Was this something a biological mother could say?
Fang Yan felt her breathing stop.
Mrs. Qi was still talking furiously. Just as Fang Yan was hesitating whether to end this terrible call, Qi You reached out and took back her cell phone.
"Mom, I'm at the hospital."
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment and restrained her tone.
"Then come over quickly. Which hospital are you in? Mom will drive over to pick you up. Xiao You, it's okay if you're sick. Mom doesn't blame you. If President Li sees you, it might show that we're sincere. By the way, is your face injured?"
"Mom!" Qi You's voice trembled with endless grievance. "I don't want to marry him. I'm your daughter too. Can you stop forcing me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! What's President Li's net worth? If he likes you, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. You don't have to waste your youth on that lousy management company. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Qi You felt that the most hidden corner of his heart was still crushed into powder.
"For my own good…" She smiled weakly and shouted, "You might as well tell me that you're after his money! If he's so good, why don't you marry him yourself!"
Mrs. Qi was so angry that she laughed instead. "Do you think I'm so willing to be with your father, that good-for-nothing? Let me tell you, if President Li had taken a fancy to me today, I would have gone over to be his concubine. If you're really my daughter, have some ambition and don't go against money!"
Fang Yan and Qi You were even more silent after hanging up. This call had exhausted their energy.
Especially Qi You.
Before rushing to the hospital, Fang Yan was worried that Qi You would take things too hard. But now, she was also taking things too hard.
Fang Yan took two deep breaths and asked, "Who is that President Li?"
Qi You's voice was calm. "I heard that he started by selling land. He's an old man in his seventies."
Fang Yan said angrily, "What's the difference between this and selling your daughter!"
As soon as she said that, Fang Yan felt that her tone was a little harsh.
However, Qi You smiled. "She's selling me, that's exactly it. Fang Yan, when I was young, I always felt that they didn't really care about me, but I always had fantasies in my heart. Now that I can finally face reality, it's quite good."
Fang Yan really did not know how to persuade her. She asked her if she had thought of a way to deal with the child.
"It's just a matter of a few months. When the baby is born, they don't have to raise it. But Yanyan, you must not tell them. My mother, that crazy woman… She'll definitely think of ways to abort the child!"
Fang Yan comforted her.
"What about Ren Yuan? Does he know?"
Qi You shook her head gently. Seeing Fang Yan frown, she promised, "Yanyan, I know you think I'm being impulsive, but Ren Yuan and I are not what you think. My parents are married in a business marriage. They are together for money, but we are not! Ren Yuan and I are truly in love!"
"It's just that his career is on the rise now. He can't withstand the pressure of public opinion to get married and have a child. He won't agree to me having this child. Yanyan, help me again and tell him later, okay?"
"Fine."
The two of them chatted for a while more before Ren Yuan came over tightly.
He was wearing black clothes, black pants, and a hoodie. A pair of sunglasses covered most of his face.
It was a stark contrast to Fang Yan's magnanimity.
However, Ren Yuan was a sweet talker, and Qi You enjoyed it very much. She immediately perked up.
Fang Yan took a deep look at Ren Yuan. Ren Yuan did not take off his sunglasses, but Fang Yan knew that he was also looking at her.
"Sister Fang Yan, thank you for taking care of Youyou."
Ren Yuan's voice sounded sincere and affectionate. As expected of a good seedling in the entertainment industry, Fang Yan thought.
Fang Yan averted her gaze and looked at Qi You. "Rest here first. I'll go get your medicine before leaving."
"Yanyan," Qi You called out to Ho Jiayan and asked softly, "You said that the food was bought by Director Cheng. Are you guys together too?"
Fang Yan did not reply. She did not know how to explain the marriage certificate in her bag and the misuse of the word "too" by Qi You.
She did not want to compare Ren Yuan to Cheng Zheng.
Qi You took it as Ren Yuan's best friend being embarrassed. "Yanyan, you must choose well. Marry the person you truly love and live happily ever after."
