Chapter 37: A Better Life
If a woman believes that men are gentle, she must be very wrong. The vast majority of men, driven by **, can be infinitely close to the beast. Whether this ** is good, bad, or impossible to judge.
When a man wants to get a woman, he will become smarter than ever, alert, and good at sweet talk.
Therefore, at this moment, Qiao Sijie exudes not the usual gentleness and thoughtfulness, but a kind of possessiveness.
He always wanted to get closer to her slowly, to give her enough security to stand by her side steadfastly when she needed herself. He has always thought that he only needs these things, and he will not ask for anything else.
However, after this time of wandering on the edge of life and death, Qiao Sijie suddenly discovered that he was actually also a very greedy person, wanting to live with the person he liked, every minute and every second. Because I don't know what the future will look like, maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe there won't be tomorrow at all.
The only thing that can be grasped is the present.
knew that Ran Xixi was speechless now, so Qiao Sijie didn't force her: "Don't talk first, and don't rush to promise me or refuse me." I want to live with you without much other purpose, just because I want to take care of you justifiably without you having to bear any criticism and humiliation. ”
Listening to his inner confession, Ran Xixi wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
She knew that Qiao Sijie proposed to her not because he was in a hurry to use his married status to get the inheritance that Qiao Rin left him. If he really wanted to do that, he would have been able to find a suitable marriage partner a long time ago, and he wouldn't have run to wait for her to nod.
This man came to her aid when she was at her most desperate. It stands to reason that even if she marries him, she shouldn't have any hesitation.
But why was she reluctant......
"Don't worry, I won't be ...... to you We can sleep in separate rooms, I won't force you to do anything......"
Qiao Sijie subconsciously thought that Ran Xixi was hesitant because of this matter, so he immediately added a sentence, trying to dispel her doubts and let her not worry about having an intimate relationship with her without her psychological preparation.
She was a little embarrassed, not because of it. According to what Ran Xixi knows, male homosexuality is really not strong for the opposite sex in terms of sex, commonly known as "not straight". She would not be confident enough to think that her feminine charm was strong enough to make Qiao Sijie like women instead.
Fortunately, Ran Xixi is speechless now, and she is a little grateful for her temporary "aphasia", so she doesn't have to say anything.
"The nurse wouldn't let me get out of bed, I sneaked out. I'll come back to see you tomorrow, I'm going to try to get out of the hospital early, it's fine. ”
Although his head is still a little groggy, Qiao Sijie is not in the mood to be hospitalized at all, the mess of the Qiao family is waiting for him to clean up, Qiao Rin is still breathing, he may die at any time, and the family will definitely be in chaos at that time.
At this time, if he doesn't come forward, something is bound to happen.
Hearing that Qiao Sijie was about to be discharged from the hospital in a hurry, Ran Xixi subconsciously shook her head, although she didn't know the specific extent of his injuries, but the moment the two cars collided, she could see clearly and knew how terrible the situation was at that time.
"I'm fine. ”
Qiao Sijie gave her a soothing smile and hurried out of the room.
As soon as he went out, he saw that Zhan Xingchuan was in a wheelchair, standing in the corridor outside, and there were two tall men standing beside him.
Qiao Sijie didn't expect that he would be here.
For a moment, the two people met each other's gaze, and they both seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
In the end, it was Qiao Sijie who took the lead in speaking: "Thank you." ”
After a pause, he added: "Maybe I shouldn't say such things now, but I still want to say that no matter what you did before, what every woman wants most is a stable life and a gentle lover." There are some things, since you can't give them, it's better to let go generously, follow you, she will never be able to experience what it means to be 'quiet and good', because you have no way to give her 'stability in the present world'. ”
Qiao Sijie's words seemed to touch Zhan Xingchuan, making his calm expression change slightly.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have bad intentions, Yin Yiming on the side stepped forward and was about to speak, but Zhan Xingchuan took the first step to stop him, signaling that he was fine.
"I'll have a few words with Mr. Qiao alone, you guys go to dinner first. ”
So busy, the crowd didn't even have time to drink, let alone eat.
After listening to Zhan Xingchuan's words, Yin Yiming took people away.
When they were all gone, Zhan Xingchuan asked bluntly, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Sijie was not ambiguous, and he didn't feel that he couldn't tell the truth, so he simply answered this question directly: "I proposed to her just now." That's what it means. ”
Although he was mentally prepared, as soon as he heard his words, Zhan Xingchuan's body couldn't help but tremble lightly twice.
