64. There is another place
As soon as Lu Zaiyuan's face turned around, she saw that his face was still teardropped, his mouth was flattened, and he was sniffing, as if he had been wronged.
"Hey! You're a little bit of a good guy, okay? Men don't flick when they have tears, and I don't have anything to do, why are you crying? Nanxi picked up the ball of tissue that he had wiped his tears from and wiped it on his face.
Sister Fen sat on the other side of the bed, covering her mouth and holding back a smile.
Nanxi didn't see her expression, and her heart was on Lu Zaiyuan's body: "Don't cry, it's a shame, Sister Fen is still here."
"You promise me to take care of your illness and not to worry about anything until your brain is healed." Lu Zaiyuan grabbed her hand and begged her.
"Okay, okay." At this time, Nanxi could only give in, "I promise you, from now on, I will take care of my illness, and I will wait until I get well and go home, right?" You really shed so many tears when you turned your face, how can a big man's tear ducts be so developed? ”
"Poof!" Sister Fen couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it developed?" I almost wiped half a glass of water on my face, and it was enough to wash my face. ”
Hearing Sister Fen say this, Nanxi stood up slightly and looked under the bed. I saw that the hand that Lu Zaiyuan was hiding below was holding half a cup, and the hand that wiped his face just now was still stained with water on his fingers, and it was dripping down.
"Bastard!" Nanxi found out that she had been fooled, she was ashamed and annoyed, and threw a ball of tissue on Lu Zaiyuan's face, "You dare to lie to me!" I'm so angry with you that I'm alive this day, what kind of injuries do you have? Just faint and forget it! ”
Lu Zaiyuan smiled, grabbed her hand, and wiped a few handfuls on his face: "If I don't make a big move, how can you be quiet?" ”
"Nasty! Don't touch me! Nanxi pulled his hand back.
Lu Zaiyuan laughed, grabbed her hand and slapped it on himself: "If you are angry, hit me a few times, as long as you are good, I am willing to kill me." ”
"Ouch" Sister Fen deliberately took out a sour look on the side, "It's almost enough, huh, when I'm air?" Even if it's in front of a room of air, you two should be a little ashamed, right? When I don't have a husband? Stimulate me again, I can go home to my husband, no matter you. ”
"Don't!" Lu Zaiyuan begged Sister Fen for mercy, "Don't! If Sister Fen doesn't care about us, Xiaoxi and I will lose the backbone of our backers. ”
"You come less! Seeing that you were very strict when you were the boss, how did you also have the energy to be hippie? Keep your set to coax Xiaoxi, this stupid girl, I don't eat this set. Sister Fen was joking with him.
Lu Zaiyuan stood up: "I'm serious, Xiaoxi really wants to ask you, I have important things to do now, you help me take care of her first, no matter who it is, don't enter this ward again, let her rest well." I'll be right back when I'm done. ”
"No problem, but I need a raise." Sister Fen tilted her head to see that the road was far away.
Lu Zaiyuan sorted out his clothes, pulled his hair, and said to Sister Fen: "No problem, as long as you take care of Xiaoxi, I will give you a supervisor-level salary"
"Rich!" Sister Fen smiled.
Lu Zaiyuan lowered his head and kissed Nanxi on the lips: "Obediently recuperate, don't care about anything, wait for me to come back and bring you something delicious." ”
After he left, Sister Fen poured a glass of water, and while feeding Nanxi water, she said: "Xiaoxi, Curly seems to be a good man, maybe you took shit luck, lost a sesame seed, and picked up a big watermelon." ”
Nan Xi moistened his dry throat and said, "I don't know that when I first picked him up, I only wanted to divorce him, but now I am reluctant to divorce him." ”
"So what does he mean? Don't you have a separation agreement? Are you still honoring that agreement? Sister Fen asked with concern.
Nanxi remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help blushing: "No, he told me yesterday that he loved me"
Sister Fen looked at Nanxi with a happy expression on her face, and teased her: "Oh, look at you, your face is blushing like this, you are about to faint with happiness, do you want me to call the doctor?" ”
"Sister Fen" Nanxi blamed Sister Fen.
