Chapter 240: Major Decisions (1st Update)
The three of them walked to the side of the car, Chen Xi opened the car door, and said, "You guys get in the car first, and I'll call Xiao Yan." ”
Su Xiaoran sat in the co-pilot's seat, Qiqi sat in the back seat, as soon as the two sat down, Qiqi grabbed a packing box on the seat, touched the heat, she was surprised, opened it and looked: "Who bought this takeaway, why don't you eat it?" ”
"Maybe I bought it on Chenxi Road." Su Xiaoran also glanced back, not very concerned.
Hua Yan had been hanging around, and Chenxi called him back with a phone call. As soon as he got in the car, Qiqi felt weird, and the strange thing was that she clearly wanted to see him when she didn't see him, but why did he appear, and she felt awkward?
"Let's find a restaurant nearby, everyone hasn't eaten much." Chenxi said and started the car. Su Xiaoran pointed to the packing box on the back seat and asked, "Didn't you buy something just now?" ”
Chen Xi remembered that Xia Lin had handed him something to eat just now, and he didn't want to deceive Su Xiaoran, so he said it directly. "That's Charlene."
"Oh." Su Xiaoran responded quickly, as if trying to create a feeling that she was not surprised, but Qiqi still understood her mind and unnaturalness.
"How did Charlene come up with the idea of buying you food to eat, it seems that you are walking quite close."
"She bought it, I just bought it, I just didn't eat it." Chenxi replied very simply.
"Good things, why don't you eat them, waste them." Su Xiaoran turned around and took the box, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.
Without laughing twice, he sneezed loudly, as if he was thinking about the punishment of being caught. Chen Xi looked nervous: "Why did you catch a cold?" ”
"You're embarrassed to ask, she got drenched in the rain in order to go out to find you, but fortunately she was sent back by a kind handsome guy."
Qiqi shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic, Huayan next to her knew her virtue, although she felt that such Qiqi was very cute, but she also had to stand firmly on the side of Chenxi, so she relieved him of a sentence:
"Xiaoxi is thinking about things alone in the office and forgets the time."
"Our family Su Xiaoran is stupid, as soon as Chenxi can't be contacted, he is afraid that something will happen to him, and he will only be relieved if he sees the living."
"Okay Qiqi, how can I be so exaggerated, shut your mouth quickly."
Su Xiaoran didn't want Chenxi to feel that she cared too much about him, so she scolded Qiqi angrily, and secretly observed Chenxi's reaction, but she didn't expect Chenxi to just turn her head to look at her, unguarded, the eyes of the two people were intertwined, there was light in Chenxi's eyes, Su Xiaoran hurriedly moved away, but her heart jumped up and down.
"Let's eat here, close to the hospital, and the dumplings you like to eat."
Everyone looked out with Chenxi's voice, and saw a Northeast noodle restaurant standing in front of them, Su Xiaoran and Qiqi got out of the car, Huayan followed behind Qiqi, and wanted to hold her hand several times but always hesitated to stretch out her hand again.
Qiqi had no resistance in front of the delicious food, and happily took Su Xiaoran's hand and walked in quickly, the four of them sat down, ordered two fried dumplings, one steamed dumpling, and four bowls of noodles, which was enough.
"You just said they want to force you to hand over your shares?" Su Xiaoran was concerned about Chenxi's affairs, Chenxi nodded, and said: "It's not so easy, I suspect that the matter of this hospital, including your mother's car accident, may have been arranged by the same person, now that we are in the open, it is best not to panic first, I have already asked someone to investigate secretly, and there will be results soon." ”
"It's great if that's the case, I always feel like my right eyelid is beating non-stop these days, and I don't dare to sleep at night, I always feel like something is going to happen."
"You're too worried, you want me to see, this matter needs to be solved, just take the nest of the old thief Qiao? He likes the dark, so let's just do it openly and him off! ”
Qiqi was so excited that his hand accidentally knocked over the tea cup in front of him, and in an instant the tea flowed out of the table, Hua Yan quickly took a tissue and wiped it, while muttering: "It's really uneasy, it's always a big grin." ”
"I'd love to." Qiqi said a word, but his face seemed to be a little red, Su Xiaoran and Chen Xi saw the clue, and they just pretended to be nothing.
"I sent a message to a friend saying that the video was provided anonymously by a woman in her twenties."
Chenxi looked at his phone and said. Su Xiaoran quickly searched in her mind for the appearance of the people she knew who were in their twenties and might have framed her, but at present, it seemed that the few people who were embarrassing her everywhere were all agreeing to the conditions, who were they?
"Don't have any more details?" Su Xiaoran was unwilling and asked.
Chen Xi shook his head, "Generally, it is difficult to find out their information if this kind of anonymity is used, unless it is ......"
"Unless what?" Su Xiaoran's eyes widened.
