Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 62 – Equally boring as him
She never really celebrated her birthday. Her mother had suffered a severe head injury and had a poor memory, often forgetting her own birthday. Xiang-Nuan didn't care much either; she would just visit her mother at the nursing home on her birthday, chat with her for a bit, and consider it a celebration.
Two years ago, after she got together with Shen Yanshi, she never mentioned her birthday. She never wanted to trouble him with such things.
But on her birthday, Shen Yanshi gave her a gift. It was Assistant Lin who reminded him that it was her birthday, so he had Assistant Lin buy a gift.
It was a pink diamond bracelet. To be honest, Assistant Lin had good taste. If Shen Yanshi had chosen it himself, he would have picked something in black, white, or gray.
Last year, in December, Shen Yanshi was on a business trip in Tokyo. He was supposed to return after New Year's, but he finished his work early and came back on the night of her birthday on the 20th.
He gave her a wooden mechanical rabbit. This time, it seemed he had chosen it himself. The rabbit was as stiff and uninteresting as he was.
Though he said he was spending her birthday with her, he didn't do anything special. Apart from giving her a gift, there was nothing else, not even a cake.
They spent the day so plainly that Xiang-Nuan easily forgot he had spent her birthday with her.
"Nuan-Jie, we're here."
"Mm."
Xiang-Nuan put on her hat and mask, opened the car door, and got out, walking into the nursing home.
The nurse at the reception desk saw her and updated her on Xiang Hui's recent condition.
"Aunt Xiang has been quite stable lately. She even talks to us about you, seems to remember some things."
"Thank you."
"But recently, someone has been looking for her."
Xiang-Nuan was startled, "Who?"
"A man, a middle-aged man, looked a bit fierce. He said he was Aunt Xiang's husband and asked if we had a patient named Xiang Hui. You told us last month not to let Aunt Xiang see any outsiders, so we didn't let him in and told him there was no such person."
Xiang-Nuan felt a chill run through her body.
Zhao Chenggang was indeed looking for Xiang Hui.
She remembered the harsh words he had said when he found her on set over a month ago.
He wouldn't give up easily this time. He wanted to find Xiang Hui and take revenge on them!
Xiang-Nuan hurriedly said, "Please don't tell him my mom is here! He has nothing to do with my mom."
"Okay, don't worry. We already turned him away last time. This is a high-end nursing home; we won't let anyone in without permission. Rest assured, Miss Xiang."
"Thank you."
Xiang-Nuan still felt uneasy and went to the ward to see Xiang Hui first.
Xiang Hui was reading a book in bed. She used to love reading before she got married. She was a literary youth whose articles had been published in newspapers. But after marriage, she didn't even dare to buy books, living a life of mundane chores, serving her husband and raising her daughter while enduring her husband's abuse.
It wasn't until Zhao Chenggang left that she finally had such peaceful days.
Xiang-Nuan stood at the door, looking at Xiang Hui, feeling a pang of sorrow.
Xiang Hui seemed to notice her gaze and looked up, her eyes lighting up, "Nuan-Nuan, you're here?"
Xiang-Nuan swallowed the lump in her throat and forced a smile, "I came to see you."

"Have you been too busy with work lately? If you're too tired, don't push yourself. Take a break. You've lost weight." Xiang Hui said, holding her hand with concern.
"I know, I'll take good care of myself."

Qin-An was recently overwhelmed. He had approached several other companies for cooperation projects, but almost every time they were close to sealing the deal, the other party would back out.
And the reason was always the same: the other company offered a lower price.
"Bang!" Qin Zhanghui slammed his hand on the table, pointing at Qin-An angrily, "Is this your great work? How long has it been, and you haven't secured a single project! You asked me to trust you and hand over the company to you, and this is what you show me?"
Qin-An clenched his fists tightly, his head hanging low.
"Alright, alright, An'er didn't do it on purpose. He's been so busy he hasn't even had time to eat. You've seen it yourself..." Madam Qin tried to calm her husband.
Qin Zhanghui retorted angrily, "What good does it do for me to see it? I've invested almost everything we have into Huisheng Trading, and it's been losing money. Not a single project has been secured. If this continues, our Qin family is finished!"
"It's not that serious. It's just a few orders we didn't get. We can put in more effort and find others."
"Idiot! Still thinking of finding others? Haven't you realized by now? Someone is trying to ruin us!"
