Chapter 22: He's Gone

Xiao Xiao looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were dull, her parents, grandparents, and grandparents were all standing behind her, Xiao Xiao suddenly stood up and said to the people behind her, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Ten years, don't you remember the child?" the mother walked over and held Xiao Xiao's hand.

Xiao Xiao was expressionless, and dragged his mother excitedly, "Mom, I only remember that I had a car accident in my freshman year of high school, but I wasn't discharged from the hospital a month later?

"Kid, you never woke up after you had a car accident in your freshman year of high school, and you were in a coma for ten years. ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned, retreated to the side of the bed, her legs were weak, and she fell on the bed, her voice trembled, "Mom, did Dad's company have a financial crisis some time ago?"

"Yes, how did you know that, kid?" said Daddy, curious.

"Dad, although this crisis seems to be caused by the market, but I seem to be actually artificial, can make the financial fake accounts so realistic, and can easily put this fake account in the finance department, someone must have planned it in advance, I suggest you let the police do an in-depth investigation, not to take it lightly. Xiao Xiao's words surprised the two parents, and it was hard for them to imagine that their daughter, who had been in a coma, knew so much about the company's situation.

"Son, tell your mother that you have been in a coma for ten years, are you really in a coma, or have you woken up a long time ago?"

"Mom, I don't know how to explain this, maybe it's a dream, and it just so happens that I dreamed something that really happened in reality. Xiao Xiao's expression was dull and in a trance, everyone was very worried about her mental condition, and suddenly someone broke into the door, and a scream made the originally lifeless Xiao Xiao become active.

It turned out to be Zhou Yingying!

Xiao Xiao stood up and rushed to Yingying's side.

"Xiao Xiao, you're awake, it's great, it's great!" Ying Ying was full of tears and hugged Xiao Xiao excitedly.

"Yingying, where is my brother, didn't he come with you?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Which brother are you?"

"Which one else? your boyfriend Xiao Zhiming!" Xiao Xiao said.

I saw Ying Ying touch Xiao Xiao's forehead, "Xiao Xiao, your brain is confused, what is my boyfriend? Who is Xiao Zhiming? I don't know." ”

Xiao Xiao, who was full of smiles, instantly turned blue, and her gloomy demeanor frightened Yingying. Ying Ying stammered and asked, "Xiao, Xiao Xiao, why did your face suddenly turn pale?"

Xiao Xiao didn't speak, she turned around silently, sat on the edge of the bed, and when she heard Ying Ying's answer, she began to wonder, could it be that her ten years of life were really dreaming? Then why did she know about the crisis of her father's company? Is it really just a coincidence?

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao?" Ying Ying shook Xiao Xiao on the side.

"It's okay, I want to be discharged from the hospital, there is no need for treatment now. ”

"Child, no, the doctor said you need to recuperate for a while, you have to be hospitalized. Mom said anxiously.

"Mom, you don't have to worry, you can go home and recuperate, I think I'm very healthy now, and I'll be fine if I exercise more in the future." ”

Mom said that she couldn't help Xiao Xiao, so she followed her. They were discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The moment the door opened, Xiao Xiao stood in the living room in a daze, looking at this familiar home. Mom and Dad were busy with their luggage, and Mom said to Xiao Xiao happily: "Baby, this is our new home in Shanghai, I will take you to your house to see, Mom has been completely decorated according to your preferences before." ”

Xiao Xiao came to her room, she stroked the table, the chair, and the soft quilt, "Mom, you go out first, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Okay, you go to bed first, and I'll call you again when we have dinner. Mom walked out and closed the door softly.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly opened the wardrobe, the wardrobe was full of clothes, she threw all the clothes on the bed in a panic, nervously pulling each piece of clothing, she slumped on the ground, "Why? Why is the home in reality exactly the same as the home in my dreams? My bed, my quilt, my wardrobe, and even my clothes are exactly the same as the styles I bought before, the only difference is that these clothes are all new." Why? What the hell is going on here?" Xiao Xiao had a splitting headache, holding his head tightly and hiding in a corner.

The next day, Xiao Xiao came to his father's company, and the Xiao Group, which had just passed the crisis, changed its face, launched a new business, attracted many investors, and achieved unprecedented results since the company went public. Today, the company happened to hold a new press conference, and Chairman Xiao planned to announce his daughter Xiao Xiao to the public, but fortunately, Xiao Xiao went in time to stop his father's practice.

Xiao Xiao knows that the Xiao Group is no longer a small company as before, but has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now it has received a lot of media attention, Xiao Xiao likes to live a free and easy life, if he is chased by a bunch of reporters every day in the future, it must be a very bad thing. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao met a person at the press conference - Jiang Xinyi.

Xiao Xiao walked over and said hello politely, Jiang Xinyi was at a loss for Xiao Xiao's hello, but out of politeness, she also said hello.

"Miss Jiang Xinyi, I didn't expect you to appear at today's press conference. After Xiao Xiao said this, he felt very strange, why did he call this name so smoothly?

"Oh, do you know me?" Jiang Xinyi's eyes widened, "but it's not surprising, because of my father, many people I don't know know know me." ”

"Also, Miss Jiang's father is Jiang Zheng, the chairman of Yijia Real Estate, and many people know that Miss Jiang Xinyi is the major shareholder of Yijia Company, and I am no exception. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao regretted it, did he say the wrong thing? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he recognized the wrong person?

