Chapter 155 Repentance
When Guo Haodong heard Chen Lanlan's almost crazy tone, his heart couldn't help but tremble - should he hurt Lanlan?
He hurriedly explained: "Lan Lan, don't worry, you completely misunderstood what I meant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info I'm not hoping that she will forgive me, but when she understands the truth of everything, she will offer to break up with me... No, as long as her dad exists, she and I can get along, but she will completely die for me. β
"Hahaha..." Chen Lanlan suddenly burst into laughter, "Will she be dead to you?" After all, you saved her life. β
Guo Haodong's heart moved: "Lan Lan, think about it, if you were Nan Nan, would you forgive me for teasing you?" β
Chen Lanlan hesitated for a moment, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Will you tell her all the truth?" β
Guo Haodong immediately affirmed: "Lan Lan, please rest assured, I will definitely do it." When she comes back from the earthquake, I will tell her the story of you and let her down in me. Of course, I will euphemistically express my helplessness, hoping to gain her understanding on the basis of not hurting her. β
When Guo Haodong said this, he secretly felt a trace of luck in his heart - after all, Nan Nan also had a past with other men. She might forgive herself.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lanlan didn't give up: "Haodong, after talking for a long time, I still hope to get back together with her." β
Guo Haodong smiled bitterly: "Don't get me wrong. I think Nan Nan is also a proud girl, and it is impossible to tolerate me having an affair with you. Nine times out of ten, she's going to be disappointed in me. β
Chen Lanlan's eyes blinked on the other end of the phone: "What if she forgives you and gives you a chance to love her again?" β
"This..." Guo Haodong couldn't answer. Maybe that's what he thinks in his heart.
Chen Lanlan seemed to see through him, and sneered: "Haodong, it seems that you do still have a trace of illusions about her. I'm so disappointed in you, I won't tell you more, please do it yourself! β
"Hey, hey, hey?" As soon as Guo Haodong heard the other party's voice, he stopped abruptly, and called several times into the microphone.
When he was sure that Chen Lanlan had hung up the phone, he slowly put down the arm that held the phone.
He didn't feel uneasy because Chen Lanlan hung up the phone angrily, on the contrary, he actually felt a sense of relief. He felt that the time had come for him to make a decision. No, maybe it's difficult for me to make a choice between Lan Lan and Nan Nan, so I'd better leave all the choices to Nan Nan. If she can't forgive herself, she offers to cut off her relationship, so it won't hurt her too much. But if she forgives herself, then she will have a good talk with Lan Lan again, and try to persuade her to return her heart to Li Shunxi.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a gloomy look. He was already unwillingly shouting 'like' about his plan, but instead helpless. I feel like I've lost myself. Alas, since you can't choose your destiny, let fate choose yourself.
The night was late again, and his heart was still fluctuating. Continue to stay on the balcony, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, sometimes looking up at the stars in the night sky outside, and sometimes overlooking the illuminated night view below. His eyes couldn't help but be confused, as if the sparks between heaven and earth were almost connected, and his own destiny was also integrated into it.
Disturbed, he was looking forward to Yang Nannan's message at this time. He felt that Nan Nan would leave a message for himself before going to bed like he had done a few nights ago. What will she share with herself tonight?
Time passed minute by minute.
But the phone he held in his hand was as silent as a piece of waste. He had to get up several times to look at his phone screen, and it felt like the phone was normal, and every time he saw it was a quick update time.
Soon it was midnight, and Yang Nannan's message never appeared. His expression couldn't help but show a hint of melancholy, I don't know where the problem is?
He couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made up his mind to call Nan Nan in person-
"I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later!" The chime immediately rang from his phone.
He sighed heavilyβit turned out that Nan Nan had turned off the phone!
Why is she shutting down? Could it be that she was so busy with work that she forgot to charge her phone? Alas, after all, it is a disaster area, can there be a suitable power source for charging? Maybe Nan Nan can't charge it anymore after she runs out of the battery of her mobile phone in the past few days.
When he guessed this, he inevitably felt disappointed in his heart, feeling that if he couldn't receive Nan Nan's information every day, it would be as if he was missing something in his life.
