In memory, you smiling

Chapter 8 I am at the same height as you, looking up at the starry sky (2)
Pan Kaichen stood alone on the corridor, and no employees would pass through this point.It was raining heavily outside, somewhat similar to Xinguo in the rainy season.

I just received an email from my brother, asking him to return to Xinguo immediately after finishing Huanyu's work in the mainland.Firstly, it is not yet time to rebel against his elder brother and his family, and secondly, there is indeed nothing to miss here, and the old friend he came to look for with great interest has disappeared.

She has forgotten the past and has started again, and the only one who is troubled and confused is herself.

The discomfort in his stomach made him in a trance for a moment, Pan Kaichen had never hesitated before.Since his life was planned, there has never been any deviation. The biggest deviation now is because of the origin of everything.He rubbed his stomach vigorously, trying to get rid of his confused thoughts.

At this moment, he unexpectedly heard a voice beside him that was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar with it.

"Mr. Pan, this is good for the stomach." Zuo Yi respectfully handed him a cup of hot cocoa, "You work hard overtime and insist on exercising, so it's not good to skip dinner."

It's the one where the company's female employees often order takeaway, he recognizes it, but...

"Do you know how many calories are in a cup of hot cocoa?"

Hua Zuoyi's eyes widened and she didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Are you trying to make me fat?" No, he didn't want to say that.

Master Pan didn't eat dinner because of this!Hua Zuoyi was shocked.She suddenly felt that the tall and unapproachable social elite hadn't come out from the shadow of the fat senior.

"Forget it, bring it."

Pan Kaichen took the steaming hot cocoa from her hand. He deliberately didn't show a frightening severity, but it always made people feel that he was staring.

Hua Zuoyi thought she was meddling in her own business, and was about to run away, but someone grabbed her wrist, and her whole body was shot with electric current.

Pan Kaichen led Hua Zuoyi into his office, Hua Zuoyi was embarrassed like a student entering the teaching office.

The whole office is gray and black, showing the owner's self-denial and strict style everywhere.The neat desk is completely different from the messy desk she had at SI where the desk was almost invisible.They really are completely different people.

"Take it."

From nowhere, Pan Kaichen took out an umbrella and stuffed it in her arms.She goes home on time every day, and she is still here because she must be trapped by the heavy rain.In fact, when Hua Zuoyi was watching him secretly, Pan Kaichen was silently watching her figure.

Seeing Hua Zuoyi holding the umbrella flattered and at a loss, Pan Kaichen said patiently, "This umbrella is very ordinary, and there will be no hidden stones hitting you when you open it."

Please, don't be so serious when you're joking!Hua Zuoyi's eyes widened, she said thank you nonchalantly, and left the office.

Pan Kaichen pressed his abdomen, sighed and sat behind the desk.A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and the glass curtain wall behind him cut off the continuous rain, but it couldn't stop the golden light that fell from the sky to the ground, illuminating a corner of the newspaper exposed in the open drawer.

That was a newspaper ten years ago.It was also a cold and rainy day, and the bankruptcy announcement of Hua's Enterprise was published in the newspaper.In fact, many companies were engulfed by the financial turmoil that year. From rocket makers to match makers, they all lined up to be knocked down by intangible and invisible forces.Hua's small business can't even squeeze into the social section of the newspaper.

As he was serving in the military overseas, he naturally didn't know that ten years ago, the life trajectory of that arrogant and kind-hearted Xiaohua junior had been rewritten.Her light, her heat, and her sunny nature were all extinguished by this capricious world.

The pain in his palm made Pan Kaichen realize that he was unconsciously clenching his fist again, he loosened and tightened, loosened and tightened again, as if this could relieve the gloom in his heart.If she had been by her side all the time, what would Xiao Hua look like now?
He took a sip of hot cocoa, the sweetness he usually loathed soothed his mind.

Hua Zuoyi went downstairs and walked a few steps along the building. Fortunately, there was a big umbrella, otherwise she would definitely be soaked.Not far away, a Land Rover slowly approached, as if it had been waiting by the side of the road for a long time.

"Hey, Zoe." Chu Qing lowered the car window and waved to her, "Do you want a ride?"

Hua Zuoyi looked up at the jet-black umbrella above her head, and asked with a smile, "Is there a fee?"

He smiled heartily, breaking through the haze of the weather, and even Hua Zuoyi raised the corners of his mouth unknowingly.Chu Qing is easy to infect people. He has the characteristics of a spiritual leader and a deep personality in the city. He is worthy of being a head trafficker who has been in the dispatch industry for many years.

