Chapter Eighty-Five: Slap in the Face
Gu Shi'an went to the hospital early, and on the way to the hospital, he called Xiao Wang and asked her to ask for leave for her, she couldn't go to the company for the time being.
Xiao Wang was worried, Luo Yun was originally targeting her, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to ask for leave at this time.
Gu Shi'an was a little tired, so she said whatever she wanted.
After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her eyebrows and called Assistant Cao. said that she had something to ask for leave, and she might not be able to keep an eye on the project over there for the time being.
Assistant Cao was taken aback, but quickly calmed down. She can't be the master of this. said that he would ask Xu Wei first to see how to deal with it.
Gu Shi'an pulled out a smile and said something to trouble her, and said a few polite words, and then hung up the phone.
When she arrived at the hospital, Chen Xiao and Chen Xun were in the corridor, Chen Xiao probably hadn't slept all night, and there was a smell of smoke on his body, and he didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked.
Gu Shi'an stepped forward and looked into the intensive care unit. He asked in a low voice, "Is grandma awake?" ”
Chen Xiao said no. His voice was very hoarse, and he didn't know if he had smoked too much or had a cold.
Gu Shi'an's throat was slightly astringent, and he couldn't find words to comfort him, so he took out the porridge he brought and gave a bowl to Chen Xun.
Chen Xun squeezed out a smile and said thank you, and took the porridge.
When I went to give it to Chen Xiao again, Chen Xiao didn't answer it, so I let it go first. He obviously has no appetite for this.
Gu Shi'an did not take the bowl back. After a pause, he said, "Eat a little, my body can't bear it." ”
Chen Xiao was originally going to smoke, but finally took the porridge. asked Gu Shi'an again if he had eaten it.
Gu Shi'an replied that he had eaten it.
The corridor was quiet for a while, and Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang several times, but he didn't answer.
Later, Luo Ying came to see the old lady, Chen Xiao talked with him for a long time, returned to the corridor, looked at the old lady who was still unconscious, and said, "I'm going to the company, if there's anything here, call me immediately." ”
He didn't go to see Chen Xun, let alone care if he left or not.
Gu Shi'an nodded in response.
Chen Xiao was about to leave, and He Shuqing hurriedly walked out of the elevator with a thermos box. Seeing Chen Xiao, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Are you leaving?" ”
Chen Xiao's face was expressionless, and he bowed slightly.
He Shuqing was a little uncomfortable, and said, "Your father has something to do today, and he won't be able to come over until later." ”
Chen Xiao was noncommittal and walked towards the elevator.
The smile on He Shuqing's face was a little stiff, and then she returned to normal and greeted Gu Shi'an. Ask her if she has eaten.
Gu Shi'an replied that he had already eaten it. He Shuqing said with some embarrassment: "I went to the vegetable market, so I was late." ”
Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said, "I've just arrived." ”
She said that He Shuqing's face softened a lot, and she exchanged a few words with Gu Shi'an, and then sat down on Chen Xun's side.
The mother and son were talking in a low voice, and Chen Xun probably asked Chen Zhengkang why he didn't come.
Probably afraid that Gu Shi'an would hear it, He Shuqing lowered her voice and replied vaguely. Then he whispered something again.
Gu Shi'an didn't listen to the two of them. looked at the old lady in the intensive care unit in silence.
The two talked for five or six minutes before Chen Xun stood up, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first, and I'll come back in the evening." ”
Gu Shi'an smiled and nodded.
He Shuqing was obviously distressed, and told him to be careful on the road, and waited for him to enter the elevator, and then returned to the chair and sat down.
The number of times the two met was only a handful, and Gu Shi'an couldn't find a topic to talk about. However, He Shuqing found some ordinary topics to say a sentence or two.
She is gentle and soft-spoken. doesn't beat around the bush to ask this and that, people can't be annoying.
