76. Public opinion
"Didi-Didi-" The instrument kept ringing, and the rescue was being carried out in an orderly manner, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out, Xiao Xubai got up from his seat suddenly, and rushed over to stop the doctor with an arrow.
"How is she?" When I saw her fainting in her arms covered in blood, it was as if the sky was ruined in an instant, and the pain almost made her unable to breathe, and she still has palpitations.
"It's just that I lost too much blood and had multiple soft tissue abrasions on my body, and the situation is still relatively optimistic, but it's just ......"
"Just what?!" Xiao Xubai suddenly became excited, and almost stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
"It's just that the injuries I suffered in this situation, and I have been entangled with the gangsters alone for so long, I am afraid that I will leave post-traumatic stress disorder"
"Impossible, impossible, she herself is a psychological counselor" Xiao Xubai's body shook slightly, fortunately, Xiao Gao supported her, and after a day and a night of sleepless dripping water and a high degree of mental tension, her body had already been overdrawn to the extreme.
Xiao Gao's eyes inevitably turned red when he thought of that picture, at that time Xiao Minsheng meant that since Xiao Qi had been found, then Gu Nanfeng could give up, Xiao insisted on leading a team of people to rush in, and saw her lying on the ground in disheveled, with blood on her neck, wrists, and clothes, a man was shirtless and lifting his pants next to her, and when he saw someone rushing in, he subconsciously went to take the machete placed next to him and stabbed it, she had never seen Mr. Xiao who was so out of shape, and he roared hoarsely and let the special police shoot, and his eyes were bloodshot.
I have never seen Mr. Xiao, who is so fragile, holding the unconscious person and crying silently, until she comes back to her senses and reminds her that it is better to send people to the hospital first.
"Coat! Jacket for me! "The voice is still hoarse.
She quickly took off her jacket and draped it on Nanfeng, Xiao Xubai picked her up and turned around and ran.
I didn't feel depressed until I saw the doctor come out, but I had already lost my coolness.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, it's easy to say anything if people are alive"
Under her painstaking persuasion, Xiao Xubai gave up continuing to pester the doctor, sat down on the chair, buried his head in his palm, and kept shaking his shoulders.
Xiao Gao sat silently with her, and draped his coat over her shoulders.
The crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the floor sounded in the corridor, echoing for a long time in the quiet atmosphere, Xiao Gao looked back and immediately stood up straight.
"Chairman" her expression was a little wary, Xiao Xubai also slowly sat up straight, the coat slipped off her shoulders, revealing her bare shoulders, and the dress for the engagement ceremony had not had time to change it until now.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Xubai's eyes stared at him like an ice pick, as if he was not looking at his relatives but his enemies.
Xiao Minsheng frowned slightly, and didn't care about her faux pas, "How can I come to see my granddaughter's life-saving benefactor?" ”
Xiao Xubai sneered, "What about me, am I not your daughter?" She's my woman and yours ......"
"That's different, our Xiao family will not tolerate a person without any background to enter the door, let alone ......" Xiao Minsheng quickly interrupted her words, and was ridiculed by her.
"I can't compare to her except for my net worth, oh, by the way, my net worth background is also yours and not mine, do you think your daughter is very good? Please go to those reporters to inquire about what kind of brazen and unscrupulous person Xiao Xubai is! ”
"Enough!" Xiao Minsheng raised his hand but clenched it into a fist when he saw her burst into tears, is it his own daughter, he sighed lightly, and put his hand back to his side.
"Anyway, I'm still grateful to her for saving Xiao Qi, and her treatment costs are from me"
The girl who looks soft and weak has the courage to deal with the vicious gangsters alone, and she also protects Xiao Qi from being hurt in the slightest, and from this point of view, he has to admire.
It's just that the public opinion outside has been overwhelming, Xiao Xubai, who is the current ruler of the Xiao family, has been an extremely dazzling existence since her birth, and there must not be any stain on her life, although that girl is very good and kind, he admitted.
After he left, Xiao Xubai sat down on the chair again, unable to give up, if she could, she would rather scatter her family wealth than go back to before this incident to protect her from the slightest injury.
There were a few fresh lilies in the ward, the sun shining through the glass windows, and the dust dancing in the light, quiet and peaceful, as if the sinister ones were just a dream.
Gu Nanfeng moved her fingers, and a sharp stinging pain immediately came from her palm to remind her that it was all true, she closed her eyes slightly, buried her head in the soft pillow and sobbed in a low voice.
The door creaked, and she inevitably tensed up, biting her lower lip and pretending to sleep.
Xiao Xubai approached only to find that her whole body was trembling, I don't know if it was because of fear or something, curled up, like a child seeking refuge.
