After scumming me, they all regret it

Xie Gui also saw the notification of the incoming call, and waited silently.

Chen Zhouhe connected the phone.

"Chen Chen, where are you now?" Xie Baozhen was on the other end of the phone, her voice sounded flustered, "Can you come over, your grandma..."

The voices at the other end were noisy, and the sounds of people and footsteps mixed together.

"Did something happen?" Chen Zhouhe asked with a frown as he brought his phone closer.

"... Mommy is in a very bad condition. The doctor said that I must have an operation today. She won't let me sign it and keeps calling your name..."

Chen Zhouhe was shocked: "Didn't it mean that grandma's situation has stabilized?"

"There is no such thing as a stable and unstable disease... Can you come here, the doctor..."

"Okay," Chen Zhouhe glanced at Xie Gui, "I'm driving here now, and I should arrive at night."

"Okay, then you come here first, I'll watch over here first..." Xie Baozhen didn't know if he heard it clearly, talking to him while talking to the doctor.

The two hung up.

"How is grandma?" Xie Gui heard a general idea, her brows were tightly frowned, and she leaned forward to ask.

"The doctor said that an operation is needed, I'll go there now..." Chen Zhouhe stepped to the parking lot, and the moment he opened the car door, he paused, "Do you want to go together?"

"Of course," Xie Gui didn't even think about it, "Grandma is also my grandma... Besides, I'm with you, and we can take care of each other when we need something."

Xie Baozhen called his mobile phone, but did not inform Xie Gui first, it must be Lan Xiuzhi's idea.

She didn't want Xie Gui to know that she was worried, since she must have something to explain to her.

Chen Zhouhe tapped the steering wheel unconsciously with his knuckles, thinking of other things.

Xingxing fell asleep when they got the injection, and seeing that he hadn't returned to the familiar teahouse yet, he blinked his big blue eyes and meowed, and jumped on Xie Gui.

Xie Gui was overwhelmed by the flattery, for a moment she didn't know where to put her hands, and tentatively touched Xingxing's back.

Chen Zhouhe looked like he had eyes on his shoulders, and his eyes didn't turn away. He picked up Xingxing by the back of his neck and threw him lightly to the back seat.Xingxing yelled in dissatisfaction, wanting to get closer to him.

"Be honest." Chen Zhouhe taught him a lesson, but his tone was gentle and doting, more like teasing it.

Xie Gui calmly turned his eyes between a person and a cat, lowered his eyes, and turned a hundred and eight thousand times in his mind.

Chen Zhouhe drove for four and a half hours before finally arriving at the hospital before dark. When they arrived, Lan Xiuzhi had just left the operating room. Xie Baozhen picked them up at the door, her eyes were obviously red and swollen.

"Sister-in-law." Xie Gui called out, slowly realizing the seriousness of the matter, "What's wrong?"

Xie Baozhen looked surprised when she saw them together, but she didn't think so much now, she simply repeated the doctor's words to the two of them, Chen Zhouhe read the paper case, and handed it to Xie Gui with a restrained expression.

Xie Gui's undergraduate degree is medicine, although she doesn't match Lan Xiuzhi's illness, she can still understand simple cases.

He froze all over: "How come... Wasn't the situation okay when I came to see grandma? Didn't you also..."

"That's all lying to you. In fact, Mommy's condition has been deteriorating. After so many years of medication, her body can no longer bear it..." Xie Baozhen wiped her eyes. She really couldn't handle the situation, "She said it's useless to tell you juniors, it just adds to the trouble..."

"What did you say, grandma doesn't want us to worry about you being confused too?" Xie Gui had rarely been so emotionally unstable in the past two years.

In the past two years, although the relationship between Xie Gui and Lan Xiuzhi has eased a lot, he has always had a grudge against Xie Baozhen.

Lan Xiuzhi supported the entire Xie family in the early years, and had to deal with Xie Zimian's affair, her personality was worn down to be a bit bossy, out of selfishness to protect Xie Gui, she chose to cheat on the truth about the explosion, Xie Gui could understand but do not agree.

But Xie Baozhen was the one who knew from the beginning to the end. She watched Xie Gui do those stupid things to Chen Zhouhe and humiliated him again and again, but she never said a word. The "truth" told Xie Ziqian...

She has been spoiled by Lan Xiuzhi all her life, she has no opinion on major issues, and just clings to Lan Xiuzhi.

Chen Zhouhe patted Xie Gui on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Then what is grandma's plan now?" Chen Zhouhe looked at Xie Baozhen with serious eyes, "Is there anything you want to explain?"

"I don't know..." Xie Baozhen's eyes flickered, "You can ask after Mommy's anesthesia..."

After she finished speaking, a doctor's voice came from behind, Xie Baozhen went to deal with it, leaving the two of them in place.

There were not many people in the VIP ward, and the corridor was very quiet. Chen Zhouhe leaned his back against the wall, staring at the spinner on the handle of the seat.

What a coincidence, I just came out of the hospital in the afternoon and stayed in the hospital at night.

"Brother." Xie Gui called him, the voice was very low, but it was very clear in the silent corridor.

"Huh?" Chen Zhouhe didn't correct his name when they met again, because he thought that there would not be many opportunities to meet each other in the future, and it would be strange to correct him now, so he simply went with Xie Gui.

"Grandma is looking for you at this time, maybe because of the company's affairs, you may not know me and uncle..." Xie Gui stopped in the middle of speaking.

Now that Chen Zhouhe has left his original life, there is no need to tell him about these things.

Chen Zhouhe looked at him quietly, the cold white light fell on his dark pupils, reflecting a crescent moon.

"In short, it's just a matter of the company. Grandma may ask you to come back to help, you... don't agree." Xie Gui looked back at him with gentle eyes.

