Chapter 103 The biological father comes to the door
The room returned to silence. Xu Jing took away her cell phone and prevented her from contacting the outside world. From the moment she woke up from the car accident until now, she had no idea how Zhou Jingyu was doing.
If she remembered correctly, the last thing she saw when she was unconscious after the car accident was Zhou Jingyu inside the deformed white SUV...
She could only try to get the advice from the nurse who checked on her and changed her dressings every day, but no matter how she tried, the nurse would only tell her that she was the only patient sent to the hospital after the car accident that day.
It seemed like they were all hallucinations she had before she fell into a coma.
——
Within two days, someone from the Zhou family came.
The legendary old lady Zhou came to Rongchuan from the capital in person under the escort of a special person.
There were guards outside the ward and no one came in. I heard that Xu Jing didn't let them in. Old Mrs. Zhou should be easy to talk to, so she didn't come in to disturb Chen Zan.
It was said that Mrs. Zhou must have met with Secretary Zhou Jingyu first, and then combined with what Gu Wenjun said about what he knew, Xu Jing and Chen Jiaohua finally knew the real reason.
It was because Chen Zan was sensible, obedient, liked to take care of everything on his own and not bring trouble to his family that he suffered a lot of grievances outside.
Mrs. Zhou felt guilty towards the Xu family, and it was unknown what terms the two families had negotiated behind closed doors. Before she was discharged from the hospital, her grandmother told her that Zhou Jingyu's transfer order was coming soon, and that he would no longer be involved with Chen Zan. They were no longer connected, and would have no further ties.
In addition, Old Lady Zhou also gave her compensation, and the house in Jing Mansion was also registered under Chen Zan's name.
Chen Zhan looked at Chen Jiaohua in shock, his lips trembling as he said, "Grandma... I... can't have it."
Chen Jiaohua knew what she meant and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, saying, "Keep it for now. When you finish your studies and come back and it really makes you sad to see it, and you don't want it anymore, just return it or donate it."
Chen Jiaohua was an experienced person, so she could see that her granddaughter was truly moved. Moreover, few people could resist a noble man like Zhou Jingyu, who would hold others in his heart and flatter them.
Xu Jing awkwardly pushed the wheelchair over, but she couldn't help but complain, "You're such a jerk. You never tell your family about anything. How would we know about the grievances you've suffered outside?"
Chen Zan drooped his eyelids and did not respond.
Chen Jiaohua scolded Xu Jing again, "Okay, that's because Zhanzhan is sensible and doesn't let us worry."
Xu Jing: "You mean you don't want us to worry?"
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel again, Director Gu pushed Chen Zhan out of the ward at the right time and said, "Actually, after your mother found out the truth, she has been blaming herself quite a bit. Her words were harsh, but they were for your own good."
Chen Zhan just said calmly: "I didn't notice."
I didn't seem to feel much remorse towards Ms. Xu. Maybe she just lost face.
Gu Wenjun smiled awkwardly, "You're recovering well. Go home and take good care of yourself. I'll come back in a month to remove the plaster."
Chen Zan hummed without any emotion.
The car was parked in the parking lot. The spot was tricky and the road was narrow, so he asked Xu Jing, Chen Zan and a group of people to wait at the door while he drove the car over.
Five minutes later, Director Gu's car came out. Xu Jing pushed Chen Zan over and wanted to put him in the car. Suddenly, several black cars surrounded them.
Chen Zan's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he subconsciously thought it was Zhou Jingyu. Xu Jing and the others also frowned and looked at the leading business car vigilantly.
The car door opened and Xie Xu, wearing frameless thin glasses, got out, followed by Xie Huaiqian.
When Chen Zan saw this, his calm expression rippled slightly. Xu Jing initially thought that she was seeing things, but when she really saw who it was, her whole body stiffened, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
Xie Xu's gentle eyes turned cold when he saw Gu Wenjun beside Xu Jing, and then fell on Chen Zan with a complicated look.
The eye contact at that moment was different from the last time in the capital. This time, the father and daughter understood each other clearly and knew who the other was.
Xie Huaiqian stepped forward and said respectfully, "Ms. Xu, my fourth uncle wants to talk to you about something."
Then he looked at Chen Zan and thought to himself, what a coincidence things are in this world.
I didn’t think Chen Zan looked like my Fourth Uncle before, but now, his cold and beautiful features are exactly the same as my Fourth Uncle’s when he’s angry.
Xu Jing said sternly with a pale face, "There's nothing to talk about. Get out of here."
Xie Huaiqian was used to her attitude. It wasn't much better last time in Qingshan. He turned around to see Xie Xu.
Chen Jiaohua had never seen a photo of Xie Xu, and even when she went to Beijing to look for Xie Xu, she was stopped by Xu Jing.
Just as she was wondering, Xie Xu came over and said, "Hello, Aunt Xu, I'm Xie Xu, Xu Jing's ex-boyfriend from college."
Chen Jiaohua immediately realized who he was and said coldly, "I don't know you. Please don't block our way home."
As he said that, he asked Gu Wenjun to help Chen Zhan into the car. Xie Xu looked quietly at the embarrassed woman who wanted to escape, "Xu Jing, don't you need to give me an explanation for what happened with Chen Zhan?"
Gu Wenjun frowned and said, "Mr. Xie, twenty years have passed. Xiaojing has no obligation to explain to you."
Xie Xu looked at her back and finally smiled coldly, "Okay, since you don't want to talk, then I'll take Chen Zan away."
As expected, he still knew how to control this woman. Xu Jing's face immediately changed, "Xie Xu, how dare you!!"
Xie Xu smiled but didn't smile: "You can try."
They had already wasted some time at the exit of the hospital parking lot, causing a traffic jam. The security personnel wanted to come and drive them away, but seeing that Xie Xu and his group looked like they were not easy to deal with, they did not dare to come forward. Passersby and patients in the hospital all stretched their heads out to watch the fun.
Finally, Xu Jing agreed to talk to Xie Xu and went to Jiang Yushan’s private club. It seemed that those people from Beijing all liked to come here.
Gu Wenjun wanted to accompany Xu Jing because it was Xu Jing's request. Xie Xu agreed after a moment of silence.
Chen Jiaohua and Chen Zan were arranged to drink tea in another room. The old man looked worried. Chen Zan had a car accident, and now Xie Xu came to visit again. One thing after another, Chen Jiaohua felt that this year would not be peaceful either. She still had to go to Qingshan to burn incense in person in a few days.
Chen Zan didn't say a word from beginning to end and drank his tea calmly.
It was precisely this calmness that made Chen Jiaohua even more worried, "Zhanzhan, do you know who that person is?"
Chen Zhan raised his eyelids to look at her. Now there was nothing to hide. "I know Director Xie from the Policy Planning Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a friend of Brother Zhou Jingyu. We met during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Jiaohua didn't know that Chen Zhan had gone to the capital for the New Year. She just knew that Xie Xu had been to Rongchuan before and had met Chen Zhan by chance. She said, "No wonder he would come to her house."
"Then you also know that he is you..."
She hesitated to speak.
Chen Zhan naturally took over the conversation, "I know, he was the one who abandoned Ms. Xu and married into the family, right?"
Chen Jiaohua didn't expect that she could be so patient. Except for the day when she woke up from the car accident, the little girl shed two tears. She was like this for the whole week, so calm that it was inexplicably heartbreaking.
She sighed, "I failed to protect your mother back then, and now I haven't protected you either, and I've even implicated you."
Chen Zhan shook his head. "Grandma, I did it willingly, and I'm sure Mom does too. We never blame our family."