Xu Wei was about to rush to work, and she suddenly asked for leave. Gu Shi'an originally thought that her side would definitely embarrass her, but he didn't. At noon, Assistant Cao called and said that she was asked to deal with her own affairs first. On the engineering side, their company will let them go there to keep an eye on it, and they will call her to communicate with her if there is something.
She had already prepared for the worst, and she was surprised by Xu Wei's sudden enlightenment. After a long while, she reacted and asked Assistant Cao to thank Xu Wei on her behalf.
The old lady never woke up, Chen Xiao called at noon to ask, and then told Gu Shi'an that he would come back after the meeting in the afternoon.
The old lady was unconscious, and Gu Shi'an originally thought that Chen Zhengkang would come in the afternoon. Who knows no, only she and He Shuqing were in the hospital all day.
Chen Xiao came to the hospital at six o'clock, and he was exhausted. The clothes on my body are still the same as yesterday's, and I obviously didn't go back to change my clothes.
He was a huge smoker, and he stood in front of the intensive care unit and looked at the old lady for a long time, went to smoke a cigarette, and then came back and said to Gu Shi'an: "You go back." ”
Gu Shi'an said no, was silent for a while, and said, "I'll be here, you go back and change your clothes." I've asked Dr. Locke, Grandma...... You may not be able to wake up yet. ”
The topic was undoubtedly heavy, Chen Xiao closed his eyes and did not speak. Didn't move either.
No one spoke for a while, and after such a long time, Gu Shi'an spoke again: "You didn't sleep last night, you go back to rest, I'll just stay here." ”
Chen Xiao still didn't speak. After a while. I asked He Shuqing, who was sitting on the side, to go back and rest.
He was cold to Chen Zhengkang and Chen Xun, but polite to He Shuqing.
The old lady hasn't woken up yet, and it's not a solution for everyone to spend time here. He Shuqing hesitated slightly, and said that she would come over tomorrow morning.
Chen Xiao didn't say anything, nodded and arranged for the driver to send her back.
He Shuqing left quickly, Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and asked, "He didn't come over today?" ”
The person in his mouth naturally refers to Chen Zhengkang.
Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "I didn't come over." She wanted to say that there should be something, but what can be important to the old lady.
The excuse was undoubtedly weak, and she still didn't say it after all.
Chen Xiao's face didn't have any expression, he closed his eyes and sat down and leaned against the wall.
He must have not eaten at this time, Gu Shi'an said in a low voice, "I'll go down and buy something to eat." ”
Chen Xiao didn't open his eyes and didn't speak.
Gu Shi'an stood for a while, and then walked to the elevator. Her heart was depressed, and she opened her eyes to see the glare lights in the elevator.
It was already dark outside, but the hall of the hospital was full of people. Gu Shi'an's mind was at a loss, and when he walked through the hall to the outside, he was blown by the cold wind, and his brain cleared up a little.
She didn't go shopping right away, and she sat down on a stone bench outside the hospital, regardless of the cold weather. After sitting for a long time, she was just about to go buy food when her mobile phone rang.
The call was from Chang Yin, Gu Shi'an looked at it, picked it up, and fed it.
There was some tiredness in her tone, Chang Yan was sensitive, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Shi'an was at a loss, originally wanted to say nothing, but finally said that the old lady was in the hospital.
Because of the death of her parents, she was afraid of death. Don't even dare to think about it. I don't dare to think about it later.
Chang Yan on the other end of the phone fell silent, she also couldn't find comforting words, just said over and over again that it would be fine.
The two didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Gu Shi'an asked, "Where are you now?" ”
"Over in the courtyard. It's getting late today, I'll go see you tomorrow. Chang Yan replied.
Gu Shi'an said that she should be busy with her, paused, and still asked, "Are you at work?" ”
Chang Yan didn't answer immediately this time, and said after a while: "It's already on." You don't have to worry. ”
She never mentioned the matter in the casino, Gu Shi'an originally wanted to ask, but she still didn't open her mouth after all. Just nodded and mumbled.
