It was June in the capital, and it was basically the rainy season.
What he saw the most every day was the dense drizzle that kept falling from the dark gray sky. The drizzle was fine and soft, less tender than the spring rain, and more restless.
Fu Qingshan raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with the fatigue left by staying up late and not getting enough sleep. He took a deep breath. After a few seconds, he said in a low and slow voice, “okay, I got it. I’ll… ”
Qiao man did not hear him finish and interrupted him directly, “I’m not familiar with this place and I’m a little scared. Can you come to England to accompany me? ”
Fu Qingshan,”…”
“Also, have you… heard from him recently? ”
Perhaps only she knew how much probing was involved in these few words.
After hearing her words, Fu Qingshan hesitated for about two seconds before continuing, “Qiao Man, how about this? I have an emergency meeting to attend. Wait for me first. I’ll call you back when I’m done. ”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you then. ”
“okay. ”
After cutting off the cell phone communication, the tall man who was walking against the light at the end of the corridor gradually approached where he was standing. Just as he was about to walk past him with his eyes fixed on him, he called out to him, “old JI, wait… ”
Ji Yunshen stopped in his tracks. His spotless black leather shoes and his well-ironed white shirt and suit pants looked like a god descending from the sky under the orange light from the ceiling. He looked even more elegant and abstinent, as if he did not belong to the mortal world.
“You called for me. ”
Fu Qingshan nodded. Then, he took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then, he took out another cigarette and handed it to him. “Yes, I called for you. ”
The man turned sideways and looked down at the cigarette he handed him. He did not take it. His beautiful eyebrows raised slightly. “What’s the matter? ”
“It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s go somewhere else. ”
Fu Qingshan did not care. He calmly took back the cigarette that was handed to him and walked toward the office next to the meeting room.
“sorry, I’m busy. ”
Ji Yunshen didn’t move. His dark eyes stared at Fu Qingshan’s back as he walked a few steps away. “If there’s nothing important, I might have to leave first… ”
“old JI… ”
Fu Qingshan didn’t turn around. He just stopped walking. His voice sounded even more sexy in the relatively quiet corridor. “Old Ji, do you know that Amnesia can’t be faked? ”
“If you don’t want to care about one thing and lose the other, come with me. ”
After saying that, Fu Qingshan didn’t say anything more. He didn’t even look at his reaction. He pushed the door open and walked into the office next to the conference room.
The door wasn’t closed. It was obvious that he was leaving the door open for him.
One second, two seconds, or three seconds. Only then did the man finally open his vigorous and powerful legs and walk towards the open office door.
Fu Qingshan had one hand in his pocket. He was standing by the French window and puffing out clouds. When he heard the sound of the office door closing behind him and the steady footsteps gradually approaching, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly. Old Ji’s reaction.. It was exactly as he had guessed.
“Old Ji, I know you’re still one step away. ”
Ji Yunshen walked to his side and stood side by side with him. “Tell me, what’s the matter? There are no cameras now, and there are no more hidden eyes. ”
Fu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and held the cigarette in his mouth. He reached out with his hand in his pocket and took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket. He took out a cigarette and handed it to him “Qiao Man is about to give birth at any moment. Her condition throughout her pregnancy is not very good. The doctor said that it’s very likely that she will… have difficulty giving birth. ”
Ji Yunshen’s hand that reached out to take the cigarette froze. Countless storms quickly gathered in his dark eyes. There was a calmness that seemed like a storm was about to come. “Is it very serious? What did the doctor say? ”
“that’s what the doctor probably meant. There’s even a possibility of… massive bleeding. ”
From the day Qiao man arrived in England, he had been talking to the doctor on the phone every day. He was clearly aware of her physical condition. However, there were many examination results that would affect the pregnant woman’s mood. He did not let the doctor tell her.
One was that he wanted her to maintain a good state of mind and mood. The other was that he was also secretly working hard, hoping that he and old JI could bring down Ji Donghe as soon as possible. That way, Qiao man could return to the country as soon as possible to give birth. With old JI by her side.. She should have a lot more strength.
However, it would take time. From the looks of it, it would take at least another month. However, Qiao Man could not afford to wait any longer.
She could give birth at any time now. If she knew that old JI was fine, but he did not go to the UK to visit her for a long time, she would probably be extremely disappointed, right?