"CQ, you always appear like a superman when I need help, you don't secretly admire me, do you?" Hua Zuoyi got into his car.

"Miss, don't be too sentimental, okay?"

They've known each other for years, they're comfortable with him, and it doesn't hurt to crack jokes.

"Go to a nursing home?"

Flower Zooey nodded.

"Zoe, have you considered your mother's situation? Have you heard what the experts said before, it's not the way to go on like this."

Hua Zuoyi glanced at him lazily, "Then why not marry Youling to you, so that you can also take care of my mother, now many schoolgirls like uncle."

"Forgive me, that little hedgehog Hua Youling."

"Hey, don't say that about my sister, she used to be a very good child."

Chu Qing cast a sympathetic look.

"You said it was in the past, and now that you two are in the same room, that child will have to pluck your hair. Remember? When I first transferred your mother to a nursing home, Hua Youling went downstairs to block your company every day. You, look like you want to die with you."

That's right, people who didn't know thought she stole someone's boyfriend.

Thanks to Chu Qing, Hua Zuoyi got a job at SI and avoided Hua's little girl for a while.I really don't understand why Hua Youling always regards her as an enemy. Not only does she not want her help in her mother's affairs, but she even wants to sever her sister relationship.Her sister is really a typical failure in life.

Alas, it's true that a good man doesn't mention the courage of the past, and a good woman doesn't mention the embarrassment of the past.Hua Zuoyi decided to end the topic with silence.

The wipers in front of me swung vigorously, and for a while, only the sound of brushing could be heard in the car.Chu Qing glanced at the black umbrella with masculine characteristics that she casually placed under her feet, and the mottled rain on her shoulders, and turned up the temperature in the car.

How could an umbrella protect her from all wind and rain.

The next day the weather cleared up, and Shui Mingyue, who didn't have to go to work, came to Hua Zuoyi for lunch again. The restaurants downstairs in Huanyu were all good, but Hua Zuo rarely went there.She doesn't have much time in her life to waste on enjoyment.

"Little Yiyi, you are not enough friends." Shui Mingyue glared at people with peach blossom eyes that were so fascinating that people couldn't pay for her life, and brought back Hua Zoe's sanity. Carrying powder cakes to touch up makeup, "If you find such an excellent man, you don't tell them."

In the Chinese restaurant near Huanyu, people came and went.It is lunch time, and it attracts a large number of diners from office workers in the surrounding business districts.From time to time, the men in suits and leather shoes cast their eyes on the gorgeous beauty Shui Mingyue.

Facing Shui Mingyue's naked envy and hatred, Hua Zuoyi really wanted to say that she was empty, lonely and cold.

"Not the kind of relationship you think."

Shui Mingyue raised her eyebrows and gave a meaningful "Oh".

"Then let others try."

"You, what nonsense are you talking about..." Hua Zuoyi clenched her fists involuntarily, her often confused eyes widened, and her cheeks gradually turned red because of shame or anger.

Shui Mingyue seldom sees Hua Zuoyi, who is indifferent to the world, have such a fierce reaction. She is always very calm, making people think she doesn't care about everything, but every time they talk about Pan Kaichen, Hua Zuoyi Yi became inexplicably excited, showing a flustered and expectant expression.

Ah.Shui Mingyue couldn't help laughing, how could she not notice such an obvious thing as a love expert in Moments.

"Just kidding, little Yiyi, don't be nervous, how could someone rob you of your 'right man'?"

"I told you no." Sometimes she really felt that Pan Kaichen was her "killing emperor".

Hua Zuoyi freed one hand to pick up the noisy mobile phone on the table.

"Commissioner Hua, are you having dinner with friends?" Zoe Hua immediately recognized who the owner of this number was.She quickly grabbed the phone, turned her small face to the side, avoiding Shui Mingyue's curious eyes.

"Yes, yes... What is Mr. Pan's order?"

"There is a regular meeting at one o'clock, I hope Commissioner Hua will not be late."

"Huh, so urgent?" It's already twelve fifty.

Pan Kaichen convinced himself in his heart that he didn't pass by this Chinese restaurant on purpose, nor did he happen to see the interaction between Hua Zuoyi and his friends.He just doesn't like her flashy friend very much.Therefore, she must be called out for any reason.

"Understood, I'll come right away." Huazuo Yi hurriedly stood up.

I just hung up on Pan Kaichen and received a call from the nursing home. It was a nurse calling, saying that someone was about to die.

After a while, she really rushed out, knocked down a few chairs in a panic, and kept apologizing.

Not finding the man hiding in the corner watching her at all, Hua Zuoyi rushed out of the door and ran in the opposite direction from the Huanyu Building.

