Rose Manor

Chapter 76
Pei Che woke up the moment the cell phone rang. His head hurt and he had no strength. He didn't open his eyes and heard Shen Jianian's voice, thinking that he was still dreaming.

He was reluctant to break his hard-won dreams and longed to hear her voice all the time.

It wasn't until the talking stopped and he opened his eyes and met Shen Jianian's calm eyes that he realized that it was not a dream, but that she was talking on the phone with someone.

It seemed easy to guess who was on the other side of the phone.

"Are you awake?" Shen Jianian reacted first and stood up. When facing him, her face was as cold as last night. "The bartender couldn't contact your family, so he called me. Since you're awake, , get your family over as soon as possible, I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, without waiting for his response, Shen Jianian took the bag and left.

"Xiao Nian..."

Pei Che called her name with red eyes and stretched out his hand to grab her and prevent her from leaving. However, he forgot that he was injured and fell off the hospital bed. His fingertips only touched a piece of her clothes.

"What are you doing?!"

Shen Jia Nian turned around and saw him falling heavily on the tile floor. She was frightened for a moment and yelled angrily and angrily.

She dropped her bag and tried to lift him up with both hands. However, she was not strong enough and failed to pull him up after several attempts. She was about to ring the bell to call the nurse, but he hugged him tightly. Buttoned in arms.

"Xiao Nian, don't go, don't leave me, okay?" Pei Che ignored the pain in his body and locked her tightly with his arms, for fear that she would disappear if he let go a little bit. "Without you, I don't know what else I can do in this world." What’s the point? Tell me, what should I do?”

Shen Jianian pursed her lips and did not respond to his tearful pleas.

Pei Che's voice was hoarse as he begged her over and over again: "As long as you don't leave me, I can do anything you want."

"Let go and I'll call the doctor." Shen Jia Nian said angrily, "Do you want to die here?"

Pei Che refused to let go no matter what, so she had no choice but to pry off his fingers. He was so weak that she couldn't defeat him. She stood up and rang the bedside bell.

Not long after, the nurse came.

"Why did you fall?" The nurse was startled. "The patient's head was smashed and he needed thirteen stitches. He is at risk of concussion. He can't bump into it anymore."

Shen Jia Nian felt a pain in his heart and needed thirteen stitches...

"Please, help me." The nurse called her.

Shen Jianian cooperated with the nurse and got the person to lie down on the hospital bed.

The nurse took a breath and told her: "I'm going to call the doctor to come over and check him. Keep an eye on him and don't let him move around anymore."

Shen Jia Nian had no choice but to stay in the ward and wait for the doctor to come over. He looked at Pei Che, who turned even paler after all the trouble, and said, "I made my words very clear last night."

Pei Che tilted his head to her side, stared straight at her, and only asked her: "Xiao Nian, do you still love me?"

Shen Jia Nian suddenly pursed her lips and did not answer his question.

Pei Che asked again: "Can you forget the relationship between us for the past 20 years?"

Shen Jianian still didn't answer.

"We grew up together, and all our growth is in each other's eyes and hearts. Can you really let it go? I can't. I will never forget it in my life. If we are destined not to be together, even if I Living in this world is no different from the walking dead."

He spoke for a long time, and at the last word he coughed violently, almost dying of breath.

Shen Jianian's heart was turned upside down by his few words, and cracks appeared in the deliberately pretended indifference on his face: "Stop talking, save some strength."

Pei Che calmed down his coughing lungs that were about to explode. He was afraid that if he didn't say something now, he would never get the chance again: "Xiao Nian, I am willing to give up everything in the Pei family. Let's find a livable city and live a worry-free life." How about a carefree life?"

Shen Jia Nian was in a daze for a while, then shook his head: "Not good."

There was no going back between them long ago. It was because he didn't see it clearly. Maybe he saw it clearly, but he couldn't accept the fact of losing her.

"Pei Che, you just returned to China, but you haven't adapted to reality yet. After a while, you can move forward." Shen Jianian turned her back. The doctor just arrived, so she didn't have to face him anymore. "I'm leaving." ”

The nurse who followed the doctor in saw Shen Jia Nian with tears streaming down her face and was a little confused. When she heard her saying she was leaving, she subconsciously muttered: "What about the patient?"

