proud of marriage

Chapter 23 023: To be rich is to be willful

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast.

After Xu Li took a nap, Tang Xin brought up 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 paused as she drank water, recalling what Shang Yan said at noon, and guessed that it should be Shang Yan's handwriting.

After a moment of silence, she sent the water back, "The paparazzi have always been very cunning, and if they withdraw on the surface, they may not be sure in the dark. I live here now, so it's better to be careful."

Tang Xin complied repeatedly, and then called the nurse to take her temperature for routine checkups.

The fever has subsided, but the complexion is still not very good.

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

She listened silently, there was not much change in expression on her face, it was unclear how much of what was said was true and what was not, and she didn't worry about it, most of it just went in from one ear to the other and came out from the right.

After exchanging simple greetings, Xu Li hung up the phone. Seeing that there were many greeting messages on WeChat about her health, she picked up a few important replies, and then asked Tang Xin to take a photo of herself, and then sent a friend circle as a reply.

She didn't have too much energy to take care of other things, she glanced at Weibo again, and after looking at her phone for a while, she felt dizzy, so she lay down and rested.

The next day, director Zhang Jin came to visit Xu Li in the hospital, but because the crew was rushing to meet the schedule, he didn't stay long, and left after asking her to rest well.

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

Originally, the doctor advised her to observe for two more days, but Xu Li was stubborn and had no choice but to arrange for her to get an injection and take medicine tomorrow before being discharged from the hospital.

During dinner at night, Xu Li received a message from Shang Yan.

Pig head, "Did you eat?"

Xu Li looked at these four words and was a little puzzled. In this ordinary chattering tone, she replied by mistake, "Your account has been hacked?"

Shang Yan, who had just finished his day's work, sat in the car, stared at this line of writing for a while, looked slightly relaxed, put away his phone directly, and said lightly, "Go to the hospital."

Chen Tezhu was taken aback for a moment, nodded his head and answered 'yes', and then changed his route.

After Xu Li sent the message, it was as if nothing had disappeared. She frowned, and had some doubts. Could it be that her account was really hacked?
Just thinking like this, the door outside the ward was pushed open, and Shang Yan and Chen Tezhu walked in one after the other.

"Ma'am." Special Assistant Chen nodded first, "Are you feeling better?"

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

How to answer this question?
Chen Tezhu is a little worried, could it be that the husband is worried about you?Or do you mean that Mr. wants to come and have dinner with you?
But he doesn't seem to have enough ground.

Simply choose to keep silent.

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

Xu Li raised the corners of her eyes, and the doubts in her heart disappeared. It seems that the person who sent her WeChat just now was right, but it was really weird. After four years of marriage, this dull piece of wood has become enlightened?

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

"No."

Shang Yan opened his mouth lightly, then glanced at Chen Tezhu.

Chen Tezhu didn't understand anything, so he nodded immediately, left the ward, and went to prepare dinner.

Tang Xin was also an individual, and she didn't want to be a light bulb, so she consciously used dinner as an excuse to leave.

Just like that, the lively ward suddenly cooled down, leaving the two of them staring 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 her complexion was indeed better than yesterday, but it was still worse than usual.

"what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it's okay, but I have to take medicine for two or three days when I go back, just take a good rest and observe." Xu Li organized her words, changed the order of the doctor's words, and explained without blushing. come out.

It's not that Shang Yan doesn't believe her words, but just seeing how serious this little peacock is, he feels a little unreliable.

After thinking about it, it would be safer to ask Tang Xin or Qiao Shan later, so I didn't say anything.

Later, he answered another phone call, but he didn't avoid Xu Li. He spoke very fluent English, and the conversation was all about business.

This phone call is usually not short, and it took about twenty minutes before I hung up the phone.

Xu Li had studied abroad and was proficient in Chinese, English, French and German, so she naturally understood what he said on the phone just now. She frowned, "You want to go abroad?"

For Shang Yan, business trips have long been as common as eating. During the four years of their marriage, they just get together less and leave more. Either he is on a business trip, or she travels all over the world because of filming or announcements.

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

"There's something wrong with the company in country M, and there's something wrong with the project's capital turnover." He sat back on the bed, paused, and continued, "The loss is a bit serious."

"How much is the loss?" Seeing that his expression was not very clear, Xu Liduo asked.

"Four hundred million."

"What? Four hundred million?" Xu Li's eyes widened in surprise.

Shang Yan's expression was indifferent, as if he wasn't annoyed by this, he just nodded casually, "This is just the beginning, this project has some risks from the beginning, it's just a bait."

Xu Li's eyelids twitched violently when he heard this, and seeing his tone, it seemed that he was only losing a few hundred dollars.

Not money!

Loser thing!

Seeing her rolling her eyes and trying to restrain her anger, Shang Yan's brows were tinged with a smile, and he heard her ask, "Then why don't you go to country M?"

"Need not."

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

Money really willful.

She didn't understand and wasn't interested in his company's affairs, so she stopped asking.

Anyway, she rested for a few days, and had to join the filming crew again. At the end of the month, she had to fly to City C to shoot commercials. The schedule was full, but she wasn't in the mood to worry about other things.

Not long after, Special Assistant Chen brought dinner, which was richer and more delicate than yesterday.

But still very bland.

The two of them were speechless at the dinner table. It may be that her body has recovered and her appetite has improved. She ate an extra bowl of rice.

After the meal, the two looked at each other in silence again, and Xu Li also realized that she and Shang Yan really had nothing in common to talk about. Thinking about the past, the two of them seldom sat together like they are now... in a daze.

That's right, just in a daze.

"Cough, it's already 09:30, and you're still not going back to the hotel?" Xu Li was a little uncomfortable under the pressure of the silence, and asked with a soft cough.
