Chapter 56 Add Him Back
Just as I was staring at the villa at home, I suddenly saw a person appear on the balcony on the second floor. It was my mother.
She was standing alone on the balcony, not knowing what she was thinking. I couldn't see her expression clearly, but I could feel that she was in a low mood at the moment.
"Happy birthday, Mom." I said softly, regretting that I didn't dare and couldn't get out of the car and say it to her in person.
I felt a little uncomfortable, and my eyes were uncontrollably sore. If I could do it all over again, I would never choose Shen Yixiao.
After staying for a while, I drove to leave. At a corner, I saw Aunt Yang. She was holding something in her hand, walking unsteadily, and looked a little abnormal.
Out of concern, I got out of the car to check on her, but before I reached her, she suddenly fell down and lost consciousness.
"Auntie Yang!" I was so nervous that I rushed over and tried to help her up.
I didn't know what was going on with her, so I could only dial 120 immediately. Fortunately, the nearby hospital was not far away and the police responded quickly, so Aunt Yang was sent to the hospital soon.
She had no family members with her, so I had to stay with her.
After a series of rescue and examinations, I learned that Aunt Yang had heart disease. Since Xu Zhengnan's father passed away, she has been living alone in the villa and couldn't sleep every day, which could easily increase the burden on her heart.
"Xiaoyue, thank you." Aunt Yang thanked me weakly, "Tonight is your mother's birthday. I went to buy her favorite raspberry cake, but I didn't expect that I would collapse on the roadside and lose consciousness before I got to your house. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead."
"Auntie Yang, you will live a long life. Just take good care of your health." I comforted her.
Aunt Yang sighed, "My health is getting worse day by day. Zhengnan said he would arrange a nanny to stay at home, but I am not used to living with strangers."
Speaking of Xu Zhengnan, don’t you know that his social engagements are over? Aunt Yang has to be told about this situation.
Aunt Yang is the typical parent who only reports good news and not bad news. She called 120 herself but was still unwilling to call Xu Zhengnan.
I had no choice but to ask Lian Qingqing: Are you and Xu Zhengnan still together?
Lian Qingqing: No, we spent half a day at the racecourse in the afternoon, and then went home after dinner. What happened?
Me: Nothing.
I scrolled through the chat history in the class group until I came across Xu Zhengnan’s profile picture, and then added him as a friend. To my surprise, there was no need for verification and it was approved directly.
This surprised me a bit. He is a hot financial investor now, and many headhunters should contact him. Shouldn’t his contact information be more secretive?
Looking at the chat box, I hesitated to send a message.
I thought Xu Zhengnan was so busy with his work that he wouldn't notice that I added him, let alone look at his phone all the time.
Xu Zhengnan:?
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the question mark he sent me.
It was like going back to many years ago, when I had not reviewed my lessons well, but was about to face the most important placement test. I was afraid that there would be a bunch of questions that I wouldn’t be able to answer, and I was very nervous and anxious.
I replied: Aunt Yang is feeling heart distress and is in the hospital. Do you want to come over?
Xu Zhengnan: Which hospital? I'll be right there.
After I sent him the location, I waited with Aunt Yang at ease. People like to reminisce about the past when they get older. She mentioned my and Xu Zhengnan’s childhood from time to time, with a smile on her face.
The more she talked, the more blocked my heart became, and I even began to forget when I fell in love with Shen Yixiao and distanced myself from Xu Zhengnan.
Since I was a child, I have always liked to stick to Xu Zhengnan. I think he is the best-looking and most outstanding boy.
Maybe it was because he never responded to me clearly, so I gradually felt that I couldn't catch up with him, and Shen Yixiao was a completely different person from us. The different world was full of unknown new things, and I unconsciously began to be attracted to it.
While we were chatting, Xu Zhengnan had already arrived at the hospital.
"Mom, how are you?" He strode to Aunt Yang's bedside and asked about the situation.
I stood up and moved aside tactfully.
Aunt Yang didn't expect Xu Zhengnan to come. She looked at me in surprise and realized that it must be me who said it.
She shook her head. "I'm fine. Luckily I met Xiaoyue and she took me to the hospital. Otherwise, if I collapsed on the side of the road, I might have really had a big problem."
Xu Zhengnan then turned around and looked at me, his eyes relaxed for a rare moment, "Thank you."
I quickly waved my hands, "It's okay."
Aunt Yang has already settled down and needs to stay in the hospital for a few days. It’s impossible for me to sleep in the hospital, so she asked Xu Zhengnan to take me away.
When I came here, I came directly in an ambulance. To go back, I have to take a taxi or ask the driver to pick me up. Xu Zhengnan offered to take me back directly.
"No thanks!" I answered hastily, as if I was very reluctant to let him deliver it.
"Are you afraid that Shen Yixiao will see it?" Xu Zhengnan stood at the door of the hospital. The lights in the hall inside the door enveloped him from behind, blurring his face.
Even so, his superior facial features are still very clear, and people passing by us can't help but take a second look at him.
I felt embarrassed when he guessed my thoughts. I smiled and said, "No, I just don't think it's necessary to go to such trouble. You just need to stay with Aunt Yang in the hospital."
"Whatever you want." He said this with a chill in his voice, then turned around and went back to the hospital.
I looked at his back and felt a little uncomfortable.
——
After taking a taxi home, Shen Yixiao had not returned yet.
He said he would come home after get off work to have dinner with me, but he never came back and didn't even call or send me a message.
I also didn't wait for him at home. At this moment, the balance suddenly seemed to be balanced.
At this time, I received a call from Sun Xiaoling.
"Li Yue, are you busy?" Sun Xiaoling's voice was choked with sobs, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
"No hurry, Sister Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?" I asked worriedly.
Sun Xiaoling invited me out for a drink. We were only semi-acquainted, but we got along very well on the show. Out of politeness and concern, I agreed to go.
After arriving at the agreed location, I met Sun Xiaoling. Her face was flushed, as if she had drunk a lot of alcohol.
This is a small bag for two people, perfect for chatting.
After I sat down, Sun Xiaoling looked at me with a bitter smile, "Li Yue, I'm so sorry, our relationship is not yet at the point where we can confide in each other, but you are the only person I can think of, maybe you can understand me..."
Later Sun Xiaoling told me that she and her husband were really going to divorce.
"I gave up my job at the peak of my career and was willing to stay at home to take care of my husband and children, giving him all my resources. He was just a small-time actor on the set at that time, and I never thought that one day he would gain fame and fortune. Men will change when they have money, right?"
"Why can I accompany him through the lows, but he can't love me wholeheartedly?"
