Mother Qiao was so angry that she turned cold and threatened: "Leave? Don't even think about it!"
Qiao Qiao looked at Mother Qiao with a calm expression: "I'm just telling you, I'm not discussing with you."
"I also want to tell you that I will not allow you to leave alone." Mother Qiao said in a cold tone, and said: "Now the entire Deep Blue Group will point to you to continue to develop. If you leave, the Deep Blue Group will leave it to you."
Who? Just because of your dispensable relationship, you want to ignore everything your father and I have done for you. You are being unfilial!"
Qiao Qiao's tone became sarcastic: "Mom, are you trying to restrain me with morals?"
Mother Qiao's nails dug into her palms: "Yes!"
Qiao Qiao said nothing more and lay down with her back to Qiao's mother.
The entire ward was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mother Qiao stood beside the bed, looking at her daughter's uncompromising back, and was speechless for a moment.
In fact, Mother Qiao subconsciously knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would be useless, and it would only lead to the reverse of things.
The only thing I can do now is to wait for time.
As soon as all this happened, it was normal for Qiao Qiao to be unable to let go and to be angry. As time went by, the wounds in her heart healed, and everything in the past faded away, and everything would naturally return to where it started.
After thinking this way, Mother Qiao felt better and her complexion also improved a lot.
"彽彽, why don't you get up and eat your food first?" Mother Qiao changed her strong attitude just now, bent down and gently persuaded: "Mom promises you that she will not interfere with any of your ideas. The most important thing now is
The thing is to take care of your body."
"I know, please go out first." Qiao Qiao said with her eyes closed.
Mother Qiao did not force Qiao Qiao to get up and eat now: "Okay, mom, eat first. If you need anything, just call... call the nurse."
Qiao Qiao: "Yeah."
Mother Qiao tucked Qiao Qiao into the quilt thoughtfully, and then quietly exited the ward.
The moment the door closed, Qiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes.
She didn't feel sleepy. She closed her eyes and said nothing just because she didn't want to face Mother Qiao's strength and meanness.
As a daughter, she has no right to criticize her biological mother.
What's more, all of this ultimately started because of her. From a mother's perspective, a mother would naturally choose to protect her daughter at all costs.
She was angry, disgusted, and hateful, but she knew she could not face her biological mother with these emotions, so she chose not to face Mother Qiao and could only respond and protest with silence.
A few minutes later.
Qiao Qiao opened the quilt, got out of bed, took the incubator that Qiao's mother had placed on the table, and dragged her tired body to the nurse's station to inquire about Bai Chen's ward.
It took a few more minutes.
Qiao Qiao finally arrived outside Bai Chen's ward. She was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when she suddenly heard conversations coming from inside.
——"Have you searched the entire sea area?"
——"I've looked for him, but I'm not telling you, why do you care so much about that person named Shao? If he falls into the sea on the high seas, do you think you can survive?"
——"Oh, what is the difference between this bet and the bet with Grandpa Qiao back then? Grandpa Qiao lost his granddaughter back then, and the stepson he found helped him win his granddaughter back. It seemed fair, but only the Bai family knew
How unfair is this bet!!"
"Also, only the Bai family knows how many tricks the Bai family did during the gambling. Grandpa Qiao fell into the tricks done by the Bai family back then. Now he is repeating his old tricks and using the same method to deal with Shao Jingmo.
, the Bai family are stupid enough, they underestimated Shao Jingmo, how could he get on the ship unprepared."
——"Okay, shut up!"
——"I'm just telling you a few facts. Shao Jingmo won this bet. He should have disembarked safely, but the Bai family broke their promise and wanted to threaten him. Little did they know that all the information about the Bai family was in Shao Jingmo's hands."
"On the one hand, the Bai family was afraid, on the other hand, they wanted Shao Jingmo's life. Finally, they finally reached an agreement. As long as Shao Jingmo died, the Bai family would completely let go of the Qiao family. If the Bai family didn't do it in the end, then the Bai family had been involved in these years.
All murder cases will be announced by people arranged by Shao Jingmo in advance."
——"Shut up, I told you to shut up, you know so much, it won't do you any good."
——"I'm so sorry, Mom, I know all this."
——"You brat, please keep your mouth shut. You still think you are not disgusting enough in front of your father, right? Look at what you have been doing these days. Also, don't get involved in the Bai family's affairs.
.”
——"Mom, let me say it again, I am not his son, and he has never really regarded me as his son. I was born Mu Chen, and I will still be Mu Chen when I die."
Bai Mu suddenly became quiet.
Bai Chen didn't speak for a long time.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for about half a minute, and Bai Chen asked again: "What are the chances of surviving after falling into the sea on the high seas?"
Bai's mother said in a puzzled tone: "Why are you so concerned about the life and death of Shao?"
Suddenly, Bai's mother didn't know what she was thinking of, and her puzzled tone became very surprised: "You said that you are already twenty-five, and you don't have a serious relationship. Are you a gay?"
