Mother He's expression froze when she heard that. She laughed dryly and said, "What do I have to do with her? I don't even know her name or what she looks like. How could I have anything to do with her? "
"Oh, is that so?" He Shaochen chuckled. His gaze lingered on Mother He's body. "Why didn't I see you being so enthusiastic before? You're so enthusiastic about someone you don't even know what she looks like. "
Mother He felt goosebumps all over her body. She knew how capable her son was. If she continued to mislead him like this, she was afraid that he would see through her. "I'm just afraid that the girl you bumped into will go out and spout nonsense. You know that everyone is hoping that you'll make a mistake. You can't go wrong by comforting her, right? "
"I know what to do. You don't have to worry."
He Shaochen's voice was neither soft nor heavy. There was no emotion in his voice. This made Mother He unable to guess what he was thinking at the moment. She felt even more uncertain. This son came from her womb, but Mother He felt that she didn't understand him at all. She couldn't guess what he was thinking at all.
"Since it's not a big deal, I'll go back first."
"Okay."
He Shaochen watched Mother He leave. He said to Ling Yu, who was beside him, "Do you think my mother has anything to do with Xia Xi?"
Ling Yu's body stiffened. He slowly raised his head and laughed dryly. "He Shaochen, do you think Madam has anything to do with Secretary Xia? They're people from different circles. They have nothing to do with each other. "
"You think so?"
"… Does He Shaochen have other thoughts?" Ling Yu's heart was in his mouth.
He Shaochen looked at him and chuckled. "Nothing. Just take it that you're right."
But that's not what you're saying from your expression! Ling Yu's heart raced. If he betrayed Mother He, he would end up in a terrible state. However, if he hid it from He Shaochen, he would end up in an even worse state. Thus, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.

When Xia Xi woke up, it was already the next day. The white ceiling and the unpleasant smell of disinfectant made her frown.
Just as she was about to move, she realized that her entire body felt like it had been run over by a car. It was excruciating.
He Shaochen happened to be walking in. Seeing that Xia Xi had woken up, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You're finally awake. How was it? Was the car accident fun? If you think it's fun, why don't we bump into each other again? "
When Xia Xi heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat. She instinctively tried to prop herself up, but she pulled at her wound. The sharp pain made tears well up in her eyes. She looked pitiful.
"Don't move if there's nothing important."
Now, Xia Xi really didn't dare to move. She looked at He Shaochen and whispered, "He Shao, I won't do it again. Please don't fire me …"
"You're willing to give up your life for this job?"
Now that He Shaochen thought about it, he was shocked. This woman was really desperate.
Xia Xi smiled bitterly in her heart. She didn't care about work at all. Now, she just wanted to finish the task Mother He gave her as soon as possible and save her brother. She didn't care about anything else. However, she couldn't tell He Shaochen these words.
She was just a victim sandwiched between mother and son.
Thinking of Mother He, Xia Xi suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "Well, how many days have I slept?"
"Just a day." He Shaochen saw her nervous expression. "What's wrong?"
"Where's my phone? It's gone. " Xia Xi rummaged around, even forgetting the pain. She searched everywhere but couldn't find her phone. Mother He's subordinate had told her what to do today, but she didn't know how she would deal with her brother. She had to call her quickly.
"The phone should be kept with your clothes. I'll get the nurse to bring it to you later."
"Okay."
Xia Xi nodded.
While the nurse was getting the phone, He Shaochen said, "I can not fire you …"
Hearing this, Xia Xi was relieved. However, before she could completely relax, He Shaochen said, "However, I won't let you be my secretary anymore. After you recover, you will be assigned to another department. This car accident will be treated as a work injury. All the expenses will be paid by the company."
Xia Xi's heart sank.
If she couldn't be his secretary, she couldn't stay with him.
What should she do?
The nurse took the phone and handed it to He Shaochen. He Shaochen threw the phone to Xia Xi. "Here, this is your hand."
Xia Xi caught the phone, her face a little stiff.
He Shaochen saw that Xia Xi was holding the phone and didn't move, so he asked, "Why aren't you calling to tell me that you're safe?"
At this moment, Ling Yu suddenly rushed in. His face was terrible. He walked to He Shaochen's side and whispered something in his ear. He Shaochen's face changed. His eyes looked at Xia Xi, and there was a deep light in his dark eyes.
Xia Xi shivered under his gaze. He Shaochen looked away and said to Ling Yu, "Let's talk outside."
"Yes!"
Ling Yu nodded. He also stared at Xia Xi for a while with a gaze that she couldn't understand. Then, he followed He Shaochen out.
Xia Xi didn't know what had happened, but she felt that it had something to do with her.
However, she couldn't care so much now. The most important thing now was to contact Mother He as soon as possible. She flipped to Mother He's phone number. Her heart suddenly beat faster, but she still pressed the button to call. After a while, the call was connected.
"Hello? Madam? "
Mother He's voice revealed a trace of unconcealable joy. "Oh, Miss Xia. I heard that you had a car accident. How are you feeling now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"
She was so gentle and so kind, but it couldn't make Xia Xi relax at all.
In Xia Xi's eyes, Mother He was the kind of person who was noble and reserved and looked down on her. But now, her tone was so gentle and kind, which was completely different from usual, which made Xia Xi a little scared.
She whispered meekly, "Thanks to you, although I had a car accident, it's not serious. I'm much better now."
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved. "Mother He's voice carried a smile.
This made Xia Xi even more puzzled, but she continued, "Madam, it's about the matter you sent someone to tell me. In my current state, I'm afraid …"
"Oh, this matter can be delayed. Don't worry now. It won't be too late to talk about it after you've recovered."
Xia Xi felt even more horrified.
Mother He was clearly so anxious before. Why did she suddenly say that she wasn't anxious now? Could it be that her brain was damaged, so now she couldn't think straight?
