Chapter 35: Sudy's Past
In the afternoon, Su Xiao had been sitting in the office to revise the design of the red dress, and she wanted to submit it quickly. She added an invisible zipper to the side of the waistline and annotated the details and fabric.
At this time, she received a text message reminding her that the trade fair and quarterly bonuses had arrived. Su Xiao felt that the amount was considerable. She silently compared herself in her heart.
Lin Li walked over and whispered to her, "You know what? Huang Mengting heard that your prize was only a few thousand yuan less than hers, and her face turned green with anger. ”
Su Xiao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. The meaning is obvious, her attitude has nothing to do with me.
"She's against you everywhere, how can you be so calm? You've won this game! Although the bonus is not as much as her, the sales of 'Warm Winter' are definitely NO1. Lin Li looked at Su Xiao's uninterested appearance and was anxious for her.
"What do you want me to do? Have a good laugh? Su Xiao looked at Lin Li and said sincerely: "I feel bored doing this, I don't want to waste time and energy on some boring people and things." Of course, that doesn't mean I don't compete. Whether you win or lose, it is the result of your own efforts, so the joys and sorrows are only with yourself. Of course, you can share it with friends, how about I invite you to dinner with Qin Ying? Su Xiao didn't want to dwell on these, so he changed the topic with a smile.
"Okay, let's make an appointment someday. But I still warn you to be careful with her, I always feel that she has bad intentions towards you. Lin Li deliberately glanced at the direction of Huang Mengting's desk and said.
"Well, I see, I'll be careful. Go ahead and get busy with you. Su Xiao gave Lin Li a grateful look and said kindly.
After Lin Li left, Su Xiao settled down and continued to revise the design drawing. When she was about to get off work, she sent the finalized red dress to Qi Jiawen.
Because Ji Yunshen said that he had a party at night, Su Xiao drove back to Jinzhuo Mansion by himself. When Su Xiao went back, she found that Aunt Li was preparing dinner, and the room had become tidy and had obviously been tidied up.
"Aunt Li, you've worked hard." Su Xiao took off her coat and walked over to greet Aunt Li.
"Miss Su, let's get ready to eat. The soup is ready right away. Aunt Li was making soup, and she turned around and responded respectfully.
"Aunt Li, when did you come to clean, why haven't I seen you all the time?" Su Xiao has always wondered why the room is always so clean, she can tidy it up casually every time. And Ji Yunshen never let her go to the laundry again. Now that I think about it, maybe it was just a little trick on his part.
"I usually come over at three or five, and it's basically the time when you and the young master go to work." After Aunt Li finished speaking, she turned around and turned off the boiling soup.
"I'll help you." Su Xiao walked over and helped serve the soup and brought it out of the kitchen.
"Be careful, I'll do it." Aunt Li followed behind, a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, Aunt Li. I do these a lot. Sit down and dine with me. Su Xiao put the soup on the table, and naturally took the bowl to serve the rice.
"Miss Su, I was temporarily called over by the young master to cook dinner today, and there are other things in the old mansion. So I won't stay long. Aunt Li took off her apron, took it in her hand and said upright.
"Alright then, be careful on your way." Su Xiao sent Aunt Li out of the door.
After Aunt Li left, Su Xiao sat down for dinner.
At this time, Ji Yunshen sent a message asking her if she had eaten dinner.
Su Xiao took a photo of the meal and sent it to Ji Yunshen and replied, "I'm eating, the food is very fragrant." ”
The other party quickly replied to the message: "That's good, I'll go back later." ”
Su Xiao's heart was extremely sweet. It's a good feeling to have someone to think about.
After dinner, Su Xiao was a little bored. Something suddenly occurred to her. So she took out her phone and dialed a number. The bell rang for a while before it was connected.
"Hey, who's that?" The other party's voice was a little hoarse and he felt a little tired.
"Hello, Dr. Lu. I'm Su Xiao. Su Xiao greeted politely.
"Su Xiao, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Jingyu. Are you calling because of what you told me last time? Lu Jingyu cleared his voice and said.
He should still be in the hospital, and the background sound in the microphone is a little noisy, and the sound of doctors and nurses talking can be faintly heard.
"yes, I wonder if there's a way?" When Su Xiao asked this, the nervousness rose to his throat.
"Based on Sudi's basic situation and the results of previous examinations, I consulted many friends and asked experts from several hospitals to see them, but no one was sure. It's better to give you a few names and contact information, and if you take her over for a consultation, there may be hope. Before Lu Jingyu's words fell, someone had already called him to go for surgery.
"Okay, thank you. Disturbed. Su Xiao was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it in a steady tone.
Lu Jingyu said nothing and hung up in a hurry.
Su Xiao knew about Su Di's situation, and the possibility of healing was very slim. For so many years, her parents have taken her all over the country, and she has been to large and small hospitals, but there is no way to cure her.
The last time Ji Yunshen went to Hong Kong, she got together with Lin Li and Qin Ying once. At that time, Lu Jingyu went to pick up Qin Ying, and she told him in detail about Su Di's situation and asked him to help consult.