"I'm a good shareholder, but I'm not a major shareholder circulating outside, don't believe those rumors. Excuse me, who is Miss?"

"My name is Xiao Xiao, an unknown junior, and I came to join in the fun. ”

"Oh, Miss Xiao, I still have something to do, let's meet again. After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Xiao Xiao froze in place, looking at this beautiful back, thoughtful.

In the evening, Xiao Xiao directly asked Ying Ying to eat at the western restaurant downstairs.

"Miss Xiao, what's the matter, I want you to come forward to invite me to dinner in person!" Ying Ying cut the steak on the plate into pieces and handed it to Xiao Xiao, "In order to thank you for your hospitality, I am happy to serve you." ”

"Thank you!" Xiao Xiao took the plate and ate a piece of beef, "Delicious! It's so delicious! Yingying, I really have something to call you out today." ”

"Tell me about it. Ying Ying said.

"Jiang Xinyi, the daughter of Jiang Zheng, chairman of Yijia Real Estate, have you heard of it?" asked Xiao Xiao.

"I know, some time ago, Chairman Jiang and Chairman Xiao signed a cooperation agreement, as if to build a financial real estate project, I don't know what the specific cooperation process is, but I heard that his only daughter Jiang Xinyi is the chief planner of this project. ”

"No wonder I saw Jiang Xinyi at today's press conference. Yingying, this Miss Jiang, is she married? Or who her previous boyfriend was, do you know?"

Ying Ying looked at Xiao Xiao intently, "I said Miss Xiao, you will inquire about people as soon as you wake up, I wonder, when did this Miss Jiang offend you? Could it be that you got caught up in the first meeting?"

"Oh, no, where do you want to go, I asked about her husband because I wanted to inquire about someone, you help me investigate, is this Jiang Xinyi's husband named Huang Haitao. ”

"Okay, I'll give you the results tomorrow, but what's in it for me? Ying Ying grinned.

"I asked my dad to give you a promotion and a raise. Xiao Xiao's expression was firm.

"Forget it, because of my friendship with you, Uncle Xiao has taken good care of me, and if I am given a promotion and a salary increase, others should have opinions. Ying Ying pursed her lips.

"Then what do you want?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Why don't you go to work at the Shaw Group too, and let's be a companion?"

Xiao Xiao took a sip of juice, "This matter will be discussed later." ”

The next day, Xiao Xiao received Yingying's WeChat, and left a message on WeChat: Xiao Xiao, Jiang Xinyi's husband is called Li Guoqiang, but she has an ex-husband named Huang Haitao.

Xiao Xiao immediately replied: Help me inquire about Huang Haitao's whereabouts.

Ying Ying replied: It is said that Huang Haibo passed away a year ago, dying of cancer.

"Dead?" Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that her eyes were dim, her eyes were full of stars, and she was at a loss as if she had lost her soul.

According to the news that Ying Ying inquired, Xiao Xiao came to Huang Haitao's grave, which was full of irises, and an old man who swept the tomb came to Xiao Xiao, "Excuse me, are you Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at the old man with a vicissitudes of life, "Grandma, hello, I'm Xiao Xiao." ”

The old man smiled, "Child, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." I saw her trembling hand reach into the pocket of her coat, take out a letter, and hand it to Xiao Xiao.

"Child, this is a letter that Huang Haitao left you a year ago, you take it. ”

"Grandma, who are you from Huang Haitao?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"I'm not his person, Mr. Huang was kind to me before, and after his death, I had nothing to repay him, so I could only help him sweep the grave. With that, the old man left.

Xiao Xiao opened the envelope, and in addition to a letter, there was also a 'year ring'. Xiao Xiao took the 'annual ring' and turned the pointer to today's date.

The autumn wind was gentle and interfering, drying the tears on Xiao Xiao's face, and she stood in front of the tomb and opened the letter. The letter said:

Xiao Xiao, I don't know if I can see you in this life, but I have only had you in my heart for so many years.

When I was in my third year of high school, I often saw you on the list, and I was always curious about what kind of girl could always be the first in the whole school?

On the day of the end of the college entrance examination, I accidentally knocked you down on campus, and I was about to go over to help you, but your friends around you had already helped you up, and I was going to go over to say sorry to you, but I didn't expect you to leave silently. The first time I realized that I didn't even have a chance to talk to you......

On the day the results of the college entrance examination came down, unfortunately, I knew that my score would not be admitted to Peking University, so I decided to repeat my studies, and I returned to school, and you happened to be in high school at this school. The pressure of studying has long been overwhelming, but what I didn't expect was that we met by chance, and I think this should be the biggest gain for me when I returned to school, because in the next few years, you have been living in my memory.

On the day of your car accident, I happened to be on the other side of the road, I saw clearly, a big truck rushed over, you were hit far, far away, I immediately ran over, picked up the weak you, called 120, sent you to the hospital, and waited until your family was gone before I left.

A lot of people think it was an accident, but I don't think so, I feel like the big truck is coming at you, because it has been parked on the road for a long time, just waiting for the moment you appear. Since I was still a student at that time, I didn't dare to say such a guess.
