Hearing Xie Kai's words, Shen Qi's face became serious.
Shen Yuan and Zhou Xinlei were also aware of the situation.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuan asked.
Shen Qi hung up the phone, got up to get his coat, and said, "I'm going out for a while, Brother Kai is waiting for me downstairs."
Thank you
Zhou Xinlei and Shen Yuan looked at each other.
Zhou Xinlei asked: "You still go out with Brother Kai so late? Is there something urgent? I'll go with you..."
The relationship between Shen Qi and Xie Kai has always been very good, because Xie Kai is under the pressure, the media dare not follow the rhythm, but if they go out together so late, if they are photographed by the paparazzi, they may cause trouble.
"Well, it's urgent." Shen Qi frowned, but still comforted the two roommates, "It's okay, I will be back soon, I will be careful."
Shen Qi doesn't want too many people to know about the bond between her and Xie's family.
Shen Yuan was worried after thinking about it, so she made a phone call and went out.
"Hey, Mr. He, there seems to be something wrong with Shenqi... yes, she went out, with Teacher Xie Kai... didn't say where..."
Eight thirty in the evening.
As soon as Shen Qi went downstairs, he saw Xie Kai's flamboyant sports car, and Xie Kai waved at the window. Shen Qi covered the brim of his hat, made sure that there was no one around, and quickly got on the passenger seat. After the car drove out of the park and was driving smoothly on the expressway, she asked, "What's going on? Why did it suddenly happen again? Didn't we agree last time?"
Xie Kai's face was full of exhaustion. He had just stayed up all night in the shed, and only slept for three hours in the morning, when he received a call from Steward Wen, informing him that his grandfather had been hospitalized. It happened so suddenly that he was still in a daze until now.
"I don't know," Xie Kai shook his head, "Yesterday he called me to go home for dinner, and the housekeeper told me at noon that Grandpa is in emergency."
Xie Kai blamed himself very much, "The doctor said, tonight is the key... I, I know that grandpa likes you very much, so I think, if grandpa wakes up and sees you, he might be happy."
Xie Kai knew that he was a bit reckless, he took a female artist out so late, without a reasonable explanation. But he really couldn't help it. When the doctor told him that the old man was critically ill at noon, his mind went blank, and the first thing he thought of was Shenqi.
Steward Wen said that grandpa fainted suddenly. Before he fainted, they were happily chatting about Shenqi.
Grandpa kept secret about Shen Qi's identity. He had been relying on his own imagination and guessing, but one thing he was sure of was that grandpa treated Shen Qi differently. If grandpa really...he must want to see her, or It is through her "shadow" to see someone.
"Thank you for being willing to come out with me." Xie Kai was a little confused at the moment.
Shen Qi reassured: "He... grandpa will be fine."
The little nephew has been a formidable person since he was a child. Even though he is in his nineties now, he has always been in good health. She doesn't believe that a disease can easily defeat him.
The car was driving smoothly on the elevated road, when a notification sound came from the mobile phone, Shen Qi looked down and saw that it was He Beidi who asked where she was.
Shen Qi reported the address of a hospital.
"Is it Mr. He?" Xie Kai asked, "It doesn't matter if he is here, but I was reckless. I will explain to him."
If they were photographed traveling at night, it would definitely cause trouble for Shenqi, but with He Beidi present, that's another story. It can be said that they were talking about work.
"Brother Kai, don't worry about this, grandpa's health is important."
It can be seen that although Xie Kai is afraid of the old man, he has a deep affection for his grandfather. He put down all his work and stayed in the hospital all day. He panicked when he heard that night was a dangerous period, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Shenqi in the middle of the night.
It was very strange, it was obviously a girl much younger than him, but under her persuasion, Xie Kai's mood miraculously calmed down. He even had an illusion, as if Shen Qi, who had never met his grandfather before him, knew the old man better than himself.
After arriving at the hospital, they went straight to the intensive care unit. At that time, only the doctor and housekeeper Wen were communicating in the corridor. Xie Jizhang's illness was too sudden this time, and most of Xie's family members are abroad, except for Xie Kai, the others will not come back for a while.
Seeing Shen Qi for the first time, Steward Wen was stunned.
Although I have watched it countless times in the video, and I have also seen the stage, but when the girl really appeared at the end of the corridor, Steward Wen still felt a light in front of his eyes, like the moon suddenly appearing in the dark night.
"This is Uncle Wen, Grandpa's friend." Xie Kai introduced.
Although it is a housekeeper's job, in fact, the entire Xie family regards Wen Steward as a family member. Steward Wen is not short of money. He has been with the old man as an assistant since he was very young. He has accumulated a lot of savings over the years. The reason why he has stayed in Xie's house is to be with the old man. He said that he had been beating the old man all his life, and he didn't know what else to do when he stopped. Now that everyone is old, it's better to chat and drink tea together.
"We are no strangers." Wen Butler smiled, "Miss Shen Qi, we finally meet."
Shen Qi was taken aback, "You are..."
"I'm also a member of the support club." Wen Butler blinked, "'Stir-fried Dutch Peas' is an account shared by me and the master."
I see!
Shen Qi thought of the row of monosodium glutamate factory workers in the support club group, and also thought of the big management of the support club that the fourth generation had told him, and it became clear instantly. No wonder her support club has never worried about money... I didn't expect her support to be so solid and powerful.