The two of them didn't talk much, and Chang Yin hung up the phone after a while. Gu Shi'an's heart was inexplicably heavy, put his mobile phone in his pocket, and then went to buy food.
There wasn't much to eat near the hospital, so Gu Shi'an brought two boxes of lunches. I asked for an extra soup.
When they went upstairs, Luo Ying and Chen Xiao were talking in the corridor, and they didn't know what they said, so Gu Shi'an stopped talking when they went over.
Gu Shi'an called Doctor Luo and gave the boxed lunch to Luo Ying, but Luo Ying waved her hand and said that she had already eaten it. Let them eat theirs.
The old lady never woke up, on the third day of her coma. Chen Xiao lightly asked Gu Shi'an to go back to work. Just say that there is Ye Qing guarding it.
Chen Zhengkang and Chen Xun rarely appear these days, but He Shuqing comes over every day with boiled chicken soup and porridge.
The old lady didn't wake up, and it was useless for everyone to stay here. Gu Shi'an nodded and agreed, saying that he would come over in the evening.
Chen Xiao was very tired these days, so he just nodded carelessly.
On this day, Gu Shi'an went to the hospital after work, and just got out of the elevator, he saw Qi Shiyun standing in the corridor. She probably had already made a fuss, her hair was messy, and she didn't look like the usual lady at all. sneered and stared at He Shuqing, who lowered his eyebrows.
Gu Shi'an was stunned when he saw her. She didn't know if Ye Qing had called Chen Xiao, she originally planned to avoid Qi Shiyun to call Chen Xiao, but who knew that before she could avoid it, Qi Shiyun looked over.
She had to step forward, and just as she was about to call her mother, Qi Shiyun slapped her in the face.
Gu Shi'an didn't expect her to make a move, her ears buzzed, and she stayed in place for a while.
Qi Shiyun looked at her coldly and asked, "Now even you have to help this slut bully me, don't you?" Why didn't Grandma tell me when she was sick? When did the Chen family have the position of this slut? ”
She was hysterical, obviously hating He Shuqing.
When she made such a fuss, doctors and family members of patients had already seen her.
Gu Shi'an endured the burning pain on his face and explained, "You misunderstood......"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qi Shiyun, she sneered and said, "What did I misunderstand?" Why didn't anyone notify me when the old lady was sick? ”
She said and pointed at He Shuqing's nose. He scolded again. She completely ignored that the old lady was still in the intensive care unit, Ye Qing stepped forward to dissuade her, but she made even more trouble.
When Luo Ying came over, she was about to pounce and hit He Shuqing, but several medical staff pulled her back. It took Luo Ying a lot of coaxing to get her to take her to his lounge.
Her slap was ruthless, and Gu Shi'an's face was already swollen at this time. Luo Ying arranged for someone to bring an ice pack to apply to her, and then said to He Shuqing: "You go back first." Aunt Qi's mood is unstable, and when I see you later, I will definitely have to make trouble. ”
He Shuqing's eyes were already red, but she nodded in response. Luo Ying asked the little nurse to send her downstairs.
Qi Shiyun's mood was unstable, and Luo Ying took Gu Shi'an to another doctor's lounge and asked her not to go out for the time being. Chen Xiao will come over in a while.
She now thinks that everyone is uniting to deceive her, even if He Shuqing is gone, she will definitely still make trouble.
Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said something troublesome.
Luo Ying was silent for a moment and said, "Don't be polite to me. Aunt Qi's mood is unstable, and she has wronged you. ”
This is the Chen family's family matter, how can he be an outsider to settle down. Gu Shi'an shook his head at this time, squeezed out a smile and said no.
Luo Ying still had to appease Qi Shiyun and took Gu Shi'an to the lounge. Let her not go out for a while and leave in a hurry.
His face was numb from the ice pack, but Gu Shi'an didn't feel any pain at all. I didn't know when Chen Xiao would come, and she didn't call him, just stood quietly in front of the window.
