CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: PRESS CONFERENCE (2)

Back in the ward, Ye Xinluo was sitting on the hospital bed, with an IV drip in her hand.

"Did the doctor come by just now?" Shanshan put the shopping bag on the cabinet and looked up at the IV drip. It seemed it had just been started.

Although Ye Xinluo’s complexion had recovered a bit, her body was still very weak, and with anemia, she needed an IV every day.

"Yes." Ye Xinluo nodded. "Why were you gone for so long?"

"I went to buy some fruit. Which one do you want to eat? I’ll help tidy it up for you," Lan Shan said, opening the shopping bag for her to see.

"Apple," Ye Xinluo said lightly. She usually ate a lot of apples and grapes, which Lan Shan knew, so she bought some of both.

Lan Shan took an apple and some grapes, washed them both, put the grapes on a plate, and then sat down by the bed.

She handed the grapes to her, then picked up a fruit knife to peel the apple.

Ye Xinluo picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste suited her palate, so she ate a few more.

Lan Shan finished peeling the apple, cut it into slices, placed them in a fruit dish, and then handed a piece to Ye Xinluo with a toothpick.

"Thank you." Ye Xinluo accepted the apple and took a bite. It was crisp with a good texture.

"You should have some too."

"Okay." Lan Shan nodded and also picked up a piece of apple to eat.

After a while, Lan Shan finally spoke, "Xinluo, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Ye Xinluo paused her action of eating the apple. Seeing Lan Shan’s serious expression, she couldn’t help but become serious too. "Did something happen?"

Lan Shan rarely showed such a serious expression in front of her, which made Ye Xinluo ask with some concern.

"Xinluo, when I was at the supermarket just now, a journalist friend of mine called me," Lan Shan said after some thought.

"What did they say?" Ye Xinluo asked in confusion.

"Xinluo, I think what you guessed might be true," Lan Shan sighed and said.

"What? I don’t understand what you mean." Ye Xinluo was a bit bewildered. Her words were disjointed, making it difficult to grasp.

Lan Shan thought about it and decided to tell her. Taking a deep breath, she said, "My friend told me that Beichen Group issued a notice. They’re holding a press conference tomorrow at ten in the morning in the banquet hall on the first floor of Beichen Group."

Ye Xinluo paused her movements and said, "Holding a press conference? Why so sudden?"

"I’m not sure. I also heard that over a hundred media outlets have been invited," Lan Shan said.

"So, what are you trying to say?"

Having known Lan Shan for so long, she could hear the underlying message, so she asked directly.

"I suspect that Beichen Group is going to announce something major, and that something is..."

Lan Shan didn’t finish, but Ye Xinluo understood what she meant.

"Jingxi."

Lan Shan nodded. She thought the same. Other than this, she couldn’t think of anything else.

Ye Xinluo was stunned for a moment, the news came too suddenly, and she couldn’t process it.

After regaining her composure, she made as if to get out of bed. Lan Shan quickly stopped her, "You’re still on an IV drip, what are you doing?"

If she’d known she’d react this strongly, she wouldn’t have told her.

"Shanshan, I need to find Beichen Rui. He can’t announce it. Jingxi is my son, not his." Ye Xinluo’s tone was very agitated.

Jingxi is her son. How could that man publicly announce it without her consent?

How could he just show up and try to take her son away from her?

"Xinluo, calm down." Lan Shan used a lot of strength to help her lie back down on the bed.
