Xu Yuexi looked at Qiao Yingying, who was dodging and looking uneasy in front of her, and she was so angry that her chest hurt.

"I tell you not to think that a photo of holding hands can change anything, Yuanzhou's girlfriend is still me, you don't bother him, otherwise I want you to look good!" she crossed her waist and said viciously.

"I know, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong. I didn't expect to run into her, Qiao Yingying was flustered and at a loss, and hurriedly defended, her face even paler.

"Then what are you doing here?" Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows and stared at her vigilantly.

Qiao Yingying's lips moved a few times before she spoke with difficulty: "My mother is sick and needs money urgently, I... I want to borrow from Yuanzhou... Borrow money. ”

"Borrow money?" Xu Yuexi frowned, but her expression was a little relieved, she looked Qiao Yingying up and down, and found that she was thin and haggard, obviously really in trouble, and couldn't help but lose some anger.

"How much are you going to borrow?" she said impatiently, but her face softened.

Qiao Yingying tightened her hands and said astringently: "Eight... 800,000"

"What?!" Xu Yuexi's face immediately changed and she almost jumped up, "You should be the one who opened the bank in Yuanzhou, can you repay it by borrowing so much?"

"I know it's not a small number, but my mom needs surgery right away, and I can't afford to scrape together the money in a short period of time. But we have a house, and I can give it to you, and I won't lose you. Qiao Yingying's eyes were slightly red, and she endured the embarrassment and shame in her heart, and looked at Xu Yuexi for help.

Her dark eyes were misty with tears, and her palm-sized face became more and more beautiful, and even Xu Yuexi couldn't help but feel soft and pitying.

No, Yuan Zhou must not be allowed to see her like this. She thought to herself, her eyes rolling to think of something, and the corners of her mouth showed a wicked smile.

"I can lend you the money, and you don't have to pay it back, but I'll trouble you to do something for me. ”

*************

In the CEFC office, He Feng looked at Guan Mufeng with a calm face in front of him, and took deep breaths to hold back and not jump up to crusade against him.

It took him a long time before he straightened his breath and said with a smile: "Yo, why don't you go out for a while and come back so early?" I still want to stay in this office for a few more days!"

Guan Mufeng casually played with the silver horse ornaments on the table, bent his lips and said, "I just stopped by to take a look, and I don't plan to come back to work, so you can stay at ease." ”

He Feng choked suddenly, his breath was blocked in his chest, and he stared at him with extreme dissatisfaction. Originally, he was worried that he would be depressed and make people come back without ghosts, but now that he is fine, how can he be more dazzling when he has nothing to do?

As soon as he snatched the ornament from his hand and put it in his hand, he asked angrily: "Where have you been during this time?" There is no news at all, everyone is very worried, Mi Xue, we dare not mention it. ”

"Took care of some personal matters, nothing special. Guan Mufeng withdrew his hand and said lightly, no other emotions could be seen on his calm face.

"I'm engaged. He Feng said suddenly.

Guan Mufeng was a little surprised, his eyes swept over the ring between his fingers, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Congratulations." ”

There was nothing unusual in his expression and tone, He Feng somehow felt a little sad, and asked in a low voice: "Really... Don't care?"

Guan Mufeng was slightly stunned, the curvature of the corners of his mouth lightened a little, and Yingting's eyebrows crossed a touch of unknown emotion.

"Since you don't have a chance, you don't have to force it. He said.

The atmosphere fell silent, and He Feng sighed slightly in his heart, wanting to say something but couldn't think of what to say. At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Wu Xiaomei calling.

He quickly connected, pressed the speakerphone button, and smiled at the phone: "Xiaomei, Lao Guan is back, say hello!"

Wu Xiaomei over there seemed to be a little surprised, and only spoke after a while.

"Mr. Guan, hello. ”

"Hello. Guan Mufeng also replied.

He Feng looked at the two of them one restrained and the other polite, and was immediately unhappy, and was about to let them order at will, when he heard Wu Xiaomei call his name: "He Feng, I went to the hospital today, Yingying's mother has it... I had brain cancer. ”

This sudden news made him stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but look up at Guan Mufeng, but saw that he had lowered his eyes and had no emotion on his face. It's just that out of his sight, Guan Mufeng's hand resting on his knee shook suddenly.

"So what's going on now?" Ying Ying, how is she?" he asked.

"Auntie's condition is critical, she needs to be operated on as soon as possible, Yingying her, she is not in the hospital. Wu Xiaomei said, her voice suddenly choked, "He Feng, Ying Ying must be frightened when this kind of thing happens suddenly, her mobile phone has not been able to get through, I can't contact her, can you help me find her? I'm afraid that something will happen to her..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll look for it right away, it's okay. He Feng comforted him repeatedly, and when Wu Xiaomei's mood stabilized, she hung up the phone and began to flip through all the people who could help on her mobile phone.

