In the huge corridor, the air suddenly became quiet and depressing.
Shen Jingjue saw Tang Qiao'er being held by Xie Jinhuan. She was leaning softly in the man's arms with such a cuddling look, which made his heart sting and his eyes suddenly turned red.
They have been making rapid progress during his absence.
The more Shen Jingjue thought about it, the more bitter he felt. He lowered his long eyelashes and no longer looked at Tang Qiao'er. The veins in his hands holding the armrests of his grandfather's wheelchair were tight.
"Qiaoqiao, you have just completed a very difficult operation. You are exhausted and need to rest immediately."
Xie Jinhuan knew that the Shen family's grandfather and grandson were right in front of him, but he did not shy away from it. He only cared about Tang Qiao'er, gazing at her with affection between her brows and eyes, "I will take you back."
"grandfather……?"
But Tang Qiaoer ignored Xie Jinhuan's gentle offensive and walked up to Shen Nanhuai with worry in her eyes. She squatted on one knee and held the old man's dull hand, "Grandpa, why did you come to the hospital? What's wrong with your body?"
Shen Jingjue pursed his thin lips, the bottom of his tongue felt bitter.
With such a big man like him stuck here, this woman seemed to be selectively blind as if she couldn't see him at all.
It seems that now, she only has Xie Jinhuan in her eyes.
"Son, I'm fine. It's just that I'm having an old problem. My heart is not feeling well. I woke up late at night and insisted on bringing me to see her." Shen Nanhuai looked at Tang Qiao'er with doting eyes.
"Grandpa, you can't be lazy. You must listen to me and get checked on time." Tang Qiaoer still couldn't help but worry.
"Xiao Xiao, could this person be..." Shen Nanhuai looked at Xie Jinhuan with an intriguing look.
"Mr. Shen, my name is Xie Jinhuan." Xie Jinhuan stepped forward and bowed politely.
"Oh... I remembered that I met Dong Xie's youngest son at the third wife of the Tang family last time." Shen Nanhuai praised him out of politeness, "He is a very talented child."
After all, I felt uncomfortable when I thought about how close this boy was to Tang Qiao'er just now. I'm afraid the relationship between the two was unusual.
And when they met this time, Shen Nanhuai clearly noticed that the atmosphere between the couple was very stalemate, even more awkward than when they first divorced.
What should I do?
Just when Shen Nanhuai was about to pull Tang Qiao'er to say a few words about herself, a delicate voice came.
"Grandpa, how is your health?!"
Tang Qiaoer opened her eyes coldly and saw Huo Zhaozhao, who was only wearing pajamas, running towards this side like a gust of wind, followed closely by two bodyguards who did not dare to get too close.
When Shen Nanhuai saw Huo Zhaozhao coming, the corners of his mouth turned down and he glared at Shen Jingjue with resentment.
Shen Jingjue's eyebrows tightened and he looked at Huo Zhaozhao with cold eyes: "Why are you here?"
"I heard that grandpa was sick. I couldn't sleep at all, so I sneaked out to visit grandpa without telling mommy."
Huo Zhaozhao's flushed face, messy curly hair, and the pajamas on her body and slippers on her feet all showed one thing - she came in a hurry, and she was worried about her grandfather's health.
"Girl, you are Brother Huo's sister, right?" Shen Nanhuai looked at her with a half-smile and asked.
"Yes, grandpa, I am Huo Zhaozhao." Huo Zhaozhao kneaded his fingers together and blushed for a moment.
Thinking that this was the first serious meeting between her and Shen Nanhuai, and that she would be the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family from now on, such a dress was really inappropriate.
But what she had in mind was scrawled like this, which instead highlighted her concern for the old man. Compared to this informality, it didn't matter.
"Miss Huo..."
"Grandpa, just call me Zhaozhao."
Huo Zhaozhao leaned down with a very attentive expression, "My second brother and I will stay with you tonight. If you are hospitalized, I will stay with you in the hospital. I will stay with you for a few days!"
Shen Jing felt that his eyebrows were frowning even more tightly, and his face was very ugly.
Tang Qiaoer inadvertently noticed the man's expression. This dog man was different from other CEOs. He would write his dislike of someone on his face. He could have such a career only by relying on his dog temper and low emotional intelligence. It can be the hard power that can be exploited by clever means.
Back then, when she first married Shen Jingjue, he would give her this bad face every day.
So is he dissatisfied with Huo Zhaozhao?
Tang Qiaoer looked away, too lazy to look at him again.
Oh, even if he is dissatisfied now, he must have been satisfied when he knocked on the door of Huo Zhaozhao's hotel room that night.
"Ms. Huo, I've had a checkup. It's just a minor problem. I can be discharged from the hospital now."
