"That's not what I meant. Didn't I already apologize to Jia Cheng?"
He Xing laughed in exasperation, "Are you saying that what you did on the street yesterday counts as an apology to Jia Cheng?"
"I let her beat me so badly, aren't you still angry?"
"..." He Xing, "You deserve it!"
He Xing angrily hung up the phone.
This was the first time Lao He had ever been hung up on by He Xing. Even when they broke up, He Xing had never been this angry with him.
Did I really do something wrong?
Old He really didn't understand.
Jia Cheng knew his mother had always been like this, so why was she suddenly angry?
Besides, when he left, he asked the people in the same ward to help take care of him for a while, and he also told the nurses that even if his mother didn't go to the hospital, the child would still be taken care of.
"How did it come to the point of withdrawing investment?"
Old He felt that Jian Yu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
After much thought, Lao He decided to go to Jia Cheng and ask her to intercede on his behalf.
When they arrived at the hospital, the nurse told him that the child had been transferred to another hospital.
"Transfer to another hospital? Why?"
The nurse glared at him, annoyed. "The child's mother suddenly went into convulsive shock last night. The children's hospital has limited experience, so the adult was rushed to the First Hospital to see a specialist. The child insisted on going with her, and since they didn't have any other family members with them, they had no choice but to go together."
Old He's face turned pale instantly. "Why did the spasms occur?"
The nurse shouted, "Too much emotional stimulation!"
Old He seemed to have been punched, and could no longer speak.
how so?
Just because of what happened yesterday, Jia Cheng got so angry that he suffered a spasm and went into shock?
"Then why weren't I notified?"
"You'll have to leave your hospital's phone number first."
"My number is on Jia Cheng's phone."
"Her phone broke last night."
Did you break it last night?
No wonder he couldn't get through.
Mr. He rushed to the hospital and found his daughter being held by a policeman at the nurses' station.
The daughter had tears on her face, but when she saw him, her expression was very calm.
Old He, "Xiao Bao, how's your mother?"
The police officer asked his daughter, "Is he your father?"
The little girl nodded.
"As long as it's your dad."
Once the family members are found, the police are no longer needed.
Before leaving, the police officer gave Lao He a few words of advice: "Comrade, you're not young anymore. Think more about your family. Your child is sick and hospitalized. How could you go out drinking? You left your child alone, and your wife has to go back and forth between work and the hospital. She's exhausted and sick now."
"..." Old He, "Who told you that?"
The policeman pointed to the doll in his arms, "Your daughter."
Old He, “…”
He lowered his head and said, "Xiaobao, Daddy went out to discuss work yesterday, not to go out drinking."
Xiao Bao looked up and said, "You've been drinking. You smell strongly of alcohol."
Old He sniffed his sleeve and could indeed smell a trace of alcohol.
"This was from yesterday after we finished discussing work, when I had a drink with my colleagues."
"But you still ended up drinking."
Xiao Bao's words left Lao He speechless.
The policeman chuckled to himself, "The young lady is right. By the way, you smell strongly of alcohol. You didn't drive under the influence, did you?"
Old He quickly shook his head, "No, I came by ride-hailing service."
"Okay, that's good."
The policeman patted Xiaobao on the head and said, "Little girl, remember to come to your uncle if you have any trouble."
Xiao Bao nodded, "Thank you, police officer."
The nurse placed a bill book in front of Lao He, saying, "This is Jia Cheng's bill. Go and pay it!"
Old He took it and asked, "How is Jia Cheng?"
"He's out of danger, but he'll need to be observed in the ICU for two more days."
Old He breathed a heavy sigh of relief, relieved that he was out of danger.
Holding the bill and carrying the child, I went to the self-service machine to pay.
The nurse watched him from behind and rolled her eyes several times.
Hu Xiu came to visit the patient and happened to see this scene. Out of curiosity, he went over to inquire.
The nurse said, "This man's wife and child were transferred here from the children's hospital last night. His wife is still in the ICU, but he just arrived. His child is staying at the children's hospital and he was asked to look after him, but he abandoned his sick child and went out drinking with people. His mother went to find her father and got sick from his anger."
Hu Xiu, "He didn't go back to the hospital to see the child all night?"
The nurse said, "If he were in the hospital, why would he only be coming now?"
Hu Xiu pursed his lips and left.
When Hu Xiu met Jian Yu at the movie theater that evening, the first thing he did was gossip, "You guys don't know, that nurse's eyes were full of poison when she looked at Lao He."
Jian Yu asked, "Where did Lao He go last night?"
Hu Xiu, "He told the police he went home drunk."
Lin Beichen, "He didn't go to his mother's house, nor did he go to the hospital?"
Hu Xiu nodded. "That's what the nurse told me."
"Alright." Lin Beichen said, "No wonder this person has been unemployed at home for so many years because he is so clueless about social etiquette."
Hu Xiu was "too arrogant and conceited."
Lin Beichen agreed with Hu Xiu's comments, just as he himself didn't like social interactions, but he had to bite the bullet and make some compromises.
Jian Yu hadn't expected that Lao He, at such an advanced age, would still be an idealist.
I initially thought he was just unsuccessful, but I didn't expect that he also had serious personality problems.
When his wife asked for a divorce, he actually thought it was just something she said in anger.
Even when his child is sick and hospitalized, he can still run home and go straight to sleep.
His mother refused to help take care of the sick child and posted provocative messages on social media, but he didn't take it to heart.
It's as if he doesn't care about anything except his movies.
I noticed my phone vibrating.
Jian Yu took it out and saw that it was a call from Qing Tian.
Did Lao He go to find Qing Tian?
"Hello?"
After exchanging a few polite words with Jian Yu, Qing Tian got straight to the point: "What do you think of Director He's movie? When are you going to invest?"
Jian Yu was also very direct: "I don't want to invest in him anymore."
"Why? His movies are great! He's someone who would give everything for art."
“I admire his spirit of dedicating everything to art, but one should not put one’s family behind one’s art.”
"Family? Director He and his wife have a very good relationship! His wife is very supportive of his ideals."
It's because of this excessive support that Director He, at his age, still doesn't know how to be a husband and a father.
Jianyu briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
Qingtian was shocked, "A fight in the street?"
"That's not all."
Jian Yu then recounted what had happened at the First Hospital that morning.
Qingtian was still trying to cover for him, saying, "Director He must have gone to ask his mother why she posted on WeChat Moments alone last night, which is why he wasn't with his child."
He told the police that he went straight home to sleep.
"......"
That's incredibly irresponsible.
However, Qing Tian couldn't tell the truth to the public. "This is Director He's private life. As long as it doesn't affect his work, it's fine. His films are art. I think it would be a great pity not to have him as a director."
Jian Yu remained silent.
Sunny is speechless. What's the big deal? It's gotten to the point of abandoning the cooperation?
Why are they all so stubborn?
