Chapter 44: I actually know

"It's okay. I'm just going to get the money with Lin Xue. I'm glad to be able to work in the same department with you again, Fang Qi, congratulations."

Because of the words Lin Xue and I said, I guessed that Fang Qi was deliberately arranging my words and simply changed the subject directly. Fang Qi didn't bother with me on this topic. After chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone.

Back in the office, Fang Fang came to my desk: "Two new colleagues will come to the secretary's office soon, and the work will be reassigned when that happens. Assistant Shen said, you will study with me for the time being and share my work. "

Her tone paused: "As for the job you are at hand, temporarily hand over to Xiao Zhang."

Then, she pointed to Zhang Yi behind her.

I nodded and started to organize the work at hand. Those words that Chu Xingzhi said made me understand a truth.

It doesn't matter who makes such a decision, what matters is whether I have the confidence to bear it. Even if Chu Xingzhi did not have such an arrangement, if I was unable to stay in the secretary room, I would leave.

Although it has not been a few days since I was transferred to the secretary's office, the client information on hand is numerous and trivial, and it does take a lot of effort to organize it. After finishing all afternoon, it can be considered as a thorough finishing.

I handed over these things to Zhang Yi. When I was just getting off work, Fang Qi had already appeared in front of the secretary's room.

When she saw me, she smiled happily: "Lin Xi, it's time to get off work, shall we go shopping together?"

Fang Qi took the initiative to step forward and took my hand. If it was normal, I would definitely agree to her.

But now, especially after knowing what she and Manager Xu have done, it is even more impossible to treat her as a friend like before.

"No, I have an appointment with a friend tonight, let's go another day."

I smiled and refused, not wanting to be seen by Fang Qi.

Fang Qi's face showed a disappointed look: "Hey, I still want to go shopping and talking with you. If you are not free, just forget it."

At this moment, Lin Xue and Chu Nian came over.

Xue Lin even walked directly to my side and took my other hand: "Fang Qi, I'm really sorry, my sister is going home to eat tonight, or else, next time when I have time, let's get together Let’s go shopping! Anyway, the three of us have been in the same department and we have many common topics."

Fang Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, if we have a chance, let's go shopping together with three."

Fang Qi let go of my hand, and Lin Xue took my hand tighter: "Sister, my parents are a little anxious waiting at home, let's go back."

After finishing speaking, he directly pulled me into the elevator.

"Today I didn't tell my parents about going back for dinner."

I pulled the hand Lin Xue placed on my arm away, and my tone was stiff.

When Lin Xue did that in front of Fang Qi just now, she was just reminding Fang Qi that no matter how deep the contradiction between Lin Xue and I, we will always be sisters.

The so-called that I want to go home to eat with my parents is just an excuse that Lin Xue has randomly found.

Chapter 14

"Sister, don't you miss Dad? I heard that Dad is in very bad health these days, and he keeps talking about your name."

Lin Xue seemed to have guessed that I would say that. As soon as I heard her say that my dad is not in good health, I immediately asked, "How is dad? Did you go to the hospital?"

Since I left home that day, I never went home to see it again.

For one thing, I didn't want to hear my mother whispering Lin Xue about how difficult it is. I shouldn't ask Lin Xue for money or something. Secondly, I didn't want to meet Chu Nian and Lin Xue there.

"Dad went to the hospital this morning. The condition is still the same. It can only be controlled by special drugs and chemotherapy. But you also know your dad's temper. How could he take such expensive drugs and be willing to accept chemotherapy?"

Lin Xue glanced at me, her tone showing a trace of worry.

Listening to her saying this, my heart was even more twitched. Although my mother loved Lin Xue since she was a child, my dad always cared about me secretly behind his back and comforted me.

Although I left home, the thing I couldn't let go of was my dad.

"I'll take a taxi and go back by myself."

I glanced at Chu Nian, Chu Nian still had a dislike for me in his eyes. I thought, if it weren't for what Lin Xue said, with Chu Nian's character, I'm afraid I can't tolerate being in the elevator with me.

Let alone go back to my parents' house together.

"Sister, since they are all a family, don't be so dismissive."

"Don't you worry that if the three of us appear at the same time, they will become the laughing stock of the neighbors?"

When Chu Nian was with me, he would come to the community to pick me up almost every day. At that time, everyone in the community almost knew that Chu Nian was my boyfriend.

So that when Chu Nian and Lin Xue got married, my mother had to do everything possible to black out me. Only if this is the case, the neighbors will not treat Lin Xue as a conversation partner.

If the neighbors see the three of us getting out of the same car, I am afraid it will take a long time. With Chu Nian's personality, how can you endure this?

"Xiaoxue, if Linxi refuses to do so, then forget it. Anyway, she can get there by taking a taxi by herself, so don't worry."

