Mo Yuanzhe was so humiliated by his son's scolding that he fled from the hospital in shame.
The sickly people in the corridor rest area became more energetic and clapped their hands vigorously: "Good! The young man sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice! Beautiful!"
"What are you making so much noise for! This is a hospital!" The nurse rolled her eyes at Mo You and said, "Be quiet! If you make any more noise, I'll call the security guard!"
Mo You stood in front of Shen Mi and suddenly bowed to her at a 90-degree angle: "Sister, I was rude to you before. I'm sorry."
After that, he took out a small black memory card from his schoolbag: "This is the surveillance video of the yard."
Shen Mi put the card into her bag and zipped it up: "Thank you Mo You."
"Someone told me before that my dad was a bad guy, but I never believed it because he was really good to me." Mo You lowered his head, tears falling to the ground: "He is not a good person, but he is a good father. If possible, can you please give him a chance."
Shen Mi suddenly thought of his father.
He may not be a good husband, but he is a good father.
"As long as he is willing to compensate Li Youcai and the workers, I can choose not to file a lawsuit."
"Thank you, sister."
Mo You turned around and chased in the direction his father left.
Shen Mi looked at the boy's back and sighed: "Mo Yuanzhe gave birth to a good son who can distinguish right from wrong."
"He's good, but why don't you take a look at your boyfriend too?"
Xie Rongzhuo said calmly.
Shen Mi turned around and saw Xie Rongzhuo's frosty face, and suddenly felt like laughing.
Why is this person still jealous of the little brother!
Any man is threatening, not to mention that the boy is eighteen years old and blushes when he sees her.
Xie Rongzhuo never does anything like letting a wolf into the house.
"I haven't seen the little sister."
Shen Mi understood: "I won't look at my little brother anymore."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Let's go."
Shen Mi picked up his medicine and repeated the doctor's instructions while reading the list: "You have to wait two weeks before the stitches can be removed. You can't drink alcohol while taking anti-inflammatory drugs recently. I'm reminding you, and you should also pay attention."
Xie Rongzhuo: “Yeah.”
The two walked out side by side, and Shen Mi continued to explain: "The wound hasn't healed in the past few days, so try not to make any big movements. If there is anything, just call me."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Is taking a shower considered a big move?"
His tone was not serious, and he was obviously teasing her.
Shen Mi blushed instantly: "Not counting!"
Xie Rongzhuo curled the corners of his lips, raised his head and looked into the distance, gently pinched her little finger, and asked: "Should this be kept secret?"
"Which one?"
Shen Mi didn't understand what was going on. He turned around and saw Wang Bo standing next to the car, so he quickly pulled his hand away.
But Wang Bo obviously saw them holding hands, and smiled in an ambiguous way: "Are you two a little bit oblivious to the people around you?"
Shen Mi's expression was calm, and he showed a standard smile with eight teeth: "Boss Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Bo: "I came here to inspect the project on the orders of the big boss."
Shen Mi looked at Xie Rongzhuo and asked quietly, "Are you two on good terms?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "He's a childhood friend that I don't keep in touch with very often."
Shen Mi understood and stopped being so reserved. He said with a look of disdain, "We are all from the north. How come the same land and water support two different groups of people?"
Wang Bo: "Secretary Shen thinks I'm too rough. Well, I won't say anything."
Shen Mi smiled: "No, I told the boss that you are tall, handsome, and gentle."
"Really?" Wang Bo sighed and glanced at Xie Rongzhuo: "Then it's really not easy for me to be alive!"
At this time, two policemen came over from the opposite side.
Shen Mi just called the police and now needs to go to the police station to take a statement.
After arriving at the police station and explaining the whole story, Shen Mi took out the memory card from her bag and handed it to the police officer. She was done.
Xie Rongzhuo was still talking to the police, and Shen Mi went outside to wait for him.
"Secretary Shen, do you want some water?" Wang Bo handed her a bottle of mineral water.
Shen Mi took it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Wang Bo: "Don't be so polite to me. Don't think I don't know that you hate me."
Shen Mi: "You are too kind, Mr. Wang. At most, I am gritting my teeth at you."
Wang Bo chuckled, "I say you are quite interesting, little girl. You used to pretend to be obedient in front of me and did whatever I told you to do. Now that you have someone backing you up, your fox tail is exposed?"
