"I'll ask you one last time," Aisen said in a deep voice, "Do you apologize or not?"
Ai Qi was unwilling to bow her head in front of Shen Qingqing and confronted her brother like this. But as time slowly passed, the stopwatch, which had been ticking fast, seemed to slow down infinitely by her ears.
"Tick, tick, tick,"
Her heartbeat, however, quickened with this sound.
Aisen remained unmoved.
Ai Qi finally understood that she had no room to retreat today. "I apologize, Shen Qingqing. I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm sorry to you..."
As she apologized, she stared intently at the floor tiles beneath her feet.
Shen Qingqing waved her hand. "Your apology lacks sincerity, so I don't accept it. However, I don't necessarily need your apology. Aisen, you know what I want."
Aisen didn't want to push his sister too hard. Since she had apologized, he stopped holding onto Ai Qi and took a rectangular box from his bag, placing it on the coffee table.
"This is what you want."
Shen Qingqing opened the box and saw a herb lying quietly inside. This herb looked very unremarkable, with red fruits growing on green stems, and lush green leaves at the bottom.
However, it was this herb that could save her grandmother's life.
She closed the box, and finally a sincere smile appeared on her face for the first time that day. "Aisen, thank you."
Aisen also smiled. "You're welcome. This is what I should do. My sister has caused you too much trouble during this time. I apologize on her behalf and guarantee that she will never come to Huaxia again. After we return, I will discipline her properly."
"Are you leaving now?"
Shen Qingqing had heard the meaning of farewell from his painting.
Aisen nodded, grabbed his sister's wrist without looking back, successfully preventing her attempt to sneak away. "There are still some matters in the family that need to be handled. I'll take her back now to prevent her from causing further trouble. If you ever visit there, remember to come to my house as a guest."
Shen Qingqing nodded. "I'll see you out."
Aisen said with a smile, "No need. I know you're in a hurry to save your grandmother. You should hurry to the hospital with the herb. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again."
He then took his sister onto the plane and left the capital of Huaxia. As for what Ai Qi would face after returning...
Only she would know.
Shen Qingqing took the herb to the hospital and quickly handed it over to the doctor for her grandmother. The herb was very effective. Less than an hour after taking it, her grandmother's complexion visibly improved.
"Grandmother, how do you feel?"
"Much better," Madam Xiao raised her hand and touched her arm. "My bones don't hurt anymore. I was in pain all over before, couldn't sleep at night, and had no energy during the day..."
Shen Qingqing said with a smile, "It's good that it's effective. This herb can completely cure your illness. From now on, you just need to rest and recuperate."
Madam Xiao was also very happy and knew how much effort her granddaughter had put into obtaining this herb.
"You've worked hard. If it weren't for you constantly working on this herb during this time... I don't know if I would have been able to get through this."
Shen Qingqing said softly, "What are you talking about? We are family. Isn't it my duty to be filial to you?"
Madam Xiao patted her hand. "You silly child, you don't need to work so hard for many things. Grandma just wants you to be well, happy, and content."
Shen Qingqing smiled slightly. "Grandmother, I will only be happy if you are all healthy and well."
As they were speaking, Madam Fu arrived at the ward with the two children. Madam Xiao was quite surprised to see her.
Especially the twins, who ran to the bedside and surrounded her, asking many questions and showing great concern. Madam Xiao felt that her emotions, which had been suppressed in the hospital, seemed to have improved significantly.
Just as the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, Shen Qingqing received a call from Ke Lin.
"Miss Shen, quickly check the internet! Forget it, I'll send you the video!"
After Shen Qingqing hung up, she opened the video. The protagonist in the video was Fu Tingyi.
He held up a diagnostic certificate.
In front of the camera, he said earnestly, "I didn't want to make this public, but seeing as he's still hiding it from everyone, I really can't stand it anymore. Fu Jingshu has dyslexia."
The diagnosis clearly stated it.
And the date was twenty years ago.
The paper was already a bit worn, and it didn't look like it was recently forged. Most importantly, it had the stamp of the City Central Hospital.
The name of the attending physician was also very clear.
Fu Tingyi said, "The attending physician went abroad for further studies five years ago and is now a medical professor at a hospital abroad. He cannot return, but I called him before, and he is willing to testify for me."
As soon as this was said, the reporters were in an uproar.
From this, it could be determined with 100% certainty that this was true.
This video instantly went viral.
Suddenly, rumors about Fu Jingshu flooded the internet. Everyone was discussing how a man with dyslexia could become the CEO of such a large group.
Fu Jingshu was under much discussion.
Of course, this also affected the company.
Shen Qingqing rushed home with the children and saw Fu Jingshu processing documents in his study. He looked up when he heard the sound, his expression as calm as ever, and his eyes as tender as before.
"You're back."
He closed the documents and placed them aside.
Shen Qingqing exchanged glances with the two children. Qingqing patted them on the shoulder, and the children intelligently left the study.
Shen Qingqing walked towards Fu Jingshu.
"Are you alright?"
Fu Jingshu hummed. "What could be wrong with me?"
"..." Shen Qingqing's lips moved, but looking at his calm and self-possessed eyes, she suddenly found herself unable to ask anything.
Never mind. Since he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.
She gently pulled Fu Jingshu's arm and naturally sat on his lap. "I've seen the news online. Don't pay attention to what those people say. They're all jealous of you."
"Jealous of me?"
"Yes, jealous that you're handsome, young, successful in your career, and have such a beautiful wife." Shen Qingqing touched her smooth cheek and pretended to sigh mournfully, "Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I fall in love with myself. How can I be so beautiful."
Fu Jingshu chuckled. "My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world, and no one can compare to you."
"You're quite sweet-mouthed today."
Shen Qingqing smiled brightly.
Fu Jingshu's voice was deep and gentle. "It has nothing to do with being sweet-mouthed. It's what I truly feel."
"I'll reluctantly believe you," Shen Qingqing pressed his shoulder and stood up. "It's noon now, and we should go eat."
Fu Jingshu hummed and let her lead him out of the study.
After eating, Shen Qingqing returned to her room first and called Ke Lin.
"Did you see the news online?"
"Yes, Miss Shen. Does Master Fu really have dyslexia?"