The room leak happened to be raining overnight, and she was afraid of missing the regular meeting and being repaired by Mr. Pan, but if she didn't go to the nursing home at this moment, she wouldn't even have the chance to be afraid in the future.The younger sister suddenly zoomed in, even if the sky fell, Hua Zuoyi had to run to her mother while carrying it.

"I'll come right away, stop her first! Stop my sister!" She jaywalked across the road while talking on the phone, and was almost hit by a car.In the midst of roaring car horns, she ran to the opposite minibus stop and slapped the side of the minibus, "Wait a minute, let me get on, let me get on!"

The minibus that was about to leave had to slow down, and the middle-aged driver poked his head out.

"Miss, don't take the two-yuan bus that stops at every stop like mine when chasing your boyfriend. A taxi will be much faster. Otherwise, you can take the subway or fly, and you'll be there in no time."

Hua Zuoyi was out of breath from running, cold sweat broke out from her pale face, but she didn't show the usual compromise of resignation, her shining eyes were so imposing.

"If you don't let me get in the car, I'll complain to you. After a while, the bonus will be gone."

The uncle showed embarrassment and stepped on the brakes.

"I lost to you. If you can't catch up with the boy, don't blame uncle for not telling you."

Hua Zuoyi got on the minibus, her heart pounding along the way, and she was shocked when she just received a call from the nursing home.

She knew that the relationship between herself and her younger sister Hua Youling had never been good, but she didn't expect it to come to this point.The younger sister is actually robbing her mother from her again!

Oh, I really miss my childhood.

There is an eight-year age difference between Hua Zuoyi and her younger sister Hua Youling. It can be said that she grew up holding her younger sister.Hua's father is in business and is busy all day long.Mom is also a restless person, always preparing and attending various parties.At that time, the younger sister was like Hua Zuoyi's little tail, following her all the time.Because my elder sister is majestic, arrogant enough, lawless, and doesn't take anyone seriously. Most importantly, my elder sister is even better at taking care of her than my mother.

When others boast about having a powerful older brother, Xiao Youling will proudly say, I have an older sister, who is a beautiful girl with invincible genius.

Since when did it happen between the sisters, was it from the day when the mother started to treat her coldly, or before?Hua Zuoyi couldn’t remember.

Finally arrived at the nursing home, before she entered the ward, she heard Hua Youling's sharp shouts from a long distance away.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to take my mother away, immediately!" As a competent and rebellious girl who breathes fire all over the world, Hua Youling's young face was full of anger and shouted endlessly. After seeing Hua Zuoyi, she felt angry. The value is even more off the charts, "Who told you to call her here!"

"Miss Hua, as you can see, Lingmei's request is really..." The nurse was very wronged, and she was caught in the middle.

Mrs. Hua's condition does not allow casual movement, everyone knows this.Hua Youling's anger and hatred had always been directed only at herself, and this was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable appearance.

"Youling, calm down." Hua Zuoyi said softly.My younger sister is already a head taller than me, so I can no longer use my elder sister's prestige to overwhelm her.

Hua Youling glared at all the people present, with thorns all over her body.She is not a rabbit who is frightened and runs around when threatened. She is a hedgehog in the face of threats, curled up and showing sharp hostility.

It was exactly as Chu Qing described.

Not far away, my mother was sleeping with a mask on a ventilator, her face was peaceful as if she was dreaming.Such a big movement still didn't disturb her.

"Come on, let's go outside and say, don't quarrel in front of mother." She wanted to grab her sister's arm, but You Ling easily pushed her away.

"I'll go by myself!"

Hua Youling walked in front angrily, glaring at the medical staff who were persuading the fight, with an expression on her face that she didn't want you to meddle in their own business.She is no longer the little girl who smiled shyly and pulled her sister's skirt and followed her sister obediently.She has her own ideas, and she has a clear distinction between what she loves and what she hates, and she can't bear to be kept in the dark by Hua Zuoyi again.

In the small garden, the two sisters stared at each other. Due to her height, Hua Youling absolutely suppressed Hua Zuoyi in terms of momentum.

"I found out that you have been paying the medical expenses all the time. I want to transfer to another hospital and take care of Mommy by myself. Dad's insurance money is still in my name."

"Youling, you are still a student, and the medical expenses should be borne by my sister."

"My family doesn't need your relief!" The young girl interrupted her words arrogantly and unreasonably.

Hua Youling's attitude no longer caused her sharp pain, it just slipped sullenly and faintly across her chest, causing a faint helplessness like ripples in her heart.

"I won't sign. Mom can't go anywhere without my signature." Hua Zuoyi replied calmly.
