023: To be rich is to be willful

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast.

After Xu Li took a nap, Tang Xin handed her a glass of warm water and said with a smile, "Sister Li, the paparazzi squatting at the door downstairs probably couldn't stand the cold wind, so they all left."

She stopped to drink water, then remembered what Shang Yan said at noon, and guessed that this was Shang Yan's handiwork.

After a moment of silence, she sent the water back, "The paparazzi have always been very cunning. They have withdrawn openly, but not necessarily secretly. I live here now, so I'd better be careful."

Tang Xin responded repeatedly and called the nurse to take her temperature for routine examination.

The fever has gone down, but my complexion is still not very good.

Not long after, Xu Li's cell phone rang. It was Xu Zhengsong. As soon as the call was connected, the anxious and worried middle-aged male voice came over.

She listened silently, but there wasn't much expression change on her face. It was unclear how true or false the words were, and she didn't feel at ease. Most of them went in one ear and out the other.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Li hung up the phone. Seeing that there were many greeting messages about her health on WeChat, she picked up a few important ones and replied to them. Later, she asked Tang Xin to take a photo of herself and then sent it to a friend.

circle as a reply.

She didn't have much energy to worry about other things. She checked Weibo again. After looking at her phone for a while, she felt dizzy and lay down to rest.

The next day, Director Zhang Jin personally came to the hospital to visit Xu Li, but because the crew was busy with schedules, he didn't stay too long. He told her to have a good rest and then left.

After resting for two days, taking injections and taking medicine, Xu Li's body gradually recovered, and she was thinking about being discharged from the hospital.

Originally, the doctor recommended that she be observed for two more days, but Xu Li was stubborn and had no choice, so he arranged for her to get an injection and take medicine before being discharged tomorrow.

During dinner in the evening, Xu Li received a message from Shang Yan.

Pig Head, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Li looked at these four words with some confusion. In this usual chatty tone, she replied in a strange way, "Have your account been hacked?"

Shang Yan, who had just finished work for the day, was sitting in the car. He looked at these words for a while, looked slightly relaxed, put away his phone and said calmly, "Go to the hospital."

Assistant Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said "yes", then changed his route.

After Xu Li sent the message, it was as if nothing had happened. She frowned and had some doubts. Could it be that her account was really hacked?

Just as he was thinking this, the door outside the ward was pushed open, and Shang Yan and Assistant Chen walked in one after the other.

"Madam." Assistant Chen nodded first, "Are you feeling better?"

Xu Li recovered from the shock and nodded, "Well, it's much better. Why are you two here?"

How to answer this question?

Assistant Chen is a little worried. Could it be that your husband doesn't trust you? Or does your wife want to come over and have dinner with you?

But it seems that his position is not enough.

Simply choose to remain silent.

Shang Yan was unmoved and even answered the question, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Li raised her eyes, and the doubts in her heart disappeared. It seemed that the person who just sent her WeChat message was her, but it was really weird. After four years of marriage, this dull piece of wood had come to its senses?

She shook her head, "Not yet. Sister Qiao brought me some snacks this afternoon. I'm not too hungry. I want to eat them later. Have you eaten?"

"No."

Shang Yan spoke calmly, and then glanced at Special Assistant Chen.

There was something that Special Assistant Chen didn't understand, so he immediately nodded, exited the ward, and went to prepare dinner.

Tang Xin was also a smart person and did not want to be a light bulb, so she consciously left on the pretext of dinner.

Just like that, the originally lively ward suddenly turned cold, leaving the two of them looking at each other.

"I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Xu Li was the first to break the silence.

Shang Yan frowned when he heard this, but it seemed that her complexion was indeed better than yesterday, but it was still a little worse than usual.

"what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said there is no problem, but you have to take medicine for two or three days when you go back. Just have a good rest and observe." Xu Li organized her words, changed the order of the doctor's words, and explained without blushing or heartbeat.

come out.

It's not that Shang Yan didn't believe her words, but just because the little peacock was so serious, he felt a little unreliable.

After thinking about it, it would be safer to ask Tang Xin or Qiao Shan later, so I said nothing.

Later, he answered the phone again, but he did not avoid Xu Li. When he opened his mouth, he spoke a string of very fluent English, and the conversation was all business.

This phone call was usually not short, it took almost twenty minutes before I hung up.

Xu Li studied abroad and was proficient in Chinese, English, French and German, so she naturally understood what he just said on the phone. She frowned and asked, "Are you going abroad?"

For Shang Yan, business trips have long been as common as eating. During the four years of their marriage, they spent less time together and more time away from each other. Either he was on a business trip, or she was traveling around the world for filming or making announcements.

Speaking of which, the time the two of them can spend together is really not that much.

"There's something going on at Company M, and there's a bit of a flaw in the project's fund flow." He sat back on the bed, paused and continued, "The losses were a bit serious."

"How much did you lose?" Seeing that his expression was not very clear, Xu Liduo asked.

"Four hundred million."

"What? Four hundred million?" Xu Li opened her eyes in surprise.

Shang Yan looked calm and didn't seem to be angry about it. He just nodded casually and said, "This is the beginning. There are some risks in this project from the beginning. It's just a bait."

Xu Li's eyelids twitched hard after hearing this. Judging from his tone, it seemed as if he only lost a few hundred yuan.

It’s not money!

Wasteful stuff!

Seeing her rolling her eyes and trying to control her anger, Shang Yan's brows turned into a smile, and he heard her ask, "Then you are not allowed to go to country M?"

"Need not."

Xu Li didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Thinking about the bait he just mentioned, the corners of his mouth twitched and he used several hundred million as bait.

Money is really willful.

She didn't understand and wasn't interested in the affairs of his company, so she stopped asking further questions.

Anyway, she was taking a few days off and had to rejoin the crew for filming. She also had to fly to City C at the end of the month to shoot a commercial. The schedule was full, but she was not in the mood to worry about anything else.

Not long after, Special Assistant Chen arrived with dinner, which was even richer and more exquisite than yesterday.

But still very light.

The two of them were speechless at the dinner table. Maybe because her body had recovered a little and her appetite had improved, she ate an extra bowl of rice.

After the meal, the two looked at each other in silence again. Xu Li also discovered that she and Shang Yan had nothing in common. Thinking about it, the two of them rarely sat together like this... in a daze.

That's right, just in a daze.
