Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Pillow-side Scheming

Looking at her older brother’s distrustful gaze, Madam Sheng firmly nodded, "That’s right, I’ve made up my mind. This man isn’t worthy of my love."

"It’s good that you’ve realized this. I told you back when you wanted to marry him that he wasn’t a good match, but you didn’t listen. Now that you’ve finally decided to leave him, we’re happy for you. Rest assured, even after your divorce, you’ll still be the eldest princess of our Qian Family. No one can take that away from you," President Qian said to his sister with an affectionate look.

"Thank you!" Madam Sheng looked at her family, who always prioritized her, and couldn’t help but have her eyes well up with tears.

"Don’t cry now, you’re still injured, and crying isn’t good for your health," President Qian quickly said when he saw Madam Sheng’s eyes brimming with tears.

With President Qian’s reminder, Madam Sheng blinked her tears away and held them back.

"By the way, when are you getting divorced? I can go talk to him right now." Bringing up his sister’s divorce, President Qian became vivacious, clearly eager for Madam Sheng to leave the Sheng Family immediately.

"I will leave the Sheng Family, but not yet." When Madam Sheng mentioned this, a look of unprecedented hatred flashed through her eyes, and she seemed like a fiery blaze that would harm anyone who dared to approach.

"You’re not still hung up on that beast Sheng Hong, are you?" President Qian said with an ugly expression.

"Of course not. After what he did to me today, how could I have any feelings left for him? I will leave, but not in such a disgraceful way. All the pain he inflicted on me, I want to return a thousandfold. And as for the Sheng Group, even though it bears the Sheng name, without me, how could he have the Sheng Group? How could he possibly own it? I contributed half to the Sheng Group’s success, and when I leave, I’ll take that half with me. No! I want to destroy the Sheng Group and leave him as the penniless wretch he once was, then leave with my head held high." Madam Sheng spoke with a frenzied expression.

Anyone would be terrified by Madam Sheng’s demeanor at this moment, yet the Qian family members seemed unfazed and even nodded in agreement with her.

Old Master Qian even said, "Truly a daughter of the Qian Family, showing the spirit of our family. Don’t worry about this matter; we will all be behind you, supporting your decision."

Old Madam Qian echoed, "If you get tired, just come home. Don’t push yourself too hard; we’ll get revenge for you, understand?" The old lady gently stroked Madam Sheng’s hair, looking lovingly at her.

"If you need me, just say the word. Others may fear him, but our Qian Family doesn’t. I’ll go back and let everyone in Shangjing know that from now on, the Qian Family is blacklisting the Sheng Family, and anyone who is on good terms with them will be our enemy." President Qian patted his chest and declared.

"Thank you, brother. I’m lucky to have you all by my side. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do." Seeing her family staunchly standing by her side, supporting her no matter what she decided, Madam Sheng’s cold heart softened, and her eyes welled up once again.

The Qian family, upon seeing Madam Sheng’s tears well up again, quickly tried to comfort her, creating a lively and warm atmosphere that was a stark contrast to Sheng Hong’s side, which was cold and desolate.

When Sheng Hong awoke from his coma, he first stared blankly at the ceiling lamp, and it wasn’t until his eyes felt dry that he blinked, letting tears trickle down the corners of his eyes.

It was all that damned Xu Jiahui’s fault. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up as a shell of a person. Sheng Hong thought through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Sheng Wenhao, who was a guest at Xu Ke’s house, couldn’t completely let go of this matter, and even during meals, he couldn’t stop his mind from wandering.

Xu Ke tapped on the table in front of Sheng Wenhao and teased, "What are you thinking about, zoning out during dinner?"

Sheng Wenhao snapped back to reality and gave Xu Ke a mischievous laugh, "Judging by the time, my dear uncle should have finished his surgery by now. I really want to see what he looks like; I’m sure it’ll be quite a sight." A hint of schadenfreude glimmered in Sheng Wenhao’s eyes.

"Your uncle? Sheng Hong? Why did he end up in the hospital?" Lin Mengyao, who had been managing the Luocheng company’s affairs remotely from home, was unaware of what they had done. Seeing the knowing looks exchanged between Sheng Wenhao and Xu Ke left her puzzled and adorably clueless.

Xu Ke patted Lin Mengyao’s head, stifling a laugh, and whispered into her ear about what Sheng Wenhao had done. Lin Mengyao’s eyes widened in shock, and she covered her mouth, looking at Xu Ke and then at Sheng Wenhao in disbelief.

"You actually did that!" Lin Mengyao’s voice came through her fingers, aghast.

Sheng Wenhao tilted his head slightly, looking innocently at her like a small animal, "What? Does sister-in-law think I did something wrong or that I was too harsh? Don’t forget what my life was like when I first arrived, what life was like for me before, and how my parents died. I think I’ve been merciful enough in dealing with him." Sheng Wenhao’s eyes grew colder as he looked at Lin Mengyao, but remembering that Xu Ke had always been on his side, he held back his anger. If it were someone else, Sheng Wenhao might not have said so much and would have just fought with them directly.

Seeing that he misunderstood her, Lin Mengyao quickly waved her hands to explain, "I don’t think you were wrong. I just didn’t expect it. When you did it, you weren’t seen, were you? Otherwise, knowing how vengeful he is, he’d never let you off. We’ll need to be prepared in advance."

Thinking of Sheng Hong’s eyes snapping open when he did the deed, Sheng Wenhao wasn’t sure if Sheng Hong had seen his face, but knowing that the Sheng Group was particularly unstable lately, Sheng Wenhao didn’t worry too much. He didn’t think that man had the energy to deal with him, so he waved dismissively, unconcerned, and said, "Sheng Group is overwhelmed with troubles now, where does he have the time to deal with me? Besides, isn’t the Sheng Group facing internal and external problems? I’m just a small fry not worth his attention." Sheng Wenhao countered.

"So, there’s no need to worry. I’m still safe," Sheng Wenhao said arrogantly.
