From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Su Qing and I both turned our heads to look in the same direction, following her gaze.

A middle-aged man wearing a business short-sleeved shirt was seen walking briskly towards them.

The man exuded a capable and sophisticated air, wearing an exquisite luxury watch on his wrist, his every move revealing his impressive status and wealth.

As soon as the man approached, the middle-aged woman rushed forward and clung tightly to his arm, tearfully recounting her grievances:

"Honey! You have to stand up for me! It was this deliveryman who pushed Mom and made her faint!"

"I argued with him for a bit, and the two of them ganged up on me! Mom still hasn't woken up, it's so pitiful!"

Hearing these slanders, I felt both angry and helpless.

Having worked in the service industry for so long, I've really seen all sorts of people.

Good deeds and good intentions don't always bring good rewards; this is the most frustrating reality.

However, the next second, a dramatic scene suddenly unfolded.

The middle-aged man, who was originally full of anger and about to step forward to question us, froze the moment his gaze fell on us.

To be precise, it was after he saw Su Qing.

He froze on the spot, completely motionless.

Seeing her husband standing motionless, the middle-aged woman panicked and immediately reached out to shake his arm.

"Honey, say something! What are you standing there for! Get us justice right now!"

The man continued to stare intently at Su Qing, remaining stunned for several seconds before tentatively asking, "You are...Ms. Su?"

Su Qing seemed not to recognize him, glancing at him coldly and saying, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

The man quickly composed himself and explained cautiously, "Ms. Su, it's normal that you don't recognize me. I've seen you before; I went to your company to participate in a bidding process. You probably don't remember me."

He's yet another person who relies on the Su family's resources and the Xingchen Group for his livelihood.

This is enough to show how large the Su family's business is and how extensive their network of connections is.

The seemingly well-off middle-aged man in front of Su Qing was utterly insignificant.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing immediately snorted coldly: "And then what? Weren't you going to frame someone?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman quickly lowered her voice and asked, nestled against her husband's arm:

"Honey, what's going on? Who is this woman?"

The man was both anxious and flustered. He glared at her fiercely and gritted his teeth as he snapped:

"You still dare to ask! You've caused a huge disaster! This is Chairman Su's own daughter from Xingchen Group! Our company has been relying on Xingchen's projects to survive, and you actually dared to offend her and even frame someone close to her!"

"What?!"

The middle-aged woman was instantly struck dumb, frozen in place.

The arrogant and domineering attitude he had displayed just moments before vanished without a trace, leaving him completely at a loss, not even daring to lift his head.

At that awkward moment, the emergency room door was gently pushed open.

A nurse frowned and poked her head out, looking disapprovingly down the noisy corridor, and whispered a reprimand:

"This is the emergency ward, you need to rest quietly! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? The patient has just been out of danger, can't you be a little more quiet?"

The middle-aged man immediately snapped out of his daze and hurried forward: "Hello nurse, I'm the patient's son. How is my mother doing?"

The nurse glanced at him, then turned to look at me standing to the side, her gaze softening as she slowly spoke:

"The patient is fully conscious and his vital signs are completely stable. To be honest, your family should really thank this deliveryman."

"The elderly man suddenly fainted due to high blood pressure. Thanks to his on-site first aid and rapid transport to the hospital, the consequences could have been unimaginable."

After saying that, the nurse nodded gently to me: "Young man, the patient asked about you as soon as he woke up. He kept mentioning your name and said he wanted to meet you in person."

These words were like the loudest slap in the face to the couple.

The middle-aged woman lowered her head, her eyes darting around, her face full of shame.

The pent-up frustration that had been building up in my chest all morning completely dissipated at that moment.

I turned and glanced at Su Qing.

Her lips curled up slightly, like a cat that had won a fight.

The middle-aged man beside her turned and glared fiercely at his wife, angrily rebuking her: "Look what you've done! You've been biting people indiscriminately, almost causing a major disaster!"

After scolding his wife, he immediately turned to Su Qing, his face full of ingratiating apology:

"Mr. Su, I'm so sorry! My wife was unreasonable and misunderstood the situation, causing you and your friend to suffer. I sincerely apologize!"

Su Qing raised her hand, her tone carrying the arrogance of a young lady: "No need."

She paused for a moment, then deliberately said, "Weren't you being very impressive just now? I heard your company has a partnership with our group? Okay, I'll remember that. I'll have my dad cancel all our partnerships with you later."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale, and he completely panicked.

For a small company like his that relies on the resources of the Star Group to survive, canceling the cooperation is tantamount to cutting off all his avenues of livelihood.

He repeatedly bowed and apologized, constantly pleading and saying nice things, and was even so angry that he almost hit his wife on the spot.

The middle-aged woman also apologized, her attitude completely different from when she was about to complain about me.

I had no interest in watching their hypocritical farce, so I followed the nurse straight into the ward.

The elderly woman in the hospital bed was fully awake, her complexion was much rosier, and her mental state was significantly better.

As soon as I walked in, she immediately gave me a kind smile.

I quickly walked to the bedside and asked softly, "Grandma, how are you feeling now? Are you alright?"

The old woman looked at me with eyes full of gratitude: "Good child, I'm alright now. Although I fainted just now, I'm still a little conscious. I know you saved my life."

I smiled and gently shook my head: "It's alright, Grandma. It's just what I should do. You don't need to worry about it."

She sighed softly again: "I heard you arguing with my son and daughter-in-law outside just now. They were in the wrong, so don't be upset."

I smiled and waved my hand, saying, "It's really nothing, Grandma. It's most important for you to take good care of yourself."

"You're a good child, I can't let you suffer, I'll definitely talk to them properly."

"Just rest and recover; don't worry about these little things."

The old lady nodded slowly and smiled gently, "Good child, then you go ahead and do your work. After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll ask you to come pick up my packages. I only trust you."

I smiled and agreed, gave a few simple instructions, and then turned and left the ward.

In the corridor, the couple was still apologizing to Su Qing, using every kind word they could think of, their posture so humble it was almost groveling.

Su Qing completely ignored me. I've always disliked her arrogant young lady attitude, but at this moment I have to give her a thumbs up.

Some people need to be severely punished so they will learn their lesson.

As soon as Su Qing saw me come out, she immediately shook off the two of them and quickly followed me.

As we walked out of the hospital, she turned to look at me and asked softly, "Are you alright now?"

I took out a cigarette, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a helpless smile, "It's nothing. I really don't understand you, why did you have to come along and cause all this trouble?"

Su Qing gently raised her chin, a smug look on her face: "Just be happy! If I hadn't been there today, would you have been able to handle things so easily? Look at their humble and fawning expressions now, isn't it incredibly satisfying?"

Looking at her smug little face, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You seem quite used to this kind of situation where you have to bow your head to others."

"They deserved to be taught a lesson! They're bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong, always picking on honest people." Su Qing scoffed, her face full of disdain.

I smiled faintly and said, "But then again, your attitude just now wasn't annoying at all."

Su Qing gave a haughty "humph," becoming even more enthusiastic: "That's right! I'm obviously super cute, okay!"