It wasn't until he was tired of standing that he sat down in a chair.
She stayed in the lounge for more than half an hour and didn't see Luo Ying come over again, she originally planned to go over to have a look, but who knew that as soon as she went out, the little nurse outside stopped her, saying that Luo Ying ordered her. Let her not go over yet. When Qi Shiyun is appeased, he will come over and call her.
Gu Shi'an hesitated slightly, but returned to the lounge.
Luo Ying didn't come over for a long time, and it was past nine o'clock. Gu Shi'an was about to go over to take a look, when the door was pushed open.
She originally thought it was Luo Ying coming, and stood up suddenly. The person who came over was not Luo Ying, but Chen Xiao.
Although she had already applied an ice pack, the slap marks on her face were still shocking.
Chen Xiao looked at her and stood at the door for a long time. Only then did he whisper, "I'm sorry." ”
Gu Shi'an shook his head, hesitated, and just wanted to ask Qi Shiyun. Chen Xiao said lightly: "Don't worry about her." ”
There was some tiredness between his eyebrows, and he paused slightly, and said, "There is Aunt Ye guarding here, and I will send you back." ”
He didn't mention whether Qi Shiyun was gone or still in the hospital. didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to answer, and walked outside directly.
He quickly reached the elevator and reached out to press the elevator. Gu Shi'an looked at the numbers rising on the elevator and said, "No need to send it." I'll just go back myself. ”
Chen Xiao was noncommittal, standing still and did not move. Waited for the elevator to come up and got into the elevator.
Gu Shi'an hesitated slightly before following into the elevator.
His car was parked in the parking lot, and no one spoke along the way. When he arrived at the car, he stepped forward to open the car door for Gu Shi'an, and waited for Gu Shi'an to sit in before he went around to the other side and got into the car.
There should be a lot of things in Chen Xiao's company, and people keep calling him in the car. He drove and picked up. The call went all the way to the new house. He just hung up.
Gu Shi'an originally wanted him to send him back to the old house, but he still didn't open his mouth after all.
Chen Xiao was very tired, and he didn't say that he would not return to the hospital. went upstairs and turned on the light, and asked Gu Shi'an to take a bath.
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, took his clothes and went to take a bath.
When he was waiting to come out, Chen Xiao was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and he didn't know when he ordered takeout, and there was already takeout on the table. Seeing Gu Shi'an come out, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "Dry your hair and eat." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the table.
Gu Shi'an's face was so swollen that he probably knew that it was inconvenient for her to eat, and the takeaway he ordered for her was porridge. When Gu Shi'an sat down, he gave her the spoon.
Gu Shi'an said thank you now.
The numbness on his face was fading from the ice, and the pain was scorching. Gu Shi'an also had to work hard to eat. She tried her best not to let Chen Xiao see it, and ate in small bites.
Rao is like this, and the speed is much slower than usual.
Chen Xiao finished eating in front of her, didn't speak, and sat and smoked. Waiting to finish eating, Gu Shi'an was originally going to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but he organized her, took out an ice pack from the refrigerator and gave it to her, and motioned for her to put on her face. He got up and went to clean up the dishes.
Gu Shi'an took it silently and sat down on the sofa.
Chen Xiao came out of the kitchen not long after, took out the medicine box, didn't know where to turn out the anti-inflammatory medicine, took out a pill and poured a glass of water for Gu Shi'an, and motioned for her to eat.
Gu Shi'an said thank you and took it. After taking the medicine, she said, "You go to the hospital, I'm fine, don't worry about me." ”
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Aunt Ye will guard tonight." ”
He didn't talk much, and went into the bathroom to wash.
Gu Shi'an was tired, so he sat on the sofa. There was a blank piece in my mind, and I didn't want to think about anything.
She naturally knew that Qi Shiyun gave her the slap. She may have wanted to give her this slap a long time ago, but she just couldn't find a suitable excuse.
