Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 24

Henry Wen did not expect that Winner would say such rebellious words to him.

He meant to let the matter settle once Winner had admitted to his mistake and promised to fix all this. He had even considered forcing Winner to ask Jean for forgiveness. Considering how soft-hearted she was, the apology might have settled Jean.

What kind of man was Winner...

"Get out of here. Get out. Don't call me father from now on."

Henry Wen screamed hysterically. His wrinkled face turned red from the exertion.

Shirley who had been standing right beside them all this time, did not dare to make a sound. She didn't even move! She was afraid that their father would take his anger out on her. So she only watched them without saying a word.

It seemed that she could not do anything except wait for their father to calm down and their mother to return home, so that Henry and Joy could speak and decide how to deal with the situation caused by Winner.

"Fine. I will just leave. Do you think I am proud to be your son?"

Winner said with a sneer before turning and leaving the house.

The room suddenly got quiet.

It was so silent that Shirley could hear her father's heavy breathing.

After a while, Shirley finally summoned the courage to step forward. She gently took the broom out of her father's hand and whispered," Dad."

Lost in his thoughts, Henry did not seem to have heard her.

...

At the hospital, Jean whined," When can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Jean got bored of fiddling with her cellphone. All of a sudden, she seemed to realize something very important and looked at the man beside her with a big smile.

During Jean's stay in the hospital, Zed Qi kept her company. Even when there were extremely urgent issues at the company for him to take care of in person, he would ask his secretary to send the important documents to the hospital.

Hence, whenever Jean Wen was lying in bed and getting bored, she would turn and speak with Zed. No matter what time of the day or night, he would sit beside her and quietly process files.

She had to admit that she was attracted to men who were truly devoted to their work.

On several occasions, Jean watched Zed slyly and found that she was entranced.

At this moment, his long, slender eyes had narrowed to a slit. To her, the expression seemed to add depth and charm to his face. He was wearing a slight smile on his lips, a sly one.

She was indeed fascinated.

Jean Wen could not stop her mind from its naughty thoughts.

Of course, it was just for a moment.

"Hey, when can I be discharged?" she asked again when Zed didn't reply.

"The doctor says you are still too weak to leave the hospital." Zed replied in a cold tone.

"But I feel that I'm well enough already. See, I am fine." Jean continued to whine when she didn't get a proper response.

"Are you?"

Zed lifted his eyebrows and glanced at Jean. He had been through this argument with her so many times that he no longer took her questions seriously.

"It's my body after all. Wouldn't I be the best judge of how I feel?" Jean muttered.

To convince Zed, Jean smiled like a blossomed flower. When she received no reaction, she spoke with Zed Qi in a pretty flattering tone," I am fine. Really! Nothing to worry about. If you don't believe me, you can check. I just got a small scrape on my leg. Everything else is a superficial wound. Besides, I have been in the hospital for so long. Even if anything serious had happened, it should have healed by now, right?"

On hearing this, Zed fell into a thoughtful silence.

Jean's heart soared as she took his silence as an indicator that he was considering whether or not to believe her. Her face instantly turned radiant with joy and expectation.

If Zed agreed with her about leaving the hospital, she could find herself a job and then look for a house...

Thus, she could completely get rid of her family and... Zed Qi!

Zed lifted the corners of his lips. The smile he wore now conveyed where his thoughts were headed. Zed slowly put down the file in his hand, stood, and walked to her bedside. He leaned over and stopped right before her face.

Jane's breath hitched when she realized what Zed was about to do. As he neared her bedside, she found herself struggling to breathe.
