"What's wrong?" She was a little surprised. You must know that the Xi family is in good condition now under the leadership of Duan Muyu.
If there was nothing wrong, he would not come to find her.
Duanmuyu's expression was a little solemn. He walked straight up to her and said, "I know that at this time, it would be very bad for you to propose returning to Japan temporarily, but - something happened to my mother!"
He was struggling a bit. On the one hand, he was his mother, and on the other hand, he was his most beloved sister. Moreover, she was about to give birth, and the empire was busy enough with affairs. Now with Xi's addition, she simply couldn't handle it.
Crystal was a little surprised. She never knew what to call Duanmuyu's mother, and she didn't care about love. She hesitated before asking, "What's wrong with her?"
Duan Muyu's expression was a little depressed, and it took him a long time to exhale, "She has a stomach bug, the kind that can't be cured."
He couldn't tell her the full name, as if he would sentence her to death if he said it.
"How could this happen?" Crystal was stunned for a moment. She had met Duanmuyu's mother once. She was a very beautiful and wild woman who didn't match her father's gentleness at all, but the two of them were crazy in love.
It is unimaginable for Crystal that such a woman would suffer from an incurable disease.
She said without hesitation: "Go back to Japan! Everything will be fine here."
Duanmuyu asked worriedly: "You are alone."
Crystal pretended to be brisk and said: "You forgot that there is another Lan Shaofeng, I can find him."
After a moment of silence, Duanmuyu could only nod. In fact, he had no choice. Moreover, he had been in China all these years, so his mother must miss him very much!
Furthermore, he is the heir to the Duanmu family, but he has not fulfilled his responsibilities for many years. The pressure on his mother can be imagined.
Therefore, he can no longer be so selfish, but he is really worried about Crystal's situation.
"Go back! Brother Yu, say hello to auntie for me!" Crystal looked down at her belly, "Now that I am also a mother, I can understand her current mood. She must be very looking forward to your return."
Duanmuyu looked at her sadly, "I hope to come back early, but I don't want to come back early, Crystal...I..."
She stood up and covered his lips, "Don't talk nonsense. Auntie will live a long life. Brother Yu, I can't selfishly leave her alone just to keep you by my side. I actually have a lot."
"When are you leaving?" She put on a smile, trying to make him feel less sad.
Duanmuyu pointed to the suitcase at the door: "I'll leave right away, the ticket has been bought."
Crystal nodded, "Then go quickly! Don't miss your flight."
He looked at her deeply, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, hugging her very tightly but still avoiding her belly...
Duan Muyu buried his head in her hair and took a breath, "Take care of yourself!"
Crystal put her hands around his neck, "You too!"
He gently let go of her and left without looking back.
He didn't say when he would come back because they didn't know.
Fast or slow is a kind of harm, isn't it?
Crystal kept looking in the direction he was leaving, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled lightly.
If we know each other, then separation, then life and death, what does it matter!
After Duan Muyu left, Crystal became very busy. She moved between two international companies. Sometimes she didn't even have time to sleep, she just lay down for a while and continued to read official documents.
They don't go to bed until at least twelve o'clock every night, which makes Butler Feng and Secretary Huang very distressed.
Originally, Crystal wanted Secretary Huang to learn to handle Xi's affairs, but she was determined not to get involved because she maintained her duties as an outsider.
Of course, Secretary Huang felt a little guilty towards Crystal for making such a decision. Looking at Crystal's somewhat thin face, she could only secretly feel sorry for him.
She could only feel distressed because her mother had once warned her sternly - not to touch any of Xi's decision-making matters, under any circumstances.
Those words made Secretary Huang know that her mother actually loved Mr. Xi, but this love could never be expressed to her mouth.
This is the tragedy of the outer chamber, and it is an outer chamber with a wrong start!
She could only sort out those official documents until they were as good as possible and as detailed as possible before sending them to Crystal. But even so, the huge workload would still be too much for a woman who was eight months pregnant.
Crystal's sleep was less and of poorer quality.
At this moment, she was sitting in the study room that Lu Zhan usually used, with a mountain of official documents in front of her. Secretary Huang was accompanying her inside and helping to get some things.
Butler Feng knocked on the door and came in, bringing in two bowls of tonic: "Let's have some midnight snacks!"
She looked at the crystal: "Madam, it's already one o'clock, you should rest."
Crystal rubbed her eyes and sat up straight, "It's already one o'clock? Then let's rest for a while!"
Seeing that she meant to continue working, Butler Feng strongly disagreed: "Madam, the young master or young lady also needs to rest!"
Crystal touched her belly, "I know it too, but I can't let the Xi family and the empire decline! Is it a baby?"
Her face was full of exhaustion, but her smile was extremely moving.
