Chapter 272 The person I care about most is you
Shen Xiyi called several times in a row, but the sound of the phone being turned off always came from the other end.
Shen Xiyi's forehead ached from frowning, and the unresolved calls had made her fall into a state of suspicion.
She leaned against the window, breathing deeply and shallowly. She felt her heart was extremely uncomfortable, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain made her unable to breathe.
Liang Nian woke up in the early morning. The light in the ward was dim, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he could still see Shen Xiyi's divine eagle in front of the window.
"sister in law."
After countless memories flooded into Liang Nian's mind, her emotions came suddenly.
She didn't remember the specific details very well, but she remembered that Zhong Fangyuan took her back to the hotel.
She has no memory of what happened afterwards.
Shen Xiyi had been standing for so many hours that her legs were numb. She turned around slowly after hearing Liang Nian's voice.
"woke up?"
Liang Nian looked at Shen Xiyi with an apologetic look. She felt that she was extremely stupid. She was plotted against in Nancheng and let Zhong Fangyuan take her away in front of so many people.
She was in such a state when Zhong Fangyuan took her away that she couldn't explain herself even if she had a mouth full of words.
"Well, I know you are sick and I shouldn't disturb you." Liang Nian remembered that Liang Junchen had reminded himself not to disturb Shen Xiyi if nothing happened.
She is sick and her body needs rest.
But without Shen Xiyi, she would soon get into trouble, and it was such a troublesome thing.
She was wondering, what method could she use to shut them up?
"I just have a cold and a fever, it's not a serious illness that could kill me. Your brother is worrying about nothing. If he doesn't allow you to come, will you really not come?"
After Shen Xiyi said this, Liang Nian seemed to feel better. She supported herself and slowly sat up.
"But you still look a little pale. It's normal for my brother to worry about you." Liang Nian was thinking that Liang Junchen always cared about Shen Xiuyidou, which seemed to her to be an unattainable love.
Shen Xiyi was too lazy to talk to her about this, and she wouldn't understand even if she did.
"Xu Yuanmo should arrive in South City during the day today. From now on, your affairs will be taken over by Xu Yuanmo. What I can do for you is to find out who drugged you last night."
Shen Xiyi was really annoyed by this kind of trick. Don't those idiots know that these drugs are not only contraband, but can also be fatal if overdosed?
Liang Nian knew what Shen Xiyi said, and had already asked someone to investigate.
Those who gathered together last night were all socialites and daughters of wealthy families from the upper class. It was a conspiracy among young people, so it was not difficult to investigate.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Liang Nian didn't want Xu Yuanmo to meddle in her affairs, but seeing that Shen Xiyi seemed to have other concerns in this state, she really didn't want to bother him.
"As a family, why bother thanking me? If I need you in the future, just don't refuse."
Liang Nian was stunned. She really couldn't think of how she could help Shen Xiyi.
"Of course not. Being able to help my sister-in-law is a sign of my ability." Liang Nian said with a smile.
Shen Xiyi was still worried about the phone call he didn't make last night.
As soon as the sun rose, Lu Xue came with breakfast. Shen Xiyi ate a few bites and lost his appetite.
She stood up and went out. Lu Xue wanted to follow her but was stopped by Liang Nian.
"Sister Lu Xue, please stay here with me. I'm scared to be alone." Lu Xue: "I'm just outside the door. No one will come."
"I'm still scared." Liang Nian forcibly stopped Lu Xue.
Lu Xue frowned slightly, but stayed.
Shen Xiyi went to the more secluded stairwell to make a phone call.
This time the call was to Gong Ming. The call was connected very quickly and Gong Ming's attitude was much better this time.
"Sorry, I don't mean to disturb you, but I can't contact my senior brother. Does Brother Gong know where he is now?" Shen Xiyi spoke politely.
Gong Ming didn’t want to say it at first, but he heard a little anxiety in Shen Xiyi’s tone.
"Will Liang Junchen monitor your call?"
"Won't."
"Acheng's master was critically ill, so he went to Yuntai Temple. He turned off his phone after going up the mountain, saying he wanted to focus on taking care of his master."
Shen Xiyi's heart suddenly lifted up: "What did you say? Master is critically ill?"
"Old people don't have a fixed destiny when they get older, so don't take it too seriously." Gong Ming guessed that Shen Xiyi didn't know, so he could only comfort her.