Shen Mi corrected: "That's called dedication. You are my boss, how can I not obey your orders?"
"You are very sharp-tongued. I knew you were no ordinary person when I first saw you, and I wanted to train you as my last disciple, but it was a pity that Xie Rongzhuo snatched you away." Wang Bo snorted, "If I had known this, I would not have helped him take you in."
"Take him in?" Shen Mi blinked: "Didn't I get the job based on my excellent resume?"
Wang Bo curled his lips and said, "Do you think Ruixing Bank lacks graduates from prestigious universities? You are totally wrong."
Shen Mi: "No way, Lao Wang? Did I really go through the back door?"
Wang Bo looked disdainful and said, "Call me President Wang, don't call me old. Not really, according to normal recruitment, you are the best candidate, but if it weren't for Xie Rongzhuo's call, I wouldn't have hired you."
Shen Mi: "Why don't I understand what you are saying?"
At this point, Wang Bo had to say something: "I'm a little curious, since you're so short of money, why don't you take shortcuts?"
Shen Mi: "I love money, but I know how to get it."
Wang Bo raised his eyebrows and brought back the topic: "Sun Guozhi, do you still remember this person?"
Shen Mi gritted his teeth angrily: "I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes."
Wang Bo: "If I remember correctly, he ruined three of your jobs?"
Shen Mi stretched out his hand and said, "Eight portions."
Wang Bo: "To be honest, I also received a call from him."
Shen Mi: "You refused?"
"I'm doing him a favor." Wang Bo said, "Let's not beat around the bush and get down to business. Whether or not I cooperate with him is another matter. You're just a fresh graduate with no background. We have no relatives or friends. Why should I offend someone with such a good family background for you?"
Shen Mi nodded: "I understand. But I don't understand why he would tarnish his own reputation just to make me lose my job. Doesn't it make him look petty to go to such great lengths to punish a newly graduated college student? Is it worth it?"
"This shows how attractive you are to men." Wang Bo looked Shen Mi up and down: "But then again, after taking a closer look, you are indeed very beautiful. Why didn't I..."
"What do you want?"
Xie Rongzhuo's chilling voice rang out.
Wang Bo waved his hands and stepped back: "Appreciation, purely appreciation of all beautiful things."
Xie Rongzhuo: "You are very capable at work."
Wang Bo: "Yes, otherwise I would have been fired by now."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Very smart too."
Wang Bo: "I know very well that a friend's wife should not be cheated on. From now on I will never look at her again."
Xie Rongzhuo: "I just like making friends with smart people."
Wang Bo: "I wish our friendship will last forever."
Shen Mi: “…”
Doesn’t “Don’t cheat on your friend’s wife” refer to your wife
Xie Rongzhuo identified himself with the character quite naturally.
*
The inspection was over and Wang Bo was in a hurry to return to Beijing. Although Xie Rongzhuo seemed cold on the surface, he was actually quite nice to him and even personally sent him to the airport when he was injured.
Before going through security check, Wang Bo asked, "Do you want to keep it confidential?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "I don't want her to be hurt again."
Wang Bo: "She has brains, ability, and the ability to endure hardships, but unfortunately she is too beautiful, which makes her easy to attract rumors."
Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyelids: "Is it beautiful?"
Wang Bo took a step back and crossed his arms like an Ultraman defending himself: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving. I'll leave right now!"
After walking a few steps, he came back pushing the box and said, "Aren't you going to attend Mr. Xu's family dinner the day after tomorrow? Aren't you going back to Beijing with me?"
"You go for me."
Xie Rongzhuo looked at the girl standing at the door and talking on the phone.
If you don't keep an eye on her, her brother will be able to form a team and play football in a few days.
*
After Shen Mi answered the phone, Xie Rongzhuo also came out. She looked at his injured right hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Xie Rongzhuo took her hand and chuckled, "This is the third time you ask."
Shen Mi: "The injury is on your body, the pain is in my heart!"
Xie Rongzhuo: "I have a girlfriend who loves to say sweet words."
Shen Mi seemed to be very experienced, and said confidently: "If you don't say it, I won't say it either. How boring is it to be in a relationship? Couples always need to complement each other."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Well, you have more experience than me."
