The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.
Chapter 54 Make a Deal
The next day, He Yun Shen sat in the top-floor office of the He Group. After finishing his work, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then picked up his phone to dial Bai Yi Shu's number.
"The arrangements have been made, and the Bai family will receive the funds soon."
He paused, his tone unconsciously softening.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm in the hospital."
Bai Yishu arrived at the hospital early in the morning. Her father was recovering quite well today, and after communicating with the doctor, he could be discharged in a day or two.
He Yun Shen held his phone in silence for a moment, his voice low.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit. There are some things I'd like to discuss with your father."
As Bai Yishu walked towards the ward, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
He Yun Shen's lips curled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of mystery, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
"You'll find out soon enough. Just wait for me, okay?"
"All right."
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Wait for me in the ward."
He Yunshen hung up the phone, got up, picked up his suit jacket, and instructed his secretary to prepare the car while putting it on.
Twenty minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the hospital ward, and then the door was pushed open. He Yun Shen's tall figure appeared in front of the ward, and his gaze softened the moment it met Bai Yi Shu's.
"Yi Shu".
He called her softly, stepped into the ward, and closed the door behind him.
Bai Yishu got up and walked to the door.
"You've arrived."
He Yun Shen gently rubbed her head, glanced at Bai's father on the hospital bed, saw that his eyes were closed, then turned to look at Bai Yi Shu and lowered his voice.
"I have something to discuss with your father. Is he awake?"
"woke up."
"That's good."
He Yunshen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"There are some things I need to clarify with him in person. Could you please step outside for a moment? I'd like to speak with him alone."
Bai Yishu was curious about what he wanted to say, but she didn't ask any further questions. She walked out of the ward and closed the door.
Bai's father slowly opened his eyes on the hospital bed. The moment he saw He Yun Shen, a mixture of surprise and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
"President He..."
Mr. Bai tried to sit up, his voice sounding weak.
"Uncle Bai, you can just lie down, you don't need to get up."
He Yun Shen walked quickly to the bedside. He maintained a polite and distant demeanor on the surface, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. He bowed slightly and lowered his voice.
"There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately."
He glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye and confirmed that Bai Yishu had left and closed the door.
Seeing that Bai's father was silent as if waiting for him to speak, He Yun Shen straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, and his aura became somewhat oppressive.
"Uncle Bai, I'll be frank."
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear and forceful.
"Yi Shu almost did something foolish last night because of the Bai family's affairs."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai's body trembled, and his eyes flashed with astonishment and guilt.
"President He... Yi Shu, she..."
Mr. Bai tried to sit up, but fell back onto the bed due to his weakness, his tone full of anxiety and regret.
"How could this child..."
"Don't blame yourself too much."
He Yunshen's tone softened slightly, but his expression remained serious. He stood by the bed and looked directly into Bai's father's eyes.
"Uncle Bai, I'm here today to make a deal."
He Yunshen's tone left no room for doubt, giving Bai's father no time to think.
"I can completely resolve the Bai family's crisis, but I have one condition."
His voice was firm and slow, each word seemingly carrying immense weight.
The father on the hospital bed paused, his eyes filled with struggle. After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Mr. He... what are your conditions? As long as I can do it..."
He Yun Shen deliberately remained silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the ward seemed to freeze. He bowed slightly and said, word by word.
"My condition is that you marry Yi Shu to me."
He Yun Shen straightened up, his face regaining its usual composure, but his eyes were fixed on Bai's father, waiting for his reaction.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai's eyes widened in disbelief, and his breathing became rapid.
"Mr. He...you..."
He coughed violently a few times, and his emotions became uncontrollably agitated.
"Does Yi Shu...do she know?"
"We don't know yet."
He Yun Shen remained calm, his eyes seemingly nonchalant, yet concealing a hint of tension.
"However, I am confident that I can make her willing to marry me. Uncle Bai, please think it over carefully; this is the only way to resolve the Bai family's crisis at present."
He Yunshen looked down at Bai's father, and although he said that, he didn't actually give Bai's father much room to consider.
After a while, He Yunshen saw that Bai's father remained silent for a long time, and he felt a little anxious, but he had no choice but to wait patiently. The only sound in the ward was the ticking of the medical equipment.
He Yun Shen raised his hand to look at his watch, and spoke again.
"Uncle Bai, I can give you time to consider, but not too long. After all, you know the Bai family's situation better than I do."
These words brought a lot of invisible pressure to Bai's father. Looking at the man in front of him with his determined attitude, a sense of powerlessness gradually took over the depths of his heart.
He understood that given the Bai family's current situation, this might be the best approach, but he didn't know if it was the most beneficial choice for Yi Shu.
The father's eyes were full of conflict. After a long silence, he finally spoke with difficulty.
"President He, I... I can agree to that, but you must promise to treat Yi Shu well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance."
He stared intently at He Yunshen, his eyes filled with worry and anticipation.
"Uncle Bai, don't worry."
He Yun Shen was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm and his voice was firm and powerful.
"If I, He Yun Shen, have wronged Yi Shu in the slightest, I will not forgive myself without you having to tell me."
He stood up straight, his eyes filled with utmost sincerity.
"Since you've agreed, I'll go and make the necessary preparations."
After He Yun Shen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. He paused for a moment when his hand was on the doorknob, and looked back at Bai's father.
"Uncle Bai, there's one more thing. Before my marriage to Yi Shu is announced, please don't tell her my conditions."
Without waiting for Bai's father's response, he quietly opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Bai Yishu was sitting in the corridor when she saw He Yunshen come out and immediately went up to him.
"What did you talk about?"
When He Yun Shen saw her immediately ask, a slight ripple flashed in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless, and the corners of his lips curled up in a smile.
"It's nothing important, just some details about the Bai family's capital injection. You don't need to worry."
His tall figure loomed over Bai Yishu, his gentle gaze revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Bai Yishu nodded in understanding, showing no doubt about his words.
Seeing that she didn't ask any further questions, He Yun Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, his movements slow and gentle.
"Your father seems to be in good spirits. I've already told him that we'll have a meal together once he's feeling a bit better."
