"Stop with the nonsense and go get him!"
Gao Guoqiang immediately berated his son, Gao Lei, after the young man finished speaking.
"Uh... Dad..."
At this moment, Gao Lei's face stiffened upon hearing his father's words, and he began to hesitate.
It seemed as though he wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat, unsure how to proceed.
"Spit it out if you have something to say!"
Seeing Gao Lei's stammering, Gao Guoqiang coldly berated him again.
"Dad, why don't you... why don't you let Sister Hong go get him... Sister Hong knows him well..."
Gao Lei glanced at his father and cautiously spoke.
"No! You animal drove the person away, so you're going!"
Gao Guoqiang retorted, making his stance clear.
Gao Lei's already unpleasant expression worsened after his father's words.
He had wanted to say more, but seeing his father's murderous glare and considering his sister's critical condition, he could only steel himself and head outside.
"Wait a moment!"
Just then, before Gao Lei could leave, Luo Kexin spoke up.
Swish! Swish!
As Luo Kexin spoke, everyone's gazes immediately fell upon her.
"Kexin, do you have something to say?"
Gao Lei's father, Gao Guoqiang, looked at Luo Kexin and asked.
"Uncle Gao, there's something... I don't know if I should say it..."
Luo Kexin's expression shifted multiple times. She instinctively glanced at Gao Lei.
Then, her gaze fell upon Gao Guoqiang, and after taking a deep breath, she spoke.
Swish! Swish!
Although Gao Lei didn't know what Luo Kexin intended to say, he could vaguely guess.
In an instant, Gao Lei's face changed. He wanted to say something.
But seeing his father's gloomy expression, the words he was about to utter were swallowed back.
"Just say it quickly if there's something."
Gao Guoqiang's gaze remained fixed on Luo Kexin as he urged her on.
Although he wasn't entirely sure what Luo Kexin wanted to say, her sudden interjection at this critical juncture surely meant it was related to his daughter.
After all, Gao Guoqiang understood Luo Kexin's character quite well.
"Mhm!"
Luo Kexin nodded in agreement.
Then, taking a deep breath and organizing her thoughts, she cut to the chase and said, "Actually... before we came to the hospital, we encountered Mr. Ye..."
Luo Kexin had initially intended to use Ye Fei's name directly, but thinking it inappropriate, she changed her wording.
"What?"
Gao Guoqiang and the others were stunned by Luo Kexin's words.
Then, Gao Guoqiang collected himself, his expression filled with excitement and joy. He immediately asked, "You just said you saw Mr. Ye? Where is he? Hurry and invite him over."
Gao Guoqiang's eyes were fixed on Luo Kexin as he spoke.
To his surprise, hearing Gao Guoqiang's words, Luo Kexin's face broke into a wry smile.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid he can't be invited..."
Luo Kexin then said.
At this point, Gao Lei, standing nearby, looked extremely distressed.
"Why?"
Gao Guoqiang, seemingly sensing something, immediately asked.
"Uncle Gao, earlier, the second young lady of the Qin family and Mr. Ye visited our jade mine headquarters..."
Luo Kexin wasted no more words and recounted the events that had transpired to Gao Guoqiang.
Gao Guoqiang listened silently as Luo Kexin spoke.
A moment later, Gao Guoqiang finally understood what had happened.
At first, he listened without much issue.
However, when he heard that Gao Lei had been involved, a sense of impending doom washed over him.
As expected, Gao Lei had deliberately caused trouble and driven Ye Fei and Qin Bing, the Qin family's second young lady, away.
"You damned beast!"
At this moment, Gao Guoqiang could no longer suppress his rage. He spun around and slapped Gao Lei heavily across the face.
"You're going to kill your sister!"
Gao Guoqiang was truly enraged, his eyes turning red.
He never imagined that his good-for-nothing son would be so incompetent and ruinous!
Ye Fei had been treating his daughter, Gao Yuanyuan, and this beast had driven him away.
If it weren't for Sister Hong chasing after Ye Fei and pleading with him, it was uncertain if Gao Yuanyuan would even be alive!
But even that wasn't enough; when Ye Fei and Qin Bing went to the company to discuss business, this beast deliberately caused trouble again!
The thought of it almost made Gao Guoqiang collapse.
"Dad... I was wrong... I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong..."
Gao Lei dared not speak further, simply admitting his fault.
It wasn't that Gao Lei didn't want to argue, but he was afraid!
His father was already furious, and if he dared to contradict him further, he might very well be beaten to death!
Gao Lei, this fearless second-generation rich kid, feared his father, Gao Guoqiang, the most.
Therefore, seeing his father erupt, Gao Lei could only quickly concede like a grandson.
"You beast, go and invite Mr. Ye back! Today... if you can't bring him back, I won't have you as my son!"
Gao Guoqiang stared at his son, Gao Lei, with bloodshot eyes and angrily declared his stance.
Swish! Swish!
Gao Lei's expression changed instantly to one of extreme dismay upon hearing his father's words.
"Dad... I..."
Gao Lei tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat again.
"Aren't you going to hurry and invite Mr. Ye?"
Gao Guoqiang berated him again.
Hearing this, Gao Lei had no choice but to brace himself and head outside.
"Guoqiang, you should go yourself... Our daughter's condition is very critical. If this little brat fails to bring him back, then..."
At this moment, Gao Lei's mother looked at her son, then turned her gaze to Gao Guoqiang.
For Gao Lei's mother, both hands were precious.
Seeing her daughter lying on the bed, unconscious and barely breathing, her heart ached.
She felt as if it were a dream – she had spent a large sum of money to obtain a protective amulet for her daughter!
But who would have thought that this very amulet would ultimately lead to her daughter's demise!
If it weren't for Gao Lei's mother witnessing it firsthand, how could she possibly believe it?
However, with the facts laid out before her, Gao Lei's mother had no choice but to believe!
"Mmm... Sigh! Forget it, forget it, I'll go myself then!"
Gao Guoqiang's expression faltered. He wasn't foolish and understood his wife's meaning.
Thus, Gao Guoqiang could only sigh and nod in agreement.
"Huff huff huff!"
Gao Lei, standing nearby, let out a huge sigh of relief upon hearing that his father was going to personally invite Ye Fei.
Damn it, to be honest, if he were to go, given Ye Fei's prejudice against him, there was a ninety-nine percent chance he wouldn't be able to invite him.
"You little beast, why are you still standing there? Hurry and come with me!"
Just as Gao Lei thought he had escaped, Gao Guoqiang's voice reached him.
Swish! Swish!
In an instant, Gao Lei's expression stiffened again, and he reluctantly followed his father.
"Xiao Hong, and Kexin, you two come with me too."
Gao Guoqiang's gaze fell upon Sister Hong and Luo Kexin.
Both women had prior interactions with Ye Fei, so Gao Guoqiang decided to call them along after some consideration.
The two women didn't waste time and nodded in agreement.