Before he could speak, Qiao Sijie had already spoken again: "Zhan Xingchuan, my actions today really make me admire, and you have also paid a great price. However, if Xi Xi continues to disconnect with you, the two of you will have to stay in touch for one reason or another, which will do her future more harm than good. Don't forget, you're in a terrible situation, and you can count as taking care of yourself. ”
He was vaguely reminding Zhan Xingchuan not to ignore Yu Youwei and her daughter. The existence of these two people is enough to occupy the gossip page and the financial page for several months, and he doesn't want to be able to get rid of the relationship every time.
Sure enough, Zhan Xingchuan understood Qiao Sijie's words, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.
"In many ways, I am indeed inferior to you. However, I really don't necessarily lose to you in my heart for her. I didn't take advantage of her, I didn't hurt her, and that's enough. I'm saying this because I'm thankful that you took the risk to get her back today, but thanks to thanks, I'm not going to back down. ”
After saying what he wanted to say, Qiao Sijie walked away.
He is not in a very good condition at the moment, and it is inevitable that he will be a little top-heavy after slipping out of the ward for so long.
"What did she say?"
Zhan Xingchuan's voice was also a little trembling, and it seemed that he was very nervous now.
"Can she speak now? I'm not in a hurry, I'm more patient than you. ”
With a sneer, Qiao Sijie asked rhetorically, and then hurriedly walked towards the elevator.
If Zhan Xingchuan could look more closely, he would find that Qiao Sijie's appearance actually looked a little embarrassed. Because, even if he can pretend to be calm in front of his rival, he can't deceive his heart, he knows better than anyone that the reason why Ran Xixi didn't immediately reject his marriage proposal was only because she was too weak now, not because she planned to marry Qiao Sijie happily.
Even if it was self-paralysis, at least, she didn't let his hopes be dashed all at once.
Isn't it?
Back in his hospital room, Qiao Sijie pretended that nothing had happened, called his mother, and continued to lie, saying that there was a little problem in his company temporarily, and he could only deal with it first.
"What is a small problem that deserves to be solved by plane as a boss of yours?"
It is clear that Mrs. Joe is not that easy to deceive.
Qiao Sijie had no choice but to continue to lie: "It's really not a big problem, it's just that Zach is in Europe and can't come back." I'll take care of it, and when I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll go back to Zhonghai right away......"
"Yan Ne is too much, he is now hanging out with those old guys every day, if I didn't know your father'......s body, I would suspect that they were actually wishing he was hurrying up!
On the other side of the phone, Mrs. Qiao's low sobs were heard.
Qiao Sijie pinched his eyebrows hard and didn't say a word.
He had seen the history of Kowloon's succession, and he disdained it at the time, but at the moment he was terrified.
Although the current situation of the Qiao family is not so terrifying, it is not much better, Qiao Sijie knows that Qiao Yanne's business has encountered a shortage of capital chains, and he is determined to obtain Qiao Rin's inheritance.
If he really treats him as his own brother, and the two of them sit down and talk openly and honestly, Qiao Sijie feels that he is not an unreasonable person, and he will not be able to fight with his own brother because of that money.
But Qiao Yanne didn't do that.
Because, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, he just wanted to use his strength to get the identity of the sole heir of the Qiao family. In this process, if anyone wants to stop him, he will block and kill, and the Buddha will block **.
Putting down the phone, Qiao Sijie closed his eyes in pain.
Being hurt and beware of being so hurt and beware of a loved one you care about turned out to be such a painful thing. At this moment, he really experienced the feeling of Ran Xixi.
There are some things that you can't fully understand until you empathize.
Assistant William hurried to the hospital after getting the news.
As soon as he saw Qiao Sijie injured, William's face turned white with fright, he didn't expect that the boss who went shopping with Wen Yitong would actually "accompany" him into the hospital more than ten hours later, and he was also injured!
"Don't tell my mom, I lied to her about the company, I'm going back to the United States. Be careful, don't be revealing. ”
As soon as they met, Qiao Sijie hurriedly admonished.
William looked at the medical record card on the bedside and asked worriedly, "Mr. Qiao, the meeting that was originally scheduled for the morning after tomorrow ......"
Qiao Sijie knew what he was going to ask himself, and he immediately replied without thinking: "The meeting doesn't have to be canceled, it's business as usual." When the time comes, just say that I rushed back to Zhonghai directly, and no one will really check anyway. It was true that I was too indecisive before, but now I have figured it out, I want Qiao's, I need to have the capital to stand in front of the person I love and tell her that I can give her a better life. ”
