And they did. Seeing the bruise on the back of Yun Nan’s hand, Shi Nian felt pained as he caressed it gently. “Does it hurt?” he asked.
Yun Nan chuckled, “I hurt everywhere; the small pain here is negligible. What about you? Are you still dizzy?”
Shi Nian replied, “Yeah. I feel dizzy every time I move my head.”
They stopped talking and looked around. After a while, they both spoke in unison, “You…” The two then turned and smiled at each other.
Shi Nian sighed softly, “I think this little injury is worth it.” Yun Nan looked at him in confusion.
Shi Nian smiled and stared at her as he said, “Yun Nan, I want to be together with you for the rest of my life.”
‘ To h *Il with that five-year agreement!’ he vehemently thought.
Yun Nan’s face warmed. She closed her eyes and shook their joined hands, saying, “Let’s sleep for a bit.”
“Alright,” Shi Nian replied, but he insisted on holding her hand, so the two fell asleep hand in hand. When the young nurse went on her rounds to check on the patients and opened their ward door to see this scene, she quietly retreated and quickly went to the nurses’ station to share the gossip with her friends and colleagues.
Yun Liu finished filming her scenes and returned to her van to rest. Her assistant prepared hot ginger tea for her, and Yun Liu frowned.
The assistant hurriedly stated, “Yun Liu, ginger tea is good for you; it can warm your stomach, cleanse the body, and help brighten your skin tone. However, sugar isn’t good for your body, so I didn’t add any. The traditional Chinese doctor said you should watch your diet; it’ll be fine once you get used to it.”
Yun Liu took the cup of ginger tea and frowningly took a big gulp. Tan Ning got into the van and gave the assistant a look. The assistant quickly got out and closed the door.
“Your Aunt Chang Hui’s branch of the family didn’t manage to get things done,” Tan Ning whispered.
Yun Liu downed the entire cup of ginger tea, and her stomach did feel warm. Yun Liu sneered when she heard the news, “Hah, I knew it; they aren’t cut out for that kind of thing. How are they?”
Tan Ning took a sip of water before answering, “They’re in the hospital. They were seriously injured, so they won’t be able to leave for a while.”
Yun Liu was very satisfied with that. “Not bad. I’m quite happy to let her suffer a little.”
Tan Ning hesitated for a moment. She didn’t want to ruin Yun Liu’s good mood, but there was no going around it, so she told Yun Liu, “Shi Xiu joined a casting crew. She’s acting in a romance film this time. Annie adapted the script based on Yun Nan’s novel. Yun Innovations is quite focused on this film.”
Yun Liu was stunned and felt upset. She knew Yun Innovations was untouchable for now, so she had to go at it another way. “Find out who their investor is.”
“It’s Liang Zhou Pictures.” Tan Ning informed her before her eyes lit up as she suddenly had a good idea. “Yun Liu, why don’t I introduce you to Mr. Liang?
He’s Liang Zhou Pictures’ CEO and about the same age as Shi Nian. He’s rich but doesn’t advertise his wealth and is currently single.”
Yun Liu raised her eyebrows, and Tan Ning knew she was tempted, so she said, “I’ll have it arranged; wait for my message. Judging from his previous two girlfriends, Liang Han likes pretty and demure girls who’re into literature and the arts.” Tan Ning knew the likes and dislikes of these wealthy investors and producers like the back of her hand.
“Why did he break up with them?” Yun Liu asked.
“The girls were pressuring him into marriage; they wanted to get married and didn’t want to wait any longer. In doing so, they must have ruined the image of a literary girl Liang Han had of them, so he broke things off with them,” Tan Ning answered and laughed mockingly. “That young master doesn’t have a very mature outlook; he’s a little stubborn, willful, and obsessed with emotional purity.”
‘Hmm,’ Yun Liu mused before something else occurred to her. “How do Gu Fei’s older sisters and cousins plan to handle Gu Fei’s matter? They better not affect me!”
She and Tan Ning had put so much effort into organizing her family reunion banquet, but Gu Fei and Shi Xiu had ruined it and became the stars of the event. And Yun Nan, too. Yun Liu would gnash her teeth whenever Yun Nan was mentioned. She wished more than anything for an accident or something to happen to that woman so that she would die!
‘It was a shame that car crash didn’t kill her,’ Yun Liu thought venomously. She calmed herself and thought, ‘Forget about her. The most important thing right now is not to let Gu Fei’s mess affect me.’
Tan Ning smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s fine! The Shi family can’t afford such a disgrace, so they naturally did their best to seal the mouths of those media outlets. It won’t do Shi Xiu any good if this matter spreads, after all. Therefore, regardless of whether it’s the media that we hired or not, all of them can only report on the ceremony and celebration of your return to your family. All the headlines and trending searches for the past few days are ours, so I guess Gu Fei’s matter can be considered a blessing in disguise. We at least got a small compensation out of it!”
Yun Liu’s brows relaxed slightly, and she bluntly said, “This all happened because Gu Fei is an idiot! He could have solved this sort of thing with money, but he just had to go and embarrass himself. I really had to give it to him; I didn’t think it was possible to mess up so badly! I just returned to the Gu family; we can’t let him affect me!”
Tan Ning nodded in agreement. “Of course, of course… I think Gu Fei’s situation isn’t that easy to deal with. Why don’t you try to get close to Madam Bai Jie and give her some advice?”
Yun Liu rolled her eyes at her.. “And what advice can I give her?”