Shen Nanhuai even called Huo Ruxi affectionately "Brother Huo", but he called Huo Zhaozhao "Miss Huo", which shows how close they are. "Ms. Huo wants to stay with me in the hospital every day, because she really wants me to stay in the hospital and not be able to get out." "
This is half a joke.
But when Huo Zhaozhao heard it, it was harsh and made him feel ashamed.
A long time ago, she heard Shen Bailu complain about her grandfather, who acted like an old fool and did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Shen Bailu, her biological granddaughter, did not feel any pain, but instead hurt Tang Qiaoer as much as her eyeballs. Not only did she disagree with Tang Qiaoer and Shen Jingjue got divorced and even gave her the jade bracelet passed down from her family!
Fortunately, the jade bracelet was broken by Jin Enrou.
That little bitch did a good deed before she died.
"No, grandpa...that's not what I meant." Huo Zhaozhao panicked and cast an aggrieved look at Shen Jingjue.
As a result, Shen Jingjue didn't even look at her, blocking all signals emanating from Huo Zhaozhao.
"Miss Huo, please bear with me. It's enough that I have Jingjue and Miss Tang by my side. It's so late and it's not safe for you, a wealthy lady, to be outside. I see your bodyguards are following you? Then let them send you off." Go back." Shen Nanhuai's attitude was quite gentle and he didn't argue with this junior.
But Huo Zhaozhao's face looked as if it had been smeared with dust, and it was extremely ugly.
Not only did the old man not accept her invitation, he actually didn't let Shen Jingjue send her back. He made it clear that he wanted to tell her how he came and how he was going back!
How abominable!
When she marries into the Shen family, when this old man enters a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease, she will definitely bribe the nurse to abuse him, depriving him of food and drinking water to wash his feet!
"Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao, come here quickly!" Shen Nanhuai's expression suddenly changed, and he waved to Tang Qiao'er with a smile.
Just leave Huo Zhaozhao aside.
"Yes, Grandpa."
Tang Qiaoer resisted Shen Jingjue in her heart, but she really didn't want to make her grandfather unhappy, so she hurriedly walked towards Shen Nanhuai obediently.
Seeing this resolute and powerful heroine-like figure walking in front of his grandfather, looking weak and vulnerable, Shen Jing felt that his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to three years ago, when he had just married his wife when.
Deep in my heart, a very soft place was silently touched.
In fact, she liked him no matter what he looked like, but at that time he couldn't see his feelings clearly and didn't know how to express them...
But so what.
Behind Shen Jingjue's deep eyes, he looked at Tang Qiao'er again with scarred eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you and Jingjue go home with grandpa? We'll stay in Juyue Bay tonight."
Shen Nanhuai stroked Tang Qiao'er's hair gently, fearing that he would be conflicted, and quickly added, "Grandpa's house is big with many rooms. You can live in the room next to grandpa.
Let this bitch of mine cook for you tomorrow, and let him wash your feet tonight! Anyway, your Uncle Xu will rest these two days, and let this bitch do all the housework!"
Shen Jingjue pursed his thin lips and his eyebrows twitched.
It's not that you can't use water for washing your feet.
Food? Let him cook?
Could it be that the old man felt that he lived too long...
"Grandpa, I..." Tang Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, her eyes twinkling.
Just as she was gathering words in her mind, Xie Jinhuan suddenly stepped forward slowly, curling up the corners of his lips, revealing a gentle and elegant smile that was particularly pleasing to the elders, "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid I can't accompany Qiao Qiao tonight. You are welcome."
"What?" Shen Nanhuai frowned.
Xie Jinhuan sighed deeply, looking at Tang Qiaoer's slightly haggard face with tenderness and distress, "Qiaoqiao just performed a major surgery on my second brother today. He stood for nearly ten hours before coming out of the operating room. At that time, I felt completely exhausted and almost fainted."
"What?!" Shen Nanhuai was shocked and leaned forward sharply.
Shen Jingjue was also stunned, and his heart was clenched.
Unreasonable, unbelievable...all kinds of emotions made his eyes complicated.
She just... had a major operation? No wonder she looked so weak and her complexion was not good, as if she was sick.
Shen was shocked to find that his jawline had become stiff and his thin lips slowly opened slightly.
He wanted to say something, but his words stuck so dryly in the back of his throat that he couldn't say anything.
What is he awkward about? What is he hesitating about?
"So, I'm going to take Qiaoqiao home now. My home is behind Qiaoqiao's villa, just on the way."
Xie Jinhuan put his arm around Tang Qiao'er's shoulders, without touching her, and behaved like a gentleman in front of the Shen family, "Mr. Shen, I know you like Qiao Qiao, and I feel sorry for Qiao Qiao. But Qiao Qiao. After all, she has divorced Mr. Shen. As a bystander, I feel that it is not appropriate to let her live in your home again, under the same roof as Mr. Shen.
