Since Shen Haolin's family had only had male heirs for generations and Shen Haolin was unmarried, if anything were to happen to him, even if Shen Haolin's parents didn't hold Fu Yan Ting accountable, Fu Yan Ting himself wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Now that Shen Haolin was out of danger, Fu Yan Ting's guilt could be slightly alleviated.
Shen Haolin's parents had been staying at the hospital to take care of him for the past few days.
Fu Yan Ting offered to hire a nurse to look after Shen Haolin.
However, Shen Haolin's father refused.
How could Shen Haolin's father not understand Fu Yan Ting's intentions? He explained, "Mr. Fu, I know you are wealthy, and hiring a nurse is easy for you. However, I don't want to extort you because of my son. Actually, I can tell that Shen Haolin respects you greatly as his boss. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have saved you."
Fu Yan Ting knew who Shen Haolin took after.
He took after Shen Nan.
Possessing a strong sense of righteousness, Shen Nan did not demand an exorbitant price from Fu Yan Ting just because Shen Haolin had saved him.
Nor did he extort Fu Yan Ting.
This warmed Fu Yan Ting's heart. It seemed there was still such warmth transmitted between people, and it wasn't all about scheming and plotting.
After Shen Nan finished speaking, he turned to check on Shen Haolin.
Fu Yan Ting was silent for a moment, then called Xin Yi and instructed him to transfer one of the newly built villas from their company to Shen Haolin's name.
Xin Yi naturally knew about Shen Haolin saving Fu Yan Ting, so he didn't dare to delay and immediately carried out the instruction.
Meanwhile, Shen Haolin, lying in bed, was unaware that a salary raise and a super luxurious villa awaited him.
After reconciling with Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi was bored at home all day.
The scandals online had all been resolved.
Yan Xi felt extremely bored alone. Thinking about the interactions between Tang Yi and Zheng Ze Min, and Fu Yan Ting's intention to matchmake them,
Yan Xi decided to play the role of a matchmaker.
Her relationship with Zheng Ze Min was decent, so she called him. Zheng Ze Min was quite surprised when he answered, as they rarely kept in touch. Even when he was Yan Xi's acting lawyer, they didn't meet often. Seeing Yan Xi call him now, Zheng Ze Min didn't know what she wanted.
However, he put down his work and answered the phone. After Zheng Ze Min picked up, Yan Xi began, "Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"
Yan Xi knew that as one of the top and most outstanding lawyers, Zheng Ze Min had many cases waiting for him every day, and he also had to gather evidence. Therefore, he was definitely busy. Moreover, Zheng Ze Min answered the phone two seconds late, and Yan Xi knew he was indeed very busy.
Yan Xi felt a little guilty. She wished she hadn't called and bothered him.
But now, it was too late to regret.
As Yan Xi was agonizing, Zheng Ze Min spoke, "I'm not busy. I'm still working out at the gym. What's up with your call?"
Zheng Ze Min knew that Yan Xi wouldn't call him proactively if there wasn't a reason.
Yan Xi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Was she that obvious?
She coughed twice and explained, "It's like this, you won the lawsuit for me, and I haven't thanked you properly. I wanted to treat you to a meal to thank you for winning the case."
"I took your brother's astronomical legal fees, so winning the lawsuit for you is only right. You don't need to thank me, nor do you need to treat me to a meal."
Hearing Zheng Ze Min say this, Yan Xi suddenly felt a little disappointed.
She was just bored at home and wanted to see Zheng Ze Min, to subtly inquire if he and Tang Yi had been in contact recently. Unfortunately, Zheng Ze Min didn't play into Yan Xi's gossipy intentions at all.
Just as Yan Xi was about to hang up, Zheng Ze Min spoke again, "If we're talking as classmates, then I can have a meal with you."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "How about that malatang place by the school entrance?"
"Okay, I can be there in ten minutes."
After Yan Xi hung up, she quickly tidied herself up.
When Yan Xi arrived at the school entrance, Zheng Ze Min was already there.
Yan Xi felt a little sheepish and apologized, "I'm really sorry. I'm treating you to a meal, and I still made you wait."
"It's alright, I just arrived myself."
After they exchanged a few words, they went in to eat, one after the other.
The last time they came for a meal was not long ago. Back then, Fu Yan Ting had come to cause trouble, and the owner had a very deep impression of these two.
For a moment, he didn't know what their relationship was.
They seemed like a couple, but they were just chatting, with no physical contact.
Not a couple, though? They always came together, and last time Fu Yan Ting had even come to stir up trouble.
The owner was unsure of their relationship.
However, who would refuse business that came to their doorstep?
Yan Xi and Zheng Ze Min found a table, ordered their dishes.
Yan Xi then said, "You won the lawsuit for me before, and I've always wanted to thank you in person. I was just afraid of disturbing your work and didn't contact you."
"Xi Xi, I told you, I took your brother's astronomical legal fees. Helping you win the lawsuit is what I should do. If you keep thanking me and being so polite, it will make me very uncomfortable."
Hearing Zheng Ze Min say this, Yan Xi actually felt a little more embarrassed.
After speaking, Zheng Ze Min looked at Yan Xi, wanting to ask her if Fu Yan Ting treated her well.
And if there were any mother-in-law issues.
They say noble families are like the deep sea. Yan Xi was too simple-minded, and Fu Yan Ting was usually so busy. If Yan Xi were to suffer any mistreatment in her in-laws' family, would she not say anything?
Yan Xi sensed Zheng Ze Min's hesitation and was about to ask when the owner walked over with a bowl of malatang. He simply told them to enjoy their meal and left.
After the owner left, neither of them spoke.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xi broke the silence first, looking at Zheng Ze Min, she asked, "Ze Min, do you really not have a girlfriend?"
Zheng Ze Min's eyes stiffened. He looked at Yan Xi and said calmly, "Yes, I only have someone I secretly admire."
Ah, Zheng Ze Min already had someone he secretly admired. Then Tang Yi...
It seemed Tang Yi would have to keep trying hard to gain Zheng Ze Min's favor.
Seeing Yan Xi fall silent, Zheng Ze Min quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. The person I secretly admire is already married, and her child is old enough to buy soy sauce."
