Chapter 722: Everyone has to save face
Xiaorui's mind was empty at this moment, and it took a little effort to understand what Xu Dong meant, and she quickly nodded and took the order.
Xu Dong snorted and walked away.
When Xiaorui entered, the room was already in a mess, and the bottles and cans on the makeup table were scattered, but Wen Yi was sitting upright on the chair.
"Miss Wen......"
Xiaorui didn't know what to say, but when she was outside, she could hear the movement inside, and knew that Xu Dong had beaten her, and it was not light. Sure enough, when she walked in front of Wen Yi, she couldn't help but gasp, the person in front of her had messy hair, red and swollen cheeks, and an obvious crack on his neck.
This is clearly domestic violence, but the person in the chair is expressionless, with his eyes closed, only putting his hands on his knees, and clutching the material of his skirt.
Xiaorui could only squat down and pick up all the things on the ground, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Mr. Xu...... Mr. Xu said that your makeup is spent, let me come in and make up for you, Miss Wen, you see ......"
Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that there was less than an hour left before the press conference, Xiaorui took a deep breath and picked a suitable puff from the table and put it in front of Wen Yi.
The whole face was a red mark from the slap, which was now more swollen.
How many hands did it take to be beaten like this, Xiaorui was a little unbearable, and reluctantly picked a place where she could start, and gently reminded: "Time is running out, Miss Wen, then let's ...... Let's start it......" Then he covered the puff in his hand, and Wen Yi's eyelids, who had never reacted, finally wrinkled, but it was only for a moment, and soon returned to dead silence.
The press conference of the Chengnan project started at two o'clock and lasted about an hour and a half, inviting the more authoritative mainstream media in the circle, and all the Q&A was set in advance, and the press conference was just a passing form.
Naturally, no uninteresting reporter will ask about Xu Dong's private affairs at the meeting, but it takes courage for him to attend with Wen Yi on the cusp of this kind of storm, but if Wen Yi does not attend, there will only be more criticism, so Xu Dong can only bring Wen Yi to appear with him anyway, and they must try their best to cooperate in playing a loving couple in front of the camera.
The press conference was broadcast live on the Internet, and Zhou Yimo took his mobile phone and sat in the corridor at the entrance of the ICU to watch.
Wen Yi has very few shots, except that she was glimpsed after Xu Dong when she entered, and it was only the side of a long shot, and the rest of the time the focus was not on her.
I don't know if this is explained by the public relations team to the reporter in advance or by chance, Xu Dong and the rest of the project leaders are the protagonists of this meeting, Wen Yi just attended as "Mrs. Xu", and it is normal that there are few shots.
Zhou Yimo was not interested in the project itself, so she watched it with headphones plugged in for a while, but when she wanted to turn off the video, she saw the camera sweep over, about two or three seconds, just cut to a close-up of Wen Yi.
At the time of the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhou Yimo remembered that she was wearing a gray narrow-shouldered skirt, and today she wore a suit, which was pure white, long-sleeved, and deliberately wore a blue striped silk scarf at the neckline, and her hair was also meticulously coiled, looking very formal, but she felt that the makeup was a little heavy, especially the blush, and the cheeks were a little deep.
Zhou Yimo didn't care, she just felt that Wen Yi's expression was a little heavy, her lips were pursed, and her eyes didn't look like she was facing the camera. She should be very tormented in her heart at the cusp of this storm. Zhou Yimo took a slight breath, pulled off the earbuds, and turned off the video.
After Xu Linan waited for Xu Dong's press conference, he met with him, and politely said that he hoped for more guidance in the future, but actually told him that he was officially going to work.
Xu Dong, who was originally unhappy and disgusting, was in no mood to greet him, but nodded coldly, "When are you free, I'll pick up the wind for you." ”
The implication is that he is not free now, and I hope Xu Linan will not disturb him.
Whoever is cuckolded by his wife is in a bad mood, Xu Linan understands his mood and does not disturb him too much, "Brother Dong, you are polite, I came to learn from you, naturally I invited you." ”
Xu Dongpi said with a smile, "My brother, don't say these polite words." ”
Xu Linan stood up, "Since Brother Dong has something to do, I won't bother, I heard that my eldest brother is in the hospital, I'll go and take a look." ”
If this bastard doesn't stab him, he will die or something, Xu Dong really wanted to punch him, but he still held back.
Coming out of Xu Dong, Xu Linan called Zhou Yimo and asked for the address of Xu Zhi's hospitalization, Zhou Yimo told him on the phone, considering how he first arrived, let the bodyguards pick him up.
Xu Linan began to be polite to Zhou Yimo for a while, and finally obeyed Zhou Yimo's arrangement, and told Zhou Yimo how he first arrived.
