Chapter 926: Almost Dead

Hospital.

When Xiao Ai woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Xiao Ai, are you hungry?" Bai Zhi held Xiao Ai's little hand and looked at her distressedly, "What do you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you, okay? Just like before, you can direct by the side, and Daddy and Mommy will make it for you."

Xiao Ai opened her eyes weakly and looked at Bai Zhi, shaking her head gently.

"Mommy, I'm not hungry." Hearing Xiao Ai's weak voice, Bai Zhi's eyes turned red, and she took a few deep breaths to control her tears from falling.

Her Xiao Ai has always been a foodie, but she has not eaten for almost a whole day for several years, relying entirely on the glucose water in the drip.

"Daddy, Mommy, am I dying soon? I have no strength in my body and I don't feel hungry." Xiao Ai moved her small hand in Bai Zhi's hand. Thinking that she was going to die, she shed tears sadly, "I can't bear to leave you, woo..."

"Xiao Ai will be fine." Lu Jueyun leaned over and wrapped Bai Zhi and Xiao Ai's hands in his big palms, "Daddy, don't let you talk nonsense."

"Yes, Xiao Ai, don't think nonsense." Lu Juefeng's warm palm made Bai Zhi calm down. She looked at Xiao Ai gently, "It is normal for people to have no appetite when they are sick. When you get better, your appetite will help you make up for all the food you haven't eaten these days."

"Really?" Xiao Ai's eyes lit up. Daddy and Mommy said she was fine, so she must be fine. Daddy and Mommy never lied to her.

"Of course, Xiao Ai, as long as you have a good rest and listen well, you will get better soon." Bai Zhi kissed Xiao Ai's forehead, "When Xiao Ai gets better, Mommy will make whatever you want to eat for you."

"Okay." Xiao Ai nodded, "I suddenly miss my brother, can I video chat with him?"

Bai Zhi heard this and quickly looked at Lu Juefeng.

They didn't want Xiao Ke to know about this for the time being, because Xiao Ke was always worried and they were afraid that he would think too much.

"Xiao Ai..." Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Ai's expectant eyes and spoke with difficulty. Just as she was thinking about how to tactfully evade the question, Lu Juefeng's palm was already on her shoulder.

"Xiao Ai, do you want your brother to win the award?" Lu Juefeng stared at Xiao Ai.

"Of course!" Xiao Ai nodded, and then understood, "My brother is now in a time difference with me. If I video chat with him now, it may disturb his rest, which will also affect his game. Daddy, I understand. I will wait until tomorrow to video chat with my brother."

"Be good." Bai Zhi gently touched Xiao Ai's pale face. Seeing her daughter so well-behaved and sensible, she felt even more heartbroken.

Less than half an hour after Xiao Ai woke up, she fell asleep again.

Bai Zhi sat by Xiao Ai's bed, tracing Xiao Ai's outline with trembling fingertips, feeling self-blame and guilt. If Xiao Ai had any problems, she would never be at peace in her life.

"Don't worry, I won't let her get hurt." Lu Juefeng hugged Bai Zhi in his arms, his voice low.

"Ding ding dong, ding ding dong, bells ringing..."

Bai Zhi's cell phone rang suddenly. Since Xiao Ai fell ill and was hospitalized, Bai Zhi changed the ringtone of her cell phone to this song "Jing ding dong" sung by Xiao Ai herself.

Lu Juefeng let go of Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi took out her phone from her bag. It was Mu Jianhua.

"Xiao Zhi, I'm at the entrance of Bishui Qingyuan Community. Is it convenient for us to meet?" Mu Jianhua sat in the car, holding the steering wheel with one hand and the phone with the other.

"I'm not at home." Bai Zhi glanced at Lu Juefeng and said to Mu Jianhua on the other end of the phone, "You go to Taoyuan Tea House and wait for me."

There are some things that she must make clear to Mu Jianhua.

"Juefeng, I'll..." Bai Zhi hung up the phone and was about to explain to Lu Juefeng, but was interrupted by Lu Juefeng.

"I understand." Lu Juefeng looked directly at Bai Zhi, "At most half an hour."

Some things always require her to make a conclusion by herself, but half an hour is his limit.

Taoyuan Tea House.

As soon as Mu Jianhua entered the door, he saw Bai Zhi sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. There were two cups of green tea on the table, which was Lu'an Guapian.

"Xiaozhi." Mu Jianhua sat down opposite Baizhi. He thought that Lu Juefeng would definitely appear with Baizhi, and he was prepared to continue to be ridiculed by Lu Juefeng. But now facing Baizhi alone, he found himself more restrained, "I..."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Baizhi took a sip of tea and looked at Mu Jianhua with a frank look.

"I came here to apologize to you and the Lu Group on behalf of my father." Mu Jianhua held the cup on the table uncomfortably, "I am really sorry about his participation in the conspiracy of Gu Changsheng and Xia Caihe and what he did to the Lu Group..."

"Juefeng and I didn't take this matter to heart." Baizhi was thinking about Xiaoai in her heart, and she didn't want to listen to Mu Jianhua's explanation of the ins and outs of this matter. "Brother Mu, this matter has passed, you don't have to blame yourself anymore."

"But..." Mu Jianhua wanted to explain something, but when he met Baizhi's eyes, he couldn't speak.

The indifferent look was exactly the same as when Lu Juefeng said he didn't care.

It turns out that they really don't care.

For a moment, Mu Jianhua felt like a clown.

His hard work was met with disdain from the other party.

What if they hated him? What if they misunderstood him?

He was not involved in this matter, but he was not completely innocent.

He himself didn't know what purpose he had in letting Mu Chengxun manipulate Mu's company to attack Lu's group. Perhaps it was just to occupy a corner in Bai Zhi's heart. Even if it was only hatred, it was better than not caring.

"I am a mean person." Mu Jianhua smiled helplessly, "I came to you twice to explain this matter. I was afraid that you would misunderstand and that we would not even be friends. Xiaozhi, I have let go of the past, and I hope you will not blame yourself or feel sorry for me. In the future, we will still be friends, okay?"

"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded, "Then let's let go, don't feel sorry for each other, and don't have the burden of guilt and self-blame. In the future, we will still be friends."

Mu Jianhua pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded to Bai Zhi with a smile: "Okay, then I will use tea instead of wine to toast our friendship."

Bai Zhi symbolically took a sip of the teacup and raised her wrist to look at her watch.

15 minutes have passed.

"What's up?" Mu Jianhua noticed Bai Zhi's movements. "If you have something to do, don't worry about me. Go and do your work first."

"Okay, we'll contact each other later." Bai Zhi didn't refuse and stood up to say goodbye.

"Xiao Zhi." Mu Jianhua thought about it and finally called Bai Zhi to ask the question he wanted to ask as soon as he entered the door, "Are you hiding something from me? If you need my help, you must tell me."
