After much persuasion from Xia Wanyu and Fu Huazhen, they finally managed to calm Fu's mother's blood pressure and heart rate, and the monitor stopped showing a deficit.
Xia Wanyu only left the ward after she had fallen asleep.
Looking up, you can see Fu Yanshi standing at the corner of the corridor, taking puffs of his cigarette.
Because he was so tall, he blocked half of the moonlight from the window, and his shadow was stretched very long.
Xia Wanyu took a deep breath and walked towards him.
"Whether you believe it or not, I genuinely like you as my aunt. If you really don't want to marry me, I won't force you! But you've seen my illness. If you continue to be so stubborn, even doctors aren't omnipotent."
Fu Yanshi paused, turned his head slightly, and glanced at her with his dark eyes.
"Don't try to convince me."
"I know it's futile, so I'm just here to give you some advice."
Seeing that he didn't react, Xia Wanyu continued, "The doctor said your mother can't be stimulated. Right now, you don't want to be separated from Xu Qinghuan, so I can only stay with you and put on a show. We'll pretend to be together."
"I am not interested."
“You’ll be interested! Auntie escaped death this time, but what about next time? Think about it carefully.” Xia Wanyu lowered her eyelashes, her tone tinged with self-mockery. “Actually, I don’t want to demean myself like this. I have my own self-respect! But for Auntie’s sake, I’m willing to act with you. What happens between you and Xu Qinghuan in private is none of my business, and I won’t bother you or Xu Qinghuan.”
Fu Yanshi didn't say anything, but simply stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
He ignored Xia Wanyu and went straight to the ward.
Behind her, she shouted, "If you agree, I can admit to what happened and let Xu Qinghuan continue working in the investment industry. Even if I framed her, I admit it and I will publicly apologize to her."
Fu Yanshi paused slightly, but did not turn around.
"You should apologize to her; it's something you owe her."
"You!" Xia Wanyu was almost hysterical. "You've never believed me, have you?"
Xu Qinghuan clearly had no evidence!
It's obvious that most people believe Xia Wanyu right now!
Clearly... no matter how you look at it, Fu Yanshi should be on your side, so why did he lose to Xu Qinghuan?
……
That night, Xu Qinghuan tossed and turned without closing her eyes, and Fu Yanshi didn't call.
I imagine his mother must have caused quite a scene at the hospital!
In fact, Xu Qinghuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Fu's mother's reaction. After all, families in high society would definitely hope that their sons could marry someone of equal social standing who would be helpful to their sons' careers! She had to admit that Xia Wanyu, this illegitimate daughter, was doing better than her. Whether in terms of education, talent, or qualifications, she was superior to her.
In addition, Xia Wanyu and her mother would not tell the Fu family that she was an illegitimate child.
Finally, Xu Qinghuan's phone rang.
When she saw Fu Yanshi's name displayed on the screen, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat! It was heavy, yet joyful, a complex mix of emotions.
"Did I wake you?"
When the call connected, Fu Yanshi's voice was hoarse and deep, probably because he hadn't slept all night.
"No, Auntie... how is she?"
"She's fine. The doctor said she's out of danger."
"Oh."
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, the two fell silent again.
After a long silence, she suddenly broke the silence, "Do you need to take care of her in the hospital the whole time?"
"No need, I've already left the hospital."
"Can you come pick me up?" Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips. "I... I'm not used to sleeping at Fu Jiajia's place..."
