Chapter 60 Resignation

Xia Molin couldn't help but laugh and cry as he gently tapped her head with a spoon, "You child..."

Xia Yuxun immediately suggested, "Dad, that's too gentle, you hit too lightly..."

When her father became gentle, it was even scarier than when he got angry. With both bringing her food and speaking kind and gentle words, it almost scared her out of her wits.

"Why would I hit you? The one who really deserves a beating is someone else!" Xia Molin said, annoyed.

"Cough cough... Dad, are those panda eyes on our president's face drawn by you?" Xia Yuxun asked.

"So what if I did it? Who let him bully my daughter!"

"Dad, you're so awesome!" Xia Yuxun said with an adoring face as she threw herself at him, "Dad, I love you..."

Taken aback by Xia Yuxun's sudden show of affection, Xia Molin looked slightly stunned, then showed a tender expression and sighed helplessly, "You girl, you never give me peace of mind. If something happened to you, how would I explain it to your mother!"

Xia Yuxun's expression dimmed, "Mom wouldn't care..."

Xia Molin looked displeased, "What nonsense! How could your mom not care about you!"

Xia Yuxun immediately laughed playfully, "Hehe, it's okay! But I still love Mom! I love her very, very much..."

"Sorry! You can't go in there! Hey hey—stop barging in!"

"If you keep this up, I'm calling security!"

"Sir! Sir..."

...

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the hospital room.

Then several men burst in.

Xia Yuxun looked at those aggressive people, tried hard to recall, and remembered they were the journalists she had chased away after smashing their cameras.

"Miss Xia! This is a summons from the court! We'll see you in court tomorrow! You threatened to assault journalists and destroyed photographic equipment, I will use legal means to seek justice for my profession!"

The tall journalist leading them threw the summons onto Xia Yuxun's bed with a vicious look.

"Let's go!"

The group came in a mighty throng and left just as mightily.

Xia Yuxun clenched the summons in her hand.

"Yuxun... what exactly is going on here?" Xia Molin asked, worried.

"Dad, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"You didn't come home all night yesterday, and today I get news that you were critically ill and nearly dead. I'm always the last to know everything. Yuxun! Do you even consider me your father?"

This time, Xia Molin was truly upset.

A hint of determination flashed in Xia Yuxun's eyes, "Dad, please stop, I promise, this is the last time... really the last time..."

-

Leng Group, President's Office.

"Brother, this matter can actually be easily resolved. Those people are just after money! But, there's one journalist who refuses to take the money and insists on Xiaoxun's dismissal, otherwise he won't let it go," Leng Siche paced back and forth anxiously.

Leng Sichen looked somewhat distracted, his mind preoccupied with what Nangong Lin had said earlier.

Marry her and protect her, or drive her far away. Do not linger in ambivalence! Otherwise, either she'll be ruined by you or you by her...

After a while, Leng Sichen finally spoke, "Then let it be so! Pay off the others to drop their lawsuits, and... dismiss Xia Yuxun."

Leng Siche looked at him in disbelief, "Brother! How can you do this? It's so unfair to Xiaoxun! Don't you know, if it weren't for Xiaoxun holding things steady this time, if those photos had been taken and released, the entire Leng Group would have taken a massive hit, including yourself being discredited!"

Leng Sichen leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, "Siche, I've made up my mind."

Just as Leng Siche was about to speak, a knock on the door sounded, and Annie walked in.

"President..."

"What is it?"

"This..." Annie handed over a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Leng Sichen was puzzled.

"It's Xia Xia's resignation letter. I went to the hospital to see her, and she asked me to bring it over," Annie replied, tremblingly.
