Gu Nanfeng looked at her in a daze and slowly turned red, such true feelings were rare to show her, she closed her eyes slightly, and her face was a little overwhelmed.

"South Wind, if something like this happens next time, don't rush out recklessly"

Gu Nanfeng shook his head, his voice lost its former warmth, and there was a hint of hoarseness, "Didn't you save me too?"

"It's different, I should protect you, how can I be willing to put you in danger, I have to believe that I can handle it"

She has always been in good health, and it is okay to be stabbed, Gu Nanfeng is different, every time she wanders around the ghost gate, she almost can't be saved.

Gu Nanfeng tilted her head slightly and did not answer, the instinctive reaction at the critical moment had already exposed her mind, so that she had nothing to hide in front of her, and in Xiao Xubai's perceptive eyes, she saw her cowardice.

"Nanfeng" She suddenly held her hand, interlocked her fingers, there was a solemnity on her face, and when the confession was about to blurt out, Gu Nanfeng had already interrupted her.

"What about Ye Qiu?" I couldn't see her anymore.

Xiao Xubai was choked for a moment, swallowed the words back silently, frowned slightly, and finally decided to hide it from her first.

"She's not in good health, so she didn't come"

Gu Nanfeng nodded and didn't delve into it, his body was still very tired when he woke up, and he closed his eyes slightly after talking for a while.

Xiao Xubai tucked the corners of the quilt for her, "Let's sleep for a while"

The hand that was interlocked with her fingers never let go, Gu Nanfeng didn't have the strength to struggle, and the fatigue came up wave after wave, making her gradually trance, and the eyes before she lost consciousness fell into her mind, as if they were familiar.

In the context of the international financial crisis, Xiao's stock has also been impacted, after a week of continuous plummeting, people have jumped from the top floor of Xiao's, and at the same time, the media broke the fact that Xiao's current CEO Fang Rou had laundered money, the pictures and texts made it impossible to refute, the public security organs began to intervene in the investigation, Ye Qiu's testimony pushed her to the forefront, the crime of intentional injury can be big or small, under the promotion of Xiao Xubai, public opinion has intensified, Fang Rou has not appeared in public for half a month, Rumor has it that she has absconded with the money and her whereabouts are unknown.

A large number of angry shareholders and police have surrounded Xiao's downstairs, and when Xiao Minsheng heard the news, the situation had become out of control, and he was blocked in his heart and was admitted to the hospital again.

He knows Xiao Xubai's temperament best, and he will repay him, after so many years of hibernation, he finally let her wait for the opportunity to bite Xiao to death, after all, he had suffered so much humiliation back then, and he lost the person he loved deeply, but he was wrong in really underestimating the weight of Gu Nanfeng in her heart.

"Fu ...... Help me up......" Xiao Minsheng struggled to get up from the hospital bed, but was held down by the secretary, "Chairman...... Your body still needs to rest in peace."

"Book me a ticket to H City, go now, right away"

The face of the long-term commander had a more stern look than before, and the secretary opened his mouth and finally changed his words, "Okay chairman, let's go"

Xiao Minsheng took out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from the bedside table, poured it in his palm and swallowed it casually before he felt a little soothed in his heart, and ordered someone to find out Fang Rou's whereabouts, telling her that even if she was caught, she would bite to death and not admit it.

In the conference room on the top floor, a meeting for the acquisition of the Xiao family is in full swing, because the hand is not very convenient, Qin Ge will speak, and she will add the details that are not enough, and the people sitting here are the backbone elites of the Xiao family who left with her in the past, and they can make a comeback and even bring down the Xiao family, which also makes them glad that they did not follow the wrong person at the beginning.

Xiao Xubai's face didn't have much joy, which was expected, while playing with the signature pen in his hand, he still had time to think about the south wind, and there was a soft smile on the corner of his lips, which seemed to be quite calm and relaxed.

When the atmosphere of the meeting was in full swing, the glass door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Gao stood at the door with a slight embarrassment, "Sorry, excuse me, Xiao always has someone to find"

Xiao Xubai turned his head slowly, and there was already a secret guess in his heart, the figure behind Xiao Gao was not as tall as before, slightly hunched over, and the silver threads of his sideburns were more conspicuous in the sunlight.

Xiao Xubai felt sad for a moment, put down the pen and got up from his seat, motioned for them to continue, and slowly walked out and closed the door.

It was not her office, but the reception room where the company received foreign guests, and such an unfamiliar treatment made Xiao Minsheng's face slowly cool down.

"Xiao Gao, look at the tea" The heat blurred his vision, and Xiao Xubai's face became even more detached, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

There is no greeting and no dad directly cuts to the topic, this is their usual way of communication, but after many years, Xiao Minsheng is already dying, and she is no longer young, the whole person's temperament is more calm, the edge is inward, implicit but not revealed.

"Let go of Fang Rou, this is the only time Dad begs you for so many years" Under her powerful aura, Xiao Minsheng finally said soft words, and the word begging was still harsh to Xiao Xubai's ears.

"Please? When I begged you to let go of the south wind, why didn't anyone show mercy, but now they have come to beg me" A sneer crossed Xiao Xubai's lips, and there was a trace of soft sadness in his eyes.

