Chapter 29: You Dare to Do Something Stupid Again
During breakfast, Zhou Lin felt that Duan Yehan was in a good mood, so he said with a smile: "Son, today is the weekend after breakfast and accompany my mother to the hospital." β
Suddenly hearing his mother say this, Duan Yehan was very nervous, "Mom, are you uncomfortable?"
Zhou Lin smiled and shook her head, "No." It's your dad's friend's wife, and your dad is too busy, so let me go and see it. β
Duan Yehan exhaled lightly and replied, "Okay, I know." β
Duan Meixi lay in the hospital for two days, although the wound was no longer painful. However, because there was already a scar on the finger when I picked up the cup fragment last time, the gauze on the head was not removed to avoid a scar on the head. Duan Meixi was not a quiet girl in the first place, and she was very uncomfortable lying on the hospital bed as if she had been pointed. So just now the doctor came to inform her that she would be discharged from the hospital in a few days, thinking that if she didn't get out of bed at this time, why would she stay even longer? Duan Meixi was prone to thirst as soon as she was free, and she couldn't wait to rush out of the ward to find a drink machine, even if there was no beer, she would never drink plain water.
Duan Yehan helped Zhou Lin out of the ward, "Mom, I'm tired." β
Zhou Lin turned her face sideways and looked at Duan Yehan with a smile, "Mom is not so easy to get tired, it's just that every time I come to visit the doctor, I always feel that I have to get sick too." β
Duan Yehan took Zhou Lin's hand, "It's Mom who thinks too much, your body is very good." Let's go to dinner. β
Zhou Lin gently patted the back of Duan Yehan's hand and sighed, "Hey, when can you have dinner with my girlfriend." β
Duan Yehan smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it good for the two of us to eat." β
Zhou Lin was already sitting in the car, but suddenly said to Duan Yehan: "Son, Mom's handbag has fallen in the ward." β
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, Duan Yehan got out of the car, closed the door, and said to Zhou Lin in the car, "Mom is waiting for me in the car, I'll help you get it back." β
Duan Yehan took Zhou Lin's handbag and was about to go back, but saw Duan Meixi in a hospital gown in the corridor. Duan Meixi didn't notice him at all while drinking Coke while walking, Duan Yehan looked at her back and said in a calm tone, "Xiaoxi." β
"Huh?" Duan Meixi turned around with a smile, her face still with the satisfaction of tasting Coke. However, when she saw Duan Yehan standing behind her, the empty bottle in her hand fell to the ground, "Brother β’β’β’β’β’β’"
Duan Yehan walked into Duan Meixi, and his sharp gaze swept all over her body, "Who injured you?"
"β’β’β’β’β’β’" Duan Meixi didn't dare to look at Duan Yehan's eyes for the first time, and was speechless in front of him for the first time.
"Looks like I'm spoiling you too much. In the future, it will no longer be up to you. Duan Yehan no longer looked at Duan Meixi, turned around and walked straight forward.
"Brother!" Duan Meixi trotted after him.
"I'll ask you again who hurt you. The gentleness in Duan Yehan's eyes completely turned into a serious gaze at this time.
"I accidentally β’β’β’β’β’β’ it myself"
"Xiaoxi, I'm no one else, it's your brother. Do you think you can fool me?" Duan Yehan held Duan Meixi's shoulders with both hands, and his heart-wrenching gaze was projected into her eyes.
Duan Meixi took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly at him, "Yes, I deliberately injured myself and blamed Gu Qiumei." β
"Xiaoxi, come home with me. Duan Yehan's hands slid down Duan Meixi's shoulders until he held her hand tightly.
Duan Meixi shook off Duan Yehan's hand without hesitation, and said decisively: "I don't want it, my plan has already begun to be implemented." β
Duan Yehan grabbed her wrist all of a sudden, and angry flames appeared in his eyes, eager to drag her home now, "What are you going to do, do you want to hurt yourself all the time!"
"Brother, believe me, I will be able to help you avenge you soon. Duan Meixi said as she slowly pulled out her wrist.
Duan Yehan looked at the gauze on Duan Meixi's head, and said lightly: "I said it, I won't let your temperament anymore." I will pick you up tomorrow and discharge you from the hospital, and you will not be allowed to contact the Xu family again in the future. β
"What if I don't want to?" Duan Meixi asked rhetorically.
Duan Yehan took a step forward, grabbed Duan Meixi's wrist tightly, and said fiercely: "You tryβ’β’β’β’β’β’ you dare to do stupid things againβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
"Let go of her. Xu Duhang's voice came into Duan Yehan's ears. He turned around and saw Xu Duhang and Lan Xue standing behind him with a fruit basket.
