Chapter 58: Husband becomes boss?
Seeing Pei Jingyan holding her hand tightly, Shen Lai rarely resisted.
Perhaps having someone around could bring a little comfort, even if that person was her mortal enemy.
At least she doesn't have to bear this helpless fear alone.
The corridor was silent. After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the emergency room suddenly went out.
Seeing this, Shen Lai quickly stood up, walked quickly to the doctor, and asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is my mother?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The patient's condition has stabilized, but he is still in a coma."
Hearing that her mother was fine, Shen Lai's heart finally settled down. Her palms were sweating unconsciously, and she couldn't help asking: "My mother was fine, why did she suddenly faint?"
The doctor said: "It was caused by pontine hemorrhage. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so it's not serious."
Shen Lai's heart sank little by little.
Her mother had been in the hospital for so long, and this had never happened before.
Looking at Shen Lai's solemn expression, Pei Jingyan seemed to be lost in thought, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
Not long after, Chang Suning was sent back to the ward. She lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and haggard, with many white hairs on her head.
Shen Lai came to the bed and sat down, holding her mother's hand tightly.
Before the Shen family went bankrupt, Chang Suning was a wealthy lady who dressed exquisitely. She went shopping and had beauty treatments every day and looked as young as these young people.
It's only been half a year and he's already looked so old.
Shen Lai's heart couldn't help but tighten. She lowered her head and rested her forehead on Chang Suning's arm.
At this time, Pei Jingyan's voice sounded in his ears, "Please help transfer your mother to another hospital."
Chen Lai paused, then slowly raised his head and looked at Pei Jingyan, "Transfer to another hospital?"
Pei Jingyan lowered his eyes and looked at her. "I know an authoritative expert in neurosurgery who can help your mother get transferred."
Seeing Shen Lai's hesitant expression, Pei Jingyan said, "This time the rescue was timely, but what if there is a next time?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lai's heart suddenly lifted up, and the words the doctor had just said emerged in his mind.
She turned her head to look at Chang Suning, who was pale on the hospital bed. She was silent for a long time, but finally did not reject Pei Jingyan's proposal.
There was no way she was going to risk her mother's life.
In the middle of the night, Chang Suning woke up from her coma.
Seeing this, Shen Lai quickly came over and asked, "Mom, how are you?"
Seeing Shen Lai, Chang Suning tried to sit up, but Shen Lai quickly held her down and said, "Mom, you're not well yet, don't move."
Chang Suning leaned weakly against the headboard and spoke weakly, "Why are you here?"
Shen Lai said with concern, "I heard you fainted, so I came to check on you."
Chang Suning sighed, "Silly child, I'm fine, why did you rush over here in the middle of the night?"
Shen Lai's face turned stern, "You fainted, and you still said you were fine."
If the nurse hadn't discovered it in time, no one would have known what had happened to her mother.
Chang Suning was about to say something when she inadvertently noticed the man behind Shen Lai. After seeing his appearance clearly, she paused slightly and asked, "Are you... Mr. Pei?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingyan walked to the bedside and took the initiative to greet her, "Auntie."
Chang Suning was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Worried that Pei Jingyan would say something he shouldn't, Shen Lai quickly replied, "Well, Mom, he's my boss. He heard that you were sick, so he came to see you."
Pei Jingyan looked at him deeply when he heard this.
boss?
Shen Lai pretended not to see Pei Jingyan's expression, and his smile towards Chang Suning was a little stiff.
Chang Suning was stunned for a moment, "Boss?"
Shen Lai coughed lightly: “The resources of my previous company were not good, so after the contract expired, I switched to Mr. Pei’s entertainment company.”
Chang Suning asked in confusion: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Shen Lai pretended to be calm and said, "It's not a big deal, so I didn't tell you."
Chang Suning didn't think too much about it. She asked casually, "Then why did you come here together?"
Shen Lai explained: "I was just talking to my agent at the company, and President Pei happened to be there. He heard that you were unconscious, so he dropped me off."
