Ning Zhi lived opposite Xi Lanyu, which was Ning Man's room before his death.

After so many years, she thought that she would be unable to sleep and sleep at night, but she did not know if she was really tired, or if there was always a familiar breath in the room, and Ning Zhi soon fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already early the next morning.

Ning Zhi habitually lay on the bed and squinted for a while, then got up and folded the quilt.

This was Ning Man's habit before his death, and Ning Zhi was unwilling to break it.

Before going out, Ning Zhi glanced at the neat room, gathered his hair, and went downstairs to wash.

Passing by the first floor, she heard some familiar voices, looked along the source of the sound, and sure enough, she saw Xi Lanyu, who was holding his mobile phone and making a phone call in front of Bo Gujia.

He didn't know when he had changed into his pajamas, the kind of satin fabric he was used to wearing, dark gray, which made his whole person look particularly noble on this sunny morning.

It seems that if he goes to this station, this suite will be able to sell for tens of thousands more.

Xi Lanyu didn't talk much, holding the silver lighter in one hand and responding to it twice in the other, such as "postpone" and "talk more."

Ning Zhi guessed that he had work to do, and when he hung up the phone, Ning Zhi walked over: "Grandma, I can handle it myself, do you want to go back to Beicheng directly in a while?" ”

Seeing that it was her, Xi Lanyu put aside the phone and said, "Don't worry." ”

Ning Zhi: "But your job ......"

Xi Lanyu lowered his eyes and rolled up his cuffs, and his voice was low, "This is not something you should worry about. ”

It is estimated that he had just gotten up, and his voice was a little hoarse, so Ning Zhi covered his ears and raised his head to meet his deep gaze.

"Thank you so much this time," she said. But taking care of my grandmother is my responsibility alone, not yours. Xi Lanyu," Ning Zhi looked at him seriously, "I've already troubled you a lot, and I owe you a favor this time, I really don't know how to pay it back." ”

Her voice was clear and cold, and it sounded alienated from thousands of miles away.

Xi Lanyu glanced at her and didn't speak.

Ning Zhi continued, his voice soft: "Really, you go back." ”

The early morning on the outskirts of Nancheng is always exceptionally quiet, and only occasionally some unknown birds stand on the branches and "chirp", which is a good scenery of leisure and comfort.

At the moment, however, the atmosphere in the room was close to stagnancy.

Ning Zhi stood still, insisting on her attitude with silence.

Maybe it's her upbringing, maybe it's her awareness of her subconscious dependence.

Ning Zhi was unwilling and unwilling to let himself fall into Ning Man's helpless situation.

Xi Lanyu was at a stalemate with her for a long time, and finally nodded and compromised: "I'll leave tomorrow night." ”

Ning Zhi breathed a sigh of relief silently.

After washing, the two went to the hospital together.

Ning Zhi discussed with Xi Lanyu in the car: "I'll see my grandmother later." Don't say you're leaving, wait until the right time comes, I'll tell her. ”

Xi Lanyu turned his head to look at her, a little incomprehensible.

Ning Zhi patiently explained: "The old lady is very thoughtful, I am afraid that she will blame herself and feel that she has delayed your work." ”

Xi Lanyu said "um" when he saw this, and didn't say anything else, just leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

……

Ning Xianglan also lived in the hospital very personally, she didn't know where to find a mobile phone holder, and put the mobile phone inside, and the location happened to be right in front of her.

In this way, she doesn't even hold her hand up to play with her phone.

Ning Zhi was angry and amused, put her bag on her bedside table casually, leaned over and asked, "Grandma, how do you feel today?" ”

Ning Xianglan stared at the mobile phone without lifting it: "It's much better, Zhizhi, I think I can be discharged from the hospital today." ”

Ning Zhi frowned: "No, you will be injured for 100 days, you are not the same age, and you may not be able to take care of it in 100 days." ”

Ning Xianglan said "ouch", "A hundred days? How can it be done! ”

Ning Zhi sat at the head of her bed and explained carefully: "It's not that you want to stay in the hospital for 100 days, but we will observe for a while, and if there is no problem, we will go home and raise you." ”

Ning Xianglan was very reluctant and tugged Ning Zhi's hand, which was a small gesture that they were used to.

Ning Zhi understood and moved closer to her.

Ning Xianglan whispered: "Zhizhi, it's not that grandma doesn't cooperate with you, it's that I really can't get used to it. Look at the old man in the next bed, he doesn't pay attention to hygiene at all, he spits when he can't move, and he makes a mess of the toilet, so I can't eat after watching it. ”

Ning Zhi didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately said, "Then let's change to VIP." ”

The amount of money that Xi Lanyu gave her was not small, and her grandmother knew about it.

She can now afford it.

In fact, Xi Lanyu arranged a VIP ward for Ning Xianglan at the beginning, but she casually asked at that time, and learned that it would cost 2,000 yuan to stay there for one night, and the 2,000 yuan could not be reimbursed by medical insurance.

Ning Xianglan even begged the nurse to change her to a general ward.

Therefore, when Ning Zhi proposed to stay back, Ning Xianglan shook her head decisively: "I won't live." ”

Ning Zhi couldn't help it, so she whispered to persuade her: "Then I'll find a doctor to see if I can change you to a cleaner ward?" ”

Ning Xianglan had a bitter face, but the boss was still reluctant.

