Chapter 53 Love Moon 053 The power is so great...
As the footsteps left, without waiting for Dai Wenchun to chase after him, Xiao Zhiyan said, "I'll go after him, don't worry, auntie."
"Brother-in-law, I'm going too!"
As Qin Yang was about to go downstairs, he was stopped by Qin Shu behind the door: "Why are you going? Come back!"
Xiao Zhiyan glanced at him and quickly went downstairs.
When he pushed open the door, a cold wind blew in without any shelter. He Chuyue shrank from the cold and was glad that she had taken the car keys with her.
White snow fell from the sky, and the ground turned white, as if it was a huge white box, and she was the person standing in the box.
The only person in the box.
Before she stepped into the snow, she was startled by the hurried footsteps behind her ears. When she turned around, she met the eyes of Xiao Zhiyan who opened the door.
I was stunned when I felt his violently heaving chest and his subconsciously relaxed tense expression.
"Why are you running so fast?"
She pulled the corners of her lips and found that she couldn't laugh.
"If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself."
Xiao Zhiyan didn't let out a breath, he held her hand to check her temperature, and not surprisingly, her palm was cold.
He wrapped his hands completely and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The wind whistled in my ears, blowing up the floating snow on the ground, and white mist filled the air around me, making it look like a snow scene in a crystal ball that was turned upside down.
She looked up at the shadow on the third-floor window and murmured, "Did my aunt cry just now?"
Xiao Zhiyan raised his eyes and held her hand tightly.
"Since the money has been given to them, how they spend it is none of my business. I shouldn't have been so rude just now. It's only 50,000 yuan. I'll just give it to them. Why are we arguing?"
It sounded like words of self-blame, but also like a whisper.
He Chuyue's eyes were red, but clear without any tears.
She asked, "You said, I want to apologize to them, but I don't want to see my grandma, uncle, and aunt. What should I do?"
The wind blew through her coat, and she felt Xiao Zhiyan's body temperature was dropping, so she held his fingers to keep each other warm.
Xiao Zhiyan lowered his head without saying a word, and finally raised his eyes when his fingers were held.
He Chuyue was stunned when she saw his expression: "You..."
Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms with such force that it seemed as if he was embedding her into his body.
Xiao Zhiyan had never behaved so out of control in front of her. Thinking of the sadness between his eyebrows hitting his eyes like a sledgehammer hitting her, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
She raised her hand to pat his back, but her restrained arms were too strong, and He Chuyue could not move. She could only touch his shoulder and mumble:
"Xiao Zhiyan, what's wrong with you?"
What responded to her was the wind and snow in her ears and the man's heavy nasal voice.
He seemed to want to speak, but was afraid that she would notice something was wrong, so he shook his head.
What an unconvincing excuse.
Her eyelashes fluttered and a snowflake fell there.
Her chest was shaking, and she heard him speak with an unsteady breath: "Chu Yue, how can you be so rational?"
She curled the corners of her lips and joked, "Haven't you felt sad for me before?"
Feeling the arms tightening, He Chuyue pressed against his neck and comforted him, "I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable thinking that I've burdened them again."
"It was like that when they were little. Now, because He Changda disturbed them, I was so mean to them. Why am I such a bad person?"
"Emotions are complicated and cannot be avoided. Chu Yue, don't say that. My aunt and uncle won't blame you."
"Don't feel sorry for me."
When the restraints were released, she saw Xiao Zhiyan with a red nose.
He had fair skin to begin with, and his cold face now showed a hint of pity. Under the wrinkled eyelids, the sparse and broken eyes gazed at her affectionately. The falling snow hit his eyelashes, but he remained stubborn and did not blink, tightening his grip on her hand.
How can someone be so beautiful even when they are sad?
He Chuyue slowly lost her focus......
The cold wind blew away some emotions and also brought some wind and snow.
Xiao Zhiyan's nose was red, and his voice was trembling: "Sometimes I wish you could be more selfish and not take on all the emotions by yourself, okay?"
She nodded: "I'm used to it. I know being sad is useless, so why should I cry?"
Xiao Zhiyan frowned and said seriously, "I'll help you get the money back."
He Chuyue was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and raised her hand to brush away the snowflakes on his eyelashes: "How can you help me? Are you a lawyer?"
"I......"
"I was just saying that. They had their fill of it, so I want to have some too. As for the 50,000 yuan, He Changda must have used some conditions to exchange it with my aunt so that he could get it. I didn't expect that just now."
"So what are you going to do?"
