Years later, Xi Haitang's life returned to normal. She, Xiaochen, and Yunhen did not move back to the big house, but continued to live in an apartment in Jinxiu Community. Gu Xijue was delayed too much because of his previous injury and hospitalization.
For business, after his health improved a little, he worked overtime all day and night, often sleeping at the company, and only looked back at his big house when he had a little free time. However, he rarely came to Jinxiu Community, only on weekends and holidays.
come over.
Although Xiaochen and Yunhen were a little strange why they couldn't see their dad every day, because of the incident of their marriage in Ireland, the shadow in the hearts of the two children had completely subsided, and they had no doubts. They just regarded it as their dad's work.
Too busy to think too much.
In front of the children, Xi Haitang and Gu Xijue treated each other as if they were guests, and they seemed to be in peace with each other.
Xi Haitang and Gu Xijue always put their two children to sleep before going to bed. Of course, they have different rooms.
They are the most familiar strangers.
Xi Haitang is quite satisfied with such days. Life is like a song and life is like water.
"Zero Point Design" is on the right track, and all the new employees have arrived. Among a large number of newcomers, Xi Haitang was very surprised by the appearance of one person.
"Lin Ling?! Why are you here?!"
Lin Ling was also pleasantly surprised, "Sister Haitang?! You work here too?!"
"yes!"
"What a coincidence! Sister Haitang, it's great to be your colleague again!"
Xi Haitang was naturally happy, but she didn't understand. "Lingling, why did you leave 'Brilliant Jewelry'? You were already the team leader there, and you were very likely to be promoted to the vice president of the department. Why did you change jobs?"
"
"Hey, don't mention it, I don't want to change jobs, but it's really frustrating to stay in that place!" Lin Ling's expression was very ferocious, as if her anger had not disappeared after so long, "Sister Haitang, you know that jewelry
That blood diamond necklace was stolen at the exhibition?"
"Know……"
"Then do you know who did it?!"
Xi Haitang shook her head. She left the company after the jewelry exhibition. She never inquired about those things after that. Everything seemed to be a passing cloud, gone with the wind.
Lin Ling took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm, "It's Xu Manli! Oh, that damn woman actually did such an immoral thing, and she even wanted to blame me!"
"Then what?!"
"Then we had a big fight in the office and I beat her up. Just when I was pulling her hair and asking her to tell the truth, Manager Fang appeared and she scolded me bloody.
They said I affected office discipline and deducted my bonus, and then I quit my job!"
"Lingling, are you too impulsive?!"
"How can there be?! I really can't bear it! How can Manager Fang deduct my bonus? I am the hero. If it weren't for me, would Xu Manli admit it in person? But I didn't expect that I would be punished!"
Seeing Lin Ling still looking indignant, Xi Haitang couldn't help but want to laugh, "Lingling, Manager Fang is helping you!"
"What?!"
"It's true that Manager Fang wants to help you. Think about it, after Liu Yaguang left the design department, the position of vice president has been vacant. You and Xu Manli are the most promising candidates for promotion. She must have wanted to frame you with the blood diamond.
After getting rid of you, your biggest competitor, but you exposed her, what will everyone think of you? They must think that you and Xu Manli are the same person! Even if Manager Fang promotes you, he will not
Is it easy to handle? So she deducted your bonus first as a punishment to let everyone's emotions stabilize first... Do you think she is helping you?!"
"Uh..." Lin Ling was a little dumbfounded, "Sister Haitang, I find that you seem to be smarter than before!"
Xi Haitang shook his head and smiled lightly, "It's not that I've become smarter, it's because I understand Manager Fang's personality! She seems very cold to people on the surface, but she has a good heart! Really!"
"Then didn't I let down all her hard work?!"
"Regret?!"
"Yeah!" Lin Ling nodded, looking regretful.
Xi Haitang smiled mysteriously, "Can I give you a chance to apologize?!"
"what chance?!"
"I'm going to see Sister Fang after get off work. She's about to give birth. She's currently staying at the Maternal and Child Health Center. Let's go together?!"
"Okay!" Lin Ling agreed immediately, "Sister Haitang, you are such a good person!"
"Okay, okay, don't put your hat on me, think about what you will say after you meet Sister Fang!"
Lin Ling nodded obediently.
◎◎◎
After work, Xi Haitang and Lin Ling went to the maternal and child health center together.
"Lingling, you go up first. Sister Fang is in room 206. Just turn to the left and you'll be there. I'll make a call first."
"Well, I'm going to apologize first!" Lin Ling ran away quickly.
Xi Haitang took out her mobile phone and dialed Xiaochen's number, "Xiaochen, this is mommy...have you and Yunhen already finished school? Have you seen your uncle picking you up?"
"Yes, the two of us are with our uncle now. He said he would take us to see grandpa."
"Okay, then you have to be good and mommy will pick you up later."
"Know it!"
After hanging up the phone, Xi Haitang smiled knowingly. She was very satisfied with her current life. Xiaochen and Yunhen were so well-behaved and sensible. Their father was very happy every time he saw them. Xiaochen and Yunhen were also very willing.
I was with my grandpa, but instead of drinking tea and playing chess together, they were studying the stock market situation!
Thinking of that, the smile on Xi Haitang's lips stiffened slightly. She used to think that Xiaochen's sensitivity in this area was due to her inheritance from her grandfather, but now it seems that it's not just that, it should be something more.
Like Gu Xijue! Not to mention Yunhen, who has been with Gu Xijue since childhood and started receiving elite education as soon as he was born...
Suddenly thinking of Gu Xijue, Xi Haitang was shocked to realize that she had not seen him for several days.
Shaking her head, she shook off her chaotic thoughts and turned to go upstairs. But she inadvertently raised her head and saw his figure at the corner of the corridor. She thought she had seen it wrong, but the next second——
"Brother Jue..." Rou'er ran out of the ward and hugged him from behind.
