Zi Jin is a little reserved. She is not a person who is good at lying or disguising herself. When she faced Qiao Shiyun before, she felt a little shadowy in her heart. After what happened last night, she became even more nervous.
"...Dad, wasn't I taking a shower last night, so I didn't hear you coming to me..."
Zijin's heart trembled slightly and she looked at Qiao Shiyun subconsciously. She remembered clearly that Qiao Shiyun had already asked this question at the breakfast table today. She said at that time that Qiao Jinglian was not here and had something to go out, and she was at
I was taking a shower in the room, so I didn't hear his knock on the door...
She couldn't understand why Qiao Shiyun suddenly asked again.
Although it sounds like she mentioned it accidentally, if she is not careful, it is really easy for her to be exposed.
Did she think too much? Or... Qiao Shiyun already had doubts about herself?
…………
"Look at my memory." Qiao Shiyun chuckled, stretched out his hand to ask Zijin to sit down, and said with a smile: "You told me this morning, I have been thinking about your father, so I forgot
You told me about this this morning."
Zi Jin said "Oh", and his mind was on Shen Dongming's matter. He didn't notice a strange emotion flashing across Qiao Shiyun's face, and quickly asked: "Dad, where is my father..."
What exactly is going on? Yesterday the housekeeper told me that, as you said, it will take another 2 or 3 days?"
Qiao Shiyun nodded, "There is still a course of treatment over there. In the last three days, after this course of treatment is over, you can go see your father. But Zijin, it's best not to bring up any sensitive topics, especially 5
What happened years ago, I don’t know why your father ended up like this, but according to the doctor, you went there frequently some time ago, and he suddenly got emotional and injured you twice, and later took care of you after you were injured.
His nurse, the doctor said, because you told him something about five years ago?"
"…………"
Zijin pursed his lips and looked a little pale.
She weighed in her mind whether she should tell Qiao Shiyun what her father told her?
In fact, she didn't seem to say anything, but it was indeed a little strange. She seemed to have said something that caused her father to suddenly become emotional, but she was not sure which word in what she said irritated her father.
And what happened 5 years ago...
It wasn't me who said it, but my father told me something.
But those words...should she tell Qiao Shiyun?
Zi Jin twisted his eyebrows and hesitated. Qiao Shiyun probably saw something different in her expression, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting. He coughed lightly, and when he spoke, his voice was very calm, "...
Zijin, what did your father say to you?"
"...Huh? Oh, no."
Zi Jin almost subconsciously added, in fact, she didn't want to hide anything. After briefly filtering her thoughts, she still felt that her father had not told her anything important. She had listened to it before.
What makes me suspicious of what my father said is that sometimes my father is very conscious, but the people at the hospital always give him sedatives...
Zijin hesitated for a moment and then said, "Dad, there is something I want to tell you."
"you say."
"...Actually, when I went to see my father before, I felt that he seemed to be sane sometimes and would tell me some past things, but as he spoke, his emotions would suddenly get excited again. But that time,
When he gets excited, the hospital staff will inject him with sedatives."
Zi Jin bit his lip and carefully looked at Qiao Shiyun, who had a calm face, "...Dad, can you find other ways to adjust my father's mood? Keeping sedatives like this will do too much harm to his body.
Tranquilizers have side effects."
"Oh? Really?"
Qiao Shiyun seemed a little surprised. He reached out and touched the prickly beard at the corner of his lips. "So, your father is sometimes sane?"
Zijin nodded, "Yes, that's why... I had an argument with the people in the hospital that day. Dad, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think it may not be helpful for my father to be locked up in it like this. I
He is his only relative in this world. I thought... could you let me bring my father out? I can take care of him by myself, I..."
"Zi Jin."
Qiao Shiyun interrupted her. Seeing that her mood was ups and downs, he stretched out his hand with a kind face and patted her shoulder, "Relax. You also said that you believe in dad, right? So you have to believe in me."
The doctors assigned to your father are doctors who are very knowledgeable about mental health. They will not mess around. And the sedatives you are worried about are different from the sedatives in our ordinary hospitals. They are all given by me.
If you get it from abroad, it will definitely not have any side effects on your father."
"……Really?"
"Of course, how could dad lie to you?"
Qiao Shiyun sighed softly, squeezed Zijin's shoulders, and slowly stood up, "Zijin, it's not that dad doesn't agree with you and your daughter getting along, but his current situation... he cannot leave the hospital.
If something happens to him outside, I won't be able to protect him at that time. If he is sent to Qingshan, he will never come out again in this life."
"…………"
Zijin's heart trembled - he was sent to Qingshan, which was a real mental hospital. It was indeed as Qiao Shiyun said, once you go in, you will never come out again...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, "...Dad, it was me who was abrupt."
"It's okay, I know how you feel, I can understand it."
