“Xinyou Qiao!! How can you talk to your parents like this? They gave you your life! Maybe they don’t make lots of money, but still, it was them who brought you up! Don’t you have gratitude at all?”
Venus didn’t want to start a quarrel with Xinyou. But she felt sorry for Xinyou’s parents and she couldn’t tolerate Xinyou’s greed for money.
“Venus!! Who are you to tell me what to do? You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and how can you understand my sorrow! I don’t want your sympathy, and I don’t want you to mind my business!”
Xinyou then looked at her parents, and took out some money from her handbag and thrust it into their hands.
She then said coldly: “This money is enough to support your life in the countryside. Don’t come to me again. I have done enough for you!!”
She then left without looking back again.
Her father looked after her sadly as she walked away. He then felt blood was racing through his veins. All of a sudden, he grabbed his chest and fell on the ground heavily. His body shivered nonstop.
Xinyou’s mom was greatly frightened. She knelt beside him, and cried: “What happened!! Help!! Someone help us!!”
Venus arched her brows. She checked his body and found he was still breathing. She called an ambulance in an instant, and soon, the ambulance arrived, and Xinyou’s father was taken onto the ambulance. Venus also followed them because she was worried.
They arrived at the hospital. Xinyou’s father was directly pushed into a surgery room because what he had was a heart attack.
Xinyou’s mother had never been to a big hospital like this one before. She was so confused and frightened and the only thing she was capable of was crying. It was Venus who filled the formats and paid the money.
Luckily, Xinyou’s father was out of danger after the surgery. He was transferred to a regular ward. But the doctor told Venus that the patient should be given constant care within twenty four hours. So Venus was still too worried to leave.
Xinyou’s mother was relieved when she learned her husband was fine. She said to Venus with gratitude: “Venus, thank you so very much. I can’t imagine what would happen without......”
Before she finished, Venus said: “Please don’t worry. Xinyou’s dad is a good person, and he will be fine!”
Kevin wiped his mouth slowly and said calmly: “Oh, I almost forgot. Venus called me and said she is not coming back tonight. She asked us not to worry about her.”
Kerry was not happy.
“She is not coming back the whole night? Also, why did she call Kevin instead of me? What was she thinking?” Kerry thought to himself. “What a bloody woman!!”
Kevin looked at his big brother with a calm face. He now could see things with more clarity, which was quite surprising.
They finished the dinner in silence. Kerry went to his study after dinner, saying that he had something to deal with.
Kevin then noticed Henry drove away, which surprised him a little, and he of course knew Henry’s purpose to leave at that time.
The next day, Kerry asked Xinyou to go to the company herself, because he was busy with something. Xinyou was not happy, but she pretended to understand him, and she took a car and went to the company.
