Chapter Forty-Nine: Becoming the Culprit
"Hey, where are you the murderer Luo?" As soon as I heard such a cheap voice, I knew that it was Su Xihang's ghost
I said I'm on my way home, what's the matter with you.
"Well, I'm at your doorstep. Let's go to the vet hospital together. ”
I crunched and slammed on the brakes, "What are you doing at the pet hospital? I just came back from there today to pick up that one-"
"Go and accompany my sister. ”
I didn't react for a moment. asked stupidly: "Sister Su is sick!"
I could already feel the white eyes of Su Xihang on the other end of the phone, and he lazily teased me: "I said that it was a pet hospital! You are sick and go to the veterinarian? Yes, my sister is very sad." Come with me to accompany her. ”
My heart thumped, no wonder this guy called me a 'murderer' as soon as he opened his mouth. Alas, I am to blame for my obedient death.
As I spoke, I had already parked my car in the parking space of the community. I saw Su Xihang leaning in front of his car door and waving at me.
I ran down and said with a regretful face, "How can this be? Sister Su, she's now-"
Alas, when I think of that yellow and silly cat, I don't feel good in my heart. I said I'll go with me, it's my responsibility anyway. Two days ago, I heard Sister Su say that the situation was not right, and I didn't expect it to be ...... so soon
Susi Hang pulled me into his car. Then he said something to me that made me even more uncomfortable -
"Obediently left by my sister's fiancé, the man died in a car accident before getting married. My sister didn't marry for six years, so she raised her as a son. ”
I said that I only know that Sister Su is a strong and independent female doctor, and she is not married in her thirties. How could I have thought that there is such a poignant secret in this!
I knew that this was the case, not to mention that Zhou Nan was going to divorce me. Even if it's an earthquake or a tsunami, I can't just leave myself at home!
Alas, I was still laughing at people Su Beiwang for not knowing how to raise cats, but in fact, I was a fool myself.
Su Xihang and I came to a pet hospital, and from a distance, we saw Su Nanxun kneeling on a bench, looking into the room with a sad gaze leaning against the glass window.
I walked forward in embarrassment, and Su Xihang, who was on the side, whispered to me that the doctor had arranged for peace inside.
There were tears in the corners of Sunanxun's eyes, and when he saw the two of us, he pretended to sit up with smiling eyes: "Alas, I said that you are busy with your business, and I came here for a special trip." I...... I'm fine. ”
Sister Su ...... "Hearing her say this, I was even more embarrassed."
Turning my head inward, I watched as the little fluffy thing lay weakly together with a white cloth over its belly. It had a lingering breath that made my heart feel as uncomfortable.
But apart from apologizing, I don't know what else I can do for Sunan Kaoru. And Su Xihang, who was on the side, gently hugged her sister's shoulders and let her suppress her emotions. Tears flowed but did not stop.
That's when the veterinarian came out. Give some of the relevant formalities to Sunan Kaoru.
As a general practice, a dead pet left in a pet hospital will not be taken away by its owner. The hospital will cremate and then return the ashes to the owner's family for burial.
"This is the relevant information, ma'am, please keep it. Rest assured, we'll take care of your child's aftermath. ”
Professional doctors don't call 'cats and dogs', they all call children.
Sunan Kaoru nodded and said that he had to work.
"Take the form, pick it up in three days. ”
But just when the doctor was about to hand over the information documents to Su Nanxun, Su Xihang, who was standing behind him, suddenly intercepted it.
He lowered his head and flipped over, and suddenly frowned: "Doctor, it says that the heart failure is caused by fibrous and rigid lesions in the heart muscle, right?"
"Yes. The doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
I know this, and she said the same thing when she had dinner with Sunan Kaoru on Friday.
"What about the cause?" asked Sussi.
The doctor spread his hands helplessly: "It may be a natural lesion of the organ, or it may be ...... Is a drug or food allergy.
Cats are no better than humans, and sometimes just a small amount of elements or bacteria can be deadly. ”
I looked at Su Xihang in amazement, and I always felt that he looked like a virgin when he took the autopsy report. There's no sense of disobedience.
I leaned over and said, "Hey, do you see what's wrong?"