Xiao Zhiyan spoke sincerely, without any intention of joking.
Seeing this, He Chuyue inexplicably thought of another scene:
At school, Xiao Zhiyan, a model student with excellent academic performance and good conduct, is bewitched by bad students who do all kinds of evil and start skipping classes, fighting, and becoming a gangster. Finally, he defended the bad student in front of the parents who came to dissuade him, saying that everything was his own will...
Her eyebrows twitched, and she put her thoughts back on track: "I don't know. Let me apologize to my aunt and the others first. I was impulsive just now. I made such a joke on New Year's Day."
"Then wait in the car."
Not long after the two got in the car, the door to the building was pushed open, and Dai Wenchun and his companions walked over. He Chuyue wanted to open the door and get out of the car but was stopped by Xiao Zhiyan:
"Auntie said to just wait for them in the car."
As they were talking, they had already opened the door and got in the car. He Chuyue was unusually embarrassed. Before she could say anything, Dai Wenchun said, "Niuniu, I kept this from you. I didn't want you to know anything about him, but I messed up."
The tip of her nose felt sore, and all the accumulated guilt burst out at this moment, and He Chuyue couldn't stop her tears from bursting out.
"Aunt, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that... If it weren't for me, He Changda wouldn't have come to see..."
"Silly child, what are you talking about? No matter what, he is still my ex-brother-in-law. We are still related regardless of you or not. He is shameless and thick-skinned. What does it have to do with you?"
She shook Dai Wenchun's hand back and asked, "So, how did he get the fifty thousand dollars?"
Dai Wenchun looked hesitant, and Qin Tai said, "Now that things have come to this, why are you still hiding it? Tell the child right away."
She then said, "He came to our house several times and said he wanted to see you. After knowing that we would not give you your phone number, he asked for money to stop asking about you. His...the child is sick, and he is still short of 50,000 yuan for the surgery."
That child?
He Chuyue's beautiful eyes flashed with doubt, and then she knew who it was.
"What's wrong?"
"Congenital heart disease, inherited from the child's mother."
She lowered her eyes, her tone unchanged: "Anything else?"
Xiao Zhiyan had been looking at her, his brows furrowed even more at this moment, with an expression of pity in his eyes.
Dai Wenchun's voice was the only one in the car: "He didn't say too much, just that he would come back to see a doctor if he went abroad. Since it's congenital, it must be from her mother's side. He Changda doesn't have this disease."
"That's his family affair, aunt. If he comes to ask for money again, don't worry about it. Let me handle it. I will make him return the 50,000 yuan."
"No, Niuniu, just think of this fifty thousand dollars as money to buy some peace and quiet. We will just ignore him from now on. Don't go looking for him again. I don't think he's doing well right now. Don't do anything extreme to hurt you."
He Chuyue wanted to say something but didn't and just nodded. Then he asked, "Is it okay for you not to eat at your uncle's house?"
"Hey, sister, what are you going to eat?" Qin Yangyi next to her finally found a topic to talk about. "Anyway, I don't like uncle's cooking without salt. It doesn't taste good. Why don't we go home and eat?"
Qin Tai glared at him and said, "How can you talk like that, kid? Your grandma loves you so much, she couldn't bear to see you leave just now."
Qin Yang retreated to the back seat, but Dai Wenchun interrupted him: "What's wrong, you don't want to eat? You want to eat? If you want to eat, open the car door and get out to eat now."
"Go, go, go, you traitor. You didn't help your sister-in-law when she said that to Niuniu, but now you're talking nonsense. Besides, I've long been fed up with your family's theories. I put up with it last time we had dinner together, but today your mother won't stop talking again. Since you're on your mother's side, don't get in the same car with us. Get out!"
Qin Yangyi echoed: "That's right, get out!"
"You kid, you deserve a beating, don't you?" Qin Tai blew his beard and glared, but when he saw Dai Wenchun, his expression was different, "I'm not standing with them, I'm in the same camp with us."
He went to pull He Chuyue to testify: "Ha, Niuniu, your uncle has always been on your side."
"Go away, it's too late to show your loyalty now..."
The tense atmosphere was easily resolved. The car started in the snow and drove towards the center of the snowstorm. The tire tracks left behind were covered by newly fallen snowflakes and disappeared without a trace, as if all the unpleasantness of the night had never happened.
At night, He Chuyue had a nightmare again after many days. Compared to his helplessness the first time, Xiao Zhiyan was much more calm this time and gently coaxed her until she fell asleep.
Recalling that the last nightmare was probably caused by He Changda's return, He Chuyue said that it was okay, but the childhood trauma was still there. And this time, it was undoubtedly what I heard at my uncle's house.
Thinking of this, he lost the desire to fall asleep and stared at the sleeping face in front of him with his eyes open.
Although she had escaped from the nightmare, He Chuyue's handsome brows were still furrowed and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was still having a bad dream.
Xiao Zhiyan felt as if his heart was being pressed down by a huge rock, and his expression was not much more relaxed than hers. He stretched out his hand, gently rubbed her frowning brows with his fingertips, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and gently stroked her cheek, whispering in an intimate and distressed tone:
"Chu Yue, it's just a nightmare, it's not real."
It was bright outside. Xiao Zhiyan, who had not slept in the middle of the night, lifted the quilt and quietly got out of bed.
In the living room, Dai Wenchun, who seemed to have not slept all night, sat on the sofa for a long time. He did not expect someone to get up so early. He looked over in surprise and found that it was Xiao Zhiyan, then pulled his stiff face.
"Zhiyan woke up so early, didn't you sleep a little longer?"
He shook his head, saw the dark circles under her eyes, and said bluntly: "Aunt, have you been sitting here all night?"
Dai Wenchun's smile froze, but he didn't hide it and agreed.
A sigh spread in silence, Xiao Zhiyan sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "Chu Yue had another nightmare in the early morning."
"Again?" she asked in surprise. "When else?"
With his calm gaze falling on her face, Xiao Zhiyan was certain of his guess that He Chuyue's nightmare was not the first time it happened.
"And the night of grandma's birthday."
"oh oh."
Dai Wenchun nodded with empty eyes, and when he turned around, tears glistened in his eyes.
She clenched her hands into fists and endured it again and again. Finally, her emotions overcame her reason and she cursed in a very low voice: "He Changda, you bastard! Why doesn't he just die!"
After scolding her, she started to cry softly. Xiao Zhiyan handed her the tissue on the table and said, "Don't cry."
Dai Wenchun clenched the paper tightly but did not use it to wipe his face. He stared at a certain place with bloodshot eyes.
"Nightmare syndrome! How big a knot must be in one's heart to cause such a disease? Niuniu was only six years old, a little kid who knew nothing about the world! She didn't have a good night's sleep that year! She was so young, why did she have to suffer so much? Why! That damn He Changda, how dare he? If my sister knew that Niuniu suffered so much, how sad she would be..."
The suppressed crying finally attracted Qin Tai. Seeing Dai Wenchun like this, he sighed and told her not to embarrass herself in front of Xiao Zhiyan.
Dai Wenchun was concerned that the children were all at home, and was afraid that the noise she made would disturb them. She finally stopped crying and looked at Xiao Zhiyan: "Zhiyan, Niuniu is suffering from a mental illness. She...she had no choice but to get this disease. She didn't do it on purpose. Don't be afraid. Be more...more understanding, okay?"
Xiao Zhiyan's face never relaxed. When she heard Dai Wenchun say this, she knew what she was afraid of. She said seriously, "Aunt and uncle, since I love her, I not only admire her goodness, but I will be happy to have everything she has. She faced all this by herself before, but now she has me, and I will accompany her in the future, so please rest assured."
The couple were both relieved and nodded: "We all see how good you are to Niuniu, so we naturally trust you. But Niuniu herself doesn't know her illness, and taking her to see a doctor rashly may be..."
"I understand. I understand."
"......"
The New Year also came to an end in this snowstorm. He Chuyue and Xiao Zhiyan stayed at Dai Wenchun's house for two more days before returning to their own home.
On the way, the two first went to the villa to pick up the coffee, and then went to the supermarket to buy vegetables to prepare to cook at home.
Before calculating the bill, she glanced at the items on the shelf, paused, and looked at someone, hinting.
Xiao Zhiyan followed his gaze and paused, "Let's go to the convenience store downstairs and buy it."
He Chuyue tilted her head: "Why?"
He glanced at the salesperson: "The clerk at the convenience store is a boy."
She blinked, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses: "We can take it to the self-service scanning machine to settle the bill."
Xiao Zhiyan still didn't understand. Qingjun showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face, and his slightly red ears appeared again: "Chu Yue, let's go to the convenience store to buy it, okay?"
"Pfft." He Chuyue couldn't help but pinch his cheek and said fiercely, "No."
Catching the embarrassment in his eyes, she let go of his hand and asked, "Any other reason?"
"I've never bought it before, I'm afraid I'll buy the wrong one."
The first time in the hotel, the size was wrong.
She understood.
There were a lot of people in the supermarket and many people were queuing to check out. It was really embarrassing to take that thing in front of so many people. He Chuyue had also seen it and remembered that when she urged Xiao Zhiyan, his face turned red, so she continued to tease him, but she didn't want him to really go and get it.
The two of them pushed the cart towards the self-service machine. When Xiao Zhiyan scanned the code, He Chuyue took his arm and leaned over to ask in a low voice: "Is the size right last time?"
...
Xiao Zhiyan received a call from Tang Huimin asking her to go back to the law firm. He sent her downstairs before leaving and asked her to call him when she was done and he would pick her up.
Walking alone to the law firm, the Chinese New Year-flavored Chinese characters for "Fu" and bright red spread all the way to the eleventh floor.
The door of Tang Huimin's office was open. Before He Chuyue entered, she saw a familiar person sitting on the sofa. His behavior and attitude were different from the one he saw at the party.
"Come on, take a seat." Tang Huimin stood up and pointed to the chair next to her. "Everyone is here, let's get started."
In the office, besides He Chuyue and Tang Huimin, there was also Chen Xu, the person she saw at first sight. Next to him was Gu Xuyuan, Gu Qianqian's brother and also a director of Gu Group. Finally, there was Xiao Wei sitting next to her, and her graduate supervisor Wang Tian whom she had not seen for a long time.
When she met Wang Tian's eyes, she was obviously stunned. She didn't expect to see him here. In contrast, Wang Tian's reaction was much calmer. His smiling face was full of kindness, and he nodded slightly in response.
"Mr. Gu, please speak." Tang Huimin said politely.
Gu Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "I am just watching as a matchmaker. Mr. Chen is the person involved. Please let Mr. Chen speak."
Chen Xu also shook his head and said humbly, "President Tang should come."
Tang Huimin looked around and smiled, "Let me tell you. I believe everyone here knows about the medical accident of Mingchan Pharmaceutical that made a lot of noise some time ago. Mr. Chen, as the company's agent, found us HC and hoped that HC could represent this case."
She looked to her left, "Chu Yue, Xiao Wei, Mr. Gu and Mr. Chen hope that you can handle this case together. Is there any problem?"
Xiao Wei agreed readily, as if he had known it for a long time. On the contrary, He Chuyue hesitated for a moment before remembering the phone call two days ago and agreed.
Ten minutes later, He Chuyue understood the whole story.
In addition to running domestic famous pharmaceutical companies, Chen Xu is also involved in pharmaceutical investments and shops, and has also registered a laboratory abroad.
Previously, the laboratory had been responsible for collaborating with Canadian laboratories, mainly for the development of drugs and observation of the cellular composition of rare diseases. New drugs developed in the laboratory will be circulated in the market after meeting the standards, and two months later, domestic famous pharmaceutical companies will cooperate in the distribution and application. This situation cannot be allowed to continue in the long run.
But something happened a year ago. The two main experimenters in the laboratory had different opinions on the experiment of the same structure, and after many exchanges and experiments, they still could not convince each other.
It happened that someone in the family of one of them was hospitalized, and he had to agree to the other person's plan because he had to take care of his family. Nine months later, the new drug was finally developed and was ready to be circulated on the market after safety testing. However, the bad thing was that there was also an identical drug developed by another pharmaceutical company's laboratory circulating on the market, and the formula and side effects were almost exactly the same.
After Chen Xu's incident fermented abroad, the pharmaceutical teams of both laboratories were detained and interrogated, but nothing suspicious was found. The news was only known in the country recently, and it coincided with the seizure of Chen Xu’s assets due to tax evasion, so there is only now time to resolve the issue.
What He Chuyue has to do is to act as the attorney for Mingchan Pharmaceutical and sue the other laboratory for suspected patent infringement.
Since patent infringement is a civil case, Xiao Wei, who is good at criminal cases, assisted He Chuyue in completing this case.
After the simple plan took shape, the team list that Chen Xu asked his secretary to compile had not yet come out. He Chuyue started with the drug development process. After assigning the tasks, she and Wang Tian finally had a chance to talk.
"Why is the teacher here?" She poured water for Wang Tian.
Wang Tian didn't say a word the whole time, just watched. Now he came to find her while everyone else was gone.
"It's been a while since we last met, I thought I'd come see you."