Shen Qi turned his head to the side and looked into the glass window. This is the intensive care unit, through the glass you can see the white-haired old man lying inside, Shen Qi's heart twitches.
That's why she never took the initiative to meet her old friend.
Whether it is Lao Chu or Ji Yanxing who died young, for them, she is just a passer-by who jumped in line, a non-parallel straight line, and after meeting once, she gradually drifts away, because she does not exist in their "time" "Among them.
But she's human too, she's not made of iron, she doesn't want to see old people grow old, she doesn't want to see them grow old, she doesn't want to be reminded of the fact that their time and feelings are out of sync with hers.
The face of the old man in his twilight years has not been stained with too much wind and frost, except for his sick appearance, he can vaguely see the spirit of the little nephew on stage back then. In an instant, many long-buried memories poured out like a tide, and the things she thought she had forgotten were still fresh and surging.
Even the little nephew is already so old, if I don't come today, is it possible that I won't even be able to see this side
Shen Qi's eyes were a little wet - she should have come earlier.
When Xie Jizhang woke up, he felt very heavy.
He knew that he fainted suddenly, and probably knew the reason. After the age of seventy, this problem would occur from time to time, but he could wake up quickly in the past, but recently it has become more and more serious.
He felt that there was someone beside the bed, and he didn't really want to open his eyes, but a voice was calling him, and he couldn't ignore it, it seemed to be...
"Jizhang... Xie Jizhang, nephew?"
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the girl in front of him, he was in a trance for a moment.
"Who are you… "
The girl smiled, although her face had changed, but the expression in her eyes remained the same as before.
"Little nephew, I'm here to see you."
The dry eye sockets of the old man were instantly moistened, but no tears could lie down. He tried to make a sound, but the oxygen mask blocked his movements.
"You can't talk yet." Shen Qi shook his skinny palm, and said warmly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a minor illness. Uncle Shi is by your side, and nothing will happen."
Listening to the gentle comfort, Xie Jizhang returned to the past in a trance. In the past, the thirteen-year-old boy had a cold, and he was sick in the same way. Shen Qi and Xie Nansheng took care of him together. Those two were sitting by the bed, they looked like a talented man and a woman, just like the gifted scholars and beautiful ladies written in operas. They chatted one after another, and the girls would tell awkward jokes that weren't funny at all, just like a family...
He was lonely since he was a child, but Master Nan Sheng took him in and entrusted the Xie family to him, that was the happiest period of his life.
The doctor said that Xie Jizhang's condition was turbulent, but fortunately he was out of danger. The doctor said it was a sudden cerebral infarction, but the condition has been brought under control, so it should be fine to take a good rest.
The visiting time was very short. After Shen Qi left the ward, Steward Wen went in again. When he came out, Xie Kai was about to send Shen Qi away, but Wen Butler caught up.
"Miss Shen, please stop." Steward Wen held a dozen papers in his hand and handed them to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi looked down and frowned: "This is..."
"The master asked the young master to go home today. It was originally for this matter. I didn't expect..." he said, "I originally wanted to hand it over to you, and now it's the same as giving it to you directly."
Xie Kai looked at the cover, "Isn't this the movie that grandpa wanted to invest in a few years ago?"
Later, because the actor still couldn't meet the requirements of the old man, the old man lost his temper, so he never mentioned this matter again. He gave this to Shen Qi because... he wanted Shen Qi to act
Butler Wen shook his head, "Miss Shenqi, we have no other intentions. The master just ordered to show you this, but I don't know the details. I think he probably has something and wants to let you know through this." .”
"Okay, I'll watch it," Shen Qi accepted the script and said solemnly, "Tell him to rest well, don't think too much, and I will come to see him again."
"yes."
Xie Kai watched Steward Wen and Shen Qi's conversation subtly. The subtle sense of age in their words seemed to be communicating with peers, while he was a spectator who couldn't speak.
"Shen Qi?"
At the end of the corridor, the figure of He Beidi appeared. Shen Qi was startled, then laughed, "So fast?"
It was obvious that he rushed over after receiving the call.
He Beidi is not at the company today, but at home, not far from the hospital. On the way, he had already heard Shen Qi talk about the situation of Xie's family. He didn't ask about her relationship with Xie's family, but said that he would be there soon.
He Beidi came to the window and felt a little depressed when he saw the old man inside. This Mr. Xie is a big name in the opera world, and he has long admired his name. It wasn't until the first meeting was under such circumstances.
Nodding with Xie Kai, he said: "Since Mr. Xie is still ill, it is better to have relatives stay in the hospital to accompany him. I will send Shen Qi back."
Xie Kai recklessly kidnapped Hua Dan in the middle of the night, he was a little embarrassed at first, but now seeing that He Beidi didn't blame him, he naturally apologized and thanked him repeatedly.
After sending the two of them to the elevator, Xie Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but every time he sees He Beidi, he feels like "not daring to make mistakes". Even in front of his grandfather, he didn't behave like that. At most, he was afraid of being beaten, but He Beidi was famous for being gentle and good-tempered, and he didn't know how to beat him. What was he afraid of
It's almost the same feeling as when I was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall when I was a child, facing the portrait of my grandpa.
At that time, the bell of the hospital bed rang, and Steward Wen hurried back to the intensive care unit.
The old man no longer needs an oxygen mask, but because he hasn't eaten, he doesn't have much strength. Steward Wen leaned down, barely hearing his words.
Xie Jizhang asked, who was the person next to Shen Qi just now
