Chapter 51
Fang Shiyan didn't last long before falling ill and being hospitalized.
Since Wen Yixing married him, Fang Shiyan has rarely been sick and has hardly been to the hospital in recent years.
This sudden illness really frightened Li Qingyun.
For the first few days, Li Qingyun stayed at the hospital almost day and night until Fang Shiyan recovered somewhat, at which point she felt relieved.
Fang Shiyan is currently in poor mental condition, suffering from severe insomnia, and is hospitalized for treatment. He will not be able to be discharged for some time.
However, besides his health issues, he also had a lot of things to deal with at the company.
“You don’t need to handle company matters personally. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Look at yourself now, you look so haggard.”
Li Qingyun sat on the edge of the bed peeling oranges for Fang Shiyan. Her family business had been doing well over the years, so there were some things she didn't have to do herself.
Before, at home, she didn't even have to peel oranges; others would peel them for her before she ate them.
After peeling an orange, the sticky orange peel juice on her fingers made her feel particularly uncomfortable. Li Qingyun took a wet wipe from the side and wiped her fingers. She said to Fang Shiyan, "I won't be coming this afternoon. Mrs. Li is having a party at her house and invited me to go. Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Shen will also be there."
Speaking of this, Li Qingyun thought of something else. She said, "The young lady of the Lu family seems to really like watching your dramas. You know, it would have been so much better if you had gotten married a few years later. If we had the chance to form a marriage alliance with the Lu family, it would have been so much more beneficial for us than having this useless daughter-in-law like you."
Fang Shiyan frowned, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Li Qingyun by the bedside.
Li Qingyun didn't notice his gaze at all. She was looking down at her phone and said, "Actually, when the Shen family was down on their luck, it would have been quite appropriate to form a marriage alliance with them. However, the Shen family's main branch is in the south, and they have more assets overseas."
"Speaking of which, Shen Jingshao really has some skills. The Shen family was almost wiped out back then. He stayed abroad for two years, and I don't know how he managed to bring the Shen family back to life." Li Qingyun's tone was inevitably tinged with regret.
She particularly disliked the arrogant Mrs. Shen back then, and when the Shen family had their troubles that year, she secretly wanted to see them make a fool of themselves.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Shen would suddenly find her son, and this son was exceptionally capable, actually bringing the Shen family back to life.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.
Later, the Shen family remained among the elite families, and since Shen Jingshao took over the Shen family, its development momentum has been exceptionally strong.
Nowadays, everyone in the circle of wealthy wives flatters Mrs. Shen.
Every time the wives gathered, Li Qingyun would find it particularly annoying to look at Mrs. Shen's still young and beautiful face and her arrogant attitude.
She really couldn't understand why God hadn't let the Shen family go bankrupt back then.
"Xingye, are you on good terms with Shen Jingshao from the Shen family? I remember you had dinner with Shen Jingshao before. How is your relationship now?"
Seeing that her son didn't speak, Li Qingyun looked up at him.
He added, "If there's an opportunity, I can try to build a good relationship with Shen Jingshao."
"Shen Jingshao seems to be very ambitious and has connections abroad. He won't stop here."
Since handing over the company to her son, Li Qingyun has been living a carefree retirement life.
Especially in recent years, as Fang Shiyan's company has been doing quite well, she has gradually begun to integrate into the circle of the wealthy.
I frequently attend banquets and events for wealthy wives, and I have more and more opportunities to interact with the wives of truly prominent families and socialites.
The Fang family is different from other truly wealthy families. They have only recently begun to integrate into the circle of wealthy families in Beijing, and they cannot be considered a wealthy family with a solid foundation. At most, they are better off than those nouveau riche.
Actually, Li Qingyun's previous company wasn't very big; Fang Shiyan's father was just a university professor. It wasn't until Fang Shiyan graduated from university and officially took over the company that it gradually began to develop.
Ultimately, they cannot compare to large families and enterprises that have been developing for decades, possessing power, influence, connections, and a solid foundation.
However, Li Qingyun understood very well that in this circle, having more friends meant having more options.
So even though she disliked Mrs. Shen very much, she still managed to hide her emotions well and, like the other wives, tried her best to become friends with Mrs. Shen, someone she could talk to.
People are just so realistic!
Fang Shiyan's assistant was also in the ward, helping him deal with company issues. Fang Shiyan was in a bad mood and didn't really want to talk; he just kept his head down and worked on his tasks.
Li Qingyun walked around the ward and saw an open thermos on Fang Shiyan's bedside table. She asked, "Has Wen Yixing contacted you recently?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyan, who was busy with work, finally reacted. He looked at Li Qingyun and said calmly, "No."
At first, Li Qingyun was a little worried that Wen Yixing would take advantage of Fang Shiyan's illness to harass him, but when she heard Fang Shiyan say in a hoarse voice that he didn't, Li Qingyun felt inexplicably angry.
She snorted coldly, looked at Fang Shiyan whose face was pale, and said in a calm tone, "Your illness and hospitalization have even made the trending topics, and she didn't even ask about you. She's really heartless."
Fang Shiyan was slightly taken aback. He frowned and looked at his assistant, asking, "It's trending on social media?"
Fang Shiyan fainted during a live broadcast a few days ago and subsequently fell into a coma.
When I woke up, I only glanced at the news online and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Yes," the assistant explained. "You were trending on social media the night you fainted, and then twice more."
