Chapter Twenty-Five: Discovering Her Heart
On the silver-gray Audi car, the atmosphere was a little awkward and condensed.
Nannai sat upright in the passenger seat, occasionally looking at the handsome man beside him insolently.
Zhou Zerui looked straight ahead and drove with a focused face, his moist lips pursed, and there was an inexplicable seriousness on his face.
The green light just turned red in front of him, and the car stopped steadily behind the white line, and he glanced sideways at Nannai beside him, who met his gaze with a smile on his face.
"Are you really okay?" she said to him without saying anything, he had no idea when she was sick and when she was unwell.
Nannai lowered her eyes, a determined look on her face as if she had made a decision.
"Actually, I really didn't go to the hospital because I wasn't feeling well, but because my mother was sick. β
"Your mother?" Zhou Zerui's face showed a rare look of surprise.
It was the first time he had heard about her family.
"She had been sick for a long time, and I thought I would never have a chance to talk to her again, but God suddenly opened a door to me and gave me hope. Nannai's words were a little vague, after all, she still didn't want Zhou Zerui to know too much about her past.
Zhou Zerui nodded knowingly, "Bad things will always pass, and your mother will definitely recover." β
"Thank you, Master. β
"Tomorrow night is the night of the charity dinner in S City, I want you to attend as my female companion, are you willing?" Zhou Zerui's hands clenched the steering wheel, his face was as steady as Mount Tai, but his heart couldn't hide his nervousness.
Nan Nai looked at Zhou Zerui in surprise, "Master, when did you like to attend that kind of high-profile dinner?"
She heard that the charity dinner tomorrow night would be attended by many celebrities and nobles in S City, and she remembered that the master hated that kind of occasion the most, so it was Gu Yang who went to decorate the faΓ§ade over the years.
"Gu Yang went on strike this year and asked me as a licensee of the firm to do something in front of the public no matter what, and I had no choice but to go. Zhou Zerui explained expressionlessly.
Nan Nai understood, so Master just wanted one more person to accompany him to support the scene.
"Master called, then I will definitely not refuse Master, don't worry, tomorrow night, I will definitely accompany you. Nannai patted her chest as a reassurance.
Zhou Zerui lowered his eyes, a fleeting smile appeared on his face, the red light in front of him turned green, he pressed the handbrake, and continued to focus on driving in the direction of the hospital.
Nan Nai signed the consent form for surgery in Chen Jun's office, and then went to the ward to see Lin Yixiu, Zhou Zerui followed her silently throughout the whole process, and there were some things she didn't say, and he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Nan Nai sat on the edge of Lin Yixiu's bed, took the sleeping Lin Yixiu's hand, told about the big and small things in life, and introduced Zhou Zerui to Lin Yixiu, Zhou Zerui was happy and cooperated to greet the sleeping Lin Yixiu.
After sitting for a while, Nan Nai put down Lin Yixiu's hand, helped her cover the quilt, and stood up from the chair next to the bed.
"Master, let's go. β
"You can spend a little more time with your mother. "It's still a long time before I get to work.
Nan Nai shook her head gently, "Master, my mother doesn't really need me to accompany her, she needs me to work hard to make her sick better, so that when she wakes up, she can live a carefree life." β
Zhou Zerui suddenly understood why she had worked so hard in the past five years.
It turned out that it was not that she loved her work, let alone that she was chasing fame and fortune, what she did was just for her mother.
He had misunderstood her for a while, and maybe in the days to come, he should discover more of her inner side.