Bai Chen: "..."
Bai's mother-in-law sounded even more surprised: "Have you fallen in love with that person named Shao?"
Bai Chen: "..."
The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds. When Bai Mu spoke, her tone became a little difficult to explain: "Whatever your orientation is, that's your freedom. But if you really fall in love with Shao, it's a pity that he may not survive."
.”
Bai Chen frowned: "How do you say that?"
Bai's mother's tone was solemn: "I heard some of the conversation between Qingfeng and his subordinates last night. It is said that after Shao Jingmo crashed into the sea, the cruise ship stopped on the sea until the typhoon receded and then docked. During those ten hours, there was always Bai Bai.
The family stayed on the high seas, and there were no other mail ships passing by within a certain distance around it. It was high seas there, and Shao Jingmo had no chance of survival."
Bai Chen said in a cold tone: "The Bai family is truly unprecedented in killing everyone."
"That's enough. Even if you really like him, you can only remember him in your heart. I'm afraid he has already been buried in the belly of a fish." Bai Mu stood up and sighed: "You have a good rest, I will go back first, later.
Your dad should come to see you. As for the reason why you fell into the sea, if you don’t want to tell me, just think about how to explain it to him first."
Bai Chen said nothing, with a cold face.
Bai Mu didn't know what to say and turned around to leave.
When he walked to the door of the ward, he was suddenly stopped by Bai Chen and asked: "Is the Qiao family really safe?"
Bai's mother turned back: "I dare not give guarantees or affirmations, but out of fear, the Bai family will not touch anyone in the Qiao family for at least ten years. After all, the lifeline of the Qiao family was saved by Shao Jingmo with his life."
Bai Chen snorted lightly, lowered his eyes and said to himself: "One life for another, how can I compare..."
Bai Mu took half a step back: "What did you say?"
"I said you can go." Bai Chen lay down and pulled the quilt up to cover his head.
Bai's mother was displeased: "The white quilt in the hospital is only pulled over the head after someone dies."
Bai Chen: "That's almost it."
Bai Mu didn't do anything, she just said: "You bastard, I count to three."
As soon as he finished counting the number one, Bai Chen pulled the quilt off his face.
"I must get angry." Bai Mu's anger subsided and she opened the door and went out.
Bai Chen glanced at the door, lifted the quilt and got out of bed to go to the toilet. Before he could put on his slippers, the ward door opened again.
Bai Chen was very unhappy: "Mom, is there anything else you can't do..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Because Bai Chen saw that the person who opened the door and came in was not Bai Mu, but——
"Qiao Qiao."
Bai Chen's tone was obviously full of surprise. Ever since he woke up last night, he had asked the nurse from time to time whether Qiao Qiao had woken up.
I found out this morning and the time she woke up was accurate, but I couldn't go see her for fear of bringing someone to the Bai family.
He was thinking of her so much that he never thought that she would come to him after waking up.
So Bai Chen looked a little confused at this moment.
Until Qiao Qiao walked up to him step by step, carrying a thermos box and dragging an extremely slow pace, and shouted: "Bai Chen."
Bai Chen stood up slowly. Because Qiao Qiao came so suddenly, he was at a loss for a moment: "Why are you here? You look so pale. You should lie down and rest. I was planning to leave the hospital."
Come to see you."
Qiao Qiao turned around and put the thermos box on the bedside cabinet and asked casually: "Do you know I'm awake?"
Bai Chen came over and said, "I asked the nurse. I didn't come to see you immediately because I was afraid that I might accidentally bring other people from the Bai family. By the way, what did you bring?"
"It's food, made by my mother." Qiao Qiao opened the lid of the incubator and turned to him and said, "I don't have much appetite yet and can't eat. I knew you were still in the hospital, so I brought it to you. I haven't eaten it.
Very clean, and...thank you for saving me this time."
Bai Chen raised his hand and pressed the back of his neck: "If you are willing to say thank you to me, if you are willing to say the word 'rescue', it means..."
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "Of course I don't want you to save me, but you risked your life, and I should thank you both emotionally and rationally."
"Okay, I won't say it anymore." Bai Chen also realized that he shouldn't say that.
He took the lid of the thermos box from her hand, put it aside, cleared the table, and quickly took out the three soups and vegetables.
Very fresh and nutritious meals.
At first glance, it seems that Mother Qiao made it carefully.
Bai Chen couldn't figure out what to do with the chopsticks and asked Qiao Qiao: "Did I really eat it?"
Qiao Qiao nodded: "Yeah."
Bai Chen started to use his chopsticks, while Qiao Qiao watched quietly from the side.
Bai Chen took a bite and praised it vigorously, but Qiao Qiao said nothing. Bai Chen praised it while eating, but Qiao Qiao still didn't say a word, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.
Seeing that she had eaten more than half of it, Qiao Qiao sat silently beside her without saying a word.
Bai Chen finally couldn't help but asked: "Did you meet the woman who left my ward when you came in just now?"