Gu Shi'an closed his eyes. I don't know how long it took for Chen Xiao to come out of the bathroom. Seeing that Gu Shi'an was still sitting, he looked at the time. said: "It's not early, turn off the lights and go to sleep." ”
Gu Shi'an said yes, got up and turned off the lights. was about to go to the guest room, but before she reached the door, Chen Xiao reached out and hugged her in the dark.
He strangled her tightly, and after a long time, he said, "Gu Shi'an, I'm sorry." ”
Gu Shi'an knew that his sentence of sorry was said by Dai Qi Shiyun, and he just wanted to say that it was okay. Chen Xiao continued: "Thank you. ”
The thank you was deep in his voice, with an imperceptible weakness.
Gu Shi'an's body stiffened slightly.
The two of them stood quietly for a while, and after a long time, Chen Xiao let go of her and let her rest. He entered the guest room.
Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep, and in the middle of the night, his face hurt hotly. She forced herself to close her eyes and fell asleep at dawn.
When she woke up the next day, Chen Xiao had already gotten up, his eyes fell on Gu Shi'an's face, and said, "I have asked for leave for you, don't go to the company today." Have a good rest at home. I don't have to go to the hospital, Luo Ying has been there in the morning, and I have a meeting in the morning. ”
The night passed, and Gu Shi'an's face was not swollen. Instead, it swelled even more. Chen Xiao paused slightly, and then said: "I called Aunt Hourly Worker, she will buy vegetables and come over to cook later." ”
He wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything, and after saying a word, he opened the door and left.
I didn't get much sleep all night. Gu Shi'an's head rose sharply. I flipped over the painkillers, came out, poured a glass of water and drank it.
It was obviously inappropriate for her to go to the company like this, she called Xiao Wang and explained the rest of yesterday.
Just as I was about to get something to eat, there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw the part-time worker standing outside the door. Seeing her swollen face, she was slightly surprised, she always had few words, and she didn't ask anything, saying that Chen Xiao asked her to come over to cook.
She bought breakfast, soy milk fritters and buns.
It was laborious for Gu Shi'an to bite the bun. Soak the fritters in soy milk and eat them after they are rotten.
Although she doesn't have to go to the company, where can she sit still. After breakfast, I found a mask, put it on, and I was going out.
The aunt was advised by Chen Xiao, and hesitated to say that Mr. Chen asked her to rest at home.
Gu Shi'an pulled out a smile and said that he would come back in a while, and then went out.
She couldn't rest assured that the old lady could not get down, so she took a taxi and went straight to the hospital when she got downstairs.
Spring is flu season, and no one finds it strange that she wears a mask.
When she arrived at the hospital, Ye Qing was the only one there, and when she saw her, Ye Qing forced a smile and asked her why she came.
Gu Shi'an didn't take off his mask, he smiled, and was about to ask the old lady how she was, when he saw Qi Shiyun and Li Ran walking out of the elevator.
Qi Shiyun's face originally had a gentle smile, but the moment she saw Gu Shi'an, her face instantly turned cold.
She wasn't as excited as she was yesterday, so she quickly looked away, patted Li Ran's hand, and said, "You still know that Aunt I feel distressed, and she came to see me." Unlike some white-eyed wolves. ”
She sneered when she said this. took Li Ran's hand and sat down on the side.
The atmosphere was a bit chilly.
Li Ran didn't say hello to Gu Shi'an, and said with a gentle smile: "That's what I should do when I came to see you." You are not well, call me if there is anything in the future. I'm here to accompany you. ”
Her tone was very sincere. But this is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Qi Shiyun patted her hand and said, "Auntie, thank you." ”
Li Ran smiled slightly, and said that you are polite. glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said softly: "Don't blame Shi'an, it must be uncomfortable for you to be sad for her." Yes, Shi'an. ”
She is directing Qi Shiyun's anger to Gu Shi'an.
Qi Shiyun's face really changed greatly, she glanced at Gu Shi'an, and laughed coldly.
