Chapter 23: Bad News
In the autumn, Zhou Xingle started his new journey as a college student, and the university is still in City A, and it is still very convenient to go to and from home.
couldn't reach Zhou Duchuan, Zhou Xingle still studied financial management, and the elective was also about economics, but he still secretly chose other disciplines.
What makes her happy is that Li Xiaoxiao also signed up for adult classes, and occasionally when the courses coincide, the two of them will also take classes together. The rest of the time, Li Xiaoxiao writes scripts at home.
After all, this kind of life didn't last long, and bad news came from far away from M Zhou--- Su Yan was injured, hemorrhage was being rescued, and life and death were unknown.
Zhou Yinan also set off for M Zhou as soon as he heard the news, but he didn't tell Li Xiaoxiao.
At night, Zhou Huaichen tossed and turned, irritable, and the wine bottles in the bedroom were all the amount he poured into his stomach, but he still felt uneasy, slammed the door and walked out of the bedroom.
I saw Zhou Duhai sitting in a wheelchair, the wheelchair was parked at the door of the living room, and his body was facing away from the living room.
"Dad?"
Zhou Huaichen shouted at him, and Zhou Duhai also heard the slight tremor in his tone, and said with a full breath, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Zhou Huaichen grabbed his hair, and when he got closer, Zhou Duhai smelled the smell of wine on his body.
"Ask you! Afraid of what? ”
Zhou Huaichen secretly looked at his father who was in a wheelchair, his face was hateful, he had never seen it, and forgot to answer for a while.
It wasn't until those fierce eyes were on him that he slowly spoke, "That woman is dead·····
"Your hand?"
Zhou Duhai then asked.
Zhou Huaichen panicked, "I just revealed that there is a beautiful woman with a hot personality, and she will definitely ······ their appetite."
Zhou Huaichen confessed little by little, but the middle-aged man in the wheelchair did not panic at all, and he was even more tormented and anxious.
"But Dad! I didn't know they were going to kill someone, Dad, you want to help me·····"
"Smack ~"
A crisp slap echoed in the living room in the early hours of the morning, silent, indifferent, and chilly.
"Rubbish! Isn't that woman still dead? ”
Zhou Huaichen drank wine, and he couldn't straighten his waist, so he drooped his head slightly.
"But the hospital has already issued a critical illness notice, and I won't live long."
Zhou Duhai glared at him disdainfully, "Zhou Yinan just passed tonight, you let your people star." ”
After speaking, operating the wheelchair and preparing to go back to the room, Zhou Huaichen suddenly turned around, directly blocking Zhou Duhai's whereabouts, as if he wanted to open it, and smiled at Zhou Duhai, "I know how to do it." ”
Zhou Duhai directly operated the wheelchair to bypass him, "No wonder your mother always looks down on you, what can you do with your alcohol?" ”
Followed by the sound of slamming the door hard, Zhou Huaichen stood in the empty living room, his naturally drooping hands, and couldn't help but clench into fists, because of the excessive strength, the back of his hands burst out with green tendons.
When Zhou Yinan rushed to M Zhou Hospital, Su Yan was already dying and was pushed out of the operating room.
At the door of the operating room, she saw Zhou Yinan's figure, just like a fish that had been out of the water for too long suddenly saw the sea, and her pale eyes were instantly covered with a layer of light.
The man always appeared with such a face, serious and calm, as if nothing had anything to do with him. Looking at the pale and weak Su Yan, Zhou Yinan still opened his legs and walked towards her step by step.
Approaching, Su Yan almost used all his strength, raised his hand to grab the man's wrist, Zhou Yinan gently withdrew, Su Yan could only hold the cuffs of his suit, because he was too excited, his cuffs were trembling.
"I beg you, help me take care of Su Tang, Uncle Wednesday's people are in M Zhou, he wants to use our mother and son to blackmail your father, they will definitely do it, now only you can save him!"
Zhou Yinan sneered, "I knew now, why bother at the beginning, you were so cool at the beginning?" ”
Su Yan shook his head, tears ran down the corners of his eyes, scratched his face, and finally fell on the back of his neck.
"It was really an accident, I didn't want to, I came into your house because I liked you·······"
Su Yan wanted to continue, but the man's eyes were too cold, she didn't have the courage to continue, and in the end she blurted out only one after another "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry········"
Not far away, a policewoman pulled Su Tang over.
Sure enough, it was a mother-son connection, and from a long distance, Su Tang recognized Su Yan who was lying on the hospital bed and was dying, let go of the female police officer's hand, and ran straight towards Su Yan.