His words sounded calm, but Shen Mi felt sour.
"If I say that Ke Zhan and I... um—"
Shen Mi opened his big eyes, staring at the handsome eyebrows and eyes so close to him, and his eyelashes fluttered blankly.
Xie Rongzhuo held the back of her head and bit her lips lightly.
"Shen Mi, I am petty and don't want to hear this person's name again."
Shen Mi covered his painful lower lip and turned his face away angrily.
Xie Rongzhuo stared at the back of her head, suddenly regretting his loss of control just now, and went over to pull her hand: "Are you angry?"
She pushed him away in disgust.
Xie Rongzhuo's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said softly: "Shen Mi?"
Shen Mi turned back suddenly: "If you want to bite, bite it, but can you please not bite the same spot every time!"
Xie Rongzhuo: “…”
She stood on tiptoe, pouted her lips, and said incoherently: "It's all broken!"
Xie Rongzhuo bent down and stared at her lips, as if he was examining them carefully.
"It's not broken."
Shen Mi wanted to say something, but Xie Rongzhuo's face changed slightly. She was startled and stepped forward to hold his injured hand: "Did I hurt you just now?"
Xie Rongzhuo pursed his lips and said "hmm", changing the subject: "What did Mo Yuanzhe say?"
The call Shen Mi just received was from Mo Yuanzhe: "He promised to compensate the workers for the past three months' wages and compensate Li Youcai for his losses."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Congratulations, Boss Shen, the matter has been resolved."
"Thank you." Shen Mi forgot about the pain from being bitten just now and raised his chin proudly, "Mo Yuanzhe is not afraid of anything except his son not recognizing him. I didn't expect that I would find the right breakthrough point by accident this time."
She looked at Xie Rongzhuo: "I wasn't so lucky before. Your good luck must have been passed on to me."
Xie Rongzhuo smiled faintly and said, "You are capable."
The problem was solved, Shen Mi felt relaxed all over, even the wind blowing on his face became comfortable.
Xie Rongzhuo reached out and brushed away the scattered hair on her cheek that was blown by the wind, and asked, "Which week do you plan to go back?"
Shen Mi's ponytail was entangled between his fingers. She tilted her head, tiptoed and rubbed his palm, her eyes slightly curved: "Tomorrow. Go to work on Tuesday, okay, boss?"
The cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number from Xinjiang. Shen Mi didn't want to answer it, but she was in a good mood today, and Uncle Zhong said that.
She motioned Xie Rongzhuo to wait for her, then walked aside and answered the phone: "What do you want?"
Oupelan: "Mi Mi, Mommy heard that you are doing business with someone? Your personality is not suitable for business, just like your dad—"
Shen Mi interrupted her: "Then do you think I am fit to live?"
"That's not what Mom meant. If you don't want to do business, you can find another job. How can you not find a good job after graduating from a prestigious university? Starting a business is difficult. You can fail at any time. You have so many choices. Why do you have to follow your father's old path?"
Shen Mi smiled and said calmly, "From childhood to adulthood, I have been kicked around like a ball. I finally got into college, but you said I was not suitable for studying finance and burned my admission letter. After graduation, when I went to look for a job, I was replaced by someone with connections and was repeatedly ruined by wealthy businessmen. In the end, I could only apply for a secretary position. For me, there is no such thing as a suitable job or not. As long as it can solve the problem of food and clothing, it is a good job. There is no choice. Now you come to tell me that I can choose. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
She couldn't defeat those people and could only attribute everything to her bad luck.
Just psychological comfort.
"It's mom's fault. You've been wronged. Mom has never considered your feelings, nor helped you, causing you to suffer so much."
Shen Mi smiled and said, "I still want to thank you for bringing me into this world. I will take care of you in your old age, but let's forget about meeting. I don't know you very well, and the only thing I remember is you beating and scolding me when I was a child. To be honest, I will still have a shadow in my heart after meeting you."
"Mi Mi, don't say that. Mom just wants to care about you. I'm not asking you for money. I have a husband and a son. Your brother will take care of me in my old age. From now on, Mom will never disturb your life again..."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mi returned to Xie Rongzhuo and smiled at him to express that he was fine and did not need comfort.