He cannot be discharged from the hospital yet and needs someone to take care of him.

Shen Jianian heard the nurse's words, but she did not look back. Holding the handle of her bag tightly, she walked out of the ward resolutely, walked out of the inpatient building, and walked outside the hospital.

The cold wind blew dry the tears on my face, leaving only the taut skin covering my face like a mask.

Shen Jianian did not return to Rose Manor, but wandered outside aimlessly for a while. At 11:30, he took a taxi to Dongke Building.It was lunch break time, and the staff were getting off work and preparing to go out for dinner. Shen Jia Nian was the only one waiting in front of the elevator in despair. He had to go up against the flow of people.

The CEO's exclusive elevator arrived on the first floor, and the elevator where Shen Jianian was waiting also arrived.

The door opened, and what came into view was a full load of people, pouring out like a school of sardines.Those people passed by Shen Jianian and glanced at her involuntarily.

Who is not curious about the big boss’s girlfriend?
There are a lot of gossips in the company about how Mr. Chen dotes on his girlfriend, who is seven or eight years younger than him. When you meet the real person, those hearsay gossips become more credible.

No wonder Chen is always fascinated by her. At a glance, her face is very stunning. She is like a fairy descending from the earth. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. She is so bright even without her expression. I can't imagine how beautiful she looks when she smiles.

Shen Jianian ignored their appraising glances, stepped aside, and waited until everyone was gone before going in.

On the other side, a group of people walked out of the exclusive elevator. Five or six men in suits and leather shoes surrounded an elegant and noble man. Those people tilted their heads slightly and communicated in low voices with the man in the middle.

It was Fu Jichen and several company executives.

Fu Jichen occasionally nodded in response and glanced inadvertently. The slender figure who just walked into the elevator seemed to be Shen Jianian?

He paused, and the people around him who were following him out of the elevator stopped, and followed the boss's gaze to the employee elevator next to him in confusion.

Didn't find anything strange.

Fu Jichen wanted to verify further, but the elevator door was closed and he could no longer see inside.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" an older executive asked curiously.

Fu Jichen shook his head and laughed. The group left the company gate and got into several cars.

Qu Mo started the engine and was about to drive away. Fu Jichen suddenly raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment, then took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and called Shen Jianian.

He felt that he was right, that was Shen Jianian.

He called her at around ten o'clock, and she was still sleeping at home. Why did he suddenly come to the company? Didn't he tell her to take a day off?

Shen Jia Nian had just arrived at the Secretary's Office, put down her bag and sat down at the workstation. She received a call from Fu Jichen. She held her forehead with one hand, lowered her head, and said feebly: "Hello."

"Come to the company?" The man's mellow voice on the phone was close to his ear.

Shen Jianian raised his head and looked around, thinking that he had been seen by Fu Jichen. He glanced around and couldn't find him: "Well, here he comes."

"Why don't you rest more at home?"

In the carriage, Fu Jichen sat back on the seat with his legs crossed, his eyebrows softened, and the serious expression in the conference room at that time faded away.

Qu Mo accidentally heard his boss talking to Shen Jianian on the phone, so he took out his phone and read the news to divert his attention.

Shen Jianian said on the phone: "I've had enough rest and want to come to the company to see if there is anything I need to do."

"Have you had lunch?"

"No." Shen Jianian was a little depressed, "I had a late breakfast and I'm not hungry yet."

"Come down and eat some more with me?"

"No." Shen Jianian refused softly and cautiously, "I can't eat it."

Fu Jichen smiled and did not force her. He planned to pack some food and send it to her after the dinner party was over.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Jichen casually ordered: "Let's go."

Qu Mo stared at the phone screen without moving.

It was the first time that he ignored the boss's order, which was a bit abnormal. Fu Jichen coughed lightly and saw that he was looking at his mobile phone. His stern face showed displeasure: "What are you looking at?"

Qu Mo quickly put away his cell phone, held the steering wheel with both hands and drove out. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said: "Mr. Chen, there is something..."

Fu Jichen frowned, looking impatient: "If you have something to say, just say it hesitantly."

"Miss Shen and that member of the Pei family were in the news just now." This was a private matter, not a public matter. Qu Mo didn't know if he was talking too much, so he felt a little uneasy after speaking.
