Chapter Seventy-Five: A Chance Encounter at the Banquet

In the lounge with a simple design in black and white tones, the man stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and straightened his somewhat loose tie.

He looked at the somewhat haggard man in the mirror, and his heart seemed to be covered with a thin haze.

A month ago, Xiao Yi, who had been stable in various physical indicators, suddenly had a fever and was rushed to the intensive care unit, until now, whenever Chu Wei remembered the appearance of Xiao Yi shivering in his arms when he hid in his arms on that rainy night, he still felt scared.

"Lieutenant?" Gu Qian on the other end of the phone seemed to feel that Chu Wei was distracted, and asked suspiciously, after a few years, Gu Qian's voice sounded much older, and there was a muffled sound in his throat when he spoke

"Is there some emergency?" Chu Wei asked tentatively, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes in the mirror, even if the air conditioner in the room was turned on to the maximum, there was still fine sweat flowing from the corners of his forehead covered by his broken hair.

The other party hesitated for a while, and said softly: "The child's condition has further deteriorated, and various treatments have side effects, which is not a long-term solution, in addition, the child's body no longer supports us to continue to overdraw, and the most useful and only way at present ......"

Gu Qian took a breath, he seemed to be writing something, and after a pause, he could vaguely hear the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper: "The only way is to find the bone marrow that matches the child within three months, otherwise it will ......"

The old hoarse voice paused, and he couldn't bear to continue.

Otherwise, the child will not have a few months left.

Chu Wei answered and hung up the phone. The lounge was well insulated, completely insulated from the sound of the banquet music, and it was surprisingly quiet, and the man irritably threw his phone aside and turned on the faucet on the sink.

"Daddy, didn't Mommy want me because I was sick?" The little boy lay on a small hospital bed, and with every breath he breathed, a thin layer of mist condensed from the oxygen mask.

Gu Quan's dark eyes were like Jiang Xuan, and his long eyelashes were fluttering, and he didn't seem to be very happy.

Chu Wei, who was stirring porridge beside the bed, froze for a while, and shook his head after a while: "What do you think?" Mommy has her own things to do, because she hasn't finished it yet, so she didn't come to see Xiaoyi, if Xiaoyi doesn't want Mommy to worry, what should she do? ”

There was a faint smile in the corner of Chu Wei's eyes, and he looked a little bitter.

A child is really a thing that can change people's personalities, before Xiaoyi, he once thought that he hated children, but since the first time he saw the little him in the doctor's hand, his heart seemed to be filled with something.

It was his and Jiang Juan's child.

"You should take care of your illness!" Xiao Yi pursed his mouth and motioned to Chu Wei to feed him the porridge in his hand: "I still have to eat more, I will grow strong, and I can protect Mommy in the future!"

"Daddy, when I'm okay, can you take me to Mommy, she's too busy to see Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi can go to see her......" A trace of joy flashed in the boy's black pupils, and he looked at Chu Wei with a smile, making Chu Wei a little distracted for a while.

The child's smile is always innocent and flawless, and Xiaoyi's milky answer is as sweet as a glass of candy that is about to melt, making it easy for people to forget some troubles.

"Okay, Daddy promises you."

Since Xiaoyi was admitted to the hospital again, he has been pushing off his work to accompany the child, in fact, Xiaoyi is very smart, he seems to be able to sense that there is an inexplicable rejection of the word mommy at home, so when he was at home, he never cried to find his mother.

But it's always a child, and when the body is uncomfortable, the first thing that comes to mind is the mother.

Chu Wei flushed his face with cold water, trying to calm himself down, and Dr. Gu's words and Xiao Yi's laughter swirled in his ears, lingering.

He flicked his wet hair, feeling a little embarrassed in the mirror.

Xiaoyi must live a good and healthy life, and the only thing he can do now is to find Jiang Juan as soon as possible.

Jiang Juan had just come back from country M, and she didn't know much about domestic designers, and she didn't bother to meet them one by one, so after admiring the works of several designers, she simply pulled her assistant to find a corner and sit down.

"That should be the designer Evans, who just won the prize in the European design competition a few days ago, and his work style is more retro, which is a strong opponent." The assistant sat beside Jiang Wan, and the rim of the wine glass was slightly sideways.

Jiang Juan raised her eyes to look over, a man in a burgundy suit was standing in the center of the hall, raising a glass and chatting with someone, looking at it from her angle, she could only vaguely see the man's side face, and the shining stud on his left ear.

Looking back, Jiang Wan shook the wine glass in her hand, and the dark red wine shimmered in the light, reflecting on her face, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"Is that you?" Jiang Juan stared at the wine glass boredly, but someone walked over beside him, just blocking the light, this voice sounded a little familiar.

