"It's okay."
"Assistant Guan, since you insist on calling me Mrs. Liang, shouldn't you listen to me?" Bai Lu frowned. This was the first time she had used her status to pressure someone. "Look at your face. I don't want people to say that I've been spoiled since childhood and that I've caused someone to pass out just by staying in the hospital for a few days. Don't you just want to see me? Go inside and rest. You'll be able to see more clearly! "
"… I …"
"Don't 'I' you. If I tell you to go in, go in."
Guan Chao knew that Bai Lu was being kind, so he was naturally grateful. After thinking about it, he said, "… Mrs. Liang, you go in and rest first. I'll go get your clothes for you."
"I'll go myself."
"Mrs. Liang …"
"Assistant Guan, do you know what size hospital gown I wear? I'll go get it myself. You go in and I'll be back soon. Don't worry. Although I'm not satisfied with Liang Feifan's actions, I won't joke about my own health. I've never thought of giving up on the child in my belly. Are you relieved now? "
…
Guan Chao kept quiet. He was indeed very tired, but he was still worried. So when Bai Lu walked in front of him, he still followed behind, keeping a distance.
When Bai Lu turned the corner of the long corridor, she knew that Guan Chao had been following behind her. She shook her head helplessly. He was really stubborn.
It was late at night, so most of the nurses in the hospital had gotten off work. Only a few were on duty. Bai Lu walked around before she found the nurses' station. Just as she was about to walk up, a young nurse rushed over with a basin and bumped into her.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
The nurse was probably shocked. The things in her hands fell to the ground with a clatter. A small bottle fell beside Bai Lu's feet. Glass shards flew everywhere and cut Bai Lu's fingers. She hissed. The young nurse hurriedly dropped the things in her hands and ran over to hold her hand. "Miss, are you okay? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I walked over in a hurry. "
"… I'm fine." It was just a small cut, so Bai Lu didn't take it to heart. He shook his head and said, "I didn't see you coming out when I was walking. Don't worry, it's just a small cut. I'll go to the bathroom and wash it."
"Mrs. Liang, are you alright?"
Guan Chao hurriedly ran over with a gloomy expression, scaring the nurse so much that she sat down on the ground. She panicked and apologized, "… I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose … I'm sorry …"
"Forget it, forget it. I'm fine." Bai Lu grabbed Guan Chao's sleeve and stood up. He shook his hand and said, "Don't scare the nurse. I'm fine. I'm going to the bathroom now."
"But, Mrs. Liang …"
"I said I'm fine."
Bai Lu shook his head in annoyance, turned around, and walked into the restroom.
Actually, it was just a small cut, and blood was seeping out. Bai Lu rinsed her finger with cold water for a while and held it in her mouth for a few minutes. Finally, when she saw that her finger was no longer bleeding, she walked out of the restroom.
Guan Chao was still waiting at the restroom door. Bai Lu shook her head helplessly and walked past him to find a nurse. She asked for a new set of clothes before returning to the room.
She let Guan Chao in and let him rest on the sofa in the living room of the suite. She went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she came out, she asked the man sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, "I want to see my mother now. Do I need you to make the necessary arrangements?"
Guan Chao immediately stood up and said, "Mrs. Liang, it's actually very late now. It's not convenient for you to go to the ICU."
"What's not convenient about it? Can't you just wear this set of clothes? "
"Mrs. Liang, how about tomorrow?" Guan Chao thought that Liang Feifan should be back tomorrow. Chin Jin-hee was not in a very good condition at the moment, and he wanted to delay as much time as possible. "Tomorrow, we'll wait for Mr. Liang to come over …"
"You even need Liang Feifan's permission to see my mother?" Bai Lu frowned and sneered. He no longer had any desire to speak. "Whatever. If you want to sleep, you can sleep here. I'll be outside in the hospital bed. I can't run away."
…
9: 30 p.m.
When Liang Feifan's car drove into the Liang residence, it was still brightly lit. Liang Jingxiao was back today, and Li Tanglin was watching TV with her daughter in the living room. Liang Jingxiao was almost six months pregnant, and she had calmed down a lot recently. However, she did not expect Liang Feifan to be back today. The moment she saw him, her expression changed.
In the end, she still blamed Xiang Longjin's incident on him. Liang Jingxiao put down the half apple in her hand awkwardly and said to Li Tanglin, "Mom, I'm going to the restroom."
