All the news articles were marked "hot".

Yan Xuxu clicked on the second item, and below the text was a video of Shen Mingzhou apologizing.

"I apologize for taking up public resources. Regarding the fact that our company's research is the same as Hexing's research, Mr. Shen would like to explain that our company was unaware that Hexing was also researching this technology, so it just happened to coincide with it."

Now, Hexing's paper has been peer-verified. Our company's patent application has been rejected because our research has not yet been truly successful. After internal discussion, we have decided to withdraw and give this research to Hexing, so that Hexing can apply this technology to the field, benefit society, and treat more patients suffering from diseases..."

His words sounded sincere, yet every single one denied stealing research results, while he also praised himself for being generous and accommodating.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

At the end of the video, he also bowed his head and apologized to the public.

They also promised to compensate Hexing for all its losses and assured that they would learn from this lesson and never let such a thing happen again.

Yan Xuxu turned off the video.

Just as I was about to contact Lin Huan, Lin Huan called first.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Huan cautiously asked, "Xuxu, are you... available now?"

"Okay, go ahead."

She slept all day without drinking any water, and her voice was still hoarse.

Lin Huan coughed twice and said, "Shen Mingzhou just contacted me. I've already negotiated the compensation amount with him. Is this money really going to be used for research expenses?"

Yan Xuxu smiled. "Of course, it's up to you to decide."

"Great! Some of our equipment is too old, so this money can be used to buy a new batch of equipment." Lin Huan's tone was filled with undisguised joy.

Yan Xuxu chatted with her for a few more minutes, and the conversation eventually turned to Xie Lanyuan.

Incidentally, I'll mention the matter of cracking the Civil Affairs Bureau's code.

"I've already asked Xie Lanyuan to help. With him there, there shouldn't be any problems."

Lin Huan grinned mischievously, "Did you and him reach some kind of agreement?"

Otherwise, would Xie Lanyuan be willing to help?

Yan Xuxu denied it guiltily, "Nothing like that, don't make wild guesses."

Thinking about last night, her ears burned, and she quickly lied that she was hungry and had to go cook, then hung up the phone in a hurry.

I really lost my composure last night.

Her lonely heart was suddenly warmed by him, and coupled with her desire to get revenge on Shen Mingzhou, that's why she was so bold as to seduce Xie Lanyuan.

Who knew this man would be so fierce, tormenting her all night long?

I didn't let her off the hook this morning either.

The aches and pains in my body are still intense.

Judging from the current situation, it will take at least two or three days to recover.

Yan Xuxu, supporting her aching back, was about to go to the bathroom for a bath when she suddenly heard the sound of lights being turned on downstairs.

Then, footsteps came from the stairwell.

Guessing that it was Xie Lanyuan, Yan Xuxu turned and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to step out of the room, she bumped right into the man who was about to enter.

Xie Lanyuan casually pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly in his arms, his voice tinged with amusement, "You're so happy I'm here? You can't wait to throw yourself into my arms?"

Yan Xuxu punched him speechlessly and cursed, "I thought some thief had broken in, but it's you."

Xie Lanyuan held her small hand in his palm and laughed, "You still have the energy to curse? Looks like you've had a good rest."

After saying that, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.

Yan Xuxu, suspended in mid-air, cried out in surprise, "What are you trying to do now?"

Xie Lanyuan didn't say anything, but carried her to the bed and sat her down. He picked up the pair of cotton slippers from the floor and gently helped her put them on.

"The soles of your feet are most susceptible to cold, so you are not allowed to walk barefoot on the floor from now on."

Yan Xuxu's heart was struck hard.

My thoughts drifted back to the first snowfall of the winter when they first started dating, when they secretly went out on a date without telling their families.

Snowflakes drifted down on them.

Her hands were frozen stiff.

Shen Mohan took her hand and put it in his pocket, using his warmth to warm her up.

She was so moved that she gave him her first kiss.

Shen Mohan was clearly caught off guard and stood there dumbfounded.

The snow fell heavier and heavier. She laughed, pulled her hand back, ran out, grabbed a handful of snow, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it at him, which finally brought him back to his senses.

That night, they had a snowball fight in the snow.

On the way back, Shen Mohan still held her hands, coldly scolding her, "Your hands are so cold, you're not allowed to have snowball fights anymore."

His tone then was exactly the same as it is now.

Lost in thought, Yan Xuxu was so engrossed that she didn't even hear Jie Lanyuan speaking to her.

"Only one."

When Xie Lanyuan didn't get a response from her, he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Yan Xuxu finally snapped out of her daze and asked blankly, "What did you just say?"

Xie Lanyuan flicked her forehead helplessly and asked, "When do you plan to have Sisi's surgery?"

"I'll go check on her tomorrow and then make some arrangements."

Even if Jie Lanyuan didn't come tonight, she planned to visit the manor tomorrow.

Given Xie Siyu's condition, the sooner the surgery is performed, the safer she will be.

Of course, what Yan Xuxu hopes for even more is that she can play freely outside like other children her age, and also go to school and make more friends.

Xie Lanyuan nodded and sat down next to her, his eyes filled with undisguised seriousness. "Her birthday is just a month away. If she can recover, it will definitely be the best birthday gift she has received in all these years."

Yan Xuxu was startled upon hearing this.

"What is Sisi's birthday?"

"I don't know the specifics, but the director found her at the orphanage gate on November 27th, so we used that day as her birthday."

December 11th...

What a coincidence!

Her daughter, who died young, also had her birthday on this day!

Seeing her pale face and trembling shoulders, Jie Lanyuan hugged her tighter: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Yan Xuxu closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing the sorrow that was about to burst forth.

It was such a coincidence that every time she saw Xie Siyu, it was as if she were seeing her own daughter.

"The surgery will definitely go smoothly, trust me." She lifted her eyelids again, her eyes shining with confidence.

Jie Lanyuan naturally believed in her abilities and nodded, "Mm."

"By the way, was Shen Mingzhou's sudden public apology your doing?"

Yan Xuxu turned her head to look into his eyes.

She knows Shen Mingzhou too well.

After something like this happens, people will inevitably rack their brains to clear their name and reclaim the research, but they ended up issuing a public apology so easily.

Although his statement contained a hint of resentment, to everyone's ears, it was an admission that he had committed the theft.

Yan Xuxu guessed that someone must have put pressure on him, forcing him to abandon his research efforts when he had no other choice.

And those who have the ability to do so, and who also want to do so.

Only Jie Lanyuan!
