He hasn't given her a call yet, when will he come back.
Shi Xiaonian closed the address book page, held the phone tightly in her hand, and then continued to throw items into the shopping cart aimlessly.
"It's not good, it's not good, Miss Xi!"
Someone wearing a driver's uniform rushed over from outside. His black suit was completely soaked. He rushed over and looked at Shi Xiaonian anxiously, "Miss Xi, Butler Feng was beaten in the parking lot!"
"Snapped."
A piece of merchandise in Shi Xiaonian's hand suddenly fell to the ground. She looked at the driver blankly, and then ran out. The bodyguards immediately cleared the way for her, protecting her from the front and back, not letting anyone get close to her.
The group of people rushed to the underground parking lot. The huge parking lot was crowded with cold cars, without any people or sound.
It was eerily quiet.
"Miss Xi, please be careful."
The bodyguards were walking in front, looking around. The light in the underground parking lot was not good. Suddenly, a car light came on towards them, and the bodyguards immediately surrounded Shi Xiaonian.
But the car showed no intention of stopping and drove away.
"Well… "
A cry of pain came.
Shi Xiaonian and the bodyguards immediately ran forward, only to see Feng De lying in a pool of blood, his mouth full of blood, one hand pressing his chest, his body had marks of being scratched by a knife, his clothes were torn, and blood gurgled out. A pocket watch fell to the side and split into two pieces.
"Seal the housekeeper!"
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes wide in shock, rushed towards him, not daring to touch him, and shouted loudly, "Come here, who knows some medical knowledge, see if he can move easily, we will send him to the hospital now!"
"Miss Xi, the one who knows the most about medicine here is Housekeeper Feng."
The bodyguard said.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De worriedly. Feng De fell to the ground, frowning in pain, vomiting a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and said weakly, "Shi Xiaonian, it's okay, I have a fracture. You can use something to fix me." , just take me to the hospital. Don't worry."
By this time, Feng De's speech was still clear.
"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital now."
Shi Xiaonian said anxiously, reaching for a tissue to wipe the blood on his face, "Keep it patient, the hospital is very close to here, it's okay, you will be fine."
She had never seen Feng De like this before. He was lying there on the verge of death, even breathing was very difficult, and his eyes were wandering.
"Fortunately, it's okay if I don't touch Miss Xi." Feng De said, his voice was extremely weak.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly, "You mean, the Gong family beat you?"
The bodyguard was fixing Feng De's legs at the side. Feng De lay there and looked at her. He smiled bitterly and said with difficulty, "I come from the Gong family. I do such a thing for the young master. It's not strange to be punished."
The bodyguards carefully lifted Feng De and carried him to the car.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, staring blankly at the blood stains on the ground, feeling chills on his back.
Is it because he took her away to be engaged to Gong Ou that Feng De was beaten like this
How could this be.
The storm still came, but she didn't expect that it started from Feng De.
Maybe one day Mr. Gong will compromise with Gong Ou, but he still has to vent his anger. She can't imagine how many people will be hurt next.
"Come here." Shi Xiaonian stopped a bodyguard and looked at him with a pale face, "Find someone to protect Xia Yu and his wife, hurry up! You must hurry!"
She didn't expect that Feng De would be beaten.
"Yes, Miss Xi, I will arrange it right away."
Shi Xiaonian lowered her head and looked at the blood on the ground. Her legs were weak and she stepped back. She bent down and picked up the pocket watch on the ground. The pocket watch was broken in half, and the broken surface was stained with bright red blood.
She was supposed to bear all this alone, but after the engagement ceremony, not only Gong Ou, but also the people around her were bearing it for her.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, her hand holding the pocket watch trembling.
Gong Ou didn't use the reserved ward, so Feng De met him first.
Feng De was seriously injured, with a broken leg, broken ribs, and a total of more than 20 stitches on his body, which made people feel weak when he heard it.
In the hospital, Shi Xiaonian sat on the chair next to the hospital bed and looked at Feng De lying there. Feng De fell asleep in a daze after being given anesthesia.
"Miss Xi, why don't we take you back?"
Two bodyguards walked in and said.
"I want to stay and take care of Housekeeper Feng." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, then suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Did my friend send someone to protect him?"
"We are already protecting them. The couple is fine for the time being," the bodyguard said.
"That's good, so are you. Don't go alone in the future, but go together as a group, you know?" Shi Xiaonian warned.
"Thank you, Miss Xi, for your concern, we will."
The bodyguards looked at her gratefully and nodded.
Shi Xiaonian sat on the chair, holding her fingers tightly in her arms and breathing unsteadily.
Miyao, why don’t you come back yet.
She misses him.
She wanted to see him immediately.
As if hearing her call, a voice came, "Miss Xi, Mr. Gong is here."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian immediately stood up from the bed and rushed out desperately. In the corridor, Gong Ou was walking towards this side step by step. He had a tall figure, handsome and elegant steps, and a pair of black eyes staring deeply at him. she.