He finally reluctantly walked his legs to the bedroom, and then the tall figure disappeared onto the balcony.
The next day, when he came to the company, he found that Gui Ling had not come to work.
He was very surprised, Li Shunxi didn't come to work, which was understandable, but why didn't Gui Ling come? That girl's body hasn't rested yet, okay?
He immediately called Gui Ling-
"Hey, hello Mr. Guo." Gui Ling's sweet voice soon came from his mobile phone.
Guo Haodong felt that this girl's voice was very abundant, not like a sick look, and couldn't help but wonder: "Gui Ling, how is your body?" β
"I'm fine, thank you Mr. Guo for your concern."
When Guo Haodong heard her brisk answer, he couldn't help frowning: "Since your body is fine, why don't you come to work in the company?" β
Gui Ling hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry Mr. Guo, I still have to take a few days off." Because Uncle Chen has not been discharged from the hospital. Shunxi's hospital is too busy at both ends. I had to give him a hand. β
Guo Haodong's face sank: "Who are you, why do you help him like this?" Aren't you afraid of your colleagues gossiping about you? β
Gui Ling's surprised voice: "Mr. Guo, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you want me to help Shun Hee take care of that home? β
Guo Haodong smiled bitterly: "I just arranged for you to get closer to him, but I didn't want you to invest too much in him. If something happens to the Chen family, he Li Shunxi can take as many days off as he wants. But I can't put you in there. Come back to work. Li Shunxi has taken care of the Chen family for many years and is fully capable of coping with everything. β
Gui Ling hurriedly explained: "But now Uncle Chen is still in the hospital." He was already tired enough to guard in the hospital day and night, did he still have the energy to go home and take care of Aunt Chen? You can help me take two more days off. I was able to bring food to Shunxi and Uncle Chen every day, so that they could eat something delicious, which would not only help Uncle Chen recover, but also help Shunxi's physical health. He was so tired from staying in the hospital. β
Guo Haodong's expression showed a hint of entanglement again, and reminded in a cold tone: "Gui Ling, don't be too stupid. The Chen family is not Lee Soon-hee's biological parents, but his girlfriend's parents! β
Gui Ling disagreed: "What does it matter? It is precisely because he takes care of his lover's parents as if they were his own biological parents that it is touching. I also helped him under this inspiration. Please rest assured, after two days Uncle Chen is discharged from the hospital, I promise to report back to the company. β
Guo Haodong wanted to reproach her for a few words, but he closed his mouth again, and finally hung up the phone helplessly.
He sat down in his big swivel chair, thought for a long time, and finally got up, and walked outβ
He's going to the hospital. After all, the old man who was hospitalized was Chen Lanlan's father. I should take care of it myself. In addition, he is going to take the opportunity to communicate with Li Shunxi.
When he bought some fruit and appeared in Chen Jingyuan's hospital room, he found that Li Shunxi was scrubbing the old man's body, and his brows suddenly became pimples.
"Mr. Guo, are you here?" Li Shunxi turned around to say hello.
Guo Haodong's expression returned to normal, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Oh, I'll come over to see Uncle Chen." β
Li Shunxi hurriedly stopped and reminded Chen Jingyuan: "Uncle Chen, look, Mr. Guo has come to visit you in person." β
Chen Jingyuan's eyes greedily glanced at the plastic bag in Guo Haodong's hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Oh, you're here." β
Guo Haodong took two steps forward, first put the fruit bag in his hand on the bedside table, and then pretended to be concerned: "How is my uncle's body?" β
Chen Jingyuan showed a wry smile: "I feel much better, I was going to be discharged from the hospital." But the doctor insisted on observing for two more days. Every day, I was taking blood and taking feces and urine for testing, and I don't know what the hell was going on. β
Guo Haodong explained with a smile: "That was proposed by our company and the hospital. After all, you have mistakenly taken a large number of our company's clinical experimental drugs, which caused such a situation. Therefore, we must do an assessment of all the vital indicators of your body. This is also a rare clinical practice opportunity for our company. β
Unexpectedly, when Chen Jingyuan heard this, his triangular eyes suddenly rolled: "Then your company should be responsible for my hospitalization expenses this time, right?" β
Guo Haodong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Li Shunxi like him, and said with some sarcasm: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this." Our company will consider it at its discretion. β
"Good to consider what? I almost lost my life after taking the medicine you gave me. You must compensate me. Chen Jingyuan said a little angrily.
