Chapter 257: He's Not There


It took a long time for Yuan Xixi to explain to her mother that she did not skip class, but that she did not have classes this morning, so she came back, and repeatedly promised that she would study hard and would not skip class, and finally left home because she had to prepare class materials.Before leaving the house, Yuan Xixi went to the bathroom to wash her face, and applied cold water to her red and swollen face.Walking out of the gate of the old community, Yuan Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the money in his wallet had been taken away by his father, so he simply sat on the stones in the green belt on the side of the road, rummaged through the bag, and saw if there were any coins that had slipped through the net, and she could take the bus back for only two yuan, although the station that the bus arrived at was still two stations away from where she lived, but it didn't matter, it didn't take much time to walk back from the distance of the two stations.Where Gu Yanchen lives, she can't go to school, so she can appear in front of him as quickly as possible, otherwise, the consequences are not something she can bear.After rummaging for a while, she tragically found that there was no coin for a dollar, Yuan Xixi packed her belongings in frustration, when her mother was going to give her the fare just now, she really should have accepted it.Death to save face and live to suffer is her current portrayal.Yuan Xixi, who was annoyed, didn't notice a valuable black Bentley parked in front of her until someone called her."

Hee-hee."

Raising his head, Yuan Xixi saw someone coming, and immediately stood up like seeing a savior, and said in surprise: "Brother Li, I'm so happy to see you." ”The person who came was his neighbor, the son of Aunt Li next door, named Li Ruichang."

The president asked me to pick you up."

Li Ruichang explained his intention, and suddenly, he saw Yuan Xixi's red and swollen face, stretched out his big hand, lifted her chin, and the sudden movement startled Yuan Xixi, and his body took a few steps back.A touch of pain flashed in Li Ruichang's eyes, and he realized his abruptness and hurriedly apologized."

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.""

No, it's okay."

Yuan Xixi lowered her head, her hands unconsciously clenched her bag, and she was very annoyed, Brother Li cared about her, and her reaction just now was a little hurtful.Just wanted to apologize, I heard Li Ruichang ask: "Who beat you" is her father or her mother, and the only people who can come into contact with Xixi when they go home are these two people.Yuan Xixi shook his head and did not answer."

Who hit you," Li Ruichang asked again in a hoarse voice."

It's time for us to go back."

After Yuan Xixi finished speaking, he took the lead in walking to the car, Li Ruichang still wanted to ask, and knew that Xixi didn't want to say, so he couldn't ask anything, so he had to go to the front of the car and open the door of the back seat for Yuan Xixi, Yuan Xixi frowned and said, "I don't sit in the back seat." ”"Xixi" and "Brother Li." ”Interrupting Li Ruichang's words, Yuan Xixi raised his eyes to look at him."

I'll say it again, I'm not your boss, he is, I'm not qualified to sit in the back seat, we are neighbors and friends, and these two identities are just suitable for sitting in the co-pilot, which is polite."

Yuan Xixi has his own insistence, and Li Ruichang also has his own insistence, he said: "From the day the president sent me to be your driver, you will be my boss." ”"No, I'm not."

Yuan Xixi said: "If you still see outsiders like this, I have to go and tell him that I don't want a driver." ”"Hee-hee."

Li Ruichang looked at her helplessly, compromised after a few seconds, reached out to open the door of the passenger seat, and made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Xixi."

Thank you."

Yuan Xixi sat in the car.Li Ruichang shook his head helplessly, went around from the front of the car to the other side, and sat in the car.The car drove smoothly on the road, the atmosphere in the car was a little stiff, and Yuan Xixi broke the silence."

Brother Li, I met Aunt Li when I went upstairs.""

What did she say to you" Li Ruichang's tone was also a lot more relaxed, and he said jokingly: "I won't complain to you again, I'm in my thirties and haven't gotten married yet" "No." ”Yuan Xixi smiled, pulled the left cheek, gritted her teeth and endured it, she said truthfully: "She saw that my father was at home, but she asked me to go to your house first to avoid it." ”Brother Li is her neighbor and knows a lot about her family's situation, and she does not hide it in front of him.Coincidentally, Brother Li works in Gu's family, and his position is a driver, three years ago, by chance, Gu Yanchen was sent to her as a driver, specifically responsible for picking her up, and because of this, Brother Li helped her a lot.Brother Li would come here to pick her up, and she was not surprised at all."

Did he beat you" Hearing her say that her father was at home, Li Ruichang immediately thought of the person who beat her.Yuan Xixi lowered his head and was silent.Her silence is tantamount to acquiescence, Li Ruichang knew in his heart that it was really Xixi who was beaten by Yuan's father, and a wave of anger rose in his chest."

Brother Li, can I have a request?"

After a long time, Yuan Xixi spoke."

