Chapter 169: Liberation
"How did Lu Yao wake up, did she wake up naturally?"
"Not really. β
Qiao Rin responded, "Mother and son are connected, Mrs. Xu has been having a premonition that something happened to Xu Luyao in the past two days, forcing Xu Wenxin to tell the truth, the old couple came by plane overnight, including my second brother and Xu Wenxin, also arrived together, Mrs. Xu said in Xu Luyao's ear that she wanted to take her home, Xu Luyao shed tears and woke up soon. β
β......β
Ning Qi trembled and his eyes were sour.
"Lu Yao may have wanted to go home a long time ago. β
I thought it was for the good of the old man to conceal it.
It didn't work out.
But Xu Luyao was asked to 'sleep' for a few more days.
Wandering children.
Who wouldn't want mom and dad.
"Xu Luyao woke up in good spirits, and she could eat some liquid food, you can rest assured. β
Qiao Rin said softly, "It's you, I left the hospital suddenly last night, and I didn't answer the phone, I thought something happened to you, and when I returned to the hotel, I found that you were asleep, Sanbao, you are tired and want to say, what should I do if something goes wrong, forcing me to die young." β
"I'm fine. β
Ning Qi laughed, "I sleep to do business in my dreams." β
It's embarrassing~
It's hard to explain!
"What's the matter?"
"It's ......"
Ning Qi was relaxed, and he also joked mentally, "Meet my master Dragon King and ask him to help me solve the problem." β
"Exactly. β
Qiao Rin pulled in a tone, "In your dream, Xu Luyao woke up, turn around, I will go to your house to give the Dragon King a few more incense." β
"Don't get up!"
Ning Qi smiled and put the bronze utensils up, thinking of Zhou Qi'an, "Does he know that Lu Yao is awake?"
"Yes. β
Qiao Rin's voice sank, "Zhou Qi'an came to the hospital as soon as Xu Luyao woke up, he has a lot of crimes to pay for, dare not show up?"
β......β
Ning Qi understood the meaning of his words.
Not to mention that Qiao Rin and her are Xu Luyao's friends.
Xu Luyao also has a relationship with Qiao Huai.
Xu Wenxin saw her sister jump off the building.
Can you stop there?
Qiao Huai has a very good network in Hong Kong City.
and Zhou Qi'an's godfather are still friends.
If Zhou Qi'an is completely offended.
I'm afraid it's going to be sad!
However, Xu Luyao refused to see Zhou Qi'an. β
Qiao Rin continued, "She didn't agree with Zhou Qi'an entering her ward, she couldn't get close to the door, she would collapse emotionally when she smelled Zhou Qi'an, Zhou Qi'an bowed three times to the old couple of the Xu family, slapped her a few times, and left." β
Ning Qi chatted for a while and put down the phone.
Seemingly.
Xu Luyao was completely dead to Zhou Qi'an.
Walk towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ning Qi looked at the brilliant and prosperous port city in the sun.
She didn't expect that.
Take a trip here.
indirectly made Xu Luyao make a choice.
Even if it's heartbreaking.
Nearly lost his life.
Compared with Xu Luyao's long years in the future.
I can pull out.
That's a good thing.
......
"Godfather, I really know it's wrong. β
In the mansion, Zhou Qi'an knelt in front of an old man, his eyes were full of panic, and his words were sincere, "You just look at my dedication to serving the group in the past two years, give me another chance." β
"Andy, it's not that I don't protect you. β
The old man was dressed in a luxurious manner and sat on a dark brown leather sofa.
Holding a gem-encrusted cane in both hands.
Behind him, stood several people in black suits wearing sunglasses and headphones.
Everywhere, it shows the dignity of status.