After such a trouble, the conflict caused by the Nanhe incident to Nanxi has been alleviated a lot.
Because he was worried about Nanhe, Nanxi began to recuperate seriously, and he didn't get on the Internet, didn't inquire, and didn't care about anything. She knew in her heart that if her health was not good, she would not be able to take care of her sister.
Even if Deng Jiaxiang didn't come that day, she was already mentally prepared. After all, Deng Jiaxiang is no longer her person, and her sister's illness can't be counted on from him.
At first, she just hoped that Deng Jiaxiang could come and persuade her sister to eat. Who knew that Deng Jiaxiang actually cared about Nanhe very much, and risked being suspected and taught a lesson by the Pei family's parents to visit Nanhe every day.
Deng Jiaxiang intervened in her life in this way, but she was actually very resistant in her heart.
But when she saw that as long as Deng Jiaxiang appeared by Nanhe's side, Nanhe would be obviously happy, and later she could even say a few words under Deng Jiaxiang's inducement.
Such progress simply made her ecstatic.
Therefore, she repeatedly connived at Deng Jiaxiang's appearance in her home, and she persuaded herself: For her sister, everything is for her sister!
Unexpectedly, my sister's condition had just improved, and there was an incident of being secretly photographed. In this way, Zhao Xinyao did not allow Deng Jiaxiang to get close to the two sisters again, and she could fully understand it.
What should my sister do next? She was also at a loss in her heart. But she knew that no matter how difficult it was, she had to carry this burden.
During the week she was hospitalized, the only thing she cared about every day was that her sister was not at home. She always had an ominous premonition, as if she would not be able to see her sister when she returned home from the hospital.
But Lu Zaiyuan and Sister Fen both told her that Nanhe was at home and had a nanny to take care of her, which was very good.
She calls home every day, and the nanny answers. The nanny also repeatedly assured her: "Nanhe is at home, everything is fine, don't worry." ”
She also thought: No matter how bold Deng Jiaxiang is, he doesn't dare to take Nanhe away without her consent, right? She is Nanhe's legal guardian, and it is illegal to take Xiaohe away without the consent of her guardian.
In this way, she stayed in the hospital for a week and was finally about to be discharged.
Early that morning, she took a shower and changed her clothes, sat on the bed and waited for Lu Ziyuan to complete the discharge procedures, and couldn't wait to leave the hospital and go home.
A week in the hospital suffocated her.
She lowered the window to let in the fresh air and warmth and sunshine, and she exclaimed comfortably, "Ah! That's great! It feels so good to see the light of day again! The hospital is really not a place for people, and I don't want to get sick again in the future! ”
Lu Zaiyuan glanced at her and replied, "Yes, you have been hospitalized for a week, and you have simply peeled off my skin, and I will not dare to make you sick in the future." ”
Nanxi turned his head to look at him and saw that there was no joy on his face. From the time he went through the discharge procedures in the hospital just now, he was like this, with a faint face, as if he had something on his mind.
"Hey! Are you not happy that I was discharged from the hospital? The face is so long? Say! Did you do something bad outside while I was in the hospital? Nanxi patted him on the shoulder and asked him.
Lu Zaiyuan sighed, nodded and said, "I really did something bad, I have to confess to you." ”
With that, he slapped the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road.
Nanxi was just joking with him, but he didn't expect him to get serious. She turned her head to look at him uneasily: "Don't scare me, what's the matter?" Did you cheat? ”
Lu Zaiyuan grabbed her hands, held them tightly in his palms, and looked at her with eyes full of guilt: "You promise me first, you are not allowed to be excited, you are not allowed to cry, if you have any ideas, discuss with me well, I will definitely stand on your side." ”
Nanxi seemed to realize something, opened her mouth, and tears welled up: "It was Xiaohe Xiaohe who was taken away by Deng Shaoqi, right?" ”
Lu Zaiyuan nodded helplessly: "Yes"
Nanxi's anger jumped up to his head, and he broke out all of a sudden: "How come? Don't you go home every day? Didn't the nanny say Ling Ling was good? Are you all lying to me? ”
"I'm afraid that it will affect your recovery, and the doctor said that you can't be too excited and angry, otherwise the consequences will be very strict, and I can't do anything."
