Chapter 1751 Routine Phone Calls
Han Li was confused by Hao Jianghe's snort. He didn't know if Hao Jianghe was really angry or if he felt that now that he had a grandson, it wouldn't matter whether Han Li was there or not.

After Hao Jianghe finished humming, Han Li didn't say anything, but Hao Hongmin was unhappy.

"Hmph, Han Li, it must be cold outside. Sit down and I'll make you a cup of tea to warm you up."

After hearing Hao Hongmin's words, Han Li smiled and nodded at Hao Jianghe, walked past him, and took Hao Hongmin's arm as she was about to get a cup to make tea.

"Hey, hey, don't move, don't move. Don't you even know what month you are in? Even though we're in the hospital, we still need to be careful."

Besides, don't you know my physique? I could spend ten days or half a month in the dead of winter in the mountains of Northeast China without any problems, so this little bit of cold in Hong Kong is nothing to me.”

Hao Hongmin: "I still remember that time when you chased and killed a bear weighing more than 300 pounds by yourself with a wooden spear and a knife."

When you carried it out of the mountains by yourself, you were covered in blood. By then, Yun Yingying had already returned to Beijing.

When Sister He and Sister Qi were washing your clothes, their hands were raw and calloused, but they still couldn't get them clean. In the end, they had no choice but to use those clothes as "geni" (a type of embroidery) to make shoe soles and insoles.

Han Li and Hao Hongmin sat on the edge of the bed, chatting about trivial matters from their time as sent-down youth in Shanghe Village, their faces filled with nostalgia as they talked and laughed.

This situation made Hao Jianghe extremely embarrassed. Jing Shujuan smiled and made a cup of tea for the two men, and heated up a cup of milk for her daughter.

After Jing Shujuan intervened in their conversation, she found an opportunity to bring Hao Jianghe into the conversation as well, and the atmosphere in the private ward gradually improved.

While everyone was chatting, Jiang He and Jing Shujuan saw that their daughter had a smile on her face and her eyes were shining. She was radiating joy from the inside out, and there was no trace of the impatience and anxiety she had shown in the past few days. This made them feel relieved.

During the meal, Han Li called his family in Beijing from a phone booth downstairs to let them know he was safe, and said he would talk to the others another day.

Now that Han Li has arrived in Hong Kong, the task of staying here with Hao Hongmin today naturally falls to him, while Hao Jianghe and Jing Shujuan can go home and get a good night's sleep.

Han Li already has five children and has experience taking care of pregnant women in labor many times. Even if Hao Hongmin is a little more delicate than others now, it's nothing to him.

In addition, the exclusive wards at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital have professional nurses who accompany patients. Although Hao Jianghe did not ask for services such as bathing or wiping his bottom, it saved him a lot of trouble by not having a caregiver.

In the first half of the night, Han Li was still able to lend a hand to the nurse who was accompanying him, but around 11 o'clock, Hao Hongmin sent him to sleep.

The private wards provide a large bed measuring 1.5 meters by 2 meters for the person accompanying the patient. The mattress is soft and thick, making it very comfortable to lie on.

As for the nurse who stays with Hao Hongmin, she can just take a nap on the sofa after Hao Hongmin falls asleep.

The next day, while it was still dark outside, Han Li was awakened by his internal biological clock, just like always.

Hao Hongmin and the nurse accompanying her were both asleep. Han Li glanced at them, then quietly opened the door and went out.

Han Li went downstairs and practiced the Xingyi Quan stance in a corner of the courtyard. He also practiced the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique. After looking at the sky, which was beginning to lighten, he returned to his private ward.

The nurse who was accompanying the patient had already woken up, but Hao Hongmin was still sleeping.

Han Li brewed himself a cup of tea and took out some books related to doctoral studies to read.

Pregnant women experience frequent but short sleep periods due to the pressure of the fetus on their bladder.

Han Li hadn't even read much when Hao Hongmin opened her eyes. When she saw her man reading on the sofa next to her, her tense expression relaxed.

Hao Hongmin waved to the nurse who was accompanying her, asking her to help her to the bathroom to wash up.

The nurse who was accompanying him had just stood up when she startled Han Li, but Hao Hongmin told him to just focus on his reading and that he didn't need to help with these trivial matters.

Although Han Li had experience caring for pregnant women, that didn't mean he was willing to do it, especially given the particularly tedious tasks pregnant women face in the morning. Therefore, Han Li didn't stand on ceremony with Hao Hongmin, offering a few words of concern before continuing to read.

After washing up, Hao Hongmin took out the books she needed to study and sat down next to Han Li to start reading.

Although Jing Shujuan went home to sleep last night, she was worried about her daughter, so she rushed from Causeway Bay to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital early in the morning.

However, as soon as Jing Shujuan entered the room, she saw her daughter leaning her head on Han Li's shoulder, the two of them snuggling together reading a book.

Jing Shujuan initially didn't want to break the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, but thinking that it was already time for her daughter to have breakfast, she took two steps forward, coughed lightly, and said.

"Han Li, Nannan, what do you want to eat for breakfast?"

The Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital has a dedicated restaurant building where patients and their families can eat, or they can order food by phone and have it delivered to their wards.

Although Hao Hongmin's doctor suggested that she do some exercise and walk, which would help with childbirth.

However, the outside temperature is not high now, and pregnant women are more susceptible to catching a cold than ordinary people due to the change in temperature, so it is not recommended that she go out for exercise.

Although Hao Hongmin really wanted to get some fresh air, she could only go out for a stroll around noon when the temperature was highest, and have lunch at a restaurant there.

No matter how fresh the air was in the morning, Hao Hongmin couldn't go out even if she wanted to. Even when Han Li came, Jing Shujuan still insisted on not letting her go out in the morning.

Jing Shujuan's insistence and Han Li's lack of support made Hao Hongmin angry for a while, and in the end, breakfast was still ordered from the hospital cafeteria.

After finishing breakfast, Han Li took out a cigarette, waved it, and left the ward.

However, Han Li went directly to the phone booth downstairs, inserted the coin, picked up the phone, and first called Zhong Chuhong, who should be at Jia Hui Garden and had not yet gone to the garment company.

Han Li was unaware of Zhong Chudan and Zhong Xiaodi's situation, and even less aware that Zhong Chuhong had been spending most of her time at the hospital taking care of her younger sister and brother, rarely returning to Jia Hui Garden.

So Chung Chu-hung didn't answer the phone call Han Li made this morning.

After hearing a busy tone from the microphone, Han Li hung up the phone with some confusion.

However, Han Li had many people to contact today, so he immediately picked up the phone again and called his villa in Clearwater Bay.

The Filipino maid answered the phone and said that the mistress (Guan Zhilin) ​​had gone back to England to study after the Lantern Festival.

Han Li was somewhat frustrated that he couldn't reach the person he was looking for after two consecutive phone calls, but he immediately dialed another number.

The call was made to the High T Brothers law firm, specifically to Anita Koch. Upon hearing that it was Han Li, the financial backer, the other party's previously listless voice immediately became excited.

"My God, Han, I finally got your call! You have no idea how desperate I've been looking for you these past few days."

Han Li: "Anita, you work in Hong Kong, don't you know how important the Spring Festival is to Chinese people?"

Anita Koch: "Of course I know, but making money is more important than holidays."

Han Li: "No one dislikes money, and I like money too, but I don't like to give up spending holidays with my family just to make money. Okay, what's the matter that's driving you crazy looking for me?"

Anita Koch: "Han, there are three things you need to decide, and all three are quite important."
