Work gradually fell in place in the next few days.

Xi Xiaye went out early and came back home late at night as usual. She had a very busy schedule, and Ji Zitong stayed by her side at all times.

In Xi Xiaye’s office.

Xi Xiaye was reading through the report submitted by the Finance Department on her table. One of the a.s.sistant managers was standing in front of her.

“How are things going with the New Era Plaza? Are the events and festive seasons doing well?” Xi Xiaye scrawled her signature at the bottom swiftly as she asked without even raising her head to look at the a.s.sistant manager.

“From the data, the effect looks great. Ms. Caitlyn even appeared at the event personally. The crowd was hyped up. In addition to the effort of the Administrative and PR Department, the event was a huge success.” The manager sounded pleased.

Being able to work in Glory World was a fortunate turn of events for him. As long as one put the effort in, there would be opportunities to soar higher and get recognized, and the vast number of industries Glory World is involved in was something his compet.i.tors would be jealous of!

Of course, he would be delighted that his company’s business was doing well.

Xi Xiaye nodded with a smile. She handed the doc.u.ment back to him as she raised her head. “You guys have done well. The collaboration between each department is superb. I’ll be sure to ask Chairman Mu for a reward when he gets back.”

“Thank you, Director Xi!” The man took the doc.u.ment from her gratefully.

Xi Xiaye nodded. She pointed at the door elegantly, signaling that he could leave now. The manager left with a smile on his face.

However, he b.u.mped into Xiao Mei at the door as she was about to come in.

“Director!” Xiao Mei rushed into the room in a panic.

“What’s wrong?” Xi Xiaye frowned slightly when she saw Xiao Mei’s expression full of anxiety.

“We just received a call from XX rehabilitation center. They… they say that your grandmother, Madam Deng, can’t hold on any longer. She regained consciousness and said she wants to see you.” Xiao Mei’s voice was trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and managed to finish her sentence.

Thud!

Xi Xiaye’s pen slipped out of her hand as she was stunned for a moment.

Deng Wenwen?

Her condition did not look well after the operation last time, and she could not have really lasted long anyway, but…

Xi Xiaye was feeling sentimental. It was not exactly sadness she was feeling, but she did not feel great. After staying quiet for a little while, she stood up and grabbed her coat as Xiao Mei quickly called Ji Zitong.

When Xi Xiaye arrived downstairs, Ji Zitong and two other bodyguards in black suits were already waiting for her. Xi Xiaye did not say anything and went straight into the car.

Ji Zitong turned around from the front pa.s.senger seat and asked Xi Xiaye, “Director Xi, where are we going?”

“XX Rehabilitation Center.”

Xi Xiaye put a hand onto her forehead in exhaustion. She ma.s.saged the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows and looked outside the window, wanting some silence.

It was around noon when they arrived at the rehabilitation center and the sun was still up, but the cold wind kept on blowing. Xi Xiaye wrapped herself up with her coat to withstand the wind around her as she walked through the corridor quietly with Ji Zitong and the two bodyguards behind her.

When she arrived at Deng Wenwen’s room, she noticed someone else outside. It was a familiar figure.

“Ms. Xiaye!”

Xi Xiaye then realized it was Han Yifeng’s a.s.sistant, Secretary w.a.n.g!

Xi Xiaye nodded and turned around to look inside the room. Secretary w.a.n.g then said, “Ms. Xinyi is inside. Elder Madam regained consciousness just now and said she wanted to see you, so the hospital gave you a call. We can’t reach Mayor Xi’s phone…”

Xi Xinyi?

Xi Xiaye’s eyes darkened, but they soon returned to normal.

Father should be sleeping at this moment.

Without pausing, she went in together with Ji Zitong while the two bodyguards in black suits waited outside the door.

There was a suffocating atmosphere inside the room. Accompanied by the sound of the machine beeping and her heavy breathing, she seemed to be struggling.

Xi Xinyi was standing beside the bed. She had almost fully recovered after nearly a month of rest and seemed very well right now. She should be enjoying her life pleasantly as of late with her child’s full moon celebration around the corner.

Xi Xinyi turned to the door when she heard footsteps, and she saw Xi Xiaye in an all-black outfit.

She tied her hair into a clean bun while the large coat totally hid her belly. With her usual elegant face and indifferent expression, Xi Xiaye glanced over at her before walking towards the other side of the bed.

Deng Wenwen looked extremely weak. Perhaps because she noticed Xi Xiaye’s arrival, she slowly opened her eyes, hardly able to focus, and could only see Xi Xiaye’s blur figure. She blinked several times as if she was trying to gain clarity in her sight.

Xi Xiaye watched Deng Wenwen from above with her expression still indifferent. At that moment, she felt she seemed comical and lamentable, but she could see a tint of regret in Deng Wenwen’s eyes!

Regret!

She had started to regain a little bit of consciousness since the operation last time, but she never visited again since then. Now, she was truly reaching her end.

Deng Wenwen had worked so hard all her life, used up all kinds of tricks and strategies, and this was what happened to her in the end. Was this not sad and ludicrous itself?

Xi Xiaye’s eyes turned dull. She was not sure what she felt right now, but the situation did make her feel oddly uncomfortable. How should she be facing Deng Wenwen right now?
