Chapter 251: I'm Not Leaving
Xu Chunqiu swiped a few malicious speculative comments with an expressionless face, and then she turned off Weibo and dialed Tang Ze's number.
"Hey, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Ze's voice sounded obviously a little relieved because of Xu Chunqiu's call: "Where are you now?"
"Hospital. ”
"You're still by Mr. Lu's side," Tang Ze's voice rose suddenly, "Is anyone filming you?"
“...... Not yet. ”
Tang Ze didn't dare to think about what this "not now" meant, he sighed and persuaded: "I know you're not feeling good, but have you seen what the Internet says about you?"
"They say you're upside down, that you're on top of the rules, and they think you're putting on a show right now. ”
Xu Chunqiu's voice didn't have any waves: "I don't care." ”
Tang Ze said bitterly: "It's useless for you to stay in the hospital now, it's just to add a handle to those good things to the media." ”
"If you continue like this, you don't know how they will arrange you. ”
Xu Chunqiu said stubbornly: "I won't go." ”
Tang Ze was about to open his mouth to persuade her again, but he heard a very soft voice from the other end of the phone.
“...... I just wanted him to see me the first thing he saw when he woke up. ”
Tang Ze originally saved a stomach of words to persuade her, but who knew that when he suddenly heard Xu Chunqiu say this, the advice of those mothers-in-law and mother-in-law was immediately swallowed back by him.
"Forget it, you remember to pay attention to your body. ”
......
At noon the next day after Lu Xiu fell into a coma, his parents hurried back from abroad.
When Ms. Shen Qiongyao knocked on the door of the ward, Xu Chunqiu was lying in front of Lu Xiu's bed with her head down, she had not closed her eyes for a day and a night, and now she was sitting in front of the hospital bed and was half-asleep and half-awake, like a frightened rabbit suddenly awakened by the sound of the door opening.
"Auntie......"
Xu Chunqiu stood up and gave up his position to Shen Qiongyao.
Shen Qiongyao walked in with a thermos lunch box, which contained the chicken soup boiled by the nanny at home, but Lu Xiu couldn't feed it at all with a tube and a ventilator, so Shen Qiongyao stuffed the soup to Xu Chunqiu.
"I see that your eyes are red from boiling, and you can drink some to replenish your body. ”
Before Xu Chunqiu could take the lunch box next, Lu Zongru broke in.
The last time Xu Chunqiu saw him was during the Chinese New Year, when he was sitting on the sofa holding a book and reading, looking easy-going and elegant.
At this moment, he was so anxious that his face was cold, and he was aggressive and asked for guilt.
"Why did all the properties under Lu Xiu's name be transferred to your name?"
Shen Qiongyao immediately stood up and protected Xu Chunqiu behind: "What are you doing with this kid, it's not like you haven't heard the audio sent by Chu Men!"
"No one forced your son, and it was also his own idea to leave the car and house to Xiao Xu. ”
"It's okay, Xiao Xu, it's okay," she turned around and touched Xu Chunqiu's hair, "That's not what his father meant, he's just too anxious......"
Xu Chunqiu raised his head, first looked at Shen Qiongyao, and then turned his head to meet Lu Zongru's gaze.
The black and white eyes were bloodshot as if all the anger had been drained.
She said mechanically like a marionette: "I understand, Auntie, I understand." ”
Lu Zongru looked at Xu Chunqiu's dejected appearance, and then realized his gaffe, he wanted to say something again, but before he could speak, he was pulled out of the ward by Shen Qiongyao.
......
After Lu Xiu's parents came, many people came in and out of the ward.
His friends, classmates, employees of the company, and executives of subsidiaries carried fruit baskets and flowers, and there were so many things that they couldn't put them in the ward, so they had to ask the nurse to help them clean up alone.
In the evening, Tang Ze knocked on the door and came in.
Xu Chunqiu pulled Lu Xiu's hand and said without raising it: "I'm not leaving." ”
Tang Ze sighed: "I've pushed you for all the recent work, but it's not a problem for you to keep going like this." ”
"You're going to burn yourself out. ”
Xu Chunqiu turned his head and smiled at him with red eyes.
She leaned over and used her face to touch Lu Xiu's hand with the infusion tube, and lowered her head to kiss his palm.
"Even if it collapses, I'm willing. ”
Before he could stay in the ward for long, Tang Ze was urged to leave the hospital by his work again.
People were too interested in the extraordinary relationship between Xu Chunqiu and Lu Xiu, and all kinds of speculation on major social media platforms emerged one after another, and the public relations team was so busy that they lost their hair, and after finding that the situation was developing more and more in an uncontrollable direction, they called Tang Ze's mobile phone like crazy.
"Mr. Tang, now the trend of public opinion is not controllable at all, and the media is fanning the flames. ”
"You see if it's necessary to have a press conference. ”
Tang Ze was silent for a moment, and glanced at Xu Chunqiu's figure in the ward: "Let's go." ”
......
The time of the press conference was set for ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lu Xiu was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Xu Chunqiu refused to leave half a step with red eyes, Tang Ze straightened his suit in front of the mirror, then took a deep breath to adjust his breath, and prepared to face the long guns and short cannons of the reporters outside alone.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Tang Ze walked out, and a long table covered with white cloth was set up at the front of the venue, and he sat down in the center of the table, folded his hands and said: "I believe that everyone here today should know the reason for this press conference, and in the next time, any reasonable questions can be raised, and I will give an exact reply as much as possible." ”
Listening to the sound of the camera "clicking" below, the flash was so shaking that people couldn't open their eyes, Tang Ze adjusted the position of the microphone: "You can start now." ”
A small reporter with glasses stood up and asked, "If it's to answer questions, why are the protagonists of this reception both absent and you, an outsider, answering them?"
Tang Ze said into the microphone in a smooth voice: "Mr. Lu's physical condition is not suitable for attending such an occasion, Xu Chunqiu is taking care of him in the hospital." ”
"Then why didn't Mr. Lu hire a nurse, but let Miss Xu take care of her at the bedside?
"Does Mr. Lu and Miss Xu have any improper relationship that is not known to the public? ”
"There are rumors that Xu Chunqiu and the president of China Entertainment Media are lovers, is it true?"
"May I ask if Miss Xu was really adopted by Mr. Lu, and when did she start?"
“......”
One by one, the reporters' questions became more and more acute, and the scene gradually became noisy, and soon it fell into chaos.
Tang Ze frowned and opened his mouth, making a loud noise.
"If you define a relationship as an illicit relationship, then I have nothing to say. ”