Looking at Zhou Qi'an kneeling in front of him, the old man's face was dark, "I reminded you, don't get along with Qiao Huai and Qiao Rin, the two brothers, now Qiao Huai has given Rongsheng Real Estate a word, and agreed to discuss with them in detail about the real estate development plan of Jingzhou, you know that Rongsheng and I are competing for the mainland market, Qiao Huai's move is obviously to give me an ugly look, if I pay you back, I just can't get along with the banknotes." β
"Godfather......
Zhou Qi'an held back his red eyes, "I just came out of the hospital, and I have already apologized to Lu Yao's parents, and Qiao Huai also said that Lu Yao is awake, and he will not trouble me." β
"Andy, when did you become so stupid?"
The old man's cane pestled the carpet, hating iron and steel, "This is Qiao Huai's insidiousness, he didn't trouble you on the surface, but he pointed the finger at me, the master, when Qiao Huai was in the country, I cooperated with him, he didn't let me eat the sweetness once, don't think that he can relax his vigilance when he is young, Qiao Huai can eat well in the country, that is, he is cunning enough!"
Zhou Qi'an stiffened his back, "Godfather......"
"Don't call me again. β
The old man stiffened his face and sighed, "I never thought that Miss Xu would have such a relationship with Qiao Huai, Andy, I have affection for you, and I also appreciate you, but we are in business, and we can't get along with anyone, and we can't get along with banknotes......
The mainland market is a good time, you hurt me to make less money, then, I can only give up you, there is a saying in the mainland, abandon the pawn to protect the car, I will take back your equity, as for the house, give you time to move out, in the future you are in the port city, whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me. β
οΌοΌ
Zhou Qi'an's body shook, knelt and moved forward, pulling the old man's trousers, "Godfather, give me another chance, I promise, I will make you earn more." β
"How old are you?"
The old man looked coldly, "Andy, in business, you must value harmony, you seem to have only offended the two brothers Qiao Huai, but do you know how much market I will lose because of this, and how happy I will be when I am against the promotion, you, really disappointed me, and wasted my hard work on your cultivation in the past two years!"
"Godfather, I really know that I was wrong!"
Zhou Qi'an squeezed out his tears, "You know that I have no parents since I was a child, and I have no relatives and no support in the mainland, I firmly remember your kindness to me, and I have always regarded you as my father, if you abandon me, I can only go to the sea!"
"Don't talk to me about these ......"
The old man bowed slightly, looking at him with a wrinkled face, "An Zai, I have been giving you nothing bad in the past two years, then, don't say that I won't give you a chance, if Qiao Huai or Qiao Rin can call, forgive your ignorance and mistakes, and continue to cooperate with me, I will keep you by your side, what do you think?"
"Thank you, godfather......"
Zhou Qi'an sniffed and prepared to get up, "I'm going to go to Qiao Huai and apologize to him, I won't let you suffer financially because of me......"
"Mr. Wu. β
The assistant came over with the phone and said respectfully, "Mr. Qiao Huai is looking for you, do you want to answer?" β
Zhou Qi'an was stunned!
Trembling at the phone, nervous.
The old man glanced at Zhou Qi'an, who was trembling, "It's simple, Anzai, whether you stay or not, it depends on this phone call." β
Zhou Qi'an clenched his teeth.
A humble face.
The old man's breath was calm, he took the phone, and after a few seconds, the corners of his lips were immediately raised, and the wrinkles of his smile were like flowers, "Nephew, you can rest assured, I am teaching Zhou Qi'an, yes, yes, I know you don't care, it's Zhou Qi'an who doesn't make it, the dog is not raised well, and it is my master's fault to go out and bite people......"
β......β
Zhou Qi'an lowered his eyes.
His face was pale, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
"Nephew, I don't know how Miss Xu is now, I should visit, if she is not in a good condition, I will immediately throw Zhou Qi'an into the open sea and ......be angry for Miss Xu."
The old man said, his face suddenly stiffened when he laughed, "Nephew, this is a misunderstanding, I really didn't know that Miss Xu and your fiancΓ©e were sisters, yes, what can I do at my age, besides, I also appreciate Miss Xu's personality, she did something with me, but I compensated her in full, in this regard, I don't have the slightest disrespect and shame......"