Not surprisingly, Qiao Qiao spoke. She nodded before saying, "We met. I know that's your mother."
Bai Chen put down his chopsticks: "So... you heard everything too?"
Qiao Qiao curled her lips and smiled very reluctantly: "Didn't you tell me already? I know."
"You know, but you only know that Shao Jingmo made this step for you, one life for another, but you won't feel good if you hear his ending with your own ears."
Bai Chen didn't want to talk about this topic at all.
As he said just now, Qiao Qiao heard Shao Jingmo's ending with her own ears and may not be able to let it go for the rest of her life.
It's also possible that she will never be able to get out.
When Bai Chen thought of this, he felt acid reflux in his stomach, and he couldn't swallow the delicious food in front of him for a while.
At this time, Qiao Qiao suddenly asked him: "Bai Chen, the high seas are endless, falling into the sea, there are no ships within a few kilometers, and the only mail ship is going to cost him his life. Do you think he will be desperate?"
Bai Chen said nothing.
Qiao Qiao didn't care whether Bai Chen answered her or not, and continued: "I tried the feeling of falling into the sea, but I fainted quickly and did not experience death while awake."
Bai Chen moved his lips: "Qiao Qiao, he..."
"Bai Chen, do you think it's possible that he will survive?" Qiao Qiao suddenly asked innocently.
Bai Chen was speechless.
Qiao Qiao didn't get an answer from Bai Chen, and her mood gradually became lonely and sad.
Bai Chen looked at Qiao Qiao's lifeless face and said softly: "Every step he has taken is related to you. He has paved the way for your future long ago, including the future tranquility of the Qiao family and your stay in Deep Blue."
status of the group.”
Qiao Qiao didn't seem to hear these words. She stood up and said, "Bai Chen, you should have a good rest first. If you can't finish eating, throw these away. You don't have to return the lunch box to me."
After saying these words, Qiao Qiao turned and left Bai Chen's ward.
"Qiao Qiao!"
She had walked to the door and opened the ward door.
Bai Chen said to her back: "You are the rose he raised with his own hands. You should bloom beautifully, not fester in the soil."
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes and replied, pretending to be concerned: "Yes."
"Also." Bai Chen took advantage of the moment to mention: "You asked us if we have met before. Yes, we have met at Xingzhou University."
Hearing this, Qiao Qiao slowly turned around, suppressed the pain in her heart, and forced a smile to Bai Chen: "Actually, I have already recalled it. It was on the basketball court of Xingzhou University. You lost a game. Your
Your opponent asks you to stop a random girl and confess to her."
Bai Chen sneered: "I stopped you."
Qiao Qiao: "I slapped you."
Bai Chen lowered his eyes: "Just remember it."
Qiao Qiao looked sincere: "I'm sorry."
Bai Chen looked up at her, and at that moment his smile changed from lonely to bright: "I'm sorry, I accept it."
Qiao Qiao curled her lips and turned around to open Bai Chen's ward.
-
Two days later, Qiao Qiao was discharged from the hospital.
Ever since she died in love and fell into the sea and was rescued, she seemed to have never thought about committing suicide again. Perhaps it was Bai Chen's words that day that reminded her.
Even though she gave up her thoughts, she did not live a good life.
She doesn't go to the company and doesn't care about anything. She only goes to the bar every day and gets herself drunk every time. She seems to be having trouble with herself, won't let herself go, and tortures herself in various ways.
She now has no vitality and romance, and looks more like a walking corpse. Her soul has already sunk into the depths of the sea with her when she fell into the sea that day.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother could do nothing except heartache every day, because no persuasion had any effect on Qiao Qiao.
Half a month passed like this.
That night, Qiao Qiao was still drunk at the bar. During this period, she had an argument with someone and almost got into a fight. When Bai Chen came to the rescue, Qiao Qiao fell asleep directly.
There was a buzzing sound in the bag on which my head was resting.
I don't know who called me.
Qiao Qiao didn't answer. Bai Chen settled the dispute for her and apologized to the other party. When he was about to help Qiao Qiao get up, he heard a vibration on his phone.
Bai Chen gently held up her head and took out the mobile phone in his bag. When he saw it, it was a call from country T, without a name or note.
Bai Chen wanted to hang up and send the drunk Qiao Qiao home first.
But he was afraid that it was an important call from Qiao Qiao, so he answered it for Qiao Qiao. He put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello."
A woman's confused voice came from the other side: "Hello, are you...?"
"Me?" Bai Chen was very cautious and did not say his identity, but asked the other party: "What's the matter?"
The woman on the other side of the phone immediately said: "That's right, the patient is a Chinese sent by local fishermen. He fell into the sea and was in a coma for half a month. He just woke up yesterday, but he has lost his memory and is unwilling to say a word. We are
Confirm his identity. Just now, he read a string of phone numbers repeatedly, and we contacted the owner of this phone number immediately. Sir, could you please come to Country T to confirm his identity?"
