Xia Yuqing had just woken up from her coma, though her head was still a bit fuzzy.
She gently shook Song Qiao's arm, signaling him to put her down.
"Honey, how are you feeling? If anything's wrong, we can go to the hospital."
Song Qiao carefully lowered Xia Yuqing, asking with concern.
"I'm fine, no need for the hospital."
Xia Yuqing shook her hazy head, about to refuse in a low voice.
"Save your fake concern."
Xia Xueqing, who was furious at Song Qiao's impulsiveness, shoved him aside.
"Get lost, I'll take care of my sister."
As she spoke, she helped Xia Yuqing to her side.
Then, she said coldly to Song Qiao, "You never think before you act. Can't you learn from Zhang Chuan? And you even own a company."
"Acting impulsively is one thing, but I also heard you were messing around with other women a while back."
Song Qiao's face changed upon hearing this, and he began to explain, "I didn't, you all misunderstood."
"What's the point of saying that now? Get out of the way, I need to take my sister to the hospital for a check-up."
Xia Yuqing pushed Song Qiao aside and walked directly downstairs.
Hearing her mother complain about Song Qiao's matter recently had been building up inside her, and it finally erupted today.
Zhang Chuan, seeing this, quickly ran a few steps to catch up, saying obsequiously, "Xueqing, hurry, let your sister get in my car. We need to get her to the hospital quickly."
After speaking, he proudly dangled his car keys and gave Song Qiao a mocking glance.
Song Qiao shook his head helplessly, feeling a surge of frustration.
But with Xia Xueqing currently in a rage, arguing with her would likely only make things worse.
Since his wife was being personally looked after by Xia Xueqing, he figured nothing major would happen.
...
A few hours later, in a ward at the city's First People's Hospital.
Feng Yuan, who was bandaged like a mummy, slowly woke up from his coma. His two subordinates were taking care of him.
"Manager Feng, you're finally awake."
"The doctor said you might be in a coma for a day, I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly."
Seeing Feng Yuan awake, one subordinate said excitedly.
"Did you catch that bastard? I'll tear him to pieces."
Feng Yuan gasped, forcing himself to ignore the intense pain, and asked.
"Manager Feng, the other party ran off after beating you. We didn't dare report it to the police..."
Another employee standing by the bedside said cautiously.
They all knew that Manager Feng had suffered this beating because of some shameful and sordid act, so they naturally didn't dare to report it to the police, lest they be accused of hypocrisy.
"Damn it, I will absolutely not let this kid off easily. Go and investigate Xia Yuqing. I'll use the media to ruin their reputation."
Feng Yuan lay on the bed, grinding his teeth.
If Song Qiao were in front of him now, he would probably tear him apart.
"Manager, don't get agitated. I'll go investigate right away and guarantee you a satisfactory answer."
The employee by the bedside saw his state and quickly agreed, then turned and ran out of the ward.
Feng Yuan held significant power within Xingwei, and if he truly wanted to use the company's media resources against someone, it would be incredibly easy.
...
"Sister, Song Qiao was too impulsive this time. He completely disregards our family's feelings. You don't know how worried we are about him because of his temper."
After Xia Xueqing had her sister examined, there were no major issues. She only needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a day before being discharged.
"Song Qiao hit someone again?"
Xia Yuqing only then remembered faintly hearing Song Qiao kicking the door before she lost consciousness. This instantly made her heart pound.
"Yes, he beat that Manager Feng half to death. The other party was lying on the ground, unconscious. If Zhang Chuan and I hadn't arrived in time to stop him, who knows what else he would have done."
Xia Xueqing, still harboring resentment towards Song Qiao over the matter with Yuan Jianan, deliberately exaggerated Song Qiao's actions.
Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment. Her face showed concern, followed by uncontrollable anger.
This Song Qiao was simply out of control. Every time something happened, he couldn't control his emotions and always resorted to his fists to solve problems.
"Sister, I think Song Qiao's concern for you is decreasing. What kind of business requires you to go there? It's irresponsible."
"This time, thankfully, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, I would never forgive him."
Seeing Xia Yuqing remain silent, Xia Xueqing felt her sister was being too soft-hearted and continued to scold Song Qiao.
Xia Yuqing simply nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
Since Song Qiao's business had grown larger, he had indeed paid less attention to family and domestic matters.
Just as Xia Xueqing was about to say more, her phone suddenly rang.
"Sister, it's a classmate calling. I'm going out to take the call."
Saying this, she hurried out of the ward.
"Xueqing, have you seen the news? What's going on? Did something happen to your brother-in-law and your sister?"
Xia Xueqing's classmate was always good at gossip, and her news sources were naturally very efficient. She saw the news from Xingwei the moment it was released.
"The news says your brother-in-law committed assault on the street, simply because the contract negotiations failed. It also says that you and your sister are both being kept by him... the purpose is to make you two famous and then swindle money."
"What?"
Xia Yuqing cried out in disbelief.
"Oh, just go and see for yourself." After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Xia Yuqing secretly looked at the news that had just been released behind her sister's back, and her face instantly changed. The news deliberately did not pixelate the photos and directly published their names. If this report continued, their family's reputation would be ruined sooner or later, and they would have no standing in this city. She had to find Song Qiao immediately and tell him about this, so he could find a solution. Otherwise, once the news spread, Xiang Piaopiao's business would collapse. With this thought, she bid farewell to her sister and rushed to Song Qiao's company. However, finding that Song Qiao wasn't there, she became anxious and quickly found several helpers to search for him.
