163. A blessing in misfortune
Gu Feiyan was so angry by her appearance that she lost her temper, and stretched out her hand to poke Xia Nianxi fiercely, "It's said that you are stupid for three years when you are pregnant, you are really not wrong." β
When he returned home in the evening, Situ Feng had already arrived home, followed by a few subordinates with serious expressions, and a few people had just come down from upstairs, just as Xia Nianxi had just entered the door.
"Dad."
She looked at Situ Feng with a worried expression.
Situ Feng had already heard from his wife that Nianxi was brought back by Qiao's family, so he was not too surprised.
These days, cooperating with the investigation of all parties, he can't run around every day, and he has lost a lot of weight. Looking at his daughter, who had just been together, Situ Feng showed a rare trace of warmth, "Have you eaten?" β
"Well, I ate it at Meng Yao's."
"Okay, I've been busy at home lately, you take care of yourself." After speaking, he walked downstairs, and the people who followed him were more serious than the other, and they followed quickly.
After a while, I heard the sound of the car engine starting outside.
Back in her room, she was in a hurry but didn't know what to do.
Stretching out her hand to cover her stomach, Xia Nianxi looked out the window, the three cars quickly disappeared into the night, and her worried expression was reflected in the glass.
Lying on the bed, playing prenatal music, she tries to let herself go, don't worry too much, the emotions of pregnant women during pregnancy will greatly affect the baby's personality.
"Baby, everything is going to be fine, isn't it?" Whispering, she pressed her palms to her belly.
By the time she was five months old, she could feel the baby kicking her, and when she thought about it, she forgot about the sorrows of the outside world for a while.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Situ Feng came back, and Xia Nianxi hurriedly walked out of the room, "Dad! β
Situ Feng, who had just reached the top of the third staircase, turned around, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes, "You haven't slept yet?" β
"Dad, pay attention to your body. Have you eaten? β
Situ Feng thought for a moment, "I'll let the cook cook something to eat casually." You are pregnant, pay attention to rest, don't stay up late. β
"Well, that ......" Before he could tell him about Qiao's family, he saw him walk quickly upstairs and into the study.
Glancing at the watch, Xia Nianxi turned around and went downstairs, walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look, the ingredients were there.
Roll up her sleeves, she can at least make something to eat.
The manager received a call from Situ Feng to make some supper, and was just about to go to the chef when he heard movement in the kitchen, walked over to take a look suspiciously, and finally slowly retreated, not intending to disturb Xia Nianxi.
Except for Madame, this is the first time that someone has cooked for the master.
He still didn't want to disturb the time the father and daughter spent together.
Xia Nianxi remembered that her mother told her about the family's taste preferences, and as the eldest father, there were almost no picky eaters, but he preferred spicy food.
The men in the army, coming and going in the wind and rain, and the rain of bullets and bullets have survived, and the spicy stimulation will make them excited and maintain their fighting spirit!
made a bowl of noodles, Xia Nianxi lowered his head and smelled it, it was spicy and delicious, and with two side dishes, he walked upstairs cautiously with a plate.
Walking to the door of Situ Feng's study, Xia Nianxi knocked lightly on the door.
"Who?"
"Dad, it's me, I made you something to eat." A little worried that she would be blamed, she lifted it in her heart.
When she was a child, Xia Maoqing was in the study, and once she watched TV and learned from the people in the TV series to go to the study to deliver tea, but Xia Maoqing not only didn't drink tea, but also slapped her, annoying her.
The shadow of my childhood, no matter how many years, will always be a little trace.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she suddenly lost her courage, so she should leave it to the housekeeper.
As soon as he turned around, the door opened, and Situ Feng's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, "Come in." β
"Hmm." Lowering her head and not daring to look more, she put the food on the table and said crampedly: "Dad, you eat, go to bed early, I won't bother you." β
As soon as he was about to go out, he was stopped by a shout, "Nian Xi." β
She looked back at Situ Feng, "Dad? β
"You don't have to be so afraid of me, I am like this in the barracks, and I can't change it, you have to get used to it slowly." Situ Feng looked at the noodles and side dishes on the table, his eyes were gentle, but Xia Nianxi hadn't been with him for a long time after all, so he didn't feel any difference.
