"If you find it difficult..."
"Not difficult at all."
Ji Zheng answered her calmly, then he and Jing Chen went to cremate Shi Ning together.
"Song Xuechun is already being treated at the hospital. Let me send you back to the hotel for you to freshen up first."
"There's a clean jacket in the backseat, put that on for now."
As they got into the car, Zong Che instructed her through the rearview mirror.
In his impression, he had never seen Rong Dai so fiercely aggressive, covered in sharp thorns that kept anyone from getting close.
Rong Dai did not respond to him, simply putting on the jacket and staring out the window at the pouring rain.
Her gaze was darkly haunting, and in the corner where Zong Che could not see, her hands were trembling.
Zong Che escorted her back to the hotel and stood guard outside her room until she had finished freshening up.
Rong Dai spent a long time in the bathroom, crying for a long while.
She did not regret what she had done today, even if she had to do it all over again, she would absolutely not hesitate!
She also did not expect to truly see her elder sister again.
Thinking of An Feiran, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. The joy was still there, but overshadowed by apprehension and fear.
She had always been afraid to revisit the past, especially anything related to the Rong Mansion.
Because she felt guilty in her heart.
She had previously asked Huo Shao Ting if there was a possibility of this happening, and he had extinguished the hope in her heart with his answer.
But today, it had truly happened!
Her elder sister was still alive!
She wanted to go see her, but she was too scared.
In her previous life, her elder sister was so outstanding, so elegant and noble.
If not for her, her elder sister could have had a better husband, and her life would have been smooth sailing, peaceful and harmonious, a lifetime of success.
But all of this was ruined by her own foolishness!
What face did she have to meet her sister?
Zong Che waited outside for a long time without seeing her open the door, so he finally rang the doorbell.
Hearing the doorbell, Rong Dai was pulled back to her senses. She patted her face, "I'll be right there."
She then hurriedly grabbed a jacket to put on before going to open the door.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing her poor complexion, Zong Che asked with concern.
Rong Dai seemed extremely cold, pulling her jacket tighter around herself as she shook her head, "I'm fine, let's go to the hospital."
"Which hospital are Miss An and Xuechun at?"
Even if her elder sister were to scold her, she had to go.
She could no longer avoid or shrink back into her shell from the past.
"Why don't you rest at the hotel? I can go check on them."
"Don't worry, it's very safe at the hotel, nothing else will happen."
Seeing her demeanor was still poor, Zong Che thought about how this woman had to experience such a terrifying and dangerous situation, so it was understandable for her to still be shaken.
Rong Dai shook her head, but a wave of dizziness washed over her.
Before she could say anything, she collapsed to the ground.
...
"Sir."
Back home, Zhang Assistant received a call from Zong Che, and his heart nearly leapt out of his mouth!
Huo Shao Ting was handling some matters, but he had been restless and agitated all day, with an unsettling feeling that something would happen.
"Speak."
Zhang Assistant swallowed hard, not daring to look up at him.
"Zong Che called. The missus was ambushed in a shooting on her way back from Duke Bertelen's Mansion."
"It was Huo Ersi's people who set the trap. The missus's classmate was seriously injured and hospitalized. As for the missus herself..."
Bang!
Huo Shao Ting suddenly slammed his fist on the table, causing the documents to tremble.
"But the missus is unharmed, probably just in shock. She's resting at the hospital now!"
Zhang Assistant was so frightened he started shaking, feeling the prickling sensation on his scalp as he hurriedly reported.
"Book a flight."
Huo Shao Ting's eyes turned icy cold, his long slender fingers clenched into a fist, his lean and chiseled face bearing a sinister expression.
"Already booked, it leaves in an hour. Should we head to the airport now?"
Zhang Assistant inquired. As soon as he received the news, he had promptly arranged everything.
With such a major incident, even if Huo Corporation collapsed today, the boss would definitely go to Paris!
