Chapter 74: Eyes Filled with Expectation

her hands behind her back, and forced a smile: "The door wasn't closed, so I came in."Huo Chenxi glanced at the door, his thin lips pressed tightly together, without a sound.While he was turning arou...Su He stared blankly at Shen Yueze.

He was good-looking, but compared to his four brothers, he lacked a certain refinement. Even his height was the least impressive among his brothers, estimated to be less than six feet tall.

But his eyes were resolute, his bearing natural and dignified, making one instinctively think of a snow pine standing proudly in the cold wind.

He let her be herself.

It's not Su He who tries to please Chen Xi Huan or his family, but Su He who is being truly himself.

Su He had never doubted her identity as the daughter of the Shen family, just as her family had never doubted it.

They didn't need such a paternity test report, so when Shen Yueze threw out this report, they all accused Shen Yueze of being sick.

This report was more like a reassurance for Su He.

Just as Shen Yueze said, blood ties cannot be changed.

No matter what she's like, she is Shen Zhaolin and Gu Qingcheng's daughter, their younger sister.

Su He finally understood Shen Yueze's good intentions.

What does she want

When she was little, she wanted her adoptive father to stop hitting her and her adoptive mother, and she wanted to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes.

Bigger still, she wanted to find her family and study hard to become a useful person.

Later on, she wanted to gain Huo Chenxi's love, to be his wife, to take care of him, accompany him, and give birth to children for him.

After getting home, she wanted to be loved by them and not abandoned.

Su He's gaze shifted from confusion, gradually gathering light, becoming more determined.

"I... I want to be Shen Jia's true daughter, not just being protected all the time. When something happens, I can also stand up and protect you."

"I want to become excellent, be a better version of myself, and make you proud of me!"

She spoke each word carefully, her voice growing from soft to loud, finally booming with power.

Seeing Su He and Gu Qingcheng's similar star-bright eyes becoming dazzlingly bright, Shen Yueze's mouth slowly curved upwards: "Of course, because you were originally the daughter of the Shen family!"

Perhaps due to his profession, Shen Yueze had always been accustomed to being serious and rarely smiled in his daily life.

This was Su He's first time seeing his smile.

Like a star piercing the endless darkness of the Arctic night, it burst forth, illuminating the entire polar night.

Gu Qingcheng came over to look at Su He, only feeling that Su He was like a different person.

Though her face was the same, those eyes that shone like a thousand stars had given her an immeasurable radiance.

"Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you these past few days." Su He looked at Gu Qingcheng's noticeably thinner face and said with concern, "Don't worry, from now on, I will definitely protect myself well and work hard to become strong enough to protect all of you!"

Looking at Su He like this, Gu Qingcheng finally understood the true meaning of Shen Yueze's words earlier.

Su He is the daughter of Shu and Shen Zhao Lin. As a direct granddaughter of the Shen family, one of the three major chaebols, and an adopted granddaughter of the Gu family, how could she possibly be a delicate flower that needs to be sheltered in a greenhouse

Su He made a plan for himself.

Though the group's CEO's appointment letter had been issued, she was still going. However, handling such complex corporate affairs, her current abilities were far from enough.

On this side, Shen Zhaolin, Big Brother Shen Ruifeng, and Second Brother Shen Xingfan are experts. They are all willing to teach her step-by-step.

Shen Zhao-lin also specially hired two assistants for her.

On matters of social connections and networking, Gu Qingcheng is willing to personally guide her, helping her quickly integrate into high society circles.

When it comes to enjoying life, Shen Muyin excels, and she's always happy to treat her friends to good food, drinks, and fun outings.

As for Shen Yueze...

He had previously fought against all opposition to allow her to participate in Ho Chen Hsi's surgery. This was both a test of her abilities and because he wanted to promote the combination of Western and Eastern medicine more widely in the world.

If he was willing, she would follow him to study hard and improve her medical skills, truly helping more people in need.

Before being discharged, Su He went to see Huo Chen Xi.

Through the transparent glass window of the ward, she faintly saw a man in a doctor's white coat sneaking around fiddling with an IV drip. The attendant beside him was engrossed on his phone, chatting away and completely oblivious to the man's actions.

Su He burst into the room, shouting, "What are you doing"

The man turned his head. A sky-blue mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of small single eyelids. His eyes glinted with unconcealable ferocity.

Seeing Su He catch him in the act, a ferocious glint flashed in the rat's eyes. He slammed into the nurse who hadn't reacted yet and dashed towards Su He with lightning speed.

As he charged forward, one hand reached into the inside of his jacket, as if to retrieve something.

Su He realized the danger, turned around and dashed to the corridor, shouting: "Murder! Someone is murdering and arson in the hospital!"

Seeing the fire extinguisher nearby, she pressed the fire alarm button directly and smashed the fire hydrant to take out the extinguisher. When the man came running over, she sprayed him directly with it.

The alarm sounded loudly.

Her plea for help worked.

The doctor, nurses, patient's family members, and hospital security guards all rushed over upon hearing the news.

At that time, the man realized something was wrong and quickly escaped through the fire escape.

Su He didn't chase after him. She rushed into Huo Chen Xi's ward first and pulled the needle out of his hand.

Even the drowsy Huo Chenxi was awakened by the commotion outside. The moment he saw Su He, the gloom in his eyes instantly brightened, and his gaze fixated on Su He with an almost greedy intensity.

His lips moved with difficulty, Su He strained to hear, barely making out his hoarse voice saying: "You're alright. That's good!"

Su He looked at his gaunt face, delicate features becoming more three-dimensional and profound, only his thin lips were chapped and peeling, apparently not well cared for.

She knew that recently, the second son Huo Chenyi had been stirring up a shareholders' meeting to try and force Huo Chenxi out of Di Jin Group while he was sick.

He Suwen was busy contacting Huo Chenxi's supporters, trying to defeat Huo Chenyi's ambitions, and neglected taking care of Huo Chenxi.

Otherwise, the guards on Huo Chenxi's side wouldn't be so lax, allowing just anyone to enter the ward, and Su He could freely come and go.

"I'm doing well." Su He looked at the man who had been her longing for three years with soft eyes, her voice as gentle as water, "You should get well soon too."

It had been a long time since he'd seen her look at him like this. Huo Chenxi's pupils trembled slightly, as if unaccustomed to it, or perhaps disbelieving. He blinked repeatedly, watching her expression remain unchanged. Only then did he realize that what was before him wasn't a dream.

He suddenly thought of the voice that kept coming from beside him during the surgery.

She agreed that when he was better, she would cook him a whole table full of dishes.

She asked, he promised grandma that he would take care of her, but did it count

She said that after the divorce, he wouldn't let her go and thought he was in love with her, so she asked him to explain.

Ho Chen Xi reached out with effort, his long and narrow eyes filled with anticipation towards Su He.

Su He stared at his hand, his expression slightly changing.

However, the hand that hung by his side remained still. led people to misunderstand Su He. If it weren't for Storm and Moon supporting her, and Shen Zhaolin announcing her identity to dispel the doubts, those vicious rumors would have driven Su He to a co...
