Chapter 237: Sooner rather than later
Returning to Hong Kong from Lianwu Island, there were only two days left before New Year's Eve. The company had already entered the Spring Festival holiday, and after the few people separated at the airport, they went their separate ways and returned to their respective homes.
That night, Liang Weining squatted in front of the suitcase to pack her clothes, preparing for her flight back to Chengdu the next day.
Ten minutes later, the cloakroom door was pushed open.
Mr. Chen came in with his cell phone and motioned for her to answer the call.
Suspicious.
who?
Looking closely, I saw the caller note was 'Zhou Shixu'.
What does the prince want her to do?
I pressed the hands-free button and a man's leisurely voice came out from the receiver.
The content is simple, but the amount of information is huge.
Gu Yunzhen was in the hospital and refused to have the surgery, so she asked Liang Weining to persuade her.
After a few seconds of delay, he came to his senses.
I quickly asked, "Why do you want surgery? Are you really sick?"
"Acute appendicitis. The doctor recommended removal."
Zhou Shixu lowered his eyes and tapped the ash from his cigarette, frowning, "You are too stubborn and won't listen to anyone."
Without hesitation, the little girl nodded.
"I'm going to Macau right away. Please help stabilize the situation first."
Then he hung up.
The cloakroom returned to silence. Liang Weining hurriedly closed her suitcase, opened her phone's address book, and prepared to call Ajian.
The call fell into the hands of the boss halfway through.
The meaning is obvious, no driver is needed.
"Will it waste your time? You may not be able to return tonight," she reminded.
Chen Jingyuan raised the corner of his lip and ruffled his girlfriend's hair. "It's almost the Spring Festival, so just treat it as a holiday for yourself."
Model workers also need a private life.
Liang Weining chuckled, walked forward and hugged him sweetly, and said meaningfully: "If Zhenzhen has surgery, I should be in the hospital with her on New Year's Eve. Do you have any other plans during this period?"
For so many years, my best friend has been alone in Hong Kong.
I discussed it with my parents over the phone and they were very understanding and it wasn't a big problem.
"When do you plan to return to Chengdu to avoid New Year's Eve?" Chen Jingyuan asked.
Think briefly.
"Around the third year of junior high school."
The little girl raised her head and looked at him with a teasing look in her eyes: "Mr. Chen, do you want to go home with me?"
It was originally just a joke, just a casual remark.
Chen Jingyuan looked serious.
"Right on my mind."
The man's voice was gentle and his eyes were filled with doting, and were filled with a deep and profound feeling that was so rich that it could not be dissolved.
Don't want to delay any longer.
It is better to determine your status sooner rather than later.
-
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Macau.
The destination was a high-end private hospital, undoubtedly the work of the prince.
Let’s put aside the damn contract.
It must be said that Zhou Shixu is a conscientious and decent boss.
In the VIP ward, Gu Yunzhen was receiving an IV drip to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Seeing Ning Xiaoguai falling from the sky, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he guessed who the mastermind was, and the expression "speechless" was written on his face.
"Don't blame others. I think this is a very fair thing to do." Liang Weining dragged a chair and sat beside the bed. She looked up at the liquid and then at the indwelling needle on the back of her best friend's hand.
"Does it still hurt?" Her voice was soft and her eyes couldn't stop reddening.
Just appendicitis.
We can't start being sentimental as soon as we meet, after all, the New Year is almost here.
Be happy.
"I repeatedly told Zhou Shixu to keep it a secret from you because I was worried that you would act on impulse and come to Macau without thinking."
Gu Yunzhen rubbed her head soothingly, "It's not a serious illness. It's getting late. Go back early so you don't miss your flight tomorrow."
"I won't go back."
Liang Weining raised his eyebrows: "I called Teacher Xie on the way and decided that I will stay in Australia on New Year's Eve this year."
Where to stay?
Suspecting that he had misheard, Gu Yunzhen asked himself, "Why do you stay in Macau?" "To accompany you."
Outrageous.
Who spends the New Year in the hospital?
Gu Yunzhen said, "The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, and the hospital stay will be at least three days. Do you think this is fun? Don't be willful. Go back and take a shower and go to bed."
and many more.
"Do you consent to the surgery?"
Ok.
"Why did you change your mind at the last minute? Can you tell me the reason?"
She was extremely curious.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yunzhen showed a familiar 'speechless' expression, and said in a dull tone: "Zhou Shixu threatened me with the contract, saying that if I don't sign the surgery agreement, he will charge me three times the interest."
"."
tough enough.
Accurately grasp the true lifeline.
Although it was inappropriate, Liang Weining still couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When her best friend glanced at her, she immediately curled her lips.
The final word: "Since you need surgery, you have to stay. I have been in Hong Kong for six years and have never felt the New Year's Eve atmosphere here. Just give me a chance."
The reasons are impeccable.
Gu Yunzhen couldn't force it.
The next afternoon, the operation ended at around four o'clock.
After making sure her best friend was okay, Liang Weining planned to return to Hong Kong to get some clothes to change into.
Taking the elevator to the second floor below ground, two men were standing in front of the car door talking about something. From her perspective, she could only see Mr. Chen's tall silhouette. He didn't say much and just listened silently the whole time.
In the cold and empty garage, Zhou Shixu's usual lazy tone could be heard from time to time, vaguely talking about the investment in Xizhou Technology.
I've asked the boss about this before.
It seems that in the next two years, there are preparations to raise funds and list Xizhou.
There is no doubt that HEART-C will also rise with the market value increasing several times.
Mixed feelings.
Yet I felt relieved from the bottom of my heart.
No matter what form it exists in the future, at least it has found its own track.
People always have to learn to look forward.
Including her, including HEART-C.
-
After returning to Deep Water Bay to pack my clothes, I didn’t rush back to Australia.
Mr. Chen drove her to Taiping Mountain to celebrate the New Year.
Of course, it was Mrs. Chen who called to invite him personally, and it was hard to refuse. As a junior, Liang Weining could not refuse, nor did he want to refuse.
The most surprising thing is that Uncle Ming prepared for a rainy day, as if he had foreseen it, and arranged for the driver to deliver the New Year gifts in advance.
Now, even the only worry is saved.
With Uncle Ming around, I can rest assured at all times.
When the car reached the mountainside, the scenery was completely different from last time.
The focus is no longer on the harbor in the distance, but on the dense vegetation on both sides of the winding mountain road. Most of them are untrimmed, primitive and wildly growing, giving people a sense of vitality that breaks free from constraints.
Perhaps, it all stems from an illusion.
My mood has changed, so everything I see is beautiful.
Twenty minutes later, at the Chen family's main residence.
lobby.
Chen Shaoan had just been called to the study to be lectured, and then he heard from his mother that his eldest brother was going to bring his future sister-in-law to the mountain to pay New Year's greetings, so he should stop his dissolute look and leave a good impression.
After all, he is the child of aristocratic family, and he is always unruly. Even after two years of experience in New York, he seems to have changed, but if you look closely, apart from losing a lot of weight, he seems to be no different from before.
Mrs. Chen was helpless about this.
What can we do? Just wait and see.
There was a lack of information from abroad, and Chen Shaoan subconsciously thought that the boss was going to marry some rich girl and it was just a show to put on in front of the elders.
This is quite common in the circle.
As a result, when he saw the elder brother leading the little girl in, his eyes fell slowly on the person's face. He vaguely recognized the face and felt a sense of familiarity.
Seems I've seen it somewhere
"Weining is here."
Mrs. Chen's call completely brought Chen Shaoan back to his senses.
so crazy.
Turns out, it’s really her!
