20. Different Positions (Part I)
I still haven't avoided Zhou Yu.
The next day was Saturday, and I was on vacation, but I made an appointment with Xiao Dong to meet the plaintiff in the hospital.
I went downstairs at about nine o'clock, and when I got downstairs, I saw Zhou Yu's dark green off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.
His heart flashed, and he walked over to find Zhou Yu sitting in the driver's seat smoking a cigarette. He spotted me immediately, but he didn't have the same urgency as yesterday, just stared at me silently.
Faintly felt, but still asked: "Why didn't you call me when you came over?" ”
He glanced at the briefcase I was carrying over my shoulder, and instead of answering, he asked, "Where are you going?" I muttered, "There's something to go out about." ”
"Come on, I'll send you."
Seeing that I didn't move, the corners of his mouth raised a mocking arc: "Can't you let me know?" ”
took his mobile phone in front of him and sent a text message to Xiao Dong: Something.
Then he opened the door and sat in the car, and when the car started slowly, he asked again: "Where are you going?" ”
It is impossible to go over to the hospital for the time being, and I don't want to deal with Zhou Yu, so I simply asked directly: "Is there something wrong with you coming to me?" But he didn't seem to be going to give me a bright message: "I can't look for you if it's okay?" ”
I also kept my mouth shut.
There was silence all the way, and when the car stopped, I looked out the window with surprise in my eyes.
Zhou Yu actually brought me to the hospital.
I turned off the engine and pushed the door to get out of the car, and I only paused and went down. In fact, he already knew it in his heart at this point, and the two departments were originally ventilated, so it was not surprising that he got the news there.
When we entered the inpatient building together, there were a lot of people in the elevator, squeezing me into the corner, and Zhou Yu crossed his arm to take me into his arms to prevent being squeezed and bumped into. When the floor arrived, I had to squeeze out of the elevator.
He withdrew his arm, and there was a momentary emptiness in his waist.
When I followed him to the ward area, there was a lot of commotion in the corridor, and some people who didn't have beds pulled up a wire bed in the corridor and hung water there. There are many family members of patients who come and go, soaking in water, chattering, and crying.
Zhou Yu stopped in front of the door of the last ward in the hallway, looked back at me, and then turned and walked in.
A woman's excited voice immediately came from inside the room: "Director Zhou, you are here again, sit down quickly." ”
It was a three-person room, all three beds were full, and a square stool was placed in front of the bed. The two beds at the door were full of elderly people, each with a family member accompanying them. On the innermost bed lay a pale young man, his head covered with gauze up to his eyes, and a cast on his right arm.
should be the plaintiff in the wounding incident, named Li You.
The woman with a full forehead of wrinkles was probably Li You's mother, and she stood there looking restrained and at a loss, always wanting to give up the square stool for Zhou Yu to sit on. From the conversation, it was clear that Zhou Yu should have been here more than once.
After a few words of greeting, Mother Li found me: "This is ......"
Zhou Yu introduced: "This is my lover. ”
……
From wife to daughter-in-law to lover, I heard three kinds of names for me from Zhou Yu's mouth.
Mother Li immediately came up to shake hands with me, and her hands were held by her hands and said with emotion: "Zhou Suo is really a good person, our family Xiaoyou is thanks to Zhou Suo's advance payment of medical expenses this time, otherwise it will ......"
I was slightly surprised, both of them have been financially independent since they got their certificates, and he mentioned that he wanted to give me the salary card, but I didn't. So Mother Li really didn't know about this.
"Mom, Director Zhou didn't even drink saliva when he came."
The boy on the bed interrupted his mother, and it was only then that Mother Li let go of my hand. Mother Li immediately wanted to pour water from the cup on the bedside table, but was stopped by Li You and asked her to ask the counter to get a disposable cup.
After Mother Li left, Li You looked at us apologetically and said, "Don't care, my mother is like that." ”
I frowned, this kid has a maturity beyond his years. Compared with Zhang Jiahao who I saw at the police station yesterday afternoon, I can only describe it as one from heaven to one from the earth.
Zhou Yu chatted with Li You for a few words, asked about the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and left after Li's mother came back.
When he got back to the car, he didn't rush to start, but turned his face to look at me and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"What do you think?"
"After seeing Li You's situation, do you still think you want to help Zhang Jiahao's kid defend his crimes?"
