Too many things were squeezed into her mind. Shi Niange did not speak and only looked at the ceiling.
“If you need it, I can hold it for you for a while. With the Xiao family’s help, those people won’t dare to play any tricks on the surface for the time being, but the Xiao family isn’t surnamed Shi. After a long time, I won’t be able to suppress those people. You still have to rely on yourself,” Xiao Luye said. “I know it’s difficult for you to accept what I’m telling you now, but Nian Nian, because of your parents’ accident, the Shi family has been pushed to this point. If I say it now, it’ll be the same as saying it in a few days. You need to become strong. When you want to cry, remember to not let those people see you.”
Shi Niange took a deep breath. When she breathed, her mouth trembled. Her hands slowly clenched into fists. She finally spoke, but her voice was hoarse as though there were countless grains of sand in it.
“Does my grandfather know?”
“I’m not sure if Professor Yang knows about what happened, but he is your mother’s father after all. When you received the news, I think he already knew.” Xiao Luye looked at her. “But he shouldn’t be able to find time to come here immediately. No matter how sad he is, it won’t help. I’ll call him and arrange for him to come as soon as possible.”
Shi Niange suddenly turned her eyes and said, “I want to give Grandfather a call.”
All of a sudden, she really, really wanted to talk to her grandfather. Ever since she was young, when her parents weren’t by her side, she only had her grandfather by her side. Now that her mother was in trouble, her grandfather couldn’t rush over immediately. As a young person, she would be fine after a nap after being stimulated. What about her grandfather?
Seeing her red and anxious eyes, Xiao Luye picked up the phone by her bedside, glanced at it, and then said, “Your phone card doesn’t have a transnational communication business. It shouldn’t be able to connect. Do you want to use my phone?”
Shi Niange nodded.
When she received Xiao Luye’s phone she sniffed and said, “Can you help me apply for the function you mentioned? Also, help me prepare an ID, okay?”
“All right, leave this to me.” Xiao Da walked over and took Shi Niange’s phone. After fiddling with it and looking at it for a while, he originally said mockingly, “Sure enough, only girls like this kind of pink-white phone. It’s so damn annoying.” However, when he thought of the Shi family’s situation, he didn’t dare to really mock her. He touched his nose, looked at Xiao Luye by the bed, and then looked at Shi Niange. He felt that standing here seemed to be a hindrance, so he simply took her phone and left.
Shi Niange called her grandfather. As expected, he already knew. There was still one last project to be completed in the laboratory today. He had to be in the laboratory and could not leave. He could only leave tonight at the earliest.
She hugged her phone and hid in the bathroom alone in the ward. She sat on the toilet bowl and called her grandfather while crying. She cried for a long time. In the end, her grandfather told her hoarsely, “Nian Nian, it’s time for you to grow up.”
Shi Niange hung up the phone and sat in the bathroom. She hugged her phone and continued crying. After crying enough, she was tired. She only got up and walked out when Xiao Luye came to knock on the door.
Afterward, she went to the mortuary to take one last look at her mother.
Then she quietly walked out and stood outside the mortuary. She felt the cold air around her and silently looked out of the window.
She didn’t even have the time to think about anything other than her parents, the Shi family, and the hospital. When she received the news last night, she flew over overnight. When she arrived at the hospital, it was already afternoon in China. However, it was after midnight in Los Angeles. Afterward, she fell unconscious and woke up. Then, she came to the mortuary and spent the whole day there.
Now that the sky had turned dark again, as expected, the people from the company came to look for them. They pretended to take one last look at Vice President Yang and then to see how Chairman Shi’s injuries were. Then they surrounded her father’s ward and discussed in low voices what to do about the company in the future. They said that Chairman Shi’s legs were crippled and he would probably have to resign soon.
Shi Niange heard all of this. She walked out of the mortuary and walked to her father’s ward. She stood at the end of the corridor and looked at the hypocritical directors and so-called partners of the Shi family’s company. All of them were hypocrites.
It turned out that in front of the life that had just passed away, they would not consider pitying or feeling sad. They would even be stingy to shed a sincere tear. When they heard that Yang Zhenzhen was dead, they were not thinking about how this familiar person had actually passed away. They were not thinking about how to replace the position of vice-president. They were thinking about how to obtain the position of chairman when Chairman Shi stepped down and how to fight for the shares.
These topics were completely unfamiliar to Shi Niange. She had never thought that one day, she would stand here alone and look directly at the cold-blooded partners her parents had been working with for years.
She stood there silently.
She usually did not come to the United States and did not go to the company, so the higher-ups in the company did not know her.
She continued to stand there and watch them talk, listening to their whispers.
Even if one of the directors sensed something and raised their eyes to look in her direction, seeing that it was a young and pale young lady, they thought that she was a patient from one of the wards in this hospital, so they retracted their gaze and continued to talk.
Today, when she cried on the phone to her grandfather, he asked her, “Nian Nian, do you still want to continue studying medicine? You’re almost in your third year. If you stay for a few more years and find a good place to intern, you’ll become an official doctor.”
The answer in her heart was that she wanted to continue.
But how could she continue?
It seemed that in one night, everyone was urging her to grow up. If she didn’t grow up, all of her parents’ efforts to start a business in the past few years would go down the drain. Her mother knew that she was seriously ill, but she still stayed at her position every day. She was busy with the company’s matters every day and did not rest for a moment. Shida Group was her father and mother’s hard work.
Even if she knew nothing about this field, could she watch as her parents’ hard work was taken away by someone else?
Shi Niange turned around and looked at the starry sky outside the window.
It was ten in the evening in Los Angeles.
On the other side of the world, at ten in the morning, the busy life began. There were only a few days left until the new year’s Spring Festival. It was also only a few days away from her birthday.
She lowered her head to look at the window sill. She raised her hand and placed her fingers on the cold marble window sill. Bit by bit, she knocked and tapped, as though her heart was beating.
