Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Next time if you need this kind of thing, let me know in advance...
Shao Jiayan was extremely afraid of needles, and the previous intramuscular injection had already made him collapse. Now that Mr. Si was gone, Dr. Lin was really worried that if he had another attack of the disease, she and the female nurses would not be able to hold him down.
Fortunately, after Shao Jiayan had the fever-reducing injection, his mind returned to normal and he became a rational adult. So even though he was afraid of needles, he still did his best to cooperate when the nurse drew his blood.
With Si Yizhi's financial ability, the medical staff around Shao Jiayan are all highly professional.
Shao Jiayan only felt a slight chill on his arm and it was over without any pain.
Of course, this may also be because some big shot has felt the pain for him.
"We will send the blood back to the hospital for analysis, and the results will be available in about an hour." Based on Si Yizhi's description and Shao Jiayan's current performance, Doctor Lin judged that he probably just had a common cold.
If the blood test results show no major problems, just two more days of IV drip will be enough.
Shao Jiayan sincerely thanked the medical staff, watched them leave, and then collapsed on the bed with a dull look in his eyes.
My mind is full of: Ah~destruction!
Due to some unexpected factors, it was already after 12 noon when Si Yizhi arrived at the Si family's old house.
Old Lady Si believed in ghosts and gods when she got older. Although Old Master Si asked her to keep her funeral low-key, she felt guilty and spent a lot of money to hire a famous Feng Shui master to calculate every detail of the funeral. Even the time for the banquet today was calculated by the master.
"This is outrageous! Today is your grandfather's wedding banquet, and you, the eldest grandson, are so late!"
The old lady was wearing a black silk gown with gold embroidery today. If she hadn't been feeling weak, she would have raised her cane and tapped her boss a few times to show her respect.
Bai Weiwei, who was standing by, also didn't look very good.
No matter what deep hatred Si Yizhi had with the Si family, after all, Old Man Si was his grandfather who always loved him. It was unreasonable to come so late on such an important day for the old man.
Without Shao Jiayan around today, Si Yizhi just started saying whatever he wanted.
"Late? Wasn't the banquet notified to start at 12:32? It's only 12:01 now. How am I late?"
Si Yiran, who had just returned from receiving guests, heard him say this and said in dissatisfaction, "Brother, it's okay for other guests to check out the place, but you are my grandfather's grandson!"
Si Yizhi glanced at him and said, "I am a guest too. Besides, I didn't go to the store."
His words made the faces of the three members of the Si family look very ugly for a moment.
If it weren't for the special circumstances today, Si Yiran really wanted to have a big fight with him and talk about what filial piety is.
But later on, Si Yizi's attitude was completely like "coming to visit".
Most of the guests who came to the banquet had heard about the past affairs of the Si family, and when they saw Si Yizhi's attitude, they understood a little more.
Si Yizhi followed the Si family's old housekeeper and was arranged to sit at the host's table.
The Wen family, who would be his future in-laws, sat next to him.
As Si Yiran's fiancé, Wen Kefan had to show off in front of his future parents-in-law. He helped Si Yiran receive the guests and was very busy.
Wen Yan, on the other hand, sat firmly at the main table with her parents, but was a little surprised to see Si Yizhi, who arrived late and looked more like a guest than herself.
"Brother Si, have you just arrived? Don't you need help in receiving the guests?" Wen Yan only returns to the Wen family every two years and doesn't know much about the Si family's affairs.
When he asked this question, Si Yizhi was fine, but the expressions of the Wen couple changed.
Si Yizhi smiled and said, "Master Wen may not know that I was kicked out of my home when I was eighteen. Now I am a guest just like you."
His words were blunt and impolite, making the faces of the Wen couple beside him even uglier.
In particular, he added at the end, "In the past, the Si family and the Wen family were neighbors and had a close relationship. Your parents know the Si family's affairs best. If Master Wen has any questions, you might as well ask your parents first."
Wen Yan was a smart man. After seeing the unhappy looks on his parents' faces, he shut up and stopped asking questions.
Throughout the rest of the banquet, Si Yizhi behaved politely and distantly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to cut ties with the Si family.
