Lei Yanchao shook his head. "It's not good. After all, his friend must be feeling bad because of such a big thing. Plus, it was his sister-in-law's decision not to call the police. I think she must feel guilty."
That's true.
Xia Zhichu is sensitive and takes his friends' affairs more seriously than his own. I'm afraid he will take all the blame on himself now.
Si Mochen was about to call her to comfort her when Lei Yanchao said, "There's one more thing. Your love rival has appeared."
The man's hand trembled and his expression turned ugly in an instant.
"What did you say?"
Lei Yanchao was very interested in this matter and talked about it. "The other party's name is Gu Bai. I have already helped you research the information. The third young master of the Gu family just returned to China a few days ago. He first met his sister-in-law at Miss Zhao's birthday party. The second time they met was because of a traffic accident. The perpetrator was also Miss Zhao. It seems that the appearance of the third young master Gu is still Miss Zhao's continuous matchmaking!"
Upon hearing this, Si Mochen frowned deeply.
Gu Bai.
He had investigated the man who sent Xia Zhichu to the hospital last time, so he naturally knew his background.
I didn't expect that my departure would give this person an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I've already sent the information to your phone, but Mr. Si, if you don't speed up, I think this Gu Bai will start pursuing my sister-in-law."
The moment he came face to face with Gu Bai, Lei Yanchao clearly sensed the other party's strong hostility. If he guessed correctly, the other party had mistaken him for a love rival.
Si Mochen frowned tightly. Although he already knew everything about Gu Bai, he still opened the information and browsed it again.
Finally, he asked in a cold voice, "Why did you run into Gu Bai today?"
Lei Yanchao said helplessly, "Gu Bai's car just happened to show up, and I had no choice but to ask him for help. If I had known he was your love rival, I would never let my sister-in-law be alone with him."
Si Mochen's eyes were fixed on Gu Bai's photo.
In fact, when they were young, the Si and Gu families had business dealings. Si Mochen had met Gu Bai a few times. At that time, Gu Bai was short and dark. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for so many years, he seemed to have been reborn.
But even if her appearance has changed, Xia Zhichu is his wife, and no one can covet her.
"I will handle the marriage as soon as possible. Please keep a close eye on Zhichu. Also, please report to me who she meets with throughout the day."
Lei Yanchao scratched his hair and said bitterly, "Master Si, I also have work to do. I can't just hang around your woman every day..."
Before he could finish, Si Mochen interrupted coldly, "If you still want Zhongcheng Group to firmly occupy the top position in the real estate market in Jincheng, then do as I say."
"Okay, I'll do it. I can do it."
Lei Yanchao's smile was uglier than crying. After all, Si Mochen was the major shareholder of Zhongcheng Group. If he got upset and withdrew his investment, why would he continue to run the company? He would just close it down.
Si Mochen didn't waste any time and quickly hung up the phone.
A text message just came in. He opened it and saw that it was from Xia Zhichu.
This woman had a habit of always worrying that making phone calls would disturb him at work, so every time she contacted him, she would always choose to send text messages.
"Are you busy?"
Three words, full of caution.
Si Mochen dialed her number without saying a word.
Xia Zhichu was standing in front of the ward with his chin resting on his head. When his cell phone rang, his first reaction was to switch it to silent mode.
When she saw it was Si Mochen calling, she got up and went to the balcony to answer it.
"I'm not busy."
As soon as the call was connected, Si Mochen's gentle and elegant voice, like a cello, came.
Xia Zhichu's breath hitched, and her whole heart began to tense up. She said, "Then... what are you doing?"
"When you sent me the message, Lei Yanchao just called and told me what happened today." Si Mochen was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the president's office at this moment, holding his mobile phone in one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket.
He is 1.9 meters tall and straight, with the sleeves of his black shirt rolled up to his elbows, making him look a little lazy.
Xia Zhichu actually guessed that Lei Yanchao would report it, but she didn't expect Si Mochen to call so soon. She was a little depressed at the moment. After all, Liu Jiajia had such a big thing happen, and it was difficult for her to shirk responsibility.
"Mr. Lei should have said that I was the one who initiated this matter and that it was my choice not to call the police that led to Jia Jia being insulted and abused by Lin Defa."
"Zhichu, you're right!" Si Mochen comforted her. "Calling the police would only further inflame Lin Defa and might even cause Lin Anan to get hurt. I think Liu Jiajia cares so much about her daughter that she would definitely be willing to bear it all herself and protect her daughter."
"But Lin Anan is Lin Defa's daughter after all. No matter how cruel he is, he would never kill his own flesh and blood." After the incident, Xia Zhichu reviewed the matter and felt that he had not considered it carefully enough.
In fact, think about it, no matter how cruel a person is, he would not harm his own daughter.
But she imagined Lin Defa as an unforgivable villain, so she did not dare to take the risk, which eventually led to Liu Jiajia's tragedy.
Si Mochen heard that her voice was slightly choked, and knew that she was in a bad mood and was definitely not feeling well at the moment.
When Xia Zhichu was most helpless, he could not be by her side to comfort her and could only express his concern through the cold microphone.
At this moment, Si Mochen's heart was filled with guilt.
"Where are you now?" His voice revealed a bit of dejection.
Xia Zhichu pursed her lips, looked back at Liu Jiajia lying on the hospital bed, and said, "Jiajia is in the hospital, I will stay to take care of her."
"Have you eaten?" Si Mochen lowered his eyes to check the time on his watch. It was already past noon.
Xia Zhichu was about to say she hadn't eaten, but she was afraid the man would worry, so she shook her head and said, "I ate it."
Although she said that, Si Mochen knew that she didn't eat. Something happened to Liu Jiajia, and Xia Zhichu put all the blame on herself, so she must not be in the mood to eat.
He told Xia Zhichu to wait a moment, then sent a text message to Yan Sen, asking him to send food to the hospital.
After everything was arranged, he said, "What happened to Liu Jiajia was an accident. Don't feel guilty. I don't think Liu Jiajia ever blames you."
"But I..."
Xia Zhichu was about to say something when she heard Liu Jiajia's voice behind her. She was overjoyed and quickly said to Si Mochen, "Jiajia seems to be awake. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up."
Si Mochen said OK, and then the phone was disconnected with a beep.
He looked at the rain still falling outside, his eyes extremely gloomy, and even at this moment he could hardly control his longing for Xia Zhichu.
He knew that impulse was the devil, but right now, he just wanted to see Xia Zhichu.
After all, the comfort over the phone is far less than a hug when two people meet.
