Le Yi lowered her head, the smile at the corner of her mouth still rising. "Third Brother, don't worry about me. I'm doing well here."
"Mm."
Huo Jincheng knew very well how much Le Yi liked Yi Nansheng.
Since she chose to support Yi Nansheng, he wouldn't interfere in their matters.
"If he treats you poorly, you must tell me. I'll stand up for you."
"I know, don't worry!" Le Yi smiled with her lips pressed together.
Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng had just walked out of the hospital when Huo Jincheng received a phone call. After just a couple of sentences, his expression changed dramatically.
"What happened?" Jian Yunong couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa is hospitalized."
Huo Jincheng held the phone tightly, his brows furrowing deeply.
Jian Yunong felt worried as well; everything seemed fine just a moment ago when they left. How could he be hospitalized so quickly? Could it be...
Jian Yunong could only think of one possibility: it was most likely due to the divorce troubles between Huo Liangchen and Bai Yaoyao that had upset him.
At the entrance of the emergency room.
Huo Family The whole family gathered at the door, with Grandma looking worried and two Daughter-in-law standing nearby.
The younger generation also stood around, each with a grim expression.
At one o'clock that night, the old man was finally pushed out of the emergency room safely.
It was a close call but nothing serious.
After being persuaded by the two Daughter-in-law, Grandma went home to rest.
The younger Huo Jinge could no longer hold on and fell asleep while sitting there, and was also called to go home.
"You should go back with them."
Huo Jincheng planned to stay behind and let Jian Yunong and Huo Jinge return to the Huo Family Old Residence to rest.
Jian Yunong shook her head, "I want to stay."
Grandpa treated her well, and she needed to confirm that he woke up and saw that he was completely fine before she could feel at ease.
Huo Jincheng softened his voice to coax her, "Go back and rest. Grandpa will be fine."
He hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
"Be good and listen. Come back tomorrow to see Grandpa."
Huo Jinge, still groggy, turned back to Jian Yunong and said, "Let's go, Sister San. Leave these matters to the men."
Jian Yunong was dragged out of the hospital by Huo Jinge.
Now only Huo Jincheng, Huo Liangchen, and Bai Yaoyao remained.
The three stood in silence.
The sound of a vibrating phone was particularly noticeable in the quiet hospital corridor.
Huo Liangchen's phone was vibrating. He glanced at it and prepared to walk to the other end to answer the call.
Bai Yaoyao stepped forward to block Huo Liangchen.
"Whose call is it?" she asked with red eyes, her suppressed emotions beginning to crumble.
Huo Liangchen pressed his lips into a thin line and looked at her displeased. "Bai Yaoyao, you have no right to interfere in my matters."
Bai Yaoyao pointed toward the ward, "Grandpa is still in the intensive care unit. He was hospitalized because of you. You promised him you wouldn't get a divorce!"
Huo Liangchen smirked coldly, "Yes, I promised Grandpa I wouldn't get a divorce."
It was just a promise not to divorce; he hadn't promised anything else.
What was the point of continuing this marriage that had become merely nominal?
The older generation has never experienced divorce and believes that it brings shame to the Huo Family.
Huo Liangchen originally wanted to fight to the end, but unfortunately, his father is old and has a bad temper, resulting in a stroke that landed him in the hospital.
Even though he agreed not to mention divorce again.
However, Huo Liangchen and Bai Yaoyao have completely broken through this barrier this time.
There is no longer any need to pretend to be a loving couple.
Bai Yaoyao trembled with anger, her nails digging into her palm in frustration. "Was it your mistress who called you in the middle of the night?"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Huo Liangchen's voice was extremely indifferent as he impatiently looked at Bai Yaoyao. "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Move aside!"
Bai Yaoyao's voice suddenly rose, "Who is it?"
She felt a deep hatred inside; she had to find that woman! The bad woman who destroyed her marriage!
She had lived like a widow for three years, holding on to this man, only to have him taken away by another woman!
How could Bai Yaoyao accept this?
"Who exactly is it?"
"It's not." Huo Liangchen didn't want to waste time with Bai Yaoyao.
Bai Yaoyao would not believe it. She sneered, "Then do you dare to let me see who is calling you? If there's nothing shady, why did you go to the other side to answer the call? Don't tell me it's for work; what kind of work needs to be done at this hour?"
"So what if it is? Bai Yaoyao, why do you think we got married? I thought you were clear about that. From the day you insisted on marrying me, I told you I don't love you. There are no feelings between us. I gave you the title of Mrs. Huo, and beyond that, don't be too greedy."
Tears seemed endless in Bai Yaoyao's eyes. "Huo Liangchen, you're going too far..."
"Bullying you? Aren't you the one who shamelessly designed our marriage?"
"…"
"If you're going to argue, take it outside. Don't cause a scene in the hospital," Huo Jincheng said in a low voice. "Do you want to drive the old man to his grave?"
Huo Liangchen directly pushed past Bai Yaoyao and quickly walked out. Bai Yaoyao's back hit the wall; she didn't have time to savor the pain before rushing after him.
Huo Jincheng coldly withdrew his gaze and stood in front of the ICU ward, observing the old man's condition through the glass.
Although he was often the one who received the most scolding from the old man, he still hoped this irritable old man would live a long life...
