In the end, she still didn't die. Early on the morning of the second day of their wedding anniversary, Xia Ruoyun received the news that the Xia family was short on finances and on the verge of bankruptcy.

The reason he had been able to marry He Mingen back then was also because the Xia Clan had relied on their status in A City to force He Mingen to marry her using the He Corporation as a bargaining chip.

Before that, she and He Mingen had been friends, and even his beloved Aster had only known each other through her.

If she knew that He Ming En would hate her to this extent because of Ye Xuan, she would never …

It was too late, time could not reverse itself.

After hurriedly getting off the car from the He family, she rushed home in a daze. As soon as she stepped into the house, "Peng!" A muffled sound rang out from not too far away.

Her steps abruptly stopped, and her entire body seemed to have frozen over, unable to move in the slightest.

Separated by the sparse rose trunk, Xia Nian Hao's body, like a worn out sack, was lying on the concrete floor.

Dark red blood slowly seeped out from his wounds. Xia Xun's eyes were wide open as tears flooded his eyes like an uncontrollable flood.

Blinding red attacked all her line of sight. Blood, blood everywhere, her father was covered in blood!

"Dad!"

She only had time to scream before she fainted.

When she woke up again, she was already lying on the hospital bed. The housekeeper saw that she had woken up and her old face was filled with sadness.

Before she could think about anything else, Xia Ruoyun immediately jumped up from the bed. She grabbed onto the housekeeper's hand as if she was trying to save a life. "Uncle Meng, how is my father? How is my father?!"

At the time of her birth, her mother had suffered severe bleeding and died after giving birth to her. Xia Nian Hao was her only family member.

It was because he doted on Xia Rui that he did not hesitate to use all sorts of methods to force He Mingen, who had not fully grown yet, to marry Xia Ruoyun.

He hadn't thought that his love for his daughter would be the beginning of all the tragedies.

"Miss …" As soon as the butler opened his mouth, his voice had already trembled a little. He patted Xia Jing's shoulder as if trying to comfort her, "Sir, falling down from the third floor, the back of his head first hit the ground, causing intracranial hemorrhage. The doctor said that his brain has stopped working. "It's impossible for me to wake up in the future …"

Xia Ruoyun felt a loud "hum" in her head; her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife. The pain caused her internal organs to shift places, causing her to be unable to hear anything.

She stumbled out of the bed and ran all the way to Xia Nian Hao.

"Dad, wake up. Look at me, I'm Xia Xia!"

Lying in the sickbed, Xia Nian Hao, full of instruments, pale as a piece of white paper.

He was lying right in front of her, but for a moment he seemed to be very, very far away from her.

Xia Ruoyun was half-kneeling in front of him, silent. A long time had passed, and when she raised her hand, she discovered that her face was covered in tears.

She did not understand how her father, who was fine a few days ago, had suddenly turned into a vegetable in a single night.

Even if the family business were to go bankrupt, his father would not need to use such extreme methods to end it all.

The sun had long since set, and darkness surrounded her.

Her heart felt like it had been thrown into a blender, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.

No one in the world would ever love her again. Never again.

If it weren't for the housekeeper's reminder, the Xia family group would still be waiting for her to come and take care of themselves. Perhaps, out of sadness, she would have gone with Xia Nian Hao.

Even if she died, no one would shed a single tear for her.

There were only two people in this world that she cared about. One was her father, and the other was He Mingyi.

However, just yesterday, He Mingen had personally said that he would let her die.
