Chapter 289 - "I am glad you thought of me." (2)
“That is my thought as well.” Hu Ruixue started to calm down slowly. Her eyes red and her hair messy. If it wasn’t Shu Yan but a man in the house, there would probably be some rumors. “The expert talked to me yesterday that I should try and spend more time with Duoduo. As such, I would like to delegate more of my work. There is always more money to be earned but only one chance to be with your child when they grow up.”
“My thought as well. We have already made plenty of money. It isn’t like we need a lot for food.” Their company’s net assets were already over 100 million yuan. Even half of that was still 25 million yuan for each of them. They could easily purchase dozens of houses and never had to worry about money again for the rest of their lives.
“Right. But we still need to make more,” said Hu Ruixue as she chuckled.
With Duoduo’s condition, she would not be able to take care of herself her whole life. The only way for her to have a decent life is to have more money than most. Hu Ruixue couldn’t predict how long she would live. Nobody could predict the future. She didn’t know when she will die so she needed to make sure that Duoduo would be able to live a good life after she was gone.
“We’ve been talking about taking the kids out for a while now but still hadn’t done that yet. Let’s go when the weather is nicer in a couple of days.” Shu Yan felt that she had failed JingJing and Tianbao. That being said, the weather was part of it as well. This was an odd year and that it had been raining nonstop for an entire month. They weren’t able to go out even if they had wanted to.
Shu Yan went to pick up her children at 3 PM. Aunty had taken the day off and wouldn’t be back till tomorrow.
“Mom!” Tianbao ran up happily when he saw Shu Yan.
“Be careful. Don’t fall,” said Shu Yan as she picked up Tianbao’s little hand.
“You haven’t come pick me up in a long time, Mom.” Tianbao was very happy.
Shu Yan stroked his head and the two of them went to pick up JingJing. They ran into Mother Zhang who was there picking up her grandson.
“Ah, you are picking your kids up yourself today?”
“Yeah, Aunty has the day off so I came myself.” Shu Yan took a look at the dispirited Zhang Chenghan. “What happened?”
“It’s his birthday today and he wanted his mom and dad to take him to that KFC. His dad had to work overtime and his mom, as you know, has been so busy that we have to bring her meals to her.” Mother Zhang shook her head. Her daughter-in-law was making a lot of money now but they hadn’t seen her in a long time.
Shu Yan was taken aback a little. “She has been that busy?”
She figured that Wu Xiuyue’s shop made about four to five hundred or five to six hundred sales a month. She shouldn’t be so busy that she didn’t even have time to eat.
“Yes, very busy. She had promotional activity lately and has been gone all day lately.” Mother Zhang was happy about that. She hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could live in a big house also. The house would more likely to happen if Wu Xiuyue could make money.
Promotional activity? It’s not New Year or any festivals lately. Why was she doing promotional activity?
Shu Yan wasn’t sure. She planned on checking with Zhang Huaxiu later.
When Shu Yan woke up to go to the bathroom that night, she went to check on her two children. JingJing was sound asleep. Shu Yan merely glanced at her and closed the room door again. Tianbao’s blanket had been kicked off. Shu Yan walked over and saw that his little face was beet red. She touched him and he was burning up.
“Tianbao, Tianbao…”
“Mom, I feel awful. I am so hot…” Tianbao sounded like a kitten. His voice was hoarse.
Shu Yan quickly ran over to the living room and found the thermometer. 39.6 degrees. That was high. She must take him to the hospital.
The two children were like little tigers normally and had never been sick before. Now that Tianbao was sick, Shu Yan panicked. She ran in and out multiple times and had no idea why she did that.
She looked at the time. It was 1 AM. The road from there to the hospital was not very populated still and Shu Yan didn’t feel comfortable going alone. Aunty was there either. For some odd reasons, Feng Zeyu popped into her mind.
