Nanxi had been waiting for Lu Zaiyuan to come back, but that night, she didn't wait for him to come back.

Very late, he called.

There was a noisy voice on the phone, Nanxi heard the sound of broadcasting flight information, and she asked in surprise: "Are you at the airport?" ”

Lu Zaiyuan's voice came, it was very low, and Nanxi almost didn't hear what he was saying: "Xiaoxi, I have an urgent matter and need to go back to the UK." Because I'm in a hurry, I won't go home, I'll be back in about a week, and the company's affairs will be in your hands, you have to take care...... Wait until I get back......"

Nanxi heard his words clearly, and was surprised for two seconds before he spoke: "Leave now?" What's the urgency? ”

"I'll tell you when I get back." Lu Zaiyuan's attitude is vague and unclear.

Nanxi was full of doubts and wanted to ask a few questions, but Lu Zaiyuan had already hung up the phone. Listening to the busy sound of "beep" on the phone, Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and then dialed back, and the phone was turned off.

Is he boarding the plane? How could it be so sudden?

Nanxi sat there, staring at his phone for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly got up and went back to the room to turn on the computer.

She searched the Internet for flight information and found that there were only two flights a week from the local airport to the UK. And today, there are precisely no direct flights to the UK.

Her gaze lingered on the flight information for a long time.

She wondered, where the hell had he gone?

Looking at the time, she found that at the same time as Lu Zaiyuan's phone call just now, there was a plane bound for Hong Kong. So she thought: maybe he can't wait to fly back to the UK and want to make a connecting flight in Hong Kong.

But doesn't he have no relatives in England? Is there anything I can't tell her now, but when he comes back?

Lu Zaiyuan's sudden departure made her unprepared and confused.

That night, she had all sorts of questions in her mind. And Xiaohe slept very unsteadily, always waking up, she needed to be taken care of at all times, so noisy that she barely slept all night, and stayed up until dawn with her eyes open.

She was exhausted and was about to close her eyes and rest for a while when Xiaohe woke up.

Xiaohe opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, then sat up, and looked for his phone in a panic. Nanxi was alarmed and hurriedly handed the phone to her.

Xiaohe held his phone and ran out barefoot.

Nanxi thought that she had slept and forgot that Deng Jiaxiang had called last night, and was about to run out again, so she hurriedly jumped up and chased after her.

Nanhe ran to the entrance, stuck to the door glass and looked out, took a few steps back, sat on the shoe-changing stool at the door, held his mobile phone, looked through the transparent glass on the door, and looked at the sky outside.

Seeing her like this, the situation is the same as in the Pei family, she must stay in a place where she can see the outside, waiting for Deng Jiaxiang to appear.

Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't run out like crazy, it meant that she could stay at home.

Nanxi walked over and locked the door.

After taking care of Xiaohe's clothes and washing her face, she went into the kitchen to cook breakfast.

Her head was heavy, and her brain was a pot of pulp, but she no longer felt sleepy. While she was making breakfast, she was thinking: At this time, the curly hair should not have landed yet, right? When he returns to the UK, he should call her to report his safety, right?

She cooked the porridge, brought it to the door, and fed Nanhe half a bowl.

Then she went back to the kitchen by herself, eating the remaining half bowl of porridge, when she heard her phone ring.

She suddenly cheered up, put down the dishes and chopsticks, ran back to the room quickly, picked up the phone and looked at it, and immediately deflated.

Knowing that at this time, it was impossible for Lu Zaiyuan to call, but the moment she saw the number on her mobile phone, she was still a little disappointed.

It was her secretary, Kim Nana, who called and reminded her that she was going to participate in the annual advertising tender of the local TV station today.

This matter was originally scheduled to be gone by Lu Zaiyuan in person, but Lu Zaiyuan was far away, so Jin Nana had to inform Nanxi to go instead of him.

After Nanxi put down the phone, she looked at her sister sitting at the door.

