167 There was a sudden change in attitude
A few days later, Mr. Xu's condition improved, and he was transferred to the VIP ward with the doctor's consent.
Xu Junyan took me to visit a few times, although the old man was out of danger, but the person seemed to be a teenager old, and his mental state was not sober, every time we went, it was just a few simple words, and the old man would close his eyes and fall asleep tiredly.
The doctor said that Mr. Xu's condition has stabilized now, but after all, he is old, and the functional index of various organs is declining, and even if he recovers, he will definitely not be as healthy as before.
Although everyone's mood is heavy, it is fortunate that their lives have been saved, especially Sister Ying, since Old Man Xu woke up, she sat in front of his bed almost every day to accompany him, I saw that her face was tired and her spirit was not very good, so I proposed to accompany Old Man Xu with her.
Sister Ying shook her head again and again and said no, she said that there was actually no shortage of manpower, she just wanted to personally guard Old Man Xu and wait for him to come to his senses.
I know that there are a few servants in the Xu family's old house, and Xu Junyan has also hired a nurse, and the manpower must be enough, but thinking that she is also the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family after all, the old man in the family can't be ignored when he is hospitalized, so I discussed with Sister Ying and said that I will come over for a while every day, and I should accompany her to chat.
Sister Ying saw that I insisted, and no longer objected, Xu Junyan was still hesitant, I said that I would take Ah Wen and Ah Jing with me every time I went out, and the hospital was so safe, what else did you worry about, he had to give up.
During the old man's hospitalization, Xu Qian and Ding Lan seemed to have evaporated from the world, and Ding Lan was just that, after all, Xu Qian was also half of the old man's son, and he didn't come to visit once, which was simply shameful.
But what I didn't expect was that Shao Ya actually came.
I was sitting on the sofa flipping through the parenting book, when I suddenly heard a whistle, raised my head, and saw Shao Ya's handsome face against the glass door frame, with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Let him in." I opened the door and nodded to Ah Wen and Ah Jing.
The two hesitated for a few seconds, but got out of the way.
Shao Yayin was in a black suit, he looked a little thinner, he casually handed over a bouquet of flowers, and his gaze stayed on Old Man Xu's sleeping face for a few seconds, "How is Old Mr. Xu now?" ”
"I've passed the dangerous period, but I'm not in good spirits!" I took the flowers and put them in a vase next to me, then pointed to the rest area outside, "Let's go out and talk!" ”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at me, his tone of concern deep, "The hospital is not suitable for pregnant women. ”
"I have to come to the hospital sooner or later, so it's good to get used to it in advance." I said calmly, turned around and walked out.
He hooked his lips and smiled, and without further ado, he pushed the door open for me, and then reached out to help me out, and I dodged it, and out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the obvious loss in his eyes, but my mood was surprisingly calm.
We found two seats in the lounge area and sat down, and after a moment of silence, Shao Ya took a deep breath and said slowly, "You don't seem to be surprised at all. ”
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I stared into his eyes, and my tone unconsciously carried a hint of reproach, "Actually, you have already recognized Xu Qian, haven't you?" ”
In fact, I am a little angry with Shao Ya, obviously he and Xu Qian have known each other a long time ago, but he keeps saying that he regards me as a friend, but he has been hiding from me about his relationship with Xu Qian, especially when I think of Ding Lan saying that he and Xu Qian want to work together to bring down Zhengqing, my heart is even more uncomfortable.
Shao Ya lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, the sunlight shone on his face through the mottled shadows of the trees, as if there was a dark shadow floating, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at me, his tone was slightly bitter, "If I tell you, will you still treat me as a friend!" ”
In an instant, I understood Shao Ya's careful thoughts hidden in my heart.
He is Xu Junyan's younger brother, my brother-in-law, we are uncle-sister-in-law, whether from a moral or ethical point of view, we must maintain a cautious distance, and there can be no trace of transgression.
Of course I won't treat him as a friend anymore, I will treat him as a relative, and from now on, the barrier between us will get thicker and thicker, and I can deal with it calmly, but Shao Ya, is he still expecting anything?
"Shao Ya, I thought we had made it clear a long time ago." I stared at him, and my tone was more serious than ever, "My heart is not big, I can only fit one person, and this person is now my husband, the father of my children, and your ......"
"Brother!" When I said that, I suddenly felt very weird, as if I was forcibly pulling Shao Ya to recognize my relatives.
I felt quite uncomfortable, so I quickly took a sip of the milk cup and paused before I continued, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”
MD, it feels even weirder!
