Under the protection of the bodyguards, Ou Ming quickly left the airport. He remained silent the entire time. He got in his car and quickly drove away.
The news that Ou Ming had returned exploded in the network. Chinese netizens rushed to view the stories on the microblog. All kinds of news about him became the top search.
On the microblog hot search list, the t.i.tle of the first one was striking, “Young Master of Ou Group returns home before the Chinese New Year and visits his ‘former’ fiancée.”
Many people made comments on that news. They all cursed Ou Ming.
“What have you done? You’ve run away from the wedding for a mistress. Now that your fiancée has attempted suicide, you have come back to pretend to be a good man. Pooh!”
“A b.i.t.c.h and a dog go together forever!”
“Shen Manting has waited for you four years. You are really blind because you have abandoned her. You will never find as good of a woman as her.”
“From now on, boycott all products from Ou Group and its subordinates, including TT!”
The harsh words were not only on the Internet. There were even going around the Ou Family. Qiao Ziqing’s friends and neighbors had condemned the Ou Family.
On his way home, Ou Ming read a lot of the news. He felt vexed. At the same time, it confirmed that he had made the right decision. If he had let Yu Lili return with him, things would be even more complicated.
His first stop was to the hospital to see Shen Manting. Outside of it hospital, reporters had been standing around waiting for his arrival. When they saw his car coming, they rushed over and shoved microphones in front of him, asking a series of sensitive and trenchant questions.
“Mr. Ou Ming, are you coming to confess?”
“Mr. Ou Ming, why have you run away from the wedding? I heard that it was because of a mistress that has been staying with you for many years. Is that true?”
“Mr. Ou Ming, I heard that Miss Shen is still unconscious in the hospital, and it’s hard to tell whether she will be alive or not. Will you feel guilty?”
“Mr. Ou Ming, what do you plan to do next? Do you want to end your relations.h.i.+p with Miss Shen completely this time?”
The bodyguards cleared the way for Ou Ming, who wore black sungla.s.ses and kept silent. He had no expression on his face. After entering the hospital, the bodyguards led him to the VIP ward where Shen Manting was staying. Halfway to her room, he met someone who was out of expectation but within understanding.
Shen Luo’an was wearing a creamy white and long wind coat, black trousers, and white s.h.i.+rt. It looked a little light for winter. He looked exhausted and had some black stubble on his gentle and handsome face. When he saw Ou Ming, he was a little surprised.
The two men stood in the hallway and stopped, looking at each other.
Ou Ming took off his sungla.s.ses and glanced at Shen Luo’an with anger in his eyes. “Let’s have a talk.”
It was not a question but an order.
Shen Luo’an recognized the unhappiness in Ou Ming’s tone. He smiled and nodded. “Let’s go.”
They went to the hospital’s rooftop. There was no wind, and it was sunny. However, the air was still very cold.
Ou Ming stared at Shen Luo’an and said, “It’s impossible for Shen Manting to attempt suicide just because I have run away from the wedding. What have you told her?”
Shen Luo’an smiled and raised his eyebrows. “You are wrong. She has attempted suicide because she couldn’t bear the public opinion and psychological pressure. Do you think you know her so well?”
Actually, Ou Ming did not, but Shen Luo’an didn’t understand her at all.
