He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised, and he and Zhou Mingyan looked in the direction of Shen Yanxi.

She walked up to the teacher, patted her shoulder, and gently comforted her, "It's just money, isn't it? It's not like our Shen family is short of money."

Xiaofeng's mother's face immediately darkened, but she remained defiant: "That's tens of millions, are you sure you can come up with that?"

"I can."

Shen Yanxi raised her head with neither arrogance nor servility and met her gaze: "Just a few tens of millions."

Xiaofeng's mother looked Shen Yanxi up and down, as if she had just recognized her. She warned her fiercely, "Fine, fine, you're so rich. I think you might as well take over the investment in their school. With so much money, you probably don't need our Jiang family's investment."

She tilted her head back, her eyes full of threat: "I think I need to reconsider whether our cooperation should continue."

After she left with Xiaofeng, Zhou Mingyan looked at Shen Yanxi with some panic: "She will definitely withdraw her investment after she goes back."

Zhou Mingyan blamed all the mistakes on He Lingchuan: "It's all your fault. You insisted on making Xiaofeng drop out of school. Do you know how much damage your actions will cause to the Shen family?"

He Lingchuan was examining Nan Chen's injuries, afraid of missing any part, and asked without turning his head, "How much damage did you suffer?"

He hasn't been to the company recently and doesn't know what new projects the Shen family has been discussing.

He Lingchuan's nonchalant attitude completely enraged Zhou Mingyan.

His mind was filled with images of Shen Yanxi standing up for him. If it were him, would Shen Yanxi do the same?

He was insanely jealous. Even though Shen Yanxi had returned to his side, he felt like he had never truly possessed her.

His face turned pale, and he vented all his anger on He Lingchuan: "At least two hundred million."

The Shen family has recently been negotiating a new AI project with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has already agreed to invest.

They had prepared the venue and equipment; everything was ready except for the final push.

The Jiang family's funds were about to be transferred, but after their disturbance, the Jiang family will definitely terminate the cooperation.

They lost at least 200 million yuan for nothing.

This is only the initial investment. If Shen Yanxi cannot make up for Jiang's portion of the funds, they will only lose more.

This project will also be completely canceled.

He Lingchuan looked up at Shen Yanxi and keenly noticed the helplessness in her eyes.

He asked softly, "Is what Zhou Mingyan said true?"

A few minutes later, he finally received Shen Yanxi's reply: "Yes."

Shen Yanxi paused for a moment, and before he could speak, she said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to fill this gap myself."

The teacher standing nearby overheard their conversation and asked her with some concern, "Ms. Shen, you've suffered such a huge loss, are you still willing to invest in our school?"

Zhou Mingyan's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but get angry with her: "What time is it, and you're still thinking about your school? We don't even know how to fill the deficit ourselves."

The female teacher was startled by Zhou Mingyan. She pouted, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yanxi touched her shoulder with a touch of heartache: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Zhou Mingyan was so angry he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but remind Shen Yanxi, "Xixi, stop worrying about this. The company is already..."

“Mingyan, it was my fault that the school lost an investor, and I should have been the one to fill that gap.”

He Lingchuan stood aside, his eyes full of confusion.

He walked up to Shen Yanxi and murmured, "Why?"

Shen Yanxi, confused, tilted her head to look at him.

He Lingchuan repeated, "Why are you doing this? Are you trying to help me?"

Shen Yanxi had absolutely no reason to invest in the school, and Xiaofeng's expulsion had nothing to do with her; it was clearly just her insistence on her own opinion.

Even if we really have to close this gap, we should do it ourselves.

He Lingchuan raised his head. He didn't want to think too much about it, but Shen Yanxi's actions and words today made him think that she still had feelings for him.

He Lingchuan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He forced himself to calm down and tried to ask Shen Yanxi in a calm tone, "You did this because..."

"Of course I'm doing this for the children."

Shen Yanxi interrupted him, her brows furrowed: "You don't think I did this for you, do you?"

He Lingchuan paused as he took a step forward, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Of course not."

He must have been out of his mind to think that Shen Yanxi had come to his rescue. He slapped his head and cursed himself for being too naive.

He picked up Nan Chen and offered to share the burden: "The school's shortfall shouldn't be borne by you alone. I will pay half of the cost."

Shen Yanxi thought she had misheard, and she couldn't help but laugh: "You'll pay? Where would you get the money?"

She looked He Lingchuan up and down: "After being with me for so many years, do you think I don't know how much money you have? Do you know how much we investors give to the school every year? At least 20 million, which means you have to come up with at least 10 million."

In front of so many people at the hospital, Shen Yanxi mocked He Lingchuan: "You'll never earn that in your entire life."

Zhou Mingyan noticed that Shen Yanxi's attitude towards He Lingchuan was still cold, so he fanned the flames from the side: "Xixi, since he wants to pay, let him pay. Maybe he's been secretly saving money while he was with you. I remember you told me before that you kept losing jewelry for a while, maybe he took it."

Lost jewelry?

Upon hearing these three words, He Lingchuan suddenly recalled what happened on their first wedding anniversary.

Shen Yanxi said he lost his gold necklace. This happened a year after they got married. When did they get in touch?

He Lingchuan raised an eyebrow: "You two have been together without telling me all along?"

He stared at Shen Yanxi in disbelief. For a moment, he even doubted whether Nan Chen and Bei Chen were his children.

He Lingchuan's gaze swept over the two children, looking at their faces that were becoming more and more like his own, and suppressed the questions in his heart.

Shen Yanxi saw through his thoughts and slapped He Lingchuan across the face.

The crisp sound attracted the attention of those around them, and He Lingchuan was even more confused: "What are you doing?"

“He Lingchuan, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You don’t want these two children, but there are plenty of other people who do.”

Shen Yanxi took Zhou Mingyan's arm, looked up at him triumphantly, and said, "I believe Mingyan will be a good father."

He Lingchuan's gaze fell on their clasped hands, and he coldly replied, "Crazy."

He held the two children in his arms, turned around and left, completely ignoring the people behind him.
