After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 355 - 355: The End, A Duel Between Top Stars! (1)

He was convinced that her involvement was a key factor in his son’s current condition.

Contrary to the internet’s portrayal of Si Fuqing as a lucky koi fish, he saw her as nothing short of a jinx.

Ever since she left the Zuo family, they had not known a day of peace.

“She, she is…” Zuo Zonghe’s expression was frantic as he clutched at his father’s shoulders, his eyes wide with fear, “ghost, ghost…”

“Ghost?” Zuo Tianfeng laughed derisively. “Don’t tell me you were scared into this state by her pretending to be a ghost.”

The mere recollection of something terrifying twisted Zuo Zonghe’s expression grotesquely, his breathing becoming labored.

Struggling violently, he suddenly lost consciousness.

“Doctor! Doctor!” Zuo Tianfeng panicked, pressing the emergency button.

“What’s wrong with my son?”

The doctor, having barely rested, hurriedly returned and transferred Zuo Zonghe to the ICU.

The surgery was brief, lasting only about fifteen minutes.

When the doctor emerged, Zuo Tianfeng approached anxiously. “How is my son?”

The doctor sighed deeply, “Please prepare yourself, Mr. Zuo. We did our best.”

Zuo Tianfeng’s body swayed. “What do you mean? He was just fine a moment ago, talking to me!”

“He’s alive, but he’s become a vegetative patient,” the doctor explained gently.

“He was terrified by something, leading to damage in parts of his brain.”

“We managed to preserve his life, otherwise, it could have been worse than being in a vegetative state.”

The worst-case scenario was brain death.

Zuo Tianfeng’s complexion turned ashen. He staggered back, collapsing to the floor. “A vegetative state?”

His only son had become vegetative. How was this different from being childless?

“You might want to reflect on what you said earlier that might have upset the patient,” the doctor suggested, shaking his head. “He was extremely fearful and unwilling to recall the event.”

Zuo Tianfeng frowned.

What could have triggered such a reaction?

They had only discussed Si Fuqing, and it was Zuo Zonghe who brought her up.

“Thank you for your efforts,” Zuo Tianfeng managed a weak smile. “Please ensure my son receives the best treatment.”

Vegetative patients could sometimes recover.

The doctor hesitated, then replied, “We’ll do our best.”

Descending the stairs, Zuo Tianfeng saw Zuo Xianyu waiting in the lobby.

When Zuo Xianyu saw her dad, she rose up, “Dad, big brother-”

“Slap!”

Zuo Tianfeng, in a fit of rage, struck her hard across the face.

The force twisted her head to the side.

She touched her face in disbelief. “Dad?”

Zuo Tianfeng had never hit her before.

“If it weren’t for your bad advice to your brother, would he be in this condition now?!” he accused bitterly. “I told you to rest at home, so why stir up trouble?”

“Are you happy now? Your big brother is vegetative, your little sister is in jail, and you’re all that’s left. The Zuo family is in the midst of a public scandal. Satisfied?”

“Dad, that wasn’t my intention,” Zuo Xianyu inhaled deeply. “I called my brother to confirm everything was smooth before sending the reporters.”

“Smooth?” Zuo Tianfeng slapped her again. “You still dare to say it went smoothly? Get out! I can’t bear to look at you.”

He left without looking back, leaving Zuo Xianyu clenching her fists.

Despite her contributions to the Zuo Corporation, she was still overshadowed by her do-nothing brother.

Was gender that important?

And now, she was blamed for her brother’s misfortune, caused by his incompetence.

Holding her bag, Zuo Xianyu left the hospital under the scrutiny of onlookers.

At ten in the evening, the day’s recording ended.

After freshening up, Si Fuqing retreated to her cabin and received a message from Jiang Changning.

[Jiang Changning]: My dad has been dancing all day.

Si Fuqing replied with a question mark.

[Jiang Changning]: Because of those three herbs you gave him. He’s so excited that he won’t stop even when my mom asks him to.

Si Fuqing:

No wonder Jiang Changfeng didn’t take more. He probably feared his father might faint from overexcitement.

[Jiang Changning]: I also saw the news. The Zuo family’s eldest son has become vegetative. He wanted to harm you, and now he’s got his comeuppance..
