Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband Chapter 1598 - I'll Kill You While You're Sick

Chapter 1598: I’ll Kill You While You’re Sick
“It’s okay. My mother is with her. I told her that you had something going on at the last minute and you’ll be very busy during this period, so you won’t be able to accompany her until you’re done with your matters. She’s very obedient. She’ll understand.”
Xiao Xi closed her eyes quietly.
“Rest assured. President Su has hired security guards to be stationed at the hospital. No one will hurt you again.”
Xiao Xi suddenly cowered. When it happened, she was really afraid that something like what happened with Xiao Ming would happen again.!!
Fortunately, those people only hit people and did nothing else…
However, Xiao Ming’s matter still left her with lingering fear.
Wu Jiaheng covered the back of her hand. She moved and pulled her hand away.
Sensing her resistance, Wu Jiaheng didn’t do anything else. He went to get water and moistened her lips with a cotton swab.
After a long time, Xiao Xi asked, “Have the bad guys been caught?”
“They’ve been caught, but there’s no evidence that they’re related to the Xiao family,” Wu Jiaheng said.
Xiao Xi trembled again. “Do you know about me and Xiao Ming?”
“I do,” Wu Jiaheng said honestly. He had known from the beginning when the matter first blew up. He was also in the entertainment industry, so how could he not know?
He admired her courage and strength.
He didn’t think too much about anything else.
Xiao Xi smiled bitterly. “So, don’t like me. It’ll be troublesome. Besides, I’m not worth it…”
“You’re a victim. There’s nothing about you that isn’t worth it. I just know that you’re a good woman,” Wu Jiaheng whispered. “You can’t despise yourself.”
“I’m not despised with myself. I’m just afraid,” Xiao Xi said as tears rolled down her face.
The pain of being a victim was secondary.
The psychological trauma was indelible.
The self-disgust and depression, especially the disgust for her own body, had always been a shadow that haunted her.
Hence, she was afraid of being loved. She could be honest in front of everyone, but in front of the person she liked, she would fall back into darkness.
Wu Jiaheng wanted to hold her hand, but after reaching out, he retreated.
He was afraid that she would feel even worse.
“Rest first. I’ll be here.” He tucked her in before sitting down again.
…
News of Xiao Xi’s injury spread like wildfire.
There were rumors in the outside world that the Xiao family had done this.
Su Bei also posted words with a strong condemnation of this evil deed and denounced the Xiao family. Xiao Ming’s Weibo account, which had long stopped functioning, was also filled with curses.
However, the Xiao family did not respond. They were busy filming and promoting A Tale from the Qin Dynasty.
The last time Xiao Ming was injured and imprisoned, the Xiao family had to pay a sum of compensation to the parties affected. They had to pay compensation for the movies Xiao Ming failed to complete and for the loss of reputation of some brands that were involved with him.
Although the Xiao family was huge, Xiao Ming was injured and in jail now. He was over 50 years old and had no children. Additionally, the huge scandal hurt the Xiao family’s foundation. The other companies also took the opportunity to take over their market.
The Xiao family’s share price had fallen to the limit again and again.
Hence, the Xiao family was very eager to make a comeback.
Xiao Ming’s father was already in his 70s. He was a little out of his depth. If A Tale of the Qin Dynasty failed, the Xiao family would be in danger.
Their family was clearly not much different from the Lu family, but they could not withstand too many troubles. They were already in a very dangerous situation.
Xiao Ming’s mother was the one behind the incident that befell Xiao Xi.
She really couldn’t take it lying down.
Xiao Ming was seriously injured. The doctor said that there was no hope of him becoming a father in the future. Even artificial insemination would not do. He was the only child in Xiao Ming’s generation in the Xiao family. The rest were all collateral relatives.
Hence, the foundation of the entire Xiao family was broken.
That was why she hated Xiao Xi and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Su Bei had roughly guessed that it was Madam Xiao who did it.
At a public event, Su Bei met Madam Xiao when she was representing Nirvana Entertainment.
She stepped forward and greeted her.
When Madam Xiao saw Su Bei, she was even angrier than when she saw Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi was the fuse for Xiao Ming’s incident, but the young man in front of her was the mastermind behind the entire matter.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in public, Madam Xiao would have taught Su Bei a lesson!
“Su Lu, don’t think that just because you’re on the moral high ground that you can criticize the Xiao family,” Madam Xiao said angrily.
“Madam Xiao, I advise you not to think that there’s a loophole in the law for you to exploit. It definitely won’t be easy to brush off the fact that you injured Xiao Xi.”
Madam Xiao sneered. “Do you have evidence?”
“I don’t need evidence. Only the Xiao family has a grudge against Xiao Xi. If you want your company’s share price to fall even more, feel free to try again. You can challenge the bottom line of the public and see what their attitude is,” Su Bei said word by word, her tone filled with warning.
Madam Xiao trembled.
Indeed, the Xiao family’s share price could no longer fall any lower. If this continued, they would be delisted. The consequences would be disastrous. Their covetous competitors would also quickly devour them like vultures.
The Xiao family’s current hope was on A Tale of the Qin Dynasty.
Hence, as soon as they finished filming, they did a lot of publicity work.
Although the cast and actors this time were not bad, without Su Bei as the female lead, the topic would naturally not be as popular as expected.
But was this a difficult hurdle for the Xiao family and Tan Tian?
No!
Didn’t Su Bei act in this TV show at the start?
In that case, the headline would be ‘Su Bei was once in the cast of A Tale of the Qing Dynasty. The show that’s paying homage to history has completed filming.’
Didn’t Su Bei quit later?
In that case, the headline could also be ‘A Tale of the Qin Dynasty, which rendered Su Bei unable to hold onto her role, is about to be released.’
‘She’s prettier than Su Bei? Her acting skills are better than Su Bei’s? She’s the new female lead of A Tale of the Qin Dynasty, Manli!’
‘Jiang Manli, a worthy contender of the Best Actress Su Bei, attended a charity banquet and made all the men on the red carpet fall for her.’
The photos of Manli that were released were all exquisite photos of her. As for Su Bei, they posted random photos of her that were very blurry. They used high-definition exquisite photos of Manli to compare them to Su Bei’s extremely ordinary photos to create a sense of glamour for Manli.
When the male lead, Li Junyu, was interviewed, he publicly said, “I think Su Bei is used to filming movies. It’s normal for her to find it difficult to get into character when filming TV shows. After Manli joined the set in the later stages, everyone’s progress was indeed much faster. If there’s a chance, I hope to work with Su Bei in movies. I think she’ll be much better when filming movies.
“As for Su Bei’s character, I can’t say much about it. Hahahaha, it is whatever you see, hahahaha.”
In any case, he had to praise Su Bei to show that he had no ill intentions.
