In the hospital

Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qingi had stayed in the ward for over an hour until Tang Wan finished work and cover

before they left. The old lady actually wanted Huo Qingi to stay and chat for a while longer, but the head of the

Shen Family issued an order for them to leave.

"You see, it's getting dark..."

The implication was clear, it was tfor them to go.

"Grandma, then I'll cto see you tomorrow," Tang Wan said with a smile.

"It's just a check-up, no need to cevery day. Let's go, I'll walk you out," the old man said with a smile.

"Xiaohuo, thank you for taking the tto ctoday. You must be a busy person too. It's the thought that

counts, no need to trouble yourself to make a special trip."

When the old man spoke to him, he had to tilt his head up slightly, which was really uncomfortable!

Once the three left, Old Madam Shen sighed deeply, "Young Huo is a good person, why do you always target

him?"

"I really don't, don't overthink it. It's getting late, and they really should be heading back for dinner."

"You did that on purpose."

Old Madam Shen knew well, Huo Qingi was indeed good, but the Huo family from Hexi was no ordinary family.

Compared to him, the old man preferred her to find an ordinary person and live a stable life.

Besides, marrying him, she wouldn't even know how many times a year she could see him. Could her days be

pleasant?

Which parent doesn't wish their child great wealth, but for Old Madam Shen, her child's health and happiness

were far more important.

ok

After Jiang Jinsang and the others left, it was already quite dark. Tang Wan courteously invited Huo Qingi to have

dinner at her home, knowing well that Huo's parents were not around and he would be dining alone if he went

back.

Huo Qingi was not one to bother others; during his stay in Beijing, the old lady had invited him countless times to

dine at their home, and he had declined each time.

So Tang Wan's invitation was just a polite gesture.

Unexpectedly, he nodded and really accepted.

"Then | won't stand on ceremony."

Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, wondering how he had agreed so readily when he usually declined?

They hadn't expected that when the three of them reached the old house, Jiang Zhenhuan and his wife were

there today, and aside from them, there was also an acquaintance.

"Uncle Liang." Both Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had met him before, and although it was Huo Qingi's first time

meeting him, he had researched him and seen photos, just not expecting to see him in person at the Jiang

residence.

After greeting, he prepared to leave.

He clearly had more to say but felt it inappropriate to continue the conversation deeply since Jiang Jinsang and

the others had returned.

Probably there were things inconvenient to discuss in front of the younger generation.

When Huo Qingi briefly met him, he felt that Huo Qingi's gaze, though usually cold and indifferent, carried a

certain chill, even though it was their first meeting and the two families usually had no interaction. Huo Qingi

shouldn't have any hostility towards him, but that glance was indeed a bit odd.

"Director Liang, stay for dinner before you leave," Fan Mingyu politely said.

"Yes, it's quite late already, have dinner before you go," the old lady also said with a laugh.

"The dinner at his ready, and having been entertaining these past few days, | haven't dined at home. If |

don't go back today, my wife might get upset," he said with a smile as he declined.

After he left, Jiang Jinsang looked at the gift box on the table. Although not opened, he could tell from the

packaging that it was no ordinary item. "This Uncle Liang is quite generous."

Jiang Zhenhuan laughed and shook his head, "He's eyeing a project of our family and wants to collaborate.

Compared to the potential profits, these gifts are worthless."

"You don't want to collaborate with him?"

"Last twhen Old Mr. Liang cvisiting with his family, | considered collaborating with them due to your

grandfather's presence and deliberately had his company evaluated. The evaluation result isn't out yet, but

sold friends in the industry don't speak highly of his family's reputation."

Jiang Zhenhuan, in business, wasn't running a charity, and clearly needed to evaluate profit and risk.

"He probably knows it himself, that's why he's sending such expensive gifts, trying to foster relations privately,"

Jiang Jinsang chuckled.

