After seeing the message, they both looked up at the same time.
When their eyes met, the answer was revealed in their expressions.
"Mr. Zhang wants to sign a contract with Tong Xin?" Qi Yu used Xu Liang's body, but displayed his unique coldness.
Xu Liang thought for a moment and handed the phone over.
If the contract really needs to be signed, Qi Yu has to go and telling him is the best option.
Xu Liang saw a gloomy look on his face, but the light in the room quickly swept it away. Qi Yu handed the phone back to her.
"I can negotiate for you, but I have one condition."
Xu Liang's eyes moved: "What?"
The clear voice was a mixture of their two characteristics. Qi Yu looked at her straight in the eye with a somewhat serious expression.
"I need to know all your ideas and plans regarding the acquisition of Yikang, as well as everything that happens with Yikang afterwards."
Xu Liang was a little hesitant.
However, Qi Yu did not give her much time to think. He turned sideways and walked towards the door, his tone becoming a little more relaxed:
"It's okay if I don't know. Then Mr. Xu can go and talk to him himself."
“…”
It seemed like she was given a choice, but in reality she had no choice.
Xu Liang secretly gritted his teeth, suppressed the surging energy in his heart, and calmed him down first.
"Let me think about it. Let's go to the hospital first."
She forced a faint smile on his face. Qi Yu stared at her for two seconds, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally agreed to her wishes.
-
The old man was temporarily admitted to the geriatric department of the hospital. The hospital was unable to contact his family and had contacted the police. According to the investigation, the old man was actually a widower.
The old man's son and wife both died of family hereditary heart disease in their early years, and his daughter-in-law died of childbirth complications. He only has a granddaughter named Lin Cheng.
Not long after the granddaughter started working, she sent the elderly woman to Yikan Nursing Home because she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and had no one to take care of her. She would visit her every week.
Unfortunately, Lin Cheng disappeared a year ago and there has been no news of him since then.
The old man has woken up now, but his physical symptoms have not improved and his dementia is severe. Later, his condition improved and he was discharged from the hospital. The hospital could only contact relevant social welfare agencies to accommodate him.
That was all the doctor told Heo Kyung.
Xu Liang and Qi Yu stood outside the ward and did not rush in.
The old woman was sitting on the hospital bed. The nurse had just given her an IV. She looked out the window blankly and seemed to be muttering something.
Xu Liang frowned slowly, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart.
The nurse came out quickly and saw the two people waiting at the door. She leaned over slightly and said, "The old lady has calmed down now. You can go in and see her."
Xu Liang nodded and walked into the ward.
She walked quickly up to the old man with a concerned look in her eyes.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?"
The old man's eyes were blank. He obviously didn't recognize the person in front of him, nor could he understand what he said.
She blinked blankly without any response.
Qi Yu followed Xu Liang and approached slowly. He looked at the person on the hospital bed and did not enter her field of vision. He stood with his hands behind his back, hiding the bracelet that originally belonged to Xu Liang's wrist.
The old man didn't answer, so Xu Liang didn't ask any further.
She peeled a few orange slices and put them in the old man's hand. The old man was finally moved and murmured to himself: "Acheng...Acheng..."
Then he ate the orange.
It turned out that the Acheng the old woman was talking about was her granddaughter. Xu Liang thought about last night and was worried that the old woman would lose control of her emotions, so she didn't respond and peeled two more orange slices for her.
Qi Yu watched silently from the side, and only after confirming that the old man was emotionally stable did he walk over to Xu Liang.
However, when the old man saw the body he was currently occupying, his expression suddenly changed and he threw the orange in his hand away.
The old woman's breathing was rapid, and there was a hint of anger in her cloudy pupils. She pointed at Qi Yu: "You...you..."
Xu Liang quickly stood up and stood in front of Qi Yu, trying to divert the old man's attention, but the old man stared at Qi Yu and tried to pull Xu Liang away.
"You go out first." Xu Liang turned his head and whispered.
Qi Yu walked out of the ward behind Xu Liang.
Even without the stimulus, the old man's emotions were still not calm, and he kept repeating: "Tong Xin, she is Tong Xin's... She is an accomplice! She is an accomplice!"
Xu Liang had no choice but to calm the old woman down. She gently comforted her, "Grandma, she's not Tong Xin's. She's just one of my assistants. We're from another nursing home and came here specifically to see you."
I don’t know if the old man understood, but he was so calm that he didn’t get angry. Under the effect of the medicine, he gradually calmed down.
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he just quietly accompanied the old man.
Not long after, the nurse came into the ward again and said she wanted to take the old man for a check-up, and then Xu Kyung came out of the ward.
Qi Yu was still waiting for her at the door.
Xu Liang gave him a conflicted look before finally giving in. "I can agree to your conditions regarding Yikang, but you have to arrange for this grandmother to live in your retirement community, hire a dedicated caregiver, and not use your machines."
Qi Yu was obviously hesitant, his face cold.
