the seventh bride

Chapter 76
Early in the morning, He Feng was called to Nangong Chen's office.

When passing the secretary's office, He Feng leaned over and whispered in Secretary Chen's ear, "Be careful, do you know what Chen Shao called me for?"

Secretary Chen gave him an annoyed look, with displeasure in his eyes: "Mr. He, please respect yourself."

"Small thing, why are you pretending to be serious." Mr. He rolled his eyes boredly, and he wondered why all the women in the secretary department of the president are like walking corpses, and they don't understand the style?Compared with the group of female staff under him, it is really far behind.

"Mr. He, please." Secretary Chen made a gesture of inviting him in, with no expression on his face.

Not to mention how much she hates this man who relies on Vice President Shen for his position, even if Vice President Shen came here in person, she would not dare to flirt in public.

A secretary who wants to stay in the president's secretarial department for three months must first learn how to behave like a walking dead. She knew this truth on the first day of her employment.

Not molesting these female secretaries, He Feng resentfully turned around and walked towards Nangong Chen's office.

Standing in front of the office door, he habitually straightened his suit and adjusted his expression before knocking on the door and walking in.

When facing Nangong Chen, the indecency just now disappeared instantly on his face, and he changed into a low-browed and pleasing expression: "Young Master Chen, are you looking for me?"

Nangong Chen was responding to an email, and said without raising his head: "Actually, you don't have to come to my place, you can just talk to the HR manager and the finance side directly."

"Young Master Chen...what do you mean?" A bad premonition welled up in He Feng's heart.

Nangong Chen continued to write the email, and raised his head after sending the email, but grabbed the folder on the desk and threw it on him angrily, shouting coldly: "Look for yourself what a good thing you have done! "

He Feng was taken aback by his sudden anger, looked at the folder on the ground, then at him, and then bent down to pick up the folder and look through it.

When he turned to the first page and saw Mrs. Zhu's information, he knew what was going on, but it's been so long, why did Nan Gongchen bring it up suddenly?And he was furious.

He knew that he was flawed in handling this matter, and in order to complete the task as soon as possible, he forced the old lady who was over seventy years old to jump off the building, but at that time he really didn't think it was a big deal, besides, the Nangong Group supplied the Zhu family The compensation is enough to buy ten lives.

He didn't report the situation at the time. On the one hand, he felt it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Nangong Chen would blame him for his ineffectiveness, which would affect his promotion.I thought it was over like this, but I didn't expect it to be revealed after so many years.

He glanced at Nangong Chen secretly, and said cautiously: "Young Master Chen, I didn't think carefully about this matter at the beginning, but I settled the matter later, and the Zhu family didn't bother us after receiving the compensation, so ...."

"So you just tell me with peace of mind that everything is settled?" Nangong Chen interrupted him.

"People cannot be resurrected after death, and... I didn't mean it at the time."

"Isn't it intentional?"

He Feng felt guilty because of his words. In fact, he did it on purpose at the beginning, because the property rights belonged to the old lady Zhu, and the old lady refused to sell the house. He thought that only by removing her obstacle could he complete the task on schedule. Together with her son who is not good enough to deal with her.

It's just... Even if he did it on purpose, it was to help him buy the Zhu's courtyard as soon as possible, so he wouldn't be fired like this, right?

"You can go out now." Nangong Chen closed his eyes and said indifferently.

What's the use of pursuing this now?Everyone is dead.

He couldn't imagine that if Zhu Zhu knew that his favorite family member was killed by him back then, would he still fall in love with him and go back to City C with him?

He Feng's complexion changed suddenly, and he stammered: "Young Master Chen... what do you mean? You don't want to drive me out of Nangong Group because of this?"

"If it wasn't for my uncle's face, I wouldn't even want to see you today." Nangong Chen said coldly, and threw him the last word: "Get out!"

He Feng knew Nangong Chen's character. It was difficult for others to change his decisions, and he never liked to listen to his subordinates' explanations. No matter what he said now, it was useless.

It seems that the best way at the moment is to disappear from his eyes wisely, and then ask Vice President Shen to come forward to intercede, maybe this way there will be some room for turning around
He Feng opened the door of the office and walked out, and saw all the female secretaries outside were watching him in imminent danger. Once again, they saw Nangong Chen's ruthlessness.

Mr. He is the nephew of Vice President Shen, and a management team that the company has cultivated for many years, so he fired him without saying a word.

Sure enough, as soon as He Feng left, Vice President Shen Dongyang came to intercede.

But Nangongchen had expected him to come, if he asked the secretary to send him a word, if it was about He Feng, he didn't have to go in.The meaning is obvious, no one begging for mercy this time is useless.

