Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Attack, Emotion

A cigarette was quickly smoked to the end, and the man crushed the glowing butt before turning away without looking back.

Soon, he had walked quite a distance away, as if implying that if she didn’t catch up, their next meeting would inevitably be in dire straits.

An Ge had just returned to the country, and she couldn’t allow such a bad situation to arise.

If she had to temporarily suppress herself and resolve the big trouble through compromise, she could endure it.

Endure everything about him, even his aggression.

At least until she seized the initiative and had leverage over him, she couldn’t completely sever ties with him.

Finally, An Ge called out towards the direction the man was leaving, "Wait."

The man’s footsteps stopped, but he didn’t turn back.

An Ge gazed at his tall and cold back, took a step forward, and walked toward him.

When she reached him, he looked down at her, his eyes cold, "So, you’ve decided to compromise this quickly?"

The pressure he exerted was intense and sharp.

An Ge instinctively took a step back and looked at him for a while before saying, "Don’t harm Ah Qian."

A mocking laugh deep from the man’s throat overflowed, and An Ge heard him say,

"You always manage to compromise for things and people other than me, never once putting me first. All right, as you wish. You become the mistress, and I’ll spare the adopted son who has no blood relation to you."

After a pause, he added, "As for your daughter’s illness, we’ll have to see about that."

An Ge pursed her lips and asked, "When can I see Ah Qian?"

Huo Shaoyan looked down at her for a moment and then turned to leave again upon receiving a phone call.

This time, An Ge didn’t follow him.

She received a call from Anna.

Anna said, "Leo, Young Master Huo’s people have blocked my apartment; it seems like he won’t stop at nothing to pry open my mouth to find out your whereabouts."

An Ge thought for a moment and said,

"First, figure out the real reason he’s desperate to see Leo, then find a way to deal with it. After we perform the surgery on Xiao Ye, I’ll arrange for you to go abroad quickly."

Anna agreed and asked, "Are we still performing the surgery on Xiao Ye today?"

An Ge replied, "If you can successfully handle Huo Shaoyan, we’ll meet and proceed with Xiao Ye’s surgery."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, An Ge, who was resting in the car, received a report call from Anna.

She said to An Ge,

"President Huo is looking for Leo for two reasons. One, he wants Leo to come out of retirement to perform a heart repair surgery on the seriously ill Commander An of the Imperial City. The other concerns Young Master Huo—"

An Ge frowned, "What happened to Young Master Huo?"

Anna replied, "President Huo didn’t say, he only mentioned that once he meets Leo, he’ll personally discuss it with Leo."

An Ge fell into deep thought.

Could it be that their son, Huo Huaisang, like their daughter Huo Chenghuan, was born with a rare disease due to underdevelopment?

Did Huo Shaoyan want to find Leo mainly to treat Huo Huaisang’s illness?

Within seconds, countless thoughts whirled in An Ge’s mind, and she said to Anna,

"I’ll look for an opportunity to bring Huo Huaisang out, and you can give him a comprehensive examination then."

Anna acknowledged and then added,

"I feel President Huo has secretly assigned people to monitor me, and if he doesn’t see Leo, he won’t easily give up."

An Ge thought for a moment and said,

"Release a signal to the public that Leo will be attending a medical summit in the Imperial City soon to divert his attention for now."

"Okay."

After finishing the call with Anna, An Ge saw Huo Shaoyan leading a large group of people toward the parking lot.

An Ge drove away from the parking lot before Huo Shaoyan noticed her.

After Huo Shaoyan and his entourage left, she returned the car to its original spot.

Subsequently, An Ge went to meet Anna.

At nine in the morning, a meticulously prepared An Ge accompanied Anna to Xiao Ye’s operating room.

Craniotomy was a major surgery, and many members of the Xiao Family were present.

Madam Xiao worriedly asked Xiao Chaofeng beside her,

"Is this doctor named Anna reliable? I don’t want her to treat my eldest grandson poorly."

Even though Xiao Ye was an illegitimate child, the Xiao Family only had two grandsons, one being Xiao Jingchen, the son of Xiao Chaofeng and Nan Yun, and the other being Xiao Ye.

Additionally, since Xiao Chaofeng married Nan Xiao, who was infertile, the male-favoring Madam Xiao paid special attention to Xiao Ye, the grandson.

