Previously, there were problems with the supermarket's goods supply, which left the family in debt. Later, her father had no choice but to borrow usury to pay off the debt, but it was only a temporary solution. Now even her father was hospitalized, and Rui Li had to go back and handle everything on her own.
"What do you plan to do?" Mo Beichen asked.
"I'll transfer the supermarket to someone else," Rui Li said calmly.
"Okay, then let's go." Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Xia Weilan said with a hint of unease, "Husband, are we really just going to watch Rui Li's family go bankrupt?"
The debt that was a big deal to Rui Li was just a drop in the bucket for Mo Beichen.
"Don't worry. Since Nan Fengyan knows about this, he won't stand by and do nothing. Rui Li won't let me interfere, but Nan Fengyan will surely secretly step in," Mo Beichen said confidently.
Xia Weilan thought of Nan Fengyan, who was so sick yet still looked blissfully pathetic, and sighed.
"Do you think Rui Li will fall for Nan Fengyan?" Xia Weilan asked.
"It's not impossible," Mo Beichen replied.
If it were before, he wouldn't have been so sure. But thinking of Rui Li's absent - minded look outside the emergency room, he thought there was a chance.
In the hospital ward, Nan Fengyan was having his temperature taken by a nurse. He took the opportunity to say to the nurse, "Why do I feel the painkillers aren't working? My foot feels all numb and tingly."
The nurse explained, "It seems the effect of the anesthetic has worn off. You have to bear with it for a while. I'll give you painkillers later."
Nan Fengyan was really uncomfortable. He asked the nurse if there was anything wrong with his leg. Fortunately, the nurse said he just needed to rest for a month.
Only then did Nan Fengyan truly relax.
Just then, Nan Fengyan's phone rang with a text message.
"Master, the information you asked for has been found out. Rui Li's company has recently had financial problems. She's now selling off the company's assets, and they've been put up for auction. Also, Rui Li's father was hospitalized due to a heart attack."
Nan Fengyan didn't expect Rui Li's family situation to be so serious. He immediately replied, "Buy it no matter what."
When Rui Li came in, she saw Nan Fengyan playing with his phone and didn't think much of it. She just walked over, put the congee she brought on the table, scooped up a bowl, and handed it to Nan Fengyan.
"You still have the mood to play. Drink the congee!"
Nan Fengyan looked at her while drinking the congee. Seeing her calm expression, which didn't seem like someone with troubles, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"I've rented an apartment nearby. I'll take care of you until you're better," Rui Li said, standing quietly beside him. Another reason was that her father was also in this hospital, so it was convenient for her to take care of both.
"You should go back and rest first," Nan Fengyan said, seeing her calm but haggard look.
"Okay." Rui Li gently closed the door. She felt like bad luck had been following her lately. She climbed the stairs and walked to her father's ward. Her father had a heart condition, and the recent high stress had finally worn him out.
Rui Li saw her father's peaceful sleeping face through the window. She quietly opened the door and softly called her mother.
Her mother came out and softly asked, "Why are you here? How's the company?"
"Mom, the company can't be saved. I'll sell it," Rui Li said.
Rui Li thought her mother would be disappointed, but unexpectedly, she seemed relieved. "That's good. You don't have to worry about the company all the time. Your father hasn't been sleeping well."
"Mom, I've paid off the debt. Tell Dad to rest assured and recover. And don't tell him about the company for now. I'm afraid he won't be able to take the shock."
"Okay, okay. That's good. Mom knew you were capable."
Rui Li talked to her mother for a while and then went to the nearby apartment. After a quick wash, she flopped onto the bed. Her mind was filled with the scene of Nan Fengyan on the verge of death on the road. She tossed and turned restlessly and finally fell asleep at three in the morning.
The next day.
Rui Li woke up at eight. She sat up abruptly, quickly washed up, and rushed to the hospital. On the way, her phone received a transfer of forty million. Rui Li picked up her phone and was shocked.
The source was the auction house.
Immediately after, her phone rang.
"Ms. Xia, your company has been sold. The full payment has been made. Have you received it?"
"Yes, I have, manager. But why was it sold for such a high price?"
Originally, Rui Li had expected an income of twenty million.
"Hehe, in an auction, if there are bidders, the price will naturally be high," the manager said with a laugh. In fact, someone had simply bid the price up so high. That person was like a nouveau - riche.
"Thank you then." As Rui Li was speaking, she had already reached Nan Fengyan's ward.
She put away her phone, opened the door, and was stunned by what she saw. Nan Fengyan, who had gotten out of bed, was limping and holding on to the table to move.
"What are you doing!" Rui Li raised her voice and immediately rushed over to support Nan Fengyan.
Nan Fengyan took the opportunity to put his hand on her waist. When he looked down and saw Rui Li's fair and pure face, his heart skipped a beat.
"I... I need to go to the bathroom!"
Rui Li paused for a moment and then calmly supported him to the bathroom door, about to send him in.
"No, I can do it myself!" Nan Fengyan quickly stepped back and closed the bathroom door. He let out a cheeky laugh, feeling as if his whole body was filled with the smell of grass on Rui Li.
Early in the morning, Xia Weilan was in a daze, feeling a bit uneasy. It was because last night, Mo Beichen had found out that his car had indeed been tampered with.
She didn't know if the person was targeting Mo Beichen or Nan Fengyan.
Xia Weilan looked worriedly at herself in the mirror, and a person came to her mind, Ouyang Mingqi.
She always knew that Ouyang Mingqi was ruthless. Was it him who was trying to take Mo Beichen's life this time?
But Xia Weilan wasn't sure because she had no evidence at all. So she was wavering in her mind.
Xia Weilan absent - mindedly got herself ready and then went downstairs. In the downstairs hall, Mo Beichen was sipping his morning tea as if nothing had happened.
"Have breakfast!" Mo Beichen said to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan sat at the table and noticed Mo Beichen's used chopsticks beside her.
Just then, Mo Beichen suddenly stood up.
"Husband, are you going to the company so early?"
"Yes, there's something at the company. I'll go and handle it first," Mo Beichen replied calmly.
"Husband, wait for me for two minutes. I'll be done soon!" Xia Weilan quickly took a big gulp of the white porridge. Usually, Mo Beichen would drive her to work since their companies were just opposite each other.
"You can ask the driver to take you. I'll leave first."
With that, Mo Beichen picked up his coat and walked out.