Lying on the bed, tears like soybeans, snapping and falling, 'Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?' ”
Su Yan used his last strength and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Su Tang's face, "Tang Tang doesn't cry, mom is sleepy, it's time to sleep, you don't make trouble, or mom will be unhappy."
Su Yan glanced at the man on the side again, "Since you are here, it means that you are not an indifferent and ruthless person, right?" Tang Tang, please leave it to you, in this life, I am sorry for you, and your mother······"
Tears fell silently from the corners of his eyes.
That's it, with worry and unease.
Su Tang beside him cried, but he didn't cry out loud.
So, she should have left quietly.
Outsiders say that Zhou Yinan is fierce and terrible, because they don't understand Zhou Yinan's ruthlessness, let alone how affectionate and kind Zhou Yinan is.
In the end, Zhou Yinan brought Su Yan back to China and settled her in the western region, not far from City A, in an unknown area.
The day of the burial seemed to be unhappy, and on the day of the burial, the fog and light rain did not wet the clothes, but it was also covered with a layer of dampness.
Zhou Yinan stood in front of the tombstone, and Su Tang next to him knelt in a regular manner, straightening his waist and looking serious, without the slightest appearance of a milky child.
"Kowtow."
Su Tang did it one by one.
Zhou Yinan had no nostalgia, and after Su Tang kowtowed three times, he turned around and left directly.
Su Tang looked at Su Yan's photo on the tombstone, "Mom, I'll come to see you next time." ”
got up and chased after Zhou Yinan, after the man got into the car, Su Tang pulled the car door and sat in.
Without saying a word, he stared ahead, as if trying to remember the way he had come.
More than an hour later, the car stopped in front of an orphanage.
"There is a person who is very similar to you, my mother cries every day after seeing him, can you take me to meet him?"
Su Tang, who hadn't spoken all the way, suddenly spoke at this time.
His voice was so flat that Zhou Yinan's hand holding the seat belt suddenly paused for a second.
Seeing that the man in the driver's seat had no intention of opening, Su Tang unbuckled his seat belt and pushed the door to get out of the car by himself.
"You don't have to get out of the car, I'll go in by myself."
Zhou Yinan really didn't go in, sitting in the car and looking at the little figure, well-behaved and independent. Walk to the doorman's door, tiptoe, and clutch the windowsill hard.
Zhou Yinan stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly disappeared at the door of the orphanage.
When the doorman heard a movement, he came out of the security room, saw Su Tang standing outside the door alone, and hurriedly squatted down, "Little friend, are you alone?" ”
Su Tang Dynasty Zhou Yinan glanced in the direction he left, and there was no trace of Zhou Yinan's car for a long time.
"From now on, I'll be alone, I'll be an orphan."
The doorman uncle looked at his fleshy little face, and the clothes on his body did not look like a real orphan, and began to wonder and ask questions.
"Where's your mother?"
"Gone"
"And what about your dad?"
"I don't have a dad!"
The tone of this sentence was extremely heavy, and the doorman uncle was stunned, such a big temper?
Then I saw the dean hurriedly running here, and the doorman uncle beckoned, "Hey! Dean! ”
The dean ran too fast, and he couldn't stop panting when he stood firm.
"Did anyone send a child?"
The doorman uncle raised his chin, "No one sent the child, but this child came by himself, and he didn't look at any adults." ”
The dean crouched down and said, 'What's your name?' ”
"I don't have a name."
Zhou Yinan didn't say much, but there was only one very important sentence, which he followed with his heart.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and extinguished it, then said, "Do you want to start over?" ”
Since it's a fresh start, let's start over with the name.
The dean didn't say anything, bent down and pulled Su Tang into the house.
Lin Xifeng had just finished a foreign meeting, and when he was waiting for his flight at the airport, he took out his mobile phone and flipped through the news. He dialed the phone number of Sailsail and asked him to pick her up at the airport when the time came.
Domestic, the general manager's office of Xuyuan Group.
Zhou Huaichen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cigar in his hand, occasionally slowly exhaling a puff of cigarette and curling upward.
Then he turned around and walked to his desk and picked up the phone on his desk.
"Let's get started!"
After Lin Xifeng got off the plane, he was surrounded by a sudden crowd of people at the exit, and it was difficult to move an inch.
The eyes shining with the flash hurt, Lin Xifeng raised his hand to block it, and no one in the crowd reached out to pull Lin Xifeng's hand away and slapped it straight at her face.
A: "Mrs. Zhou, what do you think of Mr. Zhou's illegitimate child?" ”
B: "It is said that the illegitimate child is four years old, Mr. Zhou has been brutal to you for so long, hasn't he explained it to you before?" ”
C: "The Lin family was the leader of the industry 20 years ago, and now that you are here, do you have anything to say?" ”
There were too many people around, and they suddenly asked her like a bombardment.
