Song Xuanhe looked at the call interface for a while, until the call was about to be automatically hung up, his finger hovered on the answer button, but even with his finger hovering, he did not press it.
Two seconds later, the ringing stopped.
He moved his thumb away, pursed his lips and looked at the phone. After waiting for five minutes, there was no next call. Song Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief, not sure whether he was disappointed or relieved. He turned off the phone and lay back on the bed.
[Why don’t you answer the boss’ call?] 】The system asked.
[Is this a necessary plot?] Song Xuanhe knew that the system would ask more questions, so his tone was very calm when answering.
The system was stunned for a moment, then said: [No. 】
[Since it is not, then this is not the responsibility of your system. 】After Song Xuanhe finished speaking, he closed his eyes, grabbed the quilt under him and rolled over, then hugged the quilt and pressed it under his legs, getting into a posture ready to fall asleep.
The system was monitoring Xiao Yuanmu, who was sitting on the bench in the hospital with an abnormally calm expression. Seeing Song Xuanhe's obvious unwillingness to say more and thinking of his seemingly bad mood just now, the system retracted the doubts and reminders that were on the tip of its tongue. There was nothing abnormal in the data and nothing was scanned. Maybe it was wrong.
It was another weekend, and Song Xuanhe finally had dinner with Guan Zhi, but Wei Chen was also there.
While sitting at the dinner table, Song Xuanhe felt dazed when he looked at Wei Chen and Guan Zhi sitting opposite him. Two-sevenths of Xiao Yuanmu's future suitors were sitting opposite him and eating together.
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Chen was very perceptive. He felt it as soon as Song Xuanhe's gaze passed by him. He didn't know why, although Song Xuanhe's expression when looking at him was normal, he always felt that something was wrong.
Song Xuanhe was caught secretly, but he didn't feel guilty at all. He leaned back and said, "I didn't expect you and Guan Zhi were brothers."
"Cousins." Guan Zhi, who was looking at the menu, raised his head and said, "But my mom and his mom are half-sisters, so we don't see each other very often."
Guan Zhi's words clearly distanced himself from Wei Chen. Song Xuanhe couldn't help but look at Wei Chen's expression. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he didn't hear Guan Zhi's words at all. But when he saw Song Xuanhe looking at him, he nodded lightly: "He's right."
These seemed to be a pair of cousins who were not very close to each other and even somewhat disliked each other. No wonder their relationship was never mentioned in the book, and the two of them didn't seem like they liked to mention it.
Thinking of Wei Chen's nonchalant attitude when he introduced Guan Zhi last time, as well as the secretly surprised expressions of the people around him, especially Zhou Nan, Song Xuanhe knew the reason.
Guan Zhi ordered the dishes and handed the menu to the waiter before looking up and saying, "Song Xuanhe, have you ever tried Liangbei's millet fish? The meat is very tender and very suitable for making fish fillets."
Song Xuanhe had actually eaten it. He saw it on the Internet at that time, so he directly sent people to airlift this fish back from Liangbei. The taste of the fish made by Xiao Yuanmu was better than all the fish he had ever eaten.
"I've eaten it. I made boiled fish fillet." Thinking of the taste, Song Xuanhe unconsciously pursed his lips and said, "It's fresh and delicious."
"You actually used millet to make boiled fish fillet?" Guan Zhi's eyes widened and he said, "If those chefs were here, they would definitely scold you for wasting food."
"As long as it tastes good." Song Xuanhe couldn't help but think of the many dishes cooked by Xiao Yuanmu because of the boiled fish fillet. He didn't think about it until now, but now that he thought about it, his mouth was watering. When he thought that he would not be able to eat Xiao Yuanmu's cooking again in a short time, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I think Xuanhe is right." Wei Chen smiled, his tone clear and a bit ruffian: "As long as it's ingredients, what matters is that they taste delicious. There's no need to be so particular."
Song Xuanhe glanced at Wei Chen who interrupted him and did not respond to him. Guan Zhi also ignored him. The two continued to talk about other dishes. Wei Chen sat aside and did not feel awkward at all. He felt very comfortable and relaxed.
After dinner, Wei Chen asked, "You said before that you wanted to get Professor Li's information for Qian Ping. Have you already done so?"
Song Xuanhe suddenly remembered this and shook his head, "My uncle is attending a secret seminar abroad recently, and his communication tools are very limited. I plan to wait for him to come back and ask him."
Wei Chen nodded, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Why are you not interested in medical robots?"
Song Xuanhe raised his eyes and saw that although Wei Chen had a smile on his face, there was no trace of smile in his eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked back, "Why should I be interested?"
"I don't believe you can't see the future development prospects of the robotics industry." Wei Chen took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Or do you think being the second in command at Song's company is enough?"
"Of course not." Song Xuanhe sat up straight with a serious expression. Seeing that Wei Chen and Guan Zhi were looking at him, he sneered and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I don't even want to be the second-in-command. My family has enough money for me to squander my whole life. Why should I care so much?"
"So you are so confident in handing the Song family over to your eldest brother?" Wei Chen's expression was calm and indifferent, and his clear tone did not sound like he was trying to sow discord behind his back: "Do you think Song Xuanlin will be a good brother who takes care of his younger brother?"
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Wei Chen to suddenly mention Song Xuanlin.
"Your good brother seems to be getting a little close to your good cousin recently." Wei Chen smiled with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said, "I heard that your cousin was cheated by his partner and was forced to resign. Now your brother seems to have given him some money to do something."
Song Xuan was stunned. He had indeed never heard of this matter. After reminding Guo Tao before, he had not paid any more attention to Song Jiabao's affairs. He did not expect that Guo Tao would be so efficient and kicked Song Jiabao out of the company right now.
Wei Chen did not say much, but Song Xuanhe knew what he meant. Song Jiabao was kicked out of the company and forced to resign, and he would definitely blame him for this. Song Xuanlin clearly knew that his brother and cousin did not have a harmonious relationship, and it was unlikely that he did not know that Song Xuanhe had given him face at Song Jiabao's opening reception, but he still cooperated with his cousin. The reason for this is questionable.
"You followed Guan Zhi here today just to say these things?" Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.
Hearing this, Guan Zhi snorted coldly and said, "He insisted on following me, and said that he was worried that I would be deceived by you when I just came of age."
Song Xuanhe looked at Wei Chen, only to see that he had an indifferent expression. When he met his gaze, he even curled his lower lip, as if to let him think whatever he wanted.
"Do you have time this afternoon?" Guan Zhi glanced at Wei Chen coldly before saying to Song Xuanhe, "I heard that there is a shop in the alley in the capital that sells very delicious pastries. Take me there."
Before Song Xuanhe could say no, his cell phone rang.
Zhang Chao's voice came from the other end: "Young Master, keep an eye on the people at the hospital and tell me that the man from last time is here again."
"Has he been admitted to the ward?" Song Xuanhe's eyebrows twitched slightly. The director rescued the patient in time last time, so there was no problem. He guessed that the person behind it might not give up. He didn't expect that it had only been a few days and the person had passed away again.
What kind of hatred or grudge is this that would cause someone to not stop until he kills someone?
"No, the person who just entered the hospital reported it to me." Zhang Chao said, "Do you need me to go over and take a look?"
Song Xuanhe frowned. Xiao Yuanmu was not working today, so he would probably go straight to the hospital. Besides, he had met Zhang Chao before, and it would not be good if they ran into him in broad daylight.
"No, just have that person keep a close eye on him and kick him out of the ward if necessary."
"Yes." Zhang Chao responded. A ring sounded from the other end. He said, "There's another message from the other end. Should I keep talking?"
"Okay, you answer it." Song Xuan met Guan Zhi's eyes, who had been looking at this side. Guan Zhi immediately looked away the next moment and turned his head to look out the window.
Song Xuanhe withdrew his gaze and heard Zhang Chao say a few words. Then he said to him in a serious tone, "Mr. Song, we were watching the people at the hospital and they were arrested."
Song Xuanhe was stunned and spoke faster: "What do you mean?"
"Not only our people, but also the person who entered the ward was arrested." Zhang Chao said: "Moreover, Mr. Xiao showed up, and he brought people with him. Our people can't leave for the time being."
Song Xuanhe took a few seconds to digest this matter, and then said: "That person is not from the Song family, right?"
"No, it's someone I found outside, and he doesn't know who you and I are."
Song Xuanhe pursed his lips. Even so, he believed that with Xiao Yuanmu's means, it would be very easy to find out the identity of that person.
"Okay, I get it." Song Xuanhe had an idea in his mind and said lightly: "Don't worry about it, I have a plan."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xuanhe said to Guan Zhi: "Sorry, I suddenly have something urgent to do. I will explore the alley with you next time when I have time."
Guan Zhi knew something must have happened to Song Xuanhe the moment he saw his face. However, thinking about what happened last time, he and Song Xuanhe were not close enough to meddle in other people's business, so he just nodded and said, "If you have anything, you can come to me."
Song Xuanhe nodded, then nodded to Wei Chen before saying goodbye and leaving.
After leaving the restaurant, he drove directly to the hospital where the dean worked.
When he reached the door of the ward, he stopped and wanted to turn around and leave, but he still put his hand on the door handle and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, the dean was not in the ward. There were four people inside. In addition to Xiao Yuanmu, there were two strange men and a woman. The woman lowered her head and her face could not be seen clearly.
When Xiao Yuanmu saw Song Xuanhe coming over, he said calmly, "You're here."
Seeing Xiao Yuanmu's expression without any surprise, Song Xuanhe knew that he had guessed correctly. He would let the people who were watching this place contact Zhang Chao, which actually meant that he already knew this person's identity. Although he didn't know how Xiao Yuanmu, who had few connections, knew it, this incident allowed Song Xuanhe to have a deeper understanding of Xiao Yuanmu's abilities.
"You knew I was coming?" Song Xuanhe walked to the side and sat down. He glanced at the woman who had never looked up and felt that her figure looked strangely familiar.
Seeing that Song Xuanhe's eyes were always on the woman next to him, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flashed with coldness, and his voice became a little colder: "Why do you send people to watch this place every day? What is your purpose?"
"I said it was to ensure the safety of the dean, do you believe it?" Song Xuanhe said with a smile on his lips, not afraid at all.
Xiao Yuanmu carefully examined his eyes, but didn't find anything in them. He looked away and asked, "Did you transfer the money before?"
"Yes." The reason why Song Xuanhe came here with such a big fanfare was because he had an absolute trump card, which was the money transferred by Assistant Zhang. Since Xiao Yuanmu asked someone to call the person behind the scenes, he must have guessed that he was the one behind the scenes and the one who gave the money, so he answered very readily.
"Why?" Xiao Yuanmu's eyes were deep and his voice was cold, without commenting.
"Why did you send me the money? Or why did I reject you before sending me the money?" Song Xuanhe crossed his arms and said slowly, "I sent you the money because it's a life. I'm not that cruel. I rejected you because I just wanted to reject you. There's no reason."
Xiao Yuanmu didn't say anything, but the man standing next to him frowned. Even the woman who hadn't looked up looked over.
When Song Xuanhe saw that familiar face, he was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he felt that it was very normal for her to do such a thing. There were only a few people who wanted to destroy the relationship between him and Xiao Yuanmu and at the same time couldn't bear to see them doing well. Yang Ran was definitely one of them.
"It's you?" Even though he had figured out the trick, Song Xuanhe still raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you don't like Xiao Yuanmu, why did you attack the dean?"
Yang Ran had a pale face. Seeing his careless expression, he bit his lower lip and said, "It's because I like him that I don't want him to go astray. That's why I want someone to take good care of him!"
"He is with me, how did he go astray?" Song Xuanhe blinked, his expression full of innocence.
"He doesn't like you at all! You forced him to do that!" Yang Ran said bitterly, "You used the welfare home to force him to be with you. Now that the director knows about it, she won't agree to you two being together anymore!"
Song Xuanhe turned away with a lack of interest, looked at Xiao Yuanmu and said, "Since you have caught the murderer, you can release my people now."
"I'm not the murderer!" Yang Ran screamed, "You are the murderer! If it weren't for you, the dean wouldn't be angry at all!"
Song Xuanhe's expression was slightly cold. After seeing Yang Ran, he didn't want to create any more trouble. In addition to not wanting to arouse Xiao Yuanmu's suspicion, he also felt that Yang Ran was probably deceived by someone, otherwise he would not do such a thing.
But seeing her hysterical look, Song Xuanhe thought it would be better to make things clear.
"How much money did Song Jiabao give you?" Song Xuanhe raised his hand and interrupted Yang Ran's scream before asking.
Yang Ran's eyes suddenly shrank, and then he pretended to be calm and asked: "What do you mean, what Song Jiabao?"
"Before I came here, I had already checked your transfer records." Song Xuanhe curled his lips and said, "You are attempting murder. That money will become evidence of your crime. Are you sure you don't want to tell me, but plan to tell the police?"
"What did you say?" Yang Ran's face turned pale, but he did not compromise: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Song Xuanhe sneered and said, "I thought you loved Xiao Yuanmu very much. For such a small amount of money, you are willing to harm the person you love and the most important person to you. Your love is really cheap."
"What do you know!" Hearing Song Xuanhe's ridicule, Yang Ran said sharply: "What do you, a young master, know! I have lost my love and my career. I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. Just because I offended you, I can't stay in the capital. Since he doesn't like me, why should I care about him? Besides, if I can make you break up and make you suffer, and I can also make a fortune, why shouldn't I want it!"
After Yang Ran finished speaking, she felt an extremely cold gaze falling on her, which suddenly shook her originally excited emotions, and her rationality that had been lost after the stimulation gradually returned.
"So you did take Song Jiabao's money?" Song Xuanhe was just guessing at first, but he didn't expect that Yang Ran would be so easily angered without even asking any questions, and confirmed his guess in just a moment.
Yang Ran bit her lip and did not answer. She lowered her head and trembled a little. She didn't know why, after seeing Xiao Yuanmu this time, she not only did not have the previous mixed feelings of love and hate, but she was a little afraid of him.
Obviously Xiao Yuanmu was no different from before, but she just felt that something was a little different.
The gaze from behind was like a sharp sword, piercing her whole body and making her tremble with coldness. Yang Ran really wanted to turn around and look at Xiao Yuanmu, and wanted to explain something, but under such a gaze, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Is everything clear now?" Song Xuanhe looked at Xiao Yuanmu and said, "I sent someone to keep an eye on this place because I heard that Song Jiabao was making some movements, and they were heading towards the hospital. At that time, I thought that the dean might be here, so I sent someone to keep an eye on it just in case. Can you let my people go now?"
Xiao Yuanmu remained silent, with his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking.
Song Xuanhe was not in a hurry either, his eyes fell on the young man standing next to Xiao Yuanmu.
The man looked young and had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were clear and there seemed to be a subtle hint of gratitude in his gaze as he looked at Xiao Yuanmu.
"Who is this?" Song Xuanhe suddenly remembered that they were currently a couple, and asked Xiao Yuanmu while glancing at him.
"A friend." Xiao Yuanmu answered quickly this time, but he had no intention of introducing this friend.
However, Song Xuanhe didn't care. He just asked casually to fit in with his and Xiao Yuanmu's current relationship.
However, Song Xiuhe, who had never been in a relationship, had never thought that the conversation between the two of them just now, although not tit-for-tat, was not at all intimate, and they did not look like a couple at all.
But even if Song Xuanhe thought about it, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he and Xiao Yuanmu were just pretending to be a couple who were reluctant to do so. It would be strange if there was really a couple atmosphere between them.
Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Song Xuanhe's indifferent expression, then said to the man next to him: "Call the police and say it's attempted murder."
Yang Ran looked up suddenly. She never expected that the person who called the police to arrest him was not Song Xuanhe, but Xiao Yuanmu.
"You want to arrest me?" Yang Ran said in disbelief, "I like you so much, and you actually called the police to arrest me? The dean is fine, why are you arresting me!"
Xiao Yuanmu didn't even spare her a glance and nodded to the man who picked up the phone. The police arrived quickly and took Yang Ran away soon. The person who called the police also went to make a statement.
As soon as the police left, only Song Xuanhe, Xiao Yuanmu and the man who had been helping to keep an eye on them were left in the ward.
The man who had not spoken a word glanced between Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu, and finally asked Xiao Yuanmu cautiously: "Can I leave now?"
Xiao Yuanmu nodded indifferently, and the man opened the door of the ward and left.
Seeing that the man weighed the pros and cons and didn't care about him as the boss at all, and actually asked Xiao Yuanmu and quickly slipped away, Song Xuanhe looked at the closed door for two seconds, then he cursed inwardly, stood up, and prepared to leave.
He slipped away so quickly without even taking his boss with him. If this happened in the revolutionary era, he would be considered a traitor!
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Yuanmu sat down, looking up at Song Xuanhe slightly, but his aura did not seem weak at all.
"Go back." Song Xuanhe said lightly: "I also have a dinner appointment."
"It seems that you have been having a good time recently." Xiao Yuanmu looked at him calmly and said slowly, "Since you don't need me as a boyfriend, why don't you break up?"
Song Xuanhe paused as she was about to raise her foot, looked down at him and said, "If I want to break up, then we can break up. If I don't want to, then we can not break up. It is not your decision whether to break up or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuanmu suddenly stand up and walk towards him step by step.
Song Xuanhe suppressed the urge to take a step back, and looked at him with his chin raised without showing any sign of weakness.
Xiao Yuanmu lowered his head slightly, his nose almost touching his nose, and said in a clear voice with a hint of coolness: "In this case, how about we do something that couples should do?"
Meeting Xiao Yuanmu's dark and unfathomable eyes, Song Xuan's pupils were shocked, and he almost subconsciously wanted to step back, but Xiao Yuanmu stretched out his hand to hold his waist, just staring at his eyes without blinking, and slowly approached.
Click——
The sound of the door unlocking was heard, and a nurse appeared at the door pushing an old man. When they saw the two people hugging each other, they were both startled.
"Yuanmu?" The dean looked at Song Xuanhe, who was held in Xiao Yuanmu's arms and could only see his back, and asked hesitantly: "Is this Mr. Song?"
Xiao Yuanmu stepped back slightly and turned Song Xuanhe around, but he did not loosen his arms around Song Xuanhe and said to the dean, "Yes, it's him."
The dean took a look at the two people's postures, and his eyes fell on Song Xuan and his red ears. His originally gloomy mood instantly improved a little, and he smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Song who is here, why don't you welcome me?"
Song Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wanted to tear away Xiao Yuanmu's hand that was wrapped around his waist, he still endured it and smiled at the dean, "I'm sorry I didn't come to see you because I was busy before."
"It's okay, it's okay." The dean looked at him with a smile and said, "As long as you young people didn't quarrel, it's fine. Couples need to trust each other when they are together. Don't let others provoke a relationship."
Song Xuanhe was slightly stunned, and then she realized that the dean might have misunderstood that Yang Ran had come to her in order to sow discord between them. But this was also a good thing, and there was no need to explain.
Xiao Yuanmu thought so too. He raised his lips slightly, glanced at Song Xuanhe, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, the two of us will definitely trust each other."