"You did this?" Situ Feng sat down and picked up his chopsticks.
Xia Nianxi was a little shy, stirring her fingers, "Well, it's not as good as a professional chef, it's so late, don't call them." β
"Except for your mother and your grandmother, I haven't eaten anything cooked by my family." Situ Feng lowered his head and sniffed, and nodded with satisfaction, "It tastes better than your mother's cooking, fragrant!" Picking up a chopstick noodle and eating it, the noodles were strong and the soup was delicious, and he glanced at Xia Nianxi in surprise.
Because of her father's words, Xia Nianxi's nervousness suddenly disappeared, and she began to secretly observe this study.
Sabers and bows and arrows hung on the walls, and huge bookshelves were full of various military theories and political treatises.
There is a money tree next to the door, and there is a small rockery next to it with living water flowing.
"I'm done, it's delicious."
Xia Nianxi turned around and looked over, and he had eaten a bowl of noodles and two side dishes.
It's just a blink of an eye, and that's too fast.
But when she saw that she had eaten it all, she was still very happy in her heart, and if she didn't like it, she might just give her face a taste, and her father ate it directly.
"If you like it, I'll often make it for my dad in the future."
Situ Feng walked back to the desk and sat down, the hard lines on his face softened a little, "It's late, don't go to bed too late, I'm still waiting to hug my grandson." β
"Dad, is there a serious problem at home?"
Picking up the document, Situ Feng looked at her, "Why do you think so?" β
"It's rumored outside, and it's rumored that it will be difficult for the family to spend this time......"
"Nianxi, if you have been by our side since you were a child, you only have two choices, the first is to follow me in the army, and the second is to follow your mother in business. As long as your father is here, the affairs of the military will not affect your family, and as long as your mother is there, the affairs of the company will not affect your family. β
Xia Nianxi didn't know if this was his father's words to comfort him, because the situation outside was really tense.
"Will the Qiao family help us?"
"Your mom is still talking to them, Nianxi, thank you for everything you've done for the family."
When her contribution was understood, she was satisfied, and she was so excited that she burst into tears, Xia Nianxi clenched her hands, "I am also a member of the Situ family, this is what I should do." β
When Xia Nianxi came out of the study, Situ Feng turned on his mobile phone, glanced at the missed call that he had just pressed down, and reddialed it.
The phone was connected, and Situ Feng's expression was serious, "How's it going?" β
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Situ's eyes were dark, obviously she had stayed up for several nights, leaning back in her chair tiredly, "Many of our branches have been sniped by finance, and the other party is very familiar with our operation mode. β
"How much is the loss?"
"In the past few days, the total loss has reached 500 million, and the number is still increasing, and many orders will be forced to close most of the branches if they cannot be handed over when they expire."
Situ Feng's eyes were sharp, and the edges and corners of his facial features gradually sharpened, "What about the strings, haven't you found them yet?" β
"There was no news at all, his captors made a lot of preparations, where we had eyeliner, none of them went. Now it's equal to looking for a needle in a haystack......"
"Come back."
"I can't find the strings, I won't go back, I've let him be kidnapped once, this is the second time, it's my mother's dereliction of duty, I must wait until he comes back safely." The more Mrs. Situ spoke, the more excited she became.
"Jiaxi, you are there alone, you can't do anything but be in a hurry, come home. Let's find a way, I will contact X, their global tracing system is very developed, and they will definitely save the string. β
Mrs. Situ jumped to her feet and said urgently: "You are crazy, once you cooperate with them, then your crime will be implemented, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, they want you to make a mistake." I'll come back immediately, you are not allowed to contact them, I don't want you to be charged with treason for the rest of your life! β
"Come back quickly." After speaking, Situ Feng hung up the phone and looked at the photos on the table in a daze for a long time, and finally reached out to hold the photo of himself wearing a military uniform on the table.
Early the next morning, Xia Nianxi was woken up by a phone call before she woke up.
It's only seven o'clock, what's the matter?
"Meng Yao, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Yao hurriedly spoke: "Look at the morning news, isn't your brother still unfounded?" Is what is said on the news true? β
"What's the news?" She suddenly sobered up, turned on the TV, and the news was over.
