Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Returning Sheep Herding Child
After countless trances and burning bodies, Xue Rin finally woke up early in the morning after the rain.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the light in the ward startled him, and at the last moment before he lost consciousness, his eyes flashed with the light of the fire flowing in the dark night and the figure he couldn't let go, and now, he was lying peacefully in the quiet room.
He turned his head sideways and swept into the room, only to see that not far from the bed, Xue Huaiyuan was sitting on a chair, as usual, frowning and concentrating on reading the company briefing, and from time to time he took a pen to sketch on it.
"Forehead ......"
On the island before, Xue Rin had imagined the opening words when he saw his father again countless times, but at this moment, his father was sitting less than fifty centimeters away from him, and he didn't know how to speak.
Hearing the sound from the bed, Xue Huaiyuan's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble, he excitedly threw the folder aside, and strode towards Xue Rin.
"Rin, how is it? You're finally awake! What's wrong? Tell Dad, and Dad will call you a doctor. Xue Huaiyuan anxiously stroked Xue Rin's face as he reached out and rang the bell.
"I'm fine. Facing his father's hand on his face, Xue Rin did not struggle.
"I still have to ask a doctor to come and take a look, you were injured and a little infected before, and this is not a trivial matter. ”
Xue Huaiyuan was so anxious that he wanted to go outside the house as he spoke, but as soon as he turned around, his arm was grabbed, and he turned around and saw that Xue Rin was struggling to get up, and he didn't let go of his hand.
"What are you doing, lie down!" Seeing this, Xue Huaiyuan hurriedly helped Xue Rin to lie down.
"Dad, I'm really fine, I'm in good spirits, don't go. Xue Rin grabbed Xue Huaiyuan's arm and didn't let go.
"Okay, okay, Dad won't leave, Dad is here to accompany you, are you thirsty? You have been in a coma for so long, you should be hungry, I will ask Ah Yuan to go to your favorite Langge to pack some light and nutritious dishes in a while......" Xue Huaiyuan said and got up again to pour water.
"Dad, don't be busy, sit down, sit down and listen to me. Xue Rin stopped Xue Huaiyuan and finally pressed him to the edge of the bed.
"Okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to do anything, I'm listening to my son. As soon as Xue Huaiyuan heard Xue Rin's tone, he knew that his son had something important to say, so he sat on the edge of the bed steadily.
Xue Rin was silent for a few seconds, then plucked up the courage to speak: "Dad, I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
"Tell me what I'm sorry for, this was an accident, you don't want to be like this, who can ...... this shipwreck"
"It's not just this, it's everything before!" Xue Rin shouted.
Xue Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Xue Rin silently, incredulous that the words he heard came out of Xue Rin's mouth.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I was really too willful before, in fact, I never hated you, I just couldn't let go of myself, I blamed you for my mother's death, in fact, I know better than anyone else, you really tried your best, we all tried our best, but ......"
"Rin, don't say sorry to Dad, you were a child at the time, Dad understood your helplessness, when your grandmother died, I was as hysterical as you, I should say I'm sorry, I regret it now, I didn't keep you by my side at that time, and chose to send you abroad. Xue Huaiyuan raised his hand and wiped the tears on Xue Rin's face.
"It's all my fault, I always cause trouble for you abroad, I just didn't know how to vent at that time, I always wanted to use this method to make you pay attention to me, so that you don't forget that you still have such a son, I ......"
"Silly boy! Dad is such a child as you, how could he forget you? At the beginning, it was also a last resort, your mother had just passed away at that time, and there was a political struggle in the company, and the foundation we had worked so hard to lay could be handed over to others at any time, and our family could be defeated at any time, I was afraid that it would affect your studies, so I decided to send you abroad to study in advance. ”
"Political struggle? Why didn't you tell me?" Xue Rin always thought that his father's career was smooth sailing, and he never knew that his family had also been in turmoil.
"You were young at the time, and I told you what else could you do besides worrying you?"
"Then you're going to get through it alone?"
Xue Rin recalled that when he first arrived in the UK, his father rarely even made phone calls, and only Qi Hang, who was still the group's financial director at that time, would call regularly to ask him what he lacked.
"Your father is lucky to have a trustworthy brother and a subordinate who shares weal and pain. ”
"You mean, godfather, and ...... Aunt Qi?"
Xue Rin hesitated a little when mentioning Qi Hang, this was the name he used to be inexplicably irritable and repulsed when he thought about it.
"Well, at that time, I had stomach problems, it was your godfather and godmother, and your aunt Qi took care of me day and night, and it was also your aunt Qi who helped me find the financial evidence to sue my competitors, and she handled it for you to go abroad. ”
Xue Rin never knew what Qi Hang had done for the two of them, he always thought that Qi Hang had deliberately approached Xue Huaiyuan after his mother's death, coveting power and money, and persuaded Xue Huaiyuan to send him abroad.
At the end of the day, the woman he had always hated and hated was a faithful person.
"It turns out that she ......" Xue Rin remembered that he had spoken ill of her, and he was ashamed.
"Actually, your Aunt Qi really paid a lot for you and for this family, a few years ago, she used to ......"
"Oh! Xue Rin! You're awake!"
Xue Huaiyuan was just halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by the sound of a violent door opening.
Seeing Qi Hang walk in, she hurriedly walked to Xue Huaiyuan's side and raised her hand on his shoulder.
Feeling the faint pressure on his shoulders, Xue Huaiyuan immediately understood, he took Qi Hang's hand and said to Xue Rin: "Ah Rin, during your disappearance, it was your Aunt Qi who was busy doing everything, and now it's okay, the three of us can be regarded as surviving." ”
"Aunt Qi, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me, for my dad, and ...... I'm sorry. ”
When she heard Xue Rin call herself Aunt Qi, Qi Hang's eyes instantly fogged, and she looked at Xue Huaiyuan excitedly, a little choked.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you don't have to say thank you to Aunt Qi, and you don't have to feel sorry, it's all in the past, and none of us will mention it." Just now, the doctor said that all of Rin's physical indicators are normal, and he can be discharged as long as he wakes up, what about Ah Yuan? Let him come up and pack his things, and we will go home. ”
Xue Huaiyuan wiped away the tears on Qi Hang's face, took her hand and put it on Xue Rin's hand, and said happily: "Okay, okay, let's not be sensational, hurry up and go home, let Ah Yuan buy daily necessities before, I will call him back." ”
Seeing Xue Rin's rare smile, Qi Hang suddenly remembered something, she said to Xue Rin casually: "By the way, Ah Rin, the girl who was rescued with you is not seriously injured, Ah Yan said that she had been discharged from the hospital two days ago." ”
Xue Rin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but avoid Qi Hang's eyes weakly, he nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
In fact, only he knows that he has been wondering about Yao Zhixia's situation since he woke up, but he can't find a natural excuse to investigate, and now that he knows that she is okay, the stone in his heart can be regarded as letting go.
Unsurprisingly, Qi Hang caught a hint of relief on Xue Rin's face, but she decided to be an owl and turn a blind eye.
Looking at the hands of the family folded together, Xue Rin felt a warmth in his heart.
Yao Zhixia, you're right, my mother has been watching us from the sky, she sent Qi Hang and asked her to love us instead of herself, I don't want to be the Xue Rin who competes with me anymore, I let myself go.
