    Chapter 15

    As soon as Xu Xingxing arrived at the company, Chen Wanwan put the documents in her hand and walked to her side. Xu Xingxing sat on the seat and packed things while watching Chen Wanwan come over, Chen Wanwan's expression was not very good-looking.

    When she walked to Xu Xingxing's side, Chen Wanwan seemed to have finally found a vent. She folded her arms and leaned against Xu Xingxing's table, rolled her eyes and said, "Li Miaoxue is about to lie on top of Lao Huang."

    Following the direction of her line of sight, Xu Xingxing glanced lightly. Li Miaoxue and Huang Qiansong were laughing and saying something. In this weather, she still dresses very cool. The two snow-white thighs under the miniskirt are straight and long.

    As the head of the translation department, Huang Qiansong's work ability is beyond doubt, but there are indeed some problems in his style. He is a bit lustful, and heard that his last marriage was because he cheated on him.

    The relationship between Li Miaoxue and Huang Qiansong is quite ambiguous, but Li Miaoxue is also a person with some means, and is not too close to Huang Qiansong on weekdays. And today, as Chen Wanwan said, she is about to lie on top of him.

    Looking back, Xu Xingxing asked softly, "Are they together?"

    "I don't know." Chen Wanwan said angrily, then sneered, looked down at Xu Xingxing, and said a little: "Master Zhong probably won't be back this time, and the position of deputy team leader is vacant."

    She raised her head and glanced at Chen Wanwan. Although she was trying her best to suppress her, she could see the anxiety in her eyes.

    Chen Wanwan and Li Miaoxue are from the same batch of translation department. Compared with Li Miaoxue's both sides, Chen Wanwan pays more attention to work ability. In the translation department, Chen Wanwan is conscientious and conscientious, and her work ability is also one of the best. Zhong Yujun left, and according to their seniority, the two were strong competitors.

    Chen Wanwan pinched her fingers, the veins and knuckles on the back of her hands protruding. Xu Xingxing held her hand, Chen Wanwan looked down at her, Xu Xingxing said.

    "After get off work today, let's go see Lord Zhong together."

    Chen Wanwan's eyes trembled slightly, she nodded and said, "Okay."

    When it was time for get off work, Chen Wanwan called her home and said she would be back later, so she went to the hospital with Xu Xingxing. This afternoon, news came from the Human Resources Department that Zhong Yujun had come out of the observation room and is now lying in the ward. As for the situation, he did not elaborate.

    When the two arrived at the hospital ward, Zhong Yujun's wife was wiping his face. Her husband was lying like this, and her face was filled with sorrow. But compared to yesterday when his face was expressionless, he looked a little more vivid. In this way, it should be better than yesterday.

    Zhong Yujun is well-liked in the company on weekdays, and the ward is full of gifts, probably from friends and colleagues.

    Xu Xingxing and Chen Wanwan pushed open the door and went in, and Zhong's wife looked up and saw Xu Xingxing. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she pulled the corner of her lips towards Xu Xingxing.

    "Hello, sister-in-law." Xu Xingxing and Chen Wanwan greeted Zhong's wife.

    Zhong's wife nodded, saw what they were holding, and said politely, "Thank you for letting you spend money."

    "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Lord Zhong usually helps us a lot." Chen Wanwan said and put the things down. Walking to the bed, I saw Zhong Yujun staring at them. Chen Wanwan's eyes moved and she said in surprise, "Sir, are you awake?"

    "Well, I just woke up. The doctor came to see it and said that it was because it was delivered in time, and Miss Xu had done timely treatment at the time, so there was no delay in the rescue time." Having said this, Zhong's wife gave Xu Xingxing a grateful glance, and then He added, "We'll see how the recovery goes in the later period."

    In this serious illness, Zhong Yujun took his life and came back. Although it is worth celebrating, it is not a good thing for the Zhong family, it can only be said that it is not too bad.

    After all, in the later period, Zhong Yujun needed high medical expenses and rehabilitation expenses, and neither Zhong's wife nor Zhong's mother worked, which would be a huge financial burden.

    Zhong Yujun's consciousness is awake, his eyes can move, his lips can move, but he can't speak yet. Chen Wanwan and Xu Xingxing went, and he smiled at them, but fell asleep again after a while.

    Afraid of delaying Zhong Yujun's rest, the two did not stay for long. After saying goodbye to Zhong's wife, the two went out of the ward door. When got to the door, happened to meet Mother Zhong who was carrying a food box.

    Compared with yesterday, Mother Zhong's hair was even more white. Before, there was only a small amount of white hair, but now it seems to have been covered with snow, with a few loose black hair mixed in, and there was a bit of bitter joy in her eyes. , making Xu Xingxing's heart sore.

