Qiao Zizi nodded, did as Ning Yanji said, and asked the teacher for leave, saying that she was very sick and the doctor let her be hospitalized, so the teacher relented and agreed that she took a week's leave.

"The teacher asked me for a hospital certificate, you should be able to get it, right?" She closed the line and asked Ning Yanji with some worry, what about the one-week course, if the teacher is unhappy, what about the scholarship selection at the end of the semester!

"Yes." Ning Yanji nodded, and behind his ears were the voices of those reporters asking him.

The questions asked by the reporters are nothing more than Ning Yanji's spending the night at a single woman's house, whether it is good to make it close, and what is the origin of the woman.

Qiao Zizi rubbed her palms and walked around the house, occasionally going to the window to see the situation downstairs through the gap in the curtains.

The apartment she lives in is on the third floor, the stairs are narrow, and the reporter can't stand down, so there are naturally many downstairs.

Two black cars drove in, Shu Guanbo opened the door from the front one, and his colleague got out of the car behind.

"The assistant is here." Qiao Zizi told Ning Yanji, who was leaning against the entrance and smoking.

As if she hadn't heard it, Ning Yanji continued to smoke, constantly puffing out the smoke.

Shu Guanbo was very good at dealing with these reporters, and it didn't take long for the reporters to be sent away, and even the drafts they wrote and planned to send out were intercepted.

After the scene was handled, Shu Guanbo knocked on the door and entered the house, and reported to Ning Yanji.

Then, he said: "It has been investigated, and it was Luo Shishi who sold the news to the newspaper." What now? Her parents had gone to the middle of nowhere. ”

"She works for a magazine?" Ning Yanji was not very sure about Luo Shishi's profession, he had heard Lu Wanyi say it before, but he didn't have the heart to remember this kind of unimportant A, B, C, D.

"Hmm. A travel magazine, but in the past two years, it has also begun to open other sections, gossip entertainment or something is also doing. Shu Guanbo replied in detail.

"Magazine-" Ning Yanji frowned, he didn't want to involve the media, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision, "It's better to ruin it." ”

"Understood." Shu Guanbo nodded, a magazine is not a very big one, and it is easy for him to destroy this.

Ning Yanji rubbed her eyebrows, and her eyes moved to look for her, "Be careful yourself." ”

Qiao Zizi nodded and sighed secretly, Ning Yanji is handsome, and her family is rich, so it is strange that she does not attract envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Ah Guan, find a new apartment for Zizi, a safe and quiet place." Ning Yanji knew that this apartment was uninhabitable now, it was too dangerous, those reporters left today, who knows if they would come tomorrow, anyway, there are always people who are not afraid of death, so he must take precautions.

Shu Guanbo nodded and did as Ning Yanji said.

That night, Qiao Zizi arrived at the new apartment, and the things in the previous apartment were all moved by Shu Guanbo to someone, and she didn't do anything.

"This is a hospital certificate. There's everything on it, and the school shouldn't suspect it. If you have health insurance or something, you can also get a grant. Shu Guanbo took the hospital certificate and gave it to Qiao Zizi.

"Hmm. Thank you. Qiao Zizi hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then my scholarship is to calculate the attendance rate......

"Don't worry, the young master will get it for you. You follow the young master, you don't have to worry about anything. Shu Guanbo relieved Qiao Zizi, and told her, "Don't go out these days, if you have food, just call, someone will get it for you." ”

Qiao Zizi nodded, feeling like a star, and she didn't dare to go out in order to avoid reporters.

"Then I'm leaving." Qiao Zizi was alone in the house, and Shu Guanbo was embarrassed to stay too long, after all, it was already late at night. "By the way, the young master said that he won't be here recently. He didn't call you, and you didn't have to go to him. He went to the door, but forgot to say this, and came back to finish speaking, and then left.

The reporter's matter came to an end for the time being, the magazine where Luo Shishi worked was ruined, and she had nowhere to go, because as long as she went to the company she applied for, people had all kinds of reasons to reject her.

Luo Shishi was desperate and could only come to Lu Wanyi.

