Rose Manor

Fu Jichen straightened his tie. After hearing the words, he paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at her: "Going to the hospital?"

Shen Jianian explained: "A friend of mine's mother is sick and hospitalized. I went over to visit her."

Bai Changxia's mother had undergone surgery before. She was in Yicheng at the time and it was not convenient for her to visit.Her mother's condition relapsed the day before yesterday and she was admitted to the hospital again. Now that she is in Beicheng, she should express herself emotionally and rationally.

In the past, she often went to Xia Xia's house to eat, and Bai's mother treated her like her own daughter.

Fu Jichen knew that she had a very close friend. When they were still in Yicheng, that girl had gone to see Jianian, but he had never found a chance to meet her friend.

Fu Jichen didn't say anything else, only told her to pay attention to safety.

The two had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. Shen Jia Nian saw Fu Jichen out, then returned to the house, read for a while, and when the time was almost up, he took another car to the hospital.

I bought flowers, fruit baskets and nutritional supplements on the way.

When she arrived at the hospital, Shen Jia Nian was not sure when she would be able to come out, so she asked the driver to go back first without waiting for her.

This hospital is the same hospital where she was admitted last time when she broke her leg.

Last night, she asked Bai Changxia for the ward number on WeChat and successfully found the ward where Bai's mother was.

Shen Jia Nian stood outside and knocked on the door. He heard Bai Changxia say to her mother inside: "Maybe Jia Nian is here."

Bai Changxia came over to open the door, holding a half-peeled apple in his hand. His face was a little haggard and pale: "You're here, come in quickly."

Shen Jianian, carrying a hand full of things and a bouquet of flowers in her arms, squeezed through the door with difficulty and said casually: "There are many people going out on holidays, and there is a traffic jam on the road."

Mother Bai was sitting on the hospital bed leaning on the pillow. She didn't know that Shen Jia Nian was coming. She just heard from her daughter that it might be Jia Nian who had arrived. She didn't realize it for a long time. She was really surprised to see her now.

"Jianian." Mother Bai's surprise was all reflected on her face, "It's really Jianian."

Seeing her mother's frightened expression, Bai Changxia chuckled: "Can there still be fake Jiannian?"

Shen Jianian put down the things in his hands and greeted the elder with a smile: "Auntie, long time no see, are you okay?"

"Okay, okay." Mother Bai responded repeatedly, and suddenly her eyes turned red, "There was an accident at your home last year, and we couldn't contact you when we heard the news. Xiaxia was so anxious every day, and I followed her. Anxious, Auntie is really happy to see you are still well."

Shen Jia Nian heard her words choked, her nose felt sour, and she wanted to cry: "Thank you, aunt, for still thinking about me. I'm fine."

"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore." Bai Changxia dragged a chair for Shen Jianian to sit on, turning his back to her and giving his mother a reminding look.

Mother Bai looked at her daughter and winked, and suddenly realized that she shouldn't bring up Jia Nian's sadness. She quickly wiped her tears and said, "I won't mention it anymore." She changed the topic, "You came right here, why did you bring so many things? .”

"I asked, these are suitable for you to eat." Shen Jianian said.

"It's not easy for you now, keep the money for yourself." Mother Bai sighed, "I don't know how many days I can live with my old bones."

"Mom!" Bai Changxia frowned. She couldn't bear to hear such depressing words from her mother. She burst into tears when she heard it. "You're not old. The doctor said that taking good care of yourself and living a long life is not a problem. This time it's because you didn't pay attention to the cold." , caused by poor resistance. I told you that we should pay special attention to keeping warm during the late spring cold, but you are always careless."

Mother Bai knew that her daughter was filial, so she smiled and said, "Don't coax me, I know my body very well. It has nothing to do with age. Once a person gets sick, no matter how hard you prevent it, it can't be compared to a normal and healthy person." , He fell down as soon as he said he fell down. Look at that guy, he was the same age, he had a stroke, he couldn’t get out of bed, he fell down, and he was completely comatose."

When Shen Jianian heard the word "stroke", he first thought of Pei Fengnan and looked towards Bai Changxia.Her subtle expression confirmed her suspicion.

Bai Changxia leaned against the bedside table, slowly peeled the apple in his hand, cut it in half, put half into his mother's hand, and handed the other half to Shen Jianian.

Shen Jianian shook his head: "I had breakfast before I came here, but I couldn't eat any more."