Sure enough, Chu Nian spoke immediately. A helpless look appeared on Lin Xue's face: "Well, I'll see you at home."

When I got out of the elevator, I ran to the door of the company and stopped a rental car, and came directly to the door of my parents' house.

I quickly came to the door of my parents' house. As soon as my mom opened the door, when she saw me, her face showed disappointment: "It turns out to be Lin Xi."

I don't care about this, thinking of Lin Xue's words, just want to see my dad soon.

"I'll come over today to see what happened to Dad."

I looked in the direction of my dad's room, but my mom didn't stop me and let me go in.

When I walked over, my mother always followed me: "Lin Xi, Xiaoxue is not easy to live now, her family will soon be three people. You are different, you are alone, I also heard Xiaoxue say, you The salary is pretty good now, and it’s not a problem at all that you have to pay for your father’s medical expenses.

Listening to my mother's words, I stopped and looked at her.

As expected, my mother had done the eccentric Lin Xue thoroughly. Even my salary was investigated clearly.

"Mom, do you think that as long as I have the ability, I should take care of everything? I am Dad's daughter, and so is Lin Xue. Her life is much easier than mine."

I have not paid off the credit card used for the decoration of the wedding room. Lin Xue is now taking care of Chu Nian, and my mother is taking care of it. But me?

When I had a high fever that day, I was alone at Qin Ge's house and felt so helpless for the first time.

I once thought that if I were Xue Lin, I'm afraid my mother would rush to the house to take her to the hospital desperately.

"As you said, it is not a problem that I have to pay for my dad's medical expenses. Given Xue Lin's current situation, it is even more not a problem that I want to pay."

My mother's face instantly turned pale: "Why are you girl so stubborn? Don't forget, Lin Xi, your father gave birth to you and raised you. He is sick now, so you want to leave it alone?"

"stop fighting!"

My dad walked out of the room tremblingly, his footsteps were a bit vacant, obviously very weak.

I looked at his sallow face, and it seemed to be a lot darker than when I saw him last time. More importantly, he lost weight again.

He hunched his back and pressed his right hand to his stomach tightly: "A Juan, you are going to cook, Xiaoxi and I have something to say."

Although my mother's face was a little unwilling, but listening to my dad's words, she could only turn her head away: "Tell me, you have something to say to this daughter! Go ahead!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

I immediately stepped forward to support my dad, for fear that he might fall.

Just holding on to his hand, I realized that he was skinny and skinny, and my hand hurts. Seeing my dad's physical condition at the moment, my nose was sore, and I helped him back to bed and lay down.

"Dad, I don't want to be responsible for your medical expenses"

I want to explain my purpose of doing this, and don't let my dad get it wrong. After all, my dad is the best person to me in the whole family.

"Stop talking, I know, Xiaoxi. You grew up when I watched, so how come I don't know what you are thinking."

After my dad finished speaking, he coughed violently. I quickly poured him a cup of warm water and fed him two sips, which was better.

"Dad, I heard Xue Lin said that you would not take medicine or go for chemotherapy, right?"

I remembered Lin Xue's words, if my dad continues like this, I am afraid there is no hope at all. If you continue to take medicine and chemotherapy, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

"Don't go, lest you waste money. It's not easy for you and Xiaoxue to make money. What's more, you will spend a lot of money in the future. My disease is a bottomless pit. Who knows when it will be cured?"

My dad sighed, "Xiaoxi, don't blame your mother for being partial to Xiaoxue, it's my fault."

"Dad, I know."

Actually, I don’t need my dad to say it, I know.

Because I am not my mother's biological daughter.

I knew about this early, but I just pretended not to know. It is precisely because of this that no matter how partial my mother is to Lin Xue, I can comfort myself. Everything is because I am not my mother's own.

I'm just an illegitimate girl.

Because of my existence, I always remind my mother of my father's betrayal of her.

"you know?"

My dad was stunned immediately, and I helped him fill the empty glass again: "I knew it when I was very young, Dad, I won't blame her."

"That's good."

"But Dad, you must go to receive chemotherapy and continue taking medicine. Don't worry about money, I have it here."

I took out a bank card, which is my salary for the past few months in Wanding, after deducting the monthly credit card payment and daily basic living expenses, all transferred to this card.

"This card, dad, take it first. The password is your birthday. I will transfer money to it every month, enough for your treatment."

I put the card into my dad's hands, and my dad refused to accept it, but his current strength is not enough for me, so he can only accept it.

"Dad, don't think about leaving the money with us. I will take you to the hospital for chemotherapy every week afterwards. I will definitely watch you personally after the treatment."

I know my dad's character. If he turns his head, my dad may not go to the hospital anymore. I have to stare at it.

"I can't help you."