Lu Wanyi somewhat guessed that this matter was related to her son, but she remembered that she did use Luo Shishi some time ago, so she agreed to come out to meet the other party.

"Auntie, I did everything you asked me to do, but what you promised me was not fulfilled." In the tea house, Luo Shishi said to Lu Wanyi coldly.

"You take this." Lu Wanyi did not comment on Luo Shishi's remarks, took out an envelope from her bag and pushed it in front of Luo Shishi, "Don't pester my son in the future, we don't owe you anything." ”

Luo Shishi opened the envelope and suddenly smiled, first mocking, then sneering.

"Auntie, because of your Ning family, my parents are now in the countryside, and they are still living separately, my job is ruined, and there is no place to take me in." She looked at Lu Wanyi disheartenedly, the money in the envelope was so little, she didn't have to count it to know how much. Originally, she thought that according to the Ning family's family background, what should be given to her with a generous hand was a check, with at least six or seven zeros on it, but now?

"You poisoned my son and our family's special help, if you pursue responsibility, not only will you not get a share of the money, but you will also have to compensate us a lot of money. Poetry-" Lu Wanyi smiled at Luo Shishi, her eyebrows were kind, and the words she said were indeed very weighty, "You can figure out what is best for you." You don't need to be reminded. Whether the money is yours or not, things will always be resolved in the end, but in a different way. I don't want to be wicked, and you don't want to suffer, do you? ”

Luo Shishi's face changed, and the hand holding the envelope was deformed, and the envelope was even more deformed.

"Don't do anything stupid in the future. Think of something realistic. Lu Wanyi said a few words to Luo Shishi earnestly, stood up and left.

She herself is not a ruthless person, otherwise she would not have been when Tong Xiaoxin was by Ning Yanji's side, no matter how much she hated it, no matter how much she didn't like it, she didn't do anything to others.

She is a little different from Master Gu, Master Gu has many methods, and each of them can be very ruthless, but she can't. She intimidated Luo Shishi and played the role of a person who turned her face and didn't recognize people, so she was a little reluctant in her heart, but as a female head of a big family, she had to do a lot of things as a last resort, so she used money to solve problems that could be solved.

Because money is the most direct, fastest and easiest way to solve problems, no one doesn't like money.

Just like Luo Shishi, she is so contemptuous of Lu Wanyi on her face, she still accepts other people's money, and she dislikes the little people give. But she had no way to ask for more, so she could only be indignant at what happened to her, and resentful and abusing the Ning family.

But even if she resents and abuses, she can't get anyone's sympathy.

Ning Yanji never thought of being soft-hearted to Luo Shishi, this woman offended him again and again, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't need to bear it anymore.

Because of the reporter incident caused by Luo Shishi, Ning Yanji didn't see Qiao Zizi for a long time, she threw herself on work every day, went out early and returned late every day, went home to sleep if she was happy, went to the new villa for a spin if she was unhappy, and slept directly in the office when she was unhappy.

Today he was very unhappy, it rained a little at noon, the ground was wet, the weather was slightly cool, he went downstairs to eat, found someone to drink two drinks, and then planned to come back to the office to sleep.

A bunch of people downstairs, among them was Vivien.

Vivien saw Ning Yanji passing by, and greeted him with a smile, "You just got off work too?" ”

Ning Yanji nodded, seeing that the people surrounding Vivian should be workers from the construction team, she couldn't help but ask more: "Shouldn't the workers get paid at the foreman, why did they come to you?" ”

"That's right." Vivien was anxious, and things were at a loss, "These workers did the work together when the boss was still there, but now that their foreman has run away, they come to the boss to ask for money." The boss isn't there, and I can't stop them, they're here to make trouble. ”

As soon as Vivien's words fell, one of the workers stood up, pointed to her nose and said, "Why is your boss not here?" It must have been that we didn't pay our foreman and hid! ”

"That is, even if the child falls, this hospitalization should be well a long time ago, right? It has not yet appeared, and it must have colluded with the foreman to blackmail our wages. Someone chimed in.

