As he watched her car drive away, he was about to return to his car when he received a call from her.
"What's wrong? You've only been gone for two minutes and you're already missing me? "Li He was full of smiles.
He Fang said, "Don't be so talkative. Liu Bo just called to say that Wang Hui is sick. Let's go see her when we're free."
"What's wrong?" Li He asked. From what he remembered, Wang Hui had always been in good health.
He Fang said, "Acute intestinal obstruction. I had a minor operation."
Li He said, "That's good. It's not a serious illness. You should go see her when you're free."
"Go ahead. I don't have much time. I have a meeting in the afternoon." He Fang then told him the address of the hospital and said, "Don't go empty-handed."
"Got it." Li He hung up. "Motherf * cker. She's even competing with the hospital."
He asked Qiu Liang to drive and went straight to the hospital where Wang Hui was.
He bought two catties of apples at the entrance of the hospital and held them in his hand.
In the ward, only Wang Hui was lying alone on the bed. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Li He felt a lump in his throat.
"Why are you here?" Wang Hui's face was very pale. When she saw Li He, she was obviously happy.
"Boss Wang, what's the meaning of this? Of all times, you got sick on my 40th birthday." Li He threw the apple on the cabinet and said sloppily, "What's wrong? Are you feeling better?"
"You're 40 …" Wang Hui sighed.
"Yeah, you're forty …" He was interrupted by Wang Hui halfway through his sentence. Wang Hui said, "If you dare say it out loud, I'll definitely tear you apart."
"Don't, don't get too worked up." Li He asked with a smile, "What did the doctor say?"
Wang Hui said disdainfully, "It's just a minor operation. It's not a big deal."
Li He asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Liu Bo is the only one who knows. I didn't expect him to call you." Wang Hui shook her head helplessly. "Zhao Yongqi and Gao Aiguo came yesterday."
"Didn't you find a friend to accompany you? It's inconvenient to be alone. "Li He sat on the edge of the bed and handed her a glass of water.
She drank some water and smiled. "You know, I don't have many friends, but you happen to be one."
Li He joked, "Old Zhao and the others will definitely not be happy to hear that."
Wang Hui said, "A classmate can become a friend. A friend is a friend, but a colleague can only be a colleague."
Li He said, "Why don't you find one for yourself? Do you really plan on living like this for the rest of your life? "
"Marriage is not difficult. What is difficult is how to live a long life without feelings." Wang Hui said faintly, "I missed love when I was young. What else can I ask for now? It's fine to be alone. "
"So pessimistic all of a sudden? That's not like you. " Li He took the glass of water from her hand and put it back on the table. Then he asked, "Shall I peel an apple for you?"
"There's no need. The doctor said that I can't eat too much." Wang Hui smiled and said, "Actually, I'm the happiest in school. I miss it."
Li He said, "You can't miss it. That means you're getting old. In my opinion, you can find someone who's around the same age. You don't have to be so picky. "
He still wanted to persuade her a little more.
Wang Hui said, "I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I don't regret not getting married. I just regret not having children. Especially when I was hospitalized this time, I had a feeling that when I'm old and lying in bed, I don't have any children by my side. How sad would that be? Just thinking about it makes me shudder."
"So, you'd better find one. You won't be too lonely when you're old." Li He thought that Wang Hui had been moved by his words.
"When I'm old, I have nothing. I'm just a useless person. We have an old cadre," Wang Hui said to herself, "He never had any children. He only had bodyguards and nannies by his side. But now that he's old and retired, everyone can't get anything from him. He's in a wheelchair and is forced to participate in activities, take photos, show his face, and so on.
Don't you think it's sad? "
"Sad." Li He smiled and said, "If I were to end up like that, I'd bite my tongue and commit suicide."
Wang Hui said faintly, "I'm afraid that this day will come."
Li He smiled and said, "I'm younger than you. I'll be behind you in the future. I'll take care of you."
"Forget it. I don't dare to trouble you." Wang Hui patted him and said, "Hey, I'm actually quite envious of you. You can live according to your own ideas. It's quite good."
"Missy, don't flatter me. You're from a cadre family. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth." That was a proper second-generation cadre. How could Li He compare himself to her? "Eight generations of my ancestors were peasants. You know the situation. Before I went to university, I didn't even have enough to eat. How dare you compare yourself to me?"
Wang Hui said, "I'm just an ordinary cadre. It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm the only child in my family. Since I was young, they've placed a lot of expectations on me. Now, I've let them down. I've been avoiding them year after year. I don't dare to see them. Can you understand how sad I am?"
"I understand." He was a man in his twenties. His mother was already crying and wiping her tears when he was still unmarried, let alone an unmarried woman in her forties!
Her parents were so anxious that their hair turned white.
"They say that they forgive and understand my choice, but they're not happy in their hearts. I hope they'll give me a good scolding." Wang Hui smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do anything about it."
He could feel the bitterness in her heart.
"I'll hire a caregiver for you. You can't be alone. It's inconvenient for you to eat and bathe. "
"Thank you. I can be discharged tomorrow." Wang Hui shook her head. "It's not a major operation."
She looked at Li He and continued, "I won't delay your business. Go do your own thing. You're the richest man in the country. You can earn tens of millions every minute. Don't waste your time here."
"You can cancel me too." Li He smiled bitterly and said, "Money is just a number to me now. Besides, after the group is on the right track, my role in it is very small. I don't need to care about it."
"If you don't say that, we can still be friends. I hope I can have the confidence to say that in the future." Wang Hui said, "I carefully spend our monthly salary alone."
Li He smiled and said, "When you want to resign or retire, I'll hire you as a public relations consultant. It won't be a problem for you to earn a few million a year."
"Provoke me?" Wang Hui asked.
"I didn't mean that. I won't say it then." Li He shook his head helplessly.
After coming out of the hospital, he saw Dong Hao standing next to Qiu Liang.
"You're so free?"
Dong Hao said, "I came to report something to you."
"Go ahead." Li He couldn't help but take a cigarette from Qiu Liang's hand and lit it. He wanted to hear what was worth Dong Hao coming here in person.
