Yang Ming and Fei Ren looked at each other with pride in their eyes.
Chen Xing, you don't have to worry too much about Xing Tiande. You're Secretary Zhou's secretary now. I believe he won't dare to do anything to you. Just find a way to get the negatives in his hands. Fei Ren comforted him.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Don't worry, we're all brothers. We'll help you.
Thank you, both of you.
Chen Xing endured the disgust in his heart and laughed with them. His clenched fists under the quilt fully reflected his mood at the moment.
By the way, Chen Xing, there's something I really have to say to you. You asked Huang Ming to return the key to me the day before yesterday. You really don't treat me as a brother. That house is a token of my sincerity. You refused it like this. I feel that it's meaningless. Fei Ren pretended to be unhappy and said.
Originally, I wanted to give the key to you personally, but the city is preparing for the celebration of the sea bridge project. I don't have time to go there, so I can only call Huang Ming over and ask him to help me deliver it to you.
Sigh, Chen Xing, I don't know what to say to you. What you've done really makes me feel bad. Fei Ren sighed and said.
Brother Fei, I appreciate your kindness, really. But I really don't lack a house now. Besides, I rarely have friends to visit me, so I don't need a room. Chen Xing declined with a smile.
It's up to you. But I'll say this. Whenever you need a house, just come to me. I'll always keep it for you.
Come on, you young people eat some fruits first and then talk. At this time, Zou Fang came out from the inner room.
No, no, auntie, you're too polite. Fei Ren and Yang Ming stood up with a smile. Auntie, Chen Xing is still recovering and needs more rest. We won't disturb him anymore. We'll visit him another day.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay for a while if you're free. Zou Fang tried to persuade him to stay.
No, I'll come another day.
It was better to let Chen Xing rest more.
Fei Ren and Yang Ming said goodbye with a smile. As soon as they left the ward, the smile on their faces disappeared. Yang Ming looked at Fei Ren with uncertainty. Brother Fei, do you think Chen Xing believed him so easily? Then wouldn't he be too stupid?
Even if he doesn't believe it, he's only suspicious. This matter was started by Xing Tiande, and we're just insiders. We didn't get involved, so what does it have to do with us? Fei Ren pursed his lips.
But after all, we knew in advance that Xing Tiande wanted to frame Chen Xing, but we didn't tell him in time. I'm afraid that he also hates us in his heart. Although what he said just now removed us from the blame, I guess Chen Xing may have cursed us in his heart even though he didn't say anything.
So what? Unless he's a fool, it's impossible for us to expect him to believe us completely. But if we pour dirty water on Xing Tiande, it's enough to draw most of his attention to the other party. As for his suspicion towards us, we need to take the initiative to get close to him in the future and try our best to repair our relationship. I don't believe that he won't be able to move a needle or a ripple.
Hey, that's really hard to say. Brother Fei, look at your 200 square meters house, he's not tempted. I guess it'll be difficult to drag him down with us.
That's because we haven't found his weakness yet, otherwise … Hmph, I don't believe that a normal person like him won't be greedy for things, unless he becomes a saint.
The two walked away as they talked. In the ward, Zou Fang, who had just washed the fruits in the bathroom for a long time, was also talking to Chen Xing. Chen Xing, that person just now was the one who came to our house that night to give the keys to our house. Is he going to give the house to you again?
He did mention it, but how can I accept his house? If I accept it, I won't be able to get away with it.
Your classmate is really generous. Such a big house is worth a few million, and he just gave it away without blinking an eye. Zou Fang shook her head and smiled.
That shows that he is not short of money at all. For people like him, I guess he has many houses that he can't even finish living in. I'm afraid that he has received a lot of filial piety from others. Chen Xing smiled.
Such a big house was right in front of her, but she couldn't accept it. Zou Fang was really a little reluctant.
Mom, don't be envious. We won't be worse than others in the future.
Yes, I believe that my son will have a great future in the future. Zou Fang's face was full of smiles.
What are you two talking about? What great future? At this time, Chen Shuiping also came back from school. As soon as he entered the ward, his face was full of smiles.
While his parents were talking and laughing, Chen Xing also pondered alone. He was not surprised about Xing Tiande's matter, but he had more doubts in his heart. Fei Ren and Yang Ming were singing the same tune here just now. How could he not see through their careful thoughts? However, he was also suspicious about Deng Ying, the woman who sat beside him to accompany him to drink that night. That night, did she know about it or not?
Just now, he forgot to test whether Fei Ren and Yang Ming knew about it or not. He had to find a chance to ask them again next time. Chen Xing thought to himself. After all, he had a good impression of Deng Ying. It was not only because she was also a student from Hai City University. During the two times they met, Chen Xing vaguely understood that she was a hostess because of her family's difficulties. In his heart, Chen Xing still hoped that such a woman would not be involved in Xing Tiande's plot to frame him.
Chen Xing couldn't even rest in the hospital. Every day, there was still an endless stream of people visiting him. Especially in the first few days, Chen Xing had to patiently greet them with a smile all day long. It was not until a few days ago that the situation became better.
Xing Tiande also came to visit Chen Xing with a gift. He even asked Chen Xing to rest well and recover as soon as possible.
Chen Xing was now able to sit up on his own. On this day, Chen Xing had just chatted with Xing Tiande, who came to visit him, and sent him away with disgust. However, he was surprised by the person who came to visit him.
How did you know that I was hospitalized? Chen Xing looked at the person in confusion. The person who came was Deng Ying, who still had doubts in her heart.
