042: I'm your daughter, aren't I?
His lonely face was colorless in the bright light overhead, and his eyes stared at her faintly, with a hint of arrogance on his brows.
The heartbeat leaked for no reason, and the elevator doors closed again and began to descend slowly.
Xihe retracted her eyes in a daze, and was about to turn sideways to the back, but she didn't know who squeezed down in front of her, she didn't stand still, and was hit to the side at once.
Just when she thought she was going to hit herself, a strong force grabbed her arm in time.
Xihe steadied his feet in a panic, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when the hand that was holding her arm loosened, but suddenly stretched out and hugged her shoulder.
Before Xi He could react, the whole person had already been taken into his arms.
His forehead slammed heavily on his chest, which was as hard as iron, and his eyes were starry, but Lu Yan didn't let go of his hand.
Someone behind her occupied the position where she was about to retreat just now, and in the small space, the figure was crowded, and she didn't notice this scene in the corner.
When he finally eased up, Xi He raised his head, his eyes were bright and shiny due to the light, and Lu Yan's cold and indifferent face was reflected in the eyelets.
He didn't look at her, his calm eyes stared straight ahead, but the hand buckled on his shoulder was not loose, and the heat of his palm penetrated into his skin through a thin layer of shirt.
Xi He gently grabbed the clothes on his chest with both hands, and somehow thought of the picture that was colored by the afterglow of the setting sun and sprinkled with the dense forest in the mountains. He grabbed her chin domineeringly and restrainedly, and the lingering kiss brought an intoxicating and indulgent taste...... When I think about it now, I still can't control my heart palpitations.
It was probably the last beauty that remained in this life, and Xi He's hand holding the hem of his shirt was reluctant to retreat, as if he could seize the time that slipped away from his fingertips.
But time will pass eventually, leaving no room for error.
The elevator opened with a "bang", and the people who squeezed in went out in twos and threes.
Xihe let go of his hand and took a step back.
He turned his head to look at her, and she couldn't understand the look on his calm face, and she didn't have time to understand, so she only whispered, "Thank you." β
Then he turned around and got out of the elevator without looking back.
The texture of the rubbing of the clothes in the palms is still there, and when I walked out of the hotel, the cold wind carried the chill and blew on my cheeks.
Xi and a clever person completely sobered up.
The smell of clarity was blown away by the wind, and the loneliness swept away again, and the beauty she thought of was only for a moment, and the rest was the distant and unreachable lovesickness!

When I arrived at the hospital, the hallway was silent.
Xi He found his grandmother's ward well, and his unexpected mother and Yu Ziqiang were also there.
I haven't come to visit my grandmother for a few days, and the people in the ward have already changed, and there is only one old grandfather sleeping against the wall.
They were talking about something, and their faces were not good-looking.
Xihe pretended not to see it, she walked over, and a smile appeared a little stiff on her face: "Grandma, why haven't you rested so late?" β
"Isn't that waiting for you!" The old lady patted her place beside her and motioned for her to come and sit.
Xihe obviously felt that the old lady was unhappy, she stepped forward and sat down, "I've been too busy in the past two days to come and visit you, you ...... now"
"Don't give me these excuses." The old lady interrupted her impatiently, she moved, looked at her and asked seriously: "Xihe, let me ask you, is it true that you said on TV that you want to demolish the left bank of the flowers?" β
Xihe glanced at Zhao Daiyun, she leaned on the bedside table, and turned her head to the side.
Yu Ziqiang was standing not far away, playing with his mobile phone, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
It's just that the reason why my grandmother asked so straightforwardly is that I am afraid that my mother has told my grandmother everything before.
"Demolishing and building schools, that's the decision from above." Xihe explained.
"But why did you participate in the meeting?" The old lady asked in a calm voice.
Xihe retracted her gaze, she lowered her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged: "I am the boss's secretary, and I speak on behalf of the boss." β
"Xihe," the old lady grabbed her hand: "Your mother told me, your boss is a foreigner, isn't it?" The last time you went back to the left bank to inspect the flowers, you got out of the famous car, and all the neighbors around you saw it. What secretary, you say it nicely, you tell the truth to your grandmother, is that really your boss? β
"It's not the boss, what's that?" Xihe looked at the old lady inexplicably and asked.
The old lady sighed, and she looked away: "Grandma doesn't care what you young people do outside, but Xihe, the most important thing for girls is to have self-respect and self-love." Last time you told your grandmother that you had a fiancΓ©, but that person was actually the foreigner, right? He is a big boss, and it is good for him to coax you to marry you, but grandma is worried that you will be taken on a detour. β
Xihe's eyes widened in disbelief, she wondered if she was hallucinating, it was hard to believe that the old lady could say such a thing.
What is the great fallacy of the world? Such an absurd reason can also be pulled out by them......
Xihe stood up, she didn't know if it was because of the stimulation of "self-esteem and self-love", or because of the old lady's speculation, the disappointment, anger, and indescribable resentment that welled up in her chest...... In the end, only a sneer remained.
Xi He was extraordinarily calm, and his tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations: "What do you think I have with my boss?" β
The old lady said: "It's not that I think, the boss's secretary on TV is not the second wife or the third child, Xihe, grandma doesn't want you to go the wrong way, let's be upright." β
Before the words were clear, the answer was already forthcoming.
But when he said it clearly, Xihe felt that his endurance was not as good as he imagined...... Her blood seemed to flow backwards, and her limbs were so cold that she couldn't feel it.