"Ask you, what have you eaten for your obedient servant?" Su Xihang glanced at me.
I was so aggrieved that I almost cried: "I don't know, I don't have cockroach medicine at home." It just nibbled on the floor with a la carte and fish soup, and I made it that day.
Could it be that the water is not clean the next day? Or is it that there are heavy metals in the ring that I swallowed? ”
"Forget it, don't blame Luo Qi for Western Airlines. Sunan Xun patted me on the shoulder: "Thank you for coming over to accompany it on its last journey, obediently knowing that there are so many people who care about him, he must have walked very peacefully."
Oh, I heard that Beiwang really brought that kitten back?"
"Yes," I nodded. I said I just picked it up this afternoon.
"That...... Sister Su, if you feel too uncomfortable, I will discuss with him to send Xiao Qi to you. ”
The moment I mentioned 'Xiaoqi', Su Xihang shivered deliberately exaggerated and pursed his lips in disgust.
I gave him a blank look: "Do you have any opinions?"
"It's nothing, goosebumps and porridge. He had a smiling smile on his face, and it made my opinion of him drop to 0 again.
"No need," Sunan smiled slightly at the tears: "It's not something that any cat can replace, not to mention that it's rare for Beiwang to make such a determination, I won't win people's love."
Do you know that ever since he was fifteen years old, when he was frightened by a cage of Xiaobai, he was afraid of hairy animals—"
"Ahem," Su Xihang rolled up the report in his hand and stared at it: "Where is Xiaobai?? I kindly prepared a birthday gift for him, seven rats painted in rainbow colors to pull the balloons for him to pull a happy birthday, like a pumpkin carriage." You can think of such a great idea?
I have to be beaten and scolded, I am not wronged!"
Me: "......"
On the way back, I didn't say a word.
However, Su Xihang chattered all the way: "Hey, Su Beiwang really wants to raise a cat?" He's scared of cats to death, and you can't rely on them at all, so let's let other cats go!"
"It's still called Xiaoqi, what year is it, and you still use your pet name to show affection, it's really people-
Besides, both of you are novices, in case there are three long and two short, how unlucky is the same name?"
"Su Xihang, what do you mean!" I was already listening to the low, but now listening to his yin and yang weird cool words is even more popular!
"Xiaoqi was saved by me and Su Beiwang, if you want to curse her again, I will turn my face with you.
Yes, I admit that I didn't look good at it, but I've already apologized, and Sister Su doesn't blame me, you're still there!"
Su Xihang probably didn't expect me to be really unhappy, so he softened his tone and sighed: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that obedient death report - alas, forget it, you can't understand it." ”
He shrugged his shoulders and pouted, so much so that I wanted to push the door and die with him.
"But...... If two people have a pet together, does that mean you're together?"
I really wanted to cry without tears: "It's okay if I don't have a relationship with Su Beiwang!
Besides, we're all adults, even if ...... Well, don't do your business, do you?"
"OK, when I'm talkative. Let's go, what do you want to eat?" This guy really doesn't have any temper, and he was yelled at like a third grandson by me, and he wasn't angry or annoyed.
I said I don't eat, I don't have an appetite, send me home.
As a result, he took out a bun from behind him like magic: "Here, it's still a little hot." ”
I said, how do you know I didn't eat dinner?
"Nonsense, because Su Beiwang doesn't have anything to eat at home. His fridge was frozen only with mineral water and stimulants. ”
I was indeed a little hungry and took a small bite of the bun.
The bun had oil, and I went to draw a tissue, but it rang at this moment.
I saw that the name on the incoming call screen was Su Beiwang, but I didn't have time to stop Su Xihang's magic hand from taking mine!
"You eat yours, I'll help you listen—"
"Hey!"
Before I could pounce, he had already pressed my answer button!
"Is there something wrong with you? Luo Qi is eating, it's inconvenient to pick up. ”
"I-"
I skimmed half of the bun down the window, and grabbed Su Xihang's face with my greasy hand. But when they grabbed it, all that was left was the beeping.
"Su Xihang, what are you doing!" I was really angry, I was useless, and my eyes were red when I was angry.
He looked me up and down, his eyes innocent. To be honest, the eyes of these two people are almost identical, but the innocent look is a very cute and the other is very bad......