Seeing this, Li Shunxi hurriedly played a round: "Uncle Chen, don't worry. I will discuss your medical expenses with the company. But don't worry. They won't ask you for a penny for medical bills. β
"Well, that's pretty much it." Chen Jingyuan calmed down contentedly.
Guo Haodong can usually be said to be a man with a very high level of self-cultivation, but he really doesn't like Chen Jingyuan, if he is allowed to get along with an old man like Chen Jingyuan all day, I am afraid that he will feel like his nerves will collapse.
He didn't want to stay in the ward for a moment, so he took the opportunity to preach to Li Shunxi: "Since Xiao Li said so, let's go out and talk about the compensation to my uncle, right?" β
Li Shunxi saw that Guo Haodong was looking for him, so after settling Chen Jingyuan, he followed Guo Haodong out of the ward.
"Mr. Guo, I hope you have a lot, don't be like Uncle Chen." Li Shunxi said this to Guo Haodong when he was leading him outside the hospital.
When Guo Haodong heard that others comforted him like this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, the old man who made him look down on him was once recognized by himself as 'Old Taishan', and he was not sure how he would develop in the future. Now, I need 'others' to comfort me.
He smiled tolerantly: "Xiao Li, don't be angry, how can I be angry with him?" He's a confused old man after all. β
Li Shunxi nodded: "It's good if you don't mind." But don't worry. Uncle Chen's medical expenses will be borne by me personally, and I will not ask the company for any compensation. Of course, all this should be hidden from Uncle Chen. β
Guo Haodong listened to his words, and his heart couldn't help but be hot: "Xiao Li, you are really well-intentioned." β
Li Shunxi smiled: "For the sake of the old man, I should do everything." β
Guo Haodong thought for a while, and finally asked tentatively: "Have you told Lan Lan about the hospitalization?" β
Li Shunxi nodded: "I said it." But in order not to make her anxious, I said that her father's condition is not serious and he will be discharged from the hospital soon. β
Guo Haodong's eyes blinked a few times, and then reminded: "You have to take the initiative to call Lan Lan often and communicate with her more." She is a girl studying in a foreign university without any compatriots, which will cause a lot of loneliness and helplessness. Of course, every detail you pay for the Chen family must be reported to her, so that she can always maintain a grateful heart for you. β
Li Shunxi looked at Guo Haodong in amazement, feeling that the other party's words were a little abnormal, so he said in surprise: "You asked me to ask her for credit often?" Why am I doing this? β
Guo Haodong stared at Li Shunxi deeply, and then sighed: "Xiao Li, you should let your lover share your hard work with you, even if it is spiritual." Otherwise, the other party will not appreciate your hard work and will even ignore something. Only when you often resonate with her heart can you keep each other's hearts close together, and interpret a love that shares weal and woe and lasts for a long time. β
Li Shunxi looked at Guo Haodong in amazement, and was surprised by the other party's words.
Guo Haodong's face was a little feverish, and he had to look away. Even he didn't know why he was telling Li Shunxi these words? This is diametrically opposed to his previous design to divert Li Shunxi's feelings from Chen Lanlan.
Li Shunxi finally broke the silence: "Thank you Mr. Guo for your concern." I'm used to it all, and I don't feel hard at all. Now that I've moved to the city, it's much easier, and now I still have Gui Ling to help me a lot. β
As soon as Guo Haodong heard him mention Gui Ling, he immediately looked a little serious and said: "Xiao Li, Gui Ling is a good girl, but she is also a simple girl. She's emotionally persistent, and if you can't give her anything in return, it's best to keep your distance from her. β
Guo Haodong's words surprised Li Shunxi again. He was secretly surprised in his heartβdidn't he arrange for Gui Ling to approach me in the first place? Now how can the idea come to a 180-degree turn?
