Chapter 34: Wen Zhixia is currently in the emergency room
This is the peak time for work, bustling with office workers running to the subway or bus station everywhere.
Wen Zhixia was waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, looking at it quietly through the car window.
I've been in my comfort zone for a long time, and it seems that the life of not rushing to the project is a matter of the previous life.
Guxia Group, conference room.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhou's call. Li Yueting knocked on the door of the conference room, held his mobile phone, and whispered.
Gu Pingsheng raised his hand to pause the meeting, "Rest for five minutes." β
Gu Pingsheng was originally just answering the phone at the end of the corridor, but after a few seconds, he suddenly strode in the direction of the office.
73 Xiangshan Road.
Wen Zhixia parked the car, looked at the apartment in front of him, his palm was still on the steering wheel, and his left hand pressed on the wedding ring of his right index finger, rubbing it repeatedly.
"Ding-dong. β
"Ding-dong-"
Wen Zhixia took the elevator and looked for it according to the house number.
The door opened, Wen Zhixia raised her eyes, she looked at the woman in front of her, a long cotton and linen dress, wearing slippers, her hair coiled high, her face unpowdered, and there were two fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
"Who are you looking for, this young lady?" the woman who opened the door looked at her suspiciously.
Wen Zhixia glanced inside, "Is Zhao Fuhe there?"
The woman showed great doubt: "You are in the wrong place. β
Wen Zhixia paused, and then asked, "Here...... Is it your home?"
"Do you have a problem? If it's okay, I'm closed. The woman looked at her inexplicably.
"Ma Ma, is the child coming to play with me?" When a bouncing child was halfway through running, he was picked up by his father, walked behind the woman, looked at Wen Zhixia, and said to the woman, "Your friend?"
The woman shook her head and closed the door, "I don't know, I should have found the wrong one." β
Wen Zhixia stretched out her hand to block her closing the door, "Did you buy this house, or do you live in it temporarily?"
The woman was a little impatient: "What are you here for? This house is not mine, is it still yours? Are you okay? If it's okay, don't bother us?"
Wen Zhixia, who was reprimanded, glanced at the family of three, and slowly let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, I should have made a mistake." β
"Bang-"
The door slammed shut in front of her eyes.
The wind brought by the closing door blew her hair, lingering at the corners of her mouth, Wen Zhixia stroked it with her hand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The footsteps at the door gradually left, and the two adults in the door breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the woman patted her chest: "I didn't show any horse's feet just now, did I?"
The man put the child down, "No." β
The little child who was still jumping around just now quietly tugged at the man's pants at the moment and whispered, "Dad, can we go home?"
He was still very old, and he didn't know why his parents had brought him here, and they made him pretend to be in his own home.
When the man was about to speak, he heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head, and shouted in a low voice, "Miss Zhao." β
Zhao Fuhe walked out of the room, glanced at them, sat on the sofa, and beckoned to the little boy.
The little boy looked up at his parents, and after getting their consent, he slowly walked towards her.
Zhao Fuhe pinched the child's face, her nails were trimmed a little long, pinching the child's delicate face, the child was in pain, and after screaming, she slapped her hand away and ran to her parents' side.
"Mom, bad aunt she pinch...... Uh-huh......"
The mother covered the child's mouth with her hand and shook her head at him.
But this action was already late, and Zhao Fuhe, who had already heard it, glanced at them coldly, "Okay, I'm tired and go to rest first, and you go out in an hour." β
Wen Zhixia, who came out of No. 73 Xiangshan Road, sat in the car and looked towards the floor.
"Uncle, I have something I want to trouble you...... I remember that you are an old acquaintance with the director of the real estate bureau, yes, I need to find out who owns a property...... Well, excuse me. β
A few seconds after hanging up the phone, the flower father sent the contact information.
Wen Zhixia then drove away.
Standing by the window, watching Zhao Fuhe leave the car from afar, his fingers clutched the curtains, and he waved them away vigorously after a while.
This is where she lives, but she hides like a thief.
Wen Zhixia came, so she could only hide secretly, and she didn't even dare to show her face!
The family of three left, and the man took a sip at the door, "I really think of myself as the queen's mother, a junior is so arrogant, it's not for the sake of money, who cares about her." β
The woman patted him on the back, "The baby is still there." β
The man picked up the child in a sneer, "Let's go, let's go home." β
"You say, what do rich people think now, it seems to me that the main room where the rapist was caught is more than a star and a half stronger than the woman in the house in all aspects. Are you all men so virtuous, and no matter how good the food at home is, there is no smell of outside?" the woman asked.
"Nothing ......"
The voices of the three faded away and disappeared at No. 73 Xiangshan Road.
Mingju Xiaohui, tea room.
Wen Zhixia picked a position by the window, and his white fingers turned the celadon teacup, and the fingertips turned to show that his skin was fairer.