"You watch Channel XX, it's on the air, you take a deep breath first and prepare psychologically."
Xia Nianxi changed the station, and the TV news was reporting Situ Xian's death.
The mobile phone in his hand quietly slipped to the ground, and Xia Nianxi's head was covered for a while.
Death, death?
What the hell is going on?
How did my brother die?
Getting off the bed, Xia Nianxi's legs were weak, she didn't believe it, wasn't she still looking for it?
How could death be suddenly announced!
Opening the door with trembling hands, Situ Feng just walked upstairs with a serious face, "Nianxi, follow me to pick up your mother, I can't let her see the news." β
"Brother, he ......"
"Spread rumors, give you two minutes to change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the car." After Situ Feng finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs directly.
Disinformation?
Yes, it's just rumors, how could my brother die, the last time they met, he was so proud, so confident!
Ran back to the room, changed her clothes in three or two, and didn't care whether her hair was messy or not, she ran downstairs and got into the car.
The driver immediately started the car and rushed to the airport.
Since the Situ family had an accident, all private jets have been subject to air traffic control and cannot fly at all, and this time Mrs. Situ came back by plane, and those reporters will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
As soon as I thought of my mother's getting off the plane, I was blocked by a reporter to ask about my brother's death, she has been working so hard lately, and her body is almost at the limit, how can she bear it?
As soon as the car arrived at the airport gate, two cars stopped at the front of the car, and the driver hurriedly braked to stop.
Xia Nianxi saw the other party's license plate number, her heart suddenly cooled, and she looked at Situ Feng, "Dad." β
Situ Feng calmly arranged his clothes and looked straight ahead, "Nianxi, remember, the people of the Situ family will not be easily defeated." Go pick up your mom and wait for me to come back. β
Situ Feng got out of the car and walked to the front of the car.
"Chief, I'm sorry to stop you here, there's something I need your help with the investigation, please come with us."
"Hmm. In the car was my daughter, who went to pick up her mother. Situ Feng put his hands behind his back and spoke in a calm tone.
As soon as the leader raised his hand, the two cars immediately moved out of the way.
The car started, Xia Nianxi opened the window, "Dad." β
"Go ahead."
Xia Nianxi turned his head to look at his father, who was getting farther and farther behind him, he got into their car and was taken away by them in the opposite direction.
Looking back, she hugged herself helplessly, what was she going to do?
How would she explain it all to her mother in a moment.
"Miss, be strong, you'll be fine." The driver calmly comforted her in front.
Raising her head and looking at the driver, this was Dad's driver, and it was the first time she heard him speak, "Thank you." β
The things at the top, don't worry, it's useless to worry, the master has been sitting up straight for so many years, and he will definitely be fine.
"Hmm."
When she arrived at the airport, Xia Nianxi got out of the car, put on her hat, and took out her mobile phone to call Mrs. Situ.
The phone is not turned off, and Mom has already gotten off the plane.
Walking into the airport hall and standing at the exit, Xia Nianxi waited urgently.
Seeing a group of reporters hurrying in the distance, she lowered the brim of her hat and turned her back to them.
A figure stepped forward to block behind her, stretched out his hand and pressed on her shoulder, Xia Nianxi turned his head and said in shock: "Why are you?" β
"I've got it, come with me."
"Rong Xiu, didn't you say you wouldn't pester me?"
Rong Xiu glanced at her expressionlessly, "Situ Nianxi, did I say I pestered you?" I've been asked not to waste time here, Madame Szeto is still in the lounge. β
"......" Rong Xiu was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, and walked quickly to the lounge with his arms around Xia Nianxi's waist.
Xia Nianxi followed his footsteps and asked, "How do you know that my mother is here at this time?" β
"Everyone who has a heart knows it, but can I still know? I can only stop the group of reporters, you have to explain it to your aunt, don't let her get too excited. β
"I can't, I ......"
Rong Xiu looked down at her, "Then you just wait for this news to defeat Auntie, who else in the Situ family can appease Auntie now besides you?" β
"My dad, what do you know?" looked at Rong Xiu vigilantly.
