In that instant, Xiao Yao saw Ye Qing’s veins bulge, his teeth clenched, seemingly suppressing something.
The old man in the video lay in bed, pale-faced, coughing before speaking weakly: “Son, there’s something I must say before it’s too late, I…”
Another bout of coughing, then the old man continued: “Yue Ling told me about your situation. I asked her to come find you personally, no matter what, because… you are my son, do you understand? I don’t want to lose my son…”
The video ended.
”How is he… I mean, my father?” Ye Qing asked in a hoarse voice.
”He’s okay. His condition is stabilized. The doctor will do further tests. But he seems to be worried about you, his mood hasn’t been good, so I had to make this trip.” Although Hu Jia’s face was tense and her tone harsh, a certain helplessness and emotion leaked through her words.
She glanced at Ye Qing and continued: “I just want you to know, what I’m trying to retrieve is not just a company CEO, but a son… a son who cannot be easily replaced.
I will go back to see my father,” Ye Qing broke the silence.
“What about Huawei?” Hu Cang asked, finally looking directly at Xiao Yao. “Are you Xiao Yao?”
“I am,” Xiao Yao smiled nervously and nodded slightly.
“Do you think staying with him here will be better for his future prospects?”
Xiao Yao paused, straightened her expression, and met Hu Cang’s sharp gaze, calmly saying, “I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?” Hu Cang’s voice slightly raised.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao straightened her back. “Of course I don’t know. I believe in him. His future is in his own hands, not determined by my feelings. Besides, who knows what the future holds?”
“You…” Hu Cang was momentarily stunned, glancing at Ye Qing who seemed to be suppressing a laugh. Her displeasure surfaced, and she coldly looked around, saying, “Then let’s talk about the present. Don’t you want him to still be a CEO?”
“I hope so, but I hope more that he’s happy,” Xiao Yao gazed at Ye Qing tenderly, smiling calmly. “I said I believe in him, so no matter what he becomes, I’m willing to give myself to him.”
