Chapter 537 Identity Exposed
Chapter 537 Identity Exposed
After a week of obedient rest in the hospital, Fang Li finally heard Dean Zhou and Director Wang of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department nod and say that the data had stabilized and there were no problems for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Fang Li immediately asked Han Xi to process her discharge from the hospital.
If she stays in the hospital any longer, she's afraid she'll develop bedsores.
Han Xi was still worried, so he went to see Dean Zhou again to confirm that properly resuming a normal diet and lifestyle after being discharged from the hospital would not only not affect the pregnant woman's health or the fetus, but would actually be beneficial.
Han Xi nodded and went to complete the discharge procedures for Fang Li.
Fang Li was picked up by Xu Fangye and Xu Tingfeng in person when she was discharged from the hospital.
Fang Yun and Cheng Xian, along with their servants, meticulously arranged everything at home, from checking the facilities and roads of the old house for any safety hazards to replacing the furniture and furnishings in Fang Li's small building.
I was afraid she might trip or fall on her way back.
Around 5 p.m., Fang Li and her group finally returned to the Xu family's old house.
As soon as they entered, Fang Yun and Cheng Xian began chanting and circled around her several times as if performing a ritual, making sure that all the 'evil spirits' on her body had been cleansed before taking her to the restaurant.
Because of the unexpected event at the annual meeting, the Xu family has essentially missed out on celebrating the New Year this year.
It just so happens that today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the eve of the Lunar New Year, and Fang Li has returned safely. Everyone was very happy during the meal, and the gloom that had accumulated in the Xu family throughout the year was finally swept away.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before returning to their respective courtyards. Xu Fangye had other business to attend to, so he drove out.
Han Xi and Fang Li went upstairs.
After this incident, the Xu family no longer prevented the young couple from sleeping in separate rooms.
After all, we already have a child, so there's no point in doing these things anymore.
The room upstairs.
Han Xi is taking a shower in the bathroom.
Fang Li lay half-reclined on the bed, her fingertips gently stroking the edge of her phone, the cool metal casing seeming to carry a familiar warmth.
During her week in the hospital, Han Xi confiscated her phone, ostensibly to "rest and recover," but she knew perfectly well that he was afraid the distracting news would bother her and the baby in her womb.
As I gripped my phone again, the screen lit up, and a barrage of message notifications began to ring out, as if trying to fill the void of the past week.
Before she could even look through the backlog of information, Wen Yang's name popped up on the screen.
Fang Li looked at the jumping avatar and couldn't help but smile.
"Pear! You finally answered the phone!"
Wen Yang's voice carried a hint of urgency, which seemed to come through the receiver with a warm breath, "Han Xi said you were sick. What happened? How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"
Fang Li leaned against the soft headboard, with a pregnancy pillow specially prepared for her by Han Xi behind her. The little one in her belly seemed to sense her mother's relaxation and remained obediently still.
She raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, stroking it lightly, and said in a soft voice, "It's almost healed. It's nothing serious. I just caught a bit of a cold before. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
She could picture Wen Yang frowning on the other end of the phone. Although Han Xi's excuse wasn't foolproof, Wen Yang never doubted him.
Sure enough, hearing her relaxed tone, Wen Yang's voice immediately brightened, "It's good that you're alright."
Soon, with the excitement typical of gossip, she exclaimed, "You have no idea! The moment your identity as the daughter of the Xu family was revealed, the entire industry went wild! Those old guys who used to ignore Xingli Films are now flocking to our company like lapdogs, carrying bags of gifts and lining up to cooperate with us!"
Fang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, her fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on the blanket: "What did Zhou Yufan say?"
"My senior said that if we want to collaborate, we need to make an appointment and get on the waiting list first!"
Wen Yang's voice was full of smugness, "Let me tell you, the way he looked so serious back then was exactly the same as your usual mischievous face. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it!"
Mentioning Zhou Yufan, Fang Li could almost picture him in a suit, his face stern, telling those sycophants, "Please make an appointment first," and she couldn't help but smile.
When Liyun Studio was first established, she and Zhou Yufan struggled in the industry, enduring countless scornful looks.
Now, the tables have turned, and those who once looked down on them are now begging for cooperation.
"By the way, do you know about Song Yuchen?"
Wen Yang's tone suddenly turned serious. "The official media has already issued a notice across the entire internet. All of his works have been taken down, and many actors who have worked with him have also been implicated. Yaoxing Media has also been criticized by the Film and Television Association and is now suspending all operations for internal restructuring!"
Fang Li tightened her grip on her phone; she wasn't surprised by Song Yuchen's fate.
He committed so many heinous acts, and now he has ended up like this; it is only his own fault.
"And Shengshi Group."
Wen Yang's voice was filled with astonishment, "Can you believe it? Such a large group collapsed overnight! When I heard the news the next morning, I was stunned for a long time and couldn't react. Now the Sheng family is a joke in Beijing. I heard they are insolvent and many of their private assets have been investigated and auctioned off."
Fang Li leaned against the headboard, listening quietly.
Whether it was Song Yuchen's complete disgrace or Sheng Qianrui's utter defeat, it all seemed like a pre-written script.
She felt no ripples in her heart; the hurt those people had inflicted on her had now been repaid in another form.
"When will you come back?"
Wen Yang's tone suddenly softened, with a hint of coquetry, "People in the company are gradually returning to work, and I can't handle everything by myself. Besides... I miss you."
Fang Li felt a gentle tap on her heart. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, she said softly, "It's not easy to come back, and I want to spend more time with my family. Please take care of things at the company. I'll be going back in a few days."
She didn't tell Wen Yang about her pregnancy, not because she didn't trust him, but because she wanted to wait until everything was more stable.
This child was hard-won, and she wanted to protect him with utmost care.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Li placed it on the bedside table, gently stroking her lower abdomen with a tender smile on her face.
"What are you thinking about?" Han Xi's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Fang Li turned her head and saw that he had just come out of the shower, wearing loose pajamas, his hair wet, water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair and sliding down his well-defined collarbone.
He walked to the bedside and sat down, pulling the towel from his shoulder and drying his hair while looking at her tenderly.
"nothing."
Fang Li shook her head, her gaze falling on him, and suddenly asked, "When do you plan to return to the capital?"
Han Xi paused in drying his hair, and did not answer immediately.
