Initially, Lu Jinnan's assistant didn't want to interfere, but at the thought of how Hong Jinyun's mother had been glaring at Hong Jinyun before she left, he couldn't help but feel pity for her …
He went to the hospital, silently paid Hong Jinyun's medical fees, and then left. Doing a good deed without leaving his name, he took it as learning.
However, after Hong Jinyun woke up and heard that she had already paid the fees, the first person she thought of was Lu Jinnan. After all, in Haicheng, other than Lu Jinnan, there was no one else who would care about her. She felt that Lu Jinnan was indeed the same as what she knew him to be. After hearing about her tragic experience, he wouldn't ignore her. A hint of hope rose in her heart.
To Hong Jinyun, her mother's future arrangements were gradually incomparable to her desire to occupy a place in Lu Jinnan's heart. She didn't want no one to remember her after she passed away.
Although this was very selfish, she hoped that Lu Jinnan would remember her for the rest of his life.
Hong Jinyun leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, holding onto her phone as she wrote a message to Lu Jinnan …
Hong Jinyun: Thank you for helping me pay for the treatment fees, but I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this lifetime. I'm very sorry for everything my mother did. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me! Jinnan, allow me to say it one last time. I love you!
She sent such a message, but Lu Jinnan didn't even look at it.
Sometimes, there would be spam messages from his work account, so Lu Jinnan never looked at his inbox. He basically contacted her through WeChat.
The message was like a stone sinking into the ocean. Hong Jinyun waited in the hospital until the afternoon, but Lu Jinnan didn't come to visit her. She wasn't sure what Lu Jinnan was thinking, but she couldn't send any more unnecessary messages. If she sent too many, it would make others feel that there was a deeper meaning to it.
In order to prevent the retarded Lu Jinbei from believing Cai Jingyao's words and accidentally hurting Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian went to the Kaide Corporation when the two advertisements were being aired. She also called the retarded Lu Jinbei to come over.
Before they planned to broadcast the advertisements in the employees' cafeteria and vote anonymously, they had to hold a meeting first.
This time, Lu Jinbei sat behind a group of Kaide Corporation's executives, in the secretary's seat.
When the two advertisements were played, even Lu Jinbei, a layman, could tell there was something different about them.
In the commercial that Su Manman and Shi Hanchu shot together, not only was Su Manman beautiful, but the corners of her eyes and brows were also full of arrogance, coldness, and femininity. From the time Su Manman's fingers brushed past the back of Shi Hanchu's hand, to the time Shi Hanchu couldn't see Su Manman's figure when he chased after her, and then the appearance of the Femme Fatale perfume, the entire commercial gave people a very stirring feeling. As a man, even he wanted to buy it.
As for Cai Jingyao's advertisement, there was a hint of ambiguity in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Her every move seemed to be seducing a man, and she wasn't as aloof as Su Manman. Her style was obviously inferior.
Lu Jinbei pursed his lips and recalled what Cai Jingyao had told him over the phone. The director had said that this commercial was hers, and there was no escaping it.
Lu Jinbei looked at the director. After the meeting, Lu Jinbei specially stopped the director and asked if the director was more optimistic about Cai Jingyao or Su Manman.
The director said without hesitation, "Of course it's Su Manman. Putting everything else aside … I feel that Su Manman's perfume has improved its style. As for Miss Cai's commercial, if it doesn't have Miss Su as a foil, of course it would be good, but in comparison … it's slightly inferior."
Lu Jinbei nodded. He already knew that others would probably feel the same way when they saw the commercial!
Cai Jingyao had lost the endorsement competition this time …
Bai Xiaonian was drinking her yogurt. When she saw Lu Jinbei and the director finish speaking, she politely thanked the director, then walked up to Lu Jinbei and said, "In this world, only women understand you the best. Lu Jinbei … I'm telling you the truth. I've known Cai Jingyao for a longer time than you, and I know what kind of person she is. If you don't believe me, don't cry in front of your brother when you fall!"
After Bai Xiaonian said that, she went to Lu Jinnan's office accompanied by his assistant.
Lu Jinbei was filled with anger. He wanted to go up and beat up that shameless brother of his. What should he do?
Since he knew that Cai Jingyao couldn't beat Su Manman, why did he give him this chance to leave Cai Jingyao a month later?
However, Lu Jinbei thought about it. F * ck … he couldn't beat Lu Jinnan!
Hence, Lu Jinbei could only give up.
Rather than fighting with Lu Jinnan, he might as well think about how to make Cai Jingyao happier when he got back.
When Bai Xiaonian returned to Lu Jinnan's office, she saw Lu Jinnan looking up from a pile of documents. "I told you not to persuade him, but you insisted …"
"Tell me, after he's tricked by Cai Jingyao, he'll realize that we've been tirelessly giving him all sorts of hints, but he's still rushing to be deceived. Won't that be a bigger blow to him? Since you want to teach him a lesson … "Bai Xiaonian smiled.
Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian, a doting smile in his eyes. "Alright … what you said makes sense!"
"What are we eating for lunch?" Bai Xiaonian rubbed her growing tummy and asked Lu Jinnan. Without waiting for Lu Jinnan to reply, she said, "Your son said he wants to eat egg tarts!"
"Then we'll eat it after he's born. Today's lunch will be millet porridge, chicken salad, stir-fried vegetables, and corn. The fruit will be small tomatoes!" Lu Jinnan had already made arrangements.
Bai Xiaonian was speechless.
Ever since the doctor told Bai Xiaonian to control her diet, Lu Jinnan had been very particular about it. He wished he could give Bai Xiaonian nothing to eat, afraid that his son would grow too big in his tummy and make it hard for Bai Xiaonian to give birth.
Lu Jinnan would even throw a tantrum when his father told Bai Xiaonian to eat more, saying that the child was already bigger than the average week, and his head circumference was also on the bigger side. If he continued to let Bai Xiaonian eat more, she would suffer in pain, and no one could take her place.
Later on, every time Lu Jinnan's father came home with the couple, he didn't dare to indulge in extravagant meals. The fruits he gave Bai Xiaonian … were all small tomatoes and cucumbers.
Every time Lu Jinnan's father saw Bai Xiaonian's pitiful gaze, he would hide a few cherries under the small tomatoes for Bai Xiaonian to satisfy her cravings.
Knowing that Lu Jinnan's heart ached for her, Bai Xiaonian didn't throw a tantrum at him. She merely put on a pitiful look and said to Lu Jinnan, "Then … can I add a little honey to the millet porridge?"
Lu Jinnan had a helpless look on his face. "You're only allowed to add a little. I'll do it!"
"You're the best!" Bai Xiaonian lowered her head with a bright smile, gently caressing her tummy. "Baby … your daddy is the best husband in the world, do you know that? You must strive to be such a good son in the future! "
Lu Jinnan lowered his head and looked at the boring documents, a faint smile on his lips … He wanted to chat about with more like-minded people. Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find confidants.
