He Yun seemed surprised that Yan Xi had hung up on him. He frowned slightly and then sent Yan Xi a message.
"Call me back when you have time."
Yan Xi didn't want to stay there, watching Fu Wen Hai and Li Qin gang up on her to humiliate her.
Yan Xi turned and walked out of the ward. After a few seconds of silence, she still took out her phone and called He Yun.
As soon as the call was answered, He Yun anxiously asked, "Xi Xi, did you see the news online?"
Yan Xi's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. As expected, good deeds go unnoticed, but bad deeds spread like wildfire.
Her scandal was now known to almost everyone.
Yan Xi didn't react much, merely humming a soft "Mm."
Seeing Yan Xi's unstable emotions, He Yun was quite worried. He asked, "Xi Xi, what do you think about this matter?"
"He Yun, are you here to question me?"
Yan Xi couldn't think of any other reason for He Yun to call her and ask about this matter.
After all, Yan Xi had returned to the He family, and her words and actions now represented the He family.
He Yun was so anxious because Yan Xi's scandal had brought shame to the He family's reputation.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi spoke, "If you find it difficult, or if this matter has affected the He family's reputation, you can publicly announce that I am not the biological daughter of the He family. When your grandfather was alive, he was too eager to recognize the wrong person, and you played along to avoid leaving him with regrets, which led to this misunderstanding."
"Xi Xi, do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about such details?"
He Yun was worried about Yan Xi. After all, she was a girl, and she must be feeling terrible after something like this happened.
He Yun was worried that Yan Xi would not be able to bear the blow if this matter were exposed.
That was why he called Yan Xi to ask about her.
But He Yun didn't expect Yan Xi to misunderstand his intentions.
He Yun had never thought of abandoning Yan Xi.
Even though Yan Xi was in trouble now, He Yun knew very well that it wasn't her intention.
He Yun pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then explained, "Xi Xi, I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried about you. Where are you now? I'll come find you."
"No need. I want to be alone and calm down right now."
He Yun was about to say more, but seeing that Yan Xi didn't really want to talk to him, he swallowed the words he wanted to say. He Yun said faintly, "Alright then, I won't disturb you."
Yan Xi took the phone away from her ear, preparing to hang up.
He Yun seemed to sense this and quickly called out Yan Xi's name as she was about to hang up.
Yan Xi put the phone back to her ear and asked faintly, "Is there anything else?"
"Xi Xi, I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, we are family. Your business is my business. I will help you resolve this and clear your name."
"Thank you."
Yan Xi hung up after speaking.
He Yun knew that Fu Yan Ting was faking it and that Fu Yan Ting wasn't as seriously injured as he seemed. So, he went to the hospital to see Fu Yan Ting. Coincidentally, when He Yun arrived at the hospital, Yan Xi had already left. He Yun looked at Fu Wen Hai and Li Qin and said, "I've come to see Old Fu and also to discuss some matters with him."
Fu Wen Hai inwardly scoffed. Fu Yan Ting was half-dead; what matters could be discussed? Although he thought this, they didn't dare to offend He Yun.
One had to know that the He family's status in Yan City was on par with the Fu family's.
If Fu Wen Hai offended He Yun, and He Yun became enraged and attacked the Fu family, Fu Wen Hai, with his current abilities and influence, would be no match for He Yun.
Therefore, despite his reluctance, Fu Wen Hai left.
As he was leaving, Fu Wen Hai said to He Yun with a warm smile, "Nephew He, I'll leave Yan Ting to you. You must take good care of him and not let him have any slip-ups."
"Didn't you hire a caregiver? Let them take care of him," He Yun said, not being so foolish.
Fu Wen Hai had intended to tamper with Fu Yan Ting and then blame it on He Yun, but he hadn't expected He Yun to be so difficult and refuse to cooperate.
Fu Wen Hai's face was extremely grim as he turned and left.
He Yun watched Fu Wen Hai's retreating back and couldn't help but frown. No wonder Yan Xi had such a scandal. Fu Wen Hai appeared to have the kindness of an elder, but having lived in the He family for so many years, He Yun understood the meaning of "smiling to hide a dagger" all too well.
Yan Xi's current scandal was most likely Fu Wen Hai's doing.
He had interacted with Li Qin and knew what kind of person she was. Li Qin might have some grievances against Yan Xi, but she wasn't as cunning as Fu Wen Hai. Li Qin wouldn't have come up with such a wicked and foolish idea.
After Fu Wen Hai left, He Yun stared at Fu Yan Ting and whispered a sentence in his ear.
As expected, after a while, Fu Yan Ting slowly opened his eyes.
He Yun glanced sideways at Fu Yan Ting and roared angrily, "What? Are you done pretending?"
Fu Yan Ting didn't seem too bothered by He Yun's sarcasm. He said faintly, "What happened?"
He Yun almost choked on his own anger.
He had said so much here, and Fu Yan Ting still didn't know what had happened to Yan Xi.
Such an unreliable person. He Yun suddenly began to consider that Yan Xi shouldn't marry Fu Yan Ting. Fortunately, Yan Xi had rejected his proposal when Fu Yan Ting proposed to her back then.
Thinking of this, He Yun's expression turned extremely grim.
He Yun told Fu Yan Ting what had happened to Yan Xi.
After listening, Fu Yan Ting frowned slightly. He didn't show extreme anger, nor did he act as if nothing had happened.
He simply said faintly, "Can I see the trending search on my phone?"
He Yun handed his phone to Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting opened it and took a look. Indeed, Yan Xi's scandal was immediately visible.
However, Fu Yan Ting only glanced at it briefly before saying, "This woman is not Yan Xi. Although her face is Yan Xi's, Yan Xi has a birthmark on her left shoulder. This girl doesn't."
Upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, He Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Of course, he knew this girl wasn't Yan Xi. But now, all the evidence proved that the woman in the indecent photo was Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was a girl, and she couldn't hide at home forever. If Yan Xi went out now and was pointed at by those people, she surely wouldn't be able to bear it.
