The doctor’s words from that day still echoed in my ears, all the doctor’s heartless voice: “Your brother is hopeless-”
The tears that hovered in her eyes, fell down.
She held tightly to Zhuang Zijin, “Brother he is in school, next time I will bring him to see you.”
Zhuang Zijin’s thoughts were a bit chaotic, nodded in confusion, and then did not speak.
Lin Xinyan wiped the tears off her face and smiled, “Mom what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
Zhuang Zijin did not say a word, hands clutching her knees, a sign of insecurity.
Lin Xinyan spoke to her, she just stared blankly somewhere, unfocused vision, somewhat lax.
“Mom–” Lin Xinyan grabbed her shoulders and shook, “You talk to me, look at me, I’m Xin Yan ah, your daughter.”
She had known each other just now and called her name.
Lin Xinyan can’t accept the confusion of her memory, she will remember it for a while, but she will not forget it.
“Don’t you do that.” The nurse who made the rounds saw that Lin Xinyan was a bit agitated and came in to stop it.
Lin Xinyan looked at the nurse, “Is my mother serious again?”
“Mental patients are like that.” The nurse looked at the time, “The visiting time is almost up, you should not get emotional in front of the patient, it will irritate the patient.”
Lin Xingyan nodded, “I know.”
Lin Xinyan told her about the past and fell into some memories.
It was only when the time came that the nurse called her that she came back to her senses and looked at Zhuang Zijin reluctantly, “Mom, I’ll see you again in a few days.”
“Xin Yan.” Lin Xinyan walked to the door when suddenly Zhuang Zijin made a sound, Lin Xinyan turned around and found that Zhuang Zijin did not even look at herself.
Zhuang Zijin froze and looked somewhere, muttering to herself, “My daughter Yan is pregnant, the child has no father, what should she do in the future?”
She cried as she said that.
Lin Xinyan only felt her heart being burned by fire, raw pain.
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back her emotions and turned her head to walk out of the room.
She sat alone on the bench in the corridor.
“Xin Yan.” He Ruize walked over in his white coat.
Lin Xinyan stood up.
He Ruize walked up to her and patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down, “I have something to say to you.”
Lin Xinyan sat back on the bench and He Ruize sat next to her, “You saw it, right?”
“Hmm.” She clasped her hands together, her palms were sweaty.
“Prepare yourself mentally, it’s hard to recover fully from a situation like this.” He Ruize sighed, “She was hit too hard, the outbreak is very serious, she will selectively forget some, particularly painful things, and her memory appears confused.”
Lin Xinyan bit her lip, “She forgot the fact that Xin Qi was gone and asked why I didn’t bring him along to see her.”
He Ruize reached out and wrapped his arm around her, rubbing her arm, “Don’t cry, there’s brother here, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your mother here.”
Lin Xinyan bowed her head and said, “Thank you.”
“Why are you polite with me?” He Ruize lowered his eyes soberly and thought again and again but said his idea, “Yan, when your agreement with Zong Jinghao expires, let me take care of you, okay?”
Lin Xinyan froze and looked at He Ruize, “Brother–”
“I know it may be difficult for you to accept for a while, you know me not for a day or two, I am not a bad man, I just want to take care of you, you do not think for yourself, always think for the child in the belly, the child needs a sound family, in order to facilitate his growth, I have this ability.”
He Rui Ze words have come to this point, she does not understand again would be silly.
For He Ruize, he just treats her as a family member.
“Don’t worry, I will treat him as if he were my own.” He Ruize was particularly serious.
Lin Xinyan didn’t know how to answer for half a day, “Brother, I, I didn’t think-”
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse.” He Ruize looked at her, “Have you thought about it, after the child is born, in the future she asked about his father, what do you do? I am a psychologist, I know that children growing up in single-parent families have character defects, for the sake of your child, think about it.”
He Ruize’s attitude is very sincere, a change from the previous relaxed, Zhuang Zijin’s illness is afraid that it is difficult to recover, she has no money, and the next child, the future life can be imagined difficult.
He really wants to take care of her.
Lin Xinyan bowed her head and had to admit that He Ruize was right in saying that a child needs a sound family in order for him to grow up.
But–
It wasn’t easy for her to accept.
This child was not his.
And his family wasn’t ordinary either.
“Xin Yan–”
“Brother.” Lin Xinyan quickly interrupted him and took out a dozen of money from her bag and handed it to him, “The medical fee you helped me advance last time, I’ll give it back to you.”
Originally, she wanted to see Zhuang Zijin and then contact him, but she didn’t think she would run into him, and he – and said something unexpected.
He Ruize looked at the pile of money, his face slowly sank, “This money, he gave you?”
Lin Xinyan shook her head, “No, Lin Guoan gave it to me.”
She didn’t say exactly.
He Ruize didn’t believe it, that was a heartless man who would suddenly give her money?
“Xin Yan-”
“Brother, I have to go to work.” Lin Xinyan stood up and stuffed the money into He Ruize’s arms, “This is what I owe you, I should pay it back.”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
He Ruize did not go after her, she may be difficult to accept for a while, he should give her some time to digest.
Lin Xinyan arrived at the office near noon.
The person who stopped her was Wu Meixia, Qiu Yi’s good sister, Qiu Yi was fired because of Lin Xinyan, maybe Qiu Yi was at fault, but Qiu Yi would not set her up for no reason.
There must have been something wrong with her before.
“You’re late, right?” Wu Meixia looked at her.
“I took my leave.” Lin Xingyan said in faint tone.
She was new here and the people in the office were not friendly to her, so she didn’t care. She left Meixia Wu and wanted to leave. Meixia Wu grabbed her arm and said: “You’re lying!”
She had already inquired from Bai Zhuwei, Lin Xinyan hadn’t asked her for leave at all.
“I really have asked for leave. Could you please let me go?”
“No! You’re obviously lying! You don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you can get the shelter of Mr. Zong last time!” They didn’t think deeply about the incident that day, they just thought it was Zong Jinghao’s momentary brain fever.
Lin Xinyan’s voice dropped coldly, “Now please move aside, you can ask Mr. Zong yourself if you don’t believe me.”
She didn’t want to make enemies with anyone, she just wanted to do her job quietly, so why did they all come looking for her?
“At 2:30 p.m., there is a meeting with the president of HSBC, and at 8:00 p.m. there is a banquet–”
Zong Jinghao, with one hand in his pocket, walked with a steady step while listening to Bai Zhuwei’s itinerary report behind him.
“Let Guan Jin go to the dinner for me.” He spoke without slowing down.
“This banquet is Dingfeng’s centennial night, it is not appropriate not to go.” Dingfeng is a company founded in the last century, started in the jewellery industry.
By now it has a hundred-year history –
“Mr. Zong, Secretary Bai.” As if finding a witness, Wu Meixia pulled Lin Xinyan over, “Secretary Bai, did she ask you for leave?”
Bai Zhuwei looked up at Zong Jinghao and shook her head: “No, what’s wrong?”
“She was late and said she had asked for leave.” Wu Meixia’s voice rose two more points, “Doesn’t the new one have to abide by the company’s rules?”