Li Tanglin watched her daughter leave in a hurry and smiled stiffly at her son. "… Feifan, why are you back so late?"
Although Chin Jin-hee's incident had come to an end, Li Tanglin was still worried that her son would find out something. The police had already told her that Bai Lu had said that he had witnessed everything. Her son had always doted on that woman, so how could he not believe her words?
In the past few days, she could clearly feel that Liang Feifan had distanced himself from her.
Liang Feifan's gaze did not stop on Li Tanglin for too long. He could probably feel his mother's stiffness. He pulled his tie emotionlessly, took off his jacket, and hung it on his long arm. "I'm here to look for father. Is he resting?"
"… Oh, he's upstairs in the study."
"Okay, I'll go up first."
"… Feifan."
Liang Feifan's foot was already on the stairs. When he heard her, he paused. He did not turn around, but he turned his body slightly. Li Tanglin took two steps forward but stopped halfway. There was a certain distance between the mother and son. Li Tanglin's words seemed to be stuck in her throat, but she swallowed them back. After going back and forth countless times, she said weakly, "… It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you would like to stay at home tonight. I'll go tidy up your room. "
"It's okay."
"…?"
Li Tanglin looked at her son's back disappointedly as he walked up the stairs. He walked further and further away until he finally disappeared from her sight. Her heart fell straight into a bottomless abyss.
She reached out and clutched her chest. Her slender eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Actually, she didn't feel good either. These days, she had nightmares every night. She was afraid that she would talk in her sleep and that Liang Jiannan would hear her. Although the police had already settled the matter, Shen Hentian would definitely not betray her. When the time came for the verdict, he would only be charged with accidental injury, and it wouldn't be too serious.
However, a person's conscience would remind him every day and every night of what he had done, and who he had wronged …
Upstairs in the study.
When Liang Feifan pushed the door open and entered, Liang Jiannan was reading a thick book with a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he heard footsteps, he looked up. When he saw the person standing at the door, he closed the book and looked a little surprised.
"Why are you suddenly here? Is something the matter? "
This was the first time Liang Feifan saw his father wearing reading glasses. In fact, after he became an adult, there was already a generation gap between him and Liang Jiannan. Whether it was his career or the way he handled things, he didn't quite agree with his father in some aspects. As time passed, there were fewer interactions. Later on, he went to EC. Later on, something happened to the Liang Clan because of him. Then, he returned to the Liang Clan … It didn't seem to be a long time ago. However, for the first time, he realized that his father was already old.
"There is something."
Liang Feifan put away his emotions and personally closed the door. He sat on the stool opposite Liang Jiannan. He didn't intend to beat around the bush with Liang Jiannan. Ye Zijie had made such a solemn vow, so he had already guessed that this matter was definitely not simple. Therefore, time was of the essence. He just wanted to get to the bottom of the situation as soon as possible. "I originally planned to fly to the US tonight. Today is the last day. If I don't come up with a plan, the board of directors will definitely not give up tomorrow."
Liang Jiannan's eyes flashed. He had obviously been a coward when it came to the Liang Clan. He didn't want to face it because he didn't have the courage to do so. However, when his son suddenly brought it up, he suddenly realized that it was already the last day.
He reached out and took off his glasses. He lowered his eyes and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
Liang Feifan glanced at him. The uneasiness in his heart was growing. He simply reached out and lit a cigarette. He took two puffs, letting the taste of nicotine dilute his unnecessary emotions. "Father, I bumped into Ye Zijie at the airport. He told me some things. Of course, he didn't finish everything. However, I know that there is more to what he said. So, father, have you been hiding something from me all this time? "
Liang Jiannan had already guessed some things from before. However, when he heard Liang Feifan ask so directly, his expression suddenly changed.
"… What did Ye Zijie say to you?"
Liang Feifan reached out and picked up the ashtray beside him. "He told me. However, he told me to come back and ask you. You should know better."
"… He … What did he say to you?"
"Something that happened more than 20 years ago." Liang Feifan raised one of his eyebrows. He placed the cigarette between his fingers on the ashtray and said in a low voice, "Father, all these years, I have never agreed to cooperate with the Liang Clan. I think you know very well how much money they have taken from us. Ye Zijie is a sly old fox. Now that he is saying with such confidence that he has something on you more than 20 years ago, I can understand why you have tolerated him riding on the Liang Clan's head all these years."
"…?"
"You have never said anything. I think you must have your reasons. However, I am in charge of the Liang Clan now. So, I hope you can tell me."
