Chapter 304: This Matter Must Not Be Known By Others
A loud commotion erupted in the hospital room, drawing the attention of a crowd of onlookers eager for drama.Xiyan sneered coldly, crossing her arms. "Alright, I’ll wait. Let’s just see whether he sides with you, the delicate little white lotus, or with me!"
With Xia Shiyi injured, Yang Shurong didn’t linger and hurriedly took her precious daughter to get checked out.
Outside the patient room, Yang Shurong supported Xia Shiyi as they walked, hesitating before speaking. "Sweetheart, why do I get the feeling that Xia Xiyan seems so confident? Are you sure Master Ou has really lost his memory and doesn’t recognize her anymore? I’m starting to feel like maybe it’s not true..."
"I’m sure! My friend from the hospital told me personally, and besides, Ou Jue is in Los Angeles right now. He won’t be coming back anytime soon—it can’t be wrong." Xia Shiyi rubbed her arm, gritting her teeth viciously. "One day, I’ll make Xia Xiyan pay. I swear I’ll laugh while watching her cry in despair!"
A flicker of malice flashed in Yang Shurong’s eyes. "That bitch Xia Xiyan... She used to suffer in silence, and now she’s learned to bite? Infuriating! If I’d known five years ago, I would’ve poisoned Xia Xiyan’s mother instead of just pushing her off the building."
"Mom..." Xia Shiyi stared at Yang Shurong in disbelief. "Xia Xiyan’s mother didn’t commit suicide by jumping off the building?"
Yang Shurong tapped Xia Shiyi’s forehead with her finger. "Silly girl, when will you start using your brain more, like your mom? If I hadn’t acted back then, would the two of us have the good life we enjoy now? Would you have become a superstar? Would Master Ou even spare you a second glance?"
"Oh, true." Xia Shiyi grinned. "Now that you put it that way, everything that happened was Xia Xiyan’s mother’s own fault!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. No one can ever know about this..."
The pair of mother and daughter slowly walked away.
Inside the hospital room.
Xiyan turned to glance at the figure of her mother lying on the hospital bed.
She had never felt so isolated and helpless as she did at this moment.

It had to be said that Xia Shiyi’s agency was excellent at handling public relations.
That evening, news broke of Xia Shiyi secretly meeting with a mysterious man late at night. Not long after, someone vaguely hinted that the man might very well be Ou Jue of DT Group.
Ou Jue rarely appeared in public, but his name was practically legendary!
Young, handsome, discreet, and impossibly wealthy.
These were the descriptors floating around the internet, synonymous with Ou Jue.
The comment section under the news article exploded, flooded with posts from Xia Shiyi’s hired army of online supporters trying hard to steer public opinion.
[At first, I thought Goddess Shiyi was being taken advantage of by some pig, but it turns out it’s Ou Jue—holy shit!]
[Ou Jue, the youngest domineering CEO in history—ahhh! If he’s really dating Xia Shiyi, I’m instantly imagining this as a prime-time idol drama...]
[People who bash Xia Shiyi must have rocks in their heads. Hello? It’s a perfect match; they’re both talented and gorgeous. What’s wrong with dating? Late-night meetups? Are you stuck in the 1980s with your outdated views? Clearly, you’re just jealous!]
[Ahhh, nope, don’t care, I’m totally rooting for this pairing! I’ll ship this couple forever!]
Xiyan returned home, her expression cold as she scrolled through comments supporting Xia Shiyi and Ou Jue’s relationship...
Ha, absolutely infuriating!
Ou Jue, that bastard—why is his phone still unreachable!
Xiyan exited the news app and collapsed onto her bed.
Could it be that Ou Jue... is deliberately avoiding me?
The next second, her phone suddenly rang with an urgent ringtone.