"I'll do it. Guan Mufeng suddenly spoke, got up and walked around the desk, walked to his side, moved the mouse and keyboard to operate on the computer.

He Feng looked at the map that appeared on the screen, his eyes lit up, his lips moved and he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed secretly with a complicated expression.

Looking at the shining red dots on the map, the worry in Guan Mufeng's eyes receded, and when he saw the place where it was, he was dyed with a layer of gloom, and curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.

"She's already got someone to help, so we don't have to worry about it. He straightened up and said lightly.

He Feng looked at the screen carefully, and also thought of a person, and suddenly a trace of indescribable feeling surged in his heart. It turned out that in her heart, only that person was reliable and would help her, and they were just wishful thinking.

Maybe he's really wrong.

"In that case, let's leave this matter alone. He stood up and patted Guan Mufeng's shoulder, changing his relaxed tone, "I will pick you up at night, and you can eat wherever you want." ”

Guan Mufeng smiled faintly, and the emotions tumbling in his chest were about to get out of control.

"Go to the bar. He said. Now only alcohol can anesthetize his emotions, close all his feelings, and get through the day.

**************

When Qiao Yingying returned to the hospital with Xu Yuexi's prepaid 200,000 yuan, Wu Xiaomei hadn't left yet. Seeing her anxious and worried gaze, she almost couldn't help but pounce on her and hug her and cry, only to clench her fists tightly and carve her nails into the flesh before she could control herself.

"Sister Xiaomei, why are you here?" she said as plainly as she could, walked into the ward and brought her a chair, and said politely and distantly.

"Yingying, where have you been? Why didn't you tell us when such a big thing happened?" Seeing Qiao Yingying, who had lost a lot of weight in front of her, Wu Xiaomei's heart was tangled, where could she sit down, walked to her side and asked hurriedly.

"It's none of your business, and I don't want to trouble you. Qiao Yingying said, tucking the corner of the quilt for Li Suxian, who was asleep after the treatment.

"But can you handle it alone? What about the school, what about the money?" Wu Xiaomei frowned and worried.

"I've taken a leave of absence from school, the money problem has been solved, and I can take care of my mother by myself. Qiao Yingying said lightly, as if there was just a small hurdle in front of her, and she passed it with a jump.

"You can take care of Auntie, but who will take care of you?" Wu Xiaomei said.

"Yuanzhou will help me. Qiao Yingying was silent and said softly.

"Really?" Wu Xiaomei smiled, her expression slightly mocking, "How can he help you? Does he not ask you to be so tired that you can't even walk, or does he want you to leave the hospital to borrow money from him in such an emergency? You broke up with Mr. Guan for him, but does he have the same affection for you?"

Qiao Yingying's body stiffened, and she was silent and unable to answer.

Wu Xiaomei slowed down her tone, and then said: "Yingying, do you remember that once my mother broke her leg while riding a bicycle, my dad couldn't come back from a business trip, and I couldn't come back when I was studying in college outside, so you and your aunt took care of it for us." So this time, let me take care of you. ”

Qiao Yingying's heart was sore and painful, warm and sad. Her Xiaomei sister is so good, but she has to keep pushing her away.

"Auntie is so good to us on weekdays, and we should take care of her. Sister Xiaomei, you still have a job, and I don't want to add to your burden. She turned to look at Qiao Yingying, smiled and said calmly.

Wu Xiaomei looked at her, her eyes gradually turned red, but the corners of her mouth curved, and her smile was full of joy.

"Yingying, you haven't recovered your memory, have you? You've been lying to us all along. She said firmly, the sadness and doubts that had been lingering in her heart all dissipated, and she looked at Qiao Yingying in front of her, only joy in her heart.

"What... What" Qiao Yingying looked at her stunned, not understanding why she would say this, and her heart suddenly beat a drum.

"My mom never broke her leg, and she didn't even sneeze all year round. That's all my nonsense. Wu Xiaomei said, holding Qiao Yingying's cool hand in her hand, her voice was extremely soft, "Yingying, I know that you must have a hard time to do this, I don't ask you, you will tell me yourself one day." Now let me take care of you, Auntie is so sick this time, you can't handle it alone. ”

Qiao Yingying's nose was sour, and she finally couldn't hide it anymore, the hesitation, grievance and fear in her heart all came up, and she threw herself into Wu Xiaomei's arms with a flat mouth, tears rolling down.

This night, she snuggled up to Wu Xiaomei, ate the first decent meal in the past few days, and slept well for the first time.