If you really feel sorry for Qiao Qiao, you should think more about Qiao Qiao."
What he said was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.
But it aroused a fire in Shen Nanhuai's heart, and Shen Jingjue's dark eyes, like Han Yuan's, were also filled with anger.
Which junior dares to talk to him like this, who dares to be so arrogant?!
Shen Jingjue frowned deeply, and with a cold face, he was about to retort, but at this moment, Tang Qiaoer's beautiful eyes said calmly: "Ajin, grandpa is my relative, and everything he does is for my sake. From now on, this will happen It’s better not to say anything.”
"Ouch! Mr. Shen! I didn't expect to see you here. What a fate!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Xie Zhenglong and his secretary were walking towards them in a hurry.
Tang Qiaoer couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in her eyes.
As worthy of being the helmsman of a consortium, he is still crying his eyes out because his beloved son has become disabled, but he is able to talk and laugh with ease in front of outsiders, and he is calm and collected.
It is understandable, after all, the Shen family and the Xie family have been bitter enemies for many years, and it is impossible for Xie Zhenglong to show his vulnerable side in front of his business rivals.
"Zheng Long, I heard that your second son has a health problem, is it okay?" Shen Nanhuai asked with concern on his face.
"We had a car accident in Achen, and the situation was indeed not very optimistic at the beginning."
Xie Zhenglong then looked at Tang Qiao'er gratefully, "But Qiao Qiao's pair of wonderful hands have already helped A Chen overcome the disaster!
Others don’t know how to cherish Qiu Qiu, and I can’t control whether others have eyes for gold or jade. But for our Xie family, Qiaoqiao is a lucky star in heaven, and she must be worshiped! Tang Dong and I are brothers, and Qiaoqiao is a natural for me. She is treated like her own daughter!"
I'm afraid everyone present can hear the subtlety in these words.
Xie Zhenglong had already found out that Tang Qiaoer was divorced and her ex-husband was Shen Jingjue.
At that time, he said angrily: It’s really like a flower stuck in cow dung!
Marrying the son of the Shen family is already speechless, but to be the illegitimate son is simply lowering one's status. His son Xie Zhenglong, no matter how bad Xie Jinhuan is, is still better than Shen Jingjue, right?
"Uncle Xie, are you thirsty? I'll take you to drink some tea." After hearing this, Tang Qiaoer looked a little embarrassed.
She knew that Xie Zhenglong was on good terms with Lao Wan, but she wouldn't... say that to her grandfather.
"So pretty, uncle is not thirsty! Uncle hasn't praised you enough yet!" In the end, Xie Zhenglong didn't even get on!
Tang Qiaoer: "..."
Huo Zhaozhao grimaced with hatred and gritted his teeth.
Why do all the big guys in Shengjing surround this bitch? Are all the other women dead?!
Shen Jingjue looked at Tang Qiaoer with stern eyes. As cold as his eyes were, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"She is your biological daughter. It seems that you really like girls, Zhenglong. Having one daughter is not enough, you have to recognize another daughter."
Shen Nanhuai took advantage of Xie Zhenglong's language flaws, "I'm different, I just want a granddaughter-in-law. And I only want Qiaoqiao, a grandson-in-law."
Others? Huh, no chance."
Tang Qiaoer: "!"
Xie Jinhuan had a smile on his face, but the hand on Tang Qiaoer's back was secretly clenched into a fist unwillingly.
There was a buzz in Huo Zhaozhao's head, and a huge sense of shame, anger and humiliation tore at her heart.
She felt that she really shouldn't have come this time, and she should just hide at home and wait for her grandfather and mother to find a way for her to carry her into the Shen family's gate in a sedan chair!
If she takes action on her own, she can only humiliate herself again and again!
Xie Zhenglong's smile froze for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Shen Jingjue opened his thin lips coldly:
"Grandpa, Miss Tang and I have been divorced for more than half a year. Miss Tang already has someone else in mind. It's really too hard for you to do this."
There was a sudden silence in the corridor.
Tang Qiaoer's heart suddenly shrank into a ball.
But just for a moment, she raised the corners of her lips in relief.
In fact, there is nothing to regret. This is not the first time Shen Jingjue has given up on her.
Therefore, the vows made by men to women are all fake. Which man can pursue a woman for a lifetime? Can he love a woman for a lifetime?
Lao Wanyi and Bo Yuntian can't do it.
Forget it, her extremely rich father's relationship history is a joke.
"You brat! What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Nanhuai glared hard at his grandson, gritting his teeth to squeeze out every word.
If so many people weren't present, he would have punched him in the mouth!
"Mr. Shen said that, it seems that he has let it go. Since the parties involved have let it go, it is the best result for Mr. Shen and Qiaoqiao. Are you right? Mr. Shen?" Xie Jinhuan asked with a chuckle.
