When are you bringing the child back?
He Lingchuan's tone was serious; he was worried that Zhou Mingyan would continue to feed the child junk food.
"Once you calm down, I will consider whether or not to send the child back to you."
The two children clung to Shen Yanxi's legs, urging, "Mommy, let's not stay with this madwoman."
"Mom, let's go quickly, I want Dad Zhou."
madman?
He Lingchuan's eyes widened. In their eyes, was he a madman?
"Is this what you taught them?"
Shen Yanxi paused slightly as she turned around, and gently patted the two children's heads: "They have the ability to discern for themselves. Be more careful when you lose your temper in the future."
He Lingchuan stared intently in the direction they had left, his expression grave.
After not seeing her for several days, He Lingchuan finally couldn't help but call Shen Yanxi.
When will you be back?
Looking at the table full of food, He Lingchuan took the initiative to soften his tone: "I made the dishes that Nan Chen and Bei Chen like to eat, so you can have them tonight..."
"Mingyan twisted his ankle and is currently hospitalized."
Shen Yanxi interrupted him, without saying when she would be back, but judging from her words, she probably didn't plan to go home anytime soon.
“I can help take care of it.”
He Lingchuan took the initiative to say, "He took care of me when I was sick last time. Logically speaking, I should repay this favor."
"you?"
Shen Yanxi's voice rose at the end, and even through the phone, one could guess how sarcastic her expression was.
"Are you sure you won't take advantage of Mingyan's vulnerability and harm him?"
Whenever Zhou Mingyan's affairs come up, Shen Yanxi becomes extremely vigilant.
He Lingchuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, his laughter carrying across the phone to the other end: "Let me know if you need anything."
He simply hoped that Zhou Mingyan would recover quickly so that the two children could go home.
Given Zhou Mingyan's personality, he's unlikely to be discharged from the hospital even if he recovers.
He Lingchuan leaned against the window, thinking about how to expose Zhou Mingyan's true colors.
He had a real headache when a series of urgent knocks came at the door.
"Come in."
Upon seeing the person outside the door, Zhou Mingyan paused for a few seconds before reacting: "Zhou Tao, what brings you to me?"
Zhou Tao was his college roommate. After graduation, the people in the dormitory went their separate ways and all achieved success in their respective fields.
Only he returned to his family.
This was the first time he had seen Zhou Tao since graduation.
"To be honest, I'm here today because I need your help."
Zhou Tao was always at the top of his class in school, and he never liked to trouble others.
Even when he brings a bottle of water, he has to say thank you several times.
It seems he was truly desperate and had no other choice.
Why are we being so polite with each other?
He Lingchuan poured himself a glass of water and sat up straight.
"If it's within my power, I'll definitely help you."
Zhou Tao held the water glass with both hands, rubbing his thumbs up and down.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "You, you really married Miss Shen?"
He Lingchuan guessed his purpose for coming, downed his tea in one gulp, and simply replied, "Well, but we..."
"Lingchuan, you have to help me. Only you can help me with this. If our project goes smoothly, I promise to give you 1% of the profits, okay?"
1%? That's a considerable amount, especially considering I wasn't even involved in the project. Zhou Tao's willingness to give me such a large share of the profits shows that he truly had no other choice.
"what are you up to?"
After saying that, He Lingchuan added, "I can only try, as for whether it will succeed..."
"Don't force yourself, just give it a try, but I believe you can definitely help me."
Zhou Tao spoke with great confidence, and after he finished explaining the whole story, He Lingchuan finally understood why he was so sure he could do it.
The difficulties he's facing aren't insignificant, but they're not insignificant either. To put it bluntly, he needs the government's seal, and they're deliberately obstructing them. In reality, it's just a matter of a word from Shen Yanxi.
If this were an ordinary family, it wouldn't be difficult to handle. The key issue is that my current relationship with Shen Yanxi is a bit awkward.
He could only make it clear beforehand: "Wait for my news, but if I can't do it..."
"Don't worry, I understand, I understand."
Zhou Tao's eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he had put a lot of effort into this matter.
He Lingchuan sighed helplessly: "Remember to treat me to a meal."
"must."
...
After seeing Zhou Tao off, He Lingchuan and Shen Yanxi's assistant confirmed her schedule for the day.
"President Shen should still be in the hospital, or should I inform him for you..."
"No need, don't let her know I'm planning to go see her."
If Shen Yanxi found out, she would likely avoid her.
He Lingchuan didn't know why he had such thoughts, but his first reaction was that Shen Yanxi definitely wouldn't help him with this.
He Lingchuan bought the fruit and nutritional supplements, and found Zhou Mingyan's ward according to the information given by his assistant. When he arrived at the door, he stood outside and looked into the room through the glass door. This was no ward; it was a palace, magnificent and resplendent.
It seems that even the hospital room is a luxury suite when you're with Shen Yanxi.
After knocking a few times, He Lingchuan heard Shen Yanxi's smiling voice: "Please come in."
He Lingchuan pushed open the door and entered, the living room coming into view.
The two people inside clearly didn't see them. They were chatting and laughing, especially Shen Yanxi, whose voice was so doting and sweet it was almost sickening.
"You're always trying to make me happy. Do you know how worried I am about you? Don't let yourself get hurt in the future."
He Lingchuan stood in the living room, his expression constantly changing as Shen Yanxi spoke.
He bit his lower lip until he tasted a hint of blood before letting go.
He Lingchuan clenched his fists, suppressing the disappointment and anger in his heart. After a few minutes, he walked through the living room and appeared in front of the two of them without warning.
"Why is it you?"
Shen Yanxi initially thought it was her assistant, but when she saw it was He Lingchuan, her brows furrowed and her eyes were full of displeasure.
"I need to talk to you."
He Lingchuan wanted to find a secluded place to talk to Shen Yanxi alone, but he was worried that she wouldn't give him that chance.
"I haven't stopped your project."
"It's Zhou Tao, you should know him."
According to Zhou Tao, he had tried to contact Shen Yanxi, but the appointments were always pending, and Shen Yanxi was unwilling to see him at all.
"Oh, him? You're asking me for him?"
Shen Yanxi was somewhat surprised. So He Lingchuan had such a friend? Someone who would make him willingly come to beg her.
"So could you..."
Why should I help you?
Shen Yanxi interrupted him, speaking condescendingly: "You haven't apologized to Mingyan yet, and you're already trying to negotiate with me? You think too highly of yourself."
"Apologize?"
He Lingchuan paused for a moment. In the end, it was still about Zhou Mingyan.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
He Lingchuan swallowed hard: "So, if I apologize, you'll help me?"