Vivien frowned, "You don't want to talk about it, it's also very sad that the boss had an accident." ”

"It's sad, but it's not us who scares her!" The man who pointed at Vivian's nose at the beginning stood up and spoke again, rolling his eyes at her, "She went up the herringbone ladder by herself, and she was scared when she answered the phone by herself, and she fell down with a bang, if it wasn't for our help at the time, where could she have been sent to the hospital so quickly!" You people have no conscience! ”

Ning Yanji, who had been quiet and silent, suddenly changed her face, squeezed into the crowd, and stared at the man who had just spoken, "Don't say how Xiaoxin fell?" ”

"Answer the phone!" The man said bluntly that he didn't know what happened to Tong Xiaoxin, but he insisted that they didn't get paid and had something to do with Tong Xiaoxin, so he didn't sympathize with her at all.

Ning Yanji turned to look at Vivian, "Who called Xiaoxin at that time?" ”

Vivian was stunned by the question, she had never paid attention to this question, she was so scared that she only cared about sending Tong Xiaoxin to the hospital, and then she went through the hospitalization procedures or something, where would she pay attention to these small details.

"I don't know. However, you can check the call history. I probably remember that time period, it was December 19th......"

"You come with me!" Ning Yanji didn't wait for Vivien to finish speaking, and asked her to go with him.

When the workers heard this, they hurriedly surrounded Vivien.

Ning Yanji called out to the security guards to deal with the workers, and he took Vivien with him.

Everyone worked together, and soon found out that the person who called Tong Xiaoxin was Lu Wanyi.

Ning Yanji didn't care about others anymore, rushed out directly, and drove home.

"Mom." He entered the door and found Lu Wanyi, and asked straight to the point, "What did you call her on the day Xiaoxin fell and miscarried?" ”

"I said she should be pregnant, tell her not to work, and follow me to the hospital." Lu Wanyi told the truth, anyway, these words were not meant to harm Tong Xiaoxin, so she was not afraid to let her son know. After finishing speaking, she became alert again and stared at her son, "Xiu Ji, why did you ask Tong Xiaoxin again?" Is she back? ”

Ning Yanji didn't answer and asked: "You called, there was no foreshadowing, so you directly told Sù Xiaoxin that she was pregnant?" ”

"That's right. I watched her for a long time, and I thought she was almost pregnant, and you didn't react, so I thought about taking her for a check-up, and if she was really pregnant, I didn't plan to let her go to work, and I would take care of her when I came home. ”

"Ahh Ning Yanji shook his fist at the air, roared lowly, gritted his teeth, couldn't get out of his anger, and could only hold his breath forbearantly, "Mom, do you know that if it weren't for your phone call, Xiaoxin wouldn't have fallen off the herringbone ladder and wouldn't have lost her child." ”

"But she didn't say I was scared." Lu Wanyi felt that things were a little big, and she couldn't help but feel very complicated in her heart.

She didn't say it. How could she say. Ning Yanji leaned against the wall and exhaled with a deep breath, "She's afraid that you'll feel guilty, she's worried that I'll accuse you, and she doesn't want me to carry too many things on you." However, we are all sorry for her, we still carry too many things on us, and the guilt alone can crush us. ”

"That ......" Lu Wanyi didn't know what to say, her son's current appearance, she was also very distressed when she looked at it. And what her son said was also reasonable, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"When you gave Xiaoxin money, did you think about her feelings? She took your money, and rightfully so, you hurt her body and lost her child. You're sorry for her. Ning Yanji's face was full of pain, perhaps because she endured it too much, so her face was pale, and her eyes were red, "I'm sorry for her too." I ruined her life. ”

Lu Wanyi frowned, sighed, and looked at her son with pity, "Xiu Ji, Xiaoxin, she didn't take my money." She didn't take a penny. ”

"Then why are you lying to me?!" Ning Yanji couldn't hold back anymore and roared angrily.

At first, when he asked Tong Xiaoxin at the airport if she had taken the money, her silence made him hesitate, but he still chose to believe that she did not take Lu Wanyi's money, because she was not that kind of person. Her silence only gave him the motivation to make up his mind to forget her.

