After Rebirth, Married to a Deadly Enemy - Chapter 60
Early the next morning, Bai Xiangxing didn’t rush to go to work. Instead, he was thinking of excuses to go to the hospital and coincidentally encounter Bai Cang and his son.
How about going to the hospital for a physical examination?
“What are you thinking?” At the dining table, Shi Zhen, seeing Bai Xiangxing absent-mindedly eating, asked curiously.
“I’m thinking of going to the hospital for a physical examination,” Bai Xiangxing said.
“Are you not feeling well?” Shi Zhen became nervous.
“Xingxing Ge, are you not feeling well?” At the other end of the dining table, Shi Ning was also very nervous, but his nervousness was somewhat different from Shi Zhen’s. His eyes were bright, his cheeks were flushed, and compared to nervousness, he seemed more excited.
Glancing at Shi Ning, is he imagining himself becoming an uncle again?
“No, I just want to find an excuse to go to the hospital,” Bai Xiangxing said.
“Why do you need an excuse to go to the hospital?” Shi Ning didn’t understand, and neither did Xiang Rong, but Shi Zhen immediately understood.
With the nervousness dissipating, Shi Zhen casually handed Bai Xiangxing a boiled egg, “It’s probably still early, it’s probably in the afternoon.”
“Yeah, I’ll go for a physical examination in the afternoon then,” Bai Xiangxing said.
Still early? Is he going to the hospital to visit a patient? Shi Ning speculated, wanting to ask further, but Shi Zhen handed him a bun, “Eat, there’s no exam today.”
“Yes, today’s the final exam, I need to go to school early to review,” Shi Ning was startled, only then did he remember that he had an exam today, and his eating speed immediately increased.
Xiang Rong didn’t understand this behavior of cramming before the exam. “It’s useless to study now. Just apply what you’ve learned on normal days.”
“You don’t understand, studying a little longer now, if you’re lucky, you can get one or two more points,” Shi Ning said.
“…Xiang Rong.”
He really didn’t understand. Since he started taking exams, there hasn’t been a chance for him to get more points on the paper.
After breakfast, Bai Xiangxing went to work as usual. After half a day of work, Bai Xiangxing suddenly had Wang Ping drive him to a five-star restaurant in the city for a delicious lunch. After eating, under the pretext of taking a walk, he ended up walking to the nearby comprehensive hospital.
Wang Ping felt that his boss was acting strange today, but he didn’t ask, just followed quietly behind. Wherever Bai Xiangxing went, he went, as long as there was no danger nearby. He followed Bai Xiangxing on his purposeful stroll to the floor where the human pheromone disorder ward of the hospital was located.
Is he here to visit a patient?
Bai Xiangxing walked through the wards one by one. This was the senior ward area, and the name of each patient was labeled outside each room. However, after circling around, Bai Xiangxing didn’t see the names of Bai Cang or Bai Xiangqing from beginning to end.
Are they not in this hospital? That shouldn’t be, the Bai family usually goes to this hospital when they’re ill.
Bai Xiangxing walked to the service desk and couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, where are Bai Cang and Bai Xiangqing’s rooms?”
When the nurse heard the names Bai Cang and Bai Xiangqing, her eyes suddenly lit up, “Are you their family?”
“No, I just heard they were hospitalized, so I came to check on them.” It’s a joke, how could he be their family.
The nurse seemed a bit disappointed when she heard that, but still replied, “They’ve been transferred to the ordinary ward on the thirteenth floor.”
“They’ve been transferred to the ordinary ward?” Bai Xiangxing raised an eyebrow.
“They were originally staying on this floor, but they couldn’t afford the treatment fees, so they were transferred to the ordinary ward,” the nurse explained.
Bai Xiangxing was shocked, couldn’t hold back anymore, and asked, “They can’t even afford the medical expenses?”
“That’s right, the Bai family used to be so wealthy, but now, after going bankrupt, they’re even poorer than me. And to make things worse, they’ve been injected with the forbidden drug, it’s really miserable,” the nurse tutted, “Treating this illness is not cheap at all, and there’s still a month of recovery period behind. The younger one might be okay, he can still marry after becoming an Omega, but the older one is doomed, no one will want him. I wonder who they’ve offended… Anyway, they’re staying in room 1302, you can go see them.”
The nurse suddenly realized that she might have said too much and hurriedly told Bai Xiangxing the room number before stopping talking.
“Thank you.” Bai Xiangxing didn’t ask further and turned to take the elevator to the thirteenth floor.
1302, this is a six-bed room, the cheapest ward in the comprehensive hospital. The beds are separated by curtains, so it’s considered separate spaces.
“I said, I have money, you transfer me back to the senior ward first, I don’t want to stay here.”
As soon as Bai Xiangxing entered the room, he heard Bai Xiangqing’s voice, though weak, it was unmistakably his.
Perfect, no need to search anymore, Bai Xiangxing walked directly over as he listened from afar to Bai Xiangqing arguing with the doctor.
“You’d better sign the medical loan contract,” the doctor earnestly advised, “If you don’t sign, we won’t be able to give you the medication.”