I think I'm like the heroine in a Hong Kong drama who asks the supporting actor what he plans to do in the future, and the supporting actor usually answers "go out to avoid the limelight" or "immigrate to Canada".
Shao Ya hooked his lips, as if sensing my discomfort, his gaze stayed on my lower abdomen for a few seconds before he said unhurriedly, "You said that if Xu Junyan was asked to choose between you and Zhengqing, who would he choose?" ”
I thought Shao Ya would either say, "What should I do, I'm too lazy to deal with Xu Junyan" or "I need time", but he directly threw out an irrelevant question, which really choked me.
"You are brothers, even if you can't be brothers, friends, brothers, don't turn against each other." I didn't answer his question, and directly changed the topic, "Don't go against Zhengqing again, Uniasia is a good company, I believe that with your ability, you can run it better!" ”
"I always knew that I had an older brother, and I knew that he lived in a big house, dressed in well-made clothes, and surrounded by a large group of people who protected him every day like the stars and the moon, and I used to envy him so much. Of course, I envy him now, but it's not the same as when I was a child. Shao Ya took a sip from the coffee cup, he stared at me meaningfully, and a soft color floated on his sculpted features.
I turned my face away from his burning gaze.
"My mother took me to Xu's house, and of course she didn't dare to say who we were, after all, we were lovers and illegitimate children who couldn't see the light. My mom pointed to a man in the garden and said he was my father, but I couldn't call him or we'd all starve. ”
"I asked my mom why my dad was playing with other women and children, and she didn't speak, she just shed tears, and I didn't dare to ask again. Later, the man came out and quietly gave my mother money, and he told others that we were relatives in his hometown. ”
"Later, my mother probably figured it out, she remarried, but her vision was too bad, and she was not as good as the man she was looking for, she married an alcoholic, and the drunkard either beat her or me every day. Then she died, I escaped, I met you, you are the best meeting in my life, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. ”
"I arrived at the Shao family, I studied hard, I went abroad for further study, I don't want to disappoint my adoptive father and adoptive mother, even if I study abroad, I live on my scholarship, because I hope that one day in the future I can find the little angel in my life, I want to repay her, I want her to be happy."
"But I'm still a step too late."
Shao Ya's voice sounded surprisingly calm, he seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with him, his angular outline was hidden in the shadows, his eyes seemed to be unwavering, and the corners of his lips even occasionally hooked a faint arc, but I knew in my heart that under his seemingly calm appearance, there were emotions like volcanic lava.
I stared at him silently until he stopped talking.
After a long silence, I don't know how to comfort him, I can understand his pain and unwillingness, in his heart, he is also Xu Qian's son, and he is also an innocent childhood, but he and Xu Junyan live very different lives.
However, as Zhang Ailing said, life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with lice. Xu Junyan's life is not as good as Shao Ya imagined, he has experienced kidnapping, he has experienced the loss of his mother, he is carrying a heavy spiritual burden, he is the heir of Zhengqing, he is the expectation of Old Man Xu's life, and his life is not easy.
"Shao Ya, everyone's life has a dark side, and Xu Junyan's life is not as easy as you think." I looked directly into Shao Ya's eyes, and my tone was a little unconsciously serious, "I hope you can understand that you and him are both innocent, since you already know the relationship between you, why do you continue to fight-for-tat." ”
"If there is a chance, I still want to give it a try, between Zhengqing and you, who will he choose?" Shao Ya hooked her lips, and a cloudy smile appeared on her face.
"Shao Ya!" My voice unconsciously raised a few points, and finally, I sighed, "Let's talk to Xu Junyan, in the name of my brother!" ”
Soon after sending Shao Ya away, Sister Ying came back, and I didn't want to tell her that Shao Ya had been here, so I excused myself and retired.
Walking out of the ward, I stood in front of the window outside the corridor for a long time, thinking of Shao Ya's words just now, my mood was inexplicably heavy.
It was originally a surprise to have one more relative in life, but now whether it is Xu Junyan or Shao Ya, I am afraid that they are all surprised or unhappy.
I suddenly felt that without my existence, the relationship between the two would not be easy to improve, and after thinking about it, it may not be.
After all, for Xu Junyan, Shao Ya means the betrayal of his biological father to his mother, and presumably for him, Shao Ya's appearance symbolizes some kind of shame.
"Mrs. Xu, I'll send you back, it's already dark!" Arwen urged me, and I nodded and followed him towards the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door opened, it turned out to be Zhou Jingru.
"Xie Rong, I beg you, you persuade Xu Junyan not to withdraw the shares of the factory! Last time it was me who was bad, I apologize to you, I don't dare anymore! Zhou Jingru's attitude has changed 360 degrees.
