I was flattered to be praised by Zhou Yanli.
"Actually, I..." But I still can't bear such praise. After all, deep down in my heart, I chose to give up because of my incompetence.
"No need to explain too much." Zhou Yanli interrupted me. He picked up the fruit I brought, stood up and said, "I'm going back, together?"
I couldn't stay with my mother at night, so I had to go back first, or simply go downstairs with Zhou Yanli.
When the two of us passed the nurse's station, two young nurses looked at us and whispered.
"Is that Dr. Zhou's girlfriend? I see her often."
"No, you don't know her identity. Do you know Jin Han? She is Jin Han's ex-wife. Dr. Zhou and Jin Han are good friends..."
"ah?"
Their voices were not loud, but I had good hearing, so I could hear their conversation clearly.
Zhou Yanli also heard it. He stopped and, under my puzzled gaze, returned to the nurse station and coldly asked the two gossiping nurses, "This is during work. Your job is to take good care of the patients. This is not the place to talk about other people’s identities. If I hear this again, I will inform your head nurse.”
The two young nurses looked a little embarrassed when they were told that, and nodded with red faces.
When Zhou Yanli returned to me, I lowered my voice and said, "Actually, you don't need to say anything. They didn't say anything wrong, they were just gossiping."
"It's okay, let's go." Zhou Yanli shook his head and continued to leave with me.
After arriving at the hospital parking lot, I found my car first. Zhou Yanli's car was on another floor, and I didn't plan to take his ride.
After I got in the car, I said goodbye to Zhou Yanli. He seemed to have something else to say to me, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just told me to pay attention to safety on the road.
"You too." I responded.
Then I drove out of the parking lot. On the way, I received a call from my dad. He was relieved to learn that my mom's condition was stable, but I still had some bad news to tell him.
"Dad, are you and my uncle still negotiating with those investors?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yeah, but they agreed readily before. Just because your mother needs surgery, they all suddenly changed their minds?!" My dad's tone was also very tired and full of powerlessness.
I had already guessed it, because this group of people didn't want to help us at all. They went back on their word before the contract was signed. This approach undoubtedly caused my family to experience hope and despair.
Jin Han really opened my eyes.
"Dad, don't waste time on them anymore. All of this was designed by others." Although the truth was cruel, I still said these two sentences. I didn't want to watch my dad continue to try to save those people. People who are deliberately playing tricks on us!
My dad didn’t quite understand, so he asked, “Yiyi, what do you mean?”
"Those investors were all arranged by Jin Han. They didn't really help us at all. Now they all regret it, which is what Jin Han meant. So no matter what we do, they will never change their minds again." I said these words , my heart was numb.
In fact, I had already guessed that Jin Han would not let me go so easily. He had already humbled himself to beg me to get back together. But I hit him in the face again and again, and no matter how patient he was, he would still feel unhappy.
"What?!" When my dad heard this, he was so angry that he almost exploded. His voice was much higher and almost trembling.
"Dad, don't get excited yet!" I quickly comforted my dad, fearing that he would also get angry and do something wrong.
"What on earth does Jin Han want to do? What grudge does our family have against him, and he wants to do this?!" My dad was furious. Even if something happened to my family now, he was Jin Han's father-in-law after all, and he was an elder. His words He still has the majesty of his elders.
However, Jin Han might not take it seriously.
Before I could say anything else, my dad had already hung up the phone. When I called again, he didn't answer.
My heart immediately became anxious. I felt that my dad was so angry now that he would most likely call Jin Han to question him, or go directly to Jin Han.
It was already very late now, and my dad probably wouldn't go right away. With this little luck in mind, I turned around and rushed to the company.
When I rushed to the company, my uncle was still there, chatting with several shareholders. Seeing me coming, he was surprised, "Yiyi, why are you here?"
"Uncle, where is my dad?" I looked around, but I didn't see my dad.
"He has been walking for more than half an hour. I don't know what he was doing. Anyway, he was in a hurry. What happened?" My uncle also noticed something was wrong and immediately asked with concern.
I told my uncle about Jin Han’s deliberate deception. He was also angry about Jin Han’s actions, but compared to my dad’s mood, he was much more stable. He analyzed, “Your dad these days I’m under too much mental pressure. If I’m stimulated by this today, I’ll probably go find Jin Han!”