Since she was a child, Xiao Minsheng didn't love herself and her brother, she thought it would be good to grow up but became more and more alienated, until he divorced his mother, he didn't even say a word of love for her, not a word of affection, she worked hard to go to school and study to get ahead, and took over the company after her brother's death, and her career was booming, I thought I would get a word of appreciation from him, but no, just because she was gay, she abandoned her as if she were wrong, and even rushed to clear up the relationship after her accident, ignoring it, But after Fang Rou's accident, he came thousands of miles to intercede, in the end, he treated her like this because he didn't love her.

"Why are they also your daughters, you can be so soft with each other, but you want to treat me like this?!" Xiao Xubai suppressed her great anger and said in a low voice, through her childhood and the current bad memories, they are all indelible shadows for her life.

Xiao Minsheng trembled slightly as if he had been greatly shaken, and quickly relaxed, and he was old for a moment.

"Because I know Xiaorou's mother in the front, and your mother in the back, I have already talked about marriage with Xiaorou's mother, it was your mother who intervened, and used the relationship to marry me, I had to marry her under pressure, if who is the mistress, your mother is the real mistress!" Thinking of the past, Xiao Minsheng also became excited, and his face flushed sickly, which was a precursor to the imminent onset of heart disease.

Xiao Xubai sneered, couldn't suppress his anger anymore and roared, "But she has been with you for most of her life, and she has children for you, don't you have a trace of pity?!" ”

"Pity is not the same as love, I think you know this better than I do, do you think your mother loves me very much? If she loved me, she wouldn't have cheated after marriage! ”

Xiao Xubai trembled with anger, "Why do you use your standards to measure others, you don't love her, why do you want people to love you, don't you feel selfish!" ”

She looked at Xiao Minsheng's cloudy eyes with a hint of disgust firmly locked on her, and suddenly found that his pupils were pitch black, bottomless, and her heart was cold.

As if there was a reasonable explanation for the long-term unfair treatment, Xiao Xubai's body trembled slightly, a little incredulous.

"Your brother is my biological son, yes, as for your ......" The smile on the corner of Xiao Minsheng's lips also had a hint of coldness, "I have been serving you for so many years for nothing, letting you go to the last school, and letting you take over the company to enjoy the glory and wealth, should you repay these kindnesses?" ”

Xiao Xubai's clenched fingertips turned white, and her eyes slowly turned red and forced back, she stood up and said word by word: "The first time I called your father, and it was the last time, Fang Rou I would let her go, but she also had to pay a little price for what she had done."

When Xiao Xubai dragged her heavy steps back to the hospital, Yun Jin, a person she didn't expect, was also there, she suddenly became nervous, and rushed over with three steps and two steps to push open the door of the ward.

The two of them looked back at her at the same time, a smile hung on Yun Jin's lips, and Gu Nanfeng pursed the corners of his lower lips slightly.

"What are you doing here?" The nervousness of protecting the calf made Yun Jin a little unbearable, and took the initiative to get up from the side of the bed to make room for her.

"I wanted to come and see you, but I stopped by to see your ...... when you weren't there"

Xiao Xubai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone increased, "So you're talking very speculatively?" ”

"No" Yun Jin waved his hand again and again, glanced at Gu Nanfeng, patted her shoulder lightly, and turned to leave.

"I finally know why you don't like others anymore, she's a good woman, you were a bastard in the past"

Xiao Xubai sneered, "You still need to say this, I will cherish her"

After Yun Jin left, the ward fell silent again, and when the two of them were alone, Gu Nanfeng was inevitably embarrassed, closed his eyes slightly, buried his head in the soft pillow and pretended to fall asleep.

There was a sound of rustling beside the bed, Xiao Xubai didn't bother her, she sat quietly on the chair and read a book, the twilight sprinkled on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, blending in a soft arc, and the whole person became gentle and amiable.

She looked particularly haggard today, slightly bent over as if she was a little overwhelmed, the wounds on her face were not yet clear, the corners of her lips were still purple, but her eyes were extremely red, like traces of crying.

"You...... Ever cried? ”

Xiao Xubai found that the book in his hand was taken down, and he hurriedly changed it back, and rubbed the corners of his eyes under the pretense of raising his hand, "No"

Gu Nanfeng sensitively sensed that something was wrong, although her expression was as calm as ever, she found a trace of sadness buried deep in it.

In her gentle gaze, Xiao Xubai was defeated, she always said nothing but let people disarm and surrender, but this kind of thing made her speak, in fact, she was an illegitimate child, with dirty blood flowing on her body, and she thought she was self-righteous for so many years.

Xiao Xubai's fingertips on the book gradually turned white, and when he opened his mouth, he was choked up, "South wind...... I want to have a home......."

Although she was not close to Xiao Minsheng in the past, she was her nominal father and the last trace of attachment to her family, but now all her illusions have been shattered, and the strength she has held out for a day has collapsed in front of her.

In her intermittent narration, Gu Nanfeng finally figured out the ins and outs, she is different from herself, she was born with a golden key, and she was born with a family fortune, but she didn't get a trace of her parents' love, her childhood memories only have never-ending exercises and endless cram schools, although her family is cold, her parents don't care about her, but there is still care and love from her grandparents, so she knows how to love, and Xiao Xubai seems to be playing the world, reading countless people, In fact, I don't know what it means to love someone well.

The fine pain gradually spread from the bottom of her heart to the limbs, Gu Nanfeng stretched out her hand from the quilt and slowly groped towards her, and was firmly held in mid-air, the temperature on her body made her linger, this feeling of concern has not appeared for many years, Xiao Xubai put her hand on her cheek, and a faint sense of appropriateness welled up in her heart, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