Chen Zhouhe was slightly surprised: "I thought you would expect me to agree."

Xie Gui shook her head: "I know now, you don't like finance, and you didn't like it when you filled out your volunteer application... I didn't say this to put pressure on you, I just hope you can live the life you want to live, you don't like it I'll do it, and I can... protect you."

He said the last three words very lightly, as if he was afraid of being rejected.

Only now did Chen Zhouhe really face up to the child he had watched grow up in front of him.

Some feelings cannot be replaced by personal experience. No matter how many people he heard about Xie Gui's growth, he never saw his current appearance with his own eyes.

"Who is Chen Zhouhe?" The doctor came out of the ward, his eyes exposed outside the mask turned around the two of them, and settled on Chen Zhouhe, "Ms. Lan wants to chat with you."

"Got it." Chen Zhouhe nodded.

"I understand what you mean. As for how to make the decision, it is my own business," Chen Zhouhe said the last sentence to Xie Gui before pressing the doorknob, "To be honest, if it was me in the past, seeing the current You should be very pleased."

The ward was very stuffy, and the windows seemed to have just been opened. In order to take care of Lan Xiuzhi's rest, the harsh incandescent lamps were replaced with soft night lights.

She seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and her eyes fell on Chen Zhouhe peacefully.

"Grandma." Chen Zhouhe greeted first.

His mood is actually very complicated. Lan Xiuzhi has always been a very tall image to him for many years, even a bit domineering. When he left two years ago, the little old lady in front of him was still in good spirits. They look very different.

Lan Xiuzhi nodded, her eyelids were drooping, and she looked tired.

"Chen Chen..." She called Chen Zhouhe, because she had just finished the operation and her stuttering was unclear, "How have you been these two years..."

Chen Zhouhe was suddenly out of breath.

They chatted for more than half an hour, and finally the doctor forced Lan Xiuzhi to rest, and Chen Zhouhe was able to leave the ward.

Xie Gui had been guarding outside, seeing him coming out, she straightened up and asked, "What did grandma tell you?"

Actually said a lot.

Chen Zhouhe was a little tired, closed his eyes and shook his head, not wanting to say a word.

After all, Lan Xiuzhi retired from above, even if she was too sick to move, she still had the arrogance on the negotiating table, making people jump into it knowing it was a trap.

He didn't speak, Xie Gui didn't ask again, just leaned against him.

About 10 minutes later, Chen Zhouhe wiped his face and said, "Let's go, I'll go back to the teahouse tomorrow and explain, and I'll return to the company in a week."

Xie Gui froze in astonishment: "You..."

Chen Zhouhe didn't say any more, and waved his hand to pick up Xingxing in the car.

A week passed quickly, Chen Zhouhe handed over the teahouse to Xiao Zhao, and returned to the company with Xiao Zhao's eyes saying "you are still someone else's boss after all".When he came back, some people were happy and some were sad—it was said that Xie Ziqian broke a set of tea sets in his office.

Xie Gui started to toss and turn three days in advance, until the day when Chen Zhouhe was coming, he turned from side to side and couldn't sleep. He got up at five in the morning to tidy himself up, and waited at the agreed place with Chen Zhouhe.

"Brother." His eyes lit up when he saw Chen Zhouhe, "Where do you live these days?"

Chen Zhouhe asked him to get in the car first, and then said: "Let's stay in the hotel first. I'll check the company's situation. If I can finish my work in two or three months, I'll just stay in the hotel. If it's over half a year, I'll rent a house."

"Why don't you live with me?" Xie Gui would wag his tail if there was a tail behind him.

"Don't bother me anymore." Chen Zhouhe didn't think about it at all.

He was suffocating in his heart, always felt that since seeing Xie Gui again, he and Lan Xiuzhi had been leading him by the nose all the way, and he really experienced what it means to be involuntary.

Chen Zhouhe has been used to freedom for the past two years, and it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he is asked to listen to other people's orders all of a sudden.

Originally, he had more chances to get along with Xie Gui when he went back to the company. Although he was rational and couldn't afford to care about the past with Xie Gui, it didn't mean that he was happy to see Xie Gui dangling in front of him from time to time, saying some annoying things.

"Okay then," Xie Gui didn't look in front of her, and her expression was visibly depressed, "Then can you take me back first, I sorted out some of the company's situation two days ago and planned to give it to you in a USB flash drive. Forgot to bring it."

Chen Zhouhe was noncommittal: "The address."

Xie Gui quickly reported an address.

Chen Zhouhe was stunned for a moment, turned his head to meet Xie Gui's praying eyes, did not follow his wishes, and clicked on the navigation to start the car.

The community arrived soon, Chen Zhou and Qingca found the parking lot familiarly, raised eyebrows at Xie Gui, and signaled him to change it.

"Brother, do you want to sit up?" Xie Gui moved closer, his slightly drooping puppy eyes made him look even more innocent and pitiful, "I didn't move anything in the house, it's still the same as when you left."

Sure enough, Chen Zhouhe guessed it from the place he gave - Xie Gui bought his previous house.

Chen Zhouhe didn't reply to his words, but only asked: "I remember when the property rights were transferred, you didn't buy the house."

"Well," Xie Gui admitted to him, "I went to find the couple after they bought it, and bought the house back at twice the price."

When he said this, he was a bit waking up to the person who usually went to the mountains to catch mice and came back to give him gifts. Chen Zhouhe didn't want to talk about him at first, so he couldn't hold back for a while——

"Twice? You have so much money that you have no place to burn it?" He almost laughed angrily, "Do you think it makes sense for you to do this?"

The author has something to say:

Xiao Chen: Twice?I'll sell it to you directly, so that the middleman won't make the difference.