"You were eating, and I wasn't lying. Besides, I didn't say anything else, why are you so nervous? I don't want him to know you're with me?"
I was choked by his words and almost ran out of oxygen, and I stared at my eyes for a long time before I squeezed out a sentence:
"You're really annoying, no wonder it's with your dad and brother—"
However, I stopped, I still understand the truth that human words are like knives. What's more, as a sensible adult, I should know that some words touch the bottom line.
But Su Xihang was not stupid, and obviously had already heard the meaning of my words.
The corners of his lips pulled up a sneer, and he swam his eyes: "No wonder what? No wonder people like me are not treated well by my family?"
I bit my lip and I said sorry I didn't mean that.
With a brush, he braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road.
"Get out of the car. ”
"Hey—" I looked at him in a daze. I want to say I'm sorry but I feel a little too pretentious.
Su Xihang didn't speak, just stared at the car door with his eyes.
I reluctantly pushed it away, and I was stupid.
Anyway, you're so ungraceful, didn't you, just throw me on the side of the road alone? I looked up at the sign, and there were still two intersections from home.
I stepped on my high heels and rubbed forward with a depressed stomach. Unexpectedly, a minute later, Su Xihang's car actually turned back.
Rolling down the window, he leaned out: "Miss, do you want a ride?"
Damn, is this guy a goldfish? Only seven seconds of memory?
I gave him a blank look: "Master, how much is Jinhai Garden." ”
"It's time to change shifts, and the last job is cheap for you. Kiss me and leave, no meter, no ticket. ”
I said get out, but my hand didn't hesitate to pull open the door - alas, the typical lip service says no, but the body is honest.
The master of the motorcycle who came to ask for business next to him was dumbfounded on the spot, and shouted at me for a long time: "Girl, don't be fooled!"
Later, along the way, the two of us laughed together, and it took half a day to control our emotions. I asked him, what else do you think is wrong with dying obediently?
Su Xihang picked his lips and put on a look that could not be revealed, which really made me want to pinch him to death every minute.
It was only when I got home and quieted down that my mind began to get worried. It was almost ten o'clock, and Su Beiwang's phone never came again.
I felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, and it took a lot of courage to call it...... As a result, it shut down!
I think he may have misunderstood something, or maybe he just hated me for staying with Su Xihang.
What to do? How do I explain to him?
"If you say how do I explain?!" I picked Han Ruochu up from his sleep with a phone call.
"Why do you want to explain, do you care about him very much?" Han Ruochu's fatal truth with a slumber bubble sound finally made me realize this problem-why should I care if Su Beiwang is unhappy......? It's nothing to me.
Early Monday morning, when I passed by the parking lot, I deliberately looked at Su Beiwang's car, but I didn't come.
I don't know why I'm worried, I'm always worried about whether he has an infected wound, a fever, and a cat bite!
"Sister Luo, are you here?" Hearing someone call me behind me, I shook my spirits, it turned out to be Xiao Wang of the department.
I was startled, and when I turned around, I recognized it as Xiao Wang, a new colleague in the department.
I asked him if he was looking for me.
"It's nothing, didn't you go to the training last Friday?" Xiao Wang said: "I helped you copy all the courseware, did you bring it with the USB drive?"
I said okay, I'll go to your office. We have more than 30 people in the R&D department, divided into two offices. Xiao Wang is in the room next to me.
So I got on the elevator and pulled into my pocket - hey, what about my USB drive?
I looked at the empty keychain and remembered that I used to have a USB drive tied to it.
When was the last time you used it......
I recalled, and it seemed to be—by the way, Su Beiwang asked me to copy a compressed file on Friday, and said that it was some of my father's previous research copywriting......
then copied a season of "Breaking Bad" from Shu Ting in the afternoon, and then ...... Where?!
"Ah, sorry, I probably didn't bring it. I reluctantly threw my hands at my colleague.
Xiao Wang nodded and said that it was okay to send an email or not.
As soon as I entered the office, I heard a few people talking over there, and I said: Don't mention Zhou Nan and Xiao Li, don't mention that pair of sluts again!
Fortunately, they were talking about an executive from the second R&D department.
