Shang Qian didn't tidy up his clothes until he said that the child was tired and exhausted, and she was carried by Aunt Zhao to take a bath and get ready for bed.
He thought he would see Su Nan again, but there was no one in the living room.
Aunt Zhao cleaned up the wine glasses on the bar counter, looked at Shang Qian, said with a smile:
"Sir, my wife drank too much and went to rest."
Shang Qian didn't know why he breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded.
He went to the direction of the master bedroom by accident, opened the door gently, and saw that there was only a wall lamp left inside, the light and shadow were dim.
Su Nan was lying on the bed, already sound asleep.
He glanced at the direction of the bedside table, and there was no sign of opening the bottles and jars, they were still placed as usual.
Shang Qian's heart slowly dropped.
Indescribably complex and sour.
His heart was extremely heavy.
Still closing the door gently and slowly.
Not a sound came out.
Which is better, pills or alcohol for sleep?
But no matter which one, Shang Qian couldn't accept it.
It was more difficult for her than she imagined.
Aunt Zhao sent him to the door, but she refused to stay no matter how much she persuaded him, only saying that there were important things to do.
But seeing his poor legs and feet, I couldn't bear him to run back and forth:
"It's not easy to take a taxi here, why don't you ask the driver to pick you up?"
Shang Qian nodded, and then went straight into the elevator.
For him now, almost no one knows that he is back.
His driver, of course, didn't know either.
He turned on his phone and contacted Rong Yi directly, but Rong Yi agreed without saying a word.
In less than fifteen minutes, the car arrived.
Rong Yi drove here by himself.
"So fast?"
Shang Qian looked at the time.
Rong Yi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm socializing with my partner nearby, do you want to show up?"
Shang Qian pursed his lips and shook his head:
"No, take me to the nearby Qinghe Hospital."
"What did you go to the hospital for?"
Shang Qian glanced at him, and said indifferently:
"drive."
"Okay, but it's so late, why did you come out, the car will have time to drive tomorrow, you and your wife haven't seen each other for so long, there should be endless things to talk about.
I haven't told the good news of your return to the company yet, why don't you show up in person and surprise everyone? "
Rong Yi said excitedly, but did not notice that Shang Qian's face darkened slightly behind him.
He replied with silence, Rong Yi didn't notice it at all.
After all, Shang Qian's return is indeed an exciting thing.
Arrived at the hospital.
Shang Qian got out of the car, "Go back, be careful on the road."
"Okay, Mr. Shang, if you need anything, you can contact me anytime."
Shang Qian nodded and walked towards the parking place.
If it was before, there was no need to drive the car away overnight.
But this car is tailor-made for him, and no one can drive it except him, so he has to drive away, otherwise it will delay the next use.
Back to the s French restaurant.
Business is better at night than during the day.
It's just that he never expected the profit here.
When he walked in, the waiter recognized him, said hello and continued to work.
Walking outside just now, the cold sweat on his forehead seemed to have been blown dry by the cold wind. At this time, his face was only slightly pale, and he could not see any emotion.
"Where's Qi Rong?"
He looked at the nearest waiter and asked, his voice cold.
"Manager Qi is upstairs greeting the guests."
Shang Qian's mandible moved slightly, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a sharpness in the dark pupils.
He doesn't go to that office often, but the restaurant needs a place dedicated to working.
So it was packed into an office, but it has been vacant.
The waiter nodded, and then went to call someone obediently.
Shang Qian tugged at his neckline, his face was gloomy and gloomy, and he limped upstairs in the haze.
I don't know if it's just to procrastinate.
Qi Rong didn't show up for a long time.
But Shang Qian is not in a hurry.
He just sat and waited in his office, downloaded a template from the Internet, modified some things, and printed it out.
When he sat down, the pain in his right leg eased a bit.
Not long.
Suddenly a message popped up on the phone.
It's a series of numbers from Rong Yi:
"Mr. Shang, this is the psychiatrist who treats his wife. He is an authoritative expert at home and abroad. He refuses to disclose the specific situation of his wife."
Shang Qian's eye sockets were a little blurred.
Thinking of the medicines on her bedside table, he was helpless.
Is her illness related to him?
definitely is.
no doubt.
He reached out and pressed his forehead so hard that his fingertips turned white.
I don't know how long it has been.
Finally, the sound of slow and heavy footsteps came from the door.
Then, someone knocked on the door.
Shang Qian opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear.
"Come in." His voice was deep and deep.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Qi Rong walked in and closed the door behind his back.
In fact, if you listen carefully, the sound of her footsteps is also light and heavy, but it is not very obvious.
He sat there, staring at the person in front of him with dark eyes.
Qi Rong's face was pale and she was wearing lipstick. It could be seen that she had carefully dressed herself.
He just couldn't hide the panic and dismay on his face.
She pursed her lips. She had worked very hard this night and wanted to make up for her mistakes, as if she was punishing herself.
But it's useless, what should come will still come.
Before he could speak, Qi Rong burst into tears.
She choked up and said, "I'm sorry, is Miss Shang okay? I've been worrying about her for fear that something might happen to her. I don't have any experience in taking care of children, and I haven't been in contact with children of this age even working abroad alone.
I'm really sorry, Ms. Su must be very angry, and I don't know how to atone for it. If I can, I want to apologize to her in person tomorrow. "
Shang Qian looked at her indifferently, didn't use to refute her, didn't use to reprimand her, and didn't say anything.
The more silent he was, the more guilty Qi Rong felt.
Qi Rong pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, looked up at Shang Qian, her voice trembling:
"Sir, please give me another chance. This kind of thing won't happen again. I have no ill intentions towards Miss Shang. If you don't believe me, I will stay away from her in the future."
Her voice was suppressed, and she almost wanted to cry, because she strongly suppressed the emotion of wanting to cry.
"If you drive me away now, I have nowhere to go. If others know that I am disabled, they will only bully me even more, sir, please."
Qi Rong bent over deeply and kept his posture very low.
Shang Qian looked at her quietly, his eyes were icy cold, without the slightest emotion.
There was a moment of silence in the air.
A full minute.
Shang Qian's hand knocked on the table, and the person who knocked was panicked and trembled.
He finally opened his lips, his voice was cold and his eyes darkened:
"Because of you, my daughter almost died, whether it was intentional or not, I will never keep you again.
She's fine because Su Nan came in time, it's her luck, it's not a reason to let you go.
Qi Rong, I am not a charity here. No matter whether you are a normal person or a disabled person, it cannot be an excuse to stay. "