Xi Lanyu, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Grandma, do you think you want to do this? I will probably go back to Beicheng tomorrow night, and you will go back with us at that time, and I will arrange for you to be in a private hospital in Beichen, one person per room, and a special person will take care of you. The main thing is that it's our own property, and it doesn't cost anything. ”

Ning Xianglan hesitated a little: "How can this be done?" So, isn't it our ancestors who take advantage of you? ”

Xi Lanyu smiled and said in a slow voice: "We are a family, grandma, you talk to me about this, are you not seeing outside?" ”

These words almost touched Ning Xianglan's heart, and the family didn't talk about two families, and her bitter face immediately stretched, "Hey, how embarrassing is this?" ”

Seeing that Ning Xianglan was about to agree, Ning Zhi turned around and grabbed Xi Lanyu's wrist, and said in a faint voice: "You come out with me." ”

……

In the hospital corridor, Xi Lanyu copied his pockets with both hands and looked at Ning Zhi opposite: "Do you have a better way?" ”

Ning Zhi bit her lower lip, she didn't have the privilege of a private hospital, but how could she accept Xi Lanyu's help again and again, with peace of mind.

Ning Zhi said lightly: "Xi Lanyu, I'm really embarrassed by you like this. ”

Xi Lanyu didn't speak, he looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression, and after a while, he lazy asked, "Why are you embarrassed?" ”

Ning Zhi took a step back slightly and shook his head slightly: "I really don't like to owe people anything, but from the time we realize that now, I really owe you a lot...... Even though I know it's good for my grandmother, I feel powerless to rely on others for everything...... It's really uncomfortable, it's terrible......"

There were people in the hallway, but their voices were so soft and faint that only they could hear each other clearly.

Ning Zhi looked at him with a blank expression.

It can be seen that she is not reserved, and she is not a prevarication who wants to get away with it.

Rather, she really felt that such a helping hand would be painful for her.

Xi Lanyu was silent for a long time, touched a cigarette, he lowered his head slightly, the amputated spine on the back of his neck was slightly raised, and his cold white complexion matched his indifferent temperament, looking particularly like a scum.

Xi Lanyu turned his back and slightly pressed his palm, the cigarette was clamped between his fingertips, and there was a bright scarlet in the black and white silhouette, he bent his elbows on the edge of the window, and did not turn around, leaving only Ning Zhi with a lonely back.

Not knowing what he was thinking, Ning Zhi took a step back and pressed against the cold wall.

Xi Lanyu casually brought the cigarette to his mouth, only took a puff, and the pale green smoke slowly rose, and he crushed the smoke out.

The long silence ended.

He turned to look at Ning Zhi, his posture was lazy, and he asked casually, "Do you think that what I care about is really what you repaid?" ”

Chapter 26

In the end, Ning Zhi compromised.

Xi Lanyu is right, her emotions should not be paid for by her grandmother's health.

In the afternoon of the next day, the group rushed from the south city to the north city.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, a fractured person shouldn't have moved like that.

Xi Lanyu apparently took this into account, and he got a Rolls-Royce of a similar model out of nowhere, which he used to rest his grandmother and to accompany the medical professionals on his travels.

Ning Zhi originally planned to sit on her grandmother's side, but when she opened the rear door, she saw that it was full and there was no place for her at all.

Ning Zhi had no choice but to sit back in Xi Lanyu's car.

It was only a few hours after the return trip, and Ning Zhi thoroughly realized the busyness of Xi Lanyu's work in this short period of time.

In addition to dealing with all kinds of work emails along the way, Xi Lanyu also held a remote meeting in the car to successfully finalize the acquisition plan for next month.

Ning Zhi was silent, this was the first time she had experienced Xi Lanyu's terrible work efficiency on the spot.

I have to say, it's really scary.

Ning Zhi sat on the side and played with her mobile phone with a sense of guilt, and in the end, she was so anxious that she turned out the medical paper.

When she finally finished a difficult article, Xi Lanyu was also busy.

Ning Zhifang listened to it for a while, she turned off the screen of her mobile phone, tilted her head and asked, "You want to buy Hengyuan?" ”

Xi Lanyu really didn't avoid her when he had a meeting just now, Ning Zhi guessed that this was probably not a trade secret, so he asked casually.

Xi Lanyu glanced at her lightly, "Hmm." ”

After listening to this, Ning Zhi muttered to himself: "You are really a natural capitalist. ”

Xi Lanyu raised his eyebrows quietly, "Huh?"

Ning Zhi turned sideways slightly, and met his gaze at her, "Hengyuan is a small and sophisticated medical device import and export company in the industry, and they are mainly engaged in high-end medical equipment that is at the forefront of the world. When the acquisition is completed, the medical equipment donated by Beichen to major hospitals can go directly from Hengyuan. You're all linked to each other, and each of them keeps the cost to a minimum. What is not a natural capitalist? ”

After listening to this, Xi Lanyu's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, and his voice was low: "Something? ”

Ning Zhi shook his head lightly: "No, I just think you are good at business." ”

Xi Lanyu chuckled, "Want to learn? ”

Ning Zhi: "Then you don't need to, I think it's quite tiring for you to calculate like this every day." ”

After saying that, Ning Zhi saw that Xi Lanyu's gaze towards her became a little deep.
