Chapter 72

The wedding was perfect. Until the process was completed and the wedding banquet ended, Chen Mo thought that this day was just an ordinary day. He attended the wedding as someone who had no relationship with the Yang family, and when he left, he just said congratulations to the host of today's wedding banquet.

But as the guests gradually left.

Chen Mo didn't see Xi Siyan. When he was about to leave after being asked by his colleagues, someone suddenly ran to his ear and whispered, "Something happened to the old man."

What Chen Mo thought at the time was that something had happened because some blind person in the Yang family had made the old man angry again.

Until he followed the people over.

I saw an old man who fell down the stairs and was about to be rushed to the hospital.

Chen Mo took a dazed look and saw the old man's gray face and the blood on the back of his head that dyed his white hair red. He froze in place, feeling that it was too unreal. Clearly early in the morning, he was still telling himself that he wanted to find someone to live a good life.

The scene of the accident was chaotic.

Chen Mo stood on the periphery and did not go over for a long time.

When he walked out of the hotel, Chen Mo saw Yang Shule waiting on the roadside with his friends.

He seemed to be waiting for him. He walked straight to Chen Mo and blocked his way. He smiled and said, "You broke off relations with your family when I was still in China. I heard that you have had almost no contact in the past few years. Chen Mo, you don't have to go at this time."

"Get out of the way." Chen Mo stared at his face, which had dark circles under its eyes only visible when he got closer.

Yang Shule maintained his posture, "After not seeing you for many years, you still look like this. It's as if the whole world owes you something."

Chen Mo: "I say it for the second time, get out of the way."

"What can you do to me if I don't let you do it?" Yang Shule sneered.

The two people standing behind Yang Shule who looked like bodyguards suddenly stepped forward, but unfortunately they didn't have time to touch the corner of Chen Mo's clothes. Because Chen Mo was stopped by someone first and was pulled back.

Xi Siyan stood beside him, looking at Yang Shule coldly.

"What favor did Lunar promise you?"

"Brother Yan is really well-informed." Yang Shule's eyes were fixed on Xi Siyan's face, with a complicated and distorted expression. He looked at Chen Mo, then back at Xi Siyan, and returned to normal: "But don't get me wrong, I really came back just to attend my eldest brother's wedding. As for Lunar, he doesn't need to promise me any benefits. He is my fiancé now."

Even Chen Mo frowned now.

"I was just surprised." Yang Shule spoke to Xi Siyan again: "You have been doing so well abroad, but I didn't expect that after returning to China, you would still be involved with Chen Mo."

Chen Mo was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.

Go past him and move forward.

"Chen Mo." Yang Shule called him and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to know how the old man fell down from the building for no reason? He has someone to take care of him 24 hours a day. Ah, it seems that the person is hired by you, right?"

Chen Mo suddenly turned around, grabbed Yang Shule's clothes, and said coldly: "It's you."

"Really not." Yang Shule showed a confident smile, and did not struggle: "I just told him that I could get the 20% of shares he held through Lunal's channels. At the beginning, I was no longer useful, so they threw me abroad. When I was abroad, they did not help me, so I had to come back to get it myself. But I didn't expect the old man to be so generous, saying that he would not leave it to me even if he donated it, and then he was careless... Bang! Do you think he can still survive at his age?"

Chen Mo pinched his clothes with his hands, making a terrifying squeaking sound.

My heart was in turmoil.

The current situation is the one that Chen Mo cannot accept the most.

Although the old man passed away earlier in his previous life, he did not suffer much pain, and he did not know that the shares of Yang Group fell into the hands of someone he did not want to hand them over to.

Even if Yang Zhi finally transferred the equity to Yang Shule, at least the situation was not like it is today.

Chen Mo would rather the equity be the result of fair and aboveboard business competition between himself and Yang Zhi, rather than becoming like today, where it became the butcher knife that Yang Shule wielded against the old man.

Chen Mo pulled the man closer and said word by word: "You'd better pray that Grandpa is safe."

"You are a guy who came back halfway, why are you pretending to be a grandfather and grandson? You...ah!"

Xi Siyan grabbed Yang Shule's hand, and when the other party showed a painful expression, the people Xi Siyan called also stopped the people brought by Yang Shule.

Xi Siyan turned to Chen Mo and said, "Let's go to the hospital first. Drive my car and leave this to me."

"Thank you." Chen Mo took the car keys he handed over and didn't want to say anything else at this time.

After knowing that Yang Shule had been involved with UA's Runar at some point, Chen Mo knew that it would be more appropriate for Xi Siyan to step in on this matter.

He walked to the side of the road with the car keys.

He could also hear Yang Shule's voice coming from behind him. He didn't have the pitiful tone of being clamped by Xi Siyan at all. It was as if he had lost the side of himself that he was best at in the past and became a little neurotic.

He said: "Ayan, I sent you so many emails when I was abroad, but you didn't reply. Do you still think it's all my fault? I followed Lunar because I had no choice. He is already so old, and you..."

Chen Mo had no idea what Xi Siyan felt.

But the anger in his heart increased for no reason because of these words. If possible, Chen Mo wanted to turn around, tear the person away from him, and throw him out.

The emergency room of a hospital in the center of Suicheng City.

It was afternoon.

The corridor outside the emergency room was crowded with people.

Chen Mo stood against the wall, looking at the old man's four children, including Chen Mo's biological father Yang Qi'an. They were arguing not about the old man's life safety, but about shirking responsibility and the ownership of the old man's shares.

From the initial debate, the voices became louder and louder.

"Enough!" The last person to stand up was Yang Zhi.