It was inconvenient for him to say this, so he could only say euphemistically: "When I went back to the Chen family's hometown, you arranged for Gui Ling to take care of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, and I was embarrassed to trouble her. Actually, I already talked to Gui Ling yesterday. But she still wants to be an ordinary colleague to help me take care of their second elder. There's really nothing I can do with her. β
Guo Haodong snorted: "I hope she just sympathizes with you, and doesn't put her feelings into it." β
Li Shunxi looked at him and was stunned again.
As soon as Guo Haodong saw the other party's stunned expression, he knew that his words were a little too abnormal, so he had to remind the other party again: "I regret letting her help you, because I am worried that she will be emotionally hurt." She is my daughter-in-law's best friend, and if she gets hurt again, even my daughter-in-law will not spare me. So, you'd better stay cold enough with her to let her retreat. Now, you'd better persuade her to go to work immediately. β
Li Shunxi recalled his conversation with Gui Ling last night, and couldn't help but fall into confusion.
Guo Haodong left the hospital, and when he drove back to the company, he quickly reviewed the conversation with Li Shunxi just now, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he did everything possible to arrange for Gui Ling and Li Shunxi to get along, but now that the two of them are really close, he is worried, and it is not easy to get Gui Ling away from Li Shunxi. Alas, it's really easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. He couldn't help but punch himself in the head with his fist - he completely repented!
At the end of a busy day, he dragged back home with a listless expression. The desertion of his home made him feel suffocated. At this time, he realized what people often say - if there is no love, the empty house is not a home, only a house full of love is a home!
He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone at this time, wanting to talk to Yang Nannan on the phone before Chen Lanlan didn't 'annoy' himself. After all, the absence of her message last night made him suddenly a lot empty. Thinking of this, he decisively dialed Yang Nannan's phone-
However, the same voice content came from his mobile phone in the middle of the night.
He put down his phone in a daze and walked out to the balcony again. At this time, he was sure that Nan Nan's mobile phone must be out of battery and could not be charged. She may have held back a lot of things in her heart to state to herself. However, if I met her, did I really think about how to confess to her?
Chen Lanlan didn't call again. Guo Haodong felt very strange, thought about it for a while, and recalled that he didn't speculate with her last night, Lan Lan must be angry with herself. Maybe she's waiting for her to call.
He picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table with some reluctance, and was just about to dial Chen Lanlan's mobile phone, when his mind suddenly moved, and he suddenly changed his mind. It turned out that he wanted to have a cold deal with Chen Lanlan's relationship. If she is disappointed in herself and has no confidence, maybe it will be a relief for herself.
Before he put down the phone, he suddenly pressed the button to turn off, and he also calculated in his heart that if Chen Lanlan asked himself about his teacher in the future, then he would find a reason for Nan Nan to turn off the phone, under the pretext that he was working overtime and the phone was turned off when the phone was out of power. In fact, he was also worried that when he was sleeping, Chen Lanlan couldn't help but call over.
The night was spent peacefully.
When Guo Haodong got up the next day, he first pushed open the bedroom window and breathed in the fresh morning air.
When he looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock. After he washed up, he suddenly remembered that he had turned off the phone last night, so he walked to the living room, picked up the phone from the coffee table, thought about it, and pressed the button to turn it on-
Di Di Di...
Just as he was packing himself up and preparing to go out for breakfast, the cell phone in his pocket rang rapidly.
He immediately stopped, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his mother calling.
His heart moved, he never contacted his mother again, and he didn't know if he would return to the disaster area. I happened to ask her about Nan Nan's situation.
Unexpectedly, when he just answered the phone, Li Suqin's hurried voice came out of the mobile phone: "Haodong, why did you turn off the phone just now?" β
Guo Haodong hurriedly explained: "I was a little tired last night, and I was afraid of being disturbed. You are in a hurry to call me, is there anything urgent? β
Li Suqin's voice was even more urgent: "Alas, you only feel that you are tired, have you considered whether Nan Nan has been tired recently?" She's already in trouble! β