If a general enterprise has such a succession dispute, it is very likely that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to poach employees, but the semi-state-owned Si family does not have such concerns. They have the support of the state, so even if the Si family quits, the state should take over.
It is precisely this nature of Sishi that makes it extremely stable, but it also means that this company is destined to be free of moral flaws.
After the banquet, Si Yizhi was stopped by the Si family again as expected, saying that they had something to discuss.
Si Yizhi, who had not had a good rest last night and was worried about his assistant Niu Ma, wanted to refuse, but was stopped by two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits.
Judging from Si Rong’s attitude, the identities of these two people must be extraordinary.
"Yizhi, I know you have resentment towards me, but grandpa treats you very well!" Si Rong looked as if he was disappointed in his grandson.
Si Yizhi was in no mood to cooperate with his performance, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm still busy."
"What are you busy with? Is there anything more important than your grandfather's business?!" Si Rong scolded.
The two middle-aged men also looked serious. "Young Master Si, we are from the XX department. This time, in addition to seeing the old man off, we also want to talk to you about Si's shares."
"There's nothing to talk about." Even though the other party brought up his identity, Si Yizhi still had no intention of sitting down and talking with them. "I stood in the mourning hall for a full twelve hours yesterday. I don't think there was anything wrong with what I did. Besides, the shares of Si's were left to me by my grandfather, and I don't plan to sell them for the time being."
He glanced at Si Rong and said, "I went to see Uncle Xu when I returned to Beijing this time. My mother's mental condition has improved, and Uncle Xu and I decided to re-investigate the incident of my mother's poisoning."
The two men in Zhongshan suits looked at Si Rong suspiciously, then at Si Yizhi, "Hasn't the person who instigated you to poison your mother been sentenced? Calculating the date, she should have been released from prison."
The case of a son poisoning his own mother caused a sensation in the circle at that time.
Although Si Yizhi was young at the time, due to the special identity of the victim, he has been labeled as an ungrateful person since he was a child.
Si Yizhi smiled and said, "It's been more than 20 years. I believe that the injustice done to us mother and son will be washed away one day."
The two men in Zhongshan suits at the back did not insist on discussing the share issue with Si Yizhi. They discussed it in a low voice and then left in a hurry. This time Si Rong did not have the face to stop them. After all, he knew better than anyone what happened back then.
After all the guests had left and Si Yizhi and the people from the XX department had left, Bai Weiwei grabbed Si Rong.
"What the hell is going on with Si Yizhi's case? Didn't you tell me that your previous secretary did it?!" Bai Weiwei was furious.
If Si Yizhi's biological mother's poisoning was related to Si Rong, then even if their Si family had serious moral flaws, would the people in the ministry still allow the Si family to continue to control the company?
Si Rong swore and guaranteed, insisting that he had nothing to do with his ex-wife's poisoning.
"His mother and I were in a free love relationship and had a solid emotional foundation. Even if I was blinded by greed and had an affair outside, I wouldn't have killed her, okay!"
But Bai Weiwei was not stupid. She guessed that what Si Yizhizi said must be true based on the look on Si Rong's face.
"Okay, if you won't tell me the truth, then let's get a divorce. I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess with your Si family!"
After being scolded by his wife, Si Rong had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I really didn't know anything about the poisoning. I only found out about it when my dad intervened after the situation became unsolvable..."
In fact, according to Si Yizhi's original plan, he actually wanted to have a quarrel with Si Rong today.
But when Shao Jiayan was not around, he always felt empty. When he thought of Assistant Niu Ma's flushed face and broken eyes when he left, he was so anxious that he wanted to go back and check on him.
As soon as the car started, he couldn't wait to call Dr. Lin.
After getting the answer that it was just a simple cold, Si Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He urged the driver to drive faster, and they arrived in less than 30 minutes on a 40-minute journey.
A strange emotion that had never appeared before made Si Yizhi feel uneasy.
"Mr. Si is back." At this time, Dr. Lin and the others had already left, and Shao Jiayan had continued to catch up on his sleep after the drip.
At this time, there was a burst of fragrance in the house, obviously my aunt was making soup in the kitchen.
"You're back so early. I haven't cooked the soup yet." Auntie looked in the direction of the guest room and whispered, "Assistant Shao only drank a bowl of porridge at noon and went to bed after the injection. Call him after dinner."