"Unless you buy off the reporter, check the ID of the person who provided the video."
Hua Yan took Chenxi's words and explained.
"There's another way." Everyone looked at Chenxi, he looked at Su Xiaoran, and his tone was a little hesitant, "We can ask the hospital to give you a monitoring record of the night your mother fell, as long as you can see the record, you can know who entered the ward and pushed your mother down." ”
"But...... How do you know if the video on the news is not provided by the hospital? ”
"No way, hospitals have always been more than less, and it's not good for them to get the video out. As long as we can convince the hospital to find common interests, they will be willing to help us. ”
Chenxi's analysis is very reasonable, but now the question is, because of Su Xiaoran's negligence, they have already formed a bond with the hospital, will the hospital still be willing to cooperate with them?
"There it is!" Qiqi slapped the table, shaking the dishes and chopsticks. "Su Xiaoran, don't you know that Gu ...... North? Why don't you just ask him for help? ”
"I only have one side to him, and besides, he is also newly appointed, where can he manage so much?"
"Gu Bei? The one who took you back to the hospital? "Chenxi has only recovered until now. Su Xiaoran nodded, lowered his head and drank his drink, thinking about other things.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, there has to be a solution to things, right?"
Qiqi was discouraged, and there was a breath in his heart that he couldn't get out, as long as he turned his grief and anger into appetite, he swept away the remaining dumplings.
"Shall I go back and ask if there are any acquaintances in the hospital?" Hua Yan didn't say much tonight, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was because of Su Xiaoran's presence.
"Thank you."
Su Xiaoran's voice floated across the water like fallen leaves, and the smile when she looked at Hua Yan was also far-fetched.
"Then let's go back first, your mother will rest at this point."
Chen Xi looked at the watch on his wrist and urged. A few people walked out of the restaurant, and Su Xiaoran looked back at Hua Yan and Qiqi who were walking behind him.
"It's not too early, you guys go back first."
"No, I'll keep vigil for the next few days."
"You, the one I don't worry about the most is you. Go back, Huayan, take care of Qiqi for me. ”
A cool breeze blew, and Su Xiaoran reached out and stroked the hair in front of Qiqi's forehead, as natural as before. Qiqi stuck out his tongue, as if he had escaped from the battle.
"Then I'll go back, don't blame me."
"I'm going to blame you for your ramblings!"
Qiqi giggled, warm and innocent like a child. Chen Xi also said goodbye to Hua Yan, and the two returned to the car, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask with doubts in his heart: "You acquiesced in the relationship between the two of them?" ”
"What do you mean by my acquiescence, as if I am very domineering and can be the master of Qiqi."
"Isn't it? Ever since I knew you, Qiqi has been listening to you, although on the surface she protects you in everything, but in fact she is still quite afraid of you, no, this is not called fear, it should be called ...... Care about? ”
Chen Xi couldn't find a good wording, so he frowned and thought about it carefully. Su Xiaoran was amused by him, and explained while reminding him to pay attention to driving: "Qiqi has been watched by her family since she was a child, and she has no freedom, so when she grows up, she always likes to show a casual and free appearance in front of outsiders, in fact, she is very afraid of loneliness and not being understood." I'm different, I've always been happy. ”
Su Xiaoran's voice suddenly slowed down. She thought of her father, who was alone at home and could never get up again, and of her mother, who was lying in the hospital, and perhaps she had been too happy before, and now these tribulations would find her.
Chen Xi knew that she was sad again, so the hand holding the steering wheel was free, and gently held her cold palm, although there were no words, although Su Xiaoran at this moment was the greatest comfort.
……
Su Xiaoran realized that going to work in the company now was not the best way for her to hit the other party, and at the same time, it was also an invisible pressure on Chenxi.
She doesn't want that, don't put any pressure on him. After a night in a hospital bed, she became more and more convinced, and when she woke up in the morning, she told her mother what she was going to do.
Su's mother was silent for a long, long time, she was very surprised by her daughter's decision, but she also knew that her daughter would not stand idly by if something happened to Chenxi.
"You've really decided, and Mom doesn't have anything more to say. It's just that...... The Hua family is not a simple family, if you face them, you must be prepared to agree to any request from them at any time. I'm afraid they'll make it hard for you. ”
Su's mother said, lowered her head, and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, Su Xiaoran took her hand, pretending to be relaxed:
"Mom, it's okay, no matter how bad they are, they just kicked me out of the house, or they didn't help, I always have to fight for a chance for Chenxi. He was now embattled, and only she could save him. If I still care about my so-called self-esteem and face, that is real cowardice. ”
Su's mother raised her head, knowing that once her daughter made a good decision, she would not look back, so she looked at her with blurred eyes, looked at the poor daughter who was brought up by herself, thinking about her troubled fate, her heart was sour, but her face was smiling, "Mother supports you in whatever decision you make, just remember that you are happy." ”