No one knew the real reason why Nangong Chen was so angry, even He Feng himself never figured it out.

Assistant Yan knocked on the door, walked in and said to Nangong Chen, "Young Master Chen, Vice President Shen has already said that President He's affairs are all up to you to arrange."

"En." Nangong Chen replied, he knew that his uncle would definitely be dissatisfied with this matter, but this did not affect his decision.

"Is there any schedule for tonight? If not, I'm off work." Nangong Chen closed the notebook.

"Young Master Chen, have you forgotten? Today is Mayor Feng's birthday party, and he invited you to attend his birthday party." Assistant Yan said.

In the past, regardless of the size of the event, others would send invitations to Nangong Group, and then others would replace them, but since Nangong Chen became famous.When others send invitations, they will write Nangong Chen's name and invite him with the most sincere gesture.

Although most of Nangong Chen was still replaced by Shen Ke, the mayor of City C hosted the banquet today, and in order to deceive people, he even named the banquet a charity dinner.

The mayor called the roll call, and he would have to go if he didn't want to attend again.

After Nangong Chen thought for a while, he said, "Okay, I understand."

"Young Master Chen, are you bringing your young wife to attend? Or another female companion?" Assistant Yan asked respectfully, with a hint of anticipation in his serious eyes.

After pondering for a while, Nangong Chen said to her, "Go and help me contact the Young Madam, and take her to choose a suit that suits her."

Although he didn't want to bring Bai Muqing to the banquet, it would be embarrassing to bring another woman to the banquet without his wife, after all, outsiders didn't think highly of his marriage.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." The little expectation in my heart dissipated, Assistant Yan nodded, turned and walked out.

****
Bai Muqing woke up from her afternoon nap and wanted to go to the hospital to see Xiaoli, she thought about it for a long time in the bedroom but couldn't think of a good excuse to ask Sister He to go out.

It was Sister He who knocked on the door and came in. Before she asked to come out, she informed her that she needed to accompany Nan Gongchen to the mayor's birthday party tonight.

To accompany Nangong Chen to the banquet?She looked up at the time on the wall, it was already past five o'clock, and it seemed that Xiaoli would not be seen again today.

"Young Madam, Assistant Yan is waiting for you downstairs to choose a dress together, so go down quickly." Sister He said.

"That... Do I have to go?" As soon as she thought of all kinds of pretentious and flattering scenes, Bai Muqing felt tired.It's not that Nangong Chen doesn't know, she can't handle that kind of situation at all.

"This is the young master's first time attending a banquet. You are his wife, so naturally you have to accompany him." Since she found out that she was pregnant, Sister He's attitude towards her has changed 180 degrees like the old lady's.He said with a smile: "My youngest is now the dream lover of all the famous ladies in C city. There are many women who want to be his girlfriend. Young lady, are you willing to give up such a good opportunity to other women?"

What Sister He said made sense, such a popular husband was abducted by another woman without paying attention, so she should feel wronged and take the position of his girlfriend.

Before going out, Sister He confessed: "Young Madam, please remember that you are pregnant, don't drink."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention." After Bai Muqing finished speaking, she left the bedroom and went downstairs.

Under the leadership of Assistant Yan, Bai Muqing came to the high-end department store where she bought clothes with Nangong Chen last time. Assistant Yan was obviously very familiar with this place, so she went directly to a famous dress customization shop.

The shop owner warmly received the two of them, and his curious eyes turned to Bai Muqing.

Assistant Yan smiled and said, "This is our Young Master Chen's wife, please recommend some dresses that suit her, um... don't be too luxurious, just simple and generous."

Nangong Chen doesn't like women who are too flamboyant, she knows this in her heart.

After finishing speaking, she said to Bai Muqing: "Young Madam, you can take a look yourself, see if there is anything you like, you can give it a try."

"Okay." Bai Muqing had no idea about choosing dresses, but as Nan Gongchen's young wife, it would be too embarrassing if she didn't have any opinions at all, so she began to pretend to look at the dresses on the shelf.

Of course, she finally chose the style recommended by her boss.

With the experience of last time, she didn't want white this time, but chose a lake green knee-length dress.

The dress was just the right size for her, fresh and pure, which was exactly the image in Assistant Yan's mind.Assistant Yan fell in love with it almost immediately, and said with a slight smile, "Let's just set this up, Young Master Chen will definitely like it."

Bai Muqing nodded, she liked it too.

"Young Madam, these are matching shoes." The boss took out a pair of rhinestone fish-toe shoes with a height of twelve centimeters from the box and put them beside her feet: "Young Madam's feet are small and exquisite, size six should be suitable."

Bai Muqing saw the heels, and immediately shrank her feet back: "No, I don't want to wear high heels."

