What Jiang Xiangyang heard on the phone was correct, Fang Limin was indeed by Shen Yunfei's side. When Jiang Xiangyang called Shen Yunfei, Fang Limin was accompanying her parents to visit Shen's father in hospital.
"Brother Yunfei, how are you lately?" Fang Limin looked at Shen Yunfei's haggard face and knew that he must have been worried about his father during this period.
"Well, I'm okay. I'm their son, and these are what I should do. I just don't know when my father will wake up." Shen Yunfei felt a little distressed when he looked at his mother who was holding Li Jing and crying in the ward.
Except for the first day when my father was hospitalized, my mother cried because she was too panicked. In the past few days, my mother has been holding on and not wanting to worry too much. Maybe it was the arrival of people of the same age that made my mother show her vulnerable side.
While his father was hospitalized, Shen Yunfei heard his mother receive several phone calls, all of which seemed to be urging him to pay. Shen Yunfei had not intervened in his family's business before and knew nothing about business matters. But no matter how ignorant he is, he now knows that his business is in dire straits.
Now my father is lying on the hospital bed, and the family business is solely supported by my mother. What can I do?
"Li Min, I have something to ask you." Shen Yunfei gritted his teeth and said what he was thinking.
"What's the matter? Brother Yunfei, as long as I can help, I will do my best." Fang Limin knew what Shen Yunfei wanted her to help, so she said hypocritically.
"I heard from my parents that our family asked your family to borrow 10 million before. Your father originally agreed, but then something happened." Shen Yunfei hesitated, "I don't know, can you help persuade me?" Call your dad and ask him to agree to lend us the 10 million."
"Brother Yunfei, I've heard my parents say this," Fang Limin pretended not to, "but you also know that I can't make the final decision about our family's business."
"Well, I know my request is a bit excessive. This 10 million is not a small amount after all, so it's okay. Just pretend I didn't say it." Shen Yunfei smiled awkwardly.
"However, Brother Yunfei, I heard from my parents before that if the two of us get engaged together, they are willing to lend this 10 million unconditionally. I happen to be a little tired of being urged to get married, how about we make a Deal, let's pretend to be engaged first?" Fang Limin said half-jokingly.
Shen Yunfei's throat was tight, his eyes were fixed on the tiles on the ground, and he murmured in a low voice: "But, Limin, you know, I have a girlfriend."
Fang Limin looked at Shen Yunfei's uncomfortable look and felt that Jiang Xiangyang was extremely hateful. What good thing was there about Jiang Xiangyang that made Shen Yunfei never forget her?
Fang Limin turned her eyes and said slowly: "Brother Yunfei, I know you have a girlfriend, so what I said was pretending."
"Isn't this not good?" Shen Yunfei asked uncertainly.
"What's wrong? As long as my parents think we are engaged, they will naturally lend money to your family. Don't worry, I won't let Jiang Xiangyang know about this." Fang Limin continued to suggest.
"But, Limin, this is too unfair to you." Shen Yunfei knew that Fang Limin might have a crush on him, but he had no other intentions towards her and only regarded her as a younger sister.
"What's the point? Anyway, I'm annoyed by them urging us to get married. If I tell them that we're together, at least I can clear my ears." Fang Limin said pretending not to care.
"Li Min, let me think about it." Shen Yunfei didn't know what to choose. He wanted to be with Jiang Xiangyang, but he also had responsibilities at home that he needed to bear.
Fang Limin's family left, and only Shen Yunfei, his mother, and his father, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed, were left in the ward.
"Mom, tell me the truth, how is the business at home?" Shen Yunfei stared at his mother closely.
Shen's mother was wiping Father Shen's face with a towel. When she heard her son's words, she seemed like she could no longer control her emotions. She cried on Father Shen's body and said, "Yunfei, originally your father planned to go to some familiar places during the Chinese New Year. The president of the bank will discuss whether he can give our family more loans. Now that your father is unconscious, the bank is probably out of luck. The Fang family has no confidence either... Now our Shen family is really under pressure. Forced into a desperate situation.”
Shen Yunfei's throat made a dry sound, "Mom, is it because Fang Limin and I are engaged that the Fang family is willing to lend us money to make ends meet?"
"Yunfei, Mom knows that you like Xiangyang, but what can Xiangyang's family do to help us? You really can't force feelings, but you and Limin can cultivate it slowly."
Shen's mother continued: "But this company is your father's life-long effort, can you bear to see it destroyed in one day?" Shen's mother did not want to force her son to marry someone she didn't like, but Jiang Xiangyang's family really couldn't give her too much money. Much help.
"Mom, I know what you mean. Tell Aunt Li Jing that I agree to be engaged to Fang Limin." Shen Yunfei's voice trembled slightly, as if he was unwilling and helpless.
"Son, just think about it. Then let me talk to your Aunt Li Jing." Mother Shen looked up at her son standing beside the hospital bed. Her son had really grown up.
"Mom, before that, I still have one thing I want to do." Shen Yunfei looked out the window silently. He hadn't seen Jiang Xiangyang for a week and didn't know what she was doing during this time.
"Well, you go ahead." Mother Shen knew what her son was thinking. Since her son had agreed to get engaged to Fang Limin, it was better to make some things clear as soon as possible.
"Xiang Yang, what are you doing?" Shen Yunfei drove to the downstairs of Jiang Xiangyang's house.
"Watching TV." Jiang Xiangyang felt that he hadn't heard from Shen Yunfei for a long time, and it felt like a world away. "What about you, what are you doing?"
"I'm downstairs at your house."
After seeing Shen Yunfei's reply, Jiang Xiangyang looked down from his window and vaguely saw a figure standing under the light.
"Why are you here so suddenly?" After Jiang Xiangyang went downstairs, he slowly approached and looked at Shen Yunfei. He hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"I just miss you." Shen Yunfei's eyes stayed on Jiang Xiangyang's face, remembering the first time the two met.
"Why don't you go up and sit down? My dad is at home too?" Jiang Xiangyang felt that Shen Yunfei was a little strange tonight and didn't know what happened.
"No. I'll see you and then leave." Shen Yunfei rejected Jiang Xiangyang's proposal.
"What happened?" Jiang Xiangyang stared for a moment and asked hesitantly.
"No, Xiangyang, do you know that I love you?" Shen Yunfei and Jiang Xiangyang met their eyes and looked at Jiang Xiangyang intently.
"I know."
"Then I hope you can trust me no matter what happens."
