Chapter 115 Men are sesame seeds
Hu Xiaoxiao quickly asked, "Which hospital is she in? You take care of her first, I'll be there soon."
After Hu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, he quickly changed his clothes. Because he was a little sleepy, he did not drive but took a taxi to the hospital.
Zhu Wanwen was guarding outside Athena's ward. When he saw Hu Xiaoxiao, he made a gesture to her to keep quiet and took her aside.
"How is Athena now?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.
Zhu Wanwen said: "It was discovered in time and is no longer serious. I was also shocked when I received the call from Aunt Lin."
"Why is Athena so stupid that she wants to commit suicide? He's just a man. This one is unreliable. Just find another one." Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand Athena's thoughts. What era is it now? Is she still risking her life for a man?
Zhu Wanwen sighed, glanced at the door of the ward, and whispered to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Lu Xinghe hasn't shown up. I guess Athena wants to force Lu Xinghe out."
"What's the point of a man who's having multiple affairs? If he can have multiple affairs now, he'll have other affairs in the future. Wouldn't it be better to see through it and break up with him as soon as possible?" Hu Xiaoxiao said.
She really didn't think it was a big deal.
"Everyone has a different personality. Not everyone can be so carefree in the face of love. You can't imagine how terrifying it is for a woman to fall in love. And—" Zhu Wanwen whispered, "Athena is pregnant. She's been pregnant for several months."
Hu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes widened for the first time. "Are you pregnant?"
"I just heard what the doctor said. I also talked to Athena for a while. She wanted me to ask you... Xiaoxiao, do you know where Lu Xinghe is?"
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened even more than before: "How should I know?"
"Lu Xinghe probably doesn't have many places to hide. Athena suspects he's hiding with Mingxu. Xiaoxiao, you're familiar with Mingxu, do you know where he lives?"
"I have Mingxu's home phone number. I'll ask him." Mingxu and Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't been working on any projects lately, so the two of them often went out to eat and exchanged home numbers for easy contact. "But, with things getting this bad, Lu Xinghe didn't step up to the plate, but instead went into hiding. He's such an irresponsible man. Can't Athena see that clearly and refuse to give up on him?"
"How about you go and try to persuade him?" Zhu Wanwen said.
Hu Xiaoxiao thought that they were good friends and she couldn't bear to watch her do something stupid, so she went into the ward with Zhu Wanwen.
In the ward, Lin's mother was talking to Athena with a worried look on her face.
Athena lowered her head, looking at the gauze on her wrist without saying a word.
When Lin's mother saw the two daughters come in, she stood up and found an excuse to go out, hoping that her daughters would give up their silly idea after being persuaded by their friends.
"Why are you doing this?" Hu Xiaoxiao sat on the stool in front of the bed, disapprovingly saying, "There are so many men in this world. If this one doesn't work out, try another. There are plenty of men who are more handsome, richer, and more considerate than Lu Xinghe. He hasn't shown up yet, and we can't find him. Just kick out such an irresponsible man."
"Thank you for coming here so late at night." Athena looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with deep apology and said, "I want to see Xinghe. There are some things I don't want to make things awkward, so I want to talk to him."
Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I don't know if he's with Mingxu. Athena, I think the current emergency isn't about that man, but you. There's too much news out there, and it's too unfavorable for you. You should come out and clarify as soon as possible to restore your reputation, otherwise it will have a huge impact on your career."
Baogang is a small place, and if you don't handle this matter properly, it will directly ruin your career. You just won the Best Newcomer Award and have a bright future. Don't do anything stupid. Athena, listen to me, career is a watermelon, and men are sesame seeds. Don't throw away the watermelon for the sesame seeds.
"I know you're doing this for my own good." Athena said nonchalantly, "For me, my career is gone, and that's it. My family doesn't need the money I earn. At worst, I can just stop acting."
Hu Xiaoxiao was a little angry, "You don't want such a good future?"
Athena touched her belly and whispered, "If you lose your career, you can always work on it again, but if you lose your child, it's gone forever."
Hu Xiaoxiao stared at Athena's belly and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
Zhu Wanwen tried to persuade Athena again, "You're still young. You can have children later and find him a responsible father. But if you miss out on your career, your whole life will be gone. You have such great resources now, and Linda is so willing to support you. It would be a shame if you gave up. I wonder how many artists in the company envy you."
"That's perfect. After I'm gone, the extra opportunities can be left to those who want them."
Zhu Wanwen was speechless and didn't want to talk anymore.
Seeing that Athena was unmoved, Hu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "I'll ask Mingxu. If Lu Xinghe is with him, I'll ask him to drag Lu Xinghe over."
Athena's face finally lit up. "Thank you, Xiaoxiao."
"I hope you won't regret it in the future," said Hu Xiaoxiao.
Athena said seriously, "I won't regret it. I know what I want. I know you call me stupid, call me foolish, call me ungrateful, but some things are very precious to others, and they are hard to come by, but they may not be what I like. And others may disdain things, but I like them. I like them because I like them, there is no reason. Xiaoxiao, do you understand?"
"I understand. Life is like a flower, each one different." Hu Xiaoxiao's voice was profound, like a bystander who saw through the mundane world. "Everyone has their own destiny. Right or wrong, it's only a few short decades. After a few decades, we'll all turn into a pile of yellow earth. It's better to live in the present and follow your heart. As long as you are sure of yourself, even if your life is not as you wish, you can accept it without regrets."
"I'm sure."
After leaving the ward, Hu Xiaoxiao went to the service desk to borrow a phone and called Mingxu.
Athena really knew Lu Xinghe very well. At this time, Lu Xinghe was hiding in Mingxu's house.
"Either you drag Lu Xinghe over here, or I'll go to your house and drag him over here." Hu Xiaoxiao said to Mingxu on the other end of the phone.
Mingxu was obviously shocked by Athena's irrational thoughts. "Xiaoxiao, wait in the hospital. I'll bring Lu Xinghe over right away. If he refuses, I'll knock him out and drag him over."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoxiao walked to the corridor and sat down with Zhu Wanwen. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Zhu Wanwen yawned and said, "If Lu Xinghe is willing to come, the problem should be solved."
Hu Xiaoxiao also rubbed his eyes and asked Zhu Wanwen, "How will they solve this problem? Lu Xinghe is hiding, obviously not wanting to take responsibility. I don't believe he doesn't know that Athena is pregnant."
