Redemption from the Abyss: The School Beauty Insists on Pulling Me Out of the Mire

The next morning.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and fine snowflakes began to fall outside the window.

After washing up, Xie Wang casually put on a long black down jacket and drove to Jiangcheng People's Hospital.

When he passed a large toy store, he stopped his car and went in to pick out an authentic Strawberry Bear plush toy that was almost half the height of a person.

He carried the doll and walked into the quiet corridor of the hematology ward.

The patients lying in these wards are all critically ill, sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve by fate.

Xie Wang pushed open the door to the ward, where a seven-year-old girl named Chen Yiyi was sitting alone on the white hospital bed.

The girl wore a cute little yellow knitted hat to cover her hair, which had fallen out due to frequent chemotherapy.

Her face, which should have been full of childlike innocence and vitality, now appeared weak and pale.

Xie Wang placed the huge strawberry bear plush toy next to the bedside table and pulled over a plastic stool to sit down.

Chen Yiyi stopped painting with her watercolors, looked up at the older brother she had only met once, and her clear eyes held a hint of timid anticipation.

"Big brother, where did my dad go to earn money? When will he come back to see me?"

The girl's voice was as soft as a breeze that might dissipate at any moment.

Xie Wang tucked the strawberry bear into the girl's thin arms and tucked the blanket back in.

"Your father has gone to a very far place to do big business. Before that, you must listen to the doctor."

Xie fabricated a white lie.

Chen Yiyi hugged the pink strawberry bear, rested her chin on the soft fur, and nodded obediently.

Xie Wang sat by the white hospital bed, picked up an old fairy tale book from the cabinet, and read the old-fashioned story to her in a low, calm voice.

The little girl gradually became sleepy as the warm male voice sang to her, and her breathing gradually became even and long.

Xie Wang closed the storybook, looking at the girl's pale, innocent face, and a wave of indescribable sorrow surged in his heart.

This seven-year-old life is like the last withered leaf on an autumn branch; no matter how many medical means are used to save it, it will ultimately not escape the fate of withering away.

But looking out at the gray, leaden sky, he suddenly felt that in this cruel world full of malice, simply surviving with this broken body might be an endless torment.

The little girl will become an orphan without parents and will have to struggle to survive under the pitying or disgusted gazes of others, just like herself twelve years ago, trembling in a rented room.

Xie Wang stood up and tucked the girl's cold little hand, which had fallen outside the blanket, back inside.

Without lingering any longer, he turned and walked out of the oppressive and suffocating hospital room.

Driving his black G63, Xie Wang arrived at the Galaxy Science and Technology Park in the High-tech Zone around noon.

In the Xinghuo Network office area, Lu Wen was sitting amidst a thick pile of documents, frantically scratching his head.

Seeing Xie Wang push the door open and come in, Lu Wen grabbed a bound business plan and slammed it heavily on the coffee table as if he had grasped a lifeline.

Lu Wen told him that the cybersecurity business left behind after the collapse of Tianlong Group was much larger than they had anticipated.

Xie Wang picked up the document and began to carefully read through it.

Using the system sketches on the coffee table, the two finalized the business loop for taking over this batch of high-quality state-owned enterprise clients.

After explaining the details of the technical integration, Xie Wang got up and left the company.

Back to the Cloud Top Piano Room.

He went into the bathroom and took a long hot shower, letting the warm water wash away all the fatigue and anger that had accumulated over the past two days.

After drying his hair, Xie Wang stood in front of the mirror by the sink and quietly examined the newly grown ends of his hair.

The scene of Su Qinghe forcing him to endure torture with household scissors is still vivid in his mind.

The hairstyle that was forcibly repaired has now grown into a natural layered look.

He put down the hairdryer, walked to the large wardrobe, and took out the black high-end custom-made suit that Su Qinghe had bought for him.

After changing into this well-tailored, high-quality suit, the boy in the mirror shed the lazy and carefree attitude he had when wearing his school uniform.

Xie Wang straightened his slightly crooked tie in front of the mirror, then took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Su Qinghe across the hall.

He told Teacher Su that he would personally visit her at noon tomorrow.

Su Qinghe quickly replied with a smiling emoji, reminding him to drive safely on the road.

……

early morning

There are only three days left until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xie Wang, dressed in a sharp black suit, started the G63's ferocious engine.

He drove towards the Su family villa.

When he first visited the Su family six months ago, Lu Wen was the one who took him there.

At that time, he felt somewhat out of place.

But now, his mindset has undergone a complete transformation.

The black G-Class, exuding an unstoppable aura, came to a steady stop outside the gate of the Su family's imposing detached villa.

The ornate wrought iron gate slowly opened to both sides, and Su Qinghe was waiting for him on the white steps next to the fountain pool.

Today she wore a beige cashmere long dress with a matching exquisite shawl, making her look gentle yet aloof, with the unique elegance of a well-bred lady.

Su Qinghe's gaze fell on his sharp suit, and a look of amazement flashed in her clear eyes.

She walked up to Xie Wang in her lambskin flats, and with her fair fingers, straightened the hem of his suit jacket, which was free of wrinkles.

Su Qinghe smiled faintly.

"This car is very imposing, and of course, the person driving it looks even better today."

The two intertwined their fingers and walked side by side into the luxuriously decorated villa hall.

On the large leather sofa in the living room, Su Chengyun and Lin Wanyi were sitting together drinking tea.

Lin Wanyi instructed the aunt to quickly go to the kitchen to keep an eye on the cooking time of the seafood, and warmly invited Xie Wang to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Su Chengyun mentioned that major news headlines were bombarding him with news of the arrest of the chairman of Tianlong Group. He expressed his sincerest congratulations to Xie Wang, saying that the cancer had finally collapsed.

"Xiao Xie, congratulations, you've finally gotten your revenge."

Xie Wang solemnly expressed his gratitude to the two elders.

"Thank you, uncles and aunts, this wouldn't have been possible without your help."

Without the Su Group providing a top-notch legal team and powerful media resources, he would not have been able to escape unscathed from the branch office that night on his own.

Lin Wanyi smiled and waved her hand, indicating that they were all family and there was no need for formalities.

Just as the adults were chatting in the living room, a little boy wearing denim overalls came running down the stairs from the second floor.

That was Su Qinghe's cousin, who was staying at his aunt's house during the winter vacation.

It just turned seven this year, which is exactly the age when people and dogs dislike it.

My little cousin rushed towards Xie Wang like a cannonball and grabbed his leg.

"Big brother, help me rank up in King of Glory, my sister says you're the best."

Xie Wang put down his teacup and pinched the child's chubby cheeks with great interest.

He asked the little kid with a smile.

"Why don't you ask your sister to take you flying?"

My little cousin immediately pouted.

"My sister spends all her time reading books and doing physics problems. She doesn't even know where the game icon is. Her skill level must be terrible."

Xie Wang was amused after hearing this.

"Hahaha, kid, your sister is the ultimate being capable of subverting dimensions."

Su Qinghe was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by Xie Wang's exaggerated praise, so she reached out and pinched Xie Wang's outer thigh hard.

Despite the slight pain in his thigh, Xie Wang took out his phone and forcibly pulled Su Qinghe into the game's third-player squad.

The three of them squeezed into a corner of the large sofa, and, accompanied by system sound effects from their phones, began a half-hour-long massacre in the canyon.

She calmly directed Xie Wang to which bush to ambush, causing her younger cousin to gasp in surprise, exclaiming that his sister had activated a X-ray vision cheat.