He Chuyue's pretty eyes curved and she raised her eyebrows, "And by the way, let's listen to the patent infringement case?"
Hearing the teasing in her words, Wang Tian laughed but didn't feel relaxed at all. He pointed at her and said, "Girl, you are still sharp-eyed. In fact, this is my own private matter and a family shame. It's not good for others to know. After thinking about it, I decided to trouble you."
When she heard that Wang Feng was in trouble, she couldn't help but get nervous: "What happened?"
"It's really hard to say, Chu Yue, you promised the teacher that you would never let anyone else know about this, okay?"
He Chuyue nodded seriously, and Wang Feng felt relieved.
"You also know my daughter Zhenzhen. Didn't she go abroad for further studies a few years ago? In the past two years, she returned to China and worked as the chief designer in Lin City. A while ago, she told us that she was dating someone. The other party's character and family background were all very good, and they praised him to the sky. Your master's wife and I felt that it was unreal and were afraid that she was being deceived, so we discussed for both parties to meet. Who knew that she agreed at first, but then she kept refusing."
"After a long time, your master's wife and I became suspicious. She was hesitant when we called her. Your master's wife was worried so she went to see her. It was only when she went there that she found out...her boyfriend registered a company in her name, took out a loan and ran away. Fifty million, Chu Yue, Zhenzhen has to repay that man's fifty million debt. I have thought of all kinds of ways, but there is no solution..."
-
Kyoto University.
On the way back, Xiao Zhiyan received a call from Yan Feng and rushed over. Seeing Jiang Xu and Duan Zeming in the office, he glanced at them quickly and nodded to Yan Feng.
"I called you here before the start date because I have something to tell you. I'm sure you've all heard about the cooperation with the Linshi Medical College to develop a joint laboratory. The hospital has decided that Jiang Xu will be the person in charge of this project."
"Zhiyan and Zeming are important experimenters participating in the project research. I hope you can cooperate with each other and complement each other. As for the rest, the hospital is still considering it. It is estimated that a notice will be issued in the next two days."
Xiao Zhiyan caught a glimpse of Jiang Xu from the corner of his eye. The latter looked smug. He felt bored and looked away indifferently. Duan Zeming, who saw everything, was already gloomy, and now he was so angry that his teeth were itching and his mouth was chattering.
"Then you will hand over to the person in charge of the other party. I will send you the WeChat ID later. We will discuss the rest after the work officially starts."
Yan Feng ordered them to leave. Jiang Xu stood up, glanced at the two people who had not moved, snorted coldly, and left.
Yan Feng looked at the two of them and said, "I'm keeping you here because I need your help with something else."
Ten minutes later, Duan Zeming lost his patience and stared at the dark circles under his eyes, "Why hasn't Director Yan's friend arrived yet? He came so late to ask our laboratory for help in testing the drug ingredients. He is just insincere. Why should we help such a person?"
Xiao Zhiyan looked up from the computer and said, "Wait a little longer. Maybe he got delayed on the way."
Keeping his eyes on his face, Xiao Zhiyan still asked, "Are you okay?"
Finally, he pointed to his own spot.
Duan Zeming understood and waved his hand, saying, "It's over with the emotional matter."
Xiao Zhiyan didn't ask any more questions, and the room became unusually quiet.
In a moment, Duan Zeming picked up the topic just now: "You are the only one with a good temper, why did you give this project to that guy Jiang Xu?"
"It's the decision of the hospital. It doesn't matter who it is given to."
"It's all the same. If he is given such a powerful project, wouldn't he be offered a professorship directly? Xiao Zhiyan, are you stupid? Does He Chuyue know?"
He knew that he was speaking up for him, so he said politely, "Zeming, thank you for speaking up for me."
Duan Zeming was stunned for a moment, especially when he saw the smile on his lips. He felt uncomfortable all over, "You'd better stop smiling. I'm used to seeing your cold face. I'm not used to you like this now."
Xiao Zhiyan smiled helplessly.
"Forget it, just don't mind. I just can't stand his behavior. If the project was given to you, you would definitely not be like this. Do you know what I like most about you?"
The people at the table stared at each other, and the latter said, "What do you admire about me?"
Xiao Zhiyan shook his head.
Duan Zeming: "It's your steady personality!"
"Look at you. You are calm and composed in all the times we've known each other. I've never seen you lose your temper. You are so stable! You are a modern Capibala!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the open door, and a voice that Xiao Zhiyan was familiar with rang out:
"Excuse me, is this Director Yan Fengyan's office?"
