Chapter 719: Weakness Under the Shell
Driving Chen Xin's second aunt home, Yang Dongxu felt a little regretful, because Chen Xin's second aunt couldn't help but look at him along the way, a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, but also something else. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yang, right? Are you from Hangzhou too?" Finally, Aunt Chen Xin couldn't hold back and asked.
"No, auntie, I'm from Wan Province, and I went to university here in Hangcheng."
"Oh, then you and our Xiaoxin are..."
"Friends, you can also say colleagues."
"how old are you?"
"Auntie, I am 25 this year."
"25? Too young, and our Xiaoxin." Aunt Chen Xin frowned when she heard that Yang Dongxu was only twenty-five. Then I thought of something but didn't say the following words, but the atmosphere in the car became even more awkward.
Fortunately, Uncle Chen Xin's home was not very far from the hospital. Aunt Chen Xin went upstairs to get things and he could breathe a sigh of relief in the car. Then I drove a little faster on the way back and quickly returned to the hospital to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
"You go back first, my second aunt and I will stay in bed with you."
"No, no need." Before Yang Dongxu spoke, Aunt Chen Xin said quickly: "Go back and rest quickly, Xiao Xin. You have to go to work tomorrow. I have doctors and nurses in the hospital. Your uncle is also awake. It's okay. Go back and rest quickly.”
"But you're alone in the hospital."
"How about you go back and rest, let your second aunt accompany you today, and you can come over tomorrow to take over the shift. You can also cook at home for your second uncle and second aunt. The food in the hospital doesn't taste very good." Looking at it. Chen Xin and Yang Dongxu said with a tired look.
Chen Xin was already very tired when she had just returned from Qiandao Lake and had to take stock of the accounts at West Lake. Now that she was tossing about matters at her second uncle's house, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.
"Yes, yes, you go back and rest first." Second Aunt Chen Xin nodded quickly. Second Uncle, who was lying on the hospital bed, also wanted to speak, but he was still a little dizzy after the anesthesia and couldn't speak, so Second Aunt Chen Xin continued: "Tomorrow There's no need to come over and cover the shift. The doctor said your uncle is fine and will just stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. You should be busy and don't delay your work because of this matter. "
"Then I'll go back first." Chen Xin hesitated and nodded.
As for whether she could come tomorrow, she didn't argue with her second aunt. The second aunt definitely didn't want her to delay her work and disagree with his request for leave. So for this matter, I can go back and have a rest, and I can just cook some nutritious meals and send them directly to my second aunt's shift tomorrow.
"How about you squint first? I'll call you when I get home." Yang Dongxu looked at Chen Xin who looked tired and said.
Chen Xin forced a smile, looked up at the inpatient building in front of her, and seemed to be looking for the ward where her second uncle was, and then she couldn't help but shed tears for some reason.
When she learned that her second uncle had been admitted to the hospital, she almost cried. When she came to the hospital and saw her second aunt's eyes red from crying, she couldn't help but want to cry. She didn't want the panicked second aunt to be at a loss again, so she kept holding on, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Yang Dongxu, who was about to start, turned around and let Chen Xin's head rest on his shoulder: "It's okay. The doctor also said that the rescue was very timely. With just a few days of observation, your second uncle will be discharged from the hospital, and there will be no sequelae. Soon It will get better."
"I, I. I was so scared just now. If something happens to my second uncle, and my second aunt can no longer support me, I will have no relatives in this world." Chen Xin subconsciously reached out and hugged Yang Dongxu tightly. She was afraid that if she let go, she would be the only one left alone in the world.
At this time, the toughness and the hard shell of a strong woman who can handle anything with ease have all disappeared. She is just a woman, a divorced woman in her thirties, with no family or children. He only had his second uncle and second aunt who loved him since childhood. If they were gone, she really didn't know what she should do.
"It's okay. There's still me. With me here, you're not alone. Your second uncle will be fine. Isn't your second aunt fine and fine now? Don't worry, everything will be fine." Yang Dongxu patted Chen Xin's shoulders comforted.
He could feel the uneasiness and hesitation of the woman in his arms at this moment. She had been sensible and strong since she was a child and worked hard to get into college, hoping to better repay her uncle and aunt.
As a result, she faced an unfortunate marriage not long after living a good life. In order to prevent her second uncle from worrying about the second trial, she did not dare to go home even when she returned to Hangzhou.
I had no choice but to rent a house in a large courtyard where various religions were mixed, and work part-time jobs. I finally found a permanent job. Not only was I bullied in the courtyard, but I was also teased in the factory.
If she hadn't met Yang Dongxu, she didn't know how long she could have lasted. Perhaps it won't be long before she puts down her pride and lives quietly, or ends her life in the dead of night.
The sudden illness of her second uncle caused her uneasiness, which had been slowly hidden by her stable life in recent years, to explode completely. The panic of being without a owner and feeling insecure instantly engulfed her.