Her heart throbbed at this moment, and she slowly walked over and squatted beside her bed, and whispered to her, "Nanfeng, is there anything uncomfortable?" Thirsty or not, hungry or not? ”
There was no response, the person just shook his head blindly, refusing to raise his eyes to look at her, Xiao Xu took a little effort to rescue the person from the pillow, and she quickly shrank into the quilt, with her back to her, her shoulders kept shaking.
The moment he saw her face clearly, Xiao Xubai felt as if his heart was empty, and he was uncomfortable with soreness, and this feeling quickly spread to his limbs and limbs, and his eyes were wet.
The slender neck was wrapped in gauze round and round, his face was pale, his thin lips were not a trace of blood, and his beautiful eyes were full of fear, anxiety, fear, sadness, and sadness, and even the complex feelings that could not be described in words.
She slowly leaned over and hugged her from behind through the quilt, but Gu Nanfeng struggled but couldn't match her tighter and tighter strength.
"Nanfeng, I'm sorry" She kept whispering an apology in her ear, and her warm breath spit on the side of her neck, making Gu Nanfeng's tense body soften.
"It's me who is not good, I didn't protect you, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future"
She expressed her solemnity, Gu Nanfeng bit her lip and cried silently, "Don't ...... Don't hug me...... Dirty ......"
The heart seemed to have been punched hard, Xiao Xubai turned the person over, stared at her with gentle and focused eyes, and said word by word: "The doctor has already done an examination, no, no, Nanfeng, you are the most gentle, clean and kind girl I have ever met"
Gu Nanfeng was still resisting her hug, her lower lip was biting the skin, and her eyes were full of tears, which made people feel distressed.
Xiao Xubai reached out and rescued her lips from between her teeth, "Are we okay together?" ”
Gu Nanfeng looked at her in tears, and after a while, he shook his head desperately, and the violent struggle made the soft needle of the infusion on the back of his hand begin to return blood.
"South wind! Southerly! Listen to me," she used a little strength to restrain the person, and put her hands flat into the bed, and pressed her forehead against her forehead, making her look directly at herself, and her voice was gentle.
"I mean I want to pursue you, we get married together, have a child, grow up with her, and then spend our old age together"
She has never taken the initiative to pursue others, even if she was interested in her at the beginning, she only used means to forcibly seize her, so that she had to be with herself, such a confession has never happened in the past twenty-seven years, Xiao Xubai felt that her face was a little hot, and she was a little cautious.
Gu Nanfeng was silent for a long time, the pins in the ward could be heard, the resisting hand she put on her shoulder gradually tightened her neckline, and the moisture under her eyes never disappeared.
"You...... You're engaged...... We didn't have a possible ......"
"Who said that, no, I'm not engaged to Li Chen, you see" She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, there was no ring.
"What if...... If you're sorry or sympathetic, you don't have to, I'll do it if you change to any other child."
Gu Nanfeng turned his head away and stopped looking at her, tears began to fall again, and he bit his lower lip and refused to cry.
"The moment I heard that you had an accident, I felt that it hurt here" she pointed to her heart, "I was crazy looking for you, I can't imagine what it will be like to see you when I get home in the future, as long as I think about it, it starts to hurt and I can't breathe"
"At that time, I only had one thought, to find her, if I couldn't find her, I would kill Li Chen with my own hands, and then turn myself in, fortunately, you have always been so smart, I can find you by the way"
I don't know since when, I've gotten used to her company, used to her taking care of her diet and daily life, used to the neat white shirt she ironed in the closet, and no matter when she went, she would never be without clothes to wear.
Accustomed to the temperature on her body, the faint cinnamon fragrance can always let her sleep all night, and she is used to working overtime until late at night The milk she delivers to her hand is always at the right temperature, neither lukewarm nor hot.
Accustomed to her tying a tie for herself every morning, and then going out to work, accustomed to returning late at night and always leaving a light for her in the living room, so many habits have become natural, and she has never cared about the pay and gain, but the moment she learned that she was missing, these details all came to mind.
made Xiao Xubai feel that if she lost her, her future would never be better, she could easily navigate through several relationships, but she always understood too late in the face of feelings.
"Can I trust you anymore?" In the face of her seriousness, Gu Nanfeng began to waver, and there were still dewdrops on her long eyelashes, which began to fall again as she spoke.
"Believe me again" Xiao Xubai wanted to bow her head and kiss the tears that slipped down her cheeks, but the door was pushed open suddenly, "It's a dressing-"
The nurse immediately furrowed her eyebrows in the middle of her words, and her tone was stern, "What is this doing, she is still a patient!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Xiao Xubai quickly got off her, and she was embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, and her appearance of nodding and apologizing was a little funny.
