Chapter 151 - I Promise You (1/2)

After saying that, Xia Luobing picked up her bag and left. He heard Feng Shuo’s firm voice from behind, “Bing Bing, you will agree. Right now, only I can save your father’s company.”

Charlotte stopped and walked out of the cafe slowly with her back straight. Early summer morning was still cold. The wind blew on her cheeks, but her primal brain did not have the slightest sense of clarity. Could it be that she really had no other choice?

There was a black Lincoln parked on the road opposite the cafe. The man in the car wore wide sunglasses and coldly instructed the driver, “Go back to the hotel.”

Xia Luobing sat in the car in a daze. It took her a long time to insert the key in and start the car. She had to sort it out. Maybe there was another way to save her father’s company.

At noon, Charlotte was about to drive off work to buy milk powder for Duo Duo when her phone rang.

Xia Luobing glanced at Xia Yan and picked up the phone, “Dad, I will …”

“Bing Bing, your father is sick in the hospital. Come quickly!” Wang Xiaoman’s anxious voice came from the phone, mixed with the nurse’s anxious urging voice.

“Which hospital? I’ll be there immediately!”

When Xia Luobing drove all the way to the hospital, Xia Yan had already been rescued from danger, but she still hadn’t woken up.

“What exactly is going on? Why did Dad suddenly faint?” Xia Luobing looked at the much older Xia Yan on the hospital bed and felt her heart tighten.

Because of her mother’s death and Wang Xiaoman, Xia Luobing had always been estranged from Xia Yan. The relationship had only eased up in recent years, but in her impression, her father had always been a strong existence. When did he become so old and fragile? The doctor said that if he hadn’t been sent to the hospital in time, he would have almost been unable to be rescued

So, she almost had no father

Wang Xiaoman wiped away her tears and choked, “Bing Bing, your father was in a hurry because of the company’s affairs. That’s why he …”

Xia Luobing frowned and looked at Wang Xiaoman. This seductive woman who always liked to wear red clothes seemed to have aged a lot, and it was very different from what she remembered.

Ever since Charlotte left City A five years ago, it was as if she had disappeared. She had never given her family any news. Wang Xiaoman was also worried.

Wang Xiaoman sobbed, “Bing Bing, the company is your father’s lifetime of hard work. You can’t just watch as he suddenly becomes destitute at his age …” She wanted to live a good life and Xia Yan to be fine, so she was truly sad at this moment. “Auntie knows that it’s a bit difficult for you to say that, but there’s really no other way …”

Xia Luobing glanced at Xia Yan on the hospital bed. She released her grip and clenched it tightly. Many images flashed in her mind. Finally, she said in a low voice, “Take good care of your father.”

After saying that, Xia Luobing turned around and left the ward. He heard Wang Xiaoman shouting anxiously, “Bing Bing, where are you going …”

The smell of disinfectant was everywhere in the hospital. The white walls, the nurses in white coats shuttling between the haggard patients, exuded a depressed aura everywhere. It made Xia Luobing feel as if her heart was tightly gripped by someone, and she felt painful to scratch one by one.

“Feng Shuo, I agree to your conditions.” After saying that, Xia Luobing hung up the phone and collapsed into a chair in the corridor of the hospital. The corner of her mouth was filled with helplessness as she muttered, “I’m sorry …”

It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating her, pushing her to a similar intersection to make a similar choice. Her heart was tormented by hot oil, and every minute and second was a painful torture.

Half an hour later, Xia Luobing saw Feng Shuo at the entrance of the hospital. He was still wearing the suit and coat of the morning. The excitement on his face could not be concealed.

“Bing Bing, I will help my uncle’s company through the difficulties. You can rest assured.” Feng Shuo said excitedly. He reached out and grabbed Xia Luobing’s arm. He didn’t get angry when she avoided him. He continued, “I’ll go back to the company to deal with this matter immediately. I’ll come find you later.”

Charlotte looked at Feng Shuo expressionlessly. Her voice was so quiet that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any moment. “Feng Shuo, are you really going to do this? I still have flowers.”

“Bing Bing, I’ve been waiting for you for five years. I don’t want to continue waiting like this.” Feng Shuo restrained his emotions and stared at Xia Luobing, expressing his attitude, “As for the child, I will treat her well, but we will also have our own child, right?”

Xia Luobing hated the way Feng Shuo looked at him. He turned his head away and said, “When the Xia Corporation passes through the crisis, I will fulfill my promise.”

“No problem.” Feng Shuo agreed straightforwardly and took a deep look at Xia Luobing. The corner of his mouth curled up, “Bing Bing, I believe you.”

Feng Shuo drove away excitedly. After waiting for so many years, Xia Luobing was finally going to return to him.

“Have the CFO come in.” As soon as Feng Shuo entered the president’s office, he notified his secretary, Linda, “Immediately.”

Linda’s figure was enchanting, but she had a pure face. Upon hearing Feng Shuo’s instructions, she gently replied, “Alright, President Feng.”

Ever since she became Feng Shuo’s Principal Secretary, her heart had been tied to this man. Unfortunately, this man never paid attention to her, but it didn’t matter. After all, he didn’t have any women around him. As long as his sexual orientation was normal, she would definitely get what she wanted.

Linda knocked on the CFO’s door and said, “Director Hua, President Feng, please come over.”