    "It's really sick like a mountain. Master Zhong's illness has left his family in pieces." Chen Wanwan sighed as she walked.

    Xu Xingxing walked down the steps and said, "His illness costs a lot of money."

    With that said, the topic comes up. Chen Wanwan sighed, looked up at her and said, "Isn't it? How can ordinary people get sick, and when they get sick, they will empty their family. So..."

    "So you still have to make more money." Xu Xingxing said.

    Chen Wanwan smiled, patted her shoulder and said, "Yes."

    When Zhong Yujun fell ill, Xu Xingxing felt a lot of emotion. Since she is destined to be alone, she should prepare more money to avoid getting old and sick in the future and having no money for old-age care.

    "I want to do some investment." Xu Xingxing still had some money in his hand. Of the 2 million she had when she divorced Wang Shunsheng, she had deposited 1 million in Huaicheng's account, and she took the other 1 million with her.

    Huaicheng's one million, she is not ready to move, in case Lin Meihui falls ill or other unexpected circumstances in the future. Another one million, she thought about making capital, money begets money.

    After hearing Xu Xingxing's words, Chen Wanwan stopped. With a look of approval, she pointed at Xu Xingxing and said, "Yes, yes, your idea is right. Is there a direction now?"

    Shaking his head, Xu Xingkong said, "Not yet. What about you? Do you have any suggestions?"

    Chen Wanwan's husband Zhan Liangting is from Xiacheng. She has been married for so many years, so she should have many friends here.

    "Don't invest in big ones now, just invest in small ones first." Chen Wanwan said, "Our family has no spare money, but Lao Zhan has many friends from local tyrants, and there are shops on the commercial street. You can invest first. A chain of milk tea shops, or dessert houses, the commercial streets are crowded with people, and they are all office buildings, so business is good.”

    After listening to Chen Wanwan's suggestion, Xu Xingxing became interested, and she asked, "It's so hot, it's hard to get a shop, right?"

    "Hey hey." Chen Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't worry, since it's your sisters, I asked you to come to Xiacheng, if you have any difficulties, I will definitely solve it for you. I will let Lao Zhan draw. Time to inquire and let you know when there is news."

    Chen Wanwan's words made Xu Xingxing feel warm and warm. She looked at her friend, grateful from the bottom of her heart.

    "thanks."

    "Why are you being polite to me?" Chen Wanwan rolled her eyes at Xu Xingxing. She hugged Xu Xingxing's arm and said, "In terms of thanks, I should thank you for taking me to see Lord Zhong today."

    Huang Qiansong and Zhong Yujun have been working together since IO Jewelry Group was a small company. The two of them have been friends for many years, and Zhong Yujun was a former deputy minister. Huang Qiansong wanted to determine the candidate for the next deputy minister, so he had to ask Zhong Yujun what he meant.

    And Xu Xingxing is Zhong Yujun's benefactor. Xu Xingxing brought her here today to see Zhong Yujun, and secondly, when Zhong Yujun and Huang Qiansong talk about the candidate for vice minister, they hope to speak for Chen Wanwan . Xu Xingxing wanted Zhong Yujun to tell Chen Wanwan what he owed her.

    Chen Wanwan had to admire Xu Xingxing. She stood at the entrance of the hospital hall, looking at the sun above her head, and then looking at her friends around her, and sighed.

    "When you graduated back then, if you stayed in Xiacheng without getting married, you must be better than me now."

    Speaking of the past, Xu Xingkong just smiled, she looked at Chen Wanwan, pulled her finger, and said with a smile, "I chose to get married after graduation instead of working hard for my career, and I lost to you in this regard. ."

    Chen Wanwan shook her head, looked at Xu Xingxing's pursed mouth, and unfortunately said, "That son of a bitch Wang Shunsheng is blind. With your current conditions, any one you can find is better than him."

    Xu Xingxing was a little embarrassed by Chen Wanwan's praise, she knew that Chen Wanwan was close to her, so she looked good everywhere. It was because of this that she felt closer to her.

    As for what she said...

    Is anyone better than Wang Shunsheng?

    The halo of the setting sun hit her in the corner of her eyes, Xu Xingxing shook his head, neither agreeing nor refuting.

    The two went to the parking lot together, Chen Wanwan went to open the door, and Xu Xingxing received a WeChat message from her phone. She took out her phone and saw the content of WeChat, her eyes tightened.

    "Let's go, I'll take you home." Chen Wanwan put her bag in the car and called Xu Xingxing.

    "No need." Xu Xingxing clenched his jaw and said in a low voice.

    "You have followed me to the parking lot." Chen Wanwan said with her eyes wide open.

    "I'll just take a taxi by myself." Putting the phone away, Xu Xingkong didn't say much. He said to Chen Wanwan, see you tomorrow, and walked towards the door of the hospital.

