92. Resignation
It has been a long time since she has been injecting sedatives to maintain her feelings, because of the relationship between the paralyzed nervous system, Gu Nanfeng has more time to sleep and less time to wake up, even if she is awake, she is confused, and she can't think about it at all, until she begins to slowly accept the fact of losing her child.
Day by day, the body recovered, and day by day I became more and more silent, and there used to be times when I laughed, but now I don't speak, move, or laugh, and I look at the ceiling all day with my eyes open.
Whether it was Fu Lin or Song Zhixia, no one would pay attention to her, and in the face of such a state, the psychiatrist would have nothing to do, and he couldn't open her heart at all.
She's like a door that doesn't lock at all, and it's hard to get started.
"I think her current state can only be ...... by Xiao Xubai"
Before the words fell, Song Zhixia interrupted her, "Don't forget who caused her to be like this!" ”
Xu is two people were a little excited, their voices unconsciously became louder, when Xiao Xubai's three words fell into her ears, Gu Nanfeng's eyes fluctuated a little, she struggled out of bed, and moved out step by step with her crutches, only a few steps away from the hospital bed to the door, she was already out of breath, and every joint in her body was sore.
The door of "Fu Lin" was suddenly opened, Gu Nanfeng's voice was still a little hoarse, but his eyes were as silent as death.
"If I go back to her, I might as well die"
When I think of what happened that day, my whole body trembled uncontrollably, it was her, it was she who indirectly harmed their children!
and the things she and Aya did, every lie, every one by one, all of them are heart-wrenching, if Gu Nanfeng would rather go back to the time when he didn't know her before, and give the first time to any man, wouldn't it be better than the heartbreaking now.
Speaking of Xiao Xubai, she began to get excited again, her eyes were red, her hair was scattered, her face was pale, and her thin lips were not bloody.
"It's her...... She was the one who harmed our children...... She is a murderer...... I might as well die......"
"South Wind" Song Zhixia became nervous, her feelings changed quickly, this may be a stricter problem than physical health, and she already has a tendency to depression.
Motioning to Fu Lin to come over and help her back to the bed, Gu Nanfeng was still vibrating in his mouth, and he was all those few words over and over again, and no one would pay attention to what he said.
Xiao Xubai was depressed for a long time after sobering up, and the people who loved their work so much in the past are now only stuffed in the room without saying a word, all work is left behind, and only when looking at her photos will the corners of her lips show a smile.
The room was full of her breath, as if she was still there, there was her smell everywhere, in the quilt on her clothes, the flowers she planted on the balcony were still there, but they were a little cowardly, Xiao Xubai followed her example and filled the kettle with water to water the flowers little by little, but it was a little clumsy, splashing everywhere.
The sun was shining, but she felt a little dazzling, and a large drop of water suddenly fell on the floor, Xiao Xubai covered her lips and threw away the kettle, sobbing silently.
There are a lot of dirty clothes in the bedroom that no one washes, if she was there in the past, she would definitely clean it up neatly, Xiao Xubai cleaned it up and threw it all into the washing machine, and took a rag to wipe the ashes on her desk, the notebook she gave her has not been opened for a long time, Xiao Xubai pressed the boot button, and there is actually a login password, she thought about it and entered a string of numbers neatly, sure enough, it was her birthday.
The tears that were just hard to stop welled up again, and the only photo they took on the boot screensaver was the only photo they had together, it was still in H City for Chinese New Year's Eve, they set off fireworks by the river, asked passers-by to take a photo, their eyebrows and eyes were crooked to laugh together, Xiao Xubai slightly tilted his head to kiss her cheek, and the background was the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
Tears splashed on the keyboard little by little, Xiao Xubai hurriedly pulled a tissue to wipe it, but the more he wiped it, a large flower appeared on the keyboard.
The doorbell rang sharply, she came back to her senses and wiped her face a few times to open the door, it was Xiao Gao who was still pulling Xiao Qi, and as soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into her arms, "Mom...... They all said that Teacher Gu was dead...... I don't believe ......"
In an instant, tears poured out, Xiao Xubai rubbed the person tightly in his arms, and he couldn't cry anymore, seeing that Xiao Gao had prepared all the words he had prepared for her swallowed into his stomach.
"Mr. Xiao, Qi Qi has been clamoring to find her mother, so I sent her over"
Xiao Xubai nodded, still didn't speak, Xiao Gao was a little speechless and stopped, "...... in the company"
"If it's work, don't bother me" Before the words fell, Xiao Xubai had already interrupted her, although she had calmed down, her eyes were still red, and her voice had always been hoarse.
The insomnia and dreams of these days made her look haggard, and the whole person quickly lost weight, and her face was abnormally pale.
Xiao Xubai picked up, almost everything was pressed on her shoulders, and she was a little anxious because of the debt crisis, and the corners of her mouth were foaming, but seeing her like this, her heart was soft, and there was a trace of pity.
"It's okay...... Mr. Xiao take care, I'll come to see you again when I have time."
After she left, the room fell silent again, Xiao Qi was sensible not to disturb her, a pair of eyes were full of tears, looking around at the figure of that person, but there was nothing, her mouth was curled and she wanted to cry, and she couldn't help it when she saw Xiao Xubai's eyes were red.