My sister is in such a situation now, she really doesn't feel at ease to be taken care of by a nanny. Moreover, the aftermath of the photos of her and Deng Jiaxiang has not ended, and the Pei family has made such a big move, if she appears in public, she will inevitably be surrounded and questioned by the media.

She has already seen the fierce methods of those media reporters to dig up news, and the old wounds have not healed, and she does not want to add new ones. She doesn't want her image to appear on the entertainment page of the website newspaper, get involved with Deng Jiaxiang, and be criticized.

She thought for a while, picked up the phone, and called Liao Yijiang.

She said: "Director Liao, there is always an urgent matter to go abroad, and my sister's condition is not very good and she needs my care. There is a very important bidding meeting today, you go to participate on behalf of our company, how it was done in previous years, you can refer to it as appropriate. ”

Liao Yijiang is the director of the media department, so she sent this matter to him. And when it comes to work, Liao Yijiang doesn't know how many times stronger than her, so she doesn't want to hold the vice president's shelf and say something like "call me if you can't decide" or something like that.

She had worked under Liao Yijiang for several years, and she trusted Liao Yijiang's ability and character.

On the other end of the phone, Liao Yijiang was silent for two seconds, and said: "It's okay if I go, it's not convenient for you to face the media now, I'll go to Jin Nana to get the invitation letter, leave this matter to me, you can rest assured, I will report to you about the bidding meeting in the evening." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Nanxi said.

"Don't be so polite, do your job." Liao Yijiang smiled and said politely.

After arranging this important work, she called Jin Nana again and arranged the daily work, and postponed it as much as possible, and if it was really impossible to postpone it, contact her to deal with it.

She devoted herself to her work, and after making the call, she looked at the door and found that Nanhe was no longer on the stool for changing shoes.

Nanxi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran out, finding that her sister didn't know when she walked to the window. There was her easel and case on the windowsill, and she sat on a wooden bench looking at a painting she had drawn before she left home, and she was in a trance.

Her focused expression reminded Nanxi of what Zhao Xinyao said that day.

Zhao Xinyao said that Xiaohe's paintings are very artistic, and that she is willing to help introduce professional curators to Xiaohe.

At that time, Nanxi was still very puzzled, with her relationship with Zhao Xinyao, Zhao Xinyao had no reason to help her.

Now she finally understands that at that time, Zhao Xinyao must have been discovered by Deng Jiaxiang, and Deng Jiaxiang must have threatened her.

Zhao Xinyao wanted to work hard to save the passive situation, so she would show her goodwill. It's just that I don't know what happened later, and Mrs. Pei, who has always been noble and proud, made such an extreme move as kidnapping and illegal detention.

At half past eight in the morning, Dr. Zhou came.

After the routine examination, injections and medicines, Nanxi raised his doubts to Dr. Zhou: "Dr. Zhou, Xiaohe is too dependent on Deng Jiaxiang now, is this abnormal?" In the past few days when Deng Jiaxiang lost contact, she refused to eat or sleep, and her mania was uncontrollable. But after answering Deng Jiaxiang's call last night, she immediately quieted down, and she hasn't messed around anymore. What the hell is going on with her like this?"

In fact, this question was raised by Lu Zai to Nanxi a long time ago.

It's just that Deng Jiaxiang was kidnapped and detained at that time, although Nanxi felt that it would be a very troublesome thing for her sister to rely on Deng Jiaxiang psychologically, but she hadn't realized the strict nature of the problem.

Now she is also beginning to have doubts, after all, Deng Jiaxiang is not her family now, and her sister cannot count on this man for the rest of her life. If Deng Jiaxiang no longer appears in their lives one day, what will become of her sister?

Nanxi begins to worry about her sister's future.

However, her question once again made Dr. Zhou extremely unhappy.

She said: "You have discussed this matter with me several times, and your husband has raised this issue more than once. I feel that I have fulfilled my duty as a doctor, and if you doubt my professionalism now, you can change doctors for Nanhe. ”

Although every time he talks about it, it will cause Dr. Zhou to be unhappy. But this time, it was the harshest of her words.