    "Hey!" Chen Wanwan called out in disbelief, watching Xu Xingxing take a taxi and leave. She silently got into the car, started the car, and muttered.

    "Is my driving skills that bad?"

    Xu Xingxing got out of the taxi and stepped into the apartment door, his pace quickened. The 8th building she lives in is at the end of the apartment, and when she walks past, the dark shadows in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. The street lights in the community "snapped", with the sound of the filament just burning, the lights seemed to burn several holes in the darkness, illuminating one side of the world.

    Hefeng Apartment is a high-end community. The construction in the community is very wide. On the serious main roads, there are rows of log chairs like a park. The row of chairs is under the fallen magnolia tree, with a few yellow leaves scattered on it.

    Xu Xingxing took two steps in a virtual hurry. When she reached the last two apartment buildings, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the steps on her feet gradually loosened, and finally stopped there.

    Huaijing was sitting on the row of chairs next to the eighth apartment building.

    Next to the row of chairs stood a straight street lamp like a poplar. The white street lamp post was wrapped by the dense white magnolia branches. The light of daytime was blocked by the leaves and only projected through a few gaps, leaving a mark on the man's side face. A few dappled lights.

    His movements were still lazy, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, his back straight and his legs folded. His profile face, as delicate as it was carved, seemed to be plated with a layer of gold under the mottled lights. In the light brown eyes, there was a layer of tenderness that Xu Xingxing had never seen before. His broad palms were open, and his slender fingers were close together. In the center of his palms, there was a small mountain of cat food. And around him and around him, there were several kittens of different colors. The little milk cat is as big as his slap, with a strong contrast in size, under the shadow of this tree, there is a different kind of warmth and delicacy.

    The tall white magnolia opened its branches like a huge umbrella, wrapping this tenderness in its arms.

    Xu Xingxing's eyes moved slightly, and she remembered a picture she had seen on the Internet earlier. A blind teenager feeding pigeons in a London park. Netizens commented that they seemed to be in the second dimension, and Xu Xingxing felt this way now.

    But such silence and admiration did not last long.

    Xu Xingxing stood there and watched, Huaijing's eyelashes trembled, he looked up and saw her.

    The man's gaze seemed to be swept away. When Xu Xingxing thought he was about to sweep past, he fixed on her. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he lifted the cat food beside his legs and put it beside him. The kittens around, meowing in a milky voice, continued to eat whatever they wanted on him.

    He doesn't look like a cat lover, otherwise he wouldn't have developed a relationship after living with Mimi for half a year.

    And now, what is all this for?

    Xu Xingxing walked over, Huaijing patted the seat next to her, she lowered her head slightly, and sat down at a distance from him.

    "There are a lot of stray cats here." Huai Jing handed the cat food to Xu Xingxing.

    A big bag of cat food, like a man bought it on a whim, Xu Xingxing hugged it full.

    She hugged the cat food, took out some and fed it to the little milk cat that came close to her. The little milk cat's hair is soft, and the small tongue licks her palm, Xu Xingxing's eyes are slightly curved, and the corners of his lips are pulled.

    "Well." Xu Xingxing lightly poked the little cat's belly with his finger to prevent it from eating too much. She looked up at Huai Jing and asked, "Why do you suddenly like cats?"

    "Do you like it?" Huai Jing ran out of cat food, so he simply stopped feeding it. Leaning back, arms outstretched, resting lazily on the back of the chair.

    The topic came to her side again, Xu Xingxing didn't know why, but answered anyway.

    "like."

    "That's right." Huai Jing smiled, he looked at Xu Xingxing, his eyes were covered with a dark shadow, "Isn't there a word called Aiwu Jiwu?"

    Huaijing's words were quite unintentional, and Xu Xingxing raised his head to meet his gaze. There was only a faint smile in his eyes, and other Xu Xingxing could not see clearly.

    Even so, her heart was still like a bead on a string, beating slightly. A touch of heat passed from the roots of the ears to the cheeks, and a smear of red that could not be seen clearly was covered by the shadow of the tree.

    "The kitten is really cute." Huaijing lowered her eyes and looked at the little thing going back and forth at her feet. After speaking, she suddenly remembered something. She smiled and looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "Now I regret giving Mimi to you. already."

    The hand holding the cat food tightened, Xu Xingxing shook his jaw and looked over. The man was also looking at her, with a smile on the corner of his right lips.

    "Are you going to take Mimi away?" Xu Xingxing asked nervously.

    "Do you want to take it away if you like it?" Huaijing looked at the woman's nervous expression, swept across her shadowy earlobe, and fixed it on her slender neck along her jawline.

    The corners of his lips twitched again, and the smile in his eyes deepened, Huaijing said.

    "If that was the case, I would have taken you away long ago."
