After sending Auntie Zhang off, Chen Xi took a taxi from the airport and went straight to Jin City Resort.
Jin City Resort was not far from the airport. Half an hour later, Chen Xi arrived at the Ning family's villa.
Coincidentally, the person who sent Chen Xi in was the same security guard as last time. However, he seemed to have forgotten Chen Xi.
This time, it was not the middle-aged woman who opened the door. It was Ning Qiutong who ran out in her high heels.
"Mr. Chen, you're here … please come in."
Ning Qingxue was sitting in the courtyard reading a book. She wondered what was wrong with Ning Qiutong today. Why did she run faster than the housekeeper when she heard the doorbell ring?
When she saw that the one who entered was Chen Xi, a trace of surprise finally appeared on her face that had never melted in ten thousand years.
What was wrong with her sister?
She still did not know that Chen Xi was the one who cured Ning Zhongguo's illness. Ning Qiutong was too embarrassed to tell her about the misunderstanding between her and Chen Xi. Therefore, Ning Qingxue still did not know what happened between the two of them.
Seeing Chen Xi and Ning Qiutong walking side by side toward the door, Ning Qingxue thought for a moment. Then, she put down her book and followed them into the house.
She was indeed curious. She was there when Ning Qiutong chased them out last time. She did not expect that after only a few days, Ning Qiutong's attitude had completely changed.
It was not like her sister at all …
Chen Xi walked into the villa with Ning Qiutong leading the way.
As soon as they stepped through the door, Ning Zhongguo stood up from the sofa and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you're here. Please take a seat."
Chen Xi did not stand on ceremony. He sat down beside Ning Zhongguo and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
After this period of recuperation, Ning Zhongguo's complexion was now rosy and full of energy. There was no trace of illness at all.
After hearing Chen Xi's concern, Ning Zhongguo immediately laughed heartily and said, "Thanks to Mr. Chen, I'm much better now. I think I'll be fully recovered in a month. Thank you so much for saving my life …"
"You're welcome."
After the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Ning Zhongguo coughed lightly, and then said the reason he invited Chen Xi over today. "Mr Chen, there are two main reasons why I invited you over today. One is to set up a banquet to thank you for saving my life, and the other is to ask you a question …"
"Difficult problem?"
"Yes, it's like this. I have a friend who suddenly contracted a strange illness a year ago. He often feels cold all over his body. When I checked his body temperature, it was only around 20 degrees. It was very strange. Moreover, his hands and feet would cramp from time to time, and he could have an unbearable headache at any time. In his words, it was like the Monkey King being chained by the Golden Hoop Curse. "
"Cold all over, cramps, headache? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup? "asked Chen Xi.
"Yes, I did. I went to all the hospitals in the country and abroad, but they couldn't find any problems. I also asked Professor Xie, and he speculated that his symptoms were caused by a disorder of the brain nerves. This kind of illness can't be detected with current medical methods. It can only be detected by the patient's own symptoms, so the doctors can't provide him with effective treatment … "
"This situation has been going on for more than a year. He has been recuperating at home for the past year, but the situation is getting worse and worse. The headaches and cramps are becoming more and more frequent …"
"You're an expert, so I want to ask you for advice on his behalf to see if there's any way to treat it."
After hearing Ning Zhongguo's words, Chen Xi said uncertainly, "I can only be sure if I see him in person."
Chen Xi didn't know much about medicine, but he knew the structure of the human body.
Chen Xi knew every part of the human body, every blood vessel, and even every nerve.
He only needed to touch a person to know whether they were sick or not.
"Then … when will you be free?" asked Ning Zhongguo carefully.
"Tomorrow, at the same time."
"Okay! I'll pick you up then. He's not feeling well, so I'll have to trouble you to make the trip. I've already discussed the cost with him. Two million, is that okay? "
Hearing this, Chen Xi was taken aback.
