Chapter 7
After Jin Yan was discharged from the hospital, he was completely idle. Li Shuyi was so busy in the past few days. Jin Yan was not very clear about the specific situation. He only knew that a major project he was responsible for was about to start, so he is working overtime every day and doesn't care about him at all. He couldn't contact his young master either, so he was hung up when he called and no one replied to the message. He had to raise meat at home every day, and his face was round.
Just when he was so bored that he was about to get moldy, things came.
Bai Jing's uncle Bai Weifang was going to hold a birthday party in the hotel. There were too many guests and there were not enough staff at home, so he borrowed a lot from Bai Jing. Jin Yan and the others also had to go over to take charge of security work. After knowing that Bai Hao was going to go, he was so happy that he found his most expensive suit, and even applied his hair wax. Then he made a self-deprecating expression in front of the mirror that he thought he was too cool. He looked left and right and was satisfied. He grinned and smiled foolishly, and instantly turned from a male god to a fool.
As a result, when he arrived, he was so busy that he was dizzy. He was installing surveillance, handing over work, and checking the guest list. After a day, Jin Yanshui didn't even bother to take a sip and had no time to find where his young master was. Jin Yan was angry and felt that he really couldn't understand these people. Just celebrate the birthday. Isn't it enough for his family to celebrate well? He had to bring all the powerful people, big and small in the city, and let a lot of strangers make a fuss.
Jin Yan's thoughts were not wrong, but this was only a child's idea.
This is not how the game in the adult world is played. Although Bai Weifang is far less influential than Bai Weitang, his children have achieved their own careers, especially the son-in-law has been promoted step by step in his career and has Bai Jing's help. Who dares not take him to heart? To put it bluntly, such gatherings are essentially for the exchange of connections and resources. Maybe after a meal, the cooperation in hand will be agreed upon. Of course, Jin Yan doesn't understand these curves, and he can only hold food and Bai Hao in his mind.
Because it wasn't dinner time yet, many people were still chatting in the garden. There were few people in the area where Jin Yan was responsible for, so he could hear the voices of the conversations of the ladies not far away. In fact, it was nothing special. It was just someone who had a nose injection, whose husband raised a mistress outside, and who had used folk remedies given by a master and finally gave birth to a son.
This is how women are. No matter how high or low a person is, they always like to talk about secret gossip when they get together.
Jin Yan was not bored, and listened with relish. But as he listened, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. He turned to find that Li Shuyi was standing behind him, staring at him with a smile. He felt guilty and showed an extremely terrifying smile to greet him: "Uncle Li."
Jin Yan is already 20 years old, but she looks small and jumps around all day long, looking like an active boy. She is dressed formally today, and her slim suit shows a beautiful waistline, her legs are straight and long, and her face contour is more three-dimensional after revealing her forehead. She looks really handsome and upright at first glance.
Li Shuyi glanced at him lightly and asked, "Are you here for a blind date?"
Jin Yan scratched his head and smiled foolishly. When he reached his hand halfway, he suddenly thought that he could not scratch his hair and then took it back.
How could Li Shuyi not know what he was thinking? He poured a large pot of cold water over: "Bai Hao will come here later if you have something to do. Don't look for people everywhere and do your business."
Jin Yan said with some disappointment, but immediately recovered and complained to Li Shuyi about the afternoon.
They met someone in the afternoon, and they came in a wheelchair, and there was no one on the list. They must have checked this situation, but before they started asking, they were scolded by the Bai family. Originally, the Bai family did not confirm the list of guests, and finally blamed them on them. Jin Yan muttered: "These rich and powerful people are really unreasonable." Of course, he probably forgot that Uncle Li is now one of these "rich and powerful".
Li Shuyi felt strange and asked, "Don't you know that person?"
Jin Yan shook his head: "I don't know you, I've never seen you before."
Li Shuyi frowned: "What's the name?"
