Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 463
Chapter 463 He’s really doing it wrong
It was already eight o’clock in the evening when Lu Haochen and Xiao Meiyuan arrived at the hospital.
Xiao Meiyuan couldn’t help but cry as soon as she saw Lu Ding Shen in that state, and although Lu Haochen was also very sad, he could only coax his mother first, “Mom, don’t cry, dad is fine, last time it was that treacherous, dad survived it, and he’ll be fine now as well.”
Lu Xiaoxian had calmed down a lot and ran out to buy a bunch of food, thinking that coffee helps calm the mind, and bought hot coffee for Xiao Meiyuan and Lu Haochen.
The three people silently guarded outside the window until the nurse came over to rush them out, because they had already exceeded the standard visiting time for a long time, although they all didn’t want to leave, but in order to not let the nurse make things difficult for them, the three people had to go to the ward to rest. The formalities were all done by Lu Xiaoxian, although she didn’t know how much longer Lu Ding Shen was going to stay in the ICU, she still asked for a VIP room early to prepare for it, so that as long as Lu Ding Shen’s condition stabilized a little bit, he could come back to the ward to stay.
The top VIPs were all suites, with a large and a small room, as well as a separate small kitchen and bathroom. Lu Haochen let his mother and Lu Xiaoxian rest in the big room, and sat himself in the small room to smoke. As long as they survived this long night, there would be a result as to whether Lu Dingxian’s situation was good or bad.
He opened the window a little to let the smoke out of the house. The cold wind blew in with a biting chill, and he couldn’t help but shiver, forgetting for a moment that this was G City, where the spring chill was much colder than in Yawan.
Although no lights were turned on, the house wasn’t very dark, and it was only through the light from the next room that one could see the wheelhouse of everything. There was a figure lingering by the door, seemingly carefully recognizing his position, Lu Haochen knew that it was a bit uncomfortable to come from the light to the darkness, so he called out to her, “Xiao Xian.”
“Brother, you’re still awake,” Lu Xiaoxian adapted to the light in the room and came over to sit beside Lu Haochen, waving her hand at the scent of cigarette smoke still lingering in the room, “Don’t smoke so much, it’s not good for your body.”
“Is Mom asleep?”
“Lying on the bed with his clothes closed, but he shouldn’t be asleep,” Lu Xiaoxian sighed, “Aren’t you also not asleep?”
“Fairy, you’re scared today, aren’t you?”
Lu Xiaoxian was silent for a while before answering, “Yes, it scared me to death, back then, when A-Ma left, I was only six years old, I didn’t know too much yet, I thought that A-Ma was going to heaven to stay for a while, and would come back after she had gotten better, and then I realized that she would never come back, and at that time, I knew what it meant to be parted in life and in death. But now, in just a few months, I’ve lost so much, I’m truly afraid.” She rested her head on Lu Haochen’s shoulder, her voice low, “Brother, dad will be fine, right?”
“Of course,” Lu Haochen gently took her in his arms, coaxing her like a good brother who loves his sister, “Dad will be fine, Dad said that you are his life, he won’t leave you behind.”
Lu Xiaoxian didn’t say anything, Lu Haochen didn’t say anything for a long time, and the two of them just sat quietly in the late night of early spring, waiting for the dawn to come.
When Lu Xiaoxian woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the big room, while Xiao Meiyuan was sitting on the sofa with her eyebrows lowered, as if she was thinking about something.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, “Mom, where’s brother?”
Xiao Meiyuan lifted her eyes to look at her with a small smile, “Your brother went to get breakfast and said to let you sleep in a little longer.”
Lu Xiaoxian slipped off her shoes and said, “Didn’t I buy a lot of food yesterday? Cake, bread and milk are all there, just eat those, it’s cold and you’re still running out.”
“It’s because it’s cold and your brother said he had to let us eat something hot.” Xiao Meiyuan said, “Go wash your face and have breakfast when your brother comes back.”
Lu Xiaoxian took two steps and suddenly turned back to look at Xiao Meiyuan, yesterday’s Xiao Meiyuan was a different person compared to today’s Xiao Meiyuan, yesterday’s Xiao Meiyuan was weak and sad, but today’s Xiao Meiyuan is strong and optimistic. She couldn’t help but hug her, “Mom, you are so strong.”
All along, Xiao Meiyuan to Lu Xiaoxian are polite ingredients, after all, is not self-born, not like Lu Haochen raised from childhood affectionate, coupled with Lu Dingzhen love daughter as life, she really do not have any opportunity to be close to Lu Xiaoxian, did not expect her to take the initiative to embrace their own, and for a time there is some emotion.
Xiao Meiyuan patted Lu Xiaoxian’s back, “Good boy, you’re strong too, you must have been scared yesterday, right?”
Lu Haochen happened to push the door in and saw it, and joked, “What a mother-daughter love story, I want to hug too,” he said and literally put down what he was holding and walked over to hold Xiao Meiyuan and Lu Xiaoxian together in his arms, saying, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine!”
Lu Xiaoxian was very relieved, in the face of difficulties, it was rare that a family could be of one mind and be so optimistic, at least none of them had to worry about each other.
After breakfast, the nurse came and informed that they could visit the ICU.
The doctor was also there, telling them about some of Lu Ding Shen’s condition last night. Finally, he said, “So far, the situation is fine, and his vital signs are stable, just that after all, he has had a craniotomy, and will be asleep for a longer period of time, and his cerebral cortex is still active, proving that he has a strong sense of survival, so the danger period should have passed. Don’t worry too much. At most, he can stay for another three or four days, and then he can be transferred to the ward.”
