Chen Yaozhong was here.
His tall and thin figure was sitting in a wheelchair. Although he was wearing a loose hospital gown, his posture was still straight. He exuded a dignified aura that came from years of military service.
His face was slightly pale, and his cheeks were sunken. Due to the exhaustion after the operation, he had some dark circles under his eyes. However, these could not affect his good looks. His bright eyes did not have the confusion and confusion of a patient. As he looked around, there was still sharpness and confidence, silently showing some of the handsome demeanor of the past.
When Chen Jiamei met his gaze, he could not help but shudder. He hurriedly stood up and forced a smile. "Dad, why didn't you rest in the ward? Didn't the doctor say that... you need to rest? "
She lifted her eyes and looked at the nurse behind him. Her voice was domineering as she questioned, "How do you do your job? Who gave you the right to push my father out of the ward? What if he catches a cold? What if his lungs are infected? Can you bear the responsibility for this? You're simply... "
Before she could finish her sentence...
Chen Yaozhong coughed softly.
Although his voice was not loud, Chen Jiamei seemed to have received a 'switch' signal. He immediately shut his mouth and stood respectfully to the side.
Chen Jiaxuan did not dare to speak either.
The siblings looked at their foster father in awe.
Chen Yaozhong lifted his eyes and frowned slightly. "Mei Xiang, since when are you in charge of my whereabouts?"
Chen Jiamei hurriedly explained, "Dad, I'm not! I'm just concerned about you! "
Chen Yaozhong raised his large, well-defined hand and stopped her forcefully. "Also, this is a public place. How can you yell at the nurse like that? You have no manners!"
Chen Jiamei did not dare to talk back, but he was unwilling to do nothing. He quickly walked over and replaced the nurse who was pushing the wheelchair. He bent down and whispered in his ear coquettishly, "Dad, I was wrong. Please don't scold me in front of other people."
She was, after all, Chen Yaozhong's daughter that he had raised for 20 years. To put it bluntly, raising a dog still had feelings. Not to mention, Chen Yaozhong had always treated this adopted daughter as his own to make up for the regrets in his heart. Naturally, he would love her even more. Seeing her acting like a spoiled child, his stern face softened. He slightly turned his head and said, "Mei Xiang 'er, I really don't like your habit of yelling."
"I'll change! I'll definitely change next time! "
Chen Jiamei knew how to read people's eyes.
To be honest, the reason she had been doted on by the Chen family all these years was not only because of her looks, but also because she was good at pretending.
Chen Jiamei always pretended to be a well-behaved "little girl" in front of his adoptive father. As for what kind of person he was behind the scenes, he did not dare to show it in front of his adoptive father. "Dad, you've just recovered. It's cold outside. You shouldn't have come out!"
She eagerly took off her coat and draped it over Chen Yaozhong's shoulders. Her tone was exceptionally gentle … and she tried her best to flatter him. "Dad, I see that your complexion is particularly good today. Looking at you, I'm afraid that you'll be discharged in a few days."
Huh?
She was so good at talking.
She pretended to look around. "Where's Auntie Tang? Why isn't she by your side? Dad, we have to admit that ever since Auntie Tang came to America, she has brought a lot of happiness and good luck to our family. You're smiling more and more, and your health is getting better … I'm so happy. "
Her little mouth …
"Papa!"
There was really no one else like her.
Chen Yaozhong snorted. "You have a good mouth!"
Chen Jiamei pretended to smile bashfully and dragged out his words. "Dad, I'm telling the truth! I'm really grateful to Auntie Tang from the inside out! Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore! Oh! By the way, how's the doctor I found from Egypt? He's an internationally renowned lung specialist. It took a lot of effort to invite him over to treat you! He stayed in Cairo for four or five days! "
This was equivalent to … explaining where she was going without batting an eyelid.
Chen Yaozhong was expressionless. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He paused for a moment and said, "That's great! Your Auntie Tang went shopping … "
Chen Jiamei's heart skipped a beat. He anxiously raised his voice by half an octave. "She went out?"
