Chapter 267 Shi Yu Dies
Chapter 267 Shi Yu Dies
Bai Yi handed them the signed document and said, "I've read the proposal from the Publicity Department. It's not good. The new energy vehicle launched by the company is different from the general male experience in the market. It focuses more on the needs of women. So their PPT proposal is just a mechanical copy from beginning to end."
As she spoke, she opened the laptop on the table, turned around, and showed the new plan she had prepared to the two secretaries: "Since the second half of last year, the Propaganda Department has produced several product promotion plans that have failed. When you go back, tell Director Wang that if his subordinates, including him, continue to be perfunctory like this, they should all pack up and leave."
An Jingshan and Sun Shuran were too magnanimous to say anything, they just nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Yi raised his hand and pinched his brows: "Send this plan to the Propaganda Department first, and give them some lubrication for their rusty brains. Otherwise, they will just sit in the well and watch the world, earning a salary as a white-collar worker."
"it is good."
"I will be back at the company tomorrow, and I will be in charge of executing this marketing plan. You two must cooperate with me at all times. It will be a tough battle ahead, so you must be prepared."
"We will, Mr. Bai."
After Bai Yi gave some other instructions that required attention, An Jingshan and Sun Shuran went back.
She rubbed her aching temples, closed her eyes and rested for a moment, then got up and returned to the ward.
The person on the bed was still sleeping, showing no signs of waking up. She reached out to touch the other person's cheek, but withdrew her hand just before touching it.
She recalled the night half a month ago when Ning Yuechen was pushed into the operating room covered in blood. The two critical illness notices almost cost her her life.
From that day on, I would wake up from such nightmares almost every night and would be unable to sleep all night. I could only stay by the bedside to get a short nap.
Bai Yi gently lifted the quilt and looked at the wrist wrapped in white gauze. He wondered how desperate Ning Yuechen must have been to make such a decisive choice to end his life.
There is no will to live.
This is what the attending physician said to himself after the operation.
That's probably why the other party is reluctant to wake up.
Bai Yi covered the bed with the quilt again and made a promise to himself: "Ning Yuechen, as long as you wake up, I will never force you again."
She looked at the sleeping person with red eyes: "You accused me of not knowing what love is before, but I didn't think so at the time, because I felt that when I fell in love with you uncontrollably, this fall beyond my will was the feeling of love. And you who brought me this novel experience, you should be responsible for my affection, and you must never leave me forever."
"But when I saw that you would rather die than be controlled by me, my first thought was that as long as you were alive, I would do anything. This is completely opposite to the state of mind when I first realized that I was attracted to you and wanted you to disappear from this world."
"I think this is the difference between liking and loving. I like you, so you must belong to me; I love you, so I have to learn to set you free."
Bai Yi turned his gaze to the sky outside the window, with a soft sense of relief flowing in his clear eyes: "Ning Yuechen, I mean what I said. As long as you wake up, I will let you go. All the grudges between us will be written off."
"Because I can no longer afford the risk of you gambling with your life."
Bai Yi just sat in front of the hospital bed, staring at the person on the bed motionlessly, until the sun set and the room fell into darkness, then she got up and walked out.
As soon as she closed the door of the ward, the doorbell rang. She frowned slightly, quickened her pace, walked through the living room, and came to a corridor outside. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the panicked housekeeper.
Normally, Dai Jun, as the chief steward of the Bai family, would not come to him casually, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Dai Jun calmed his breathing, lowered his head and said, "Miss, the master just called me and said... that his wife passed away. He called you but you didn't answer. You need to go to Country M as soon as possible to deal with his wife's funeral."
Bai Yi's mind went blank for a moment. After a few seconds, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you talking about?"
Dai Jun looked at her and replied respectfully: "The master's wife, Shi Yu, is your biological mother."
The next moment, she heard the eldest lady angrily scolding in a low voice: "How is it possible? What nonsense are you talking about?! Although Shi Yu has always been in poor health, she takes expensive medicine every day to nourish herself. How could she be gone?!"
"It's true. I didn't believe my ears at first, so I confirmed it with the master again and again."
Dai Jun looked at her carefully again and lowered his voice: "It seems to be suicide. When she was found, the best time for rescue had already passed."
"suicide?"
Bai Yi muttered to herself, and after a few seconds, she suddenly turned around and ran into the room, all the way to the door of the innermost ward, but suddenly stopped. When she felt a sharp pain in her chest, she forcefully opened the tightly closed door.
In just a moment, a chill ran down her body.
Ning Yuechen was looking down at the gauze on his right wrist at the moment. When he heard the voice, he looked over and saw a pair of clear and beautiful eyes with a cold and elegant light.
"Bai Yi, you shouldn't have saved me, because I won't let you control me anymore."
After she said this, the person outside the door did not react at all. She just stared at her with a very strange look, which was not as cold as before. Although she tried her best to control her emotions, Ning Yuechen still caught the fear in her eyes.
This kind of look can appear on anyone, but not on someone like Bai Yi who is naturally arrogant.
Just as she was feeling strange, she heard the other person tremblingly ask, "When did you wake up?"
Ning Yuechen was even more aware that something was wrong with her, but he was too lazy to speculate and only replied calmly, "She just woke up a while ago."
Bai Yi carefully observed her expression and felt a little relieved. She was really shocked by the news just now, so she was worried about what this person heard.
The distance from the ward to the outermost room was only 100 meters, not to mention that there were two layers of soundproof doors in the middle. Therefore, there was no possibility that the news just now could be heard by a patient who had just woken up and had difficulty getting out of bed and walking.
After the crisis was resolved, Bai Yi began to worry again.
If Ning Yuechen knew the news of Shi Yu's death, Bai Yi really didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.
So the most urgent thing now is to keep it a secret from her, at least until she gets better and is discharged from the hospital.
When Bai Yi was thinking about how to deal with this mess, he heard the person on the bed suddenly say, "Give me my phone."
"What?"
Ning Yuechen looked at the person who suddenly became alert and felt more and more that something was wrong with her, but after only a moment, she realized why this person's attitude was so nervous.
So he sneered and said, "Bai Yi, I said, I would rather die than let you control my life again. You can save me once, but you can't always be so lucky."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the man's face turned pale instantly, as if he had seen a ghost, and she became even more confused.
Why did this person suddenly become so frightened as if he had gone insane? Was he really frightened by his own suicide?
