Chapter 69: Seeds of Malevolence
Zixi slept very deeply this night, Aunt Wu came to see dozens of times, and for the whole day, she was in a coma and never woke up once.
Aunt Wu was worried, but thinking of Zhan Tingyu's cold and hard tone, she didn't dare to call without authorization.
In the afternoon, Zixi was groggy and had a fever, and Aunt Wu took out an ice pack and wrapped it in a towel and applied it to her forehead to cool down.
It wasn't until the evening that the high fever gradually subsided, and Zixi slowly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Aunt Wu's anxious and concerned face.
"Miss Gu, are you awake?" Seeing that she finally woke up, Aunt Wu's eyes were wet for a moment.
The main reason is that the injuries on Zixi's body are too shocking, as if they have been tortured, and the bruises and purples are all over the body. Especially on the lower body, the scars are even more terrifying......
In addition, she fell asleep unconscious for a whole day, and Aunt Wu was also worried all day, always looking forward to her waking up.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zixi slept until she was numb, her mouth seemed to be glued with duct tape, and it took a lot of effort to open it.
My mouth is dry, and I still feel dizzy in front of me.
"I'll pour you a glass of water. Aunt Wu got up and hurriedly poured a glass of water.
She reached out and lifted her hand and brought the glass to her lips.
The warm water poured into his mouth and swallowed down his dry throat, and Zixi felt that he had been given a new life.
She drank three glasses of water in a row, and the dryness between her lips finally improved.
Aunt Wu helped her sit up and leaned softly on the sofa. Her thoughts had also returned, remembering everything that had happened last night, and she still had a burst of heart palpitations when she thought of Zhan Tingyu's angry eyes, like a mad beast tormenting her.
That man, it's terrible!
"Miss Gu......" Aunt Wu couldn't help but be concerned when she saw her sitting there, "How are you feeling now?"
Zi Xi looked down and saw the clean pajamas on his body, which hurt very much, but it was very refreshing, "Aunt Wu, are you the ones you helped me change?"
Aunt Wu nodded, "Yes, as soon as I came in the morning, I saw ......"
She couldn't describe that scene, and she also saw the fear in Zixi's eyes, and she didn't want to bring up the old things again and affect her mood, so she swallowed back the unfinished words. Instead, he said, "You've slept all day, are you hungry?" There is still warm porridge in the pot, do you want to drink some?"
"Hmm. Zi Xi nodded slightly, she was now in pain to death, her bones seemed to have been crushed by someone with an axe, and when she nodded, she would feel that she was involved in the wounds all over her body, "Thank you, Aunt Wu." ”
"You're welcome," Aunt Wu got up with a smile, "Then I'll go serve you porridge." ”
Zixi was very hungry, slept all day, did not eat a drop of water, and was also very weak.
But she really didn't have much appetite, so she only ate half a bowl and let Aunt Wu take it.
Outside the window, the night was getting darker, and the pendulum clock on the wall pointed to seven o'clock, and I hope he wouldn't come back tonight......
After drinking half a bowl of porridge, her strength recovered a little, and Aunt Wu helped her upstairs to rest.
She thought that if she slept too long during the day, she would lose sleep at night, but in less than half an hour, she fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was the second day, and the sun outside the window was shining in, and it was already bright.
The pain in Zixi's body is still so intense, and if she moves casually, her bones seem to be falling apart.
She rolled over and lay on the bed for a while before getting up and getting out of bed.
Downstairs, Aunt Wu was wiping the table with a rag, and when she came, Duoduo came over from the side and arrived at her feet.
"Miss Gu. Aunt Wu came over to help her, "Are you feeling better?"
"Hmm. Much better. Zi Xi said, glancing towards the door.
Aunt Wu almost immediately understood and said, "Mr. Zhan didn't come back. ”
The son is a little more peaceful.
Aunt Wu helped her to eat in the restaurant, Zixi was indeed hungry, and after drinking two bowls of porridge, her strength recovered a little.
Aunt Wu put her mobile phone on the corner of the table, "This is what I found under the sofa when I cleaned up the sofa in the morning, is it yours?"
"Thank you. Zixi took the phone, she was in a mess yesterday, and she didn't think to find the phone when she woke up.
The mobile phone was automatically turned off when it was out of power, and it was a pity to eat before charging it.
As soon as the phone is turned on, multiple calls and text messages pop up inside.
There were Chen Lu calling, Shen Yao calling, and Shen Xiao calling.
Chen Lu: "Zixi, why didn't you come to work today? I've already asked for your leave, don't panic. ”
Shen Yao: "It's a pity, why did you turn off the phone?" "Pity, my brother said you rejected him, what's going on?" "Pity, you won't encounter anything, right? The phone still can't get through, you must not think about it." "It's a pity, turn it on quickly, I will call the police if I can't find you again." ”
Shen Xiao: "Zixi, do you have any troubles?"
After reading the text messages, Zixi deleted all of them, and her mood was a lot heavier. Because she remembered the events of that night again, and remembered Zhan Tingyu's demonic angry face.
Could he still be angry?
