The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 527: The outside is in complete chaos
"Tsk tsk, you two really are... It’s chaos outside, and you’re just sitting here leisurely."
He placed the bouquet of champagne roses and the fruit basket he bought for Munni on the bedside table, then walked to the sofa and sat in the single-seater next to them.
"Why is it chaotic?"
"The Bai Family went bankrupt, Bai Sitong imprisoned, you’re hospitalized... Now there are a bunch of reporters outside the hospital waiting to interview you."
Munni pouted, not too concerned as she was already aware of these things.
"By the way, sis, how are you? Feeling better?"
Jiuchen then nervously stared at Munni sitting on the sofa beside him.
Munni nodded, "Much better, at least I’m alive."
With her mood much calmer, her words came off as carefree.
Her calm demeanor truly impressed Jiuchen, "When I heard the news yesterday, I was terrified. I was afraid something would happen to you and Yisen would be left alone forever."
Munni disdainfully glanced at Xu Yisen beside her, jokingly said, "Oh, come on, after our funeral, you’d probably throw Yisen a single’s party that night and host a wife selection event for him the next day."
As her words ended, Xu Yisen looked at her with slight discontent, reminding her, "Don’t say such ominous things, you have to accompany me to a ripe old age."
The intimacy in their words made Jiuchen feel quite redundant for a moment, "Hey hey hey, there’s a single person here, don’t sprinkle dog food everywhere."
Xu Yisen naturally ignored Jiuchen’s protest, affectionately patting Munni’s head, "I’ll go check on Grandma, you chat with Jiuchen for now."
"Mm."
Granny Xu’s hospitalization had been kept low-key, so much so that Jiuchen was surprised to hear Xu Yisen mention it, he asked, "Grandma is hospitalized too? What happened?"
Xu Yisen explained gently, "Two days ago she fainted at home due to low blood sugar and was sent to the hospital. Luckily, it’s nothing serious."
"That’s good, I’ll visit her later."
"Mm." Xu Yisen nodded, got up from the sofa, left the ward, and went to the next room to see Grandma.
And Jiuchen, after watching Xu Yisen leave the ward, couldn’t help but glance at the bouquet of champagne roses and fruit basket he’d placed on the bedside table earlier.
Someone as insightful as Munni naturally noticed his small intention, she chuckled, "It’s not good to visit Grandma empty-handed, you might as well send that bouquet and fruit basket over later."
"Is that alright?"
"No problem."
Jiuchen grinned, "You get me."
"Oh, please."
Jiuchen chuckled, then naturally shifted the topic, "After the news of you almost being assassinated by Bai Sitong was exposed yesterday, investors in her father’s company demanded to withdraw their investments.
You know, her father’s company has had endless loopholes recently and needs a lot of money to fill them. At this critical moment, where is there any money to return to those investors?
Both sides were at a stalemate for a long time, and eventually, someone reported her father’s company to the prosecutor’s office, leading to an immediate investigation which uncovered many problems.
The pressure from both the investors and the prosecutors forced her father to announce bankruptcy.
Bai Sitong’s father went bankrupt really out of desperation, after decades of family business going downhill in his hands, which dealt him quite a blow.