There were violent red bloodshot in his eyes: "Is this the time to argue about this?!"

After all, he had been in power for several years, and his power was growing day by day, so he had some prestige among the Yang family.

At this moment, accompanied by Su Qianran, he walked through the Yang family and came to the front of Chen Mo, saying hoarsely: "I just found out why Grandpa got into trouble. This matter will not be let go like this."

"You don't have to explain to me." Chen Mo had a blank expression on his face. "You have your own way of dealing with it, and I have mine."

Yang Zhi wiped his face and looked a little tired.

Su Qianran, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly and supported him.

Chen Mo kindly reminded Su Qianran for her sake, "Yang Shule is backed by UA's boss, Lunar. If you don't want to be caught off guard, you'd better prepare early."

Yang Zhi stared at Chen Mo for a while before saying, "I'm sorry."

"What?" Chen Mo frowned.

Su Qianran patted Yang Zhi and motioned him to sit over there for a while. She stayed where she was and said to Chen Mo, "Don't think that he wants to apologize to you because of Yang Shule's current state. He must have been holding back this apology in his heart for a long time. He is a stubborn person and didn't know how to apologize when we quarreled before. Chen Mo, I just want to say that no one is you. I don't know what you have been through, so it is normal not to forgive you. Don't feel burdened."

"Indeed, I didn't." Chen Mo pulled the corner of his mouth, "But if you keep talking, I'll feel sorry for you."

Su Qianran smiled.

Leaning there side by side with him.

After four full hours, the door of the emergency room was finally opened.

The old man was old and had surgery for intracranial hemorrhage. His life was saved for the time being, but it is unknown whether he can wake up.

Chen Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was suddenly lifted up again.

The elderly need to be monitored in the intensive care unit 24 hours a day.

Family members were unable to visit.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Mo dragged his tired body and left the hospital.

Prolonged mental tension is more exhausting than working overtime for several days in a row. He took off his coat and held it in his hand, walked out of the hospital gate, and when he was going down the long stone steps, he felt that his legs, which had lost some feeling and were numb, began to hurt a little.

Maybe he got hit on the way to the hospital, or maybe he stood for too long for several hours.

He allowed himself to sit down on the stone steps.

Occasionally, two or three people would come in and out of the entrance of the municipal hospital at night. It might be three minutes, or it might be ten minutes. When Chen Mo noticed someone getting out of the car parked on the side of the road, he did not stand up immediately.

Xi Siyan was still wearing the same formal suit he wore during the day.

He closed the car door and walked up the stone steps step by step.

"Why are you here?" When he got closer, Chen Mo looked up and asked him.

Xi Siyan turned around and squatted in front of him, "I'm here to pick you up, otherwise someone might have to spend the night on this ladder tonight."

Chen Mo looked at the figure squatting in front of him.

It overlapped with the figure that almost rolled down the stone stairs after playing ball that year, and then squatted in front of him.

From youth to young adulthood.

People around me come and go, but this person leaves and comes back again.

Chen Mo said nothing, squatted down and lay down.

It seemed effortless for Xi Siyan to carry him on his back, his steps were steady and neither fast nor slow.

The midnight wind felt a little cold when it blew into his neck, but the parts of their bodies that were touching each other allowed Chen Mo to absorb enough warmth.

Xi Siyan carried him down the stairs, but did not go to the car, and walked slowly along the roadside.

Xiao Lin followed behind in his car.

Chen Mo didn't say anything either.

There is a middle school not far from the hospital. On weekend nights, many people go out to eat and go shopping. They discuss the latest technology and the most popular topics. I accidentally saw a tall and handsome man carrying another equally good-looking young man on the side of the road. They were whispering to each other and making harmless jokes.

"Xi Siyan." Chen Mo put one hand on the other wrist, his suit jacket still hanging on Xi Siyan's chest, and said puzzledly: "I just heard someone say whether we are a couple. You also carried me on your back when we were in high school, why didn't anyone say anything?"

Xi Siyan: “Yes.”

"Did you hear it?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Xi Siyan hummed.

Chen Mo remembered that during the time when his leg injury relapsed, their relationship was not very close.

I asked with a smile: "Were you cursing me in your heart at that time, thinking that this guy who said he was gay was destroying my reputation."

"No. I was just wondering, this guy doesn't look short, how could he be so light?"

Chen Mo was speechless, "That's it?"

"What else?" Xi Siyan hugged him up, "It's still light now. Chen Mo, do you know what I was thinking when I saw you sitting on the steps alone just now?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I regret it again."

Xi Siyan said: "I always seem to regret meeting you. I regret leaving you. I think you should be able to live well on your own."

Chen Mo really lives a good life.

Not only does he think so, but people around him also think so.

Graduated from a prestigious university, had a successful career, had goals, a life, and money.

But Xi Siyan's words made Chen Mo feel as if his heart was grabbed by something, prickly and sour, making him frown.

I really can't stand this atmosphere.

Chen Mo changed the subject, "How did you solve it after I left this afternoon?"

"What else needs to be done?" Xi Siyan said calmly, "We had someone arrest him and throw him back at the door of the hotel where Lunar is staying."

Chen Mo recalled what he heard before he left in the afternoon.

His eyes darkened.

"Ayan." He suddenly leaned close to his ear and called out.

I could clearly feel Xi Siyan's feet pause, and his steps became slower, but his tone was normal: "Why did you suddenly call me like that?"

Chen Mo leaned against his ear and said, "Only others are allowed to scream, but I can't scream?"

There was a malicious dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was seeking revenge.

Xi Siyan dodged and said helplessly: "You can yell, but don't put your ear close to me."