Bai Changxia took back her hand and took a bite. It was crispy, sweet, and juicy. She asked Shen Jianian, "Are you really not going to eat it? Apples help digestion."

Shen Jianian: "You can eat it."

After chatting with Bai's mother in the ward for a long time, Bai Changxia finished eating the apple and sent Shen Jianian downstairs.

The two walked along the stone path to the hospital garden.The weather was fine. Some patients wearing hospital gowns were walking accompanied by their caregivers or family members. Some were unable to walk and were being pushed in wheelchairs to bask in the sun.

Bai Changxia put his hands in his pockets, closed his eyes and looked up to feel the warmth of the sun. He took a long breath and said with emotion: "It's so unpredictable."

Shen Jianian looked at her with a serious expression: "How is Auntie's health?"

In front of the patient, she couldn't ask too detailed questions.

Bai Changxia turned to look at her and took off his disguise, his heavy heart reflected on his face: "The situation is not very optimistic. The attending doctor and her family are hiding it from her, for fear that she will think too much and affect the treatment. She You keep talking about death, and you may have a little guess in your mind, but your understanding is not that specific.”

Shen Jianian remained silent, knowing that he could not help her much.

People are always the most helpless in the face of birth, old age, illness and death.

In the past, she thought that the world was falling when something happened to her family, and that every day she lived was torture. But later she discovered that there were many people in the world who were more miserable than she was.

Bai Changxia said: "I met Pei Che's mother yesterday. I almost didn't recognize her. She walked past me in a hurry, followed by a group of elites in suits and ties. They chased her and asked about equity and so on. She was so scared. Crying. I couldn’t stand it, so I helped her drive those people away.”

Shen Jianian listened without saying a word.

Pei Che is gone and Pei Fengnan falls, leaving the whole Pei family without a leader. Those directors are all profit-seeking and will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to buy Zhou Ruo's equity in an attempt to control the Pei family.

After a long time, Shen Jianianfang asked the doubts in his heart: "Didn't Pei Fengnan have a stroke? How could he suddenly fall into coma?"

Bai Changxia sighed: "I heard that the nurse fell asleep in the middle of the night. He wanted to get up without calling anyone. He fell from the hospital bed and his head hit the tile floor vertically. He passed out on the spot and did not wake up even after resuscitation."

Shen Jia Nian's heart seemed to be weighing heavily.

The two walked to a locust tree and sat down on a public bench in the shade.Bai Changxia straightened his legs, raised his toes and swayed. He put his hands on both sides of his body and tilted his head to look at Shen Jiannian.

The halo of light leaking from the leaves fell on her face. The leaves swayed in the wind, and the light spots flickered, giving her face a dreamy beauty.

"Jianian, do you still hate the Pei family?" Bai Changxia hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously.

Now, Pei Che is dead, Pei Fengnan has fallen into a coma and is unlikely to live long, Zhou Ruo is a woman who doesn't understand anything, and Pei is in chaos, as if the outcome is destined to be, unable to break out of the cycle of cause and effect.

After a long while, Shen Jianian said: "I don't know."

*
After coming out of the hospital, Shen Jia Nian didn't want to go home so soon. She walked around carelessly, and her mind was filled with what Bai Changxia asked her -

Do you still hate the Pei family?
When she said she didn't know, the balance in her heart had actually tilted.

The cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang at this time. Shen Jia Nian took it out. The screen was difficult to see clearly in the sun. She turned up the brightness and saw that it was Fu Jichen's call.

After the call was connected, Fu Jichen said in a slow voice: "I'm done. Are you still in the hospital? I'll pick you up and have lunch together."

Shen Jianian glanced at the large shopping mall opposite. She seemed to have walked far away: "Comed out of the hospital."

"Where?" Fu Jichen asked.

Shen Jia Nian searched around and finally found a stop sign and reported his location to Fu Jichen.He said warmly: "Wait there."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianian sat on the waiting chair in front of the bus stop. There was a stainless steel roof above to block the sun. Her face was hidden in the shadows and her expression was calm.

While waiting for Fu Jichen to come over, she slowly figured out something.

Today, she is pursuing further studies in her favorite field of cello and is no longer obsessed with revenge.She was not good at management, so what would happen if she took back Ling Yue Group.

At first, she only wanted to take revenge on the Pei family, but she relied on this obsession to survive. Now the Pei family has paid the price. Whether it was man-made or destiny, her goal was achieved.

Therefore, she wanted to tell Fu Jichen to stop this transaction.