Xie Rongzhuo held her head, brought her into his arms, and continued the previous topic, asking: "Why don't you go home and take a look?"
Shen Mi shook his head: "My house collapsed during the earthquake. It should have been turned into a vegetable garden now."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Where's your father? Don't you need to go and pay respect to him?"
Shen Mi said: "I escaped. I haven't been back to sweep my father's grave for five years. The mountain road will change. I may not be able to find it."
Xie Rongzhuo said: "I'll go with you to find it."
*
It was already half past ten when we got back to the B&B.
After going to the Internet cafe and the hospital, Shen Mi always felt the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and disinfectant on his body. He was afraid that his hair would not dry, so he went to take a shower first.
I came out with my hair wrapped up and the midnight snack was served.
Shen Mi was so hungry that he didn't even have time to blow dry his hair. He squatted over and ate a roasted eggplant and a roasted chicken leg.
"How do you know I like these?"
Xie Rongzhuo helped her get the trash can over: "I guessed."
Shen Mi suddenly thought of something and looked up at him: "I remember one time, I went to a barbecue restaurant next to the community to pack up some food, and I also bought these. I also met a few drunks that day."
Xie Rongzhuo tore two pieces of tissue paper with his left hand, sat next to her, and bent down to wipe the barbecue sauce from the corner of her mouth.
"Can you be more polite? I took a bath in vain."
Shen Mi smiled innocently, raised her face to cooperate with him in wiping, and then said: "They followed me and wanted to take advantage of me, but guess what happened? Suddenly a car drove over, turned on the lights, and scared those people away!"
Her accent is becoming more and more like Xie Rongzhuo.
Xie Rongzhuo said calmly, "Oh," "Are you moved?"
Shen Mi nodded: "Of course, just imagine, it's a dark night, I'm surrounded by a group of bad guys, and then a handsome guy drives a big G and rushes over, turns on the lights to serve as street lights for me, and escorts me all the way to my door. It's hard not to be moved, right?"
After saying this, she looked at Xie Rongzhuo's expression.
Xie Rongzhuo picked up a skewer of barbecue and stuffed it into her mouth: "Don't chat while eating."
Shen Mi bit the meat he fed her and raised his eyes: "You still don't admit it? Big Brother G."
Maybe he finds it embarrassing to stalk his crush.
Xie Rongzhuo stood up: "I'm going to take a shower."
"Big G, are you shy?"
Shen Mi put down the skewers and chased to the glass wall of the bathroom.
Staring at the swaying figure inside, I suddenly remembered Xie Rongzhuo's injury.
Her tone became worried. “Can you use one hand? I can help you take it off?”
Xie Rongzhuo turned his head, and the translucent frosted glass was useless. Apart from his thin and strong waist and abdominal muscles, Shen Mi could even see his expression that looked a bit like he had a headache.
"Stop it, turn around."
"oh."
Shen Mi turned around and faced away from him: "I'll wait here, call me if you can't."
Xie Rongzhuo: “…”
*
Only when he fell asleep in bed at night did Shen Mi have time to think back to the scene that day.
The words Xie Rongzhuo said to Ou Xiaopeng made her feel very protected and indescribably at ease.
I thought he was gentle and polite, but it turns out Xie Rongzhuo can be so fierce when he loses his temper.
Especially the moment when he knocked Ou Xiaopeng down, it was so cool! No wonder he could lift her up and kiss her with one hand.
Shen Mi's face got a little hot.
The feeling now is just like that heart-pounding moment when the master descended from the sky when I was being bullied in the game before.
But now it is no longer that kind of heartbeat that is hard to grasp.
But it was real, the sense of security and happiness that came from having this person by her side.
"Thank you, Rongzhuo."
Shen Mi called softly: "Are you asleep?"
Xie Rongzhuo: “No.”
Shen Mi bit her lip and asked quietly in the quilt: "Do you want to come together?"
It was quiet outside for a moment, and suddenly two "dong dong" footsteps were heard. Shen Mi felt a gust of wind blowing in, and in the blink of an eye, she was caught in a strong arm's embrace.
"good."
Xie Rongzhuo's breath penetrated into his neck.
Shen Mi: “…”
Did he teleport in?!
The author has something to say:
No, he is waiting for you to call him!