But also heard the main words, "Mr. Zhou" and "illegitimate child"
Lin Xifeng straightened her hair, the corners of her mouth showed a hint of disdain, and her eyes went straight to the face of the man who had just pulled her.
"When did you stop using your mouth and hands in interviews?"
The camera "clicked" and "clicked" and flashed, and some people even focused the camera on Lin Xifeng and the man's faces. As a media person, I like these conflicting pictures.
Before Lin Xifeng could say the next sentence, a sudden bustling abnormal sound sounded in the crowd, and then the man's foot was stepped on by Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao and Hang Fan escorted Lin Xifeng away from left and right, Li Xiaoxiao's baseball caps and masks all went into battle, and those people couldn't shoot her face at all.
Those people just swarmed and chased after them, obviously by design.
Li Xiaoxiao was because an artist friend she had worked with before happened to be transferring at the airport in City A, and she happened to have time, so she drove to the airport to meet.
Who knew that before she arrived at the airport, she received a call from Zhou Xingle, saying if she could drive her to the airport, and only after asking did she know that the news suddenly broke out, and Lin Xifeng's flight happened to be today, and those reporters must have received the news. But the sail had already gone to the airport.
When I arrived at the parking lot, Li Xiaoxiao's car was parked at the exit, and Sailsail's car was on the other side. Li Xiaoxiao directly pulled Lin Xifeng into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly left the place.
I thought it would be good to leave the airport, but Li Xiaoxiao glanced in the rearview mirror, and several cars followed her car closely, and she could vaguely see the camera in the middle, straight at them, not sure if it was filming.
Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to step on the accelerator, and the speed was much faster.
Lin Xifeng, who had never said a word, glanced at the rearview mirror casually, and then at Li Xiaoxiao in the driver's seat next to her, her face was blocked by a hat and mask, but the bright eyes and the clean light emitted from the eyes couldn't be stopped.
Suddenly, Lin Xifeng laughed.
After Li Xiaoxiao heard the laughter, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's mobile phone rang suddenly, but the speed was too fast now, and she didn't dare to use it for two purposes.
As if seeing Li Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Lin Xifeng spoke, "I'll help you get it?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao laughed embarrassedly twice, "Thank you, that, the phone is in the pocket of your clothes." ”
Lin Xifeng took out her mobile phone from her pocket, clicked the speakerphone, and put the mobile phone slightly close to her ear, and heard Zhou Xingle's loud voice.
"Little sister-in-law, those people were stopped by us, don't be in a hurry to dump them."
Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Xifeng beside him, and replied to Zhou Xingle on his mobile phone, "Okay, I know." ”
"Well, that's it, sister-in-law, you drive well, hang up the phone!"
"Got it!"
The last sentence was said by Lin Xifeng, and after speaking, he put the phone back in Li Xiaoxiao's pocket.
"Are you going to the airport to pick up friends?"
Lin Xifeng asked, his voice was full of tenderness, not affected by what had just happened in the slightest.
Li Xiaoxiao instantly felt that he had a feeling of being in his ears, and even his back straightened unconsciously.
"Well, there is an artist friend who has worked with me before, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I just have time."
Li Xiaoxiao replied slowly.
The speed of the car decreased little by little, and Lin Xifeng's eyes were agile and Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was very relaxed.
"Did you see a friend?"
"I didn't have time."
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Lin Xifeng briefly.
In the end, Li Xiaoxiao drove the car directly to Zhou Yinan's apartment, Lin Xifeng didn't seem to be very familiar with him here, Li Xiaoxiao closed the car door and hurriedly stepped forward.
Aunties come over on time and leave in time after finishing work.
Pushing open the door, although Lin Xifeng was standing in front, she still waited for Li Xiaoxiao to enter the door before she followed. After arriving in the living room, Li Xiaoxiao realized that his conclusion was early.
Lin Xifeng walked straight to the kitchen, took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa.
Li Xiaoxiao was suddenly a little overwhelmed. The two of them had never been so alone at this moment.
"You're afraid of me, huh?"
Lin Xifeng suddenly spoke, and Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, no, it's just a little -- nervous."
Lin Xifeng smiled heartily, got up and pulled Li Xiaoxiao to sit beside him.
Even at the age of fifty, Lin Xifeng's maintenance is excellent, and the years seem reluctant to pass over her, her fingers are slender and white, and they can be broken like a baby.
Just brushed the ring on the ring finger of Li Xiaoxiao's right hand.
"When?"
