Chapter 335 Lu Enterprises Is Safe
The next day.
Su Jianan woke up before seven o’clock, but Xiao Yunyun, who was curled up on the lounge chair, slept sweetly. She got out of bed and awakened her softly. “Yunyun, go to sleep in the bed.”
In her life, it was the first time for Xiao Yunyun to sleep in such an uneasy way. At that moment when she saw the bed, even if it was a hospital bed, she seemed to be happier than seeing her relatives. She climbed to the bed half conscious, wrapping herself with the quilt, then went to asleep within half a minute.
After all, she was still a little girl.
Su Jianan smiled helplessly and went to the bathroom to wash.
Just after she squeezed the toothpaste, she suddenly felt nauseated, and spitted out the bitter water. Her stomach felt uncomfortable as if it were being tightened with a thin rope.
In those few days, she seemed to get more and more into vomiting. She thought that she needed to ask the doctor if that was normal.
Xiao Yunyun was awakened by Su Jianan’s movements. She kicked the quilt and slid into the bathroom with her slippers. “Cousin, are you okay?”
Su Jianan gargled and squeezed a smile. “The normal reaction to pregnancy, I will be fine after I take a break.”
Xiao Yunyun gently caressed Su Jianan’s back. “I will let Dr. Tian arrange it later, and you’ll have a checkup before leaving the hospital.”
“Okay,” Su Jianan nodded and said, “It’s not seven yet, you can sleep for a while, I will wake you up when it’s time.”
Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth with a big yawn. “Okay.”
Su Jianan went back to the ward after was.h.i.+ng; Xiao Yunyun had fallen asleep again by then. She sat lightly on the small sofa, looking at the city that had not yet awakened outside the window, and she felt a little confused for a while.
Regarding the future of Lu Boyan and her, and the children in her belly, she had no clue about them—it felt bad.
When it was about eight o’clock, Aunt Zhang brought them breakfast.
Seeing Xiao Yunyun was still sleeping, Aunt Zhang said with a light voice, “Mr. Su was coming over, but it seems that the company has something that needs to be dealt with, so Mr. Su rushed over and said that he will come to see you after work in the afternoon.”
While saying that, Aunt Zhang had opened the thermos bottle, and poured out a bowl of porridge. “You must be vomiting in the morning, so you cannot eat something too strong. First drink some porridge; I will go to the seafood market to buy black fish and stew some soup for you.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang.” Su Jianan quickly finished a bowl of porridge; noticing that it was almost time, she went to wake Xiao Yunyun up.
Xiao Yunyun had a tough time getting up from bed. Su Jianan did her best to make her open her eyes. She mourned and kicked off the quilt, then went to wash with scattered hair and sorrow.
After Su Jianan finished breakfast, Aunt Zhang went back. Xiao Yunyun also went to work, and only Su Jianan was left in the ward.
Worried that Su Jianan would feel bored, Su Yicheng asked Aunt Zhang to bring her tablet computer. She was attracted by a t.i.tle after she opened it to browse the news.
—Su Jianan met the parents of the Jiang family, good things were near.
It reported that she and the Jiang family had dinner yesterday. In the photos published, she and Mrs. Jiang had a great talk. Mrs. Jiang gently held her hand, seeming loving and intimate. Jiang Shaokai sat next to her and smiled slightly. The whole picture was harmonious.
The report said that the Jiang family had a dinner at the Jiangyuan Hotel the day before, and then Jiang Shaokai arrived with Su Jianan. The Jiang family was very polite to Su Jianan, especially Mrs. Jiang, who seemed to like Su Jianan very much.
The reporter guessed that it may soon come the time to see Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai announcing the marriage.
As for the sudden appearance of Lu Boyan during the meeting, and the later leaving of Su Jianan, not a word of it was mentioned the article. Instead, it mentioned that Mrs. Jiang offered an interview.
The reporter asked Mrs. Jiang how to treat a remarried woman.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, “No matter what a woman has experienced, she has the power to pursue happiness when she reaches the age.”
In that case, it was clear that she didn’t mind that Su Jianan had a previous marriage. And it meant that the Jiang family was willing to accept Su Jianan.
Sure enough, the news commentary area was blown up. After being called “sophisticated”, Su Jianan was also called “s.l.u.t”. After getting Lu Boyan, she also shamelessly seduced Jiang Shaokai.
Su Jianan sought joy within sorrow: Wasn’t anyone saying that “s.l.u.t” was the highest evaluation of a woman’s appearance? She just thought that they were praising her.
Many reporters contacted Su Jianan, trying to confirm whether she and Jiang Shaokai had truly reached the point of marriage; she turned off the phone and completely isolated herself from the outside world.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Jianan went through a medical checkup according to Dr. Tian’s arrangement.
The results were very good; the two babies were healthy and developing well, and Dr. Tian allowed Su Jianan to leave the hospital one day in advance.
That day happened to be Friday, and Su Yicheng took off from work and then picked up Su Jianan.
On the way back, Su Jianan saw red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road. The happy New Year music entered her ears from time to time, and she realized that the Spring Festival was coming soon.
When she was young, the most antic.i.p.ated holiday was the Spring Festival. The family would not only become very lively, but there would also be the rarely eaten melons and fructose on the coffee table. She could ask for the toys and dolls that she liked at that time because her mother would not refuse her.
Su Jianan suddenly had something in her mind. She said, “Brother, let’s go and buy something for the New Year!” They were lonely enough at that period; they should add some flavor to the holiday.
“It just snowed yesterday; the road is too slippery. Besides, there are so many people in the market, who can guarantee that they will not touch you?” Su Yicheng did not mean to stop at all, then he glanced the disappointment on Su Jianan’s face. He smiled and said, “Do not worry, I have all those things sent to the house, and I promise you that they will all be things that you would like.”
