These three children had grown up too fast.
Ever since they learned what had happened to them over the years, they had never defied her or thrown tantrums, sparing her the typical worries of motherhood.
She wondered if this was good or bad for both her and them.
The peculiar conversation between mother and sons caught the assistant's attention. "Save the CEO"? Besides the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, who else could heal the CEO's eyes?
This mother and son pair... they were truly shrouded in mystery.
Recalling the information the CEO had investigated, a thought also surfaced in the assistant's mind.
However, he couldn't gamble with the CEO's life. Before contacting the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, he couldn't act rashly.
"Miss Shi, this is a secret of the Sheng family. I presume you know what to do."
The assistant stepped forward with a serious expression.
"Rest assured, all information regarding your company is within the scope of our contract. We will not disclose your company's privacy."
"Mr. Sheng doesn't need to worry himself sick over this, does he?"
Shi Xinxin's gaze suddenly shifted to the unconscious Sheng Chenjin beside them.
The assistant's gaze followed Shi Xinxin's to the unresponsive CEO.
"Ms. Shi, Mr. Sheng is currently unconscious."
"I've heard that Ms. Shi self-taught medicine at a young age, achieving mastery quickly and forging many good connections. I wonder if Ms. Shi has any news of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor."
The assistant was probing.
After all, there was always a chance, and he had to seize it. He knew better than anyone how the CEO had managed these past years.
It was precisely because he cared so deeply, coupled with their years of tacit understanding, that he disregarded company regulations.
"Don't worry, my eyes aren't at a point where they'll take my life just yet."
Sheng Chenjin suddenly spoke, his voice calm, as if his previous unconsciousness had been nothing more than a charade.
"CEO..."
The assistant wanted to say more, but the unspeakable authority emanating from beneath the bandages seemed to press down on him.
The assistant wisely closed his mouth.
"Mr. Sheng has also rested enough. Enduring the pain in his eyes until now, he's quite resilient."
Shi Xinxin's voice was flat, but her few words struck a crucial point.
The children's eyes lit up at her words.
Their new father could be saved!
Sheng Chenjin, upon hearing this, realized something was amiss, even if he were foolish.
Even the physician he had hired at great expense couldn't fathom the depth of pain accompanying his eye condition, yet she had diagnosed it in mere moments.
And she hadn't even been close to him.
"Miss Shi, are you confident?" Sheng Chenjin, not wanting his suspicion to be baseless, tentatively asked.
"Of course."
Shi Xinxin smiled. Finally, she had met someone intelligent.
She thought her smile was imperceptible, but those who were secretly observing her, like the assistant, noticed it.
He was startled, his expression turning grave.
"This dinner engagement has been ruined by my eyes. Miss Shi, will you have time another time?"
"Within next week."
Shi Xinxin calmly looked at her children, her gaze sweeping over their faces, then back at Sheng Chenjin, a peculiar feeling stirring in her heart.
A debt of gratitude would eventually have to be repaid.
Sheng Chenjin thought helplessly.
"Then we won't disturb Mr. Sheng any further." Shi Xinxin nodded in greeting.
Saying this, she led her children in a synchronized movement as they stood up and left the private room without a trace of hesitation.
Sheng Chenjin's eyes followed the group all the way out.
Even his mood lightened somewhat.
These children were truly remarkable, intelligent, and knew to show kindness at crucial moments.
Most importantly, Shi Xinxin, formerly Su Luo, appeared to have put great effort into their upbringing.
The debt of gratitude was truly incurred. Money was certainly not her concern.
Then what was it that she truly desired?
Was it the vast fortune of the Sheng family, or the ambiguous identities of those children?
Sheng Chenjin was unsure. No matter how he speculated, he couldn't fathom the truth.
After sensing that the group had completely left the floor,
He could no longer hold back. His slender fingers tightly gripped the side of the private room's sofa, his knuckles turning white. He slumped down, exhausted, as if he could no longer endure the bone-gnawing pain in his eyes.
He had never even considered having his so-called "window to the soul" fully restored.
In the past, he might have held a sliver of hope for treatment and healing.
Now, none of that mattered. Habits, indeed, could become second nature.
"CEO, you don't know, but Miss Shi smiled when she agreed to your request just now."
"Hm?"
"You can't see. I'm worried Miss Shi might have some..."
"Trust your people, or don't employ them. Don't you understand this principle?"
"My apologies, I was overthinking."
The assistant looked apologetic, but noticed the CEO didn't seem particularly angry.
Alas...
"Is tomorrow Monday?"
Before the assistant could finish sighing, he was suddenly asked this question by Sheng Chenjin.
The assistant nodded dazedly, then, realizing Sheng Chenjin probably couldn't see, quickly said, "Yes."
"Then tomorrow, go to Ms. Shi's place and wait. Find a time to invite her to the Sheng residence. Since we are asking for a favor, clean up the house and make the arrangements clearly. Treat guests with strictness."
Sheng Chenjin realized he had been too busy earlier to ask for Shi Xinxin's contact information. However, her phone number was on the contract.
She was someone who was not particularly significant in his business dealings, yet he was unknowingly employing the most distinguished hospitality methods of his household for her.
Perhaps it was the appearance of those children that had deeply impressed him.
The assistant knew he couldn't object and took his orders to prepare.
After dinner, Sheng Chenjin thought it best to give her a heads-up.
At this point, Mr. Sheng seemed to have completely forgotten his status.
The phone rang, and the call went to voicemail.
"Hello."
Finally connected, Sheng Chenjin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Miss Shi, I wonder if you have time tomorrow. Tomorrow is Monday."
Shi Xinxin was surprised that the renowned Sheng Chenjin would personally call her instead of having his assistant inform her.
She had been planning to free up time this week to be on standby.
To think he was so impatient that he came knocking himself. Hearing him say "Tomorrow is Monday," she couldn't help but smirk. Was he that desperate for eye treatment?
Her own little ones were worrying about her.
"Mommy, my system shows that people from the Sheng family are already waiting near the company."
Shi Xiaoyu said coldly, holding his small laptop.
This childish voice also traveled through the air to the other end of the phone.
The atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat cold.
Shi Xinxin narrowed her eyes. Knowing him, this boy had surely done it on purpose.
However, this didn't stop Shi Xinxin from adopting a spectator's stance, eagerly anticipating the other party's reaction.
But...
Sheng Chenjin was still in shock. This child, still in kindergarten, knew such advanced technology?
He himself hadn't encountered such things until around the age of ten.
This boy was not simple.