Xu Duhang smiled and walked towards Duan Yehan, his hands seemed to be gently covering the back of Duan Yehan's hand, but in fact, he forcibly broke Duan Yehan's hand holding Duan Meixi's wrist, "Although we have just arrived, I don't know what happened between you, but if you use a little more force, this young lady's hand will be broken." After speaking, Xu Duhang shook off Duan Yehan's hand fiercely, he smiled and patted Duan Meixi's head gently, looked back at Duan Yehan and said, "Apologize to her." β
Duan Yehan ignored Xu Duhang's words, he looked at Duan Meixi's eyes, Duan Meixi didn't dare to look at him and immediately lowered his head. Duan Yehan exhaled lightly and said lightly: "Have a good rest, brother will pick you up tomorrow." β
"Brother, I β’β’β’β’β’β’ I have my own real home now. β
"Don't you want Mom and Dad, come home with me tomorrow, there is no room for negotiation. β
"Then drag me back!"
"Since you are so disobedientβ’β’β’β’β’β’ I will send someone to drag you back tomorrow. Duan Yehan left without looking back, and when he passed by Lan Xue, he lowered his head, he didn't want Lan Xue to see the expression on his face.
"Hey, do you want to leave after venting to your sister? Duan β’β’β’β’β’β’ Mr. Duan Yehan, right, we still know each other. I don't think I'm so ungraceful. β
Duan Yehan stopped, turned around and asked Xu Duhang: "Excuse me, how to be considered personable?"
"If your sister doesn't like something, you shouldn't force her. Xu Duhang looked at Duan Meixi with a smile.
Duan Yehan also looked at Duan Meixi at the same time, but in his eyes, he couldn't see anything except the gauze on his sister's head, and he gradually turned his gaze to Xu Duhang, "Then what? Let my sister continue to stay in that house for three days and go to the hospital twice?"
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll protect her. β
"If you really could, my sister wouldn't have to be here. β
The words in Xu Duhang's mouth suddenly choked, yes, it is true that he has not done enough. If it's really a competent cousin, I won't visit the hospital.
"I won't delay your visit. Duan Yehan took his eyes off Xu Duhang and quickened his paceβ’β’β’β’β’β’
Duan Yehan left the hospital and returned to the car, Zhou Lin asked him why it took so long, he just said that he received a call from the customer temporarily, so he chatted for a while, so there was a little delay.
"Mom, I'll send you home first, I have some temporary work that I want to handle back to the hotel. β
"Work is work, don't get tired. Zhou Lin said with concern.
"Got it, Mom. Although Duan Yehan smiled and nodded, his eyes were full of coldness in the next second.
After sending Zhou Lin home, Duan Yehan rushed back to the hotel and went straight to Duan Mutian's office.
Pushing open the door, Duan Yehan no longer waited for Duan Mutian to finish the work at hand and talk, but walked directly to him and said, "Dad." β
Duan Mutian was a little surprised when he saw Duan Yehan, "Son, isn't it a weekend today?, why don't you stay at home with your mother." β
"Dad, Xiaoxi's matter, why don't you stop it?"
Duan Mutian was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly smiled: "Why should I stop it? Don't you think our Xiaoxi is very courageous? I support her." Then again, she wanted to do something for her brother, and there was nothing she shouldn't do. β
Duan Yehan looked at Duan Mutian and smiled relievedly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "But Dad, do you know what Xiaoxi wants to do for me." β
"I don't need to know. Ever since Xiaoxi told me that it might be a little crazy that she wants to do something for her brother, I just need to support it. I promised, you all have your own ideas, and we can't stop them. β
"Dad, Xiaoxi is injured and is now in the hospital. β
The smile on Duan Mutian's face froze suddenly, but after a few seconds, he said lightly: "My Duan Mutian's daughter, if she complains to her brother because she is a little injured, it can only prove that she is not my own." There was no trace of surprise or worry in Duan Mutian's tone.
"Dad!"
"Whether it's safe or injured, it's all her own choice. I am a person who never interferes with children's choices. β
Duan Yehan looked at Duan Mutian and nodded slightly, "Dad, can I take your 'non-interference' as a promise?"
"Yes. β
Duan Yehan's eyes overflowed with an unfathomable thin light, "In this case, you can't be partial to my son." In the future, I will only do what I want to do. Including, how do I want to treat my sisterβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
Duan Yehan returned to his office and immediately called Shan Ru to ask her to come out for dinner.
"I'm sorry that Aunt Shan has just returned to China and asked you out. Duan Yehan raised his red wine glass as he spoke, "Auntie, I respect you." β
Shan Ru smiled and clinked glasses with Duan Yehan, "It's okay, even if I want to go home, I have to fill my stomach." I'm worried that no one will invite me to dinner, so you just happened to have a treat. β
"Auntie, our food festival will open in a few days, and we have already announced a promotional video before, and I want to announce another one after this. Although the previous promotional video was gorgeous and exquisite, there was no plot, so I planned to make another promotional film that focused on the plot. The scene is no longer a magic paradise, but a single hotel and our Mullin Hotel. β
"That's a good idea, and I like it. However, you deliberately let me eat more than just tell Auntie about your new ideas. β
"That's right, I hope this promo can be done by an influential director. β
"Xu Hai?" Shan Ru quickly guessed Duan Yehan's thoughts.
"Hmm. I know that my aunt and director Xu Hai are friends, so I want to ask my aunt for help. β
"It's easy. However, even without my help, he would have agreed. Because your sponsorship has greatly saved the cost of "Deep Love", therefore, he will definitely shoot for us. So, I'll give him a call in a moment, as long as I know his schedule. β
"Thank you, Auntie. Duan Yehan smiled.
