Chapter 244: The Gathering (1st Update)
As soon as the three of them entered, Su's father, who heard the sound, let out a whining sound, and only after listening carefully did he hear that he was calling Su's mother's nickname. Su's mother turned her wheelchair with both hands, and she couldn't wait to rush into the room immediately. Su Xiaoran and Qiqi followed, and a woman in her thirties walked out of the room.
"Mrs. Sue is back."
The voice is gentle, and the face looks white, quite blessed. Su's mother answered, and she was anxious to see Su's father. Su Xiaoran learned that the woman was the nurse found by Chenxi to take care of Su's father, named Liu Hong, who was also a local.
"Thank you for these days."
Su Xiaoran looked at the cleanliness in the room, and knew that Liu Hong had also cleaned the room. Liu Hong smiled peacefully, not taking it seriously.
"These are all things I should do, Mr. Chen paid me a salary, and I should do a good job."
Su Xiaoran asked Liu Hong to rest for a while, and she entered the room with Qiqi, watching her mother sitting on the edge of the bed holding her father's hand, the two old men choked up and couldn't speak clearly.
Su's father saw Su Xiaoran, and his emotions were even more uncontrollable, and he shed two lines of tears on the spot, Su Xiaoran looked at her father's sunken cheeks, and felt very uncomfortable, these days, she has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Father Su showed his vulnerable side in front of his wife and daughter for the first time, and Qiqi was also moved, standing behind him and sneaking out of the corner of his eye.
"Dad, I will never let you leave in the future, our family of three will always be together, and you and Mom will be fine."
"Hmm!" Su's father has always been silent, and he only sighed when he held his daughter's hand. Mother Su on the side regained her senses and urged: "The children still have to go out to party at night, they were originally going to do it at home, but considering that it is inconvenient for you to rest, besides, I can't cook in this situation now, let them go out to play first, and then call them to come to the house for a gathering when I am healed!" ”
"Go ahead."
Father Su also saw Qiqi, and squinted at Qiqi with a pair of kind smiling eyes, "Qiqi is also here, I don't know if there is any fruit at home, Xiaoran will go and take a look." ”
"No need uncle, I don't eat, I have to keep my stomach to eat delicious food, Su Xiaoran said that I want to have a treat!"
"You're greedy!"
The heavy atmosphere was suddenly enlivened by Qiqi, and after a few more words, Su Xiaoran and Qiqi got up, and when they were about to go out, Su Xiaoran asked Liu Hong a few words: "Sister Liu, I've been troublesome to you these days, mainly because my father, my mother can take care of herself, I will ask Mr. Chen to give you a salary increase." ”
"No, you don't! Miss Su, don't be polite to me, the salary Mr. Chen gave me is already high enough, so you can rest assured! ”
Liu Hong sent Su Xiaoran and Qiqi out of the door, as soon as the two got in the car, Su Xiaoran immediately called Chenxi, Chenxi said that he had just set off from the company, and it was estimated that it would take about twenty minutes to arrive at the agreed place, Su Xiaoran quickly notified Gu Bei, and the two went to the restaurant happily, Hua Yan was already waiting there, what was unexpected was that there was a beautiful woman sitting next to Hua Yan, and as soon as she approached, she found that it was Charlene.
Qiqi's good mood was cleared by this scene, and he immediately pulled a face and was reluctant to approach. Charlene took the initiative to stand up with a gentle smile:
"Seventy-seven? We've met. ”
Charlene stretched out her hand, Qiqi ignored her, and looked at Hua Yan directly, all written on her face was your mother, what is going on.
Of course, Hua Yan understood Qiqi's character, so she hurriedly stood beside Qiqi and faced Xia Lin, "Xia Lin heard that we were going to have a party and wanted to come together." ”
"But as far as I know, this party should be to celebrate Su's mother's discharge from the hospital, right? Shouldn't it all be relatives who come? Qiqi really dared to say that he didn't even look at Charlene when he looked up.
Xia Lin was not angry, she still smiled gently, but turned to Su Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, I also went to the hospital on the day your mother had a car accident, I have always been very concerned about her situation, but the company has been too busy recently, you won't blame me for not visiting her old man, right?" ”
"Why, I am naturally happy that you can come."
Su Xiaoran said, quietly pulled the corner of Qiqi's clothes, Qiqi breathed out of his nostrils, stretched out his hand and pulled the stool, made a loud noise, sat down, and ignored anyone.
Seeing this, Hua Yan sat beside her obediently, Su Xiaoran made a gesture of invitation to Xia Lin, Xia Lin was really, really sat down in front of Hua Yan, and her expression was not affected at all.
At this time, the most embarrassing person is Su Xiaoran, Qiqi has always been the one with the most active atmosphere in the party, but she is unhappy now, the atmosphere is dark and oppressive all day long, and it makes people panic.
Hua Yan naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, but in fact, he was bitter in his heart, who knew that Charlene would suddenly pop out halfway and say that she wanted to attend a party together, and he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"How is the company lately?" Su Xiaoran remembered to ask Charlene something important.