"I guess it's you, who helped the director of the car on this trip, and it was not in vain. β
Zhang Zhiyan sat down across from her, holding a file bag in his hand.
"You...... Why did you come?" she made an appointment with Director Che.
Zhang Zhiyan explained, "When you called, I happened to be there, and since we are acquaintances, I will send you what you want by the way." β
He handed her the file bag: "Inside...... 73 Xiangshan Road?"
Wen Zhixia didn't say anything but took it, turned the rope on the file bag, and slowly opened it.
Zhang Zhiyan took a sip of tea, he didn't open the contents in advance, and looked at her, wanting to see something from her expression.
There are not a few pages in total, Wen Zhixia glanced at ten lines, and read them quickly.
"Torahβ"
The sound of paper shattering suddenly sounded, Wen Zhixia lowered his eyebrows, tore the contents one by one, and then put them back into the file bag.
Her movements made Zhang Zhiyan's eyelids jump twice, "What are you?"
"No. 73 Xiangshan Road, I went there more than an hour ago. She said suddenly.
Zhang Zhiyan waited for her words.
"The door was opened by a woman in her thirties, with her husband and son standing behind her. "The white fingertips pinch the teacup and put it under the nose to smell the fragrance of tea.
"yes, that's interesting, two days ago there was just one woman living in it, and in the blink of an eye, it became a family of three. Zhang Zhiyan didn't show much surprise that she didn't see Zhao Fuhe, but saw a family of three.
From the time she investigated the ownership of the house, he had already had some guesses in his heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, the name on the title deed in the file bag is not his, right?"
The tea took a little longer to pour into the cup, and after putting it in her mouth, it was a little cool, so she poured a cup again and nodded.
Zhang Zhiyan smiled: "It's me who underestimated him." β
Is this well-informed and leaky?
Or is it thoughtful and calculating?
But no matter what, "Do you believe that he is the only woman you have?" Zhang Zhiyan asked rhetorically.
The tea first fell into the mouth, with some bitterness, and the aftertaste left a faint sweetness on the taste buds, but it could not drown the astringency in the throat.
Wen Zhixia did not answer.
"It's time for dinner, this tea is getting more and more hungry, I have made a reservation for the restaurant, why don't we continue the halfway meal we ate last time?" he pushed away his chair and stood up, not continuing the topic he had just said.
When talking to smart people, you don't have to talk to the end, it's not interesting.
Since Wen Zhixia found No. 73 Xiangshan Road, it shows that she has a little suspicion in her heart.
In relationships, women are born with detective instincts, and in particular, she is a smart woman herself.
The place where Zhang Zhiyan brought her is not a star-rated restaurant, and it doesn't even match the high-end, just an ordinary roadside storefront, but there are a lot of people, the hall is bustling with people, and there are queues outside the door.
In Wen Zhixia's impression, Zhang Zhiyan's image is a high-end elite, and such a lively small shop doesn't match his temperament very well.
"Don't stand, I've spent a lot of money to book a place in a private room. β
As a private room, Wen Zhixia measured it, and it was only four or five square meters on the left and right, and after putting the tables and chairs, even the space for walking was squeezed out.
Wen Zhixia was pulled to sit down, and it wasn't until Zhang Zhiyan finished ordering the meal that her slightly curled eyelashes fluttered twice, and she came back to her senses.
"The place is small, but the taste is really delicious, and the flavor in the downtown area is always something that a high-end restaurant can't match. Zhang Zhiyan said while pouring her a glass of water.
"This store has opened in Sifang City...... It's been ten years. Wen Zhixia said suddenly.
Zhang Zhiyan's action of pouring water paused, "Have you been here?"
She nodded, "We are the first customers......"
We, her and Gu Pingsheng.
That year, she was sixteen years old, and Gu Pingsheng was seventeen.
The bus was late, and in order to save time, she chose to walk through the back door of the Muslim area to enter the school.
Teachers at the school have repeatedly told them that there are often shirtless or hooligans in the Muslim area, so that students should not pass through it.
Wen Zhixia is a well-behaved student and very obedient, this is the first time.
People will always have some luck in their hearts at some moments, telling themselves that they will not be so unlucky, and they will be hit by such a coincidence.
But many times, it was such a coincidence, when Wen Zhixia was blocked in the alley and couldn't get out or enter, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
"Little sister, borrow some flowers. β
Wen Zhixia took out two five-yuan sheets from her pocket, which was all the money on her.
She is very life-saving, take money to keep her safe, she is willing.
It's just that in the end, I am young, I am not deeply involved in the world, and I don't know what it means to be insatiable and difficult to fill.
"That's all the money, what are you fooling us?"
