Xiao Qinghe replied tiredly, "Not at the moment." He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm about to board the plane. Let's not talk about that for now."
Mu Chen had been woken up a long time ago. At this moment, he was hugging Xiao Jia Yu from behind, his ear leaning on her phone as he clearly heard what Xiao Qing He had just said. When he saw Xiao Jia Yu's pale face, he wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but he didn't expect his phone to ring again.
The caller was still Xiao Qing He. Mu Chen had already guessed what the other party wanted to say and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Mu Chen, give your brother-in-law a call first. Tell him that I have something that needs his help with, and then give me your brother-in-law's phone number. I'll personally contact him after you've told him about it." Xiao Qinghe's voice was still urgent.
Mu Chen hurriedly said, "Then I'll call him right away. Don't be too anxious."
Xiao Qinghe suddenly asked again, "Don't ask me what happened?"
Mu Chen replied, "I already know. Jia Yu and I are now together."
At this time, Xiao Qinghe did not have the mind to care about why the two of them were together. He could only say, "Then I'll trouble you. I have no other choice."
Mu Chen hurriedly said, "There's no need for the two of us to say something like that."
After seeing Mu Chen hang up on Xiao Qing He, Xiao Jia Yu immediately looked nervously at Mu Chen. "Uncle, are you going to call your brother-in-law?"
Mu Chen nodded, and then patted Xiao Jia Yu's face as if to comfort her: "Don't worry, I don't think it will be as bad as you imagined. The mountain has a bad signal and there aren't many people around, so it's normal that we can't contact anyone at the moment.
Xiao Jiayu did not think too much about it at this moment. She only thought that it would be better if she could get in touch with Nanqiao. She urged Mu Chen to call Ning Jiayang, while she herself called her father.
Although this was the time for him to have a good dream, Xiao Shixian had long been woken up by his cousin's phone call. Thus, he was not surprised when Xiao Jiayu called him.
"Father." Xiao Jiayu had not contacted Xiao Shixian in a long time, and even the way he addressed him felt a little strange, "You should already know about what happened to Nanqiao, right?"
Xiao Shixian nodded and then replied as if it was official, "I just called Xiao Yang. He said he knew he was going to ask for help from the county and would send back news as soon as he got it. I can see that your uncle won't be able to relax, and will probably contact him personally. "
Xiao Jia Yu bit her lips and said: "Father, tomorrow's engagement banquet …" She knew that Xiao Qing He had already left the imperial city to head to the C Province. Naturally, there would be no engagement banquet. After all, the groom was already gone.
Xiao Shixian was not surprised that she mentioned the engagement banquet, "The phone that I called your uncle just now was already turned off, I know that he has already left. But the engagement party is ready, and your grandmother takes it very seriously, and I can't call her now to wake her up. "I think I can only call the Yu clan and inform them in advance, or else things will get ugly."
"Okay, Dad, I know. If you have any news of Nacho, please let me know. " She was relieved when she saw that Xiao Shixian was willing to take the initiative to settle the engagement banquet. Although this kind of thing was always based on her grandmother's opinion, things would be much easier as long as Xiao Shixian came forward.
"Alright, if there's any news, I'll immediately ask my secretary to inform you."
Xiao Jiayu felt a little uncomfortable inside. Her relationship with Xiao Shixian was so distant that she actually needed a secretary to pass on such information. However, most of her thoughts were now on the matter in front of her, so she didn't have the heart to entangle herself with her father's current awkward father-daughter relationship.
After Xiao Jiayu and Xiao Shixian finished talking on the phone, Mu Chen and Ning Jiayang finished talking about what had happened.
When Mu Chen returned to the bed, he saw Xiao Jia Yu leaning on the bed in a daze with a forlorn look on her face. He thought that she was worried about what had happened with South Qiao and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her: "When I called my brother-in-law just now, he said that he had already called ahead of time and told me that he didn't need to worry, he would definitely notify us if there was any news."
Xiao Jia Yu nodded her head without much energy and couldn't help but be a little scared as she thought: "If something really happens to Nan Qiao this time, little uncle will definitely regret it for the rest of his life." Even if outsiders knew that Nanqiao had chosen to teach in the mountainous areas of C Province, my uncle would only think that she had done so to avoid him. "Compared to losing a person forever, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Mu Chen's grip on her tightened, and said: "You're thinking too much, Nan Qiao will definitely be fine. Actually, he should also be very fond of Nan Qiao. However, at his age, there are many things that needs to be taken into consideration. He is also from your Xiao family, so it is not so simple to love and not love. "
In C province, a plane landed at the airport of A city at sunrise. Xiao Qing He hurriedly got off the plane and received many missed calls from his mobile phone. He quickly opened it to take a look and saw that almost all of them came from the same person, Yu Lin.