How could Ji Yunshen not understand what he meant? His slightly furrowed brows instantly locked.
After a long while, he finally said in a warm and indifferent voice, “Okay, I understand. I will arrange for her to return to the country as soon as possible. Right now, the entire Jingdou military compound is filled with spies set up by the old man. I can not stay with you for long. After leaving this door, I still have a gunshot wound to the head. As for Ji Yunshen, who has selective amnesia, don’t give yourself away. ”
“okay, I understand. ”
The door closed and closed, and the sound of the man’s footsteps gradually faded away.
The man standing by the French window, the faint smile on his lips turned into a faint, bitter smile.
He laughed at old JI, and also at himself.
…
After Qiao man cut off the communication, she sat on the low couch by the French window, lost in thought for a long time, as if she had finally figured out some clues.
She lowered her head and pressed the lock screen button. After unlocking it, she quickly dialed the number back. However, after the call was connected, a mechanical female voice came through. “Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off. ”
She tried dialing again, but the result was the same.
She gave up on dialing and sent a text message instead.
[ are you in England? Are you around me? ]
After the text message was sent successfully, she waited for a reply. However, a minute or two minutes, or even an hour, had passed. This message was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no reply at all.
Just as she was about to give up, the text message from that number came back.
[ no, take care of yourself. ]
Qiao Man’s heart full of anticipation was disappointed. She replied with unspeakable disappointment, [ yeah, you too. ]
She pressed the lock button again and placed her phone on the low couch. Then, she looked out the window.
She was thinking about why he was fine, but he did not come to England to see her late.
Did something happen Or was it like Fu Qingshan, who completely forgot about her after an accident?
…
Late at night, Lin city, JI residence.
Zhou Lanqing’s respiratory tract had been frequently infected recently, resulting in asthma. In a month’s time, she was in the hospital for more than half a month.
Ji Han accompanied her almost the entire time. In the morning, he washed her face and washed her face, and at night, he gave her a foot massage. Even if there was a senior nurse present, she would personally do it.
Zhou Lanqing saw it all, and her heart ached.
That night, she sat in a wheelchair, wearing a pair of reading glasses. On her lap was an old photo album.
She lowered her head and slowly flipped through it, looking at it carefully.
Inside were almost all photos of Ji Yunshen and Ji Han when they were young. Perhaps the worse one’s health was, the more one knew that their time was coming, the more one would miss the past.
What she especially missed was the time when they had surrounded her on both sides when they were young and called her grandma. It was probably one of the few happy days in her life that she could count on.
As she watched, her sharp eyes were filled with a layer of mist. Just as she was engrossed in watching, she heard someone knocking on the door from outside. She restrained her emotions and cleared her throat before saying, “please come in. “.
Ji Han heard the sound of an invitation coming from inside and pushed the door open to enter. “GRANDMA, it’s time to take your medicine. ”
“Sigh, ” Zhou Lanqing replied and slowly closed the photo album. She took the medicine and Water Cup from Ji Han. “It’s so late. Why are you still awake? Just to watch me take my medicine? ”
“If I didn’t watch you, you would have forgotten about taking the medicine long ago. ”
Indeed, her memory had been getting worse lately. She used to take bitter medicine, but now it tasted sweet.
If she didn’t know that her sense of taste had gone wrong recently, she would have even suspected that someone had switched the medicine.
Zhou Lanqing drank the water and swallowed the two pills in her hand. Then she slowly said, “I’ll take the medicine. ” “Han ‘er, you and Gu Xichen are going to have a wedding soon. Grandma has nothing to give you. Go to that drawer and take out the brocade box. That’s the gift I prepared for you. Grandma’s health is really deteriorating day by day. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to personally give you this gift if she’s not feeling well… “. … ..
“Grandma, what are you talking about? ”
Ji Han’s beautiful brows slowly furrowed when she heard this. Then, she squatted down and looked up at her. “Grandma, I believe that you will live a long life and accompany Han ‘er forever. So, don’t say these depressing words anymore, okay? ”
“okay, I got it. My Han ‘er, quickly go to that drawer and bring that brocade box to grandma. Grandma wants to personally give it to you. ”
Ji Han did not move. She still looked at her like before.
