When Chu Yi heard the news that the operation was successful, her tense body suddenly relaxed and she almost slipped to the ground.
A hand suddenly stretched out from behind and hugged him to steady his body.
"Thank you doctor for your hard work!"
Chu Yi heard Luo Heng's voice above his head.
Chu Yi looked up in disbelief and saw the familiar man's face.
The confusion on her face was too obvious, she didn't understand why he appeared here.
However, Luo Heng didn't even wait for her to ask "Why are you here?" He only heard her say "Thank you", broke away from his arms, and went to understand Gu Yimei's condition with the doctor.
Luo Heng groped his fingertips, and he seemed to still feel Chu Yi's touch there, feeling disappointed.
"Chu Yi, where are you going?"
Seeing Chu Yi walking in another direction after asking the doctor, Luo Heng chased after him.
Her current mental state is not very good. This extreme calmness is caused by forcing herself to tighten up after the ups and downs of emotions.
"Pay the fees."
She asked the person who helped her pay the fee, returned the money, and checked to see which relative it was.
"I paid it," Luo Heng said, "I put down the down payment, so you don't have to worry about the expenses."
Chu Yi was stunned for two seconds before reacting. She couldn't hide her surprise on her face: "You were the one who helped my mother handle the procedures just now?"
Luo Heng nodded.
He bought a bottle of water from the vending machine next to him, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Chu Yi, asking her to take a few sips.
The sweetness flowed down the throat, and Chu Yi realized how thirsty she was.
"What happened?" Luo Heng made his tone as gentle as possible.
Chu Yi shook his head, unwilling to say anything.
Her father is an honest and upright man with a scholarly character and is unlikely to do anything illegal!
Luo Heng pursed his lips, feeling dissatisfied with Chu Yi's behavior of hiding this from him.
But seeing how distracted and stressed she looked, I couldn't bear to say harsh words to her.
Chu Yi went to guard Gu Yimei's ward, and Luo Heng followed him, but Chu Yi stopped him outside the ward.
"Luo Heng, I don't know why you are here, but thank you." Chu Yi paused and said, "I don't want my mother to be angry when she wakes up."
Luo Heng understood.
He is not popular with her parents, so it is naturally difficult for him to appear in front of her now.
However, she directly said, "I don't know why you are here, but thank you." This indifferent attitude made Luo Heng so angry that he wanted to laugh.
But I can't laugh.
She is so smart and insightful, could she not have thought of why he appeared here?
She just doesn't want to think about it and doesn't care about him!
Gu Yimei had not yet passed the anesthesia for surgery. Chu Yi wanted to wait for her mother to wake up before asking about her father. Gu Yimei's cell phone rang first.
No note, unknown caller.
Chu Yi answered the call and was about to explain his identity when an unkind tone came from the receiver:
"Ms. Gu, although your husband's behavior has brought significant economic losses to our company, we still remind you to find a lawyer and we will see you in court!"
"Wait!" Chu Yi was shocked, "Hello, I am the daughter of Chu Minqi and Gu Yimei. I want to talk to you about my father, is that okay?"
“Let’s talk to the court!”
The other party hung up the phone callously.
Luo Heng looked through the small glass window of the ward and saw Chu Yi's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, as if he had been hit by something.
Instinctively, he put his hand on the door handle of the ward door, trying to push it in.
After enduring it, I took it back.
When Gu Yimei opened her eyes again, it was already dawn the next day.
When she woke up, her mind was still a little dazed.
"Mom! You're awake!"
Chu Yi saw Gu Yimei wake up and immediately pressed the call bell on the bedside.
The doctor came to review Gu Yimei and confirmed that she was in good condition.
"Mom, just rest in peace and recuperate. Leave dad's affairs to me." Chu Yi covered Gu Yimei with the quilt.
Gu Yimei saw the blue color under her daughter's eyes and knew that she had stayed with her all night without sleeping. Tears welled up again, and she was so heartbroken that she could not speak.
Why did she collapse at this time?
"Xiao Yi, Mom is sorry to you and your dad... You are still young, your parents shouldn't have to worry about you because of these things." Gu Yimei seemed to have made a difficult decision, "Xiao Yi, bring mom's phone.
"
"What do you want to do?" Chu Yi handed her the phone.
"Your father has no relatives alive. I'll call your uncle and ask if they can think of a solution."
Chu Yi took the phone back, her face full of resistance and indifference.
"Xiaoyi?" Gu Yimei said earnestly, "Although I have disagreements with my mother-in-law's family, at this important moment, they will not ignore me until death."
Just lower your dignity and lose face!
But dignity is not as good as a husband and daughter.
"Mom, I will find a way, really! Don't call uncle!"
Chu Yi remembered what Yu Yibei said on the plane. Yu Yibei obviously knew about her father's affairs. Since she knew but turned a blind eye, how could she expect her uncle to save her father?
At first, my uncle had a disdain for his father's family and hoped that his mother would marry high. It was my mother who insisted on marrying her father. Maybe my uncle is seeing a joke now!
"Mom, we are a family, how can things be divided between you and me? I'm not young anymore, I'm twenty-four years old, I can do it!" Chu Yi changed the topic back, "Mom, the company that dad works with is called
What?"
"Jiacheng Biology."
Chu Yi is very familiar with this company because they are peers.
Jiacheng Biotech is a biopharmaceutical company that was acquired by a large group five years ago. In the past two years, it has emerged in the industry and has achieved outstanding results.
Gu Yimei had just undergone surgery and was in low spirits. When she fell asleep, her eyebrows were still frowning.
I can't worry about my husband and daughter.
Chu Yi asked the hospital to help contact nurses to take care of Gu Yimei.
As soon as I walked out of the ward, I saw a tall and straight man standing at the door.
Luo Heng was still wearing the casual suit from yesterday, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a little more green stubble on his chin.
Apparently waited outside all night.
"You..." Chu Yi couldn't express what she felt in her heart.
Is it sour?
Or suffering?
If it were a year ago, she would probably be extremely moved if she knew that Luo Heng was so considerate to her.
However, she is no longer the same person who loved him before.
"How is Auntie?" Luo Heng stood up straight.
"The physical condition is temporarily stable." Chu Yi glanced at him and said, "Thank you, Luo Heng... When will you return to the Imperial Capital? I will take you to the airport."
Luo Heng heard her subtext and laughed angrily.
This is an eviction order, and I want to send him away.
In the past, he would definitely have said something funny, but now looking at Chu Yi's haggard face, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"There will be another meeting here tomorrow and we will have the rest today." Luo Heng's lie came out of his mouth.
Chu Yi knew that he was probably lying to her, but she had no intention of breaking up with him now.
"I will transfer my mother's medical expenses to your card. I have to go out for something. I will treat you to dinner later!"
Luo Heng wanted to say something else, but the woman had already left quickly.
Just as he was about to follow, he received a call from his secretary.
"Mr. Luo, we found out that the company that Ms. Chu Yi's father, Mr. Chu Minqi, works with is Jiacheng Biotech, which was acquired by the Zhou Group five years ago."
"Zhou family?" Luo Heng frowned, "Zhou Liang?"
"Yes, the ultimate beneficiary is Mr. Zhou Liang."
