Since her father was hospitalized, she couldn't accompany him. Xia Zhiyu would call her everyday to ask her how she was doing, she felt that she was going crazy.

At 5pm on the 5th day, Xiao Yun called and said that all of her father's tests were done. It was not as bad as she had imagined, and she immediately entered the first stage of treatment.

However, she still had no solution to the company's problems.

Was he really going to surrender like Xia Zhiyu?

Slight Chill really wanted to cry. She had tried her best to solve this problem, but she still couldn't find a way out.

Zhao Cheng hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, "Director Zhang has returned from overseas. It's 7 o'clock tonight at the Cauldron Restaurant."

"Did Uncle Zhang say anything else?"

"Chairman Zhang only said that he would speak of any matters in detail."

"Alright, then please make the arrangements for the car. Don't be late if you go over early."

The phone rang. Slight Chill answered and her little brother's heart-wrenching cry came through. She sighed. "Uncle Zhao, send me home first."

From the moment her father got sick, he had always been with her. Xiao Yun had accompanied her father to Shanghai to treat his illness, so the child could only be brought around by her.

When she reached home, she ran over with tears streaming down her face for her to carry. She didn't want to get down from her arms, so no matter what he said, she couldn't persuade her.

By the time she arrived, Zhang Ming was already in the room. Beside him were two men, who appeared to be in their forties.

Zhang Ming was an old friend of Fu Qing's. Even if his friend was in trouble, he did not stand by and do nothing. He straightforwardly pushed over a cheque.

It was the only warmth she had felt in so many days.

"Slight Chill, even though this is a drop in the bucket, it is still Uncle Zhang's kind intentions. Ever since the financial crisis, my overseas market has basically collapsed, and I feel powerless ?" As long as we pay back the loan the bank requested, Boss Chen, I, Boss Shen, and the rest of us will be able to provide the joint guarantee loan to Fu's and guarantee the proper operation of the capital chain. "

"Uncle Zhang, with these words of yours, I'm relieved." Although it was very difficult, he still saw a bit of hope.

Halfway through his meal, he was about to go out to play when Zhao Cheng walked out with the child in his arms.

When Zhang Ming mentioned Xia Zhiyu, Slight Chill did not know how to answer.

Back then, she and Xia Zhiyu had only registered, and the wedding was arranged after she graduated from university. Thus, other than her relatives, the outside world did not know of this relationship.

Zhang Ming was an elder who had been in the shopping mall for many years. Since she was just a fledgling, she spoke a little more.

Zhao Cheng walked in and surveyed his surroundings. His face was pale as he spoke. "It's gone."

"What? How could it be gone?" Slight Chill also panicked.

"I received a call from Fu Dong, and it only took me two minutes ?"

Slight Chill rushed out of the room and asked the staff on the floor if they saw anything.

She was so anxious that she was crying. At this crucial moment, she had lost her brother. She simply didn't want to live anymore.

There were a lot of rooms on the second floor, so she searched them one by one, but she couldn't find any.

Only Zhang Ming was calmer. "Go check out the surveillance cameras. Don't really lose the child."

Slight Chill leaned against the wall of the long corridor, her entire body trembling.

"Don't worry, as long as it's in a restaurant, the child won't be lost."

Every minute that passed was a torment for her.

Half an hour later, the manager of the restaurant came along with Zhao Cheng and said, "The child went up to Mr. Huo's private room on the third floor with the waiter. Mr. Huo has instructed that no one is to disturb him."

"Mr. Huo, is that Huo Subai?" Slight Chill asked.

"Yes, Mr. Huo Subai."

She wiped away her tears and ran upstairs. Outside the private room, the manager stopped her. "Little girl, I can't afford to offend anyone here. Don't make it difficult for me ?"

"I know him. Bring me there quickly."

Slight Chill couldn't listen to him at all. She wanted to find Thoughtlessness immediately.

She pushed the door open and rushed in. Seeing a familiar man heavily hugging her in his arms, her body softened and she fell to the ground ?

She couldn't stand up, couldn't control her tears. There were a lot of people in this room, and she didn't want them to see her tears. She buried her face in her knees, helplessly curled up into a ball.

He was so frightened by the slightly cold look on his face that he forgot to react while he was in Huo Subai's arms.

Huo Subai passed the child to Tang Bei, then stood up and walked to the door, extending his hand out in front of her.

As his eyes became blurry, the slender male fingers in front of him were as delicate as porcelain. His eyes were as calm and indifferent as usual, while his black eyes were so deep that others were unable to see through them.

Thinking back to every time she had met him, she was always in a sorry state. He had often helped her during these frequent encounters, so Slight Chill could no longer tell if it was due to his deliberate actions or fate that had pushed her towards him step by step.

The current Huo Subai was like a last resort for saving her life, she had no choice but to grab onto it ?

She placed her hand on his warm palm and rested her forehead on his shoulder, crying even more fiercely.

Huo Subai's other hand lightly wrapped around her waist, knowing that she had compromised.

Zhang Ming and the others had also rushed over, and upon seeing this scene they said to Zhao Cheng: "Slight Chill knows Huo Subai, so it's much easier to get the loan."

"..."

Outside the carriage, the neon light continuously streaked across Huo Subai's handsome face, turning into intersecting lights and shadows.

He was still on the phone, looking cold and distant, but he was in a good mood: "It's fine as long as Mr. Tang is here, it doesn't matter if Mr. Huo is here or not."

Slight Chill lowered her head. She knew that he was talking to Tang Bei, his assistant, on the phone.

There were some people that she hadn't been able to see for days, and he had left them with a big table. This was the gap between people.

Sinking into his slightly cold embrace, he looked at Huo Subai for a long time before raising his head and asking softly, "Elder sister, who is he, the new brother-in-law?"

"It should be, right?" Slight Chill was not sure either. After all, from the time they left the Cauldron Pavilion until now, Huo Subai's attitude was hidden and unclear.

Huo Subai retracted her thread and gave him a heavy glance. Then, she shrunk back into Slight Chill's embrace and timidly explained, "Big sister likes to eat shrimp." Thus, he followed the waiter to the box upstairs.

"We'll take big sister out to eat some other day." he said, rubbing his heavy head.

Chen Cheng was overjoyed. "Alright."

Slight Chill was even more embarrassed. She had rejected him so straightforwardly a few days ago, but now she had gone back on her word. She didn't know what to say.

It was cold outside, and the interior of the car became unusually quiet.

The journey home was a long and torturous one. The driver said there was an accident ahead, so he had to wait for a while.

For the past few days, she had only been sleeping for four to five hours under a slight chill. The car was silent again. She felt drowsy. Her head knocked against the window and she changed into a different position to continue sleeping.

When he opened his mouth to wake her up, he heard a "hush" sound. He looked up in astonishment. His elder sister had already been embraced by his "new brother-in-law".
