Gu Shengyin paused for a mont upon hearing this.
The Doctor felt he couldn’t quite understand the young lady standing before him.
She stood there with her head slightly lowered, clearly still showing no emotion earlier, yet now with her posture, the bleak hospital corridor lighting on the top of her head gave an impression of extre sadness.
This was the grief felt by Chong Yuji’s body for her father.
No matter how many unpleasant things he did to her, for Chong Yuji, he was still that father who lifted her high and played horseback riding when she was little.
She said softly, "Please do your utmost, using the best dication, to make him... feel better."
The Doctor nodded.
He had heard this many tis; every family mber hopes their loved ones can get better.
But the final outco is not sothing within human control.
Gu Shengyin watched Chong Minggang being wheeled into the ward; feeling sowhat suffocated, she went outside to get so air.
In that fresh air, she encountered a familiar face.
Zhong Sheng’s stepmother, the second Madam of the Zhong Family Chairman.
Lady Zhong was a bit surprised to see Gu Shengyin, but after hesitating for a mont, she still managed a smile.
"Yuji... oh no, now I should call you, Chairman Chong."
Gu Shengyin didn’t have much affection for this woman, but she didn’t dislike her either.
She nodded lightly, "Lady Zhong."
Lady Zhong remained unperturbed by her coldness and inquired with genuine concern, "Chairman Chong at the hospital..."
Gu Shengyin replied, "My father is having so health issues."
Lady Zhong understood.
She didn’t say much more.
It’s certain that Lady Zhong didn’t believe there was much of a relationship between the new chairman of Chong Corporation and her father.
Had the relationship been good, would he have been forced to step down?
Yet, history is often written by the victors, and with Gu Shengyin’s successful ascent, demonstrating abilities no less than, and even slightly surpassing, her father’s, no one would say much anymore.
Lady Zhong said, "I’m here this ti for our Zhong Sheng..."
When she spoke, there was no sadness on her face, just a slight hint of emotion.
This is sothing Gu Shengyin quite admired about this woman.
She wasn’t Zhong Sheng’s biological mother, and always maintained a distant attitude towards her stepson.
Yet she never mistreated him.
Lady Zhong understood that in a prestigious family like the Zhong’s, feigning affection for a stepson often brought more trouble and made people suspicious of her intentions.
So, from the start, she made her stance clear: not close, but not cold.
Throughout the years, Lady Zhong and Zhong Sheng maintained an indifferent relationship, but this led Father Zhong to deeply trust her and greatly favor her daughter.
While speaking, Lady Zhong gave Gu Shengyin a glance, only relieved when she saw no expression on her face.
"Zhong Sheng has so ntal issues, which were originally not a big deal, but recently he may have been stimulated and it’s suddenly worsened. The situation... is not very good."
Lady Zhong kept her gaze on Gu Shengyin as she spoke.
After all, she knew that the stimulation Zhong Sheng experienced was partly related to Gu Shengyin.
Father Zhong was infuriated upon hearing the news, vowing to confront the Chong family for justice, but was dissuaded by Lady Zhong.
Having learned the details, Lady Zhong saw the incident had nothing to do with them.