The old man safely passed the critical moment, and the doctor concluded there were no major issues, but he needed to pay attention to his health in the future.
The atmosphere in the Huo family improved slightly.
Jian Yunong specially brought breakfast to see the old man that morning.
She had woken up early, walking through the morning mist to reach the Inpatient Department.
The Inpatient Department was quiet.
The old man was transferred to the VIP Room.
Jian Yunong held two Meal Boxes in her hands, walking lightly to avoid disturbing others who might be resting at this early hour.
She pushed open the door to the ward, which was a suite, and first placed the Meal Boxes on the table in the outer room.
Where is Huo Jincheng?
She quietly leaned in to take a look; the old man on the bed was receiving an IV and seemed to be asleep.
Huo Jincheng was slouched on the sofa in the ward.
Jian Yunong took a blanket, preparing to cover him, but upon entering, she realized Bai Yaoyao was leaning against his shoulder, asleep.
Earlier, Bai Yaoyao had been blocked by the sofa, so Jian Yunong couldn't see her.
Holding the Blanket in her hands, Jian Yunong didn't know what to do.
Huo Jincheng looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes; he must have only just fallen asleep before dawn.
After thinking for a moment, Jian Yunong decided to cover Huo Jincheng with the Blanket she brought in.
She then quietly checked on the old man again and saw that he was still sleeping. She tiptoed back outside to sit down.
The ward was heated, making it very comfortable.
Jian Yunong leaned against the sofa in the outer room, staring at the old man's IV drip.
Before her mother passed away, she had also kept vigil like this.
Time seemed to stretch on indefinitely until Huo Jincheng came out from the inner room, his expression not looking very good.
Seeing Jian Yunong sitting on the sofa, Huo Jincheng paused slightly, his expression softening a bit. "When did you arrive?"
"Just now," Jian Yunong replied softly with a smile. "I brought breakfast."
"I'll head home for a bit; you stay here and keep an eye on things."
"Okay."
After Huo Jincheng left, Jian Yunong realized that today was her second day back at work. But it seemed she would have to take a leave of absence.
Jian Yunong mustered up her courage to ask the Human Resources Department for leave, but their tone was understandably not very pleasant.
"The president isn't coming to work, so you won't either? You must be as busy as the president."
"Isn't that right?" Jian Yunong almost blurted out. With the old man hospitalized, they younger ones naturally had to take turns caring for him. Huo Jincheng probably hadn't slept all night and needed to catch up on sleep at home today.
Jian Yunong lowered her attitude even further. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Something suddenly came up at home. The old man’s health suddenly took a turn for the worse."
Finally on leave, Jian Yunong let out a sigh of relief.
She had a feeling that she wouldn't last long in this job before getting fired.
After the old man woke up, Jian Yunong originally planned to feed him some porridge.
"I'll do it," Bai Yaoyao said as she directly took the Thermos Flask from Jian Yunong's hands.
Jian Yunong could only fold her hands together, thinking she should find something to do. She prepared warm water, and Bai Yaoyao simply took the cup from her. Throughout the entire process, Jian Yunong didn't need to intervene at all.
By noon, Grandma came to the hospital and told Jian Yunong to go home and rest. Jian Yunong then went to have lunch with her aunt.
The agreed lunch spot was at a Private Restaurant. Jian Yunong arrived before Mist Shenshen and was led inside by a waiter in a tailcoat after giving Mist Shenshen's name.
She ran into Huo Liangchen.
Jian Yunong was taken aback and greeted him, "Big Brother."
Huo Liangchen nodded slightly, "Are you eating alone?"
Jian Yunong shook her head, "I have an appointment with my aunt."
Huo Liangchen smiled at her and didn't say anything more.
Every dining area here is a private booth.
Mist Shenshen called to let her eat alone; she had something come up and might not be able to make it.
Jian Yunong felt a bit disappointed and had no choice but to order food by herself.
Looking at the prices, Jian Yunong was shocked and called Mist Shenshen again, "Auntie, why didn't you tell me the food here is so expensive!"
Mist Shenshen casually replied, "As long as it's delicious, who cares if it's expensive?"
"But I don't have that much money!"
Would it be a bit awkward to just get up and leave now?
Jian Yunong covered her forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed.
On the other end of the line, Ji Shaoli's voice came through, "Nong Nong, just tell the waiter to put it on my tab."
Are these two together?
Is Mist Shenshen's sudden issue because of Ji Shaoli?
Prioritizing romance over family!
After hanging up, Jian Yunong ordered two sets of meals with determination.
The waiter repeatedly confirmed with her, "Is the number of diners just one?"
"Yes. Is there a problem?"
"..." The waiter quickly adjusted his smile, proving to be a highly responsive server at a high-end restaurant where a meal costs two thousand. "Enjoy your meal."
Outside, Ye Qingqing walked in wearing sunglasses. "I want the third private room by the window."
"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, but there are already guests dining inside."
"Who?" Ye Qingqing paused while smoothing her wavy hair.
The staff glanced at the bill. "Mr. Ji."
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman wearing sunglasses stormed in.
Jian Yunong was happily eating, with a mouthful of Noble Consort Chicken, and looked surprised at this unexpected guest.