Zhou Qi stood quietly to the side.
He couldn't hear what Qiao Huai said on the other side of the phone.
It can only be inferred.
talked about Xu Luyao and Mr. Wu.
The mood is more volatile.
The blood is cold.
"That's right, I tried my best to meet Miss Xu's request at that time, and I helped Zhou Qi'an earlier, but also to see Miss Xu's face......"
The old man's expression gradually became serious, "If Miss Xu has any dissatisfaction with me, I am also willing to apologize in person, nephew, I have always been full of sincerity to you and your brother, yes, I also look forward to future cooperation, the mainland welcomes us, and we are also willing to make a contribution......"
Speaking of the back, the old man said 'oh?', looked at Zhou Qi'an with a slight brow, and smiled again, "Miss Xu really said that?"
The expression gave Zhou Qi comfort.
In an instant, he burst into a lot of hope.
Looking at the old man with anticipation.
"Miss Xu is really generous, she is a girl I admire very much. β
The old man nodded, and the old man's eyes lit up, "Nephew, if you are willing to continue to cooperate, then uncle and I will also show sincerity, conditions......?
As soon as the sound stopped, the old man's smiling face froze again, "Nephew, are you joking with me?"
β......β
Zhou Qi'an's slightly lowered heart was mentioned again.
The air is getting tight.
The old man's breath was subtle, and he held it for a few seconds into the intercom microphone, and then his face darkened, pulling the corners of his shriveled lips, and he said with a smiling appearance, " My nephew, of course I'm willing, as long as you fully cooperate with me, let a few points, it's a little meaning, okay, that's it, I don't know when you have time, I invite you two brothers to have a meal, okay, it's inconvenient now, I'll talk about it later, yes, everyone makes money, we have always been happy to cooperate, I also want to thank you, then first, I'll go to the mainland after a while, okay, I'll take care of my body, my nephew has a heart, goodbye. β
β......β
Hang up.
There was silence in the living room.
The old man pursed his lips slightly and handed the phone to the assistant.
On crutches, he got up slowly, his eyes fell on Zhou Qi'an coldly, "Come closer." β
"Godfather. β
Zhou Qi'an expected something, half-bowed his head, and took two steps closer to him.
Before he could stand firmly, he saw the old man's crutch wave at him!
'Bang!!'
The side of the gem hit him hard in the side of the face!
The old man tried his best, but Zhou Qi'an couldn't bear it at all!
I only feel that the skin of my cheeks is open!
Eardrums buzz!
The body also fell to the ground with this force!
'Poof!!'
Spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ruddy drenched the carpet.
If you look closely, there is also a white tooth inside. 315 Chinese Network
"Ahem, ahem...... Godfather, I was wrong......"
Zhou Qi'an lay on the ground.
Several mouthfuls of blood poured out of his mouth one after another.
The side of the face is accompanied by a red ring, and it is swollen high.
"Does it hurt?"
The old man's leather shoes stood in front of Zhou Qi'an's eyes, "My heart hurts even more, this stupid thing you did, I want to make Qiao Huai a few points, and I lost a lot of money at once, their brothers, eat people and don't spit out bones, how insidious, An Zai, you fight for some anger, don't let me pay for your mistakes again, one more time, things won't be so simple, do you know it." β
"Godfather......
Zhou Qi'an knelt up again and looked at him tremblingly, "Are you willing to leave me?"
"Thank you, Miss Xu. β
The old man was on crutches and looked at him condescendingly, "Miss Xu asked Qiao Huai, don't trouble you, and begged me to continue to keep you by your side, so that you can have a way to live in the future, Andy, you really found a good girlfriend, but unfortunately you are not worthy." β
β......β
Zhou Qi'an's eyes darkened a little, and the sourness swept by, and the corners of his lips trembled with the sweetness in his mouth.