Jin Yan thought about it for a long time before he answered uncertainly: "It seems that his name is Ning, um... Ning Yi? Ning Yu?" He was still thinking hard, but Li Shuyi vomited a name: "… Ning Yue."
Jin Yan had long been unable to remember what this person was called, but he felt something was wrong when he looked at Li Shuyi. He leaned over and asked carefully, "Do you know Uncle Li?"
Li Shuyi pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a casual smile, not just knowing each other. He didn't say much, took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Jin Yan, and turned around and walked into the hotel.
Jin Yan hurriedly took the cigarette, followed a few steps and stopped. Since Li Shuyi didn't call him, it was not something he could get involved. But for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.
In the hotel, Ning Yue took medicine, Ning Hui looked at him worriedly and asked, "How is it, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Ning Yue shook his head and smiled very gently: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine." Ning Hui could not feel at ease. She reached out and tried his forehead, feeling that her body temperature was still high, and her face sank, "This won't work, we'll go to the hospital right away." As she said that, she was about to get up.
Ning Yue held her, but didn't say anything, just looked at Ning Hui silently.
Ning Hui gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned red in an instant: "You are so mean to be a slut, you don't care about me. Have you ever thought how heartbroken your parents will feel when they find out?"
Ning Yue's hands trembled, and when he spoke again, his voice was even more swallowed: "Sister, don't be angry, I'll... see him... and leave with a glance."
Ning Hui was extremely sad and didn't know what to do with this younger brother. At this moment, the knock on the door rang, and she quickly wiped her tears and tidied up the expression on her face to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Bai Weifang's eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Qin walked in. When she saw Ning Yue sitting in a wheelchair, Zhou Qin didn't even bother to Ning Hui to say hello to her. She quickly walked to Ning Yue, looked at his legs and said with red eyes: "Why did it happen like this... Why didn't you tell us if something big happened..."
Ning Yue should have been the saddest person, but instead he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, aunt, it's just temporary. The doctor said that persisting in rehabilitation will gradually get better."
Zhou Qin nodded while crying, and then pulled him to ask about his well-being.
Ning Yue had just had surgery and now he had a fever again. In fact, he was extremely weak, but he was not impatient at all and kept replying to Zhou Qin's words carefully. However, Ning Hui was worried that her younger brother could not hold on and couldn't help asking: "Aunt, where is Bai Jing?"
Zhou Qin sighed: "I asked someone to call me before I came. There are many people today, and your uncle is not here, and no one of the younger generations is useful. If all things big and small fall on him, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it for a while."
Ning Yue smiled: "It's okay, there's nothing urgent here."
Zhou Qin said worriedly: "You used to be so good, but he would feel so heartbroken when he saw you like this. It just so happened that he knew more people, so he asked him to ask you if there is any way to get better."
Ning Yue nodded obediently and held Zhou Qin's hand to comfort her not to be sad.
They were talking on their own, but no one noticed Li Shuyi walked in. He stood by the door and buckled the door. When the three of them heard the sound, their faces changed.
Zhou Qin has never liked Li Shuyi, so she asked calmly: "What are you doing here?"
Li Shuyi knew that she was the thorn in the eyes of Bai Jing, so she didn't say much to her. Her eyes fell on Ning Yue and said lightly: "I'll meet old classmates."
Ning Hui has long admired Li Shuyi for a long time, including this man's despicable and shamelessness, and he used all means to pester Bai Jing. She stood up and blocked Ning Yue and said coldly: "You are not welcome here, please leave immediately."
Li Shuyi looked at the tense scene and somehow wanted to laugh. The two women stared at him with alert faces, as if he was a monster. If he took a few steps closer, he would swallow Ning Yue alive.
He was about to speak, but Ning Yue broke the deadlock first: "Sister, there are many customers today, so you can take your aunt out first. I will say a few words to Li Shuyi."
Ning Hui was worried, Ning Yue shook her hand and said, "It's okay."