"Do you suspect that I am secretly doing something? I didn't expect that the person from the Situ family who believed in me in the end would be Situ Feng. Rong Xiu laughed at himself all his life, pulled her into the lounge, and someone immediately closed the door.
"My dad asked you to come?"
"Nianxi!" Mrs. Situ got up from the sofa and walked towards Xia Nianxi.
When Xia Nianxi saw Mrs. Situ, she forgot about everything else for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mom, why did you come back so early and didn't call me to tell you." β
Mrs. Situ rubbed her eyebrows tiredly, "I sent a message to your father, what about others?" Still in the army? β
Xia Nianxi hugged Mrs. Situ and took her outside, "Let's go home first, wait for you to rest, and I'll tell you something later." β
"What's the matter?"
"Let's go home first, Dad got a call early in the morning to go to a meeting, and he couldn't come for a while."
"yes, okay. But......" Mrs. Situ looked at Rong Xiu, "Rong Xiu, thank you for finding me a rest room to rest, but Nian Xi is engaged to Qiao Ancheng, Auntie is not trying to force you to leave, but the matter has come to this, let it go." β
Xia Nianxi didn't expect her mother to say this, for fear that Rong Xiu would say something that shouldn't be said, so she was just about to interrupt when she heard Rong Xiu say calmly: "Listen to you." β
Listen to you?
Not only Xia Nianxi, but Mrs. Situ was also surprised. But Rong Xiu's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking at all.
"I'll send you back first." Rong Xiu turned around and walked out the door.
"Nianxi, he ......" Mrs. Situ looked at Xia Nianxi.
Xia Nianxi smiled bitterly, looking at Rong Xiu's back, he seemed to have really let go of her.
How crisp, how direct, if you say you don't love it, you can cut everything off immediately.
Why can't she be like him?
The two walked out of the lounge and walked towards the parking lot, Xia Nianxi helped Mrs. Situ, but her mind was in a trance from time to time.
Rong Xiu and a few others had been observing the surroundings intently.
When she arrived at the parking lot, Mrs. Situ was just about to get into the car, when a person suddenly rushed over from a distance, "Mom! β
When Mrs. Situ turned around, she saw that Situ Yin was wearing a sister's clothes, her hair was dyed burgundy, she originally liked to wear white, but now she has more than five colors on her body.
Situ Yin was stopped by two bodyguards, she didn't care at all, "How can I say, I am also your daughter who has raised you for 22 years, come to say hello, it can't be bad, right?" β
She looked down and smiled and pointed to the two bodyguards who had stopped her.
"Rong Xiu, let her come over."
Rong Xiu nodded, the two bodyguards immediately got out of the way, Situ Yin walked over, with a smile on his face, and swept it to Xia Nianxi, but the smile was a little infiltrating.
"Hi, long time no see, my sister."
Xia Nianxi frowned and took a step back, she didn't want to have any more contact with Situ Yin, "I'm not your sister. β
Situ Yin sneered, "Don't want to touch me? Think I'm dirty? I have not done all this to you! β
"Yinyin, before we left City A, we left you enough to live a carefree life. You graduated from a prestigious university, and you are living like this now, you shouldn't blame anyone, especially Nianxi. β
Situ Yin suddenly laughed, and his body began to twist.
The laughter was very uncomfortable, she suddenly quieted down, and looked at Mrs. Situ, "Mom, you like her so much, then my brother doesn't matter." He's dead, and you're tooβ"
"Situ Yin, shut up!" Xia Nianxi scolded loudly, she looked at Situ Yin nervously, hoping that her voice just now could cover her voice.
Mrs. Situ blinked her eyes and asked softly uncertainly, "You, what did you say?" β
"Take her down!"
"Situ Xian is dead, and the news is saying, is everyone lying to you? Mom, she is the scourge of the Situ family, she is here, my brother is dead, Dad was arrested, otherwise how could he not come to pick you up, Mom, the Situ family is defeated, the Situ family is defeated. β
Mrs. Situ pushed Xia Nianxi away, took out her mobile phone, and quickly turned on the Internet, announcing everywhere that Situ Xian was dead, and there was even a complete story.
Situ Xian was kidnapped in Rome and his body was found in a fishing village in the East China Sea.