The female boss and Assistant Yan looked at each other, and Assistant Yan asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because... I can't wear high heels."

"But the dress doesn't match without high heels, and all the women at the banquet wear high heels." The boss also said aside.

"It's better to find me a pair of low heels." Bai Muqing chuckled, and hastily added: "It will be bad if you fall down at the banquet, right?"

Helpless, the boss had no choice but to find her a pair of shoes with big heels. Although they were still a bit high, they were much better than the pair just now.

Shoes with big heels are indeed not that delicate and beautiful on the feet, but for the sake of the baby, she had to wear them as it is.

When Assistant Yan sent Bai Muqing to Nangong Chen, before Nangong Chen could express his opinion, a smear of shame appeared on his face, and he stood by the side without saying a word.

Nangong Chen glanced at Bai Muqing, overall she looked pretty good, with shawl and curly hair, light makeup, simple and elegant dress, just....

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he asked, "Are there no other shoes to choose?"

Assistant Yan lowered her head a little and remained silent.

Bai Muqing hurriedly said: "I like this style myself, I'm afraid I might fall if the height is too high."

"Are you afraid of falling with me?"

"It's hard to say this kind of thing. If I really fall, I will lose the face of the Nangong family, so..." She smiled innocently: "Just to be on the safe side, let's wear low heels. .”

Nangong Chen stopped talking.

In fact, he didn't care that much about it. After all, going to the banquet was not to show off his female companions. If he really wanted to show off, no matter how much she dressed like Miss Bai, she couldn't compare to those big stars and models at the venue.

He, Nangong Chen, doesn't need to rely on a woman to put gold on his face!

Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up from the chair, pulled the suit jacket on the back of the chair and said, "Let's go, let's go there now."

Seeing that Nangong Chen didn't continue to criticize her shoes, Bai Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, and followed his steps towards the company's gate.

*****
Mayor Feng's dinner was held at the famous Huawan Hotel in City C. When the two arrived at the scene, the guests were almost full.

Nangong Chen was able to attend the meeting in person, and Mayor Feng was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. He said kind words to the two and asked the waiter to welcome them into the venue.

As soon as Bai Muqing stepped into the venue, she felt a little uneasy. The Lin family can be regarded as a respectable family in C City, Lin Annan must be indispensable for this kind of occasion, what if they meet him again after a while?
She looked around, but luckily she didn't see him.

He didn't see Lin Annan, but he saw his father and mother, and the two also saw them, walking towards this side.

For such a pair of parents, Bai Muqing really didn't want to see them again, but she had no choice but to deal with this situation.

In front of Nangong Chen, the second elder was very polite, he smiled so much that his teeth could not be seen and greeted him: "Young Master Chen, long time no see, and Ying'an, why haven't you come home for dinner recently?"

Bai Muqing gave them a false smile and said, "I'm busy these days, I'll go back another day."

"Okay, okay, remember to bring Young Master Chen back with you."

"I will try my best to find time to go back." Nan Gongchen didn't want to talk to them, so he took Bai Muqing and walked to the other side.

Nangong Chen was entangled by a group of people, probably because the air in the banquet hall was not smooth enough, Bai Muqing felt a little uncomfortable, in order not to have morning sickness in front of Nangong Chen, she decided to go outside the hotel to get some air.

When she walked out of the hotel door, she unexpectedly found Pu Lianyao in overalls sitting on the flowerbed beside her playing with her mobile phone. She walked over in surprise and looked at him: "Lianyao? Why are you here?"

When Pu Lianyao heard someone calling her, she immediately raised her head.

"Cousin? Why are you here?" She looked at Bai Muqing with surprise.

"Young Master and I came to attend Mayor Feng's dinner."

"Cousin attended the dinner party?" Pu Lianyao's face became more astonished: "Didn't cousin never attend dinner parties? Why did you suddenly come to attend Mayor Feng's dinner party today?"

Has Nangong Chen never attended a dinner party before?Bai Muqing had never heard of this.

She shrugged with a smile, and said, "Mayor Feng probably has more face."

"I think so too."

Bai Muqing looked at her again: "By the way, why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Of course not. Today is Mayor Feng's family hosting a charity dinner. Mayor Feng was worried about an accident and asked us to come and stand by." Pu Lianyao pointed at the ambulance not far away with her chin, which was sent by Hongen Hospital car.

It turned out that it was to prevent accidents at the banquet, and the mayor was really thoughtful.

"Why don't you go in and play?" Pu Lianyao asked.

Bai Muqing smiled: "I feel a little stuffy inside, so come out to get some air."

Pu Lianyao nodded, and then asked again: "By the way, I have received the sour plum cake and a small gift you bought in Yancheng, thank you."