When she got home, Su Jianan was happily playing with those things. The lanterns were hung on the balcony of the living room. The dried fruits were placed on the coffee table. The doors and gates were decorated with the decorations of the New Year. Su Yicheng carefully guarded her from behind her, being afraid that something would happen if he didn’t pay enough attention.
Su Jianan felt better, and the smile had returned to her face. “Brother, you don’t have to be so careful; I will take care of myself.”
“You pay attention to yourself; I will mind on my own.” Su Yicheng did not relax for half a minute. “The things happened the day before yesterday, once is enough.”
When Su Jianan set the decoration of the kitchen, and was coming down from the small stool, Su Yicheng hurriedly reached out and held her hand. “Be careful.”
“…” Su Jianan suddenly retracted her foot and stood on the stool. She looked at Su Yicheng seriously. “Brother!”
“What’s wrong?” Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said, “Can you talk to me after you get down?”
Su Jianan appeared as if she had not heard Su Yicheng’s words. She smiled and said, “The New Year is coming, Xiaoxi should be back, right?”
Su Yicheng’s energy was all placed on protecting Su Jianan. He did not listen carefully to what she asked, so he consciously replied, “She decided to fly directly to City A in Cambodia.”
After he finished speaking, he realized that the sentence leaked his secret and looked at Su Jianan with annoyance.
Su Jianan did not expect such a big harvest, and she got down from the stool slowly, staring at Su Yicheng. “Brother, what are you still hiding from me?”
In the past few months, there were no news of Luo Xiaoxi. She thought that Su Yicheng did not know where Luo Xiaoxi was, or whether Luo Xiaoxi was having fun, but at the moment it seemed… Su Yicheng was clearly paying attention to Luo Xiaoxi in secret!
Su Yicheng avoided the torch-like look of Su Jianan. “Don’t tell her.”
During that time, Luo Xiaoxi ran around, and she went to all the safe and insecure places. If he had not been worried that she would have trouble or that something would go wrong, he wouldn’t have bothered to check her whereabouts.
Su Jianan smiled and clapped her hands. “Depends on my mood! However, the mood of pregnant women is capricious, did you know?”
Su Yicheng looked gloomy, and Su Jianan had an instant achievement.
It was not easy to influence Su Yicheng’s emotions.
However, it didn’t take long for Su Jianan to be jaunty—in the afternoon she had vomited several times in a row, not even having appet.i.te for dinner, lying weakly in bed. She seemed to be intensely tortured.
That situation continued until the next day.
Su Yicheng called the doctor and got the answer. The answer was that the seriousness of morning sickness was normal. They had to pay attention to the supplement of water and nutrition to pregnant women.
In order to avoid affecting the fetus, she could not be injected, nor use drugs to stop vomiting; Su Jianan could only bear it until it pa.s.sed.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Jianan’s morning sickness was relieved. She looked quite weakened, and Su Yicheng was sitting on the edge of her bed with a distressed heart. The eyebrows were tightly tied together, and he had already killed Lu Boyan thousands of times in his mind.
Su Jianan squeezed a smile. “Brother, I am fine, it is already OK.”
Su Yicheng caressed the hair on Su Jianan’s forehead. “Do you want to eat?” Su Jianan had basically eaten very little in the past two days.
Su Jianan still had no appet.i.te and shook her head. “Don’t you still have to attend Lu Enterprises’ annual meeting? Go, I will call Aunt Zhang when I am hungry.”
“I won’t go,” Su Yicheng said, “I’ll stay with you at home.”
“Just go for me.” After a moment, Su Jianan continued to say, “Go see Boyan for me.”
Su Yicheng sighed and changed clothes to rush to the hotel.
Su Jianan threw up the whole night last night. When she woke up, she was sore and so tired that she didn’t want to move. At the moment, since she didn’t want to vomit, she simply closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
At one o’clock in the morning, it was like she suddenly felt something. Su Jianan woke up and looked around in the empty room. She thought of Lu Boyan without warning.
The news that she and Jiang Shaokai’s “talking about marriage” was hotly debated online for two days. If she had not said those things to Lu Boyan that night, he would have soon gone to her side…
Su Jianan discovered that she missed Lu Boyan deeply. As long as he came to see her, even if it was to mock her.
According to Lu Boyan’s character, he believed her so unreservedly, and tried his best to ask her to stay. She still refused to turn back and even said that… he should… no longer approach her.
In the middle of the night, all emotions would be magnified, and the pain that oozed from the bottom of her heart was clearly understood. Su Jianan couldn’t help it, tears fell from the corner of her eyes, she was completely drowned by a desperate sadness.
At that time, Su Yicheng, who had just returned home, came in by pus.h.i.+ng the door. Although Su Jianan had wiped away her tears, he still saw her red eyes.
He rushed over and turned on the lamp near the bed. He asked, “What happened?”
Su Jianan shook her head and squeezed a smile. “I don’t know why I cried. Right, is Lu Enterprises’ annual meeting… going smoothly?”
“It’s very smooth,” Su Yicheng said, “Lu Enterprises’ catastrophe happened this year, but fortunately it survived. Boyan mentioned the financial crisis in the previous period at the annual meeting and said that it had been overcome. The employees are very excited. He also found out the root of the tax evasion problem. After submitting the materials, the Inland Revenue Department and the Commercial Crimes Investigation Division will review the case, and Lu Enterprises will soon prove its innocence.”
“I knew that he could do it.” The haze of the heart was set aside, and Su Jianan’s appet.i.te was restored, “Brother, can you help me heat the food?”
Su Yicheng’s lips opened and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he only said “OK” and then went out to help Su Jianan heat the meal.
Su Jianan did not notice that Su Yicheng wanted to say something else.
