Chapter 111: Encountering Xiao Man
"Didn't the doctor say that if you sleep more, you can grow up faster, Xiaoyi likes to sleep, she wants to grow up quickly, so that she can protect her mother in the future." Xiao Yi smelled the aroma of porridge and couldn't help licking her mouth, which was as sweet as honey.
Jiang Juan pursed his lips to express suspicion, and handed the sweet porridge to his son's mouth.
"By the way, help me take care of Xiaoyi, I will find out the cause of your father's death as soon as possible." Chu Wei said something before leaving, which made her feel a little strange.
He seemed to be deliberately reminding himself that the reason why she chose to take care of Xiaoyi and stay by his side was for the original agreement, but his way of changing direction looked a little clumsy.
If it weren't for something that happened to the Chu family, Chu Wei would not have returned to China without saying a word, and if this matter was not related to him, Chu Wei would not have to hide it from her.
So, what happened during her absence?
"Mommy, the porridge has been stirred out by you......" Xiao Yi saw the porridge fall on Jiang Xuan's clothes, and shouted in surprise, but even so, it sounded milky: "Mommy, are you wandering!"
"Ah......" Jiang Juan was pulled back to reality by Xiao Yi's roar, and when she lowered her eyes, she just saw Xiao Yi wiping it with a tissue for herself, and took the tissue over embarrassedly: "Okay, thank you Xiaoyi, Mommy will come by herself."
"Can Xiaoyi eat by herself? Mom went to change her clothes......" Jiang Wan frowned, and a large stain blurred on the skirt, which looked extremely dazzling on the light white background.
In the lounge, Jiang Juan leaned on the soft sofa, his heart seemed to be falling by something, and every beating was extremely heavy.
The more Chu Wei didn't tell her the truth, the more she couldn't calm down, she couldn't even control herself and worried about him, and the woman's intuition told her that she couldn't sit still anymore.
Perhaps, she can find a breakthrough......
The afternoon in late autumn was not so hot, and it was drizzling lightly today, and it was even a little cool, Jiang Juan covered his coat and looked at the door of the old mansion.
"Wanwan, I'll wait for you outside......"
Xiao Yi leaned against the car door and glanced in along Jiang Xuan's line of sight.
"yes, okay." Jiang Juan nodded, in fact, she originally wanted to come over by herself, but Xiao Yi had been in the hospital in the morning, and she met him when she came out, Xiao Yi was worried about her safety, so she had to drive her over.
Jiang Juan didn't resist Xiao Yi in the end, so he could only let him come to the old mansion together.
The scent of flowers and the scent of the earth after the rain reminded her of the days when she lived here five years ago.
She took a deep breath and tried to rid herself of the bad memories.
"Miss Jiang?" Zhou's mother was wearing a brown apron, and she saw a person standing at the door from a distance.
Jiang Wan came back to his senses, rubbed his somewhat stiff face, and pulled a polite smile.
"Mother Zhou, I'll help Xiaoyi get some things......" Jiang Juan casually found a reason, she had lived here before, and she had always been taken care of by Mother Zhou, so she was not so rusty.
"Little master?" Zhou's mother asked suspiciously while inviting her in with a smile.
Jiang Juan was a little embarrassed, she remembered that Xiao Yi had lived in the old mansion for a while before, and she thought that something should have fallen here, if there was no Xiao Yi as a cover, she really didn't know what reason to use to come back to the old mansion.
"Oh...... The little master moved back to the villa before, there were some things left here, I put them away for the little master, Zhou's mother is old, and she almost forgot about it......" Zhou's mother patted her head, as if she was a little annoyed.
Jiang Juan nodded, didn't say much to Zhou's mother, and directly introduced the topic: "Is Grandpa there?"
Chu's current situation is not right, if she guesses correctly, it should be related to Chu Yin, maybe she can find a clue from Chu Yin.
"Yes, the master is in the living room, Miss Jiang, wait a minute, I'll take the little master's things for you." The two entered the door together, Zhou's mother was busy going upstairs to find something, and Jiang Juan saw Chu Yin leaning on the sofa from a distance and closing his eyes to recuperate.
She cleared her throat and walked towards Chu Yin.
Although Chu Yin is old, his ears are also sensitive, and when he heard this somewhat unfamiliar footsteps, he opened his eyes and glanced over.
"Grandpa......" Jiang Juan didn't wait for Chu Yin to speak, but explained first: "I'll help Xiaoyi get something."
Chu Yin was quite gentle to Jiang Juan, in fact, a long time ago, he did not reject Jiang Juan, but a series of things happened later, which made him have no reason not to hate Jiang Juan.
However, if Chu Wei chose to give up on her, there was no need for him to keep Jiang Juan on the hostile list.
The old man snorted and moved his gaze back from Jiang Juan: "Since you're here, let's have a meal and leave."
"No need, there are friends waiting for me, I'll take my things and leave." Jiang Juan was slightly stunned, very uncomfortable with Chu Yin's sudden enthusiasm, and was stunned for half a second before remembering to refuse.