Secretary Huang was stunned. Is the power of love really that great?
Next, neither of them said anything, and they swallowed the housekeeper's wishes.
Just as Secretary Huang was about to continue, Crystal said softly: "Go to bed!"
She knew that Secretary Huang actually worked harder than her. Just sorting out these documents was enough, and she also accompanied her to review them.
In the past few days, she also let her sleep here to save her the trouble of traveling and traveling.
Secretary Huang shook his head, "I want to stay here with you!"
Crystal smiled lightly and blinked: "Let's be lazy together today! Let's sleep together!"
Of course Secretary Huang hoped that Crystal could go to bed early, so she agreed without thinking.
"I can just do it myself." Crystal walked to the connected room and walked into the bathroom.
Secretary Huang heard the sound of water flowing and felt relieved and walked to the guest room on the first floor.
Crystal washed her face and heard no sound, so she walked back to the study and opened an official document.
Under the bright light, her face as white as jade exudes a faint halo, which is extremely touching, but of course also makes people feel distressed.
After a moment, she suddenly looked up and felt a pair of black eyes staring at her in the dark.
Did he sleep too little, so he had an illusion?
She shook her head and smiled, then buried her head again. Unknowingly, more than an hour passed. The pen in her hand shook, and she finally put it down, and her head rested on the desk... Under her eyelashes, there was a faint
shadow…
A pair of black eyes stared in the dark for a moment. He suppressed himself and prevented himself from rushing out to see her and hug her...
However, he held back.
Now he doesn't even have the strength to carry her back to bed, so why should he go to see her.
Returning to his room, he gasped for air, feeling like a gray mouse... unable to see anyone!
He reached out and pressed the phone in the room. Butler Feng's voice came over there: "Sir, is there something wrong?"
Lu Zhan said in a low voice, "Let Jing Jing go back to her room to sleep."
Butler Feng was a little surprised, "Madam is not asleep yet?"
Lu Zhan didn't say anything, so she immediately hung up the phone and walked to the second floor.
I saw my wife lying on the table, sleeping soundly.
She walked over and called softly: "Madam, go back to your room and sleep!"
Crystal opened her eyes hazy. She was a little hazy in sleep, so she hadn't recovered from her dream yet, and she called out "Lu Zhan."
Butler Feng was dumbfounded, but quickly patted the crystal again: "It's me, madam, go back to bed quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."
Crystal finally came to his senses. As he stood up, he asked casually: "How do you know I'm still here!"
"The lights are still on." Butler Feng said with a hint of rebuke: "Madam shouldn't cherish yourself so little. If Mr. was here... he wouldn't allow Madam to work so hard."
Crystal smiled faintly: "But he is gone, so I have to take care of everything for him, right?"
She had already thought about it. When Duan Muyu came back, she would hand over the management of the Xi family to him, and she would take some shares and get dividends, and her focus would be on the empire.
Butler Feng sighed: "That's what I say, but my wife has to think about the child in her belly, right? We can't do this anymore!"
Crystal felt a little heartbroken when she heard this. She put her hands on her chest and thought to herself, if Lu Zhan was still here, how would he hurt her?
But I can only think about it.
After she returned to her room, Butler Feng looked at the study again before leaving.
The next day, Crystal got up a little late. After Secretary Huang took her back to the company, he said, "I have something to do this morning. Let's have dinner together at noon."
Crystal nodded, "Then go ahead! Be careful on the road."
Secretary Huang's expression was a little complicated. She looked at the crystal for a long time, but finally said nothing.
She got in the car, and instead of visiting her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time as Crystal wanted, she drove back to the Lu residence in Dazhi.
As soon as he entered, he saw Butler Feng standing in the hall, looking a little anxious.
She went up to him and said excitedly: "Where is Lu Zhan!"
She didn't understand why Lu Zhan was alive and didn't want to see Crystal, but wanted to see her.
The hidden secrets made her deeply uneasy, and she had a hunch that this truth would make Crystal even more miserable.
Because sometimes, life is more painful than death.
Housekeeper Feng looked serious. She led Secretary Huang to the storage room on the first floor, walked into a dark staircase, then turned a corner and opened a door. When she entered, Secretary Huang was stunned——
This room should be right next to the crystal room!
Her eyes fell on a wheelchair beside the bed, with a man sitting on it, his back to her.
Steward Feng said softly: "Sir, we have brought them here, you can talk!"
She said and exited!
Secretary Huang stared at the man and called his name for a long time, "You are Lu Zhan!"
She was sure that he was Lu Zhan, and he was in a wheelchair, so his legs...
She knew that Lu Zhan's leg had been seriously injured before. After all this time, he was still sitting in a wheelchair, so was he... She simply didn't dare to think about it.
