Director He tried to push the person up, but the person had a child on their back who was crying loudly.
Director He was afraid of using too much force and accidentally hurting the child, so he didn't dare to make a move at all.
The producer, clutching his sprained ankle, half-squatted on the ground, stammering, "This...this..."
Their companions were also at a loss.
It was only after a large crowd of onlookers gathered that the producer, fearing negative public opinion, had them physically pull the people away.
After Director He stood up, he said, "Let's get in the car first."
Director He's wife yelled, "You still know how shameful you are? How could you do something so shameful?"
The producer was furious. "Are you out of your mind? We're all here discussing business, what's wrong with you coming up here like this?"
Director He's wife said, "Why can't we discuss business a couple of days later? Why do you have to leave the child alone in the hospital?"
Leaving your child alone in the hospital?
What do you mean by that?
Director He, "The child was asleep when I left, and I still..."
Director He's wife sneered, "You think you can leave just because the child is asleep? You completely disregarded the fact that I'm an hour's drive from the hospital, and that the child is crying alone there. Ha! If you had brought the child here to discuss business, I wouldn't have said anything. But you left a child with a high fever alone in the hospital just for your so-called official business? For so many years, you've stayed home idle, leaving me to shoulder the entire responsibility of supporting the family. I've been running around taking care of everything without a single complaint. This morning, my boss called me, and I handed the child over to you, and the next thing you knew, you'd abandoned her and run off. Are you even human?"
Director He: "No, I told my mom. She lives nearby, so I asked her to go and keep an eye on things."
"Your mother?"
Director He's wife laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, "Your mother didn't even show up. If the hospital hadn't called me and I hadn't rushed back, the child would have cried himself to death."
Director He's expression changed.
The wife sneered again, "Don't you know what kind of person your mother is? If she had helped us out all these years, our family wouldn't be in such dire straits."
Director He said, "I didn't know my mom didn't go."
"You don't know? You really don't know, or are you pretending not to know? When has your mother ever helped take care of the children?"
Director He was speechless.
The onlookers' attitude towards Director He's wife also changed.
Aside from the producer, her anger not only didn't subside, but actually intensified.
Good grief, this is a family conflict, is he taking it out on her?
"I'm saying, why are you taking out your family problems on me? My ankle is swollen now, what are you going to do about it?"
Director He's wife turned her head and said, "Old He abandoned his sick child to run out and talk business with his old flame. You say there's nothing going on between you two? Do you think I'd believe you?"
"......"
Ex-lover?
Jian Yu was somewhat surprised that Director He and the producer were actually ex-lovers.
Director He, “…”
The producer said, "Jia Cheng, that's not a good way to put it. Who says you have to be enemies after a breakup? We're all here for work, not to get back together. What's wrong with that?"
Jia Cheng: "He Xing, do you think I'm stupid? A couple who have met each other's parents, see each other often, and get along well—who would believe there's nothing going on?"
What Jia Cheng cares about most is that Lao He's parents are extremely picky about her because she is neither as pretty nor as successful as He Xing.
Lin Beichen nodded in agreement.
Hu Xiu: "That's really true."
Jian Yu thought about her current relationship with Huo Qizhen. If they broke up, she would probably never see each other again.
He nodded in agreement.
Director He happened to see Jian Yu nodding beside him, “…”
He Xing said, "Jia Cheng, stop being unreasonable. Lao He hasn't worked for years, and the market doesn't recognize him at all. The investors I helped him get started demanded a different director as soon as they heard his name. Today, Lao He found investors himself, and they want to meet with him today. Do you think Lao He has the right to refuse?"
Jia Cheng: "You had no right to refuse, so you just left your sick child alone in the hospital. She's only two years old!"
Jia Cheng shouted the last sentence.
He Xing also lowered his voice, "Old He already said that it was his mother who didn't get there in time."
"Bullshit!" Jia Cheng couldn't help but swear. "Do you think he doesn't know what kind of person his mother is? The child is two years old, and she has never held him once. Oh... by the way, you two must not have seen her WeChat Moments yet, right? You two take a look now, and then talk to me."
Lao He and He Xing looked at each other in bewilderment.
Open Moments and find the content posted by the other person.
With just one glance, Old He's face darkened. "What are you up to now?"
Jia Cheng smiled wryly, "You're always like this."
He Xing said, "Jia Cheng, Auntie didn't post anything new on WeChat Moments."
"Yeah?"
Jia Cheng took out his phone, found a screen recording video in his album, and sent it to the two of them.
After reading it, Old He seemed to have been grabbed by the throat, "This..."
He Xing: "Is this really today's content?"
Jia Cheng pointed his phone at the two of them, "I was planning to rest at home today, but now I suddenly want to meet up with some friends for coffee, so let's go! The picture and location are clearly displayed on it. The posting time is 2:33 PM, and Lao He left the hospital at 1:57 PM."
The two of them, “…”
Jia Cheng: "Looks like this post on WeChat Moments is only visible to me. Hehehe..."
He Xing finally understood why Jia Cheng was so angry.
If it were her, she would only go even further.
He Xing said, "That's because Lao He and his mother didn't do a good job. It has nothing to do with me. You can't take your anger out on me. I really did receive a call from Lao He and came over to talk to the investors."
He Xing's assistant tugged at her arm and whispered, "President Jian and the others are behind you."
He Xing turned around and saw a row of people who had come to join in the fun, with Jian Yu leading the group.
"Mr. Jian?"
He Xing was worried that Jian Yu would have a bad impression of Lao He because of this, so she took her assistant's arm and went over to explain, "President Jian! This is all a misunderstanding. Every family has conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. It will be fine in time. You don't need to worry about it."
Before Jian Yu could speak, Jia Cheng exploded, "This won't end here, Lao He. I'm telling you, I'm divorcing you today."
Old He was startled. "Jia Cheng, I didn't handle this well. I accept that you hit me when you're angry, but let's not talk about divorce anymore."
Jia Cheng, "Just you wait for my lawyer to come knocking on your door!"
As Jia Cheng moved the child from her back into her arms, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mommy will take you back to the hospital."
The child hugged Jia Cheng's neck without saying a word.
After the two left, Jian Yu looked at Lao He and asked, "Aren't you going to chase after them?"