Why? Can't I come to visit you as a friend? Why do you put on such an interrogative posture? Don't tell me that you welcome friends who care about you like this?
That's not what I meant. I'm just curious. Chen Xing smiled. It can't be that the news of my hospitalization has already spread to your school, right? I don't believe that I have such a great influence.
Not necessarily. Who are you? You're the secretary of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Although the news of your hospitalization has not spread everywhere, many people know about it. It's not surprising that I can hear the news. Deng Ying's face was filled with a bright smile. She wore a pair of simple dark-colored jeans and a red plaid shirt. She was full of youthful vigor.
Zou Fang smiled as she took a chair and invited Deng Ying to sit down. Her eyes were secretly sizing up Deng Ying. Chen Xingyi saw his mother's expression and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He knew that his mother was probably thinking about it again.
Thank you, Auntie. Deng Ying smiled sweetly at Zou Fang and turned to look at Chen Xing with concern. Are your injuries serious?
It's not a big deal. I can be discharged after a few days of rest. Thank you for your concern. Chen Xing nodded and thanked her. However, the doubts in his heart were not reduced at all. He wouldn't be surprised at all if others knew that he was hospitalized. After all, news traveled too fast in the officialdom. Once something happened, it would immediately spread to everyone. However, Deng Ying, an ordinary university girl, also knew that he was hospitalized. This made Chen Xing, who originally had doubts about her, even more suspicious.
Deng Ying, who told you that I was hospitalized? I didn't even tell my friends about it, but you know about it. I'm really surprised. Chen Xing looked at her with a smile and tried to sound her out without batting an eyelid.
Just because you don't tell others doesn't mean that they don't know. Look at your room. So many people sent you fruits, but they still know. Deng Ying smiled and rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. If you really want to know how I heard the news, don't be angry if I tell you.
Tell me, there's nothing for me to be angry about. Chen Xing smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly.
I heard it from my sisters. They were drinking with a few officials when they overheard them talking about how the secretary of the Municipal Party Secretary was hospitalized. Many heads of government departments had gone to visit him. I didn't know if he was really injured or not, but I was sure he wanted to use the fact that he was hospitalized to make some extra money.
Yes, these people are really good at gossiping. Hearing that, Chen Xing was taken aback. Then, he shook his head and smiled helplessly. He knew that many officials with real power would cleverly use all kinds of means to collect money, such as hospitalization, birthday celebrations, weddings, funerals, etc. All kinds of local customs had become new ways for some officials to collect money.
Yes, those people are really inhumane. Others are injured and hospitalized, but they still say such things.
Haha, don't worry about them. In this society, there are many people who can't bear to see others do well. Chen Xing smiled disapprovingly and then looked at her with a puzzled expression. You still want to go to the hotel now?
No, how can I disappoint your good intentions? Didn't I just say that I heard it from the sisters around me? You also know that there are many people in our school who do that kind of part-time job. I have also stepped into that circle before, so naturally, I know all of them.
Chen Xing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. This kind of thing was, after all, dishonorable. Chen Xing pointed at the fruits on the table and said with a smile, "If you want to see me, you can come directly. Why do you buy gifts like others? You are still a student and don't have a job. If you have money, you should save it.
Who comes to see a patient empty-handed? That's too impolite.
If you come, it means your sincerity. "
The two chatted for a while, but Deng Ying didn't stay in the ward for long. After sitting for more than ten minutes, she left. Other than the first test, Chen Xing didn't ask any more questions. Deng Ying's explanation sounded very reasonable. If he continued to ask, and if he really misunderstood her, he would hurt her good intentions. However, the trace of suspicion in the bottom of his heart didn't disappear completely. Chen Xing was so wary of Xing Tiande that he didn't even dare to fully believe Deng Ying, who appeared that night.
Zou Fang smiled and sent Deng Ying to the door on behalf of Chen Xing. When she turned around and returned to the ward, she immediately pointed at Chen Xing with a smile. Good, in the past, you didn't say a word, and I didn't hear about you dating any girls. Now, as soon as you were hospitalized, so many beautiful girls jumped out to care about you. So you have been hiding it from your father and me, making us worry for you for so long.
Mom, when did so many beautiful girls jump out? Count them for me. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
Wasn't the one who came just now one? Zou Fang smiled and stared at him.
Okay, I'll do as you say. She counts as one. Who else? Tell me.
I think that Miss Chang can also be counted as one. Look at the days when you were hospitalized, she came to see you every day. Zou Fang smiled and began to pester endlessly. As for the others … As for the others, there are too many people. I can't think of them for the time being. I'll think of them later.
Mom, that Miss Chang is the daughter of the governor. It's not like you don't know. She came to see me only because my injury has something to do with her. As for that Deng Ying you just mentioned, my relationship with her can only be regarded as a very ordinary friend.
Okay, then these two don't count. What do you think of that Miss Zhong that mom told you about? Zou Fang smiled and pressed Chen Xing again. She faintly felt that the way that Zhang Ningning looked at her son was a little different. Her son didn't see it, so she was happy to say nothing. After all, she liked that Zhong Ling. Zhang Ningning's identity was too noble. It was not that Zou Fang didn't like him, but she knew her own limitations. She felt that her family couldn't climb up to such a powerful person. She had learned from the mistakes of others.
"Mom, let's talk about this later. How can love matters be rushed? If I really encounter the happiness that belongs to me, I will seize it." Chen Xing smiled and prevaricated.