"How is Xiaoyi doing now?" Chu Yin seemed to have nothing to say, sat up slightly straighter, and his face softened a lot.
Jiang Juan looked at him with low eyes, he didn't see any difference from usual, but he always felt that something was weird, and he responded absentmindedly: "Xiaoyi is fine, you don't have to worry."
The two of them didn't say a few words, Zhou's mother packed Xiaoyi's things and took them down, seeing that Jiang Juan and Chu Yin were deadlocked, she didn't know whether to step forward and hand her the things for a while.
"Thank you, Mama Zhou. Grandpa, pay attention to your body, I'll go first. Jiang Juan bowed politely, took the packed things, and said casually.
Before coming, in fact, Jiang Juan was also mentally prepared, before Chu Yin forced her to let Chu Wei choose between the president position and her, and also talked to her in person and asked her to leave Chu Wei, this time she visited the old mansion for no reason, Chu Yin's reaction was beyond her expectations.
It should be said that his composure and calmness exceeded her expectations.
"What, when I went back to the old mansion, I lost my soul?" Xiao Yi has been looking outside since she entered the old mansion, and when she saw Jiang Juan coming out of the door, she quickly ran over and took the things in her hand.
Jiang Wan's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "No, it may be that I didn't sleep well yesterday and my spirit is not good."
"Then am I going to witness again, that you fainted from overwork?" Xiao Yi opened the car door with one hand and said jokingly.
In the bedroom on the second floor of Chu's old mansion, Chu Wei stood by the window, watching the blue Rolls-Royce drive out of the old mansion from a distance and gradually disappear from view.
"I have an apartment next to the hospital, and I don't usually live there, so it's inconvenient for you to take care of Xiaoyi and go back to the apartment in Yuanshan, so it's better to live here with me first." I don't know if there was an accident in front, there was obviously some congestion on the road, Xiao Yi looked at the long convoy in front of him, and suddenly remembered the apartment.
"Uh...... No, there is a rest room next door to the ward. Jiang Juan leaned on the backrest, watching the green light turn into a red light, and felt irritated for no reason.
Since moving to take care of Xiaoyi, she really hasn't slept a day, Xiaoyi's VIP ward is for children, usually Jiang Juan is not at ease at night, so she has been resting in the lounge next door, and she always has to get up several times at night to observe Xiaoyi's situation.
"This kind of VIP ward, there are special nurses for one-on-one observation at night, you don't have to worry so much, you are always not well rested, how can you have the energy to take good care of Xiaoyi." When the car restarted, Xiao Yi was not in a hurry or impatient, and he was very patient in persuading Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and didn't speak, she could also feel it, because she took care of Xiaoyi all day, she herself was a little unbearable.
"Okay, Xiaoyi, I don't know when I will be able to recover to a state where I can be discharged from the hospital, you keep consuming like this, it's not a way to do it." Xiao Yi glanced at her sideways, and his tone was rare and tough: "I'll accompany you to buy some necessary items later, you live in the apartment first, and the rest will be talked about later."
Xiao Yi and Jiang Juan didn't go back to the hospital, they went directly to a nearby shopping mall, and the two of them were strolling around the mall, but they saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao Man!" Jiang Juan looked at the image Xiaoman from a distance, and only dared to recognize it when he got closer.
The girl heard someone shouting behind her, and subconsciously turned around, but she didn't expect to see Jiang Juan: "Sister?"
Jiang Juan has been away from Iris for some time, and he has not had time to contact Xiao Man, and this time he met by chance in the mall, and his mood was naturally much brighter: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiao Man seems to be a lot more beautiful."
Xiao Man's personality is introverted, and she has often teased her in Iris Jiang Juan before, but she hasn't seen her for a short time, and Xiao Man seems to have changed as a person, and her clothes are more mature than before.
"Sister, are you laughing at me again......" Xiao Man made a grimace, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yi following behind Jiang Juan.
"Doctor Xiao, why are you here?" Xiao Man stared around with big eyes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Xiao Yi here.
Although Xiao Man was a little introverted, she was still caught by Jiang Wan with a flash of joy in her eyes, she was slightly stunned for two seconds before she reacted and asked, "You two know each other?"
"Well, my mother's heart surgery was performed by Dr. Xiao." Xiao Man nodded obediently, and his cheeks drifted a touch of crimson at some point.
Although Xiao Yi has many patients, most of them remember that he does still have some impressions of this Xiao Man, but Xiao Man said this, and he was embarrassed not to respond: "It was a long time ago, how is Auntie's health now?"
"Very good, very good, thank you Dr. Xiao." Xiao Man became even more shy when he heard Xiao Yi speak, Jiang Juan watched this scene from the side, and felt that he was like a huge light bulb at the moment.
She kind of liked the feeling.
She didn't know what Xiao Yi really thought in her heart, and she didn't know why he tried hard to get close to her even though he knew that there was no result, and his way of pressing step by step made her feel a little embarrassed to even be friends.
He should find someone who is truly worthy of his liking, and he should be happy.
"Well, I want to go to the bathroom, you two can wait for me here."