"Mr. Xu, the smart community is no worse than your nursing home."
Xu Liang wanted to argue, but she knew that her grandmother would be upset if she saw her body, so she had no way of taking her grandmother back to Tong Xin and could only settle her down with Qi Yu.
She threatened, "If you don't want to, then Yikang's affairs have nothing to do with you. At worst, I'll talk to the vice president. As for your company, you can manage it yourself."
After a moment, she saw that the side of her cheek was pushed up, and her almond-shaped eyes were half-closed.
Qi Yu sneered and said, "It's still President Xu who knows how to do business."
Xu Ying pretended not to understand his sarcasm and pursed his lips. “Thank you for the compliment. I’ll take this as Mr. Qi’s approval.”
After saying that, she patted his shoulder and walked forward slowly, pushing his long legs, with no intention of waiting for him.
“…”
Xu Liang went to the doctor's office to explain the situation and said that Yian Technology was willing to take in the elderly free of charge.
The doctor naturally had no objection and said that as long as the relevant qualification approval instructions were obtained, it would be sufficient.
On the way back, Qi Yu was still driving.
Xu Liang mentioned the old woman's words: "Grandma pointed at my body and said I was an accomplice. Was it just because she knew I was Tong Xin's? But she was not Tong Xin's patient before."
And what was said last night, Xu Liang was becoming more and more confused.
Qi Yu was silent for a moment when this was mentioned. After the car had driven a distance, he spoke again, "Maybe it's just the old woman's memory that's messed up. She was already traumatized last night and she also suffers from dementia, so her words are unclear."
"But she clearly knows Tong Xin and also knows my grandfather. How could it be that her memory is disordered?"
Xu Liang was very dissatisfied with Qi Yu's indifference and indifference.
"And the granddaughter she mentioned, what about not helping someone in need, what about being an accomplice? Don't you think all this is very wrong?"
Lin Cheng disappeared a year ago, and his grandparents also had a car accident a year ago. Xu Liang just felt it was weird.
It's as if there is some connection between the two things.
Qi Yu dismissed her doubts: "The police have already given a detailed investigation into Grandpa Xu's car accident. This old man is not among the people associated with Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu. You are clearly aware of this."
Xu Liang was choked by his words, but because of this, she felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head and glanced at Qi Yu, not wanting to say anything more——
Distant, cold, and calm.
He is always like this, no matter what he faces, no matter whether he is in her body or not, his temperament seems to never change.
She always looks the way she hates.
Xu Liang turned away, unwilling to even give him an extra glance.
The car fell into complete silence.
In the rearview mirror that Xu Liang couldn't see, the soul consciousness occupying her body controlled her eyes and slowly fell on the passenger seat.
After a moment, he turned around again.
…
This was Xu Liang's first time visiting Qi Yu's apartment.
Although her family and Qi Yu's family have known each other for a long time, and she and Qi Yu have been classmates for many years, she has hated Qi Yu for a long time.
When they were in school, they were top students in the class, but Qi Yu always found fault with her, saying that her way of solving problems was too complicated, but she thought his learning method was too tricky.
After work, he respected the supremacy of technology, while she felt that humanities were indispensable. He did not agree with her stubbornness, and she hated his coldness.
So Xu Liang usually only gives face to his parents and occasionally goes to his parents' house for a meal when invited.
What Xu Liang didn't expect was that this place was completely different from what she imagined. The room she woke up in this morning was at least normal and warm, but this place could be called a 'disaster' -
Exaggerated European embossed wallpaper, bright orange cabinets, fluorescent green loofah-shaped stools, and a yellow long table stand on the pink carpet, next to which is a light blue sofa.
Apart from a bunch of fairly normal smart furniture, ordinary tile floors and LED lights, Heo Kyung-jin was a little confused about what the decoration style was.
If the towel used in his car last night was placed in such an environment, it would not seem out of place at all.
Xu Liang was pulling the suitcase and was unable to step in.
"Come in, what's wrong?" Qi Yu urged behind her.
Xu Liang moved stiffly, finally getting over the hurdle in his heart and entering the house. He saw a bright yellow soft stool standing next to the purple shoe cabinet.
Being bombarded by so many bright colors at the same time, Xu Liang felt his eyes were a little sore.
Qi Yu was used to it. He took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and sat on the soft stool to change his shoes. He also reminded her: "There is still space on this side. You can put your shoes here."
Xu Liang looked at the room's decor with disdain, but couldn't help but speak up. "Boss Qi's decor is truly unique, a blend of technology and dopamine. Really thoughtful."
It completely overturned her stereotype that most technology personnel like black, white and gray.
However, Qi Yu didn't realize it was sarcasm and was even a little proud: "Smart furniture can bring a lot of convenience to life, and the bright and different colors can quickly change people's moods. This kind of decoration is the wisest choice."
Xu Liang chuckled twice, not trying to save his face.
"Mr. Qi, I now completely believe that you like to throw garbage into your head."
