Chapter 285 Grandpa is seriously ill
Qi Huaijing brought her a glass of milk. Zhou Shuang put down her phone, her eyes still wary.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to laugh at you. Why don't you go home if you miss me?"
It can't be seen that this girl is much more sensible than Qi Luoyan, but she has stagnated in her feelings for her family.
Zhou Shuang's eyes instantly turned red, like a little girl whose thoughts were seen through.
"Didn't anyone tell you that eavesdropping is impolite?"
She looked like someone had caught her little secret, feeling embarrassed and angry, with a bit of exasperation in her tone, like a little wild cat showing its claws in anger, full of momentum but not much damage.
Perhaps because she felt more ashamed than angry, Zhou Shuang regretted what she said.
If it wasn't for Qi Huaijing yesterday, she would have been...
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone. And for what happened yesterday, thank you."
Zhou Shuang watched him enter the room, put down the milk in her hand, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Shouldn't someone like Qi Huaijing be the kind of person who is superior? But when he poured milk for her, she actually felt flattered.
Is it too late to say thank you now?
Qi Huaijing's deep voice sounded as mellow as red wine. Zhou Shuang apologized sincerely, but she didn't expect the other party to go too far. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Qi Huaijing just said this to her sarcastically and did not continue to embarrass her.
Zhou Shuang stood there, gently tugging at the corner of her clothes, with a hint of avoidance in her eyes, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
Qi Huaijing suddenly reached out his hand. She didn't know what he was going to do until he gently tucked the strand of hair that had fallen on the corner of her lips behind her ear.
As his fingers brushed her hairline, they accidentally touched the tip of her ear. A tingling sensation instantly passed through her body, and Qi Huaijing subconsciously retracted his hand.
Both of them were stunned at the same time.
Qi Huaijing withdrew his hand awkwardly, coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"Channing, have you talked to him?"
Zhou Shuang was still immersed in the unintentional touch between the two of them and was a little dazed. When he saved her, he was completely different from his usual indifference. He was so solemn and murderous that it seemed as if he could pull out the tendons and skin of a person.
She was wondering whether to tell the truth, but she had already told Qi Luoyan, and Qian Ning's attitude towards her in the restaurant could also be seen.
"Yeah. We dated for a few months, but nothing happened. We broke up, and I didn't expect to see you again yesterday."
She was still frightened when she thought about what happened yesterday. Later, Qi Huaijing came, and she didn't know how Qian Ning was doing.
"He was taken away by the police. He hasn't been sent to jail yet, but he will still be locked up for ten days or half a month. Let him learn his lesson."
Zhou Shuangdao was surprised. Qian Ning always acted like he could call the wind and rain in front of her, but Qi Huaijing actually let him stay in there for half a month. It was conceivable how big the gap in strength between the two was.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Qi Huaijing didn't continue to ask questions about this matter. He turned his attention to the milk and said, "Finish the milk and have a good rest. Don't go to the company for the next few days."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Shuang again: "I'll handle it with Vice President Chen, you don't have to worry about it."
Qi Huaijing left without staying any longer.
Zhou Shuang picked up the cup and found that the milk was warm. She took a sip and found that it was neither hot nor cold, just the right temperature.
After drinking a glass of milk, my eyes and face became hot.
Aside from her daddy when she was little, and her mommy, aunt, and grandmother, the Qi family was the first "outsider" she had ever met who treated her well.
She held the cup for a long time and had no intention of putting it down.
Not long after Zhou Shuang sat down, her cell phone rang.
It turned out to be her aunt’s grandmother calling, so she quickly picked up the phone.
"Shuangshuang, where are you? Grandpa is seriously ill. You'd better come back. I'm afraid this will be the last time we see each other."
Zhou Shuang was so shocked that she could hardly hold the phone.
Why didn’t her mommy tell her when she called her before?
"Where is Grandpa?"
Zhou Shuang's voice trembled, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Just sent to the hospital emergency room. Your mommy is already there. Shuangshuang, come back as soon as possible. I'm going there too. Let's not talk about it for now."
Lin Yueyun hung up the phone and took Chen Xuan and Chen Yi to the hospital to see Mr. Zhou.
The old man has been in good health these years, except for occasional headaches and fevers. His family doctor gives him a physical examination at a fixed time every month. Today, for some reason, he became short of breath after eating one more piece of cake. Fortunately, the housekeeper discovered it in time and rushed him to the hospital.
Old Master Zhou was also devastated after Zhou Yanli never woke up again. Every day he either tended flowers and plants in the old house, or asked Lin Shu to bring Zhou Shuang, Chen Xuan and Chen Yi to accompany him more often.
No one mentioned Zhou Yanli in front of the old man, knowing that he was sad.
If Zhou Yanli never wakes up, the old man will be no less heartbroken than seeing his loved one die young. You can imagine how sad he will be.
Zhou Shuang was extremely anxious after talking to Lin Yueyun on the phone. She didn't even care about her luggage and rushed out of Qi Huaijing's villa. She thought Qi Huaijing had returned to the company, but she didn't expect that he was still in the lobby.
Seeing her in a hurry, Qi Huaijing glanced at her calmly: "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to rest?"
"I want to go back to Haicheng. Grandpa is seriously ill."
At this time, Zhou Shuang didn't care whether Qi Huaijing would know her identity. Since Qi Luoyan said that the Qi family and the Zhou family had a feud, Zhou Shuang had suspected that Qi Huaijing might have guessed her identity, otherwise he wouldn't be looking at her so closely.
After all, how could a big CEO and the man at the helm be afraid that a young girl like me might do something bad to him, unless he thought I was a spy sent by his mortal enemy.
In fact, her meeting with the Qi family was an accidental encounter, without any purpose or deliberateness.
Qi Huaijing saw that her anxious expression didn't seem like she was lying, so he threw away the cigarette in his hand and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Shuang was slightly stunned, with a hint of disbelief in her expression.
Did he mean to go back to Haicheng with her?
"I know you are Zhou Yanli's daughter. Since your grandfather is seriously ill, it's okay for me to accompany you. I'm worried about you going back alone as a girl."
Zhou Shuang was not in the mood to think about Qi Huaijing's intentions at the moment. She was only thinking about her grandfather.
"what ever."
She held back her tears. Qi Huaijing had already called someone to park his private plane on the lawn in the yard and wait. Ten minutes later, Zhou Shuang heard a loud roar coming from afar.
"Anything you want to bring?"
Zhou Shuang shook her head. She already had clothes and other things at home. Now that she was going back to visit the patient, she was not in the mood to buy gifts for everyone.
"Then let's go."
He walked side by side with Zhou Shuang, accommodating her pace. When Zhou Shuang saw the plane, her eyes became red again.
"Grandpa, please don't be in any trouble. Shuangshuang is back."
