Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 102

At that exact moment, Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan turned around.

They missed each other perfectly.

All that remained for Si Huawu was a single back view.

Si Huawu scratched his head.

Strange.

He was sure he had just seen something.

Yet now… there was nothing unusual at all.

He Suosuo happened to be standing in that direction as well. Seeing Si Huawu looking her way, her heart raced with excitement. She grabbed Feng Xiaojing’s hand and whispered,
“Xiaojing, look! Look! Isn’t Second Young Master Si looking at me?”

Feng Xiaojing quickly looked up.

Sure enough, Si Huawu’s gaze had passed over that way.

Feng Xiaojing nodded, just as excited as He Suosuo.
“Yes! Yes! Suosuo, Second Young Master Si is definitely looking at you! Oh my god, Suosuo, do you know him?”

“No,” He Suosuo shook her head, her cheeks flushed.
“But my cousin is Second Madam’s personal assistant, and I’m so pretty—so much prettier than those girls from Hong Kong. It’s only natural for Second Young Master Si to look at me!”

Second Young Master Si was an influential man.

Though older, he remained incredibly charismatic.

If she could catch his attention, it would bring great honor to her family.

Sun Jiaqi had her charms, of course, but she was older now.

Age had dulled her beauty.

How could she possibly compare to He Suosuo?

At only eighteen, young and radiant, with a face so beautiful—even Jiang Ning had married into a wealthy family. Surely she could attract Second Young Master Si too!

Once he noticed her, Sun Jiaqi would be pushed aside. She would become Second Madam of the Si family.

The personal assistant would be her.

The lady of Star Emperor Entertainment would be her.

Even Zhang He would have to watch her every move.

At the very least… being his lover would be extraordinary.

After all, money was no concern for Si Huawu.

He Suosuo had heard gossip from Zhang He that Si Huawu treated his wife, Sun Jiaqi, very well. A single birthday gift could be worth tens of millions.

Once she became his new favorite, he would certainly spend lavishly on her too.

The more He Suosuo thought about it, the more excited and proud she became. She could already picture herself as Si Huawu’s lover.

She was certain he was interested in her.

Otherwise, why would he keep looking at her?

Those eyes—

Dangerous and captivating!

Even in his fifties, even in the autumn of life, he was irresistibly magnetic, making hearts race and breaths uneven.

She had also heard from Zhang He that Si Huawu’s private life was clean. Unlike other big shots in the entertainment world, he never indulged in affairs.

If she caught his eye, she would be his one and only lover.

The last one.

Seeing her husband pause mid-step, Sun Jiaqi asked curiously,
“Huawu, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing,” Si Huawu said, scratching his head.
“Just… it felt strange for a moment.”

“Strange? How?”

“It felt like someone was looking at me,” he replied.

Sun Jiaqi laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.
“Someone’s always looking at you. What’s strange about that?”

Her husband was a tycoon in the entertainment industry.

Whenever he went out, there were always people staring or secretly taking photos.

Si Huawu nodded,
“You’re right, but the gaze just now—it felt different from the rest.”

“In what way?” Sun Jiaqi asked.

Can a gaze really be different?

Si Huawu frowned.
“If you ask me to explain, I couldn’t put it into words, but… it’s different.”

A feeling impossible to describe with language.

He lowered his gaze,
“Perhaps it was just my imagination. Let’s go.”

Sun Jiaqi nodded and followed.

After a few steps, Si Huawu suddenly asked,
“The New Year’s coming. What should we get Shengbao as a gift this year?”

Although their niece hadn’t been found yet, Si Huawu and his brothers prepared a carefully chosen gift every year, kept in the bank’s safe.

Sun Jiaqi said,
“I’ve been thinking about that too. Last year, we saved a crown for Shengbao’s eighteenth birthday. How about getting a pair of dragon-and-phoenix bracelets this year?”

“Alright.” Si Huawu nodded, then sighed.
“We’ve waited so many years… who knows when we’ll find her?”

Sun Jiaqi scolded,
“Don’t sigh! Don’t sigh! You’ll blow away Shengbao’s luck!”

Like the other Si family sisters-in-law, she loved Shengbao like a real daughter.

She wanted to find her as soon as possible.

“All right, all right, no sighing. Look, I’m smiling now!” Si Huawu said, forcing a grin.