"Have you heard, the senior manager of the second department has resigned. "Shu Ting can always be at the forefront of timely news, and efficiency is directly proportional to the sincerity of muscles.
"Why? He's been doing it for years. ”
"Can't you see this? 'Health Star' is about to go public, and most of the credit will be due to our department at that time. Next year's R&D director will be our old pass. Manager Gao also looked at him and felt that he had no play, so he found another job. ”
I listened to the excitement, so I leaned over: "Finding another high? So, people have already had a way back?"
In the entire S City, who else can talk to us Zhongke-"
At this point, everyone tacitly agreed.
Speaking of the first competitor of Zhongke Pharmaceutical, I am afraid it is none other than Kanglin Pharmaceutical. The major shareholder behind the group has always been very mysterious, in short, it has changed n vests in the three years since it was listed, but the price-earnings ratio has remained stable.
In the past year or so, its pace of expansion and annexation is comparable to Sima Zhao's heart, and several executives have been poached in Zhongke one after another.
In fact, I also understand that it is not unreasonable for the senior manager next door to leave at such a time.
"Luo Qi, are you free?" Guan Chengqing poked his head out of the room: "Help me watch the distillation machine." ”
I said oh, then put my things down and got in.
Guan Chengqing is doing an experiment on the resection of coerulean spores, and there can be no time error at all. I stood next to the instrument, helping him keep an eye on the distillation, and listening to him talk to me without a match.
"I wanted to go to your house on Sunday, but my aunt said that you went out, and I said that Mr. Luo's things-"
I raised my eyes, and I said Lao Guan, can you tell me the truth?
"Huh?" Guan Chengqing's hand shook. Come on, let's change the experimental sample.
"Luo Qi, I know that you and Shu Ting are good friends, and I also understand some things. Guan Chengqing didn't look at my eyes, and went straight to the sterile cabinet to take a petri dish.
I said it wasn't emotional, I said I felt ...... Do you have something in my dad's?
Or rather, what do you need from my dad?
"I don't understand what you mean. Guan Chengqing paused.
I sighed: "We've known each other for more than ten years, so what can't I say directly?" The information left by my dad is not exclusive to him, and when he passed away, many people from the company and the team came to take over his copywriting materials, and most of the useful things were picked out. If you still have needs, you can tell me and my mom directly. It's like Principal Huang also came over a few days ago to get it—"
"Principal Huang also went?" Guan Chengqing turned his face and looked at me.
I nodded, and I said whatever you wanted, I'll give it to you. I just don't really like my old friends for many years, and I'm always knocking on the side.
"Luo Qi, actually I ......" Guan Chengqing motioned for me to sit down, with a sad look on his face: "I'm sorry, I won't tell you...... It's because I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that you know that now that the 'Health Star' is about to be listed, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Zhongke at such a critical time?
Tang is always cautious, and he will be more worried about the source of the project——"
I hung my head and said twice. I said I understand, Tang is always afraid that my father still has some important secrets in his hands that have not been handed over, in case someone takes the lead and ruins the great cause of our Zhongke, right?
Guan Chengqing said that he was sorry, he also has a wife and children, and a family to support...... What Mr. Tang ordered, he had to do.
"After all, you don't trust me. Worried that I will catch some patent loopholes and eat two of them, and hit Zhongke a rake?" "I said Lao Guan, why do I think - these rumors made out of nothing are like what Xiao Li said to Mr. Tang?"
Guan Chengqing said that he didn't know, but Tang always had instructions.
I said okay, since you can't trust me, get a search warrant from the police station. I said that my father has passed away, and I Luo Qi will not use my father's merit book to make seven twists and three with my ability, right?
However, no matter how familiar Uncle Tang is, a businessman always has the nature of a businessman. I can understand that.
"Luo Qi, I'm really sorry. ”
"Don't say it, I don't blame you. Find a time next week, I'll pour out my dad's study and leave everything up for you. ”
Walking out of the lab, I hid in the bathroom and wiped my face twice. Thinking back to the conversation just now, I really feel blocked and sour in my heart.
Thinking about the slander that Xiao Li told Zhou Nan before, it is really eye-catching. My mother and I have a good conscience, the patents of the 'Health Star' have been expressly transferred to Zhongke by my father and Principal Huang, unless the research results deviate from the actual situation, otherwise I just have the thief's heart and I don't have the thief's ability!
It's really the heart of a villain, and the belly of a gentleman.
But as soon as I thought of this, I suddenly realized one thing - Su Beiwang seemed to have mentioned some things about my father to me intentionally or unintentionally before, and also gave me some copies of information on the USB drive.
Where's my USB drive?
Biting my lip, I finally couldn't hold back and called Su Beiwang.
Thankfully, it finally got through. But his voice was decidedly not very enthusiastic.
I felt a little uncomfortable and asked him how your injuries were.
"It's nothing, I'll go back to the company after another day off. ”
“…… You"
"Actually, I ......"
He sighed on the other end of the phone and said let me speak first.
I adjusted my breathing, and I said that Sister Su's obedientness was gone last night, she was very sad, and I felt that I was responsible for this, so I went to accompany her, and Su Xihang was also ......
I admit that I avoided the important and did not mention the fact that Su Xihang deliberately came to me.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and I began to wonder if the person had hung up.
I fed weakly, but luckily, he was still breathing.
"You don't need to explain anything to me. ”
"I ...... I don't have an explanation. I just thought about Xiaoqi...... It's not easy to have a cat, and you can keep it and cherish it. "My mouth is stiff, and my confidence is soft.
"Come to my house at night after work and help me bathe the cat. ”
"Oh, good. ”
After hanging up the phone, I touched my hot cheek - hey?!What the hell am I calling him for? Didn't I want to talk about USB drives!!!
Forget it, let's talk about it in the evening.
When I was about to get off work, my mother called me and said that she was free to let me go to Zhou Nan's red patent leather box to get it back.
"Got it," I look at the time, from here to Subei Wang's house is through Zhou Nan, it's better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, just drop by and bring it back.
Anyway, it's my mother's dowry, and it means a lot, don't let those sluts be thrown away as rags.
I went to the operations department to find Zhou Nan and was told that he had taken leave this afternoon.
I called him and he told me he was at home and that I could just come over.
Hehe, he's at home in broad daylight, won't he be serving Xiao Li's little moon.
After driving downstairs, I said Zhou Nan to bring it down for me, I was too lazy to go up.
Zhou Nan hesitated: "En...... Come on, Xiao Li has gone to meet the client, my mother is at home. ”
Mother-in-law?
Oh, ex-mother-in-law!
From the divorce to the present, I have not been to see Ding Hemei. When I used to be a daughter-in-law, she treated me pretty well. That's of course - with my family background, I can't please the elders more than a girl like Xiao Li.
It's a pity that later, my stomach has never moved, and my mother-in-law's face is getting worse day by day.
Everyone has their own little abacus, and I don't have the heart to sigh more about right and wrong.
rang the doorbell, and I looked at Zhou Nan in surprise in a funny apron outfit-
In the three years I've been married, I never knew he could cook!
"My mom had just been discharged from the hospital, and I picked her up for a few days. He rubbed his apron helplessly: "You...... Going to see ......"
I said I'll take a look at the old man.
Pushing the door in, I pretended to be smiling and called Auntie.
Ding Hemei has kidney disease and just had a major surgery last month. I don't know what the prognosis will be at this time, but I look good anyway.
She was embarrassed to see me, I know. I thought that it would be just like this for a while anyway, just a polite half-sentence, and bear with each other.
"Luo Qi, you ......"
"Auntie, don't get up, I'll take something and leave. I stepped forward and helped her to lie down.
Zhou Nan stood behind him and scratched his head, saying that he went to the kitchen to watch some fish, and the box had been placed in the living room for me.
He's also learned to make fish?
I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Luo Qi," Ding Hemei took my hand, and the wetness in those eyes didn't look like pretending: "It's our Ah Nan who can't stand you, in fact, I don't feel good in my heart." But...... But you also know that there is only one man in our family, and you have not had a man and a woman all these years.
What the hell am I ......."
"Auntie, I understand. I smiled slightly: "Zhou Nan and Xiao Li are in love, but I delayed them." Rest assured, they will have children again soon. You're just waiting to hold your grandson—"
I said I had something to do, so I'd go first.
I don't want to talk to Ding Holmes anymore, there's no need. Who wouldn't sprinkle extra tears, Zhou Nan is a-eater, and a mother also thinks that her son is fragrant!
On the floor of the living room was the red lacquer box that I was going to take away, and I took out the key and said that you can dispose of the wedding photos casually, and I will take the box away.
Zhou Nan was a little embarrassed and said let me take care of myself, and he still had to look at the fish soup stewed on the balcony.
I pretended to ask lightly, could it be that the strong woman in the family is too busy, and he has to do it himself?
As a result, his face was strange, and he whispered that Xiao Li liked to drink soup more. Jin dough intestines.
I really didn't expect that my heart, which was like water, would be so sour at this moment.
Actually, it's not a big deal to think about it. Because of love, he regarded her as a treasure, and was willing to do anything. Because I don't love me, he treats me like a mustard, and everything I do is a bird's business.
I bent down to open the box, and a few albums were poured out in one go, blowing the dust on them.
I think if I could be willing not to be so self-deluded to see what kind of helpless expression Zhou Nan had in the wedding photos - I wouldn't have brought myself to such an embarrassing situation today.
I said then I'm leaving, I wish you - fish, don't go any further.
With a groan, he rushed into the kitchen, picking up the frying spoon that was already on fire. Fall to the ground with a thud!
I stared coldly, and I was amused.
Do you think it's so easy for you to go home every day for three years and eat ready-made things? Do you think it's easy for a woman to give up her career and serve you three meals a day at home?
"Your fish soup is too dry, you should add some water starch to it. I said coldly.
"I ...... I don't know...... Alas," Zhou Nan subconsciously reached out and pulled down the locker.
I said no.
I didn't have time to buy it when I left, and I added a spoonful of protein powder to replace the last meal of West Lake vinegar fish.
As I spoke, I looked over to the storage shelves in the living room. Originally, there was more than half a jar of protein powder there, which my mother brought because I was pregnant. But that thing was tasteless and astringent, and I basically didn't move.
My dad used to eat a little porridge at breakfast, because he worked too hard.
"That red jar ......" Zhou Nan said embarrassedly, "Xiao Li may have thrown it away when he cleaned up the house." ”
I said it didn't matter, I didn't even belong to this family anyway, let alone my stuff.
After a little look at the furnishings in the house, I found that Xiao Li had moved almost every corner. Even the placement of the shelves in the study has changed significantly-hehe, I can understand the cleanliness of the junior after he took the position, but is it to this extent?
It's like a sweep, and it makes me wonder if she's here to find treasure!
I went downstairs with the old box, and Zhou Nan stood at the door with his pot of burnt vegetables.
"Luo Qi, if you think ...... If it's awkward, I'll either resign. ”
I thought I had a bad ear. I said don't say such things, as if I can't tolerate you two bitter mandarin ducks.
I admit that because of my father's relationship and the previous photo incident, Xiao Li and Zhou Nan did not have a good time in the company.
But to speak in conscience, no matter how scummy Zhou Nan is, he still has two brushes at work. What's more, he has been in Zhongke for many years, so if he really leaves......
"Xiao Li also wants me to resign," Zhou Nan sighed: "But I don't know what's wrong, it's a little ...... to think of leaving Zhongke
After all, some things say leave when they leave, and it doesn't seem to hurt or itch at the time. But then it wasn't like that......
That's why I'm ...... this time Be cautious. Sister-in-law Love to the left, look to the right
I sneered, "What do you want to say? Leave me, do you feel no pain or itch or pain and itching?"
Go back to the house and take care of your mother, not to mention those who don't. If you still have a little filial piety, don't let the old man apologize for you with a shy face. I'm leaving. ”
Back in the car, I drove all the way to Wangjia in northern Jiangsu.
The mood was not as comfortable as just now, because I admitted that Zhou Nan's stupid appearance in an apron just now still accidentally shocked me......
How simple it is to love someone, that is, to cook for him willingly!
It was exactly seven o'clock when I arrived at Su Beiwang's apartment, and he texted me before that he didn't need to bring it, and I guess he should have ordered takeout to make dinner.
But I really didn't expect that Su Beiwang, who came out to open the door, turned out to be-