Nanxi was jumping around in the car, and Lu Zaiyuan could only lean over and hug her, press her in his arms, and explain to her.
But where could Nanxi listen, she hit him: "Are you a dead man?" If he wants to take it away, will you let him take it? Why not knock him out? Why not snatch the creek back? ”
After making trouble in the ward that day, Deng Jiaxiang didn't send Xiaohe home at all, he brought Xiaohe directly from the hospital to Pei's house. After I knew about this, I chased after Pei's house and wanted to bring Xiaohe back, but you knew that Xiaohe couldn't listen to me, and I didn't dare to rob it, I was afraid that it would stimulate Xiaohe and cause bad consequences."
Hearing him say this, Nanxi suddenly became quiet.
She pushed him away, wiped her face, and said calmly, "Drive!" ”
"Where to go?" Lu Zaiyuan doesn't know what she wants to do?
"Go to Pei's house! I'm going to bring my sister home! That's my sister! Not Deng Jiaxiang's sister! He doesn't have the right to take her! Nanxi said word by word.
"Good! As long as you decide, I will definitely be on your side! Lu Zaiyuan started the car, turned around, and drove out of the city.
Nanxi couldn't understand why Deng Jiaxiang was able to put aside their six-year relationship and go to a wealthy family as a son-in-law, but now he suddenly has a responsibility, and he actually brought Xiaohe to Pei's house in order to have a dispute with Zhao Xinyao.
Does he really care so much about Xiaohe? Even if you don't hesitate to offend your father-in-law and mother-in-law, do you have to bear the big burden of Xiaohe?
What kind of mentality did he come from? Is it guilt?
No matter what he thought, Nanxi would not hand over Nanhe to him.
Therefore, as soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she went straight to Pei's house and made up her mind to take Xiaohe home.
Lu Zaiyuan drove the car and drove her to the Pei family's villa on the top of the hill outside the city.
As soon as the car drove outside the gate, before the road got off the car to call the door, the two majestic bronze doors opened automatically.
Lu Zaiyuan turned his head and glanced at Nanxi: "Look at it like this, we are quite welcome, did you expect that you would definitely come after you were discharged from the hospital?" ”
Nan Xi's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
Lu Zaiyuan drove the car in, and saw Deng Jiaxiang standing under the porch of the main building, greeting them.
The car stopped in the parking lot on the west side, and Lu got off the car in Yuan and Nanxi, and walked towards Deng Jiaxiang.
Deng Jiaxiang greeted him and looked at Nanxi with a smile: "I know you, I know that when you are discharged from the hospital today, the first thing must be to come here, your temper is still so urgent." ”
Nanxi was very angry, but she didn't come out immediately. After all, in taking care of Nanhe, Deng Jiaxiang did his best. Although he brought Xiaohe to Pei's house without her consent, she was very dissatisfied. But she still wants to believe that Deng Jiaxiang is well-intentioned and wants to see Xiaohe recover.
She suppressed her anger and looked at Deng Jiaxiang calmly: "Since you know me so well, you shouldn't have brought Xiaohe here." Where is my sister? I'm here to take her home. ”
Deng Jiaxiang was prepared, and said unhurriedly: "You come with me, I'll take you to see Xiaohe first." ”
So, he led the way in front, and Nanxi and Lu followed behind him, bypassing the main building and walking backwards.
This sprawling villa consists of a main building, two annexes, and several outbuildings in the backyard. Of course, the owners of this family live in the main building, the east annex is all guest rooms, the west annex has an indoor game pool, and the upper floor is a gym and games room.
Several outbuildings in the backyard were used by the servants who provided services to the family.
Among them is a small two-story building, at the northernmost end of this large courtyard, hidden under the shade of several ancient plane trees, with red walls and white wooden gates, it is actually a small independent courtyard.
Push open the wooden door and walk into the small courtyard, you can see a plaque hanging on the lintel of the gate of the small building, on which there are three gold lacquer characters "Zhenmo Pavilion". Although the gold paint has been mottled and scattered, these three words can be seen clearly.