Xiao Kaiyan?

Jiang Wan raised his eyes expressionlessly, just taking the surprised expression of the woman opposite into his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Kaiyan stared at her carefully with a pair of big eyes, and a moment of panic flashed in her eyes.

Isn't she missing? I haven't found it for five years, so how can it be found at a design competition banquet now?

"Miss Xiao......" Although Jiang Juan was also a little surprised, she didn't show it, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked an elegant arc: "Oh no, I said it wrong, it should be Mrs. Chu."

The woman opposite was wearing a short silver sequined skirt, her long hair was scattered casually on her shoulders, and her fair complexion and convex figure matched with this silver, but it didn't look cliché.

Xiao Kaiyan smiled awkwardly when she heard this, but she didn't deny it.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here......" Xiao Kaiyan sat down, her eyes drifted over Jiang Wan's face, and she said lightly.

I haven't seen her for five years, her changes are not a little bit, Jiang Juan painted exquisite dinner party makeup, a red long dress outlined her bumpy figure, the V-neck design is just right, elegant and charming, just sitting in the corner, I can't help but attract everyone's attention.

"I haven't seen you for almost five years......" Jiang Juan put down the wine glass, and the crisp sound of the glass colliding made Xiao Kaiyan suddenly come back to his senses.

Jiang Juan glanced at the front hall, and his eyes fell back on her: "I have been working abroad all these years, and recently the domestic branch participated in this design competition, and the headquarters arranged for me to come over to lead the team."

Jiang Juan has also learned a lot outside over the years, she feels that she has nothing to hide from Xiao Kaiyan, but there is nothing to reveal, she summed up her life in the past five years in three or two sentences, and also informed her of her problems by the way.

"So that's the case......" Xiao Kaiyan smiled and nodded, and the surprise in her heart didn't ask again.

I haven't seen him for five years, Jiang Juan has become a designer, and this time he came back not for feelings or children, but because of work?

She has not heard from her all these years, even Ruiou, who she once wanted to recapture, has not been able to keep her, but she did not expect that after she left Huaguo, she actually studied design, and now, they meet again in this way.

Xiao Kaiyan didn't say anything on her face, but she couldn't help but muttered in her heart, she has not been in the designer industry for a short time, and she knows a little about international current affairs and designers related to clothing design.

It's just that...... How come she has never heard of Jiang Juan internationally, not even her design exhibits?

"Then I have to wish you well in advance in this competition." Xiao Kaiyan said nicely in the scene, so she was naturally not stingy, and expressed her goodwill to Jiang Juan with a smile.

However, she is not worried about what threat Jiang Juan will pose to her, a designer who is not well-known in the international arena is not enough for her to take it to heart.

"Thanks, what about you, you're here on behalf of the company?" Jiang Juan smiled and bowed, she also knew some of the more well-known designers in China recently, Xiao Kaiyan was engaged in the design industry, she had heard a thing or two, but she didn't expect her to participate in this design competition.

For some things, time will indeed dilute, those things five years ago, whether it was painful and sad, or happy and happy, slipped away with time, and Jiang Juan didn't seem to want to remember the grievances and grievances between the two.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, each maintaining their own etiquette, and to outsiders, it was like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Time flies quickly, and the banquet is coming to an end unconsciously, although Jiang Juan doesn't like to chat much, but Xiao Kaiyan doesn't seem to be repelled by this awkward way of chatting, the two chatted from design inspiration to design style, until Xiao Yi came to the dinner to pick up Jiang Juan.

"Brother?" Xiao Kaiyan saw Xiao Yi and was a little surprised by the purpose of his coming here.

"How's the design of the participating products?" Xiao Yi smiled at Jiang Wan, not just out of concern or something, and asked Xiao Kaiyan.

Xiao Kaiyan was obviously a little stunned, and only after a while did she suddenly reply: "Our design team is internationally renowned, and we have the chance to win."

The two didn't say a few words, Xiao Kaiyan was called away by the assistant, the dinner was about to end, some people left one after another, Jiang Juan was also bored, and Xiao Yi exchanged a few words, and then left with him.

Xiao Kaiyan looked away from others, and as the two disappeared from the door, a feeling of uneasiness inexplicably rose in her heart.

The people who came to participate in this competition are basically internationally famous designers, and their abilities are also comparable, if Jiang Juan has no strength, is it a casual decision to make such an important competition to enhance the company's image and status, and hand it over to Jiang Juan to practice?

And if she is extraordinary, how can she not be famous in this designer industry?

The more Xiao Kaiyan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she hurriedly dialed the assistant's phone:

"Angle, help me check someone."