The three of them breathed a huge sigh of relief and thanked the doctor.
In fact, the patients in the intensive care unit have doctors and nurses to take care of them, and the family members can’t do anything other than look out the window. When the time comes, Xiao Meiyuan goes back to the ward to rest, and Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Haochen go to Gu.
Lu Haochen one person to manage two companies, was too busy to split up, coupled with busy after the year, the work piles up, others are not in the Gulf, do not dare to have half a loose, will use Gu’s modern office, remote control, more or less can also do something.
Lu Xiaoxian let him work in Lu Dingxian’s former office, and went to the secretary’s office to draw a staff member to give him a temporary secretary to deal with some miscellaneous matters.
Some of the company’s top executives came over to greet Lu Haochen and asked about Lu Ding Shen’s injuries with concern, and were relieved to know that they had passed the danger period. On the contrary, Gu’s big boss Cheng Rui Zhang was nowhere to be seen.
If he didn’t come, Lu Xiaoxian had to go and walk in person, after all, he was now the president of the company and had to say hello.
When Meng Zi He saw her, he wasn’t as cold as usual and looked at her with sympathy in his eyes, “Xiao Xian, is Mr. Lu feeling better?”
Lu Xiaoxian said, “It’s passed the danger stage, is Mr. Cheng here?”
“It’s inside, you go in.” Meng Zi He said, taking the initiative to knock on the door for her, pushing it halfway open to let her in.
Cheng Ruizhang sat there smoking, the early spring sunshine, sprinkled in from the window, illuminating a bright room, but it could not illuminate him, he sat by the wall, looking forlorn and lonely, as if he still stayed in the passing winter.
A thin thread of green smoke rose upwards and filled the air in mid-air, his face hidden behind the smoke, not really visible.
Lu Xiaoxian rarely saw him like this, and felt a little strange, and was about to speak, when Cheng Rui Chang woke up as if in a shock, and instantly his face returned to its usual lightheartedness.
“Didn’t I say I’d give you a few days off? Why are you here again?” Cheng Ruizhang snickered, “Still uneasy, afraid I’ll sell the company?”
Lu Xiaoxian didn’t tease him and said very seriously, “My brother may not return to Yawan during this period of time, so he’ll be working at the company, are you okay with that?”
“No comment, you’re the general manager, I’ll still give this face. By the way, is Mr. Lu feeling better?”
“Still in the ICU, but he’s stabilized a bit.” Lu Xiaoxian said, “I came over just to say hello, you get busy, I’ll go out first.”
Cheng Ruichang said yes, flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and watched her walk out quickly.
The brown door was gently closed and the house was quiet again.
Cheng Rui Chang turned his chair towards the window, looking out at the wind and sunshine, and continued to swallow clouds and fog.
He didn’t deliberately think about anything, but Lu Xiaoxian’s silent and mournful face always appeared in front of his eyes, crying silently, tears pouring down, her big clear eyes looking so helpless.
In fact, she has always been very strong, from Gu Nianbin’s disappearance, to Gu Guangxian’s illness and death, including coming in just now, her face is no longer as sad and helpless as it was yesterday, but why, he always remembered the way she cried yesterday?
Clouds rolled in, time flew by, Cheng Rui Chang sat frozen from the morning until the afternoon, and the meal that Meng Zi He had brought in at noon was still sitting there in its original state.
He liked to be lost in thought, but after his mother left, he became very busy, and could no longer stay at her bedside for hours at a time like he used to, and after getting used to being busy, he was afraid of being alone, because it meant loneliness, and the loneliness of the soul.
Lu Xiaoxian said that they both grew up without a father and suffered the same, in fact, she was wrong, they are not the same at all, Lu Xiaoxian was lonely and isolated as a child, but when she grew up, she met Gu Nianbin and Lu Dingxian, and gained love and affection, and he, once upon a time, had never been alone, and for a long time, even though his mother couldn’t speak, she was alive, and he wasn’t alone, and they accompanied each other, and it was only now that he was alone, very, very alone.
Can’t stand the loneliness of the time, he will go to find Meng Zi He, that is also a lonely woman, they are both high IQ, but also low IQ, a little bit of warmth will be very precious, once trapped in it will be routed. It is a pity that they are too similar, so destined to have no destiny.
He could see Meng Zi He’s feelings for him, but he could only turn a blind eye, from their first time, he has been hurting her, knowingly, but continue, he told himself, it’s okay, anyway, he is a bad man, bad people specialize in doing bad things, what’s wrong with breaking a woman’s heart? Anyway, in all these years, Meng Zi He was not the first one whose heart was broken by him, and maybe it won’t be the last one.
But surprisingly, he couldn’t look at her sadness, those pouring tears seemed to be drenching his heart, oceanic and flooding, drowning his heart, and he couldn’t seem to breathe smoothly. The original heartache is such a taste!
Thirty years, he did not like who, because there is no time to wind and snow, not to mention the alliance, women in him is just some kind of need, or use the tool.
But surprisingly, he had unknowingly been poisoned by her.
When he first met her, she was thin and inconspicuous, he has always wondered, like Gu Nianbin and Lu Haochen, such an excellent man how will look at her, this kind of goods, white to send him don’t want, but slowly get along, but the body is not already attracted to her, she is like a small but the ability of the huge magnetic field, he will be firmly sucked in, can’t get rid of it.
For once, he thought he was really doing it wrong.