"Miss Xu will follow Qiao Huai back to the mainland and will never have any contact with you again. β
The old man said, taking a long breath, "Qiao Huai asked me to tell you, don't go to Miss Xu again, if he finds out that he continues to be involved with you and Miss Xu, you know the consequences." β
Zhou Qi'an was dumbfounded, a bitter smile rose at the corner of his blood-stained lips, and he replied vaguely, "Godfather, don't worry, where do I still have the face to pester Xu Luyao, she is willing to leave, it is a relief for me and her." β
"Heh~"
The old man let out a laugh and bowed slightly to look at him, "Andy, do you know why I value you." β
β......β
Zhou Qi'an looked into his eyes and shook his head.
"It's so simple. β
The old man seemed to see through him, "You are ruthless enough, and you can endure enough, what I like is that you are hypocritical, a businessman, you have to have a heart that does not recognize your six relatives, talk about feelings and righteousness, how do you make money, become a big thing, you want money, you have money, you can fight with the sky, you have money, you can fight with the earth, you have money, you want to be windy, you want to have any kind of woman, An Zai, you haven't arrived yet, you are anxious, you have to pay the price......"
The cold crutches patted Zhou Qi'an's face, "Why is it difficult for the Qiao brothers to do it, Qiao Rin is well-known in the United States for being able to fish, do you know how much the financial tsunami made him earn in the United States, people jumped off the building and he bought the island, if you can have that brain, you don't have to follow me." β
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why can Qiao Huai put me together today, he is yin enough, you talk to him about feelings, he talks to you about money, you talk to him about money, he talks to you about feelings, his younger brother is openly robbing, he is secretly bad, he only has interests in his heart, cold-blooded enough, and people are stable enough." β
After a pause, the old man said lightly, "Andy, you go to Miss Ma and talk about feelings, you are not qualified." β
β......β
Zhou Qi'an took a deep breath, "Godfather, I understand." β
"What is God?"
The elder's eyes flowed with fine light, "It is God who can control your own destiny, godfather teaches you, you have nothing, no background, no strength, then you have to give up something, love, that is a luxury, when you can't even keep yourself, you are not qualified to rob women with others, today's thing is to tell you, if you are not ruthless to yourself, someone will be cruel to you, Andy, don't let me down again, godfather hopes that you are a trump card, not a deflated three who can't be supported." β
"Godfather, I see. β
Zhou Qi'an nodded, "From now on, I will not be married or unworthy, and I will serve you and the group wholeheartedly, and be loyal." β
"Good. β
The old man patted him on the shoulder, "You will leave in a few days, and the business over there will be handed over to you, and the business will be negotiated, and you will come back to see me." β
After saying that, he left on crutches.
"Xie Ganda cultivated. β
Zhou Qi'an knelt in place and watched.
His gaze fell on the water of blood that he had vomited.
While breathing a sigh of relief, he let out a bitter laugh.
......
When Ning Qi arrived at the hospital, Xu Wenxin was left in the ward.
Qiao Rin was waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital.
The two met in a hurry.
A few words were briefly spoken.
Qiao Rin and Qiao Huai went to visit the elders in Hong Kong City.
The old couple of the Xu family were not there.
Mrs. Xu was overly emotional.
Unstable blood pressure.
The old couple followed Aunt Qin back to rest under persuasion.
Cao Yuxuan and Sheng Li followed the old couple away.
It made some room for Ning Qi.
Otherwise, the ward is full of people.
She couldn't make it.
Push open the door to the patient room.
Xu Wenxin was feeding Xu Luyao some water.
The sisters didn't notice Ning Qi who entered the door.
Still chatting quietly.
Ning Qi stood at the door, looking at Xu Luyao on the hospital bed.
