Huo Jibai took out two hundred umbrellas, opened one and handed it to Shuxin.
Shuxin took it and turned to look at the young man who was holding another umbrella. He had handsome features and a calm expression. The childishness on his face seemed to have disappeared. "I feel like you've grown up."
Huo Jibai turned to look at Shuxin without saying a word.
Shuxin looked away and looked at the silver rain in the sky. She sighed softly. "Maybe people have to go through some hardships to grow up."
She had died once, so she had grown up.
Huo Jibai had grown up because of Huo Yanqing's collapse.
"Let's go." Huo Jibai took the lead and walked into the rain with the umbrella.
Shuxin followed him down the steps. Her boots stepped on the steps, splashing the water. When her feet left the steps, the water returned to its original place and everything was calm again.
However, Shuxin knew that today was not going to be a peaceful day.
Huo Jibai was still driving. Shuxin sat in the passenger's seat and quietly looked out the window at the scenery blurred by the rain. She was thinking about how to face the shareholders this morning.
The four-day deadline was up and Yanqing was still unconscious.
Tang Weizhong had become more and more unscrupulous in the past few days. Not only had he poached the Huo Group's major clients, he had also openly gathered the shareholders of the Huo Group. Now, some shareholders of the Huo Group were already on Tang Weizhong's side. They were just waiting to attack Shuxin together today.
The Huo Group's stock had been falling continuously. Many major clients had been poached. Now, everyone in the Huo Group was in a state of panic. Huo Yanqing could not show up as scheduled. Shuxin could not imagine how bad today's situation would be.
Shuxin frowned. She was so deep in thought that when the car stopped, she realized that Huo Jibai had driven to the entrance of the First Affiliated Hospital. "What are you doing here?"
Huo Jibai unfastened his seatbelt. "Look at my fifth uncle."
"You're crazy. There are reporters here. I didn't even put on makeup. I'm here with you. Do you want everyone to know that Yanqing is in a coma?"
Huo Jibai didn't reply to Shuxin. He took out his phone and dialed a number. "We're at the gate of the hospital … OK, I'll come in now …"
"Who did you call?" Shuxin looked suspicious.
"Ji Lingfeng. He has lured the reporters away from the inpatient department. Let's go there now. It's safe." Huo Jibai handed the umbrella to Shuxin as he spoke.
Shuxin was stunned for a moment. She took the umbrella and opened the door to get out of the car. "You arranged everything in advance?"
"Yes."
Ji Lingfeng was an award-winning actor. His high-profile appearance at the hospital attracted the attention of all the reporters.
When Shuxin and Huo Jibai entered the inpatient department, there was not a single reporter there.
Shuxin's gloomy mood was lifted a little because of this small incident. "I didn't expect you to be so smart. You knew how to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Huo Jibai replied, "Didn't you know how to put on a disguise too?"
The two of them arrived at the door of the ward. Huo Jibai said to Shuxin, "I want to be alone with Fifth Uncle for a moment."
"Okay. I'll go ask Dr. Ji about Yanqing's condition." Shuxin glanced at the man in the hospital bed through the small window at the door. She turned and walked towards the director's office.