Beep—beep—beep!

A phone rang.

Sun Jiaqi answered.
“Hello?”

Her face immediately changed.
“What? What? Okay, okay—we’re at the airport, we’ll be there right away!”

After hanging up, Si Huawu asked anxiously,
“What happened?”

Sun Jiaqi’s expression was grim.
“Mom… Mom’s in trouble.”

“What?!”

She hurriedly explained,
“Uncle Sun called. Mom fell while on her way to pray for blessings for Shengbao and Huashang. She’s in the hospital, undergoing emergency treatment.”

Every year near the end of the year, Madam Si would personally visit the temple to pray for her daughter and granddaughter.

Hearing this, Si Huawu’s heart raced.
He immediately turned to his assistant in front.
“Xiao Ma, go to the hospital! Now!”

No need to specify which hospital—the best one in Hong Kong was the Si family hospital.

Naturally, Madam Si would be sent there.

“Yes, Second Young Master! I’ll arrange it immediately!”

Meanwhile…

Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan had already taken a taxi to their hotel.

All first-class tickets had been booked by Yue Qianlan, so Jiang Ning booked the hotel herself—a luxurious room with a king-sized bed.

The view was spectacular. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the finest harbor views in Hong Kong.

Technically, it wasn’t a sea view—it was a port.

Yet the scenery was unmatched. Many iconic scenes from classic Hong Kong films had been shot here.

Yue Qianlan was video-calling her parents.

Jiang Ning was calling her grandfather.
“Grandpa, look! This is Hong Kong’s harbor. The view is amazing. Next time I’ll bring you here, we’ll stay at this hotel too.”

Her grandfather smiled.
“I’m old now. Traveling back and forth is tiring. You enjoy yourself, Ningning, don’t worry about me. Today I’m resting and playing cards with Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Wang, and Grandpa Fang!”

He turned the camera to show his three old friends.

Compared to traveling, he preferred spending leisure time at home.

He had always loved card games. Before, life was tight, so he saved money for Jiang Ning. Now things were different.

His granddaughter had become successful.

A little gambling for fun.

“Hello, Ningning!” The three elders waved.

“Hello, Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Fang,” Jiang Ning replied.

Just as her grandfather was about to speak, a voice called,
“Old Jiang, someone’s here for you.”

“Coming, coming,” he said, turning the camera.
“Ningning, have fun. Grandpa’s going to handle this.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Jiang Ning ended the call.

Yue Qianlan also ended her call.
“Ningning, the view is gorgeous. Let’s go downstairs, take some photos, and see if we can find something delicious nearby.”

“Sure,” Jiang Ning nodded.

Meanwhile, at the hospital…

Madam Si’s accident had already occurred. By the time Si Huawu and Sun Jiaqi arrived, the eldest Si sibling, Si Huawen, with Zhao Yunong, and the third sibling, Si Huali, with Xue Yingxiang, had already reached.

Si Huawu immediately asked,
“Big brother, big sister-in-law, Huali, third brother’s wife, how’s Mom?”

Sun Jiaqi anxiously waited for the answer.

Si Huawen shook his head.
“When we arrived, Mom had already been sent to the ER. Dr. Shangguan said her age and the location of the fall caused some brain hemorrhage. It doesn’t look very optimistic.”

Zhao Yunong added,
“But don’t worry too much. Mom is a blessed woman. She should be fine.”

Sun Jiaqi clasped her hands,
“Buddha bless, Buddha bless! Please keep my mom safe! She hasn’t even seen Huashang and Shengbao return yet!”

Si Huawu asked,
“Have the others been notified?”

Si Huali said,
“Yes, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth siblings have been informed. They’re on their way to the hospital.”

Luckily, it was near year-end. Fifth and Sixth siblings had flown back last night to celebrate the New Year.

Now only Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth were rushing back.

Creak!

The ER doors opened.

Dr. Shangguan stepped out.

The three brothers and their wives rushed up, asking urgently,
“Dr. Shangguan, how’s our mother?”

Dr. Shangguan removed his mask, regret on his face.
“First, Second, and Third Young Masters… the surgery went smoothly, but Madam Si’s condition is extremely complicated. The hematoma cannot be removed at this time. She requires a ventilator to breathe. Unless… a miracle happens… I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to make it through this year…”