She was wearing a neck brace and a bandage on her head, as if she was fixed on the hospital bed, using a straw to sip water, "Sister, I'm not thirsty." β
"Drink a little. β
Xu Wenxin said softly, "The doctor said that you need to rehydrate, and if your mouth is dry, your throat will be uncomfortable." β
β......β
Ning Qi looked quietly, his nasal cavity was salty, and the corners of his lips were unconsciously raised.
Xu Luyao is still very thin.
Very thin.
But at this moment, the light flowing in her eyes was reassuring.
The body will eventually heal.
As long as this girl has spirit.
All!
None of this is a problem.
"Alright. β
Xu Luyao pushed open the water cup, her eyes turned inadvertently, and she was a little frozen, "Ning Qi......"
"Hmmm......"
Ning Qi squeezed his voice in his throat, smiled on his face, and tears flowed out inexplicably.
"Lu Yao, I'm sorry, I'm late. β
β......β
Xu Luyao looked at her, a smile also raised on her pale face, and tears flashed in her eyes.
After a few seconds, her lips flattened and she opened her arms, "Ning Qi, I miss you so much." β
Ning Qi's face parted, his eyelashes trembled, and he tensed his emotions for a few seconds, and the sourness was like a horse's hooves rushing across the grassland, gushing in!
walked quickly to Xu Luyao's bedside and leaned over to hug her.
"Lu Yao, I miss you so much. β
Xu Wenxin sat next to her, her eyes red.
"Sambo, you two talk. β
patted Ning Qi's back, Xu Wenxin stood up and walked out of the ward with her feet raised.
Gently closed the outer door.
"Ning Qi, don't blame me. β
Xu Luyao's voice was salty, "I don't see you, it's not that I hate you, it's not that I don't want you, but I don't want to face it, I don't want people to see what I look like now." β
"Silly Girl......"
Ning Qi let go of his hand, took a tissue and wiped her eyes, "You really didn't keep your promise, you clearly said that you would always contact me when you came to Hong Kong City, and you would tell me anything you encountered, but why, did it become like this?"
Xu Luyao lowered her eyes and silently let out a laugh, "Since I was a child, I have been cared for by my family, and all I have come into contact with is softness, but I am in it, and I don't know it, I think the world is like this, no matter how willful I am, I will be tolerated, accepted, and there will be a lot of good luck waiting for me." β
Ning Qi was speechless and listened to her continue.
"But Port City is not home. β
Xu Luyao pulled the corners of her lips and looked at Ning Qi sideways, "Everything here is very realistic, utilitarian, if you don't have money, you can't eat, if you don't have money, you have to bow your head and be a man, what's more, I'm still from out of town, I can't speak Hong Kong dialect, and I'm also looked down upon." β
"You should tell me. β
Ning Qi held her hand distressedly, "I said, you don't have money, you have to tell me." β
"Qi'an has a strong sense of self-esteem. β
Xu Luyao's expression darkened a little, "He doesn't even want to borrow money from my sister, let alone open his mouth with you, doesn't that make him slap himself in the face?" β
"Lu Yao, in October, you told Sister Qiuyue that you were going to move, why didn't you contact me anymore?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly, realized something, and hurriedly added, "It's okay Lu Yao, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it, let's talk about something else." β
"I'm willing to say. β
Xu Luyao smiled, "I know, you are very puzzled in your heart, in fact, it is not a big deal, now, I want to open it, and I can face it, you know, I am not a person who can keep secrets, say it, I will be more relaxed." β
"That ......"
Ning Qi hesitated, "What happened to you?"
"Because I'm moving. β
Xu Luyao pursed her bloodless lips, her eyes were a little empty, "When I first arrived in Hong Kong City, Qi'an and his grandmother lived in a squatter, do you know what a squatter is, similar to a slum, only eight square meters, damp and wet, and there are rats when you sleep at night, in such an environment, Qi'an can't afford to live, or I went, give him money, so that he can change his residence......"
"Qi'an didn't agree to use my money, but my grandmother's body living in a squatter house will only be worse, there is no way, he agreed, I was so happy, I called Sister Qiuyue and asked her to convey to you, I'm moving......"