Bright eyes shine into the room through the curtains, making the light appear hazy. With her eyes closed, Chen Xin's eyelashes trembled a few times and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were confused at first, and then she raised her head slightly to look at Yang Dongxu's sleeping face close at hand. The panic in her eyes turned into an indescribable peace of mind.
The two of them were wearing all the clothes except their coats, so they obviously didn't send anything yesterday. She only remembered that she cried loudly after getting in the car, and then fell asleep due to physical and mental exhaustion.
The room at this time was her room, and it was Yang Dongxu who obviously brought him back yesterday. As for why Yang Dongxu didn't go back to his room to sleep after taking her upstairs, but the two of them lay on the same bed.
Chen Xin's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot when she thought of how she felt so at ease in her sleep, hugging the big doll that wouldn't let go. Then she thought of the age gap between the two, and her eyes became a little panicked. Loss is complicated.
"Are you awake?" Yang Dongxu opened his eyes.
"Yeah." Chen Xin nodded and started working quickly, not daring to look at Yang Dongxu.
"I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first." Yang Dongxu got off the bed. He had been held tightly by Chen Xin yesterday and wouldn't let go. He barely had a chance to take a shower after taking off his coat.
"Well, I'll make you breakfast." Chen Xin quickly got off the bed and lowered her head, still not daring to look at him.
Yang Dongxu raised his hand and looked at the time on his wrist, "It's too late to go to the hospital to deliver breakfast to your second uncle. After breakfast later, I will take you to the vegetable market to buy some food and an insulated lunch box. I will give it to you when I get back at noon. Second uncle will cook some food and make some soup to send over."
"You don't need to send me there. I have my own car down there. I can just drive. You go to work and do your work." Chen Xin said quickly.
"Well, let's do this. After breakfast, you can tell me the accounts that need to be checked at the West Lake Scenic Area today. I will go over to check the accounts today. When you prepare the meal and send it to me at noon, I will come back and go with you. , buy some fruit or something and go see your second uncle."
"No, I'm going to see my second uncle later. If nothing happens, I'll go to work. You're busy with your business. Zuotian asked you to drive back and forth. Why do I have the nerve to trouble you?"
"Okay, why are you being polite to me? If you hadn't helped me manage the Sanwan Travel Agency, I would have been so worried and didn't know who to ask for help. You just came back from Qiandao Lake. I'll give you a few days to rest. "Fake, you don't have to go to work until your second uncle is discharged. Leave your work to me. How can you rest assured that I can't do it well?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"No, just."
"It's nothing, this matter is settled. I'm your boss. If you don't listen to your boss, be careful I'll fire you." Yang Dongxu wanted to reach out and play Chen Xin until his head went crazy, but after thinking about it, this action was a bit too intimate. .
Although the two of them were avoiding something at this time, they could not deny the fact that they lay in each other's arms all night last night, even though their underwear and everything was still there and nothing happened.
Chen Xin bit her red lips, feeling a little sad and warm in her heart, which was very contradictory. It wasn't until the sound of running water sounded in the bathroom that she bit her lip to wake herself up. Then she packed up the uneaten meals she made last night and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
During breakfast, Yang Dongxu returned to the room, took out a card and placed it in front of Chen Xin. Chen Xin looked up at Yang Dongxu with a look that was a little embarrassed, a little disappointed, a little panicked, and even a little bit dead.
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Dongxu didn't hesitate this time and directly stretched out his hand to give Chen Xin a headache. When he saw that her complicated eyes turned into pain, and she looked at him with some annoyance, he smiled and said.
"The money is lent to you. You will be my long-term employee from now on. Do you understand the slave contract? If you want to change jobs, just break your legs, or kill them and bury them somewhere. Treat me well before you pay back the money." Be better, be careful if I get angry and ask you to pay back the money."
"I don't want it." Chen Xin pouted and snorted, her expression no longer as complicated as before, but rather cute and angry.
"Take it first. With the temperament of your cousin, your second uncle and second aunt must have been drained of all their money. You are buying a house and a car here, so you have a lot of loans, right?
Your second uncle is hospitalized this time, and both of you have stopped working. Your second uncle may even have less money after retiring early. Afterwards, recovery treatment, nutrition, and living expenses are all free of charge. What else can you support me with? "
"That's what I borrowed from you. I will also pay you back the money my second uncle spent in hospital yesterday." Chen Xin gritted his teeth and picked up the card.
It doesn't matter if she has no money and is in a tight situation on her own, but her second uncle, who has just recovered from a serious illness, must take a good recuperation to avoid leaving any root causes of the disease, and her second aunt should also have a good check-up before she can rest assured. In addition, money is needed for life.
"Of course I have to pay it back. Why do you still want to default on the debt?" Yang Dongxu glared at Chen Xin, as if you believe it or not, I will beat you if you default on the debt.
Seeing Yang Dongxu pretending to be seriously angry in order to make himself feel better. Chen Xin felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Only when a man faces a girl he likes will he become completely childish.
Love is not only about women’s IQ being zero, men’s IQ is also drastically reduced. But the two of them don't seem to be in love again, so they are a little confused and can't tell the difference.
