Wen Li held the phone and said nothing.

An Wen waited for a while and asked her, "What do you want to talk to Brother Yuanchen about? He is not very convenient tonight."

The words were spoken politely, but the smugness in his tone could not be concealed.

Wen Li slowed down and said coldly, "Ask Huo Yuanchen to call me back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.

She was quite angry, but not because Huo Yuanchen ran to find An Wen after quarreling with her.

She was angry that she had messed up the plan. If she could have held back her anger, she wouldn't have pushed him towards Anwen.

She became even more depressed when she thought that he was going to spend the night at An Wen's place.

She was staying at her parents' house tonight and was sitting in her little room sulking, not noticing Hu Huifen pushing the door open.

"Wen Li, what are you doing?" Hu Huifen asked her.

"Nothing." Wen Li saw that Hu Huifen looked unhappy, and hurriedly stood up, "Mom, did you not get enough rest at uncle's house? Why don't you go to bed early?"

Hu Huifen sat down next to the bed, hesitated, and said slowly, "I have something to tell you."

After a pause, he added, "About Yuanchen."

Wen Li's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What do you want to say?"

Hu Huifen glanced at her daughter before saying, "Did you have a fight with Yuanchen? Or is he not satisfied with our family's conditions?"

Wen Li didn't dare to look her mother in the eye. Her eyes stayed on a corner of the curtain and she asked without any emotion , "What do you want to say?"

Hu Huifen pursed her lips and said, "Yuanchen went to celebrate your grandmother's birthday, but didn't he bring any birthday gifts? Although our family doesn't covet his things, shouldn't he follow this most basic etiquette?"

Wen Li explained, "He prepared a red envelope and gave it to me during dinner. I was afraid that grandma would not want it, so I secretly put it under her pillow and told Winnie when I left."

Hu Huifen's face looked much better. She sighed and said, "Then remind him next time to buy him a gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, just to make the old man happy. After all, what we care about is his attitude towards you."

Wen Li nodded and said, "I understand."

If Huo Yuanchen cared about her, he would naturally value her family. What he showed today was nothing more than proving once again that she had no weight in his heart.

He was not ignorant of etiquette, he just didn't want to spend time on her. He thought that since he could use money to get rid of her, he could also use money to get rid of her family.

The Huo family was not short of money. Tens of thousands of yuan might be a lot for others, but it was just a few days' pocket money for him. The bags and clothes he gave to An Wen every time were much heavier than the birthday gifts he gave to her grandmother.

Hu Huifen sighed and continued, "There is one more thing. I thought about it and decided to tell you. When the banquet was over, your aunt secretly told me that your aunt's cousin went to talk to Yuanchen today, but he ignored you and made your cousin feel embarrassed. During the meal, your cousin drank too much and told him about it. Fortunately, your aunt was right next to him and covered it up while persuading him to drink."

Wen Li looked at Hu Huifen blankly, "Is there such a thing?"

Hu Huifen said, "Don't quarrel with Yuanchen over this. He is slow to warm up, and there are many relatives coming to our house today. He doesn't know your cousin, so it's possible that he doesn't know how to reply. It's your cousin who is narrow-minded and is acting arrogantly because he is an elder."

Wen Li didn't believe that Hu Huifen was thinking this way, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically mentioned this matter.

And my aunt must have some grudges in her heart.

Wen Li was a little confused for a moment. Looking at Hu Huifen, he asked inexplicably, "Mom, do you think it is necessary for Huo Yuanchen and I to continue together?"

Hu Huifen frowned at her and said after a long while, "You shouldn't ask me about this. You have to make your own decision. I know you liked Yuanchen before, but after so long, people will change. Whether the current Yuanchen is still suitable for you is something only you can judge. Mommy has only one thing to tell you, no matter what decision you make, Mommy and Daddy will not blame you. Our home will always be a harbor that protects you from wind and rain."

Wen Li felt a lump in his throat and he suppressed the emotions that were surging in his heart with difficulty, then he opened his arms and hugged Hu Huifen.

"I know, Mom. Thank you, and Dad, thank you."

Hu Huifen patted her back lovingly and whispered, "And your brother. If what Lu Ke said is true, then I guess he must think so too."

Wen Li hugged her mother even tighter.

She didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning thinking about what Hu Huifen had said to her.

Of course, I was also quietly waiting for Huo Yuanchen's call.

But until she got up, her cell phone didn't ring.

Wen Li looked at herself in the mirror and thought, perhaps, she should break up with Huo Yuanchen completely.

She sent messages to Zhou Ying and Li Hong respectively, asking, "Do you know where Huo Yuanchen is now?"

There was no reply from Li Hong.

Zhou Ying quickly replied , "An Wen was hospitalized yesterday, Huo Yuanchen should be in the hospital now."

Wen Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is An Wen really sick?"

Zhou Ying said, "I also thought she was pretending. But this time it seems to be real. I don't know what disease she has, but I heard it seems to be very serious. Today, Huo Yuanchen even applied for a long sick leave for her, saying that she needs to be hospitalized for a period of time."

Wen Li still didn't quite believe it, "Didn't An Wen go back to her hometown two days ago?"

There was no response from Zhou Ying for a while.

Wen Li received the news after finishing breakfast, saying, "I found out that An Wen went back to her hometown two days ago to get her old medical records and to bring her mother to Hai City. As soon as she arrived in Hai City yesterday, she went through the hospitalization procedures. Guess who contacted her for a bed and an expert?"

Wen Li did not respond to Zhou Ying's last sentence.

She could guess with her toes that, apart from Huo Yuanchen, who else would be so nice to An Wen?

However, she was sure of one thing: An Wen was not pretending to be sick this time, but was really seriously ill.

The hospital would not allow a patient to leave the ward at night, so Huo Yuanchen should have stayed in the hospital last night.

Wen Li quickly finished her breakfast, put on some light makeup to cover the slight bruises under her eyes, and went to the hospital with her bag.

When she arrived, she happened to meet Huo Yuanchen coming out of the inpatient building, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, with whom he was talking in a soft voice.

She guessed that it was Anwen's mother.

The middle-aged woman nodded and went upstairs.

Wen Li had just taken two steps forward when Huo Yuanchen reached out to stop her and said in a very calm tone, "If you are here to visit An Wen, then go back first. She probably doesn't want to see you now."