Xu Luyao spoke very slowly, as if immersed in the environment at that time, "In those days, my relationship with Qi'an has made great progress, he is very grateful to me, and said that he will try to accept me, if it continues like this, perhaps, we will come together...... Unfortunately, on the day I moved into my new apartment, I went to the mall to buy supplies for decorating my new home, and by accident, I met Mr. Wu......"
"Mr. Wu?"
Ning Qi's heart shook, "So what." β
"I can't tell now whether it's a good thing to meet Mr. Wu. β
Xu Luyao smiled softly, her eyes were full of bitterness, "Mr. Wu was sitting in the car at the time, he was just passing by the mall, and saw me coming out with a bunch of things, and then, his assistant stopped me, handed me a business card, and said that he wanted to ask me to dinner, I didn't care at all, and thought they were liars, so I threw the business card aside when I got home, and later, I saw Mr. Wu again downstairs in the apartment, he said that he wanted to know me, and in order to show his sincerity, he asked me if I needed it and could help me, and I was inexplicable, so I refused......"
"Who knew that within two days, Qi An happily told me that the lawsuit had progressed, and he was very likely to get his stepfather's inheritance, and the lawyer told him that it was Mr. Wu who was helping behind, and Qi An was still very puzzled, he didn't understand why the famous Mr. Wu wanted to help him......
Xu Luyao looked at Ning Qi, "But I can't pretend to be confused, I found my business card, made an appointment with Mr. Wu, and asked him why he wanted to help my boyfriend, Mr. Wu said...... For my face. β
"Your face?"
"Yes. β
Xu Luyao's eyes were dark, "He said that I looked very much like his first girlfriend, that girlfriend, passed away before he made his career, and he also showed me the photos, which is a bit similar, he said that he was old and wanted to make up for some of his past regrets, let me dress up as his first girlfriend, and accompany him ......"
Feeling Ning Qi holding her hand tightly, Xu Luyao laughed, "Ning Qi, don't you think, I'm a sellout, no, let's not talk about Mr. Wu's age, he has no shortage of women, he told me frankly that he just wants to see my face......
I would wear a cheongsam left by his first girlfriend and sit quietly, and sometimes, he wouldn't let me laugh, because when I laughed, it wouldn't look like it, and he would let me read some books of ancient poetry, because that's what his first girlfriend liked...... Anyway, I just got a job with a vase for Mr. Wu to enjoy. β
Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, "Zhou Qi'an also got Mr. Wu's appreciation because of this?"
"Hmm. β
Xu Luyao nodded, "I'm not stupid, I know Mr. Wu's ability, of course I have to hold on to this big tree, but at first, I didn't tell Qi'an this, he thought that he was lucky and could be appreciated by the big boss, until he hit me and got into the car sent by Mr. Wu, only to find out that I was actually pulling the strings from it......"
"Na Anzi ......"
Ning Qi's throat stalked, "Just accept it gladly?"
"He was in pain. β
Xu Luyao's eyes flushed, "He was very angry that day, he thought I was going to sell, and scolded me for being cheap, so I explained to him, I said I didn't do anything, he didn't believe it, and he wanted to go to Mr. Wu desperately, at this time, the lawyer called and told him the progress of the lawsuit, Qi'an may suddenly realize that he can't offend Mr. Wu, and he can't afford to offend, and then ......"
Ning Qi gently patted the back of her hand.
Silent comfort.
Mr. Wu's assistant then called him and said that Mr. Wu was willing to let him work in the group......
Xu Luyao closed her eyes, tears dripping like beads, "That night, Qi'an apologized to me, he said that he was very grateful to me, he would be good to me for the rest of his life, he didn't continue to blame me, he said he was not qualified...... He was indeed very good to me, but I felt that there was a barrier between us, I could not reach him, and he did not want to come near me again, no matter what I said, he believed me, but he was reluctant to even pretend to hug me......"