The scratches in the palm of the palm are deep to the bone, and the wound has been cleaned and sutured, but when the dressing is changed, it still hurts in a cold sweat, Gu Nanfeng bit her lower lip and refused to shout, she is always used to using this action when she is stubborn.
Xiao Xubai clenched her other hand tightly, interlocking her fingers, "Pinch me if it hurts, don't bite yourself"
She clenched her hand tightly, like a person in the water grasping the last straw, Xiao Xubai also held her back slightly, even if she couldn't share the pain for her, she had to give her some warmth and support.
Because of the drug, she quickly fell asleep, Xiao Xubai got up to cover the door for her, Xiao Gao immediately stood up from the seat, "Mr. Xiao"
Xiao Xubai nodded, "You're watching her here, I'll go back to the company."
"Now the downstairs of the company has been blocked by the media, and after Li Chen was arrested, the whole world is looking for you, and the rumors that were finally quelled before are ......" Xiao Gao wanted to speak and stopped, "Even Miss Gu's school has ......"
A trace of anger condensed between Xiao Xu's white eyebrows, "She was doxxed?!" ”
"No, it seems that someone saw her making out with a woman in the office before......"
Xiao Xubai rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the figure that flashed outside the window in the office that day, "Let's take a leave for her first, she probably won't be able to work normally in such a state."
"May I ask Mr. Xiao, I heard that the police you personally reported to send your fiancé Mr. Li to prison, is there any hidden meaning in this?"
"Recently, a serious hostage-taking case was cracked in City B, and the rescued hostage heard that it was your rumored girlfriend, does this have anything to do with your sudden interruption of the engagement ceremony?"
"Some netizens broke the news that your rumored girlfriend is a talented woman B, a rising star in the literary world in recent years, and there are also rumors that she was adopted by you to become famous in such a short period of time......"
As soon as she got out of the car, she was surrounded by people, and all kinds of endless tricky and strange questions were smashed over her face, to her surprise, these people even dug up the identity of Nanfeng, in this Internet era, all secrets are no longer secrets.
Xiao Xubai entered the Xiao Mansion with a calm face under the protection of the security guards, isolating all the hustle and bustle behind her, her high heels clattered on the smooth floor, and she walked like flying into the elevator and went straight to the conference room on the top floor.
"Now our stock has fallen by ten percentage points, and there is more and more public opinion about Xiao in the society, and the core of the contradiction is that "everyone on the board of directors has set their eyes on Xiao Xubai, who is sitting at the top."
"Please also ask Mr. Xiao to give a reasonable explanation"
After the accident, the cooperative relationship between Xiao and Li was immediately terminated unilaterally, and this project alone lost tens of millions of dollars, as well as falling stocks and public opinion in the society, these people finally couldn't hold back in the face of interests.
Xiao Xubai stood up and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he regained his usual calm and calm appearance, "I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation for this matter, but not now, I have tried my best to regulate the issue of stocks and funds, and in the context of the financial crisis, it is inevitable that there will be a decline."
"May I ask Mr. Xiao, how long is this period?"
Immediately, a shareholder stood up and retorted, "You can also see that there are so many people downstairs, which has caused us a lot of trouble to travel to work, if this problem is not solved, the stock will continue to fall, after all, now public opinion is ......" He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xubai's expression, the person slightly hooked the corners of his lips and couldn't see joy and anger.
"Homosexuality is still unacceptable"
Xiao Xubai leaned back in the chair and nodded, snapped his fingers, and immediately someone behind him handed out Wen Jiàn clips along the table.
Everyone opened it suspiciously and saw that it was an asset appraisal report, detailing Xiao's current development and profitability and the equity value in everyone's hands, and the atmosphere began to fall silent, and the face of the person who had just spoken was as ugly as swallowing a fly.
"For the company's long-term development plan, as well as the unified decision-making power, optimize the market competitiveness, I decided to hold a general meeting of shareholders three days later, to buy the shares held by you at a high price, Xiao's position is limited, do not raise money and do not work and love to tell the right and wrong"
After she finished coldly, she threw down the signature pen and got up, "The initiative to talk to me is calculated by ten times the profit, and in the end, I am still unwilling to hand over the equity, I think my personal lawyer is very happy to talk to you"
In the past, she turned a blind eye, but now she has to use thunderous means to shock these people, and the equity acquisition has long been in her plan, but now it has to start in advance.
As soon as she stepped out of the conference room, the mobile phone shook in her pocket, it was Xing Ju's phone, her face was slightly condensed, and she couldn't help but drop the Wen Jiàn clip in her hand when she picked up just one sentence.
"Li Chen was acquitted"
