Fu Han smiled. “I just did what I should have done. I don’t need any repayment. I have to leave since you are here, so I’ll be going now.”
After speaking, she didn’t wait for Nan Qing’s parents to say anything and left the ward directly.
Accidentally, she ran into Su Cheng who had just returned from paying the fees. Fu Han briefly explained the situation in the ward before heading downstairs to wait for Su Cheng.
As soon as Su Cheng appeared at the entrance of the ward, Lady Huangpu immediately praised him. “Xiaocheng, you saved Xiaoqing today. Her affection for you hasn’t been in vain.”
“Mom, do you think I saved her because she likes me?” Su Cheng’s face turned cold. He placed all the payment receipts on the table. “You take care of my sister. I have something else to attend to and must leave.”
Su Cheng never humiliated Lady Huangpu in front of others. However, he had already confronted her directly twice, both yesterday and today, and left without saying goodbye.
Lady Huangpu’s eyes reddened. “Xiaocheng has never been like this before. What kind of vixen is this Fu Han, turning my son against me?”
Lady Nangong appeared thoughtful. “But I don’t find that Fu Han so dislikeable.”
“Of course you don’t find her dislikeable, she saved your daughter,” Lady Huangpu said irritably, her dignified face still angry.
Lady Nangong wanted to say more, but Mr. Nangong discreetly touched her arm and shook his head almost imperceptibly.
…
In H City, the “Yearn for Return” crew, 1:50 PM.
The opening ceremony was ready and was very grand.
Everyone from the crew, both in front and behind the scenes, was there, waiting to participate in the opening ceremony.
Xia Ning bustled through the crowd, lifting her skirt, and asking anyone she caught if they had seen He Xing.
Eventually, she found He Xing talking with the director. She smiled at the director, who immediately took the hint and walked away.
Xia Ning ran up to He Xing and stood before him, looking up with a sweet smile. “Big Brother He Xing, Fu Han has not arrived yet. She is going to be late for the opening ceremony. Isn’t that disrespect?”
He Xing glanced over Xia Ning with a flat gaze. “Liang Tao called. She’s got some issues.”
“Issues?” Xia Ning pouted coquettishly. “But today is the opening ceremony. No matter how big her issues, shouldn’t she, as the chief photographer, attend the ceremony?”
He Xing raised an eyebrow slightly. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Under his gaze, Xia Ning felt a little embarrassed and coughed, but remembering the opportunity she couldn’t miss, she pretended to be indifferent. “I mean no offense. I just think that this movie is very important to you, but if our photographer behaves like this, wouldn’t it hold us back? So… maybe we should find another photographer. I know many famous ones I can introduce to you.”
He Xing’s eyes turned colder. “So you’re saying there’s a problem with my choice?”
At that moment, the air around them went quiet.
In the dead of winter, large sweat beads slid down Xia Ning’s forehead. She frantically waved her hands, “Of course not. In my heart, you are amazing. You restored He Group’s stock prices to their previous levels in less than a month. I was just… I just…”
She couldn’t come up with an explanation and, due to her anxiety, her makeup had smeared, making her look particularly ridiculous.
“Heh!” He Xing scoffed coldly. “You simply find Fu Han unpleasant. There’s nothing wrong with saying that. Hasn’t it always been that way for years?”
Although He Xing was speaking the truth, Xia Ning was shocked. Knowing something in your heart was one thing, but having it stated outright was quite different.
Xia Ning’s lips trembled, and for a moment, she didn’t even know where to put her hands. She merely mumbled her explanation, “I didn’t… I just don’t quite like the way she handles things.”
“And…” He Xing didn’t listen to Xia Ning’s words and continued coldly, “Pass a message to your father for me. If he continues to focus so intently on He Group, then I will have no choice but to reciprocate in kind.”
At that moment, Xia Ning’s face could only be described as deathly pale, and it was only then that she finally realized what she had actually said.
During the Global Photography Competition, Xia Guoxiong managed to get a photo of a drunken Xia Ning being cared for by He Xing projected onto the big screen, resulting in He Xing being criticized for two-timing, which directly caused a serious drop in He Group’s stock prices.
The board members panicked and spontaneously went to He Group’s headquarters demanding a board meeting, where He Xing promised to restore the stock prices to a normal level within a month.
In just twenty days, He Xing secured investments for “Yearn for Return,” and successfully brought the company’s stock prices back to a normal level, but this was internal company business. He Group had not yet announced this to the public, and normally, Xia Ning would not know.
When Xia Ning finally snapped back to reality, the opening ceremony had already officially begun. Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe, playing the lead roles, stood in the center, with no one caring about her, the second female lead.
She watched Bai Wei surrounded by the crowd with resentment. That was her spot, yet it was taken by this woman who came out of nowhere, and worst of all, the woman did not know any better.
Xia Ning had previously lowered herself to approach Bai Wei, hoping she would request a change of photographer as the lead actress, only to be harshly rebuffed by Bai Wei.
Angrily, Xia Ning stood still on the spot.
The crowd buzzed around her, yet no one stopped. Everyone treated her as if she were invisible, except for her assistant Qin Xiaonian, who stood behind her holding her water cup and sun umbrella.
The director announced the start of shooting, and Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe were promptly taken away by makeup artists.
Qin Xiaonian withdrew her gaze and said softly, “Miss, you don’t have scenes scheduled today. Would you like to go back and rest first?”
“Where is He Xing?” Xia Ning searched the crowd, regretting that she had fixated on Bai Wei and now had no idea where He Xing had gone.
“I… I don’t know,” Qin Xiaonian responded, head bowed to avoid Xia Ning’s gaze. Her time as Xia Ning’s assistant had been brief, but she was already well acquainted with Xia Ning’s temperament.
Sure enough, Xia Ning’s hand swung toward Qin Xiaonian’s forehead. “What good are your eyes if you know nothing?”
Qin Xiaonian dared not speak more, only lowering her head to apologize, “I’m sorry, Miss. I will pay more attention next time.”
“Pay attention? To what?” Xia Ning snapped. “Do you actually want to keep an eye on He Xing every day? Do you believe I would gouge out your eyes?”
Qin Xiaonian said nothing more, but her face showed clear reluctance, something Xia Ning failed to see with the assistant’s head bowed.