A person can make do casually, Xiao Qi is growing up and it is impossible not to eat, Xiao Xubai touched her head and motioned for her to play by herself, turned around and went into the kitchen.
The kitchen is a very strange place for her, she can't cook anything except Western food, and it is obvious that Xiao Qi does not like to eat these things, she hesitated for a while and turned out the rice from the cabinet, washed it and put it in the electric pressure cooker.
There are only a few sick greens in the refrigerator, and a few round eggplants, make a green vegetable soup and burn eggplant, it looks quite simple, she is full of confidence but it is difficult to practice, she is used to the hand of the knife and fork but can't make the kitchen knife, a careless index finger on a cut, blood gushed out instantly, and she bared her teeth in pain.
Turning out the band-aid from the medicine box, Xiao Xubai was a little discouraged, looking at the empty kitchen clean and tidy, as if there was no trace of anyone coming, he suddenly swept all the tableware to the ground, and after a few loud noises, Xiao Xubai laughed silently and burst into tears, "Nanfeng, come back and see, I won't even cook without you, and Qiqi, she misses you too, how can you bear it...... How can you bear ......?"
Leave them behind and go.
Xiao Qi was also frightened, shivering in the sofa, and finally Xiao Xubai called to order takeout, and by the way, he also found a housekeeping company to clean up the house.
The doorbell rang again, she walked over and opened the door and froze in place, there were several people in suits and leather shoes standing outside the door, one of whom took out the text from the briefcase and handed it to her.
"May I ask Ms. Xiao, we are the Intermediate People's Court of City B, China CITIC Bank sued you for defaulting on a huge amount of money and not paying it back, please hold a trial in the court at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday."
Xiao Xubai raised a trace of anger between his eyebrows, CITIC has always been one of Xiao's partners, she has made loans, but they are all in the name of the company, and if she wants to sue the entire Xiao, not to mention that she can't afford to pay it back, it's just that the project is still under construction, and the funds are a little ineffective.
"In addition, a person familiar with the matter reported that you embezzled Shaw's funds, causing a huge deficit, now please return to the bureau with us for investigation"
Xiao Xubai's body shook slightly, but fortunately he held on to the door frame, what could be more laughable than receiving a summons from the court and an inquiry from the Public Security Bureau at the same time.
She smiled slightly at the corners of her lips, gritting her teeth a little, "I'll go with you, please wait a minute"
Needless to say, this insider knew who it was, Xiao Xubai quickly called Xiao Gao to understand the situation, and by the way, asked her to take care of Xiao Qi first.
What Xiao Gao was trying to avoid these days finally happened, she bounced up from the seat with a bang, her voice trembling, "Mr. Xiao...... Xiao always have to be careful, they have conclusive evidence in their hands, and if they can't do it, they will really ......."
Being in debt is still a trivial matter, and going to jail is the last thing she wants to see.
Xiao Xubai's voice was unexpectedly calm, "Has Xiao Minsheng ever come forward these days?" ”
Little Gordon paused for a moment before replying, "No...... During this time, Fang Rou is in charge of the company's affairs."
A sneer was drawn at the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, how can he care about these things if he can't hide, he has long known that there is no family affection in a wealthy family, only interests, and now he is the real dead heart.
"Got it, take care of Xiao Qi, I might squat in there for a while"
When the financial reports were placed in front of her, Xiao Xubai had no way to refute it, she only bit it to death and refused to admit it, she had done things to set up Xiao's, but she did it carefully, and the companies she created outside were also in the name of Xiao's, so the other party was helpless, and they were wrestling with each other.
Xiao Gao was busy collecting evidence everywhere, striving to win the case, and even used a little means to bribe the judge was also returned, under Fang Rou's high-pressure policy, she was also walking on thin ice in the Xiao family, if it weren't for the qualifications, she would be in danger of being fired at any time.
When the verdict came down, Xiao Gao, who never cried lightly, cried like a child in front of people, and when the news reached Xiao Xubai, the corners of her lips only showed a relieved smile, even if it cost her family.
Because she did not admit her guilt when she died, she could not be proved to have embezzled funds based on a few financial reports alone, at most it was just a dereliction of duty, and the whereabouts of the funds were unknown, and she was released after being detained for more than ten days.
When she walked out of the gate of the detention center, the sunlight was a little dazzling, she narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering that she had come to pick up that person from prison a long time ago, when they were not together, she just cried and threw herself into her arms, which made this heart throb for a long time.
I don't know what to do, I go deep, and she woke up too late, understood too late, and when she wanted to be good to her, she had already left her forever.
When Xiao Xubai re-entered the Xiao building, there was a whisper behind her, and she walked into the elevator without squinting, and like countless meetings in the past, she stepped on seven-centimeter high heels and clicked into the conference room in high spirits.
The board of directors was suddenly interrupted, Xiao Xubai appeared at the door, which immediately caused a commotion, everyone was talking to each other, it was Fang Rou who was presiding over the meeting, and Xiao Minsheng was sitting in the first place, and he frowned slightly when he saw her come in.