It was dark, the phone fell to the ground, and Mrs. Situ fainted.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xia Nianxi's face turned pale with fright, Rong Xiu was the closest, he reached out to help Mrs. Situ and helped the person into the car.
"Go to the hospital."
"Haha, Xia Nianxi, I just watched how you enjoyed happiness in the Situ family? What I can't get, you can't get either, haha, the Situ family is going to lose, the Situ family is going to be defeated. β
Rong Xiu glanced back at Situ Yin, who was a little crazy, "Grab her and take her away together." β
Xia Nianxi couldn't hear anything, she trembled and held Mrs. Situ's hand, "Mom, don't be okay, Mom, wake up." β
Rong Xiu sat opposite, watching Xia Nianxi tremble, wanting to reach out to comfort her, but finally held back.
If you say let her go, don't drag it out anymore.
She took out a very old piece of paper from her pocket, just the divorce agreement she had always wanted, and this one was real.
Originally, he didn't plan to see her again, and this piece of paper could be brought to her by others, but who wanted to go back and suddenly received a call from Situ Feng, so he asked himself to go to the airport to pick up Mrs. Situ and Nianxi home.
Xia Nianxi cried and twitched, "Am I really a broom star?" It's only after I came to Situ's house that so many things happened, I ......"
"We've been together for so long, and we haven't seen the Rong family weaken." On the contrary, it is very prosperous in his secret business.
Xia Nianxi looked up at him, but Rong Xiu had already turned his head to look ahead.
When she arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Situ was sent to the emergency room, and Xia Nianxi stood anxiously outside and paced back and forth.
Situ Yin was forced to bring it, and she stood in the corner, once she talked too much, someone would call her, she had already suffered this kind of crime in the car, and she was obedient now.
The doctor came out of the emergency room with a heavy face, "Miss Situ, I hope you are prepared for the worst, Mrs. Situ's current symptoms are very likely to be stroke." β
Xia Nianxi's whole body softened, Rong Xiu immediately stepped forward to hug her, and looked at the doctor with a serious gaze, "Find the best medical team in your hospital, you must wake up the patient, she was just hit, plus overwork, it is impossible to have a stroke!" β
"I, of course we will do our best, just to let Miss Situ be mentally prepared."
Rong Xiu hugged Xia Nianxi tightly and scolded sharply, "We won't make such mental preparations, if Mrs. Situ makes any mistakes, you can all change careers." β
The doctor nodded repeatedly, turned around and hurried into the emergency room.
Grabbing Rong Xiu's clothes with both hands, Xia Nianxi's body trembled, "I'm so scared...... I'm so scared ......"
"It's going to be fine." The palm of his hand pressed on her head, rubbing it gently, and Rong Xiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the door of the operating room.
Mrs. Situ is the only person who reminds him of his mother, and this lady has also taken care of him more than once since he was a child.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want anything to happen to her.
After almost an hour, the door of the emergency room opened, and Xia Nianxi's heart was lifted.
"Mom, she...... How's it going? β
"Fortunately in misfortune, it is only a slight stroke, and the body will be a little stiff temporarily, just raise it for a few days."
Xia Nianxi couldn't help her emotions all of a sudden, cried loudly, squatted on the ground, hugged herself, and cried like a wronged child.
Seeing her cry like this for the first time, Rong Xiu was also taken aback.
Seeing that she cried for half a minute, he frowned and handed her the divorce agreement.
Since Mrs. Situ is fine, it is okay for him to stay, and it is time to leave.
Xia Nianxi cried a handful of snot and tears, her eyes were hazy with tears, she saw a crumpled piece of paper, pouted and looked up at Rong Xiu, isn't there a better paper?
"It's good to be able to give it to you, still pick?" He really wanted to strangle this woman!
Well, I didn't even give her a tissue, and I was really a cold-blooded man!
When I opened the paper, there were still messy words?
Tears blurred her vision, but she couldn't do it, so she closed her eyes and confessed, she put the paper close to her nose, and then blew her nose fiercely.
Stood up, wiped tears with the back of his hand, turned around and threw the paper in the trash.
Rong Xiu: "......"
......
