"I, I just want to ask you," Shi Yu asked with a hoarse voice, "...can I contact you again in the future?"

Li Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.

There is still undying expectation in his eyes, like a cluster of small, faint sparks that can be blown by the wind at any time.

Li Xiao said, "Don't contact me any more."

That cluster of sparks is gone.

16.1

Li Xiao went out and went to the hospital first. Ruan Xingtong was still in the ICU. The doctor said that if he could wake up in the next two days, the dangerous period would be over.

Then he went to the company again. Because of Ruan Xingtong's accident in the past two days, the company was also a little unstable. He calmed down the staff, and then worked in his office. Before he knew it, it was 08:30.

He packed up and got off work, and when he passed the front desk, he asked casually, "Where are the flowers for today?"

The little girl at the front desk was stunned and said, "I didn't receive any flowers today."

Li Xiao came to his senses, he had just told that person in the morning that he would not contact him again, that person rubbed his nose, bowed his head and hummed.

As a bouquet of apologies, it is naturally unnecessary.

Li Xiao smiled at the little girl: "I've troubled you for a while, and I shouldn't need it in the future."

Li Xiao came out of the company and drove past the convenience store, but he didn't see that person again.

When he got home, the two cardboard boxes at the door, together with the man, were gone.

There is no trace of that person anywhere, and Shi Yu really disappeared from his world.

Li Xiao knew that the tug-of-war between him and Shi Yu was finally over.He should feel relaxed.

So he opened a bottle of wine for himself as a celebration.

He didn't notice that he drank a little too much, was unconscious, and had some auditory hallucinations. He seemed to hear the sound of the doorbell ringing, but when he walked over and opened the door, the corridor was empty and there was nothing.

It seems that this is the aftereffect of hearing the ringing of many doors yesterday. Li Xiao didn't take it to heart. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Ruan Xingtong has been awake for two days. Since the operation was successful, she has not shown any strong side effects or sequelae. She has been transferred to the general ward for observation and can be visited by others.

But Ruan Xingtong didn't expect that today's guest would have Guan Ying.

Guan Ying was wearing a custom-made suit, light makeup, and a top hat. The nurse seemed to be her servant and opened the door of the ward for her.

Guan Ying sat on the sofa in the ward, and the nurse even poured her a glass of warm water graciously and put it by her hand.

When she wasn't crazy, she really had a haughty, eye-catching brilliance, like a noble princess, and she was different from a Cinderella like Ruan Xingtong who was halfway to practice and had just suffered a serious injury.

Ruan Xingtong didn't know the purpose of her trip, so she first felt the aura and coercion she deliberately released.

It seems that he came to show her off.

Ruan Xingtong has not recovered from her serious illness, and she will feel sleepy after being awake for a long time. She just woke up in the past two days, and she is basically in a coma. Now she can't move her mind very much. She is too lazy to explore the other party's purpose, so she said directly in a rustling voice: "Aunt Guan came here specially, what's the matter?"

Guan Ying raised her chin slightly, looked at her with a haughty and defiant expression, and said, "I'll come and see how you're hurt. By the way, I'll ask you—"

"Are you sure you still want to marry Li Xiao now?"

She asked this question very strangely, Ruan Xingtong smiled puzzledly: "I don't quite understand what Auntie said."

Guan Ying snorted: "Who are you pretending to be like this for? If you really don't mean that, every time Guan Yunshan and Li Yuan invite you, why do you come every time?"

Ruan Xingtong said: "The elders are kind, I'm a junior, so it's not easy to refute their face."

Guan Ying's emotions are sensitive, her mental state is unstable, and she is easily stimulated. Seeing that she is always practicing Tai Chi and refuses to admit anything, her face shows faint impatience and hostility, but she tries her best to restrain herself. Said: "Whether you mean that, you know it in your heart. It's just that you don't really think that Guan Yunshan really likes you and wants you to be his grandson-in-law, right?"

You have been in an accident once, and it is not always possible to have such good luck that you can recover your life. Guan Ying said sarcastically, "Think about it with your smart brain, don't think that you can fool anyone with some clever tricks, and you don't even know what happened when you sell you. "

Guan Ying put down such cynicism, before the temperature of the water at hand even had time to change, he ended the meeting, got up and left.

At some point in the afternoon, Li Xiao also came to visit with flowers in his arms.

After Ruan Xingtong woke up, Li Xiao came here almost every day.Ruan Xingtong would always ask about the company's situation, as if worried that if she was not around, the company would lose [-] million every day.Li Xiao told her about the new products in her favorite restaurant, which made Ruan Xingtong so greedy that she wanted to leave the hospital every day.