The companion tugged at his arm, "Don't be so fierce, scare our little sister again." Sister, don't be afraid, my brothers are not bad people, they want to make friends with you. β
The little thug approached her, and Wen Zhixia took two steps back: "I'm going to school, since you don't want money, let me go." β
"What's the point of going to school, my brothers take you to a good place to play, and promise that you will never like to go to school again. "The hand of one of the thugs was already on Wen Zhixia's shoulder.
The two squeezed Wen Zhixia in the corner, saying that she was wearing too thick clothes to help her reduce her burden.
Gu Pingsheng whistled, the zipper of the school uniform jacket was halfway drawn, and he passed loosely in his pocket, there was no book in his schoolbag, it was just an ornament, after putting it in his hand and turning it upside down, he casually put a brick in it, and smashed it towards one of them in the air, "Turtle son, where are you stretching out your hand?!"
"Fuck, where the little crumbs came from!"
Gu Pingsheng tore off his school uniform jacket, grabbed the cuffs and shook them twice, twisted them into a rope, and pulled them directly.
With one to three, even if he is a professional fighter, there is no way to withdraw for a while.
The cold light flashed, stabbing Wen Zhixia's eyes, her mind turned white, and when she came back to her senses, she had already grabbed the wine bottle in the corner and opened the scoop for the gangster who wanted to sneak attack behind with a knife.
She didn't take it lightly, and she didn't have any sense of proportion, only to see that as soon as she went down the bottle, the thug fell straight to the ground, covered with blood.
"Kill, kill!"
The other two thugs, who saw the blood, fled from the scene with a crawl.
Wen Zhixia, who was holding the wine bottle, turned pale and his brain was "buzzing".
A drop of blood splattered from the corner of her eye, which at first glance looked like bloody tears.
"Not dead, don't be afraid. Gu Pingsheng squatted down, probed the gangster's breath, and after calling the police, he took the wine bottle in her hand and wiped it clean with her school uniform, held it in his palm, and after imprinting the traces, he threw it away.
"Later, I'll say that I beat you, and you happened to be robbed by it, what are we...... Good samaritan. He raised his eyebrows, saw that she was motionless, bowed his waist, and pulled the corners of his mouth uninhibitedly: "Little nerd, you ...... just now"
His voice dragged on long, bohemian with a ruffian smile, "...... So handsome!"
She was a gangster who tried to brutalize her with a headshot with a wine bottle, and at that moment, Gu Pingsheng had no way to describe the feeling in his heart, just like a girl who looked like a temperless kitten in your eyes all day long, and suddenly flashed her paws.
Let him be amazed and amazed.
Wen Zhixia, who was extremely nervous, raised his eyes to look at his smiling face, and his thick eyelashes fluttered.
Because it was justified defense, the gangsters were not in danger of life, and the two were still students, so they were released on bail by the school, and the two were brought back from the police (bureau).
It's just that the review is indispensable, but good students will be treated preferentially, and the director of teaching asked Wen Zhixia to go back first, and Gu Pingsheng was left alone.
Between the words, Gu Pingsheng was too ruthless: "It's a good thing to be righteous and brave, but you can't fight to the death, if a person dies, have you thought about the consequences?"
Gu Pingsheng put his fingers in his pocket, opened his mouth and wanted to push it back, but he saw Wen Zhixia shaking his head at him through the window, so he swallowed the words, the school bully classmate who never admitted his mistakes raised his eyebrows slightly, and this time he accepted the teaching with a rare humility: "Yes, yes, what you said is, I will go back and write a review and hand it in with you, oops, my stomach is uncomfortable...... To go to the toilet, go first. β
The teaching director didn't really want to reprimand him this time, if he was replaced by a classmate next to him who acted bravely, it must be relief and praise. But for this dishonest Gu Pingsheng, who calls friends all day long, he is naturally vigilant at all times, and he can't feel that he can be praised for fighting.
After school in the afternoon, the school bully classmate blocked Wen Zhixia, grabbed her back collar and said that she should invite herself to dinner.
Seeing that she was about to refuse, she immediately put on a straight face: "What are you doing, little nerd." I've given you all such a big pot, and you don't mean to invite me to a meal? You are a distortion of human nature and a degeneration of morality, and I love you in vain. β
"Me, I only have ten dollars. Wen Zhixia lowered his head, honestly emptied his pockets, and his white palms were open, still those two five-piece pieces.
It's not that she doesn't want to invite him to dinner, she should thank him today, but she ...... Poor.
Gu Pingsheng choked, although he knew that he shouldn't laugh, he couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to ravage her head, "I'll go, what the are you...... Ahem, don't you want to be so cute. β
Her ponytail was distracted by him, and she avoided it unhappily, slowly arranging her crumpled collar by him.
"Let's go, don't cheat your money, eat a cheap meal. He casually took her schoolbag and slung it on his shoulder, the weight of which weighed heavily on him, "What are you carrying here? β
Wen Zhixia ignored him, she felt that this school bully was a bit noisy.