It doesn't matter if he is angry, but he must not affect the Gu family because of this.
When Zixi thought of her grandfather, she panicked and dialed the landline number at home with her mobile phone.
"Toot toot-" The phone rang many times before it was answered, and the girl's soft voice came from the earpiece, "Hey, hello." ”
Zi Xi heard that it was Gu Ruo's voice.
"......" Zixi didn't speak for a while.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
Zixi took a breath, she was not very used to the arrival of Gu Anran and Gu Ruo, "Is Grandpa here?"
"Sister?" Gu Ruo's tone changed to joy, "Is that you, sister?"
Zixi: "It's me." I'm looking for Grandpa, is he there?"
"Oh. Grandpa was not there, so he went to the company with his father early in the morning and didn't come back until late. ”
Zi Xi faintly felt that something was wrong, "Haven't the company's affairs been handed over yet?"
It stands to reason that the Gu family's company is not too big, and Gu Anran has been back for a week, so it should be handed over......
"No, grandpa said it's been just a few days. Gu Ruo said, changing the topic, "Sister, didn't you go to the company yesterday?"
"How do you know?" Zi Xi thought of something, "You're going to my company again?"
Gu Ruowei promised, "Yes...... yes, I miss my sister, so ...... Sister, where are you now, can I come to you?"
"No need. For Gu Ruo's enthusiasm, Zixi couldn't bear to blow, but he didn't want to be too hot with her, "I still have something to do, hang up first." I'll call again when grandpa comes back in the evening. ”
"Oh......" Gu Ruo's voice fell, and Zi Xi had already hung up the phone.
Zhan Tingyu didn't go back to Blue Bay Villa for a day.
Zi Xi's heart became more and more uneasy, and when night fell, he called the Gu family again.
It was still Gu Ruo, "Sister, grandpa and dad are talking about things in the study." ”
Zixi frowned, "Then transfer the phone to the study, I have something to tell grandpa." ”
"Oh...... Alright then, wait a minute. Gu Ruo said and hung up the phone.
The phone was successfully transferred to Grandpa's study, and when he heard Gu Song's voice in the receiver, Zixi's heart settled down slightly, "Grandpa, are you okay at home?"
"It's a pity, it's good at home, cough ......"
"Grandpa, are you coughing again?" Zixi was a little nervous.
The old man is old, his body is not as good as a year, once he is sick, he will cough, and the cough is not easy to get better, one winter coughed for two months, and his lungs were swollen.
The doctor said that the respiratory tract of the elderly is not very good, and it is necessary to pay attention to fresh air, once coughing, it is easy to get sick.
This is the season of autumn and winter, and it is easy to get sick and catch a cold.
In the past, Zi Xi would always brew some honey chrysanthemum tea for him to drink at home, and since he entered the door of the Blue Bay Villa, he has rarely been able to fulfill this filial piety.
Zi Xi couldn't help sighing.
Gu Song smiled: "I'm fine, girl." As for you, take care of yourself. ”
"Hmm. I know, Grandpa. "As long as it's okay at home......
A few simple greetings cut off the call.
Gu Anran, who was sitting opposite Gu Song, half of his figure was not in the dark, "Dad, are you hiding anything from me with Zixi?"
Gu Song coughed lightly twice and glanced at him, "No." ”
Pick up the file and keep reading.
Gu Anran stared at him for a while, and chuckled, "Zi Xi is the lover of the four young men of the Zhan family?"
Gu Song's face froze, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Anran, looking displeased, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Anran smiled, "Am I talking nonsense? You have always said before that Zixi lives in the school, but I have been to her school to see it and asked the teacher, but Zixi does not live in the school at all." ”
"......" Gu Song narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, but the atmosphere in the study dropped significantly.
The old man was visibly unhappy.
But Gu Anran didn't seem to notice it, and continued to say, "I know that she works in a jewelry company, and I asked someone to follow her, and I know that she lives in the Blue Bay area. I also saw her get out of Zhan Tingyu's car. ”
At this point, Gu Song's expression had completely cooled down.
"An Ran, how can you say that it is also your daughter, I advise you not to treat her too badly!"
"How could it be?" Gu Anran smiled brightly, "She has such a talisman as Zhan Tingyu, it's too late for me to love her, how can I treat her badly?"
Gu Song's breathing fluctuated, and finally sighed, "She sacrificed herself for the Gu family and for me." As for Zhan Tingyu, why did he do this, you should know better than me!"
Gu Anran smiled slightly, took the documents on the table, and easily pulled the topic away: "Let's continue to read the documents." ”
This topic, even if it is so closed.
For Gu Song, the less people know about Zi Xi and Zhan Tingyu, the better.
But he didn't know that the vicious seeds in Gu Anran's heart began to sprout from this moment......
Zhan Tingyu did not appear for dozens of days, and in the past ten days, Zixi's life has been extremely dull.
But she always felt that Zhan Tingyu's anger had not subsided, and this matter would not be over.
The more he didn't show up, the calmer her life became, and the more uneasy she became.
Sure enough, one day half a month later, something happened!
