The next morning, Ning Wan walked out of the bedroom, supporting her back.

The result of yelling too much last night is that my back can't take it.

Fortunately, Ning Yanshu has been staying at Shen Yurong's house recently, otherwise she would have had a hard time explaining the current situation.

Perhaps it was the indulgence and release of the previous night that made Chenfu sleep so soundly.

Ning Wan, however, was used to her daily biological clock and woke up early.

She tiptoed out of the room, went to the living room, and dialed Yi Yue's number. The call was answered after only a few seconds of ringing.

Yi Yue's voice sounded tired, but she still mustered her energy and said cheerfully, "Wanwan! Good morning!"

"Good morning." After greeting him, Ning Wan got straight to the point: "Are you busy right now? There's something I want to ask you..."

"No, no, Wanwan, you tell me."

"Is there something wrong with Aman's company?" Ning Wan asked, then explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just saw that you and Aman have been very busy lately, and I was a little worried, so I..."

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

Yi Yue was not surprised by Ning Wan's question.

Shen Fu was determined to marry into Ning Wan's family, so let alone inquire about the company's situation, even if he were to give the entire Shenhao Group to Ning Wan, Shen Fu would have to start planning what documents he would need to prepare.

Shen Fu had no secrets to hide, and he never concealed anything from Ning Wan.

So Yi Yue honestly replied, "Actually, it's not a company matter. It's a problem with the construction site in the south of the city that we're cooperating with Lu's..."

...

Construction at the site was once forced to halt due to persistent malicious obstruction from government departments.

Construction has clearly begun, but the project has made no progress.

Every day, they wake up to tens of thousands of yuan in fixed expenses. If this continues, the investors will be the first to be unable to bear it.

Many investors have demanded to withdraw their investments.

Even though a contract had been signed in advance, the investors turned around and accused Seng Fu of failing to do proper government relations and file a report beforehand, which caused the project to stall.

The fault lies with Shen Fu, who also failed to fulfill the contract.

Investors naturally chose to refuse to pay compensation as stipulated in the contract.

Even if Shen Fu were to sue them in court, it would still require a significant amount of manpower, resources, and time.

The sudden withdrawal of funds by a large number of investors left the construction site with a huge deficit.

In the past few days, Shen Fu has not only been busy running around to smooth things over with the government and contacting other investors, but also has to fill the funding gap as soon as possible.

Furthermore, with Lu Chen away from the country, Shen Fu had to handle many things personally...

...

"In the end, it all comes down to the money not being paid enough." In front of Ning Wan, Yi Yue spoke without any reservations: "Those officials, aren't they just trying to squeeze more benefits out of themselves? Trying to take so much at once, aren't they afraid of stuffing themselves to death?"

"How much more money is needed to cover the funding gap?" Ning Wan asked.

Yi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Probably a few million, and that's just for the recent period. The longer the project drags on, the worse it will be for us."

In terms of government relations, Ning Wan didn't know anyone except Zheng Nan and Lin Guihua.

However, she still had some spare cash.

Excluding the initial 1 million yuan given to her by Ning You and Lu Chen, and adding the money Ning Wan earned herself over the past year, she has approximately 1.3 million yuan.

So when Shen Fu woke up at noon, a bank card appeared in front of him.

“I know this money is far from enough, but it’s all I can offer,” Ning Wan said. “I hope it can help you and ease some of your burden.”

Shen Fu stared blankly at the bank card and replied, "Am I finally going to be kept by Wanwan?"

Ning Wan chuckled, amused: "To keep you as a sugar daddy, only 1 million? That's so cheap?"

Shen Fu shook his head and said seriously, "If Wanwan were to take care of me, it would only cost 1 yuan."

A smile flickered in Ning Wan's eyes.

Without a word, she shoved the card into Chen Fu's hand: "Take it, consider it my investment. Remember to share some of the profits with me later."

Shen Fu suddenly moved closer to Ning Wan, cupped her face, and kissed her.

The movements were so gentle, as if they were just a light touch, but the pressure on the lips gradually increased.

Ning Wan's head was spinning, and she stopped Shen Fu's hand just as it was about to land on her chest: "That's enough, we've already done it so many times last night, I'm tired."

"Can you get tired just lying down?" Shen Fu asked, sounding somewhat innocent.

Ning Wan quickly covered his mouth: "You're not allowed to say anything lewd."

Shen Fu couldn't speak, so he could only obediently nod.

Ning Wan, still worried, instructed him, "Take the money out of the card and use it. Don't worry about who's who or what. Buy what you need, and look for connections if you need to. Also, don't forget to settle the workers' wages on time every day; it's not easy for them to earn money."

Shen Fu nodded obediently again.

"And one last and most important point," Ning Wan said softly, her voice rising slightly, "You must remember that we are family. So no matter what happens, Xiao Shu and I will always be waiting for you at home."

Shen Fu's heart was deeply moved.

He grasped Ning Wan's hand, their fingers intertwined: "Okay."...

...

When Ning Yanshu and Shen Xu returned to kindergarten, a week had passed since Li Hongxia's funeral.

During this time, Ning Wan took Shen Xu to see the doctor he had previously treated.

Doctors say that autism is not simply a mental illness, but more often a developmental disorder related to mental health.

This type of person is slow to react to the outside world and rarely perceives the emotions of normal people.

But when a loved one passes away, the blow can be devastating.

At times like these, the companionship and care of family members are often even more needed.

With the patient's consent, actively encourage them to leave their room and engage in outdoor activities. Increase their interaction with the outside world and enhance their perception of it.

So, after being persuaded by Ning Wan and Ning Yanshu, Shen Xu finally agreed to return to school a week later.

On the day he returned to school, Teacher Youzi, together with all the children in the Sunflower Class, held a grand welcome ceremony for Shen Xu. But Shen Xu's reaction was somewhat indifferent.

Ning Yanshu explained Shen Xu's condition to everyone, awkwardly introducing the terms he couldn't understand at all.

Tang Tang said warmly, "It's okay! It's just an illness. Take your medicine properly, and you'll definitely get better."

“Yes,” Wang Zihao chimed in, “No matter what happens, we’ll always be good friends!”

"But aren't you and Shen Xu rivals in love?" Long Aotian suddenly interjected.

Upon realizing he had made a blunder, Wang Zihao was extremely embarrassed: "You're so noisy!"

Amidst the laughter of the children around him, Wang Zihao's cheeks turned increasingly red.

Shen Xu stared blankly at the joyful scene before him.

An unknown emotion quietly spread in my heart.
