Chapter 2078: You Have to Thank Me

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The script that Li Tingshen wanted was snatched away halfway.

Shen Fanxing

The matter had already been settled. The person in charge did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“CEO Li, she was only left with signing the contract with the copyright department. Who knew that CEO Shen would suddenly appear and raise the price? She signed the contract on the spot.”

Li Tingshen’s face darkened.

Not long after, Shen Fanxing called.

“I don’t think there’s anyone more superficial than you in this world.”

Li Tingshen gritted his teeth.

Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “It’s just a script. You don’t have to give me the title.”

“I feel that you should be quite busy recently and shouldn’t have time to take care of this place. Thank you, I’ll treat you to a meal when I have time.”

Li Tingshen leaned back in his chair and smirked. “A meal costs tens of millions. Do you think I’ll have indigestion?”

“You won’t be able to get anything back if I don’t eat you. But you should thank me for temporarily pulling you out from between the two women. It won’t cause you to be in a dilemma where it’s either her or her, okay?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and sneered, “… Ha, alright, I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m free.”

“You have to do me the honor.”

Li Tingshen hung up and threw his phone on the desk.

It was seamless.

Only Bo Jinchuan could handle such a woman.

Xiao Chu racked his brains but failed to persuade Ye Qingqiu. Helpless, he could only call Li Tingshen.

Hearing that she wouldn’t be discharged, he immediately knew what she was up to.

“Then fulfill her wish. She can stay there as long as she wants.”

Even Xiao Chu felt a headache.

This woman was getting harder to deal with.

“Why did you fire Chen Fei?”

Liang Xuer’s questioning voice sounded from the ward. Li Tingshen’s expression was calm.

“I’m not good at my job.”

“She’s my assistant. I should be the one feeling dissatisfied first. She’s been with me since I signed with C&P two years ago. She knows me the best and I’m used to using her. Why did you fire her without my consent? There hasn’t been any problem for the past two years…”

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly with his cold eyes.

“I know you best?”

Liang Xuer was stunned by his gaze.

“But she doesn’t seem to know me well. She made me unhappy. As her superior, do I need to see your mood to fire her?”

Liang Xuer’s domineering aura gradually dissipated.

Perhaps because he had been sick recently, Li Tingshen had indulged her too much, causing her to almost forget that he had a temper.

“How… did she make you angry?”

Li Tingshen lowered his eyes and didn’t answer.

“I’ll find someone for you again. I’ll still serve you well. You don’t have to consider so many unimportant things now. Get well first.”

Liang Xuer bit her lips and her gaze followed him.

“It’s almost noon. Aren’t you staying for lunch?”

Li Tingshen didn’t stop in his tracks. “Someone will bring lunch over later. I have something on at the company.”

At the door, his hand on the doorknob, his voice sounded again.

“Get discharged early and I’ll bring you to the restaurant.”

Liang Xuer’s bitter expression softened instantly.

“Be careful on your way.”

“Yeah.”

Opening the door, Xiao Chu was walking over with a lunchbox.

“CEO Li.”

Li Tingshen glanced at the food box in his hand and Xiao Chu hurriedly said,

“Old chicken soup, braised pork ribs, stir-fried chives, celery and pig liver, and red bean rice.”

Li Tingshen was silent for two seconds before asking, “What did you prepare for her?”

“Silver fungus soup, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried pork trotters, honey yams, and white rice.”

Li Tingshen nodded. “She’s not in a hurry. She can recover slowly.”

“… I know.”

In the end, Li Tingshen opened the door. “Send her in.”

Xiao Chu lowered her head and walked in. “Miss Liang, your lunch.”

“Thank you.”

Xiao Chu pursed her lips and placed the food box on the coffee table. Then, she watched as Liang Xuer opened the food box herself.

“Another red bean glutinous rice? I prefer plain white rice.”

Xiao Chu smiled and said, “Red bean glutinous rice is good for detoxification and reducing swelling. I’ve always heard that women eat well.”

Liang Xuer chuckled. “You know quite a lot.”

Xiao Chu chuckled and said, “I hope Miss Liang doesn’t mind.”

“The dishes today are not bad. Miss Ye, eat more pork trotters. You’ll look good if you eat too much collagen.”

Mother Wang’s words were easy to understand and Ye Qingqiu seemed to be in a good mood.

“Yes, the taste is good too.”

Li Tingshen curled his lips slightly and watched Ye Qingqiu quietly through the door. He finished his meal before turning to leave.

Silver Ears Soup didn’t like it.

It was like stir-frying vegetables.

She had eaten a lot of pork feet.

She had finished all the honey yams.

She had never eaten much rice.

But that was enough.

After staying in the hospital for three days, Li Tingshen didn’t come at all.

Ye Qingqiu ate and drank every day. She either played games on her phone or watched a few dramas. After the dramas ended, she would continue to watch them on her phone.

She did not step out of the ward.

“Miss Ye, the weather is good today. I’ll accompany you out for a walk.”

Ye Qingqiu looked up at the bright and clean weather outside the window. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and said, “No need. It’s sunny.”

Mother Wang was helpless.

At noon, Qianqian brought lunch from her apartment.

After setting the table for Ye Qingqiu, Qianqian pulled Mother Wang aside and pleaded in a low voice,

“Mother Wang, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Can you help us queue? I want to go home… Can you help me queue for three days…”

Ye Qingqiu stopped eating.

After staying in the room for a long time, the information he received was limited. He didn’t realize that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

Mid-autumn Festival…

Her eyes blinked gently.

The Mid-Autumn Festival.

Grandpa…

At last…

If she brought Linlin to celebrate the holiday with Grandpa, what would it be like?

Her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle.

She was too ashamed to face Grandpa.

She couldn’t look at Linlin.

She couldn’t bring Linlin to see Grandpa.

If Grandpa knew that she had given birth to Li Tingshen’s child, would he be angered to death?

Moreover… during the Mid-Autumn Festival, could they still be called a reunion?

After eating numbly, Mother Wang sighed. “Do you think you’re the only one who wants to?”

“Mother Wang.” Ye Qingqiu suddenly said, “Go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Mother Wang hurried to her side. “How can that do…”

“It’s okay… I’ll spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on my own.”

“This…” Mother Wang was in a dilemma. “Miss Ye, Mr Li will definitely not agree. Besides, even if you want to celebrate at home, someone has to prepare a reunion dinner for you…”

“I’m alone. There’s no need to prepare these…”
