“Then drink more. If you recover faster, it will make me feel more at ease.”
Lu Yi placed the bowl in front of Yan Huan once again, and started to feed her spoonful by spoonful. Yan Huan had gotten used to drinking four bowls of soup every day.
“Mom didn’t look happy,” Yan Huan commented to Lu Yi. Indeed, Ye Shuyun’s face was thunderous.
“Do you think that she will take it out on your father when she gets home?” Although Ye Shuyun might not be able to beat Lu Jin in strength, but she would ultimately win by sheer obstinacy. It was the same case for Yan Huan and Lu Yi. Physically she was not Lu Yi’s opponent, but he would still succumb to her in spirit. Figuratively speaking, she could even ride him like a horse and give him a whipping.
Of course, this was all in the most innocent context possible and not to be thought of in an inappropriate way.
It was not because of gender discrimination, but rather because the men in the Lu Family were good men who doted on their wives. They were unflinchingly loyal to their partners, and thus abhorred unfaithfulness or even the thought of having an affair. Of course, Lu Qin could not be considered as a typical good man of the Lu Family.
This could not be helped as he was Qin Xiaoyue’s son. Nothing could be done about it.
“Dad will look after mom,” Lu Yi assured. He was not worried about Ye Shuyun as Lu Jin would indeed take care of her.
“By the way,” Something crossed Yan Huan’s mind. She had wanted to share the thought with Lu Yi initially, but it had been interrupted by her accident.
“What is it?” Lu Yi helped her up to prevent her from hurting her other arm.
“I want to eat that,” Yan Huan pointed at the snacks that were piled on the table. Lu Yi had bought them for her. On normal days, Yan Huan did not fancy them, but she was bored now. Thus, she would read the news, play some simple games and eat those snacks to pass time.
Lu Yi placed a bag of snacks in her arms. Yan Huan accepted and then opened it immediately to start munching on them. It has been so long since she felt so relaxed. From now on, she would just focus on recovering. She did not want to think or do anything else.
“Let’s send a billion dollars from our ‘White Fox’ earnings to your uncle. As for the remaining, I’ll keep them for future investments.”
“Hopefully the airport’s construction will be completed soon, so that we can start earning dividends.” Yan Huan knew that they should not shy away from investments now. The more investments they had, the quicker the profits would roll in. The only thing was that the Ye family was not as financially capable as the Su family, so their investments were very slow moving. In her past lifetime, the airport would have been almost ready by this time. It went on to be profitable in the next year and generated tons of money for the Su family.
Keeping all her money at hand would not benefit her much. Since she still had 400 million dollars, she could invest them into other options. For example, she still wanted to produce a New Year blockbuster. The script was already in the midst of confirmation, but she would not be involved in the filming as she had wanted to rest properly for a year.
This entire year had been spent on travelling everywhere for filming, which was very tiring. She had not even had the chance to stay at home properly for two years. To her, filming was important; but her husband was a lot more important.
So, she was not worried about her cash flow. The new year blockbuster by Linlang that would premiere next year would earn at least a billion in box office sales, at the very bare minimum. The company would be profitable no matter what. Furthermore, the company had invested in a few drama series this year. Since she had the knowledge from her past life time, she knew that they would do exceptionally well. You could say that she had Midas’s touch, anything that she invested in would definitely generate substantial returns.
Therefore, the money might as well be reinvested. If not, why was she given a second chance at life? Was it done for fun?
“Are you willing to part with it?” Lu Yi asked Yan Huan. She had invested more than a billion thus far. Now she wanted to invest another billion?
“Trust me,” Yan Huan was very confident. “Everything I invest in will be profitable. Don’t forget that this is my second lifetime.” At this moment, she waved her left hand.
“The god of rebirth must have given all those who were born again special powers. Something like a Midas’s touch or teleportation abilities. I wonder why I did not have any of these powers?”
She was still leading an honest and down-to-earth life, progressing step by step like what she did in her past lifetime.
“If you did not have Midas’s touch, how did you earn 33 billion dollars in box office sales?” Lu Yi shot back at Yan Huan.
This was what Yan Huan thought too.
Yan Huan reached for another bag of snacks. She did not want to argue with Lu Yi as she could never win against him. Lu Yi’s words were always sharp and to the point, so he was very adept at making people choke on their words.
Lu Yi pushed aside the nursing table and placed his laptop on it. “What do you want to watch?”
“Bald Head Qiang,” Yan Huan said a little sulkily. It was normal for women to throw some tantrums once in a while. It would add charm and flavor to married life anyway.
Lu Yi obeyed and switched on Bald Head Qiang for Yan Huan. Yan Huan observed that the animation was done decently as she nibbled on the snacks while watching the cartoon. After a while, she turned to Lu Yi once again.
“Why haven’t you left?” Yan Huan asked while staring at him with wide eyes.
Lu Yi had not left his chair at all as he still had to complete some work. He did not need to move anyway, as someone would send him the required documents online.
“You can deliver the money to your uncle. You know where my card is anyway, so go and make the transfer yourself.”
Yan Huan extended a hand, “Before you go, give me a few more bags of snacks. I’ll eat slowly and wait for your return.”
“Alright,” Lu Yi agreed as he stood up and ruffled her hair. He passed the snacks to Yan Huan before grabbing his car keys and got ready to leave. Since the amount was too big, it would be best if he delivered the money himself.
He glanced at his wristwatch to take note of the time. It would take at most one hour. Before he returned, the nurses in the hospital would take his place. He did not have to worry that there would be no one to take care of Yan Huan.
When he arrived, the Ye family was having dinner. However, Ye Chuji was alone. Ye Jianguo ate lightly at night so he did not eat together with the rest.
The kid Ye Xinyu had been demoted to the lowest level and was toiling away. No one knew nor care where he was suffering now. Coming to think about it, currently he must be having a hard time.
People who were attractive were usually popular. But because he was too pretty, everyone was cruel to him instead. They were worried that his beauty would cause him to go astray. What would they do if he turned gay?
When Ye Chuji saw Lu Yi, he was surprised that he came at this hour. He was eating alone and was feeling a little lonely. It would be great if someone could share his meal with him.
“Let’s eat together,” Ye Chuji quickly waved at Lu Yi to beckon him in. Everything else could wait, dinner was more important.
“Uncle, it’s okay. I’ve brought something for you,” Lu Yi spoke up. He wasn’t too hungry as he had already eaten dinner with Yan Huan in the hospital. The dishes did look tasty though. Maybe he should just relent and bring some back, since Yan Huan would love these dishes.
He could not suppress a soft chuckle when he thought of Yan Huan’s greedy expression.
Ye Chuji did not know what Lu Yi had up his sleeves. He set down his chopsticks and decided to eat later. His nephew was definitely up to something since he came at this time. He knew Lu Yi well. If there was nothing important, he would have accepted his offer for dinner without hesitation.