This small courtyard is the original villa owner used to treasure calligraphy and painting, idle to have nothing to do, come to this small courtyard, sit in the Zhenmo Pavilion for a while, drink a pot of tea, write and paint, or appreciate the cherished ancient calligraphy and painting, is the original owner's Yaxing.
When this villa was in the hands of Zhao Liangmao, this small courtyard was empty. Zhao Liangmao hasn't read much, and he was born in the underworld, he likes gold, silver and jewelry, but he doesn't know anything about calligraphy and painting.
As a result, this original elegant place was used to pile up debris that had not been used for many years.
It wasn't until Deng Jiaxiang said that he wanted to bring Nanhe over that Zhao Xinyao remembered this small courtyard. She asked the clutter to be cleaned up, the house was cleaned up, the furniture was arranged, and Nanhe was given a place to live.
When Deng Jiaxiang walked into the courtyard with Nanxi and Lu Zaiyuan, Nanhe was sitting under an old plane tree in the middle of the courtyard. There was an easel in front of her, and a paint tray next to it, while she was painting quietly with an apron and a paintbrush in hand.
Nan Xi walked over and stood behind Nan He, looking down at her painting.
I saw that she drew a small bird, with its head bowed, standing on a dead branch with its wings folded, and above the bird was a fiery red sky, and there were nine suns burning like fireballs in the sky.
Nanxi didn't call her sister right away, she pondered the meaning of the painting in front of her. She didn't know what was going on in her sister's mind, and she couldn't ask, maybe her sister's painting could tell her something.
Just as he was thinking, the door on the first floor was pushed open, and Dr. Zhou walked out of the room.
Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to greet him: "Doctor Zhou? Why are you here? ”
Doctor Zhou smiled kindly: "How strange is your question, I am Nanhe's doctor, where she is, of course I will appear." ”
"Oh?" Nanxi made a questioning voice.
Deng Jiaxiang said behind her: "I was afraid that Xiaohe would not be able to adapt to the new environment, so I specially asked Dr. Zhou. Dr. Zhou has been coming every day for a while, in addition to checking Xiaohe's mental condition, and her weekly hypnotherapy has not been interrupted. ”
So careful!
Nanxi glanced back at Deng Jiaxiang and said, "Thank you, I can see that Xiaohe is well taken care of here." But now that I've been discharged from the hospital, Xiaohe has no reason to live in someone else's house anymore and cause trouble to other people's homes. ”
As she spoke, she walked into the house, and said to Lu Zaiyuan, "Husband, you come with me, let's go clean up the things in the river." ”
This is the first time she has opened her mouth to call Lu Zaiyuan's "husband", Lu Zaiyuan was secretly happy in her heart, and hurried to follow her.
They entered the house, and Deng Jiaxiang also walked in. He stopped in front of Nanxi: "Xiaoxi, let's talk." ”
"What to talk about? If it's about Xiaohe, then you don't have to open your mouth, I've troubled you enough, from now on, I won't embarrass you because of Xiaohe, if it's something else, I'm not free now, I'll talk about it when I take Xiaohe home. As soon as Nanxi opened his mouth, he blocked Deng Jiaxiang's mouth.
However, since Deng Jiaxiang planned to stay in Nanhe, of course he would not give up.
"Of course, it's about the river, and now there's nothing more important to me than healing the river," he said. ”
Hearing him say this, Nanxi squinted her eyes and looked at him: "Deng Jiaxiang, you are really too attentive to Xiaohe, don't you think this is a bit too much?" The way you look now, I feel weird, and I can't rest assured that I will put Xiaohe by your side! ”
"Xiaoshio!" Deng Jiaxiang shouted, looking injured and wronged, "What do you mean by this?" Xiaohe, she's just a sick child, what can I draw from her? Does she have a huge fortune? How can you say that about me, I'm just because I feel guilty about you two sisters, and I can't help with anything else, only Nanhe is a matter that I can do! That's all I want to do for you! If you have to say that I have an intention, good! I admit it! I have an intention! I hope that after Xiaohe recovers from her illness, she can hate me less if she knows what I have done for her! I also hope that one day when Xiaohe can take the initiative to call you sister, you will hate me less! That's what I'm trying to do! ”
His words were eloquent and reasonable, and Nanxi didn't know how to refute him for a while.
