Chapter 199 Yunzhou didn't confess his feelings to me.
Upon hearing Song Xu's question, Lin Xi looked at Shen Yan and Xiao Heng sitting in the front row, and they told Song Xu the answer.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Lin Xi looked away and then at Song Xu. She could tell he was very angry. She wanted to explain, but Shen Yan and Xiao Heng were both there, so she couldn't say anything yet.
"Song Xu, I will explain this, but not now. Can you give me some time?"
"If not now, then when?" Song Xu said, his voice icy, barely containing his anger. "Are you going to explain to me after you and Lu Yunzhou get married and have children?"
"Song Xu, do you have to talk to me like that?" Lin Xi frowned. "I don't want to argue with you. You need to calm down."
Song Xu closed his eyes, his nostrils flared, and he exhaled a heavy breath.
Lin Xi didn't say a word, just stared at Song Xu's nostrils, wondering what kind of conflict he had with her brother. It shouldn't be that he was so angry over a meal.
We arrived at the hospital, the same hospital where Grandpa Song worked.
Lin Xi got out of the car first, holding onto the door as she waited for Song Xu to get out. Song Xu opened his eyes, looked at Lin Xi, stretched out a hand, and said resentfully, "Help me!"
Lin Xi was helpless. She grabbed Song Xu's hand and forcefully pulled him out of the car.
With one hand covering his ribs, Song Xu limped and pulled Lin Xi toward the hospital.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng ran ahead of the two to contact the doctor.
The first thing Song Xu said to the doctor was, "Get me an X-ray; it looks like I have a broken rib."
The examination results came back, and Song Xu had indeed broken two ribs, not one. The rest were all superficial wounds, numbering no less than twenty in total.
Lin Xi felt sorry for him. She sighed and held her forehead. She had just told her brother a couple of days ago that he had been too ruthless. Was he showing her with his actions that he had held back last time?
Song Xu was left in the hospital, so Lin Xi sent Shen Yan and Xiao Heng back while she stayed to take care of him.
After all that fuss, it was already past midnight. Song Xu was still upset with Lin Xi and kept his eyes closed, refusing to look at her.
Lin Xi didn't say anything. After wiping his body with a towel, she tidied up and lay down on the cot to go to sleep.
She felt that what they needed now was to calm down, and it wouldn't be too late to explain tomorrow morning.
She sent messages to Zhou Jingming and Lu Yunzhou, explaining Song Xu's condition and that she wanted to stay at the hospital to take care of him.
My mother doesn't have a cell phone yet, so I had to ask my cousin to go back and tell her.
Upon receiving the message, Zhou Jingming sighed and said to Lu Yunzhou, "You've gone to great lengths. After all, Song Xu is your future brother-in-law."
Lu Yunzhou snorted coldly, "If I had been ruthless, he wouldn't have just broken two ribs. It's his fault for being incompetent, and Xixi has suffered because of him."
"That's Song Xu's grandfather's problem." Zhou Jingming only realized that there was an obstacle between her and Song Xu when Lin Xi mentioned it during dinner that evening.
Lu Yunzhou said coldly, "I don't care if it's his grandfather or his father's problem, it's a problem with the Song family. He can't even handle his own family, how can I entrust Xixi to him?"
“What you said makes sense,” Zhou Jingming nodded. “Why should our sister suffer?”
"How is my mother doing?" Lu Yunzhou asked.
Zhou Jingming recounted the events of the day to Lu Yunzhou in detail, saying, "After seeing Xixi, Auntie's spirits have improved a lot, so don't worry."
Lu Yunzhou pulled out a new phone and handed it to Zhou Jingming, saying, "This is for my mom. The SIM card inside is my secondary SIM card."
“Okay, I’ll give it to Auntie when I get back,” Zhou Jingming casually placed the phone in Jiang Yan’s hand. “Yunzhou, when are you planning to issue new shares to dilute Lu Zhentao’s equity?”
“It’s being calculated,” Lu Yunzhou said, more anxious than anyone else, but this kind of thing could only be calculated privately. “My mother still has 10% of the shares, and together with what I have, we have a total of 30%, of which 20% are publicly offered shares.”
"I plan to issue new shares and then repurchase a large number of them in Xixi's name. In the end, the total amount will exceed Lu Zhentao's, but the funds are a bit insufficient."
“Just tell me how much you need, and I can lend it to you,” Zhou Jingming said. “I don’t have much more, but a few hundred million is still possible.”
Lu Yunzhou glanced at him. "Is the new media industry really that profitable?"
"It's alright," Zhou Jingming smiled. "We caught the wave a few years ago."
Lu Yunzhou felt confident. As long as he took control of the company, he wouldn't be afraid of anything else. "Next week should be about right."
“Okay, we’ll keep in touch. I’ll prepare the funds in advance,” Zhou Jingming said, pulling Jiang Yan to her feet. “It’s getting late, and Auntie is probably getting impatient at home.”
Lu Yunzhou stood up to see them off, saying, "Then I won't keep you any longer."
...
The next day, Lin Xi woke up early, while Song Xu was still asleep.
She still had classes today, but compared to Song Xu, she decided to take leave and stay to take care of him.
Since Song Xu was injured so badly, she had to inform the Song family. After thinking it over, she decided to send a message to Song Chen first.
Lin Xi quietly went into the bathroom to wash up.
Song Xu slowly opened his eyes. He hadn't slept much all night, and seeing Lin Xi sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her, no matter how angry he was.
Hearing Lin Xi open the bathroom door, Song Xu closed his eyes again.
Lin Xi walked to Song Xu's bedside and touched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever.
Song Xu's eyelids twitched twice, which Lin Xi noticed. She sighed, realizing that Song Xu was still angry.
She went back to the bathroom to get a wet towel and helped Song Xu wipe his face. His face was not easy to wipe, so she had to avoid the areas where he had been injured.
Lin Xi was very serious and careful, afraid of hurting Song Xu.
“Song Xu, actually I wanted to explain to you last night,” Lin Xi said to herself, “but seeing how angry you were, I thought I’d let you calm down and talk to you after you’ve calmed down.”
"Actually, I lied last time. Brother Yunzhou didn't confess to me, and things aren't what you think between us."
"He and I are actually..."
Lin Xi was only halfway through her sentence when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Xi shut her mouth.
Song Xu frowned. He was just hearing the crucial part. Who was so blind as to come at this moment?
"Xiao Xu!" Grandpa Song walked in, supported by a caregiver. When he saw Song Xu's face, which was covered in bruises, he raised his voice, "Who beat you up like this?"
Song Xu had a headache. Why was his grandfather here? Should he open his eyes or continue pretending to be asleep?
Lin Xi stood to the side with a towel in her hand, making room for him.
Grandpa Song turned around and glared at Lin Xi, angrily asking, "What's wrong with Xiao Xu? Is it related to you?"
Lin Xi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement that it was indeed related to her.
"I knew it!" Old Master Song sneered. "You've been flirting with other women and ruined Xiao Xu like this. If you were to enter the Song family, what would happen? The Song family bloodline would probably be impure."