Nanxi really didn't have the courage to change Nanhe's doctor, a new doctor, and he didn't understand Nanhe's condition at all, so he started to be familiar with it again and looked for a treatment again, which required a big risk.

Nanxi hesitated and didn't say anything more.

It was at this time that Dr. Zhou received a call and walked out.

When she came back, her face softened a lot. She said: "Xiaoxi, I know that the matter between you and Mr. Deng is a little complicated now, so what about it...... It's up to you to decide how to treat the disease, if you're going to give up treatment......"

"I never intended to give up on the treatment of Xiaohe, but I knew that it would not be an overnight achievement to cure Xiaohe's disease, so I wondered if there was a more long-term and more secure way......

Dr. Zhou lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: "Xiaoxi, in fact, I think that the more secure and long-term way is exactly the method that your husband said, which is to send Xiaohe to a nursing home, be with those with autism, and receive very professional care every day." ”

Nanxi shook his head very resolutely when he heard Doctor Zhou say this: "Doctor Zhou, listen to your words, I can understand." You said that those sanatoriums can give Xiaohe very professional care, but you didn't say that it was professional treatment. However, unlike those autistic patients who have no hope of cure, Xiaohe still has hope of getting better, doesn't she? ”

"This ......"

Dr. Zhou pondered for two seconds, and was just about to speak, when Nanxi's mobile phone rang.

Nanxi picked it up, and it was actually Deng Jiaxiang calling.

He said: "Xiaoxi, I discussed with the police guarding this morning, and they allowed my relatives to visit. I'm not very worried about Xiaohe, you bring her over and let me take a look, okay? ”

Nanxi knew very well in his heart, maybe in his heart, he thought that the person he saw was himself, not Xiaohe.

She glanced at Dr. Zhou, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I just don't know if she is willing to go with me, she doesn't listen to me very much now." ”

"Let me tell her that she'll be obedient." Deng Jiaxiang's voice was full of pride.

Nanxi felt extremely uncomfortable, but she looked at her sister, and still pressed the speakerphone and released Deng Jiaxiang's voice. She said, "Xiaohe can hear it, you can say it." ”

Deng Jiaxiang opened his mouth and shouted: "Xiaohe." ”

Nanhe was lying on the bed, and as soon as he heard this voice, he immediately sat up, his eyes sparkled, showing great joy.

"Xiaohe, Brother Jiaxiang is injured and lives in the hospital, so he can't go home to accompany you. Is it okay for you to follow your sister to the hospital to see me? ”

Nanhe listened intently to the voice coming out of the mobile phone, and when she heard Deng Jiaxiang's question, she nodded seriously.

Nanxi conveyed the meaning of this nod to Deng Jiaxiang on her behalf: "Xiaohe nodded, you can continue." ”

"Xiaohe is really good, let my sister help you get dressed, and then take you out, you take your sister's car, let your sister take you to the hospital, and you can see Brother Jiaxiang, okay?"

Nanhe nodded again.

"She understood." Nanxi said again.

Deng Jiaxiang laughed happily: "I know she must be obedient, I am waiting for her in the hospital." ”

After putting down the phone, Nan Xi sighed and smiled bitterly at Dr. Zhou: "After arguing with you for a long time, I still have to take Xiaohe to see Deng Jiaxiang...... If doing so can make her feel better, then what can I be counted if I am wronged? ”

Doctor Zhou patted Nanxi's shoulder: "It's not easy for you, I know, you're a good sister." ”

Nanxi dressed Nanhe in clothes and shoes for going out, led her out of the house, got into the car, and drove to the hospital where Deng Jiaxiang was.

During the whole process, Nanhe was obedient and did not resist.

When he arrived at the hospital and parked the car, Nanxi led Nanhe upstairs and came to the door of Deng Jiaxiang's ward.

Without waiting for Nanxi to open the door, Nanhe saw Deng Jiaxiang through the door glass, let out a cheer, pushed the door and rushed in, ran to the hospital bed, and pounced on Deng Jiaxiang.

