Chapter 496: Dry wood and fierce fire
Wen Liang didn't expect Tang Shishi to act so quickly. She had only been on a business trip for two days, and she had already signed an agreement with Yan Huai and met his parents.
Wen Liang briefly glanced over the agreement and said, "I think the content of the agreement is quite favorable to you, but isn't getting married next month too soon?"
Tang Shishi ate a small cake and said, "I think it's fast too, um...but my adopted brother is not young anymore, so there's nothing I can do..."
"So where are you going to live after you get married? Have you discussed it?"
"We're buying a new house. We've made an appointment to go house hunting together tomorrow. Aliang, do you want to come with us? Give me some advice."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I'd go if I had time. The magazine is pushing me hard, so I have to get the film out quickly."
"All right."
Tang Shishi moved closer to her and said excitedly, "He told me that he looked at three residential communities: Moyin Garden, Shuixie Lanting, and Anjiang Mansion."
"Anjiang Prefecture, the one on the peninsula?"
"Um."
"Huh, Yan Huai is so rich? He's invested a lot of money." Wen Liang looked at Tang Shishi with amusement, "Are you moved?"
"I'm attracted to the house," Tang Shishi said. "It's a big villa worth a small house, but it's too big for just the two of us. We're not a real couple and won't have children, so it's not worth it."
"Oh, are you starting to save money for Yan Huai now?" Wen Liang joked.
"Wen Xiaoliang, how dare you make fun of me?" Tang Shishi smiled sinisterly and reached out to tickle her.
"No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong." Wen Liang suppressed his smile, dodged and begged for mercy.
Tang Shishi pinched it twice, it was soft and springy, and when she let go she couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Fu is so lucky, I really want to bury him in her."
"Fuck you." Wen Liang blushed and said angrily.
Wen Liang moved to the corner of the sofa and said seriously, "But seriously, Tang, what do you think of Yan Huai? I think he really wants to reconcile with you and is quite accommodating to you."
Everyone could see that the reason Yan Huai offered to help her get the company was so that he could agree to marry her and spend every day with her.
It would take at least a few years from the time he joined the company to the time he took firm control of it. During these years, they would live together, facing each other day and night. It would be easy for the fire to start with dry firewood, right?
But knowing his purpose, Tang Shishi still agreed.
Tang Shishi's face was calm. After a few seconds of silence, she sighed and said, "I don't know either."
"I hate him for leaving without even giving me a reason, and just disappearing like that. I also hate him for appearing in my life unexpectedly when I was almost forgetting him..."
Wen Liang seemed to understand what she meant.
What she hated was Yan Huai's behavior of walking away, not her denial of Yan Huai as a person.
When Yan Huai was still a poor boy, Tang Shi would fall in love with him. Now Yan Huai has returned as a successful man, with handsome appearance, elegant temperament, and outstanding financial resources. He likes her, indulges her, and launches a fierce offensive against her. Who can resist?
Tang Shishi always thought that Wen Liang was the biggest love-brained person in the world.
But when it happened to her, she suddenly realized that she was no worse than the others.
At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Fu Zheng received a call from Ilia.
He picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, turned off the ringtone, and put it back on the table.
The call automatically hung up.
About half a minute later, the screen lit up again, and this time the caller ID was Fu Shifan's number.
Fu Zheng paused and pressed the green button, "Fanfan, what's wrong?"
Ilia's anxious voice came from the microphone, "Fu Zheng, come to the hospital quickly, Fanfan was hit by a car and is being rescued now!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Zheng's expression changed. He stood up solemnly and asked which hospital Ilia was in while walking her out.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Zheng rushed to the emergency operating room.
The lights in the operating room were still on. Ilia was sitting on a public chair, her hands tightly twisting the hem of her clothes. Her face was pale, her lips were tightly pursed, her brows were furrowed, and she was extremely worried and scared.
Fu Zheng strode over and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Seeing him coming, Ilia stood up and explained in a panic, "When Fanfan got out of school, I went to pick her up for dinner. There were no seats at the restaurant, so I parked the car in the square across the street. When we passed the traffic light, I don't know what happened, but suddenly a car came out. My mind went blank, and when I reacted, Fanfan was already lying on the ground..."
"Fu Zheng, I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect this to happen." Ilia choked nervously, her eyes red, and she felt very guilty.
"Have you called the police?"
"I... I forgot." Ilia clutched the hem of her clothes, at a loss. "I was only thinking about getting Fanfan to the hospital quickly and forgot to call the police."
Her car was right next to them at that time, and calling 120 would have slowed things down a lot.
Fu Zheng took out his cell phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and walked towards the fire escape.
After calling the police, he dialed Special Assistant Yang's number.
Ilia looked nervous and glanced in Fu Zheng's direction from time to time.
After giving the instructions, Fu Zheng returned to the operating room.
Elijah asked, "Did you call the police?"
"Um."
He looked at Ilia and said, "It's not your fault, but you don't have the ability to take care of Fanfan by yourself. When you take Fanfan out in the future, bring someone with you."
"Yeah." Ilia wiped her eyes and nodded hurriedly, "I'll remember that. Fanfan, please don't get hurt."
Fu Zheng said nothing and sat down to wait.
About half an hour later, the red light in the operating room turned green, and Fu Shifan was pushed out by the nurse with an IV drip. His round little head was wrapped in a circle of gauze, with only his facial features exposed.
"Are you the patient's parents? She's out of danger now, but she has serious injuries and needs to be well cared for."
Ilia breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness."
Fu Shifan was pushed into the ward.
Fu Zheng thought of the little girl's usual lively appearance, and then looked at her pale and sleepy face. He felt distressed and asked, "Nurse, when will she wake up?"
The nurse said, "If she's in severe pain after waking up in half an hour to an hour, give her painkillers. She can eat four hours after the surgery. Start by giving her fluids and easily digestible food."
"good."
Fu Zheng pulled the chair in the ward to the head of the bed and sat down.
Ilia sat in another chair.
The two of them guarded Fu Shifan together.
The ward was quiet for a while.
The ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the room.
Ilia unconsciously clenched her hands and looked towards the source of the sound worriedly.
Fu Zheng walked to the window and answered the phone, "What's the matter?"
Ilia's heart tightened, and the hem of her clothes was wrinkled beyond recognition by her.
"I see. I'll have my assistant contact you later."
He hung up and put the phone back in his pocket.
"Are they the police?" Ilia asked with an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.
Fu Zheng nodded. "Yes, the surveillance video has been retrieved, and the license plate number of the vehicle involved in the accident has been identified."
"That's good. He must be punished."
As she spoke, a message alert sounded from her phone.
Ilia's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Fu Zheng inconspicuously.
Seeing that he didn't notice her, she took out her phone, glanced at the message, and then put the phone back in her pocket, as if she had received some harassing text message.
It worked.
She lowered her eyes, a hidden smile flashing in her eyes.