Zhou Yimo picked him up in the hall, this was the first time the two of them met, however, both of them were people on the scene, and they soon became acquainted, "Cousin Nan, I heard Sister Lian mention you before, saying that you are in the United States, and I also said that I would wait until I return to the ancestral home of the Xu family to see you, but I didn't expect my second grandfather to transfer you over, and now there are more and more brothers and sisters coming over, and it will be lively in the future." ”
Xu Linan also had a good understanding of Zhou Yimo before, and the information wanted to show that she was a very scheming person, which was really reflected as soon as they met, and he smiled quietly, "Momo, you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and the entire Xu family is very excited." You don't know, my aunt and uncle have been missing for many years, and the people in the family have been looking for them every day. It's a pity that my aunt passed away, but it's still gratifying that you, your uncle and Jiajia Xiaobao can go home. ”
The Xu family is such a big family, and it is not false that someone welcomes them back, but to say that the one in front of him will be welcome, Zhou Yimo didn't believe it, smiled Zhou Yimo and said, "My mother's health was not good before, and I was separated from my uncle, I was really lonely during that time, and now it's good to have so many brothers and sisters at once." ”
Xu Linan smiled and said, "Okay, I think too." When you return to your ancestral hometown, I will take you to get to know more brothers and sisters. ”
Zhou Yimo also smiled, "Then, I thanked Cousin Nan first." The eldest cousin is still in the intensive care unit, and at this time, you can only watch him through the glass window. ”
Xu Linan said, "I also know that now is not the time for visits, and after the online report, I called Sister Lian and said that the injury was very serious, and I didn't feel at ease if I didn't come." ”
Zhou Yimo said, "The doctor said that he was out of danger, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
After the two chatted about Xu Zhi's injury for a while, Xu Linan was not early, and he was still sent back by the Qin family's bodyguards.
It was already ten o'clock at night, Zhou Yimo was standing at the front gate of the hospital, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, only vehicles were speeding by, and it was a little cold, the temperature dropped quickly for a while, and the temperature difference between day and night was large, Zhou Yimo stood for a while and couldn't resist, so he turned around and went to the convenience store next to him.
I wanted to buy a hot drink to warm my hands, but when I turned around, I saw Wen Yi sitting at the window.
Originally, Zhou Yimo might not have noticed her, because Wen Yi was wearing a hat and a scarf, and most of her face was covered, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but Zhou Yimo had watched the video of the press conference in the afternoon and recognized the white coat on her body.
When I first saw her, I was stunned, but I quickly understood, guessing that she probably wanted to come to the hospital to see Xu Zhi, but she didn't have the courage to go in.
Zhou Yimo slowly paced over, put the paper cup in her hand on the table, Wen Yi, who was originally in deep thought, was suddenly interrupted, raised her head, and saw Zhou Yimo in front of her, a trace of panic and panic flashed in her exposed eyes, probably not expecting to meet Zhou Yimo here.
Zhou Yimo didn't have any expression as always, but her fingers gently propped up on the edge of the table, "It's all here, why don't you go in?" ”
Wen Yi didn't make a sound, Zhou Yimo waited for a while, to be honest, she felt that she didn't have enough patience in this matter, if she had to say a right or wrong, the culprit could only be Wen Yi.
"Well, if you don't want to go in, I'll just think I didn't see you." Zhou Yimo picked up the paper cup and left, and when he walked to the door, he heard the sound of moving a chair behind him.
"Wait!"
“……”
He ...... How about now? ”
Zhou Yimo said, "Don't you suspect that he did it?" He deserved to be killed, and asked him what he was doing? ”
Wen Yi gritted his teeth, "He really deserves to be killed, but he can't die now, he hasn't helped me prove it." ”
Zhou Yimo said, "What did he help you prove?" If you go directly to your second grandfather and ask him to change a hospital to check on you, you will know whether you have an abortion or tumor removal. ”
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, obviously she hadn't thought of this before, "But what if his old man knows that I am innocent?" Now the Internet is full of me fornicating with my husband's eldest brother and cuckolding my husband, and the reputation of several of us has been completely ruined, which is all a good thing done by Xu Zhi's bastard. He doesn't care about fame, others want it. ”
Zhou Yimo said, "Wen Yi, how do you know that he doesn't care?" ”
Wen Yi said, "Do you care that he will do that kind of thing? ”
Zhou Yimo said, "You just say that he is an idiot, this kind of thing, what good is it for him that he framed you?" I know that it won't be long before the truth comes out. After he deliberately did this, he made himself the target of public criticism in the Xu family? ”
"......" Zhou Yimo's words are not unreasonable, calm down and think about it for the past two days, Wen Yi also began to have doubts, otherwise she would not have come to visit Xu Zhi, but her mouth was still hard, "That's not sure, he was still talking nonsense in front of his grandfather on the day I got married." ”
Zhou Yimo said, "That's just what he said in anger for a while, does anyone believe it?" Did he say it to outsiders after that? This time it is obvious that the three of you are black, and he is not stupid, knocking the two of you down and putting himself on again, who is he making wedding clothes for? ”
"......" It is undeniable that Zhou Yimo's words are very reasonable, Wen Yi shrugged his head, "Although I doubt him, I really didn't let people beat him." ”
Zhou Yimo said, "I know that you didn't do it, I suggest that you talk to your second grandfather after you go back. ”
"But ...... what if Xu Dong was looking for someone to fight, these words swirled a few times on the tip of her tongue, and in the end she still didn't say it.
Things have come to this point, even if she wants to protect Xu Dong, she can't keep it, even if Xu Jianghai doesn't check, will Xu Zhihui just forget it? Besides, she also has a reputation as a girl.
Zhou Yimo knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Xu Dong treated her like this, and wanted to protect Xu Dong, "What do you want, do you want to go up and see him?" ”
Wen Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I?" Will he ignore me? "What if I let her go? She also wants to save face.
Zhou Yimo said, "He is still in the intensive care unit, and you can only look through the glass when you go up." ”
If that's the case, it's no problem, in Zhou Yimo's words, it's all here, Wen Yi said, "Okay, I'll go see him." ”