She immediately realized that she had lost her composure and immediately tried to salvage the situation … She put on a sincere expression and said, "Dad, if Auntie Tang wants to go shopping, she can tell me. I can accompany her, or even buy it for her! She's alone in America, she doesn't speak the language, and she's not familiar with the streets … "
Chen Yaozhong squinted at her. "You don't have to worry about that. I know how to protect my woman!"
Chen Jiamei did not dare to meet his sharp gaze and quickly lowered his head.
Chen Yaozhong tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair with his finger. "That's great! Xi Ling isn't here! I want to talk to you and your sister! "
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly took half a step forward and said respectfully, "Dad, I'm listening."
Chen Yaozhong turned his gaze to the window and looked at the bleak trees. Suddenly, he felt emotional and softly recited, "The moon is white and the wind is clear, but the sorrow withers away. Although the hair has changed, the heart has not changed. Try to listen to the old song again, it's like the sound of drunkenness in the past. "
Although he was a foreigner, he was also a well-read person … Back then, his family was well-off, so he naturally had a strong foundation in Chinese. Now that he was feeling emotional, he was able to form a poem.
The siblings did not know what he meant, so neither of them dared to say anything.
After a while, Chen Yaozhong sighed softly and lifted his chin at his adopted son. "Jia?" "Jiajia, push me back to the ward!"
Chen Jiamei said softly, "Dad, let me push him."
Chen Yaozhong pretended not to hear and hooked his finger at his adopted son. Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly stepped forward to take his sister's place and slowly pushed his father back to the ward.
Chen Jiamei stood in the corridor and looked at the backs of the father and son. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
As expected …
When she entered the ward again, Chen Yaozhong's face was as gloomy as still water … After being together for so long, she knew that her father's expression was a sign of danger.
Chen Yaozhong had been in the army for many years. He used to be an outstanding commander and was used to fighting in the battlefield with his head on his belt. Later, he fought in the business world and achieved such extraordinary results. It was not hard to imagine that he was an extremely introverted person. He was able to keep his cool in everything and almost never got angry. There was no need for him to get angry. Just the aura of "being in a high position for a long time" alone was not to be underestimated.
Chen Jiamei did not dare to sit down. Now, she did not dare to act like a spoiled child. She stood aside obediently and quietly waited for her father to speak.
Chen Yaozhong spoke in a low and powerful voice, "I've been in the army for half my life and my hands have been stained with blood. Every time I think about it, I regret it sometimes, but there's no other way! I used to be a soldier, so killing the enemy is my duty! After that, I went into business. I don't dare to say that I'm a good person. In order to expand my business … I've schemed a lot! "
He changed the topic, "I've owed countless people in my life, but I can pat my chest and say that I've done nothing wrong to the two of you! I've raised you for 20 years and gave you the best that I could! Now that you're both adults, my responsibility has come to an end! It doesn't matter if you're grateful or not. All in all, I still care about our relationship … I'm prepared to leave you 10% of the shares after I die! "
"…"
"The people I owe the most are my wife and daughter in the mainland! I don't need to tell you the reason behind this! I only need to say one thing. In the past 20 years, they've endured hardships waiting for me. They've even been implicated because of my identity. While you're enjoying life, they're suffering. Now, it's time for me to repay them! Because of this, I'm planning to leave the rest of my assets to them! "
Chen Yaozhong didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "If you have any objections, I'll let you know. Now, say it in front of me! Let's talk it over nicely and I'll consider it! If you do one thing in front of me and another behind my back and don't say anything in front of me, but do some dirty tricks behind my back. You want to make a move on Mi Xiang 'er and her daughter and steal their property, then I'm sorry … Don't blame me for being ruthless! "
He smiled coldly, "I've never been a kind person. Even though I'm sick, I don't care about sand in my eyes. I care about my family for 20 years, so I can be a little tolerant. But if anyone dares to touch my bottom line, I'll make him …"
Before he could finish his sentence …
He suddenly waved his hand, and with a "bang" sound, the cup on the coffee table was knocked down … The cup fell to the ground, and the pieces scattered everywhere.
Chen Jiamei was so frightened that he screamed and quickly retreated to the corner.
Chen Yaozhong raised his bright eyes and stared at Chen Jiamei aggressively. "Let me ask you! Do you have something to confess to me? Tell me before it's too late! "