"Miyao!"
Shi Xiaonian yelled and threw herself into his arms.
Gong Ou was knocked unsteady by her attack and took several steps back. Shi Xiaonian panicked and looked at him blankly, not daring to move forward and took a few steps back, "You... are injured."
The weather outside was gloomy and rainy, and the light in the corridor was even worse.
Gong Ou stood there calming his mind, stretched out his hand to loosen his tie, and said with a magnetic and low voice, "It's nothing, it's not that easy to get hurt."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian turned around and ran away.
"Why are you running!"
Gong Ou's eyes flashed, and he strode forward to catch up with her, chasing her to the door of the ward.
The lights in the ward were on and it was bright.
Shi Xiaonian suddenly turned around and looked at Gong Ou. She saw faint fingerprints on the left half of Gong Ou's face, and the clothes on her chest were a little messy. Her hand touched his chest, and Gong Ou's brows He twisted it, grabbed her hand, and said nonchalantly, "He likes to hit people. I'm used to it. It's just a slap in the face twice and a hit on the chest. It's a trivial matter."
Shi Xiaonian took away her hand and unbuttoned his shirt with all her strength, and saw a mark on his chest, as if a hard-cover book had hit it.
Her slender fingers were shaking violently.
This was what she was most afraid of when she refused to get back together with Gong Ou. She knew that once they were together, he would be responsible for her.
She knew it, but there was nothing she could do.
"Go check it out."
Shi Xiaonian's voice trembled, her other hand was still in her arms, and the long chain was hanging down.
"I'm fine. Is there anything to check?" Gong Ou said disdainfully, reaching out to tie the buttons.
"Go check it out! Go now!"
Shi Xiaonian shouted at the top of his lungs, staring at him with crimson eyes.
This sound shocked the several bodyguards guarding the door. They looked at Shi Xiaonian in surprise. They had never seen Shi Xiaonian get angry before. Such a soft and weak woman's voice was so explosive.
Gong Ou stood in front of her, and the action of buttoning was frozen. A pair of black eyes stared at her, shaking. After a while, he responded weakly, "Just check, why are you so loud?"
“…”
The bodyguards' spectacle lenses were all shattered on the ground. Mr. Gong didn't get angry when he was yelled at
Shi Xiaonian stood there with a splitting headache and uncomfortable eyes, "Go and get checked quickly, hurry up!"
"Oh, got it."
Gong Ou turned around and left obediently.
Shi Xiaonian squatted on the ground, hugged himself tightly with his hands, lowered his head and leaned on his knees, his body trembling violently.
She was most afraid of this, but this day came anyway.
…
Gong Ou's injuries were much lighter than Feng De's, as long as he was careful not to exercise strenuously, unlike Feng De, who was completely beaten to death.
On the way back to the car, Shi Xiaonian looked at the blood-stained pocket watch in her hand. She was hugged by Gong Ou. Gong Ou stared at her with his dark eyes deep, and his words were strong and cold, "Don't regret it, don't think about yourself." make a mistake!"
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Shi Xiaonian stared at the pocket watch in his hand and said.
"You can tell by looking at you. It's written all over your face that I shouldn't have let Gong Ou get hurt, and I shouldn't have let Feng De get hurt. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Gong Ou said coldly.
"I don't think I'm wrong, but it's undeniable that you are hurt because of me."
Shi Xiaonian whispered, holding the pocket watch tightly with her hands.
"This is only temporary. When father's anger is over, he will compromise and say anything." Gong Ou said indifferently.
"But how long will this last?" Shi Xiaonian's tone was full of confusion, "If Butler Feng is killed just because we are together, maybe more, then are we burdened with too much?"
"I don't care! I want you!"
Gong Ou said categorically that he would stay with her regardless of the consequences.
Shi Xiaonian is not as paranoid and desperate as Gong Ou. A relationship should be pure and simple, but now there are so many things weighing on it.
"Mr. Gong, Miss Xi, here we are."
The driver parked his car in the parking line.
When Shi Xiaonian was in Gong Ou's arms, she raised her eyes and looked out. In the rain and fog, a simple and elegant antique watch store was sitting there.
The bodyguards got out of the car first and opened their umbrellas.
Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou got off the bus and walked into the watch shop. On a rainy day, the watch shop was extremely quiet and exuded the aroma of tea.
"Please see if it can be repaired."
Shi Xiaonian handed the pocket watch in her hand to the boss.
In the antique shop, the boss stood there wearing a robe, picked up a pocket watch to study, and looked at them while studying. When he recognized it, he was shocked and took a breath, "It can be repaired, but this antique watch can be repaired." If it's broken like this, repairing it is more expensive than buying a new one."
"Let's fix it."
Shi Xiaonian said calmly. She saw that Feng De had been wearing this pocket watch, so she must have liked it very much. Buying a new one might not be what he wanted. (To be continued)
