extremely afraid of seeing her father face-to-face after what had happened, but she looked forward to her father's forgiveness.

Li Xue nodded her head heavily and looked at her daughter "Trust me. Daddy won't hurt you. What happened was just an accident. Everyone knows that. You shouldn't think about it too much. Just focus on finding a way to fix it. Show your best side to your father. This time, you have to admit your mistakes. Be serious and admit your mistakes honestly. Do not make any excuses. You know that Daddy hates it when you keep giving reasons or excuses."

"Yes, I know. Mom, come with me to the hospital. I'm so afraid to go there alone," Momo pleaded.

Seeing that Momo was willing to go, Li Xue smiled in satisfaction. "Good daughter. I will definitely go with you."

After comforting her daughter, Li Xue called her big brother and told him about what Qian An had told her. She was afraid that she could not give them power over the company. Qian An was very decisive about it, and he made it clear that only the shareholders could take over. Qian An had made it very clear that he would be angry if she continued to pester him about it.