Xiao Chaofeng had faith in Anna’s medical skills.

Hence, he assured Madam Xiao,

"Dr. Anna is Leo’s designated medical assistant, and her expertise is on par with Jiang Fengmian, so you can rest assured."

Madam Xiao inadvertently glanced at Nan Xiao by Xiao Chaofeng’s side and vented her uneasy anger on Nan Xiao.

She coldly remarked,

"Hmph, you married a woman who can’t bear children, and I can never be at ease. In my old age, I only have two grandsons..."

Xiao Chaofeng interrupted her,

"Though you only have two grandsons, you already have five granddaughters, and the eldest granddaughter is no less competent in the business world than us men."

Madam Xiao sneered,

"Are girls comparable to boys? Granddaughters are destined to be married off. A married woman, once gone, is like water spilled..."

Nan Xiao disliked hearing this and sarcastically retorted, "You’re a woman yourself; why do you look down on girls?"

This provoked Madam Xiao, and she angrily said,

"You’re precisely the kind of barren woman I look down on. If it weren’t for you, Chaofeng would’ve become one with your sister-in-law, Nan Yun already. Because you interfered in their relationship, they didn’t end up together.

And also, because of you, Xiao Jingchen lost a complete family, leading to his current reclusive nature... Let me tell you, Nan Xiao, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let you have peace."

Nan Xiao smirked, jeering, "Let’s see who outlives whom."

Madam Xiao was so furious that she almost passed out.

The surgery took five hours to complete.

Afterward, Xiao Ye was wheeled into the ICU.

Xiao Chaofeng approached Anna and asked, "How did the surgery go?"

Anna candidly replied, "Though the process was tense, the outcome was quite good. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Xiao is likely to wake up."

After Xiao Chaofeng thanked her, Madam Xiao noticed someone standing behind Anna who looked strikingly similar to An Ge.

Despite wearing a surgical mask and face shield, the unmistakable peach blossom eyes exposed were identical to An Ge’s.

Madam Xiao instantly lost her composure and charged forward to yank off An Ge’s surgical mask,

"You pernicious demoness! How dare you show up at my grandson’s surgery dressed like this? Tell me, what unspeakable things have you done to Ah Ye..."

Don’t underestimate Madam Xiao’s age; she had surprising strength.

When An Ge was caught off guard, Madam Xiao managed to pull off her mask.

Upon seeing An Ge’s face, Xiao Chaofeng was also taken aback.

His dark eyebrows furrowed, and his voice was icy, "What are you doing here?"

An Ge performed Xiao Ye’s brain surgery, and Anna only assisted.

However, An Ge didn’t want to reveal her identity as Leo, so Anna had to step in to clarify,

"Ms. An Ge is a sponsor of Jingcheng Hospital. The advanced medical equipment used in this surgery was sponsored by her.

Since we aren’t particularly skilled in operating advanced medical equipment and fear unforeseen circumstances during surgery, we invited Ms. An Ge to be present to handle any emergencies."

Xiao Chaofeng narrowed his eyes, "Sponsor?"

Madam Xiao was equally shocked, as she remembered An Ge as nothing more than a flashy but useless woman.

Five years ago, she had clung to Huo Shaoyan like an ant to survive; how could she possibly be wealthy enough to be a sponsor for Jingcheng Hospital?

Therefore, Madam Xiao immediately expressed her doubt,

"How is that possible? She’s just a useless demoness; how could she afford to be a sponsor for Jingcheng Hospital..."

At this moment, Nan Xiao cut in to defend An Ge,

"Why not? Just because you couldn’t achieve something significant doesn’t mean others can’t make a name for themselves and shine."

Madam Xiao retorted,

"Look at her seducing men with her foxy charm. Even if she’s made a name for herself, it’s through gaining positions via men.

Rumor has it she’s currently involved with Huo Shaoyan’s half-brother, Huo Qingzhou. Could it be that he’s her mysterious benefactor?"

An Ge frowned and said, "Even if my benefactor is Huo Qingzhou, what does that have to do with you?"

With that, An Ge turned and walked away.

Afterward, Xiao Chaofeng called Huo Shaoyan.

After recounting the incident to Huo Shaoyan, he said, "It seems An Ge is really having an affair with your big brother, Huo Qingzhou."