Do you want me to help you hide it again" Li Ruichang smiled bitterly, and then said: "Xixi, I have to remind you, your face is swollen, I can see that you beat people, the president is not blind, he must be able to see it, when he asks, how are you going to answer." ”"I" Yuan Xixi was speechless for a while, and after being silent for a while, she said: "I will tell him that it was I who accidentally stepped on someone else's foot and was slapped by someone, and that person ran away after the beating, and I didn't see who it was." ”"Such a bad excuse, do you think the president will believe it" Without waiting for Yuan Xixi to answer, Li Ruichang made his position clear."

Anyway, I don't believe it, let's not say if you have the talent to lie, with your gentle character, even if you really step on someone's foot, it's okay if you apologize, did you mean it, as for slapping you, besides, you have all taken pictures with people, saying that you didn't see clearly who hit you, who believes" Yuan Xixi was silent, and Li Ruichang continued: "In my opinion, it's better for you to tell the truth." ”To tell the truth, it's okay if he doesn't get angry, but once he gets angry, what should she do if she finds trouble with her father, so she can't tell the truth.The car drove directly into the community and parked downstairs, when Li Ruichang opened the door for Xixi, he told her: "Remember to apply ice cubes again when you go home, and don't try to lie to deceive the president, the president is very shrewd." ”"I see."

Yuan Xixi nodded, stepped out of the car, and handed the drink in his hand to Li Ruichang."

I don't like drinks, give it to Brother Li."

Li Ruichang looked at the drink handed by Yuan Xixi, which he bought for her to cover her face when he got off the car halfway, thought about it, took the drink, Yuan Xixi reluctantly pulled his lips and smiled, turned around and left, walked a few steps and turned back to Li Ruichang and said, "Thank you, Brother Li." ”"You're welcome, let's go inside."

Li Ruichang waved the drink in his hand, and Yuan Xixi turned around and walked into the building.Looking at her slender back as she walked into the building, Li Ruichang's eyes were full of distress, and only in places where she couldn't see could he dare to show his distress for her so blatantly.Hee Hee is twenty years old this year, he is two years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he is a whole reincarnation older than Hee Hee, twelve years old, because you are a neighbor, he can be said to have watched Hee Hee grow up, watching her grow from a little girl with two pigtails to a big girl today.Hee-hee's ill-fated family, who has had asthma since she was a child, has been changed by her sister's imprisonment eight years ago, her father is depressed and drinks all day, and her mother is a traditional woman who makes a living by sewing clothes for others.Hee Hee is very sensible, in order to subsidize the family, he works in a bar while studying, fortunately, that bar is more formal, which is why the president still let Xi Xi continue to work.Three years ago, Hee Hee met the president, and the two had an unusual relationship, until he was sent to be Hee Hee's exclusive driver, he didn't know, at that time, he was stunned for a long time.Until now, he hasn't seen whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Hee Hee to meet the president.Yuan Xixi opened the door with the key, lowered her head and walked into the house, along the way, she was ready to bear his anger, Gu Yanchen would not scold, he would only speak in a cold voice, there was no sharp speech, no thunder, but it was very scary.The expected cold voice didn't sound, Yuan Xixi looked up and saw that there was no one else in the living room except himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his bag on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes, went directly to the refrigerator and took out the ice cubes, and walked to the bedroom while applying his face, feeling heavy.After looking around the room, there was no one, he was not there, at this time, Yuan Xixi was really relieved, his tense nerves relaxed, and he fell softly on the sofa in the living room.It's time to breathe a sigh of relief, where does the sense of loss in my heart come from.Yuan Xixi didn't think about it for long, seeing that it was still early, since Gu Yanchen was not there, she didn't need to stay at home, she could read more books if she went to school early, picked up her mobile phone and called Li Ruichang, hoping that he hadn't left yet.Where is Gu Yanchen in the hospital at this time, it's not that he is sick, but to visit the patient, standing by the bed, his eyes swept over the woman lying on the bed with a hanging needle, and fell on the medical record book hanging at the head of the woman's bed, it was written at the beginning, his name was Wang Yuqi, the disease was influenza, Gu Yanchen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he didn't look down again."

Chen, come and sit," Wang Yuqi said weakly, her pale face made her more and more pitiful."

How could you faint if you are so good" Gu Yanchen asked, his faint tone made it impossible to tell whether he was concerned or politely asked."

People don't know."

Wang Yuqi looked at Gu Yanchen shyly, and was happy in her heart, she succeeded, a phone call passed, Chen put down her work and immediately came to the hospital to see her, it turned out that Chen's care about her has reached the point where no one can match.didn't miss the smugness that flashed in Wang Yuqi's eyes, Gu Yanchen asked quietly: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that I had a cold, and because I didn't find it, I fainted at work." ”Wang Yuqi's weak explanation.Gu Yanchen nodded, and then asked, "What about your family?"

"Mom and Dad are very busy, I didn't inform them. ”Wang Yuqi's eyes flashed with grievances, and his expression was just right.I didn't notify my family when I was sick, but I was an outsider, on purpose, Gu Yanchen sneered in his heart, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.t:
