Chapter 284 Mommy, Shuangshuang is too embarrassed to go back
The moment Zhou Shuang saw the dagger, she fell down limply.
Fortunately, Qi Huaijing supported her in time. As early as when Qian Ning drew his knife, Qi Huaijing had already grabbed his wrist, snatched the knife away and stabbed it directly into the wall behind his ear. The force was so strong that only half of the handle was exposed.
Qian Ning was originally drunk and now he was completely awakened by the shock.
At this time, someone called the security personnel over, and the restaurant manager also rushed over after hearing the sound. Seeing this situation, he immediately asked someone to come forward.
"Mr. Qi——"
Qian Ning was completely dumbfounded. He was just trying to save face in a hurry at the time and had no real intention of hurting anyone. Especially when he saw Zhou Shuang fainted, he couldn't help but say, "I didn't touch her. Shuangshuang——"
Qian Ning didn't go too far with Zhou Shuang. It was just a man's pride and possessiveness that were at work.
"Take Mr. Qian away. As for assaulting someone with a weapon, you should explain everything to the judicial authorities."
Qi Huaijing picked up Zhou Shuang and walked out. Wang Yu followed while making a phone call to deal with Qian Ning. The colleagues in the game department witnessed their boss Qi carrying the person away, and they were all mostly sober.
Whether he was seeing things or was dazzled, President Qi personally took Zhou Shuang away.
Qian Ning was also taken away by the police.
Before he left, he did not forget to watch Zhou Shuang being carried into the car by Qi Huaijing, his face full of guilt.
"How is Zhou Shuang?"
Qian Ning looked at Wang Yu who was walking towards him. Wang Yu rubbed his wrist and punched Qian Ning in the face.
Then, when he was holding his nose, he leaned forward and said, "Mr. Qi said he was the one giving you his regards on behalf of Miss Zhou."
The policemen who were escorting Qian Ning looked elsewhere, as if they saw and heard nothing.
The unlucky Qian Ning pointed at Wang Yu with blood flowing out from between his fingers.
"Just wait for me."
Wang Yu snorted coldly: "We can talk about it later when you can come out."
Zhou Shuang was sent to the hospital, and Qi Huaijing watched her suffer from nightmares all night long.
Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead and he was talking nonsense.
"No, don't kill Mommy, don't kill Daddy, Aunt Wenxin, don't—"
She sobbed like a cat, and Qi Huaijing tried calling her name but couldn't wake her from her dream.
"Is there any way to ease her pain?"
Qi Huaijing stayed with Zhou Shuang until late at night. He originally wanted to send her over for a checkup and let the nurse stay there if she was okay, but her condition seemed to be worse than he had imagined.
The doctor was helpless and could only tell the truth.
"Mr. Qi, we are emergency room doctors. Miss Zhou's condition is likely related to her own psychology. We recommend that she be transferred to a psychiatric department for examination."
The doctor said it very bluntly. Having nightmares and not being able to get over them is, to some extent, a mental illness, but it is not known whether this is occasional or regular.
"knew."
Qi Huaijing sat next to her, and Zhou Shuang suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it."
She would repeat the word "I'm sorry" every time. Qi Huaijing reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead and patted her face gently.
However, her originally rosy and eye-catching face turned pale, her pretty eyebrows tightened, and her whole body was trembling.
Qi Huaijing held her hand and sat beside her.
"Daddy, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
She kept repeating it, Qi Huaijing leaned close to her ear and gently stroked her head, like coaxing a child.
"Shuangshuang, be good. I don't blame you."
The six words were low and firm, but Qi Huaijing's words miraculously calmed Zhou Shuang down.
He stared at her pretty face with his thick brows furrowed.
The affairs of the Zhou family in Haicheng are no secret. The fact that the president of Zhou Group neglected his wife for Bai Yueguang and gave his biological daughter to that woman, which led to divorce, has long been a topic of conversation among everyone.
Many people blamed and criticized the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, the girl in front of them who was full of energy just a few hours ago.
She said that if she hadn't been obsessed with her father's mistress, her parents wouldn't have divorced. In the end, her father became a vegetable in order to save her, and her younger brothers and sisters lost their father, and their happy family was shattered.
Qi Huaijing had heard this story a long time ago, and he even wanted to thank the little girl he had never met. If the Zhou family had not encountered such a big change, there would be no glory for the Qi family in Rongcheng today. I am afraid that they would have been swallowed up by the ambitious man Zhou Yanli long ago.
He stared at Zhou Shuang's face and watched her turn slightly and hug his arms tightly in her arms. She was completely different from the person who had just been tortured to the point of unbearable pain.
She quieted down, pressed her cold face against the back of his warm hand, rubbed it unconsciously, and murmured to herself like a very well-behaved little pet.
"Daddy, Daddy, Shuangshuang didn't mean it. Shuangshuang doesn't want Aunt Wen anymore."
That Aunt Wen is probably the warm girl known to everyone in Haicheng.
He is a real figure as he almost destroyed a business tycoon who was very powerful more than ten years ago with his own efforts. Unfortunately, he played a good hand of cards badly. If he didn't use such despicable means, he could still make a small name for himself in the business world.
Now he has become a speck of dust in the sea of people and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Qi Huaijing didn't say anything else and let her use his hand as a pillow. His action greatly soothed Zhou Shuang's emotions. In the second half of the night, she no longer tossed and turned in pain, but fell asleep obediently.
Qi Huaijing let her hold his hand all night long. Even when he felt his limbs were numb, Qi Huaijing did not frown.
Early in the morning, Zhou Shuang woke up and found herself in the hospital, with Qi Luoyan standing in front of the bed.
"Oh my god, Shuangshuang, you finally woke up. I was scared to death."
Seeing Zhou Shuang staring at her with misty eyes, Qi Luoyan almost hugged her and cried.
Zhou Shuang slowly recalled what happened last night. She remembered that she was drunk and was blocked by Qian Ning. He wanted to be indecent with her, and then Qi Huaijing came.
Then she saw the dagger and seemed to faint. Zhou Shuang had no recollection of what happened after that.
"Why am I here?"
She wanted to know if it was the hospital Qi Huaijing had sent her to, but he was not there.
"I don't know either. Wang Yu told me, so I rushed over to see you."
Zhou Shuang nodded, so it was either Qi Huaijing or Wang Yu who sent her here last night. She suddenly thought of something and looked at Qi Luoyan: "You didn't tell your aunt, did you?"
Mrs. Qi is a warm and loving woman, and Zhou Shuang is afraid that she will worry.
Qi Luoyan shook her head and said, "I rushed to the drama theater for rehearsal this morning and haven't told you yet."
"Then don't tell me, it's not a big deal. I just fainted from low blood sugar."
She only knew that after that incident, she couldn't stand anything that could endanger human life. Especially the sight of blood. That incident was like a thorn buried deep in her heart, and whenever it touched her, she would lose control.
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay."
Wang Yu was standing at the door. Seeing two girls chatting, he knocked on the door gently to interrupt them.
"The doctor said it's nothing serious. Ms. Zhou can stay in the hospital for observation or be discharged immediately."
Everything is done according to her wishes.
"Shuangshuang, are you sure it's just hypoglycemia? It's not a big deal, uncle. Just take a few days off. Your health is more important."
"I'm fine. I don't need to be hospitalized."
She knew very well that this was an old problem, but she didn't know if she had done anything out of the ordinary since coming to the hospital.
"You brought me here yesterday?"
Zhou Shuang asked Wang Yu for confirmation. Wang Yu wanted to smile, but when he saw Qi Luoyan staring at him hungrily, he couldn't help but restrain the smile on his face and became a little gentler.
Qi Luoyan couldn't help but roll his eyes and cursed secretly: "You little bastard."
“…”
Wang Yu had no intention of hiding anything, nor did he receive any instructions from President Qi not to tell the truth, so he certainly didn't dare to take credit for it.
"Boss Qi sent you here."
really--
Zhou Shuang could vaguely think of something, especially in the second half of the night, as if she had returned to her childhood, with Zhou Yanli always accompanying her, stroking her head and coaxing her to sleep.
But she knew this was impossible, and her biggest wish in life was for her daddy to wake up.
But the feeling yesterday was so real, so real that it seemed as if someone really had been with her all night.
She was just guessing, and didn't dare to be sure or ask more questions, for fear that if the truth came out, she wouldn't know how to face it in the future.
"Frost, Frost?"
Qi Luoyan called Zhou Shuang several times before she came back to her senses.
“Oh. What did you say?”
She was distracted and didn't hear clearly what Qi Luoyan said.
"What are you thinking? I've been talking to you for a long time but you're still ignoring me. Forget it, since you're a patient, I won't bother with you. Why don't you just move back to my place? I'm scared to death."
Zhou Shuang naturally wouldn't agree. Qi Luoyan was quick-witted and didn't want to trouble them too much.
Fortunately, Qi Luoyan also knew what Zhou Shuang was thinking. He chatted for a few words, but when he saw that she didn't respond, he let it go.
Wang Yu completed the discharge procedures for her and parked the car in the hospital parking space. When he saw her and Qi Luoyan coming out, he parked the car in front of them.
"Miss Qi, shall I take you back first?"
Wang Yu used a rising tone but an affirmative tone.
Qi Luoyan seemed to be going against him: "Why did you send me back first and not Shuangshuang? She is not feeling well and should go back to rest early."
Wang Yu had a headache. Every time he met this young lady, no matter how smart and capable he was, he would be speechless because of her mouth. He didn't dare to make up a story to say back, otherwise he would be disturbed all the way and would have to feel her vague rolling eyes from time to time.
He always felt that he had offended Miss Qi somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had done wrong.
"Shuangshuang, let Assistant Wang take you home first. Aren't you still rehearsing for the play? Staying out for too long won't affect your progress. I'm fine, and if your aunt calls you and finds you're not here, she'll be worried again."
Only if Mrs. Qi moves out will Qi Luoyan be less willful.
Qi Luoyan listened obediently, and Wang Yu felt like he had escaped a disaster, sweating profusely.
It was still early, so Qi Luoyan returned to the drama club to continue rehearsing the drama, while Wang Yu sent Zhou Shuang back to Qi Huaijing's villa.
Zhou Shuang went to the room, changed her clothes and took a shower. When she got into bed, she smelled the scent of sunshine.
Compared to the smell of medicine in the hospital, the air in the room with a faint floral scent is indeed refreshing.
She stared at the ceiling, her mind racing like a revolving lantern.
The cell phone was right next to her, and for the first time, she called Lin Shu.
Lin Shu looked at Zhou Shuang's nickname on the screen and was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xuan was playing the violin in front of her. Afraid that the noise would affect her phone call, Lin Shu got up and went to the flower garden outside.
She looked at the screen of her phone, still a little bit unable to believe that Shuangshuang would call her at this time.
With trembling hands, she unlocked the screen: "Mommy, I'm Shuangshuang——"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Shuang's voice was choked with sobs.
Lin Shu was very sensitive and intuitively felt that something had happened to Zhou Shuang.
"What's wrong, Shuangbao? Is there something wrong?"
The word "Shuangbao" made Zhou Shuang lose her temper. She suppressed her emotions desperately and tried not to cry out loud.
Lin Shu couldn't hear any sound on the other end of the phone and suspected that the line was disconnected.
Until Zhou Shuang spoke to her again in a normal voice.
"I'm fine. I'm doing well in Rongcheng. I've made friends and found a good job. Mommy, you don't have to worry about me. I just want to say that I miss you and Daddy so much."
Zhou Shuang said all these words in one breath and then put the phone away. She was afraid that her mother would hear that she was crying.
Lin Shu held the phone for a long moment. After a while, she said tearfully, "Shuangshuang, come home after you've relaxed. Daddy hasn't seen you in a long time. Mommy, Auntie, Grandma, and Chenxuan and Chenyi all miss you, especially Xuanxuan, who keeps asking when my sister will be back."
The person Lin Shu is most worried about is Zhou Shuang. This child's mind is the most unpredictable. She has the calmness of Zhou Yanli and the sensibility of Lin Shu.
As a child, she was lively and active, very opinionated, and had a clear distinction between love and hate. Even if she was wrong, she was determined to stick to her own ideas. Now, she still has her own opinions, but she chooses to avoid them.
Lin Shu didn't know what to do with her, so he just held Zhou Shuang carefully in his hands, letting her do whatever she wanted and never blaming her.
The thing that made Zhou Shuang the least worrying over the years was that she never gave Lin Shu any worries, whether in life or study, and she was also very kind to her younger brothers and sisters.
She saw everything Zhou Shuang did. If she were a normal child, this would be considered very sensible, but Lin Shu did not like to see Shuangshuang like this.
Because after she turned six, everything she did seemed like atonement, which was too cruel for a child. No one would blame a child of a few years old for an unintentional mistake, and Lin Shu certainly wouldn't.
However, as a mother, she could never resolve her daughter's emotional knot.
She wanted to tell Shuangshuang that no one blamed her and that it was not her fault.
If we must define the lives of Lin Shu and Zhou Yanli, we can use the word "fate" to explain it.
"I may still have a few months. Is Xuanxuan here?"
Lin Shu wiped away his tears gently: "Yes, she's practicing the piano. I'll go call her."
"No, Mommy, I'll bring them gifts when I get back. I have something else to do here, so I'll hang up now."
She quickly hung up the phone, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken chain.
"Mommy, Shuangshuang can't go back. Shuangshuang is too embarrassed to go back."
"If you miss home, just go visit. Why do you have no face?"
At the door of the room, a tall man was looking at Zhou Shuang.
His eyebrows and eyes were cold, but his originally sharp features were actually tinged with tenderness. Zhou Shuang was startled, tears still hanging on her face. She met Qi Huaijing's gaze, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
When did he come and how much did he hear?
