Xia Ning didn't know how she walked back to the box. She stumbled and stumbled, as if she was chasing a savage beast behind her. The greeting of meeting again after a long separation kept echoing in her mind.
Long time no see, Xia Xia.
Xia Ning felt that her head was about to explode and her face was as pale as paper.
Su Ye was startled and hurriedly stood up and came to the door to help her: "What's wrong, Aning?"
Xia Ning's hands were shaking badly: "I...I'm a little uncomfortable."
"What's wrong with you?" Su Ye reached out and touched her forehead.
Xia Ning avoided it unnaturally: "I, I want to go home."
She wants to leave here and can't stay here for another minute.
Su Ye was so nervous that he quickly called the waiter to pay the bill, then called the driver and asked him to bring the car over.
Xia Ning got into the car in despair. It was already early summer, but her body felt cold.
Su Ye put the coat on her body in the car and told the driver to go back to Xia Yuan.
The driver also noticed something was wrong with Xia Ning and immediately started the car and left.
Zuo Ang walked out of the Hunan restaurant and watched Su Ye's car slowly leave with sinister eyes. He stared at the luxury car worth millions and the license plate that symbolized status, and evoked a sinister smile.
Long time no see, Xia Xia.
I'm back, Su Ye.
"Chief Zuo, why are you standing outside? I've been looking for you for a while." When the car drove out of sight, colleagues from the inspection department found Zuo Ang.
Zuo Ang put away his sinister gaze and smiled politely at his colleagues: "Come out and have a cigarette. Come in."
The colleague was his subordinate, so he stepped aside to let him go forward. This meal was the first meal that Zuo Ang had treated his colleague Corey to. Even if someone was dissatisfied with him as the airborne section chief, he had to give up his reputation.
Summer garden.
As soon as Xia Ning returned to Xia Garden, she hid herself under the quilt and acted very abnormally. Su Ye took a thermometer to measure her temperature. Her temperature was normal and she had no fever.
"I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a nap. Don't worry about me and go to work." Xia Ning smothered herself in the quilt, her voice muffled.
Su Ye stared at the quilt for a while before leaving the room.
As soon as the door closed, Xia Ning immediately lifted the quilt and took a deep breath of air.
Su Ye went downstairs, but had no intention of going to work. He just called his secretary and asked the secretary to send the documents that needed to be processed in the afternoon to his home. He was worried about Xia Ning, so he felt more at ease staying at home.
…
Cheng Ming failed to bail An Tingnuan out despite all his efforts, but he was allowed to see Ding Qi once. He told Ding Qi the situation and he really tried his best.
Ding Qi did not blame the old classmate, but asked: "If the procuratorate prosecutes Tingnuan for harboring, how many years will she be sentenced to?"
Cheng Ming has been studying this crime recently and said honestly: "I will try my best to help her get less than three years."
Seeing his calm face, Cheng Ming couldn't help but ask: "Don't you regret it? You will probably be sentenced to death."
"Without her, I should have been dead more than ten years ago." Ding Qi shook his head, he has never regretted it.
Cheng Ming couldn't understand Ding Qi's thoughts. If it were him, even if others saved his life, he would not repay the favor with his own life.
Ding Qi has pleaded guilty. He and Ye Lishu jointly played a charade to remove An Tingnuan from the felony to the greatest extent. The worst result for An Tingnuan is a fixed-term prison sentence of between three years and ten years.
.
Cheng Ming was not allowed to talk to Ding Qi for a long time. Before leaving, he asked him: "Is there anything you want me to say to her?"
Ding Qi lowered his head. He had been locked up in the detention center for half a month. He looked embarrassed and passive, and exuded the aura of a dying person. After hearing Cheng Ming's words, he slowly raised his eyes.
"Live well."
Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I will tell her, and I think she will do the same. After all, you paid for her life with your own."
…
Hospital.
Grandma was allowed to be discharged from the hospital today. Lao Jiu went to complete the discharge procedures. When Lao Jiu came back after completing the procedures, there was one more person behind her.
Seeing He Siyi coming in with Lao Jiu, An Zhisu was surprised for a moment.
He Siyi stood awkwardly at the door of the ward, her expression very unnatural.
"Young madam, Miss He said she came to see you." Lao Jiu saw He Siyi downstairs. She was wandering downstairs, as if she was too embarrassed to come up, so he brought her up.
An Zhisu hadn't seen He Siyi for a long time. Only a few people knew about the arrests of Ding Qi, Ye Lishu and An Tingnuan. She didn't tell He Siyi specifically that she came to see her today. She probably heard the news.
"Grandma, can you and Acheng go home first? I'll go back later." An Zhisu turned to grandma and said.
Grandma smiled and nodded.
Ye Lancheng left Tang Zheng behind and took his grandmother and Lao Jiu away first.
"I've been in the hospital for half a month. I really don't want to chat here. How about changing to another place?" An Zhisu asked He Siyi.
He Siyi nodded without any objection.
The two of them moved to a coffee shop near the hospital and ordered two cups of coffee. An Zhisu did not take the initiative to speak, waiting for He Siyi to speak first.
He Siyi pursed her lips. She obviously had a lot to say before coming, but she didn't know what to say when she actually met An Zhisu.
She has not been in S city for nearly a month, not even in the country. The news here seems to be blocked, and it is difficult to reach her ears in time.
She learned that Ye Lishu and An Tingnuan were arrested before she came here. She came back late last night and slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, Fang Cheng told her about it. She got up and washed up and came over.
"You seem to have lost a lot of weight." He Siyi couldn't wait for a long time to speak, so An Zhisu had to break the silence first.
He Siyi touched her face: "It's okay." Then she looked at An Zhisu's arm. The trauma on her arm and hand had healed, but she could still see the scars that had not completely faded.
"Girls are too thin and don't look good. Your brother likes girls to be fatter." An Zhisu stirred the coffee. Now that He Sihan was mentioned again, she was able to calm down.
He Siyi looked at her and finally said those three words: "I'm sorry."
She owed An Zhisu an apology. She should have said these three words to An Zhisu after she saw Yang Xi's true face. But at that time, she still hated An Zhisu and could never really let go.
An Zhisu shook his head gently: "Siyi, you hate me but you didn't hate me for wronging me. Although I didn't kill your brother myself, he really died because of me. I owe him a life, and I will pay him back no matter what I do in this life."
If I can’t, I won’t have a chance to pay it back.”
He Siyi used to think the same way, which is why she couldn't let go of An Zhisu. But people always grow up, and now after He Siyi experienced life and death in Thailand, she suddenly understood many truths that she could not understand before.
"That's probably my brother's fate. I believe he didn't blame you." He Siyi said softly.
An Zhisu was surprised that she could say such a thing. She looked at her and said, "Siyi, you seem to have grown up."
"Really?" He Siyi touched her face again: "People have to grow up. I was foolishly deceived by Yang Xi for so many years, and was used by her, and almost killed you. Now that I think about it, I am pretty good.