The theme of today's meeting was to decide whether to remove her as CEO, and Fang Rou stopped her mouth and looked at what else she could play.
Xiao Xubai walked straight to Xiao Minsheng and threw down a resignation report, "From today on, I have nothing to do with Xiao's, I don't need to carry your black cauldron anymore, and I don't need you to interfere in my emotional problems."
Her eyes were as cold as knives, staring at Xiao Minsheng, what role did he and Fang Rou play in that sudden car accident, and the owner of the car who caused the accident that has not been found so far, it has to make people suspicious, she used to tolerate it in every way, but now she has no scruples, Gu Nanfeng is her weakness, and now she has nothing, so she is naturally inviolable.
"Xiao Xubai, this is your attitude towards your boss's resignation?" Xiao Minsheng suppressed his anger, looking at her and unable to hide his haggardness, he also felt a little unhappy in his heart.
The reason why she was fired was because she could get a huge amount of liquidated damages during the contract period, but Xiao Xubai disdained such charity.
"From today onwards, you are no longer my boss, and you are no longer my father, I am just surnamed Xiao, and I have nothing to do with you, and"
She faced Fang Rou, although her eyes were calm, there was a hint of cold chill hidden, "Gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, I wish you a long time to sit in this position"
There was silence in the conference room, everyone was overwhelmed by her cold and hard momentum, and in the silence, Xiao Minsheng stood up, "Okay, good, you Xiao Xubai, I guarantee that as long as you walk out of this gate, you won't even have a place to stay, what are you if you leave the Xiao family!" ”
In a fit of rage, Xiao Minsheng couldn't help but burst into foul language, slammed the Wen Jiàn in his hand, and clamped it on the glass tabletop and made a sharp loud noise.
A sneer drew on the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips, she is indeed not a thing, since she was a child, her father did not love her mother, and she finally met someone who was really good to her, but she hurt her again and again, knowing that the enemy was in front of her but the pain of not being able to use her hand made her grit her teeth.
Xiao Gao looked at this confrontation, and felt no guilt in his heart, especially in the hospital, Gu Nanfeng had also protected her, and although Xiao Xubai was a little harsh in his work, he was not a good boss, how could he sit here for a meeting without her support, not to mention how could he have a good life under Fang Rou's hands.
She gradually pursed the corners of her lips and stood up, "Chairman, I also resign, I will resign another day, I will pack my things today"
He didn't pay attention to the little assistant, Xiao Minsheng looked at the dead silence below and sneered, "Who else wants to leave, take advantage of today to propose to go to the financial settlement salary!" ”
Originally, it was just a deterrent, but I didn't expect Qin Ge, who was sitting at the bottom, to stand up slowly, "I also resign"
The others glanced at each other a few times, and they were all a little commotion, although Fang Rou had Xiao Minsheng's support behind her, her work strength was obviously not as good as Xiao Xubai's, she seemed to be approachable, but in fact, she hid a knife in her smile, and everyone who could sit here was a human spirit, how could there be a reason not to understand?
It's just that Xiao Xubai is now burdened with foreign debts, and it is unknown whether he can make a comeback one day, but this bet is to bet on the future of his life.
Qin Ge is now a well-known designer, Xiao Minsheng suppressed his anger, "Qin Ge, you'd better think clearly before you speak"
"Chairman, this is my resignation, please take a look"
Even the resignation letter was ready, everyone was in an uproar, and several colleagues from the design department looked at each other and stood up decisively.
"Chairman, we also resign"
Xiao Minsheng's body shook slightly, the design department was one of the most core departments, which was equivalent to losing his right hand, and Fang Rou's face was difficult to look at.
"You ......"
"Chairman, and me"
"And me"
All of them are middle-level and younger managers, and they were already chilled when they saw Xiao Minsheng's cold treatment after Xiao Xubai's accident, who knows if they will be blamed for accidents in the future.
Although Xiao Xubai was smiling, a layer of wetness appeared in his eyes, and he bowed slightly to everyone, "Thank you for trusting me, I promise that there will be a new real estate leader to replace the current Xiao in three years."
Later, she really fulfilled her promise, fought against the Shaw family, and had real freedom, but that person would never come back.
――The dividing line of memory―
When the phone rang, the wind was blowing outside the window, the rain was pouring in, and there was a layer of humidity in the air, Gu Nanfeng opened his eyes from the sofa blankly, touched the mobile phone on the table, and heard a weak sob.
"Qiqi, what's wrong?"
Gu Nanfeng sat up straight in an instant, nervous.
"Today, my mother went back to City B on a business trip, and she said that she would come back soon, and she hasn't come home yet, and it's thundering...... I'm scared at home alone."
Although Xiao Qi's autism is cured, it has left a defect after all, that is, she is afraid of thunder, and she always can't sleep well on stormy nights, not to mention that even she is a little frightened on such a stormy night.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'll pick you up and wait for me at home"
After hanging up the phone, she found the umbrella in the dark, gently pushed open the bedroom door, glanced at Ye Qiu's sleeping Zhengxiang, relaxed a little, picked up the key and went out of the house.