"I understand. Thank you, Brother Gong."
"You're... welcome." Gong Ming wanted to say thank you to her.
Half of the funds that the Gong family is using to start over overseas are investments introduced by Shen Xiyi, so they started quickly and made profits quickly.
But before he could say thank you, Shen Xiyi hung up the phone anxiously.
Shen Xiyi sat on the steps of the stairwell, gently covering his heart.
No wonder Liang Junchen changed the security of Liang Garden just because she had a fever and a cold. He must have known that his master was critically ill a long time ago, and he actually unilaterally blocked all the news.
His desire for control never diminished because he cooperated with the treatment, but instead became stronger.
Whether it's schizophrenia or personality defects, there's no medicine that can cure him.
She didn't know how long she stayed in the stairwell. When she got up, her tears had dried. When she opened the door and came out, she found Lu Xue standing in front of her.
Shen Xiyi looked at her and felt a chill running up his spine.
"When were you here?"
“I just came over here, Professor Xu is here, so I came out…” Lu Xue saw Shen Xiyi’s vigilant eyes, and her speech gradually slowed down, and she continued, “I stood far away and didn’t hear anything, don’t worry, madam.”
Shen Xiyi's expression was colder than ever before, and she stared at Lu Xue for a long time.
"You are Liang Junchen's man. There is no reason to lie to him. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to keep your job."
Lu Xue: "Madam, I really didn't hear anything. I only heard your voice, but I didn't hear what you said."
Some things are best left unheard. After working in the Liang family for so many years, Lu Xue still has some common sense.
Seeing Lu Xue's confident answer, Shen Xiyi gradually retracted his gaze, and his tone gradually returned to his usual gentleness: "I'll go see Liang Nian, you go drive, and I'll come down when it's done."
Lu Xue nodded: "Okay."
Shen Xiyi returned to the ward, and Xu Yuanmo was already there.
"Professor Xu rushed back in such a hurry. Have you finished dealing with the things in the south?" Shen Xiyi's voice interrupted Xu Yuanmo's concern for Liang Nian.
Xu Yuanmo turned his head to look at Shen Xiyi who walked in from the door: "It's almost done, but I think the result may not be satisfactory."
It is impossible that Zhong Fangyuan did not receive any news in Nancheng and was still so calm, which means that he does not care much about the south, or that his base is not in South Asia at all.
Shen Xiyi was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions.
"Now that you're back, spend some quality time with Liang Nian. I've been tossing and turning all night and I'm very tired. I'm leaving first."
Xu Yuanmo looked at her quietly for a moment. Shen Xiyi really looked tired. Maybe she had just recovered from an illness and couldn't bear the tiredness.
"Thanks."
Shen Xiyi turned around and took a few steps, and heard Xu Yuanmo's thanks from behind him.
Shen Xiyi paused: "It's not that I need to thank you, but that Zhong Fangyuan really needs to be taught a lesson."
There are some things that would be better if Xu Yuanmo did them.
Liang Nian saw Shen Xiyi about to leave, and subconsciously wanted to call him, but Xu Yuanmo held his hand: "Can't you see that she is very tired?"
Liang Nian retracted his hand and moved to the other side of the bed.
To be honest, she was touched that Xu Yuanmo rushed back from South Asia, but she felt very uncomfortable because of what happened last night.
"My brother will help me deal with it when he comes back, so you don't need to..."
"Your brother is always around your sister-in-law. His heart and eyes are full of your sister-in-law. How much weight do your affairs have in his heart?"
Liang Nian hugged his knees and said, "Professor Xu, why are you doing this? Wasn't our previous relationship very good?"
"You want to give up on me so easily. I really doubt whether you ever really loved me."
Liang Nian couldn't help but look up at him: "Why not..."
Meeting the man's deep eyes, Liang Nian's voice stopped abruptly, and then he quickly turned away.
"Your Xu family is the one that cares most about face. My reputation was already bad, and now it's even worse. Breaking up with me will be beneficial to your Xu family."
Xu Yuanmo's face became increasingly gloomy. Liang Nian felt the air pressure around him drop, and his voice became increasingly weak.
Xu Yuanmo stood up, supported himself on the hospital bed with both hands, and slowly leaned down. Liang Nian turned his face away and didn't dare to look at him.
"The person the Xu family and I care about most is you."