Auntie understood immediately after what happened this morning. How could she not understand it as she has been through it? Not only did Assistant Shao live in Mr. Si's house, but she also wore Mr. Si's pajamas when she slept. When she was cleaning the house in the afternoon, she found some paper balls that looked like... in the trash can in the master bedroom.
After hearing what his aunt said, Si Yizhi finally calmed down.
Yes, Shao Jiayan had a high fever and needed to rest. Seeing that it was still early, Si Yizhi simply went to the study to handle official business.
It’s just that he, who used to be able to easily immerse himself in work, was really not in good shape today.
I originally wanted to make some coffee, but as soon as I stood up, I remembered my situation and gave up the plan.
Looking at the snowflakes floating outside the window again, Si Yizhi felt a little confused.
He and Shao Jiayan tacitly did not mention what happened last night during the day. But not talking about it does not mean that the incident did not exist.
They are all men in their twenties, full of vigor and vitality. If the problem of empathy is not solved, it means that such things will happen again in the future.
For normal young men, doing this once or twice a week is normal and good for the body.
But when he thought of the other party's clumsy techniques and the rubbing that covered his whole body last night, Si Yizhi took a deep breath and forced himself not to think about it anymore.
Shao Jiayan didn't actually sleep deeply.
Although the high fever had subsided, the low fever and headache still made him sleep uneasy. In fact, he was already awake when Si Yizhi returned to the room, but he just lay in bed and was too lazy to move.
It was not until it was completely dark and his aunt knocked on the door and called him to eat that he thought: [It has come to this, let’s eat first.]
Because Shao Jiayan was ill, and Mr. Si gave special instructions, tonight's meal was very sumptuous.
Looking at the table full of birds and animals, Shao Jiayan really wanted to have a big meal if he wasn't feeling unwell.
"I asked your aunt to prepare this specially for you. Please eat more." Si Yizhi looked normal, and it was hard to tell how much trouble this guy had been last night.
Shao Jiayan nodded briefly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
He ate very slowly today, and maybe it was because he was not feeling well, but his fair cheeks always had a beautiful blush.
Si Yizhi resisted the urge to look a few more times and just lowered his head to eat in silence.
The meal ended in silence between the two of them, and neither of them spoke a word tacitly.
Originally, Shao Jiayan thought that the matter could be brushed aside, but he never expected that Mr. Si, who was always serious and responsible in his work, was not someone who would avoid problems.
"After you finish eating, go back to your room and rest. I'll come over later and tell you something." The man's voice was low, but it gave the illusion that he was gentler than usual.
Shao Jiayan lowered his head and said "hmm", then went back to his room obediently to wait for Mr. Si's arrival.
While waiting, he thought a lot.
[Mr. Si, what are you going to tell me later? Is it about what happened at Si's house today, or...what happened last night? ]
[Hiss~ My butt hurts so much. It was fine before I fell asleep this morning. What’s going on? ]
What he didn't know was that Mr. Si in the opposite room didn't have anything to do. He was just writing and drawing in his notebook, as if he was preparing a draft for the conversation that was about to take place.
After making sure that all the questions were recorded, Si Yizhi knocked on Assistant Shao's door with trepidation.
Pressing the sick assistant to the bed, Si Yizhi sat beside his bed and said, "I'm sorry about your illness."
Although on the surface it seemed that Shao Jiayan had a cold and fever, due to empathy, the person who was actually sick should be Si Yizhi.
"I had to stay in shape at the funeral home yesterday, so I gave you my coat." Therefore, Si Yizhi was frozen for a long time at the funeral home yesterday. "You went too far last night... I took a long cold shower in the bathroom."
Shao Jiayan couldn't hold it in any longer, and cursed in his heart: [What do you mean I went too far? I stopped, and I didn't touch myself at all. It was obviously you who kept doing it! ]
Si Yizhi felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.
Although Shao Jiayan didn't take any action the next few times, he was rubbing against others all over, making himself uncomfortable.
"Anyway, I won't take cold showers in this situation anymore." Si Yizhi turned his head away and said the solution he had been thinking about for a long time, "Next time you have this need, tell me in advance and I'll take care of it."