“I won’t sign… I have money, I have millions.”
“You have money, then pay the medical expenses. Your body is still relatively strong, but your father can’t hold on for too long. If he’s not treated in time, his body will collapse in the future,” the doctor persuaded.
“I have money, I don’t want to stay here.” Bai Xiangqing’s voice grew weaker.
The doctor also knew his current situation and didn’t dare to stress him too much, sighed and said, “Fine, you have money, but you only have three days. If you don’t leave the hospital within three days, the loan contract will automatically take effect, linked to your account.”
After saying that, the doctor ignored Bai Xiangqing’s shouts of having money behind him and walked away.
Bai Xiangxing listened for a while from behind, roughly understanding the situation. Bai Xiangqing was out of money, and the several million star coins that were transferred had disappeared. It should be the doing of Xiang Rong. This brat, although he did a good job, he couldn’t praise him when he went back.
“I… have money, I have money…”
Bai Xiangxing listened quietly for a while, waiting for Bai Xiangqing’s voice to calm down before calmly “passing by” Bai Xiangqing’s bed. Bai Xiangqing was gasping for breath, playing with the neurostimulator on his wrist, and suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by, his eyes widened in disbelief, almost falling off the bed, “Bai Xiangxing, is it you?”
Bai Xiangxing turned to look, with no sympathy in his eyes. What he was experiencing now was exactly what he had experienced before, and even twice. He was also unlucky, why did he have to be injected with the forbidden drug again on the day of his rebirth, couldn’t it have been a few days earlier or later, sparing him the suffering twice.
“Oh, it’s really you, what’s wrong with you?” Bai Xiangxing asked with a concerned look.
“Bai Xiangxing… don’t pretend, is it you?” Bai Xiangqing was emotionally excited, trying to sit up, but his body was too weak to move.
“What are you talking about, I don’t understand.”
“Last night, was it you, was it you who had someone inject us with the sub-gender changing potion.”
“What? You’ve been injected with a sub-gender changing potion? Who did it, have you reported it?” Bai Xiangxing asked with concern, “I have experience with this kind of thing, I was also framed before, but without evidence, reporting it was useless.”
“Bai Xiangxing, don’t pretend, it’s you…”
“Not me!” The curtain of the next bed was suddenly pulled open, and Bai Cang’s pale face emerged. He was older, and the burden of the sub-gender changing potion was greater when transforming his body, so he looked even more miserable than Bai Xiangqing, “It wasn’t us who injected it.”
By now, Bai Xiangqing also realized that if he admitted that he had injected Bai Xiangxing with the potion, he would end up in prison when he left the hospital.
“Bai Xiangxing, don’t pretend, it’s just…”
“It wasn’t us!”
“Bai Xiangxing, did you inject us with the sub-gender changing potion?” Bai Xiangqing didn’t answer Bai Xiangxing’s question, persistently asking.
Bai Xiangxing looked at him with a look of stupidity in his eyes. Can you really ask such a question?
“Don’t falsely accuse me. I’m the CEO of Xinshi. Xinshi is about to go public. If you defame me and damage my reputation, even if I sell you, I won’t be able to compensate you.” Bai Xiangxing smiled.
“It’s you, how else would you know we’re here?”
“I came for a physical examination. I happened to hear your voice when passing by the door, so I came in to take a look. It turned out to be you.” Bai Xiangxing finished with a smile, then said, “If you don’t believe me, it’s okay. You can also think of me as someone who heard you were in trouble and specially came to watch the fun. Watching fun isn’t illegal, right?”
“You…” Bai Xiangqing was so angry he almost fainted.
Bai Cang, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He looked at Bai Xiangxing with a sorrowful expression, “Xingxing, I know you’re angry with your Second Uncle.”
Bai Xiangxing turned to look at Bai Cang, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
“Second Uncle was wrong. He shouldn’t have competed with you for the position of the Bai family heir. You’ve been outstanding since you were young, and your Second Uncle was never as good as you.” Bai Cang confessed.
Bai Cang spoke intermittently, mentioning many things Bai Xiangxing did when he was young, such as taking him to the amusement park, buying him toys, treating him like his own son, and so on. Bai Xiangxing remained silent, smiling calmly and quietly letting Bai Cang speak alone. After a while, Bai Cang, seeing that Bai Xiangxing had no reaction, lost his confidence.
“Xingxing, if you’ve already taken back control of the Bai family, and if your cousin and I end up like this, shouldn’t you be over your anger? You can’t just be ruthless and not even leave us the money for treatment,” Bai Cang said with difficulty.
Bai Xiangqing’s eyes flashed, thinking of the two million star coins he had transferred away, his eyes full of ferocity. Yes, that’s right, suddenly all the money in his account disappeared, it must have been Bai Xiangxing’s doing too.
“Is Second Uncle trying to get me to pay for your medical expenses?”
“Give us back our money.” Bai Xiangqing saw Bai Xiangxing pretending to be stupid, and shouted angrily again.
“Shut up.” Bai Cang once again reprimanded his son, pleadingly looking at Bai Xiangxing, “After all, we’re blood relatives.”