"You give it back to me, and I'll carry it myself. "She packed two more exercise books today.
Gu Pingsheng only thought that he didn't hear it, and strode forward, he took her schoolbag, and he didn't believe that she didn't go with him.
The place where he took her for a treat was this "Once Upon a Time in the City", which had just opened that day, and all meals were half discounted.
He waved his hand, "This, this, this, hurry up." β
Wen Zhixia thought that she had given him a vaccination in advance, she had no money, he would be more leisurely, but he didn't seem to take it seriously at all, she pursed her lower lip, "...... How much money did you bring?"
Gu Pingsheng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you have a treat?" β
Wen Zhixia: "......" So, he didn't bring any money, so ...... He still orders so much!!
She spread the money on the table and said indignantly: "I only have ten yuan, you, you order so much, you can do it yourself." "He'll leave it to wash the dishes.
But in the end, Gu Pingsheng did not leave to wash the dishes, because on that day, the guests on the table on No. 66 were free of charge.
Talking about the past, the corners of Wen Zhixia's lips unconsciously brought a smile, she did not have a chaotic youth, so that many things were forgotten when she was a student, and the pictures that can be remembered now, every frame, are related to the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses.
Zhang Zhiyan looked at the smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes dimmed.
Guxia Group.
Gu Pingsheng received a call from Zhao Fuhe, and listened to her poignantly say that Wen Zhixia had left, "...... Won't I be able to live here in the future?"
Gu Pingsheng: "The newly opened Cheng Yaju, you move there." β
Cheng Yaju is much more high-end than No. 73 Xiangshan Road, where she lives now, does his arrangement mean that his status is much higher than at the beginning?
She had already inquired about it since she moved into No. 73 Xiangshan Road, and just before she moved in, there was another woman living here.
β...... So tonight, can the senior come to accompany me?" she said, "I have been taking care of my brother for the past few days, and I have not slept well, and my heart is always up and down. β
At that time, a call came in, and Gu Pingsheng cut off the call with a "say more".
Chen Antai held the information in his hand, the door of the president's office was ajar, he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of talking from inside, thinking about coming back at another point in time, but he heard-
β...... For the matter of Xiangshan Road, thank you Mr. Zhou. β
"A little thing, Mr. Gu is polite. I also happened to pass by at that time, and I heard the conversation between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiao Wen, and listened to it smoothly. This man, how can there be anything that doesn't eat fishy, Mr. Gu said, isn't it? Xiao Wen is always too serious, this kind of little thing is also worth being angry about......
Gu Pingsheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and took a sip of coffee, "A woman who is not on the stage is really not worth her anger." β
Mr. Zhou: "...... Hahaha, what Mr. Gu said is that women raised outside are just playing, and they can't be on the stage, I heard that ...... Or is it a pheasant from Junyue? When will there be a chance, Mr. Gu will bring it out to see?"
The coffee cup was placed on the bar, and the slender fingers tapped the edge of the cup twice, "Mr. Zhou is good Yaxing." β
The words are inexplicable, and I can't hear joy and anger.
Chen Antai withdrew his hand and prepared to come back in half an hour.
Just, Xiangshan Road?
Li Yueting looked at Chen Antai, who didn't enter the door and turned to leave, so he took a second look.
She held a document in her hand, ready to go in to find Gu Pingsheng to sign, after knocking on the door and entering, Shang Xinfu had time to speak, and saw Gu Pingsheng standing up with a mobile phone.
"Is it Wen Zhixia's family? This is the Third People's Hospital of the city, Wen Zhixia is currently in the emergency room, please go to the hospital as soon as possible......
"Hey, are you listening?"
"Hey, hey, is anyone listening?"
"What's wrong? No one answered?" asked a colleague on the side.
The nurse looked at the phone suspiciously, "Yes, yes, but no one spoke." β
Colleague: "Maybe the signal is not good, hang up and call again." β
The nurse nodded, and when she was about to press off, a hoarse voice came from the other end: "I'll be there soon." β
"Mr. Gu. β
Li Yueting saw Gu Pingsheng who stumbled a little, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Gu Pingsheng pressed his finger on the table, "Call the driver and drive the car downstairs." β
Li Yueting didn't know what was going on on the other end of the phone, but she seemed to hear the word "hospital", "The driver has asked for leave today, I'll send Mr. Gu there." β
I don't know if it's her illusion, she held Gu Pingsheng's hand and felt a slight tremor.
Is it worried?
Or fear?
Gu Pingsheng pushed away the hand she was holding, took the car keys, stepped away with long legs, and strode outside, only saying one word "go".
Li Yueting followed.
The Third People's Hospital of the city, emergency room.
Zhang Zhiyan was standing in the corridor and wandering repeatedly, when he heard a messy and hurried footsteps, and turned around.