Qiao Shiyun paused, and then said: "Don't worry about this matter. After the treatment, you can go and see him, but try not to mention the past things to him." He changed the subject very naturally, "Before, I
I went to the UK and met your tutor. He asked me specifically about you and told me some things about your time in the UK. Dad was too busy during this period. When you came back, he didn’t have time to ask you.
The situation over there. I heard you say before that you met Yan Shen in England, right?"
"…………"
Zijin didn't expect that he would suddenly mention Gu Yanshen, this sensitive name. As soon as it hit her ears, her whole body immediately tensed up, "...Yes, I have seen it before."
"I didn't ask you carefully at that time, on what occasion did you meet?"
"…………"
Zijin's heart was beating wildly. When did he meet him? When did he meet him...
Her mind went blank for a moment. She was so panicked that her tightly pursed lips were trembling. But she knew that she must not be exposed in front of Qiao Shijun, otherwise everything would be messed up, but...
On what occasion did we meet?
She remembered that Qiao Jinglian also asked herself such a question at that time. How did she answer it at that time?
"...Dad, I actually can't remember clearly on what occasion I met Gu...I met my eldest brother. When he came back to Qiao's house that day, I remembered that I seemed to have met him. The impression was a bit blurry.
If you ask me this now, I can't remember it for a moment."
"Is that so?"
Qiao Shiyun looked thoughtful again, and his low voice was somewhat unclear, "I think he takes good care of you, and in the Qiao family, he has a closer relationship with you, so
I thought you would have a good relationship... in the UK, but it seems I overthought it."
Zijin's palms were covered in cold sweat, but her face still maintained a basic composure. She smiled weakly, feeling that the corners of her mouth were about to freeze.
"It's okay. Don't be nervous. Dad is just asking."
Qiao Shiyun looked at Zijin and said: "In our family, as you know, the relationship is complicated. Dad, I don't expect anything else. I just hope that you and Jinglian will be fine. You don't have to worry about anything. Everything that should be given to you will be given to you."
It belongs to you. It should belong to Jinglian, and it will also belong to him. Xie Lingxi will not be an obstacle to you. As for Yan Shen, I can see that he trusts you more now, so you study hard with him.
It’s also very good, but…”
When Qiao Shiyun said this, she paused deliberately. Zijin's heart rose in her throat. She pursed her lips and said, "...Dad, what do you want to say?"
"Haha, it's okay. As a father, I worry about my children. Zijin, you know, dad always treats you as his own daughter, so dad won't hide some words and just talk directly to you.
You said it - this Yan Shen is Jing Lian's brother after all. Although you also call him big brother, there is still a pure difference between men and women between you. Do you know? You can't get too close, otherwise
If you do, people will gossip about you. Of course, it’s not that dad doesn’t believe you and Yan Shen, but he just wants to tell you that Jing Lian, this kid, is sometimes stubborn, like last night, your phone was on Yan Shen
In a deep room, this... is somewhat deviant."
Zijin's heart felt like a huge stone was stuck in her throat. She felt uncomfortable and ashamed, but she had to pretend as if nothing had happened. It was really painful.
She nodded, not daring to look into Qiao Shiyun's eyes anymore, lowered her eyes, and whispered: "...Dad, I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Qiao Shiyun looked at her reserved and awkward look, frowned slightly, and after giving her a moderate slap, he hurriedly handed over a sweet date: "Zijin, do you feel wronged? Don't be sad, dad.
I don’t mean not to believe you, Dad will never misunderstand this kind of thing, but Qiao has a large family, and you know your mother-in-law... I’m just worrying about it, don’t think too much, don’t be sad, kid."
When he said this, Zijin naturally felt even more uncomfortable.
But this feeling of shame has always been lingering on the tip of my heart. Over time, it has become "natural".
She even smiled at Qiao Shiyun, even though she knew clearly that at this time, her smile must be uglier than crying, "...Dad, I know, thank you."
Qiao Shiyun understood Zijin's personality. He came over to say these words to her at this time. It sounded neither light nor serious. After saying it, it was a bit comforting. Naturally, he had a good sense of proportion in his heart.
He knew very well that Zijin's temperament was not too soft or personalityless. On the contrary, there was a bit of stubbornness in her bones that was difficult for others to control. This was also part of what he admired about her.
He was not sure now whether there was really any ambiguous relationship between her and Yan Shen, but after what happened last night, he thought carefully that even if the two people were not ambiguous yet, something would definitely happen if it continued like this for a long time.
A young man, full of blood, he was young once, and this kind of taboo relationship will stimulate a man's possessiveness. Qiao Shiyun has been in the shopping mall for so many years, how could he not know about such romantic affairs?
Therefore, he had thought last night that since he could not fully control his son now, he would start with Zijin.
This child has always been very grateful to her, and her words will definitely play a decisive role in her case.