When he saved Ning Zhongguo, he only received a hundred thousand. He didn't expect Ning Zhongguo to increase the price by twenty times. It was really out of his expectations.
"Okay." Chen Xi nodded.
Now that his reputation had been established, his value should naturally rise as well.
Two million wasn't expensive.
…
After lunch, Chen Xi took the Ning family's car back to Kangju Community.
It was 3: 30 in the afternoon.
In half an hour, the end of the world would come …
When he thought about the storm that was about to be set off by the demon queen Niannian, Chen Xi couldn't help but tremble.
What should I do?
Should I lie to her grandmother to do something, or should I tell her the truth?
Chen Xi was really in a dilemma.
As a father, it didn't seem good to lie to his daughter …
But if he didn't lie to her, how could he stop her from crying?
Chen Xi stood at the gate of the kindergarten and unknowingly ushered in the last half hour of the end of the world.
A melodious bell rang in the air above the kindergarten. Under the guidance of the teacher, the children rushed to the school gate while chattering.
"Papa!"
The little fellow saw Chen Xi at the other side of the iron gate and immediately raised her small hand and waved vigorously.
"Hey, good girl."
Chen Xi smiled and thanked Teacher Wang. Then he took the little fellow from her hand and picked her up.
"Papa, where's Grandma?"
The little fellow seemed to remember that it was her grandmother who sent her here in the morning, so she subconsciously thought that her grandmother would come to pick her up.
However, Chen Xi acted as if he didn't hear it.
After squeezing out of the crowd, Chen Xi smiled and said to her, "How was it? What did Teacher Wang teach you today?"
Hearing this, the little fellow was indeed led astray by Chen Xi and immediately forgot her question. She laughed and said, "Tangram! Teacher taught us to play tangram. It's so fun! "
"Oh? Tangram, awesome. Go home and play it for Papa, okay? "
"Okay! I know how to spell ducks! Deer! And rabbits! "
Along the way, Chen Xi kept changing the topic to distract Niannian.
The little fellow was amused by him along the way. Her small body sat on his arm and kept twisting and turning.
She was still young, so naturally there was no way for her to tell. Papa's smile became more and more forced.
Finally, they arrived home.
Chen Xi took out the key to open the door. The little fellow immediately motioned for her father to put her down.
Chen Xi hesitated, but under the little fellow's constant urging, he bent down and put her down.
Then, the little fellow immediately carried her schoolbag and ran to the kitchen.
"Grandma! Grandma! I'm back! "
The little fellow ran to the kitchen and saw no one.
So she immediately ran to the bedroom, hung herself on the doorknob, and struggled to open the door.
But after opening the door, the little fellow was stunned.
The box where Grandma put the clothes was gone, and the thick stack of clothes next to the dressing table was also gone.
The quilt was neatly folded, and the room was as clean as usual.
It seemed that something was different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different.
"Grandma?"
Seeing no one in the room, the little fellow immediately ran to the bathroom.
The bathroom was also not there.
She ran to Chen Xi, then raised her small head and hugged Chen Xi's leg and asked, "Papa, did Grandma go to buy groceries?"
Looking at Niannian's big bright eyes, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh heavily and squat down gently.
He held the little fellow in his arms, and then whispered, "Niannian, Grandma left and went home."
The little fellow didn't seem to understand Chen Xi's meaning, and hurriedly asked, "This is our home. Where did Grandma go?"
Chen Xi really couldn't tell a four-year-old child the relationship between their family and Aunt Zhang, so he could only take the little fellow to the sofa, and then said to her earnestly, "Grandma doesn't live here anymore. In the future, we'll go to see her once a month, okay?"
"Doesn't live here anymore?"
The little fellow seemed to finally understand Chen Xi's meaning.
She stared at Chen Xi in a daze and didn't speak.
Chen Xi saw that there was something wrong with her eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Oh no!
Sure enough, before Chen Xi had time to say the next word, a heart-wrenching cry sounded in the room.
