Chapter 688 The Rational Child
If Lin Bei had previously thought Sui Sui was just smart, now he genuinely felt that the child's IQ and EQ were a bit too high.
Is his intention really that obvious?
He never once suggested that he should speak.
"Aren't you afraid that the BOSS won't be able to hold on and something bad will happen?" Lin Bei asked.
“Everyone has to pay the price for the mistakes they made.” Sui Sui is a very rational person, or rather, most of his heart is with Jiang Ruan. “When I told him not to contact that aunt and to stay with Mommy, he didn’t listen.”
He would have spoken up for his father if his father had listened to advice.
But Dad didn't.
He got through those tough times with his mother.
He had never experienced hardship. After his mother took him away from the park, he only felt that the place he lived in was not as spacious as before and the environment was not as good as before, but in other matters, his mother treated him as well as before.
He was basically unaffected by their divorce.
But he occasionally woke up in the middle of the night and saw his mother working late into the night, and saw her tired and exhausted. During those days, his father never said a word that he was wrong.
He is a good father.
But... he's too obsessive.
"What if the BOSS..." Lin Bei didn't finish his sentence.
Sui Sui understood. His face was still like a child's, but his words were very clear: "If he really can't hold on, I will stay by his bedside for the last few months until he breathes his last."
He will love his father.
It will make him feel that his child cares about him.
But if Dad still insists on leaving because he can't hold on any longer, he won't force him to stay.
If Dad chose to leave, it must be because there was no motivation in this world to keep him alive. If that's the case, forcing him to stay would only make him suffer.
Lin Bei didn't know how he felt.
He just felt that Sui Sui was too rational.
He doesn't act like a child at all.
“Uncle Lin Bei,” Sui Sui said earnestly.
Lin Bei snapped out of his daze: "Hmm?"
Sui Sui's eyes were clear and bright, and her voice was childish yet solemn: "If... if one day Daddy's condition returns to what it was before Mommy called him, I hope you will call me."
He hadn't paid attention before, thinking that his father just needed to regulate his emotions.
The more he comes over, the more likely it is to increase his psychological burden.
But if only time was left, he couldn't care less about anything else.
"The boss won't let us tell," Lin Bei said.
"Please consider this a child's last request to fulfill his filial duty to his father." Sui Sui's words were sincere, her tone filled with genuine emotion.
Lin Bei looked at him.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
Many emotions flashed through Lin Bei's mind.
He finally agreed: "Okay."
Sui Sui nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Lin Bei felt a pang of resentment: "Why won't you put in a good word for the BOSS with your mother?"
“I have no right to do so,” Sui Sui said seriously. “If the harm were done to me, I could forgive Dad, but he hurt Mom. If I sided with Dad and tried to persuade Mom, it would be a second blow to Mom.”
During that period, apart from Aunt Su Zhu, Mommy was almost completely isolated and helpless.
He's just a child and can't help.
The only thing I can give my mother is emotional favoritism.
His favoritism towards his mother has always been there, and he will not take it back for any reason.
Moreover, this time it's only neutral...
"Miss Jiang is so lucky to have such a wonderful child," Lin Bei exclaimed.
Sui Sui said in a very serious tone, "Dad is happy too."
Lin Bei: "?"
Where is the boss's happiness?
Sui Sui deliberately lightened the mood: "I'm still so young, and I already know how to see him off when he dies."
Lin Bei: "..."
Lin Bei remained silent.
He suddenly wanted to tell the boss what he said and see how the boss would feel upon hearing it.
"Let's go back." Sui Sui thought about the piece of fruit her father had just eaten and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "I have something to talk to Dad about."
Lin Bei took him back to his residence.
At the same time.
On Huo Zhizhou's side.
Because of the fruit and the meal he had that evening, his already poor health started to react, and he vomited less than five minutes after Sui Sui and Lin Bei left.
My stomach feels very uncomfortable.
He is currently undergoing a medical examination.
“I usually vomit about half an hour after eating, why did it take more than an hour this time?” Jiang Yu asked. “I even took a car ride in between.”
"President Huo's willpower is amazing," the family doctor said, then added to Jiang Yu, "From now on, apart from the meals prepared by the nutritionist, try not to let the BOSS eat out, and don't eat the fruit from earlier either."
Jiang Yu subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.
To stop the boss from eating out, Miss Jiang would have to refuse to eat with him.
"I'm fine," Huo Zhizhou said.
“You wouldn’t be sweating so much if you were alright.” The family doctor didn’t hesitate to expose him. “If I’m not mistaken, you must have been feeling very uncomfortable in the car.”
Huo Zhizhou did not refute.
Jiang paused for a moment.
Only then did it dawn on him why, when returning from dinner, the BOSS could have chosen to ride alone with Miss Jiang and the young master, even though he had the option to do so.
Was he afraid they would notice something was amiss?
"Your body has just started to recover. If you continue like this, you'll be back to your old state in less than three days," the family doctor advised.
The body.
Losing money is easy; protecting it requires more time and patience.
"Have Sui Sui and the others returned yet?" Huo Zhizhou got off the hospital bed, his mind filled with Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui, and he didn't care about the doctor's instructions at all.
In his view.
If the conversation with Ruan Ruan goes well, he should be able to adjust on his own without the doctor's intervention. If the conversation with Ruan Ruan doesn't go well, no matter how much advice the doctor gives, he won't be able to survive physiologically.
Jiang Yu was about to send a message to Lin Bei.
Then he saw a message from Lin Bei on his phone: "Young Master is looking for the BOSS. Is the BOSS on the fourth floor? How much longer until he's finished?"
Jiang Yu: [Coming right away.]
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he told Huo Zhizhou about it.
The latter straightened his clothes, making sure that his appearance and attire were no different from before, before leaving the room and heading to the third floor. He had only taken a few steps out of the elevator when he saw Lin Bei and Sui Sui strolling in the corridor.
"Finished shopping?" Huo Zhizhou walked towards Sui Sui, his tone and expression similar to usual.
Sui Sui was about to speak.
I could smell a disinfectant odor.
He sniffed and stared at him with his round eyes.
Huo Zhizhou didn't think much of it and naturally asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why do you smell like disinfectant?" Sui Sui asked directly, without any intention of pretending not to know.
Huo Zhizhou took a sniff.
Is there?
He stared at her every year.
He wanted to see what excuse he would come up with next.
"It must have come from the gym on the basement level," Huo Zhizhou replied naturally, without the slightest hint of panic. "I just passed by there, and they were doing their routine disinfection."
Sui Sui: "Oh."
They're quite good at lying.
Huo Zhizhou pinched his cheek, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Oh, what? But you, have you been neglecting your exercise lately? You seem to have no strength at all."