"So that's how it is." Chang Suning didn't doubt it. She looked at Pei Jingyan and said gratefully, "Mr. Pei, thank you for bothering me and making this special trip."
Pei Jingyan smiled faintly, "You're welcome."
Chang Suning smiled awkwardly. She looked at Chen Lai and then at Pei Jingyan. Of course, she had heard about the conflict between the two. She didn't know how Chen Lai signed under Pei Jingyan's company.
Worried that Pei Jingyan would hold a grudge against Chen Lai because of something that happened in the past, Chang Suning couldn't help but say, "Boss Pei, I know Lai Lai didn't get along with you in the past. We spoiled her and she's always been careless about what she does. Please forgive me and don't bother with her."
Shen Lai felt a little sad when he heard this.
Before the Shen family got into trouble, her mother had never spoken to others in such a humble manner.
But now, for her, he actually bowed to Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai's throat felt dry, "Mom..."
Pei Jingyan remained calm, "Auntie, don't worry, she is now an artist of our company. Everything is done according to the rules and procedures. Besides, those things in the past are in the past. I don't take them to heart."
Only then did Chang Suning feel relieved.
Since Pei Jingyan was willing to send Chen Lai to the hospital, their relationship shouldn't be that bad.
After a while, Pei Jingyan went out to answer the phone. Chang Suning took the opportunity to hold Shen Lai's hand and whispered, "Lai Lai, didn't you two get along before? How did you sign with his company?"
Shen Lai couldn't say that she sold herself to Pei Jingyan for medical expenses, so she said vaguely: "I only found out after signing the contract."
Chang Suning was a little worried: "He didn't bully you, did he?"
Shen Lai was amused, "Mom, what are you thinking, of course he didn't bully me."
At first, she also thought that Pei Jingyan would take the opportunity to retaliate against her, but after spending some time together, Pei Jingyan not only did not bully her, but every time someone caused trouble for her, Pei Jingyan would take the initiative to stand up and help her out.
She looked down at her hands, and couldn't help but think of Pei Jingyan holding her hand and saying that he would accompany her, and her ears suddenly felt hot.
Shen Lai realized what he was thinking belatedly, and shuddered. He quickly shook his head and forced himself to divert his attention. "By the way, Mom, I want to change a hospital for your treatment."
Hearing this, Chang Suning paused and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to change hospitals?"
Shen Lai couldn't tell the truth, so he had to find an excuse, "The medical conditions in this hospital are not good. If the nurse hadn't discovered it in time today, no one would have known that you fainted here."
Chang Suning comforted him, "Today was just an accident. Besides, you've been here for treatment for so long, so don't bother with it anymore."
Shen Lai was firm, "No, what if this happens again next time?"
Chang Suning looked troubled. "But if we go to a better hospital, the medical expenses will definitely be expensive, right?"
Shen Lai immediately said: "I made a lot of money after changing the company, so I will definitely have no problem paying for your medical expenses."
Seeing that Chang Suning was still hesitant, Shen Lai said seriously: "Mom, if you want me to feel at ease, then listen to me. Only when you are well can I work with peace of mind."
Looking at Shen Lai's serious expression, Chang Suning finally nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Only then did Shen Lai smile.
After chatting with Chang Suning for a while and waiting until she fell asleep, Shen Lai quietly left the ward and saw Pei Jingyan standing against the wall, playing with the ring nonchalantly, with his long legs wrapped in his trousers, exuding a casual and noble temperament.
"I thought you went back." Shen Lai said casually.
Pei Jingyan slowly turned his head, his deep pupils staring straight at Chen Lai.
Shen Lai was confused by the stare, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Jingyan didn't answer. He suddenly grabbed Shen Lai's hand and pulled him in front of him. Shen Lai was caught off guard and staggered and fell directly into his arms.
Pei Jingyan looked down at Shen Lai, as if sizing up his prey, and said jokingly, "Miss Shen, am I just your boss?"