It was very quiet in the ward, and she couldn't tell if the old man next door was asleep, but this family conversation, in front of outsiders, was really like a loud and loud slap in the face.
She asked in a soft voice, "In my grandmother's heart, am I such a person?" β
Zhao Daiyun turned her head, she straightened up: "It's not your grandmother who thinks like this, those neighbors who see it, do you know what they talk about?" β
"Xihe, you had leukemia at the beginning, which is a terminal disease that cannot be cured. But after that incident, you went to the United States, where did you come from to survive? If you have a degree or not, you can hardly walk when you are sick, how can you cure yourself? Don't blame your family for thinking too much, we don't want you to go the wrong way again and bury yourself. β
"How do you bury yourself?" Xihe's eyes fell on Zhao Daiyun's face, a face that had been sharpened by the years and full of wrinkles, and it was almost impossible to find the motherly son who gave her warmth and coaxed her to sleep when she was a child.
She turned her head sideways, laughed softly, and muttered in a tone like the wind: "If you have a terminal illness, you should die in a foreign country and be buried in a foreign country, so it is in line with your imagination, right?" β
"I, I-who cursed you dead?" Zhao Daiyun said angrily: "Your grandmother is worried that you can't know people clearly, if your fiancΓ© is really your boss, he fell in love with the flowers on the left bank as soon as he came, do you think this is reasonable?" Xihe, ah......"
What else Zhao Daiyun said later, Xihe couldn't hear it clearly, her heart was like a ship floating on the sea, swaying and floating, and there was no place for her anywhere.
She thinks they always like preconceived ideas, and then put those undoubted unbearable things on her.
Xihe is very calm, probably the coldness of family affection has made her accustomed to it, and she can even control her temper without collapsing and releasing those grievances.
She lowered her eyes and suppressed the bitterness that overflowed her throat, and her lips opened lightly: "I'm really embarrassed, no matter how unbearable you imagine me, but that's not the truth!" β
She raised her head to meet Zhao Daiyun's eyes, and a mocking sneer hung on her cheeks: "I don't have anything to do with the boss...... Illicit relationship, didn't you ask me how I survived? That's because of good fate, I met Xu Youbai, and he went to find bone marrow for me to treat my illness...... Once, when I was abandoned by you and had nowhere to go, I met him...... That's why I'm alive! β
"And he's my fiancΓ© now...... That's what it's like to be in the U.S.! β
"As for the demolition plan on the left bank, there will be compensation in the future, these are all things decided from above. You don't have to pour dirty water on me just to persecute me, so ......" she smiled indifferently: "I'm also your daughter, aren't I?" β
With that, she didn't look at them again, and turned and walked towards the door.
With her hand on the doorknob, Xihe paused, thinking of something, and she looked back at the three people in the ward.
"I don't remember if it was three years ago or four years ago...... After I was cured, I saved 30,000 yuan and sent it back to my family by selling on the streets of the United States...... The account number that Ziqiang gave me. You should have received it, in fact, I am not as wolf-hearted as you think, and I was really expelled from my home, cold-blooded and ruthlessly cut off from contact...... It's you! β
After saying this, she clearly saw Zhao Daiyun and the old lady's surprised eyes, Yu Ziqiang raised his head from his mobile phone, and a moment of panic flashed on his face......
Xihe walked out, and the door was closed, completely blocking everything.
She didn't leave immediately, she lowered her head, trying to smile and encourage herselfβnone of that, but the corners of her mouth were hard to pull apart.
It's not the first time I've experienced wanton gossip, but every time it makes people feel like they've been stabbed in the heart with a knife and tumbling and stirring.
The pain that even her soul trembled made her suddenly want to hide and leave......
If she doesn't leave, will she still have the life to live?
ββ
In the fast-paced life of modern times, it doesn't matter what you've been through, just pause and give you a chance to rest and breathe.
Zhang Yi transferred all the information about the flowers on the left bank to Xihe, and even Louis was sorting out the relevant matters, seizing the opportunity to teach her some experience and the ability to deal with emergencies.
Mu Yi Xiansheng is much more relaxed than recently, but by chance, when Xihe went to send him information, he unexpectedly heard him suppressing his anger and losing his temper.
Zhang Yi told her that several shareholders in the United States were a bit difficult and did not seem to agree with Mr. Mu Yi's transfer of business to China!
On the battlefield of business, every word and deed will change the direction of everything in the future.
Xihe tried his best to do his job well.
For two days in a row, she followed a group of people to the left bank to listen to their planning goals, record the plan, and then go back and report to Mr. Mu Yi one by one.
I just walked out of the hotel today and was looking for a place to eat, when the phone rang in my bag.
Xihe took it out and looked at it, and when she saw the name that she had specially remarked, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise and bend.
She answered, and Lu Yan's cold and warm voice came, and asked her directly, "Where are you?" β
"Just got out of the hotel." Xihe said subconsciously.
He couldn't refuse with a hint of command: "Wait there." β
Xihe wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he hung up the phone, which was very in line with his vigorous and resolute image.
She looked at the phone and smiled dumbly, he never said the same, Xihe didn't know what the consequences would be if he refused him, but it seemed that he couldn't refuse every time.
Lu Yan arrived quickly, barely a few minutes.
When Xihe got into the car, he asked him curiously, "Are you nearby?" β
"Hmm." He reacted very coldly, and when he turned his head to look out the window, he asked her, "What do you want to eat?" β
Xihe thought for a while: "Whatever." β