Qiao Shiyun did not "bet the wrong thing". What he just said had a huge impact on Zijin.
But what he didn't expect was that the relationship between her and Gu Yanshen had already developed into a deeper relationship than he expected. For Zijin, nervousness, fear, shame, and moral spurs were experienced every day.
It has been staged countless times, and when I get to him, although this feeling will be strong, it is not as panicky as when I just experienced it before, as if the whole world is about to collapse.
Maybe, people are like this, no matter it is about things, people, or feelings, it seems like they are numb after too many times.
※※※※※
When Gu Yanshen returned to the Qiao family, he happened to see Qiao Shiyun coming down from the (floor).
The two father and son met at the elevator door. Qiao Shiyun asked the driver who was following him to drive first, "Why are you out?"
"Well, I have something to take care of." Gu Yanshen knew that he came to see Zijin, but in order to avoid being noticed, he still asked casually, "Why are you here today?"
Qiao Shiyun's eyes flickered, "Come and take a look."
He didn't mention Zijin, and of course Gu Yanshen pretended not to know anything. He nodded, raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said in a low voice, a bit cold and distant, "I have a meeting later.
If there is nothing else, I will go up first."
Qiao Shiyun felt a little taboo about her son's attitude towards her being so unfamiliar.
However, because of the distance between Gu Yanshen and him, he knew in his heart that he could not be entirely blamed. He sighed softly and said: "... Yanshen, I asked someone to look at the project that Jinglian took over before, and he stopped halfway.
After all, Mr. Qiao still suffered a loss in the end, but this kid... probably won't take the initiative to find you. In this matter, when he was looking for a partner, he didn't take a long-term view. It was a lesson to him. You see, so
If a good project is stopped midway, every minute will be a loss. I know he has recently found a new partner, so if you can, please help him."
Gu Yanshen reached out and tugged at his collar, and raised the corners of his lips without emotion. He didn't seem to intend to give Qiao Shiyun any face, so he said directly: "...I want to help him, but he must be willing to let me help.
.”
"…………"
Just as the elevator opposite came down again, as soon as the double doors opened, there were two female voices coming out——
"...Yes, you don't even know. I was shocked just now. When did Master Lian care about that wife so much? He actually asked us to get out of the elevator, and he hugged Shen Zijin and said not to let her go.
We act as light bulbs, and I don’t know if the two of us were making out in the elevator..."
"Isn't it? Master Lian is not with that Xie Lingxi..."
"Ah... Chairman Qiao, Mr. Gu..."
…………
There were three women standing in the elevator. Two of them were the ones who were kicked out of the elevator by Qiao Jinglian. They were just talking about what happened in the elevator. An uninformed person next to them had an obviously uncomfortable look on their face.
He looked like he believed it, and halfway through his words, he saw the two people standing at the door of the elevator.
The two of them immediately stopped talking, their faces looked very ugly, they pulled each other and hurriedly got out of the elevator.
Qiao Shiyun's face looked a little ugly. He tapped the cane on the ground gently and said seriously: "I asked you to come to the company to work, not to gossip. Don't you know?"
"…………"
"Also, the Young Master Lian and Shen Zijin you talk about are husband and wife, and they can do anything. However, I hope you remember that in the future, the words "Xie Lingxi" will never be mentioned in the company. Knowing the Qiao family
Who is your young mistress? Know this clearly!"
The three women turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly, "Yes...Dr. Qiao, we know we were wrong, and we will never dare to say nonsense again."
People outside have said that Qiao Shiyun feels very sorry for Qiao Jinglian's wife. It seems that this rumor is not false at all. Seeing Qiao Shiyun protecting his daughter-in-law like this, how can several female employees of the company dare to mess up again?
He said, apologized profusely, got permission, and ran away on hot wheels.
As soon as the women left, Qiao Shiyun turned around. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Yanshen's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and then said to Qiao Shiyun: "I'll go up first. I know what's going on with the project. You can
Don't worry, I won't let Mr. Qiao do a loss-making business, I have a meeting in 5 minutes."
As he spoke, without waiting for Qiao Shiyun to say anything, he answered the phone and directly pressed the door button of the special elevator. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he opened his long legs and walked in.
As soon as the double doors closed, Gu Yan gave a deep "hmm" and said, "I'll be in the office right away. Wait for me over there."
He hung up the phone, and his delicate facial features suddenly became particularly gloomy. He held the phone in one hand and tapped the elevator wall repeatedly. In the silent space, the slight collision sound seemed monotonous, but with a hint of
Obvious pressure.
——When did Mr. Lian still care about his wife so much? He actually asked us to get out of the elevator, hugged Shen Zijin, and said not to let us be light bulbs. He didn’t know if the two of them were making out in the elevator...
…………
The man's deep eyes suddenly flickered - making love?