Later, Lu Wanyi said that Tong Xiaoxin took the money, and he realized that her silence contained so many layers of meaning - she actually took the money to force him to be disgusted with her and let her go.

He stupidly believed that she really took the money, so he blamed her, and complained about her more than once.

"I just want you to be completely separated from her." Lu Wanyi swallowed her saliva, in front of her, her son's appearance was too scary.

"Now it's what you want." Ning Yanji coldly forgot about Lu Wanyi, dragged her tired legs, and walked out slowly, and the originally straight back was also made upright.

Lu Wanyi was stunned for two seconds, then pulled her legs to follow, so as to persuade her son: "Xiu Ji, since Xiaoxin is gone, it is impossible for you, you have Zizi now, just have a good relationship with Zizi, forget Xiaoxin." ”

Ning Yanji suddenly stood still, glanced at Lu Wanyi coldly, didn't say anything, turned her head and continued to walk.

"Xiu Ji. Xiu Ji, you listen to your mother...... Alas, Xiu Ji! Lu Wanyi chased out, only to see Ning Yanji's car rushing out of the villa like flying, and she was so frightened that she shouted, "You drive slowly, it's dangerous, it's dangerous!" ”

Ning Yanji could hear her words wherever she could, just focusing on one foot of the accelerator to the end, driving as fast as she could.

Lu Wanyi was frightened, afraid that something would happen to her son, so she hurriedly called Ning Rongwei, and sent someone to follow Ning Yanji.

Ning Yanji was not a fool, after driving for a while, he slowed down, stopped on the side of the road, squatted under a tree, took out a cigarette and smoked it.

I don't know how long it took, the cigarette butts in front of him were piled up into a small hill, and the cigarette boxes were empty for several pieces, and he couldn't find any more cigarettes, so he slowly stood up, his eyes were red, and his chin was surrounded by cyan stubble.

He raised his head, and not far away were Ning Rongwei and Qiao Zizi, who came over at some point, both of them looking at him with worried eyes.

"Let's go back. It's dawn at night. Ning Rongwei didn't say anything, just took care of his son's body.

Qiao Zizi went to the car and took Ning Yanji's coat out and handed it to him, "Put it on." It's starting to rain again. ”

Ning Yanji was silent, looked at Qiao Zizi for a while, her brows furrowed, and her eyes and nose were sour, making him want to cry.

"Let's go. I'll send you to rest. Qiao Zizi opened the car door and waited for Ning Yanji to get in the car, "Uncle booked a room for you at the hotel." ”

Ning Yanji clenched his fists, and before getting into the car, he asked Ning Rongwei for a cigarette, "Dad, give me a cigarette." ”

Ning Rongwei gave his son the remaining half pack of cigarettes, "It's just a few, don't smoke again after smoking, it's better to go back and drink some wine." ”

Ning Yanji nodded, raised his hand to rub his nose, lit the cigarette, and waved the smoke again, feeling that the choking and spicy mist was so smoky that his eyes hurt and he was about to cry.

Qiao Zizi sent Ning Yanji to the hotel to stay.

At night, Lu Wanyi had to call Qiao Zizi every once in a while, constantly making sure that her son was okay, and she was not a little relieved until dawn.

Ning Yanji came out of the hotel, called Gu Dongning, and asked Bai Yiru when he was sketching in H City.

Gu Dongning said that it was originally going to be a few days, but now he can't go.

"Why can't you go?" Ning Yanji asked again.

"There's something to do in the gallery. What's wrong? Gu Dongning was curious about the purpose of Ning Yanji's call.

"It's fine. I'll just ask. Hang up, I'm going to work. Ning Yanji hung up the phone, glanced back at Qiao Zizi, and was about to say that she would send the other party to school, but heard her say that she wanted to go by herself.

"I'll just take a taxi. Lynn, you go to work. In the evening, I prepare dinner and wait for you. After Qiao Zizi finished speaking very considerately, she waved her hand to Ning Yanji, and stopped the taxi and left first.

Ning Yanji went to the parking space to find her car, and drove to the company absent-mindedly and slowly, she was already late for a long time.
