The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 61

Feeling the bed sink slightly beside her, her nose catching the familiar brisk scent, as well as the man's masculinity, Rong Dai's heart inexplicably raced, her entire body taut and tense, every cell in her body became extremely sensitive.

She just lay there quietly, her eyes nervously fixed on the snow white ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking in her mind.

Huo Shao Ting lay beside her, his heartbeat also uncontrollably speeding up as he looked at the flush on her cheeks. He couldn't help the smile that flashed through his eyes as he gently rolled over to lie on his side, leaving space for her, afraid of touching her wounds.

Perhaps it was because he had not slept for days while dealing with these matters, and he was really tired too. And with someone he trusted lying beside him, he soon fell asleep.

When Rong Dai heard the steady breathing next to her ear, she couldn't help but turn her head to look over.

Her gaze fell inch by inch on his face, looking at him from such a close distance, she could see every pore on his face very clearly.

Her heart was still beating very fast, the inexplicable excitement and softness made her feel as if she was walking on clouds.

But she also very clearly maintained her rationality. In order not to disturb her mind, she simply closed her eyes, reciting scriptures in her heart. Probably because of the severity of her injuries this time, and her weary spirit, she soon fell asleep too.

...

"Brother, do we really have to do this? Can't we not beg her? I...don't want to beg her."

At the first light of dawn, a luxurious Rolls-Royce was parked at the hospital entrance.

Inside the car, Wen Shi Lan wept and pleaded with Wen Runlin, her entire spirit completely lacking compared to before.

In addition to Wen Runlin, Han Shiqing was also in the car.

Han Shiqing coldly watched the ceaselessly sobbing Wen Shi Lan, deliberately glancing at his watch: "Miss Wen, if you can't obtain Mrs. Huo's forgiveness, you won't win this lawsuit. Please cherish this chance Mrs. Wen has obtained to plead for you, don't waste each other's time."

He had previously promised not to grant Wen Shi Lan bail, but the Wen family's relationship with the Huo family ran deep, and the Wen family's old madam immediately went to plead with Mrs. Huo Lunzheng.

Wen Shi Lan's face was ugly, and she was very annoyed, but she didn't dare act out.

Wen Runlin's expression was also extremely gloomy. In just these few short days, the Wen family had suffered a heavy blow.

If the Wen family still wanted to retain their standing in Shengjing, Wen Shi Lan had to get on her knees this time, even if she had to kowtow!

He was all too aware of Huo Shao Ting's capabilities, he would definitely do what he said he would.

He had thought Huo Shao Ting held special feelings for Shi Lan, so he would at least show some favor. But he didn't expect him to be so resolute.

That day at the police station, he had said those things in order to protect Wen Shi Lan. As long as he wasn't present and didn't plead for mercy, perhaps Huo Shao Ting would still show compassion and spare the Wen family.

But he had overestimated Shi Lan's standing in Huo Shao Ting's heart, and also overestimated the relationship between the Wen and Huo families.

"If you'd known earlier, why did you do it in the first place? Don't you know Huo Shao Ting's character after all this time? It was trouble you stirred up, I've already done my best to remedy it. Today, even if you have to kneel, you still have to earnestly apologize, otherwise not only will the Wen family be finished, you'll be jailed too."

Wen Runlin's voice was icy cold. Although he resented Huo Shao Ting for not giving them face, he also knew this matter was the result of them spoiling Wen Shi Lan too much.

If they hadn't indulged her so much from the start, things wouldn't have become like this today.

Wen Shi Lan was instantly struck deadened, she would rather humiliate herself by kneeling to Rong Dai than be jailed.

If she went to jail, how could she still have any standing left in Shengjing's aristocratic circles in the future?

"I'll go." She assented with tears, her face ashen white.

Because it was early morning, there weren't many people at the hospital. And with Huo Shao Ting's security arrangements, along with all the lawyer letters sent out, which media outlet would still dare to stick their nose in this?

The three of them quickly arrived at the door of Rong Dai's ward. Standing at the door, Wen Shi Lan couldn't move her feet no matter what, the unwillingness, anger and despair in her heart swallowing her up.

"Miss Wen, do you want to wait until Mr. Huo arrives before apologizing?" Han Shiqing said heavily.

This time, he had truly been harmed miserably by Wen Shi Lan. With Huo Shao Ting's capabilities, he would definitely be able to bankrupt him if this matter wasn't handled well!

Forced by the situation, Wen Shi Lan couldn't help but bite her lip. She still raised her hand and pushed open the door to the ward, and the few of them walked in together.

But when the three saw the scene on the hospital bed, they were all stunned.

They saw Huo Shao Ting lying on his side on the bed, one hand resting on Rong Dai's waist. While Rong Dai was slightly curled against his jaw, sleeping soundly. The two of them were extremely intimate.

Huo Shao Ting's eyes snapped open almost instantly, a sharp light flashing through his eyes in a flash.

Rong Dai was also startled awake by his imposing manner. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the three extra people in the ward, and caught sight of the familiar Wen Shi Lan.

"Shao Ting, this..." She hesitated for a moment, feeling very confused. Who would come visit this early?

Han Shiqing's expression changed drastically on the spot. He had thought Huo Shao Ting was at the hotel, he didn't expect him to be here with Rong Dai!

Wen Runlin was also caught unawares, and Wen Shi Lan even more so.

Seeing the scene before her eyes, she almost couldn't believe everything that had happened these past few days was real!

Shao Ting really didn't like her, the things he said were all true!

"Shao Ting, do you really like her that much? Why? What's so good about her compared to me?!" 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮

Her emotions collapsed, and the emotions she had repressed these past few days exploded all at once. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she pointed at Rong Dai and loudly questioned them!

Wen Runlin and Han Shiqing's heads were both throbbing, this was completely different from what they had imagined!

"Enough! Shut your mouth!" Wen Runlin was in despair, he shouldn't have brought her here to apologize in the first place!

This apology was only inviting greater disaster!

"No! Since I'm going to be jailed, I won't let her live either! That slut of a mother probably doesn't even know which bastard spawned her! What right does she have to compete with me?!"

Wen Shi Lan loved but couldn't obtain it, and had suffered successive blows. Her emotions erupted all at once, that hideous, crazed appearance was almost a match for Zuo Ran!

Wen Runlin was in utter despair, wishing he could just beat her to death!

Rong Dai and Huo Shao Ting's expressions instantly darkened.

Although Rong Dai had never met An Feiya, she deeply understood the grace of parents. No matter how An Feiya behaved as an individual, the heart she had for cherishing her daughter was present.

Even if she wasn't the original, she could not tolerate this vilification.

"Miss Wen, watch your words! Everything you're saying and doing now makes me feel that you're the cheap spawn lacking maternal teachings! No matter how my mother was, she would never have taught me to rely on status to suppress others, and vilify them as bastards every time I open my mouth!"

"You think yourself so noble, but you're nothing but a trampled peony rotting in the mud. My family background may not match yours, but I know a person of upbringing, conscience, propriety, integrity and sense of shame would never curse others the moment they open their mouth. They would also not stubbornly cling to another person's husband, and be so shameless as to repeat such vulgar, disgraceful words again and again!"