"It's not good, Chenxi shouldn't have told you, right? The news you made a few days ago had a great impact on him, and many shareholders thought that he had damaged the image of the company's leaders, and held a special meeting for this matter. ”
Su Xiaoran's outstretched hand stopped, and after a pause, he reached out again and took a cup of hot tea and held it in the palm of his hand, saying that it was to warm his hands, but in fact, it was to hide his panic.
It turned out that Chenxi's situation was already so serious.
"Xiaoran, it seems that you don't know about this yet? I'm really damned, if Chenxi knew about it, he would definitely blame me, don't worry, Chenxi is so powerful, there must be a way to solve it. ”
Xia Lin added, Qiqi probably rested enough, and probably couldn't get used to seeing Xia Lin continue to be a demon, so he straightened his body and wanted to push out the originally small place.
"How could our family Su Xiaoran worry about such a thing? What storms and waves they haven't experienced? That is, those people who came from small places, thought it was a burning thing, and thought about running away. ”
As he spoke, he raised his slender and delicate fingers and carefully looked at the delicate patterns on his fingernails one by one.
Hua Yan coughed dryly, lowered his head and drank tea, since the two of them met, they were full of taste, and what they said was not sour or astringent, he could only treat himself as air.
"Chenxi is here."
Su Xiaoran saw Chenxi walk in from the door from a distance, and breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good if Xia Lin didn't come, but the whole atmosphere is not right now.
"Here!" Su Xiaoran was afraid that Chenxi would not be able to see it, so she got up and beckoned, Chenxi was holding a bottle of wine in her hand, and it seemed that she was planning to drink it well today.
"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoran took the Moutai in his hand and placed it on the table. Chen Xi took off his coat and rubbed his hands: "The traffic jam is serious." ”
"You don't mind if I'm coming to eat, right?" Xia Lin turned to look at Chenxi with a smile, Chenxi had seen her since she entered the door, so she had to adapt to it, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "Anyway, it's not my food, right, Xiaoyan?" ”
Seeing that Hua Yan's face was wrong, Chen Xi planned to come to the rescue, Hua Yan secretly gave him a special signal with his eyes, so he stretched out his hand and beckoned the waiter to order food, Su Xiaoran stopped: "There are still people who haven't come." ”
"Anyone else?"
Hua Yan is about to be scared to death, a Charlene is awkward to him, who else is coming.
Qiqi was aggrieved, and finally found a way to be angry, so he cleared his throat and said: "Of course there are still people, the most important guest tonight has not yet appeared, what are you anxious to be the protagonist?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Lin coldly, Xia Lin seemed to be born not afraid of a straightforward person like Qiqi, so she didn't take it to heart at all, she was still in a good mood and drinking hot tea, and Qiqi was about to be half angry.
"When will Gu Bei arrive?" Because of last night's 'gaffe', Chenxi planned to be more generous tonight, so he took the initiative to ask.
"It should be almost there, right? He drove, and I couldn't call him. ”
Su Xiaoran looked at the time, thinking that Gu Bei was almost there, so he stood up and said that he was going to meet him at the door, and Chen Xi followed and got up, "I'll go with you." ”
As soon as the two left, there was only an embarrassing trio left, Hua Yan's heart didn't know how anxious she was, Qiqi held her mobile phone and kept swiping the screen, but Xia Lin on the opposite side didn't sit at anything, straightened up, and smiled quietly at Hua Yan, so that Hua Yan didn't dare to raise her head.
"Xiao Yan can stand up."
Charlene suddenly said to Hua Yan.
"yes, that's great." Hua Yan didn't dare to speak loudly.
"She's been talking about waiting for when you will go to her house again, and the three of us will drink together again, and she didn't want to open the bottle of wine you brought last time."
"Last time? Have you ever had a drink together? Qiqi said something with a wicked smile on his face.
"On the day Xiaoyan was discharged from the hospital, I went to visit." Hua Yan didn't have time to blame Charlene for saying it, and just blindly explained it to Qiqi.
"What are you afraid of? I don't just ask, if you have the courage to do it, you have the courage to admit it. ”
Qiqi poured himself a cup of tea, whether it was hot or not, he poured it directly into his mouth, and his tongue was almost not burned, so he held his breath, not wanting to lose face in front of his rival, so he swallowed it hard, and his eyes instantly glistened with tears.
"Ahem."
Qiqi finally couldn't help it, pulled out a tissue to cover his face and coughed, his mother is really unlucky today, drinking water can burn people to death.
"Drink slowly." Hua Yan didn't notice it, and thought that Qiqi was drinking too fast, so she gently helped her back.
"You two are a good match." Charlene lowered her head and smiled, blew a few breaths of cool air on her own, and then took a sip.
at the doorway.
Gu Bei finally arrived, he deliberately changed into a grand clothes, a white suit and white leather shoes, and he was a prince charming, Su Xiaoran almost didn't recognize it.
"Kept you waiting, didn't you?" Gu Bei walked towards Su Xiaoran and Chenxi, looked at Su Xiaoran and smiled.
Su Xiaoran showed a shallow smile: "There is a bit of a traffic jam today, don't worry, let's go in the cold outside!" ”