Lu Jingyu said that he had also learned some information from Su Ruina, and said that he would try his best to help.
However, Lu Jingyu never replied to her. Su Xiao felt that there might be no hope again this time. But she still wanted to make another confirmation, so she made this call.
Unexpectedly, it was indeed the same as expected, although she really didn't want to face such a result.
Soon, Lu Jingyu sent the departments and contacts of the two hospitals to her, and carefully left a message about the consultation time.
Su Xiao looked at the information and thought to herself that she would have to try again no matter what.
She looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Ji Yunshen hasn't come back yet. So she went into the bathroom and put a pool of water in it, and soaked in a hot bath.
Recently, Su Xiao and Ji Yunshen have been together and have had a very good time. She can feel Ji Yunshen's care and love for her more and more. So she has almost no desire to take a bath.
She was in a good mood today, but after the call, she was emo.
The bathroom was gradually filled with steaming steam, Su Xiao felt the warmth in his nose, and the whole person slowly relaxed.
She gently closed her eyes, held her breath, and slowly sank her whole body into the water. She imagined herself in some other time and space, ethereal, but free.
About half a minute later, Su Xiao accidentally choked on water. She struggled to surface. She gasped for breath, the feeling just now made Su Xiao think of death. There was an instinctive sense of fear in her heart, and she just wanted to grasp something. She gripped the handrails of the pool wall with both hands and struggled to prop herself up.
Before she choked on water, she seemed to see Su Di running towards her in the sea of colorful flowers, and shouted happily: "Sister Su Xiao, I can see these flowers." It's beautiful. ”
Su Xiao walked out of the bath and put on a bathrobe.
She went to the bar and poured a glass of wine.
Su Xiao stared at the pulp red in the clear wine glass, and her pupils reflected her unforgettable and painful past:
Sudy's eyes were blinded by an accident she experienced when she was two years old. At that time, Su Xiao and Su Rui were only in their teens.
Ten years ago, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a mischievous Suri set off fireworks in the courtyard. Su Xiao accompanied Su Di to play on the promenade. The brilliant fireworks attract little Sudy, and she is clamoring to find her brother. Su Xiao couldn't resist her, and was dragged by Xiao Sudi, who was still walking unsteadily, to Su Rui's side.
The colorful fireworks exploded in Suri's hands, swirling and blooming before disappearing in an instant.
Just when the three of them were having fun, an accident happened.
Sudy runs under Suri to get his fireworks. Because she was in the shadows, it was too late for Suri to find out. With a "poof", Sudi burst into tears, and fireworks splashed into her eyes.
All three of them cried in fright, and Suri threw down the half-burning fireworks and ran into the house.
Su Xiao calmed down and half-squatted and hugged Su Di to comfort her.
Su Xiao's ears only had Su Di's non-stop crying voice and vague pronunciation: "My eyes." Woo..."
Su Tiannan and Ye Wanhua rushed over when they heard the sound and quickly sent Su Di to the hospital. However, the doctor said that Sudi had injured the optic nerve and that recovery was extremely unlikely.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao's eyes filled with tears.
Just as she raised the wine glass to her lips and wanted to drink it, Ji Yunshen opened the door and walked in. He soon came to Su Xiao's side.
Su Xiao put down the wine glass, deliberately concealed his gloomy expression, lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, not looking at him.
Ji Yunshen was still aware of her abnormality, he held her hand soothingly, then put it to his mouth and kissed it, and said softly: "What's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”
Su Xiao turned his head, and a magnified handsome face appeared in front of him, with a little doubt and overflowing love in his eyes. Su Xiao stood up and slowly snuggled into Ji Yunshen's arms. She buried her head in his chest, and she could smell the woody scent of his body mixed with a faint smell of wine. Su Xiao felt the ups and downs on his chest, and she felt very stable. She looked up, her lips touching his. Her kiss was soothing and affectionate. She closed her eyes and felt the tremor on Ji Yunshen's lips. Ji Yun hugged her deeply and kissed her tenderly. For a long time, both of them suppressed a certain emotion, and they ended the kiss.
Ji Yunshen helped Su Xiao put on a dress. Su Xiao told him about Su Di's past and told him the content of today's call with Lu Jingyu.
"There may really be no way for Sudi to be cured. If only I hadn't taken her to Suri in the first place. Su Xiao's voice was a little choked.
She had always blamed herself, she felt that she had not taken Sudy with her and had let her go through such pain.
"Don't blame yourself too much, Sudy won't blame you. Let his family take him to the two experts first, maybe there will be hope. If it doesn't work, think of another way. Ji Yunshen couldn't bear to see Su Xiao so uncomfortable, and comforted her with all his heart.
Su Xiao stopped sobbing, stood up and hugged Ji Yunshen, and said that she was okay and told him not to worry. Then, Su Xiao went back to the bedroom to rest first. Ji Yunshen withdrew his gaze from Su Xiao and walked into the bathroom.