Nanxi stood at the door of the ward in a daze, looking at this scene, his heart was extremely heavy.

Deng Jiaxiang touched Nanhe's hair, his eyes looked at Nanxi at the door, and his eyes were a little red.

After a few days, he lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, the corners of his eyes, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth were injured, and he also had gauze on his forehead. He sat there, motionless, as if his legs were inconvenient.

Nanxi walked in, stood on the edge of the hospital bed, and pulled Nanhe: "Xiaohe, don't pester Brother Jiaxiang, he has injuries on his body, and it will hurt." ”

Nanhe listened, hugged Deng Jiaxiang's arm, lay on his body, and refused to leave.

"Leave her alone, let her go, she must have been frightened these days, thinking I don't want her anymore." Deng Jiaxiang raised his arm and wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his hospital gown.

I don't know why, in the face of Deng Jiaxiang, who was covered in bruises and haggard, Nanxi didn't have any sympathy.

But out of politeness, she asked, "How is your body?" It doesn't matter, right? ”

Deng Jiaxiang lowered his head, looked at his legs, and said, "Nothing else, no matter how painful it is, endure it and it will pass." That's it...... I still have no consciousness, and the doctor said that there is no major problem, and I don't know when I will get better. ”

Nanxi really wants to say: You did it yourself!

Looking at Deng Jiaxiang's weak and aggrieved expression, she couldn't tell the truth, so she had to say: "Since the doctor said it's okay, you don't have to worry, just take care of your injuries." ”

"Where can I take care of my wounds?" Deng Jiaxiang sighed, "Didn't you see those two policemen?" He came to me yesterday to record a confession, and he came again early this morning. There's a lot to do in the future, I'm afraid it's going to be annoying for a while. ”

Nanxi still has a voice in his heart saying: "Take the blame, if you weren't so obsessed with money, how could you end up like today?" ”

But she just raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.

Deng Jiaxiang saw that there was no expression on her face, and pursed his lips self-deprecatingly: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, I know you too well after so many years together." You must secretly scold me in your heart: you deserve it! Who made you greedy for money and love rich? It's your own fault for ending up like this! ”

Nanxi shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I am not qualified to comment." ”

"You said it had nothing to do with you, so what else are you going to do?" Deng Jiaxiang looked very sad, "If it weren't for Xiaohe, you wouldn't care if I lived or died, right?" ”

"Yes." Nanxi replied without hesitation, "There is infighting in your family, what can I say as an outsider except to watch?" ”

"If you want to be a bystander, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Why did Zhao Liangmao detain you yesterday, because you are not a person who has nothing to do with me, and he wants to use you to influence me. It's his son-in-law who doesn't have the same heart with him, otherwise, he really came to threaten me, for the safety of you and Xiaohe, I really wouldn't dare to bite out Zhao Xinyao, maybe just put the blame on Uncle Qing, and it would be over. When Deng Jiaxiang said this, his eyes peeked at Nanxi's face.

Nan Xi was expressionless, moved his lips, and said, "Xiaohe and I were detained, I don't blame you, after all, I left Xiaohe there." Now that we've been picked up, the matter is settled. The rest really has nothing to do with me, so you can do it yourself. ”

"Xiaoxi, I'm really sad when you say that. I am like this now, I don't want my parents to see it, but I have no other relatives here except you, if you refuse to help me, I am paralyzed in bed, what should I do? Deng Jiaxiang frowned sadly.

"What do you want me to help with?" Nan Xi asked.

"I can't rely on the police for everything, I need a good lawyer, I have suffered such a big personal injury, how can I spare Zhao Xinyao? In addition to the criminal part, I need a lawyer to help me with the personal injury compensation part of the lawsuit, and ...... In the near future, I may also need to deal with my divorce lawsuit......"

"Divorce? Has Pei Jiaoqian already filed for divorce from you? Nanxi was taken aback.