“Blood relatives? So close that Grandfather personally hired Star Pirates to kill me?” Bai Xiangxing sneered.
“That was Grandfather, not us,” Bai Cang said.
Bai Xiangxing looked at the humble and pleading Bai Cang, then at the powerless and furious Bai Xiangqing, suddenly feeling bored. These two were already a lump of shit, stepping on them would only dirty his own feet.
“I really was just passing by. I’m going for a physical examination. I wish you a speedy recovery.” Bai Xiangxing adjusted his clothes and turned to leave.
“Bai Xiangxing… give me back the money.” Bai Xiangqing was still screaming hysterically.
Bai Xiangxing turned back, chuckled lightly, “Oh, by the way, you should sign the loan contract. I have experience with the forbidden drug altering the body. The first three days are crucial, if anything goes wrong, your body will be crippled. Cousin is still young. Take care of your health, wait for the system to match you with an Alpha, and then have a child for him. He will definitely be willing to help you repay the money.”
With that, Bai Xiangxing didn’t stay any longer, leaving the ward and ignoring Bai Xiangqing’s hysterical screams behind him.
After leaving the hospital, Bai Xiangxing sent a message to Shi Zhen: [I want to see Grandfather.]
Shi Zhen quickly replied: [Meet me at the detention center.]
Bai Xiangxing closed the communication and said to Wang Ping, “Let’s go to the detention center.”
Half an hour later, Wang Ping drove Bai Xiangxing to the detention center to see Grandfather Bai.
However, after not seeing each other for more than ten days, Grandfather Bai no longer had the elegance and grace of the past, appearing to have aged ten years.
“Bai Group has been acquired by you?” Grandfather Bai asked calmly upon seeing Bai Xiangxing.
“Yeah.”
“In the end, it’s still in your hands,” Grandfather Bai seemed not to be angry. “Bai Cang is simply no match for you. If it weren’t for you carelessly being injected with the forbidden drug by him, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Oh well, everything is settled. Just leave him some living expenses, and the company can take what it wants.”
“Are you implying that Bai Group was given to me by you?” Bai Xiangxing sneered.
Grandfather Bai remained silent.
“I didn’t come to show off that Bai Group was acquired by me, but to tell you another thing,” Bai Xiangxing said.
Grandfather Bai looked puzzled.
“Bai Cang and Bai Xiangqing were injected with a sub-gender changing potion by someone last night and are currently undergoing treatment in the hospital. But rest assured, there’s no life-threatening danger, and they will both successfully transition into Omegas,” Bai Xiangxing said.
Grandfather Bai trembled all over, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Bai Xiangxing.
Shi Zhen, who had been quiet all along, suddenly took a step forward, releasing his pheromones and instantly suppressing Grandfather Bai’s killing intent.
“As expected…” Bai Xiangxing smiled. “You care more about whether there will be someone to carry on the Bai family bloodline than about the Bai family going bankrupt.”
Grandfather Bai stared at Bai Xiangxing tightly. “You did this on purpose.”
“You’re mistaken. I’m just kindly informing you. I was afraid you wouldn’t know anything stuck in here with no news,” Bai Xiangxing chuckled.
“They care most about money. You took over Bai Group, which is already the biggest punishment for them,”
“But not for you,” Bai Xiangxing said.
With that, Bai Xiangxing turned to Shi Zhen. “I’m done here, let’s go.”
Shi Zhen nodded, and the two of them turned and walked out. On the other side, the prison guard also came to take Grandfather Bai away, but Grandfather Bai suddenly shouted madly, “Unless you never have children for the rest of your life, otherwise the Bai family bloodline will never be broken.”
Shi Zhen stiffened, nervously looking at Bai Xiangxing, afraid he would be provoked again.
Bai Xiangxing turned back with a smile, “Well, whether I have children or not, you’ll never know, right?”
Grandfather Bai was stunned, indeed, he would be going to prison in the future, even if Bai Xiangxing had children, he wouldn’t know, he would never know if the Bai family bloodline had been carried on. As for Bai Xiangqing, Grandfather Bai had never considered it. Bai Xiangqing’s pheromone quality was low even when he was still an Alpha, and after being turned into an Omega, his fertility rate was almost zero.
After coming out of the detention center, Bai Xiangxing’s mood suddenly improved. His past with the Bai family was completely over, and every day from now on would be brand new.
“I’m in a good mood today, so I’ve decided to increase the year-end bonus for Xinshi by another 5% this year,” Bai Xiangxing suddenly said.
“What about me?” Shi Zhen suddenly asked.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“When you’re in a good mood, Xinshi’s employees get a raise, but I get nothing,” Shi Zhen felt sour. After all, it was him who injected Bai Cang and Bai Xiangqing with the forbidden drug.
“You? Haven’t I already taken care of you?” Bai Xiangxing raised his hand to touch Shi Zhen’s face, teasingly saying.
Shi Zhen’s eyes darkened. Well, if he’s taken care of, then so be it. He’ll perform well for his benefactor tonight.
