Chapter 1523: Chapter 1522: Applied to Oneself

Xia Xi laughed heartily and said, "This bait is quite big. No matter who it is, they’re bound to be tempted."

It was just a short period, yet such a price was achieved. If this continues to develop, the Li Corporation’s branch is sure to reap both fame and fortune.

Such a thing, not to mention the noble families, even the aristocratic families would feel a pang of envy.

Gu Tong pursed her lips indifferently, saying, "Li Yan’s position is awkward, and Gong Qingwan won’t let him take all the credit alone. So we’ll see how she maneuvers, what new tricks she’ll play to adapt this money-making project to her advantage."

They’re all waiting for the tide to turn; as soon as the other side makes a move, they will act.

Everything seems to be very much in order.

They are like hunters, closely watching their prey. Before the prey acts, they must not reveal their hunting equipment.

’Ring ring ring—’

The phone rang several times.

The particularly abrupt sound echoed in the ward, disrupting the original tranquility.

The three exchanged glances and finally set their eyes on the table.

Gu Tong picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

On the other end, Feng Ruyue said nervously, "Tong girl, I heard you were hospitalized, is it quite serious?"

Hospitalized? Serious?

Gu Tong frowned and said, "Auntie, why say that? How did you know?"

Feng Ruyue, tense, said, "I’m at the Wang Family banquet and ran into the Li Family’s second wife. She told me you were hospitalized and it seems quite serious, so I called you."

The second wife is none other than Gong Qingwan.

Her news is quite up-to-date, she could know about Gu Tong’s hospitalization in such a short time.

Fortunately, they are at the Safe Hospital, heavily guarded, and no one dares to leak information, so Gong Qingwan still doesn’t know about Gu Tong’s pregnancy.

Precisely because of this, at the banquet, she probed Feng Ruyue to see if the latter knew anything.

Gu Tong understood and said, "Auntie, don’t worry, my health is fine. I’m just at the hospital for a temporary rest."

Feng Ruyue couldn’t stay calm, saying, "If there’s nothing wrong, why go to the hospital for a rest? Are you hurt and afraid to tell your family? Tong girl, don’t be afraid, no matter the issue, tell me. No matter how big the problem, our Feng Family will back you."

Feng Ruyue’s temperament is intense; she spoke with a fiery tone, raising the pitch as if deliberately for those around her to hear.

Don’t think that because Gu Tong is from the East District, she can be bullied at will. Her family is still in Shoucheng, plenty of people to support her.

Gong Qingwan stood nearby, holding a wine glass. She frowned slightly but didn’t react much, as if everything was perfectly justified.

Gu Tong couldn’t help but feel touched. She knew that Feng Ruyue was doing all this for her and so she said deliberately, "Auntie, please rest assured, I am quite well, truly nothing serious. By the way, Auntie, which banquet are you attending?"

The Wang Family banquet, she hadn’t heard of it before.

Feng Ruyue glanced at Gong Qingwan, then moved outside, saying, "The Wang family’s daughter got into university, inviting family friends for a celebration. I’m representing the Feng family here, and the Li family sent their second wife."

This group of juniors indeed doesn’t mingle in the social circle, having just arrived in Shoucheng, they’re unfamiliar with the place and people, thus haven’t interacted with many families yet.