“good girl, quickly go. ”
After looking at each other for more than ten seconds, or even longer, Ji Han finally moved. She got up and walked in the direction that Zhou Lanqing pointed.
Opening the drawer, the first thing that came into her sight were two brocade boxes. One was rectangular and the other was square. She did not know which one it was, so she turned around and asked Zhou Lanqing, “grandma, is it the rectangular brocade box or the square brocade box? ”
“It’s rectangular, the square one is for man man! ”
Perhaps she felt that Ji Yunshen did not want to give up on that girl even if he died, so Zhou Lanqing slowly accepted Qiao man from the bottom of her heart.
Her attitude had also changed from being resistant and hateful at the beginning to being tolerant and loving now. It could be said to be a 180-degree turn.
Of course, it also had something to do with her body’s deteriorating condition.
“Oh. ”
Ji Han’s pupils constricted slightly. In the relatively dim light, she appeared particularly cold.
She reached out and took the rectangular brocade box. When she turned her head back, she had returned to her sweet and adorable appearance.
After handing it over to Zhou Lanqing, Ji Han asked softly, “grandma, what’s in this rectangular brocade box? ”
Zhou Lanqing took the rectangular brocade box and opened it. Inside was a Pearl Necklace with a market value of around eight figures. It was once part of the British Museum’s collection. Later on, it ended up in the hands of merchants. It was said that when Zhou Lanqing bought this necklace.. It cost a lot of money. It could even be said to be an astronomical price.
Moreover, because of this Pearl Necklace, it was called eternal tears. Therefore, she had always felt that there must be a sad and beautiful love story behind this necklace. She had once liked this necklace very much. Now, it was given to her by Zhou Lanqing personally She actually felt that it was somewhat unreal.
It was like something that she had been dreaming of for a long time. The joy and excitement after suddenly obtaining it was indescribable.
“Come, lower your head. ”
Zhou Lanqing reached out to take out the Pearl Necklace from the brocade box and held it high. “Let grandma put it on you. ”
“Okay, ” Ji Han responded. She reached out to sweep away the long hair that had fallen over her shoulders, leaving only the graceful swan-like neck behind.
The next second she lowered her head, she felt a warm and cool touch on her neck. She raised her hand to touch it, unable to put it down.
“So beautiful. My granddaughter is Really Beautiful! ”
Zhou Lanqing looked at the shy little girl under the orange light and said slowly, “Han ‘er, grandma is really happy to have you as a granddaughter. ”
“Grandma, I’m happy too. ”
Ji Han reached out and put her arm around Zhou Lanqing’s neck. “Grandma, don’t be afraid. Han ‘er will always be with you. ”
“Okay. ”
More mist seeped out of Zhou Lanqing’s eyes. Before she lost control, she pushed the little girl away. “It’s late. Go back and rest. Grandma needs to get ready to rest. ”
“Don’t you need my help? I’ll stay and sleep with you. ”
“No need. Old People have a lot of problems when they sleep. It will affect the quality of your young people’s sleep. Go back quickly. Grandma is sleepy. ”
Ji Han did not say anything else in the end. She turned around and left the room.
The door closed. She moved to the wall at the side and leaned her back against it. She closed her eyes for a long time before she had the strength to walk back.
If she guessed correctly, grandma’s other brocade box was a love token that Duke Windsor had given to Madam Windsor back then. It was also the most precious item in her rare collection.
It could be said to be a priceless treasure that was hard to come by even with a thousand gold coins.
She had kept such a valuable accessory for Qiao Man.
She really wanted to fulfill Zhou Lanqing’s words. In her eyes, she was not even comparable to a dog.
…
Qiao man could not fall asleep at night at all. She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but she did not fall asleep. Her mind was almost filled with the contents of the MMS that Yan ‘Er had sent her.
It was the back view of him and Ji Han. That direction was the direction of the Galaxy Hotel that they often went to.
She told herself not to think too much about it. This was just a misunderstanding.
However, in her heart, there was always another voice complaining “If he’s still alive, why didn’t he come to see you first? Perhaps to him, you and the child aren’t that important. It’s just a tool, a tool for him to live a happy life. ”
Was that so It was probably so.
…
Wimbledon rained for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, the sky finally cleared up.
