An Yibei rushed to the hospital as soon as he finished work .
Pushing the door open, he saw a quivering lump under the duvet .
He had been able to keep his mind calm, until he saw this scene .
Walking up to the bed, he lifted the duvet . A red-eyed An Xiaxia looked up at him . She had huddled up in a ball, looking as fragile as an abandoned baby .
“You big baby! Stop crying! Your tears won’t bring those people back!” An Yibei’s voice was cold as ice .
An Xiaxia asked in a nasal voice, “Have they found… Kang Jian’s body?”
An Yibei sighed . “No…”

“So, there’s a chance that he’s still alive?” An Xiaxia’s face lit up .
An Yibei couldn’t bring himself to refute her and nodded .
That chance was very slim .
“Wen Qing’s and He Dongyang’s families have been taken care of . Their ashes have been brought back and their families will get compensation from the news agency, the government, and the insurance company . At least they won’t be troubled financially in the future,” An Yibei said indifferently, detaching himself emotionally .
An Xiaxia was saddened by those words . After all, those two people had been colleagues she interacted with on a daily basis and she still had a hard time accepting it .
“Mr . Song… was here today . ” An Xiaxia calmed herself down a little and told An Yibei .
An Yibei clenched his fists and lowered his tone . “What was he doing here?”
“He said he wanted to take me back home . ” An Xiaxia wrung her hands together . “Brother, he’s my biological father, but you knew that already, didn’t you?”

The look on An Yibei’s turned a little grim . “Hm? Are you blaming me now?”
“I’m not!” An Xiaxia smiled bitterly . “It just feels so ironic…”
“Do you want to go with him?” asked An Yibei .
He had been running away from that question for years, but he had to face it now .
He wasn’t sure what Mr . Song really thought of An Xiaxia .
If he loved her, why did he drive her mother mad and let her rot in that place?
If he didn’t care for her, his concern for her seemed to say otherwise .
Moreover, rich families had their own internal strife . Letting An Xiaxia go back in a rush would only do her harm .

“I hate him,” An Xiaxia said through gritted teeth .
An Yibei frowned . “Xiaxia, control yourself! Forget about revenge . He’s still your father, after all!”
An Xiaxia kept her silence . An Yibei didn’t know what to say, but still found it disturbing .
Hopefully An Xiaxia wouldn’t do anything irrational .
A few days later, An Xiaxia was summoned to the news agency by her manager .
On her way in, she was told that the agency had been taken over by a large group and the manager was probably going to be replaced . He was looking for an excuse to give vent to his frustration and that was very likely why An Xiaxia was here .
As soon as she set foot inside, the assistant hurried in . “The new president is here!”
The manager looked like he had just swallowed a fly and he stood up to greet the new boss .
A tall man walked in unhurriedly, surrounded by a dozen others .
The first thing the manager noticed was the man’s shiny black leather shoes . Moving up, he saw a pair of long legs, a white shirt, and a black suit . An outfit as simple as that somehow looked remarkable on him .
“Mr . Sheng… Nice to meet you . May I help you with anything?” The manager smiled obsequiously . He then waved at An Xiaxia . “Why are you still standing here? Go get Mr . Sheng something to drink . ”
Speechless, An Xiaxia went to fetch two cups of coffee from the tea room . The moment she walked back in, she heard the manager speaking ill of her behind her back . “It was all An Xiaxia’s fault! Nothing would have happened if it weren’t for her! Sigh… we’ve lost two excellent reporters . Mr . Sheng, I suggest that we should fire An Xiaxia!”