It was often such a rambling casual chat, the two of them tacitly did not mention the cause of the car accident, nor did they mention Shi Yu who appeared at the scene that day.

But today, Li Xiao had just taken out the old flowers that had faded from the vase, and hadn't put the new flowers into the vase, when Ruan Xingtong suddenly said behind him: "Before the car accident, Shi Yu came to see me."

Li Xiao paused, then cut off some rose branches and put them into a vase.

Then he turned around and asked, "And then?"

"He came to question your relationship with me." Ruan Xingtong said, "To be honest, I think he is ridiculous, has no personal charm, and only stalks. I don't understand why you are with him."

Li Xiao did not give any explanation or reaction to this.

"I ignored him. After coming out of the coffee shop, he caught up with me at the intersection of traffic lights." Ruan Xingtong said, her jaw tightened and she pretended to be calm, but there was still fear in her eyes. Pushed out."

Li Xiao remained silent, without speaking.

Ruan Xingtong looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "But he didn't push me."

Ruan Xingtong stared at Li Xiao, thinking that he could see some changes in his face.

Thanks to the blessing of Da Zui's colleague who came to visit, she didn't know that Li Xiao and Shi Yu broke up completely after her accident.

It is not difficult to guess the reason for their breakup. No matter how you say it, Shi Yu present is too motivated and suspicious.And based on some kind of selfishness, even though she didn't say anything to frame her, she went along with it, pretending not to know, and never revealed it.

But after hearing what she said, Li Xiao's face was calm, not surprised, not even the slightest change.

Ruan Xingtong slowly widened his eyes: "...you know?"

Li Xiao didn't deny it.

Ruan Xingtong thought that what she said was a big hit, at least it could cast a thunderbolt in the other party's heart, but she didn't expect the other party to know that the secret was not a secret, and the hot spot she thought was worthless.

But she felt aggrieved by his determination: "How can you be sure it's not him?"

"He didn't dare." Li Xiao paused, and said in a low voice, "He was afraid that I would get angry."

Because he secretly gave away the cat, Li Xiao was already so angry that he didn't want him, let alone hurt the people around him.No matter how jealous Shi Yu was, he would not dare to do such a thing and make him angry again.

Ruan Xingtong heard the meaning from his words, and after a moment of silence, he said in a slightly shy voice, "...so you knew it all along, wasn't it him?"

Li Xiao looked at her and nodded.

Ruan Xingtong was in a complicated mood for a while, and didn't know whether he should be thankful, but luckily, he didn't make a mistake and said something that shouldn't be said, otherwise Li Xiao might not be still in her ward, talking to her so peacefully.

It's just that she began to feel puzzled again: "You clearly know it's not him, so why..."

But Li Xiao didn't seem to want to talk more about Shi Yu's affairs, he changed the subject very bluntly: "You don't seem to know that the people who recruited before collectively regretted it and refused to come. In fact, it was my grandfather. Guan Yunshan's handwriting."

Ruan Xingtong was stunned.

"You probably don't know much about the situation in my family. There are no normal people in my family. You should know about my mother, and my father has nothing to say. But my grandpa Guan Yunshan, he," Li Xiao's voice was calm, It was like a river of still water, but magma surged underneath. He said word by word, slowly and in a low voice, "Vicious, vicious, conceited, ruthless and righteous. The only pursuit of life is fame and fortune. Those who match this , and a strong desire to control. Me, my mother, my father, and even my deceased grandmother are just pawns in his hands, and he will never allow anyone to escape his control. "

Ruan Xingtong didn't understand why she suddenly jumped to the introduction of family members, but Li Xiao's words made her inexplicably scared. She thought her accident was just an accident, and she wanted to fall on Shi Yu's head with bad intentions, but Guan Ying The door-to-door sarcasm pointedly, and now even Li Xiao said the same.

She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

"Last time he poached someone away and warned me in this way. I didn't give in and found another person to fill the vacancy. This touched his back." Li Xiao's eyes were clouded and he said, "He Will not let it go."

Li Xiao's words have come to this point, and thinking of Guan Ying's words, Ruan Xingtong seems to have finally connected the various clues in his mind together and spelled out a thread.

"You mean, your grandfather was also responsible for this accident?" She was dumbfounded, her face turned pale, and she stammered, "...Your grandfather, he, he wanted to kill me?"

Li Xiao saw her