"You're welcome, now I'm not your elder but a partner. And I also believe that having Xu Hai shoot a short film for us will make our food festival more influential. It's a good thing to raise profits. β
After dinner, Duan Yehan sent Shan Ru to the door of the hotel, watched Shan Ru get into the car, he smiled and waved to Shan Ru, "Auntie, goodbye." β
Shan Ru smiled and nodded, and left in the car. Duan Yehan watched the car until it disappeared, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number "Zhang Dongβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
Duan Yehan sat on the sofa in the office, fiddling with the keychain that Duan Meixi gave him. He didn't turn on the lights, and the office was pitch black, except for the sound of keychains hitting keysβ’β’β’β’β’β’
The crisp sound of switching and a strong ray of light made Duan Yehan feel the pain in his eyes as if the cold sea water had invaded his body. He put down the keychain in his hand, got up to meet the man who turned on the light, looked at him in a black suit, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for rushing back." β
"I said I would come back as long as you looked for me. There was a hint of childishness in his calm voice.
"Auntie's funeral went well. β
"Hmm. Thanks to you, I have the money to give my mom a beautiful funeral. β
"I need your help. β
"It is incumbent upon us. With that, he sat down on the couch by himself.
Duan Yehan handed him a cup of tea, "Thank you." β
He took the tea and said with a smile, "Don't thank you, although I am only a nominal secretary, it is my job to help the boss." Go ahead. β
Duan Yehan took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to him, "I want you to check some things for me." Li Quan, this person died in a fireworks accident of the crew many years ago, he has a daughter and a son, I want you to help me investigate the current situation of these two children. Also, why did Xu Hai suddenly quit the film industry to start a company many years ago, and why is he coming back to make movies now. β
He took the file bag and threw it up and down in his hand like a toy, "Got it." β
Duan Yehan also sat next to him with a cup of tea, "If you're not in a hurry to go back, let's have a drink together." β
"I can't afford to drink fine wine. β
"Stinky boy, I give you so much salary every month, except for my aunt's medical expenses, which is enough for you to drink high-end wine. β
He put down the tea and put his hands on his cheeks, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "The rest of the money is not for drinking, it is for saving to marry a wife." β
When it was time to eat supper, the barbecue stall was the most lively place on the street, Duan Yehan and Zhang Dong found a small table and sat down, ordered barbecue and beer, and looked at the people around who were eating barbecue and drinking beer and chatting freely, Duan Yehan's heart also felt much more relaxed.
Zhang Dong's arm was on the table, and he looked at Duan Yehan with one hand on his cheek and quipped: "Hiring me as a secretary is really a little wronged by you." β
Duan Yehan glanced at him and asked, "Why?"
"Because, I think it would be more face-saving to have a beautiful female secretary. Moreover, I am only in name, only taking money, not working. β
Duan Yehan smiled lightly, picked up a bottle of beer, took a sip and said, "You are wrong. First, male secretaries are cool. Second, although you don't work, you will die for me. Because now you have the right to work for me. β
Zhang Dong thought about it, picked up a bottle of beer and said, "Well, this is a good reason." β
Duan Yehan held up his own and said, "So, I'm not wronged. β
Zhang Dong raised his beer glass and said to Duan Yehan: "I respect you for this cup." Respect my boss, respect my brother, and even more respect my benefactor. β
Duan Yehan smiled and clinked glasses with Zhang Dong, "It's really numbβ’β’β’β’β’β’ I'm going to see my sister in the hospital, come with me." Don't ask me what's wrong with Meixi, I'll tell you on the way. β
Duan Yehan walked to the door of Duan Meixi's ward with supplements and fruits, and began to hesitate again, Zhang Dong didn't speak, directly knocked on the door for him, and then pushed it open.
Duan Meixi was sitting on the bed reading comics, and when she saw Duan Yehan and Zhang Dong coming in together, she was really a little frightened, "Zhang Dong!
Duan Yehan put down the fruit in his hand and said to Duan Meixi, "Xiaoxi, I bought your favorite fruit." β
"Fruit Cher has already bought a lot for me. β
Duan Yehan put the things on the bedside table, "Then let's put them first." β
Duan Meixi's gaze kept following Duan Yehan, "Brother, just say it directly, but you don't need to take me home or something like that." β
Duan Yehan looked at Duan Meixi, touched the gauze on her head and said, "I won't force you to go home." β
"Really!" she was very happy to hear Duan Yehan say this.
Duan Yehan nodded, "Really." β
"Haha, brother, you finally figured it out. β
"You're going to have to do another thing in exchange, though. β
"Okay, what's the matter?" Duan Meixi's tone was like that of a child who was locked up at home, overjoyed that she could finally go out and play.
Duan Yehan lowered his head and looked at the scars on her fingers, he slowly raised his head, and a touch of excessive calmness appeared on his face, "Tomorrow, I want you to tell him in front of Xu Duhang that you are not the child adopted by Xu Hai in the name of Xu Yang." β