"He's pulled quite a few strings, even having someone deliver messages to me," Jiang Zhenhuan spoke lightly of

it, as such things were common, "He's putting a lot of effort into this collaboration, feeling like he's staking his

entire fortune on this one project."

"The Liang Family..." Jiang Jinsang scoffed lightly, "They shouldn't be in such a situation, should they?"

But after all, he was not a businessman and wasn't very clear about these matters.

"When Mr. Liang was in charge, there was no question about it, but his son just isn't cut out for business. Even

during the financial crisis of '08, they barely scraped by. These past few years, they've only seemed impressive

from the outside..."

Jiang Zhenhuan wasn't usually a talkative person, but when it cto business, it was hard not to get a bit

chatty.

"Let's not talk about work after we get home. Today, since Qingi is here, I'll go cook a few dishes," Fan Mingyu

interrupted him.

Huo Qingi slightly frowned; he actually wanted to hear Jiang Zhenhuan gossip a bit more...

"See, Qingi doesn't even like this stuff. Why bring it up at home!"

Huo Qingi: "..."

Capitalists and the financial markets are always sensitive, and it was clear from this that the Liang Family wasn't

really up to par.

Since Huo Qingi rarely cover, Fan Mingyu even picked up swine, but since he was always on the go and

couldn't drink, it ended up being just a few drinks among the Jiang Family members. Tang Wan was preparing to

go to the hospital the next day to accompany her grandmother for a check-up, so she didn't drink, but Jiang

Jinsang did.

His tolerance was just average, and when Huo Qinqi left, it was Tang Wan who saw him out.

"| didn't expect you to make a trip just for grandma's check-up."

"It just happened that Xiaowu was going out, and visiting was the right thing to do. | didn't expect Ms. Shen to

have such a good relationship with her parents, to take leave specifically to accompany them."

Shen Shuci was an adopted daughter, and that wasn't a secret hidden away. Huo Qingi's remark simply meant

he thought their relationship was exceptionally good.

"Auntie really treats my grandparents well; after all, to her, they are her closest kin."

"Doesn't she have any other relatives?"

"If she had relatives, would she have been sent to an orphanage? With such relatives, even if she does have

them, I'm afraid the relationship wouldn't be very good."

"Is she an orphan?"

Tang Wan nodded.

Their conversation seemed casual as Tang Wan watched him get into the car, not thinking too much about it,

like...

if someone was deliberately trying to extract information from her.

Huo Qingi wasn't a bad person, so naturally, Tang Wan didn't think too much of it. Moreover, if it was about Shen

Shuci's overly private matters, she wouldn't discuss them with others.

It felt just like casual family chatter, and Tang Wan felt quite good after returning...

She had known Huo Qingi for so long, and tonight might have been the most they'd ever spoken.

She hadn't expected to talk so much today, and deep down, she was quite happy, feeling that Huo Qingi was no

longer so distant with her.

And when he left, Huo Qingi looked at her, even telling her to rest early and saying goodnight?

Far gentler than usual!

"Do you think something happened to Brother Huo recently?"

"They say a change in routine is a sign of something brewing. What do you think he's plotting?"

Tang Wan used to see him so infrequently, she thought he was mysterious. Recently, as he appeared more often,

she could sense something was off, maybe skind of a woman's sixth sense.

But after babbling on for a long while, Jiang Jinsang, who had drunk quite a bit, had already fallen asleep.

Seeing him sleeping so soundly, Tang Wan tucked him in, got up to wash up, and had just squeezed some

toothpaste, not even brought it to her mouth, when she felt nauseous.

She furrowed her brow. Just earlier,

Gagging?

She subconsciously touched her stomach; surely all the recent effort hadn't been fruitful? But she had just had

her period not long ago.

After washing up and getting into bed, Tang Wan pulled out her phone and started searching on Baidu. The more

she read, the more her heart fluttered...

She had always been trying hard, but to be honest, she wasn't quite fully prepared.

They say effort always pays off, but it couldn't be this soon.