"Thank you, I originally wanted to send it to you, but I haven't been able to find a chance."

"Send it to the hospital specially? It's such a trouble there." Pu Lianyao said gratefully, "I'm already very satisfied that you have this kind of heart, how dare you ask you to send it to me specially."

"It's not specially for you. I'm also planning to visit a patient in Hongen Hospital these days."

"Who? Are you a friend? What's your name? I can take care of you."

"Thank you. His name is Xiaoli. He just had a heart bypass surgery a few days ago."

"Xiao Li? Is it the little boy who had a dirty hand operation a few days ago?" Pu Lianyao was surprised.

Bai Muqing didn't expect Pu Lianyao to know Xiaoli, she smiled and said, "Yes, you know him too?"

"Of course I know. This child has been staying in our hospital for a short period of time. During the hospitalization, he has been in arrears and owes the hospital a headache. But he passed away during the operation a few days ago. Don't you know?" Pu Lianyao was surprised. Looking at her intently, seeing the astonishment on her face, he asked again: "No way? You really don't know? The child's operation is extremely risky. She shouldn't have undergone the operation in the first place, but ended up on the operating table." I never woke up again."

Bai Muqing stared at her in astonishment, and after a while she asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? Xiaoli died?"

Zhao Feiyang told her clearly that the small-grain operation was a success, and she could be discharged from the hospital soon.

"That's right..." Pu Lianyao saw tears rolling down her eyes, and the expression on her face also became serious, and she held her palm: "Biao sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Bai Muqing didn't answer her, she was still blank.

After a while, she suddenly stood up from Pu Lianyao's side, and walked quickly to the rental platform outside the hotel.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, cousin? Where are you going?" Pu Lianyao quickly ran after her and grabbed her wrist: "The banquet has just begun, what should you do, cousin? Cousin..."

Bai Muqing's heart and eyes are now full of the news of Xiaoli's death, so she can't care what Nangong Chen will do.Now she just wants to find Zhao Feiyang quickly, and ask him personally if Xiaoliu's operation was successful.

She hailed a taxi and got in it, asking the driver to take her to Hong'en Hospital.

Not long after the car drove out, Bai Muqing suddenly thought that if Xiao Li had really passed away, it would be useless for her to rush to Hong'en Hospital now. After all, so many days had passed, she asked the driver to drive the car to the children's new hospital instead. Moved residence.

The children's current residence is in a new real estate. As Yue Feiyang said, the upper and lower floors are very spacious and bright, and the area is also very large. It is a good residence.

When Bai Muqing rushed over, Zhao Feiyang and Yuan Gui were serving the children for dinner, and when they saw Bai Muqing who was dressed in a dress but also in a panic, both of them understood her purpose in their hearts.

Zhao Feiyang looked at Yuan Gui, and said to her: "Let me talk to her." After speaking, he got up and walked towards Bai Muqing.

Following Zhao Feiyang to the door, Bai Muqing immediately turned around, stared at him and asked, "Why did you lie to me that Xiaoli's operation was successful?"

Zhao Feiyang took a deep breath, smiled wryly and said: "Why else, I don't want to make you sad and disappointed, and don't want to disturb your vacation."

"Can't you tell whether the small granule is important or the vacation is important?" Bai Muqing said angrily, "If you tell me that the small granule operation failed, I will definitely come back."

"What can I do if I rush back? I am sad except sad." Zhao Feiyang took a step forward, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, Mu Qing, I know you don't want Xiaoli, I know you are very sad, but Xiaoli's Given the circumstances, we should have expected this outcome."

"It's all my fault...." Bai Muqing burst into tears suddenly, crying bitterly: "I proposed Xiao Lian's operation. If Xiao Li hadn't entered the operating room, he wouldn't have passed away so soon. I was the one who killed him..."

At that time, she only thought that surgery must be done, which was the only way out, but she didn't want this surgery to directly send Xiao Li to another world.

Zhao Feiyang knew that she would be sad and blame herself, so he kept Xiaoli's death from her.

He patted her shoulder with his palm again and comforted her: "If Xiaoli's condition does not undergo surgery, the doctor said that she would not be able to survive this month, so don't blame yourself, you are doing this for Xiaoli's good."

"But if there is no operation, at least he can live for another month..."

"But this month he will live a very painful life. We have worked hard and tried our best. I believe that Xiaoli can feel our sincerity, and he will know it under Jiuquan."

Zhao Feiyang's consolation did not bring much comfort to Bai Muqing. After all, it is a fact that Xiaoli left, and it is also a fact that she advocated the operation first. It is really difficult for her not to blame herself.

More tears welled up, and she wept more bitterly.