He understood his cousin, and since he knew about the matter of Nan Qiao, he must have expected that he would not be able to attend the engagement banquet today. Naturally, he would communicate with the Yu Family in advance, however, he did not know if it was to apologize or not.
Xiao Qinghe walked out of the airport and quickly got into a car he had arranged beforehand. At this time, he received a call from Ning Jiayang, "Go directly to the county that was affected by the disaster. There will be someone there to receive you. I have already given your number to him. He will take the initiative to contact you."
Xiao Qinghe responded with great gratitude, "I will not say thanks for this great favor. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay it."
Ning Jiayang hurriedly said, "Since I'm calling you uncle, based on the relationship between our family and the Xiao family, you shouldn't say such polite words." It was just like what he had said to Song Qingying before, that he hoped Mu Chen would be able to stay with Xiao Jia Yu to consolidate their relationship. Now that he was able to owe the Xiao family a favor, he was naturally happy.
When Xiao Qinghe arrived, he instead felt more and more nervous. He did not continue to be polite with Ning Jiayang and thanked her before hanging up the phone.
By the time Xiao Qing He arrived at the small town with the collapsed mountain, it was already noon. He and the people Ning Jia Yang sent to pick him up were about to bump into each other. He found out from her that the school she was in was at the foot of a mountain. When it happened, it was already close to midnight and there were no students in the school, but the young people that came with her were all living in the school. The only fortunate thing was that there were no problems among the students.
Last night, something happened suddenly. The local villagers had always been very fond of the young people who voluntarily came here to teach and organized a rescue on their own initiative. They immediately rescued a man and a woman, but the two of them were still lying in the hospital and they were also unconscious. This person had only been here for a short time, so he only knew this much. The two young men that were rescued had already been sent to the hospital in the city, so he couldn't be sure of their identities.
Xiao Qinghe hesitated for a moment. Seeing that everyone had not yet been rescued, he continued to do so. However, his logic told him that those who had yet to be saved were most likely already in trouble. He closed his eyes and opened them again, forcing himself to make a decision. "I'm going to the hospital right now. Stay here and tell me if there's any news."
On the way, he saw that there was a towering mountain on one side of the winding mountain road and a deep abyss on the other. On the way, he saw that there were only two girls that came here to teach him the news he had just received, so there was a high chance that the one lying in the city hospital right now was Nanqiao.
Xiao Qinghe finally finished walking down this long mountain road and felt that he had never suffered so much in his life before.
They quickly arrived at the hospital, but Xiao Qing He didn't dare to enter. Only when the driver reminded him did he force himself to enter the hospital. Very soon, he found out which ward the girl was sent to after the surgery. At the beginning, Xiao Qinghe had walked towards the ward with quick steps, but as he got closer to the ward, he felt that his steps were becoming increasingly heavy.
Xiao Qing He once again forced himself to walk to the front of the ward and look through the glass window. When Xiao Qinghe saw that the person lying on the sickbed with his eyes closed and his head still wrapped up by the shaven head, Xiao Qinghe's eyes instantly turned red. In the end, he even knelt in front of the sickroom and silently cried. For the first time, he thought, he was grateful to God for letting him live.
When a nurse saw the strange Xiao Qinghe, she came forward and asked with concern: "Sir, is there anything I can help with?"
Xiao Qinghe hurriedly turned his head to wipe his tears. Only then did he stand up and ask, "What is the situation of the people inside?"
Only then did the nurse realize that he was actually the family of that young girl inside. Seeing that Xiao Qinghe had an outstanding and refined appearance, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship he had with the person inside. However, she quickly repressed her curiosity and quickly replied, "Previously, she suffered a landslide, causing her head to be smashed. The blood clot was very severe, so after being sent over, she immediately underwent surgery. She was just sent here not long ago and we were also thinking of ways to contact her family. As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel admiration for him. "She looks like a lady who has been spoiled a lot. She doesn't get any compensation for coming here to teach other than the lowest living allowance. If she doesn't have a little bit of determination, she won't be able to bear the hardships here."
Xiao Qinghe's eyes were still red, but there was a absent-minded smile on his face. "That's right. She has never been a lady with a delicate temperament since she was young. She is braver than many boys."
After the nurse had left, Xiao Qinghe did not immediately enter Nan Qiao's room, but went to the balcony at the end of the corridor to smoke. After determining that Nan Qiao was not in a life threatening situation, he felt that he still had many other matters to deal with.
Another nurse came by to remind Xiao Qinghe not to smoke. After apologizing, Xiao Qinghe immediately put out his cigarette. At this moment, his phone rang again. The caller was Yu Lin Jing.
