Chapter 6: Holding a grudge

The car drove into the hospital, Ling Xiao parked the car and helped Zhu Shan out.

As soon as she stood still, she couldn't help but shrink to the ground in pain.

Ling Xiao turned his back and squatted down, "Come up, I'll carry you."

When Zhu Shan shouldn't be principled, she suddenly became very principled. She held her stomach and asked, "Isn't it bad?"

"I'll count to three!" Ling Xiao kept bending down and started counting, "One! Two..."

Zhu Shan immediately got up.

This was the first time since she became an adult that she was so close to Ling Xiao. There was no embarrassment as she imagined, and the pain in her stomach occupied all her senses.

Zhu Shan Nuonuo asked, "Slow down, it will hurt even more."

Zhu Shan couldn't feel if Ling Xiao really slowed down, she couldn't feel anything except pain.

Later Ling Xiao pushed a wheelchair.

With the wheelchair, Zhu Shan feels much better.

She was wheeled to the emergency room, where she lay on a bed while a doctor pressed her abdomen.

Zhu Shan only felt that wherever the doctor pressed, she felt pain.

The doctor wasn't sure whether she had stomach pain, so he suggested doing a few tests first.

While waiting outside the B-ultrasound examination room, Zhu Shan grabbed Ling Xiao's wrist, "All the money my parents left me is in the bank. The password is my mother's birthday. If anything happens to me, you can take out the money and give half of it to me." My aunt will give half to your parents."

Ling Xiao's brows beat uncontrollably.

After several seconds, he knelt down and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"twenty two."

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.

Zhu Shan had been in good health since she was a child and rarely got sick. Whenever she had a headache or fever, she felt that she was suffering from a serious illness and was going to die.

But Ling Xiao didn't expect that she would still be like this now that she was twenty-two years old.

She seems to have grown up, but nothing has changed.

Zhu Shan saw Ling Xiao's sigh in her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled, "You don't remember my mother's birthday, do you? I used to let you eat cake every year..."

"Zhu Shanshan!"

"..." Why do you call me by your first name again?

Ling Xiao looked straight at Zhu Shan and said in a leisurely tone, "After you die, according to the law, all property belongs to me!"

Zhu Shan's eyes widened instantly.

She can't die!

After the examination report came out, the doctor looked at it and said there was nothing wrong. He thought it was chronic gastroenteritis, which was caused by Zhu Shan eating too many spicy foods recently.

Because she was in so much pain, the doctor arranged for a fluid infusion to relieve the pain faster.

The hospital's beds were tight, and Zhu Shan's condition was not serious, so she was placed in a wheelchair with an infusion stand next to her and given infusions in the corridor.

As time passed slowly, Zhu Shan felt less painful.

She opened her eyes and glanced around.

Even though it was midnight, there were many people outside the emergency room.

The lights here are very bright and quiet, and the footsteps seem to be very hurried.

There were also one or two painful moans mixed in, which was particularly heart-wrenching.

Zhu Shan subconsciously looked for Ling Xiao.

Then I saw him coming from the end of the corridor.

He was wearing a complete set of silk black and blue pajamas, a long coat on top, and inappropriate sneakers on his feet.

His hair was a little messy, his forehead was covered, and he lowered his eyes to look at the medical records in his hands. The bag containing medicine hung on his wrist, swaying slightly because of his steps.

Where else can we see the arrogant elites in court?

No different than the family members of the patients around them!

Ling Xiao walked closer and took a look at the condition of the infusion bag before sitting down.

He looked very sleepy and his eyelids were creased.

Thinking that he just didn't want to cause trouble to him, that's why he let himself live under his nose. As a result, this happened on the first night...

Zhu Shan lowered her head and stared at the needle on the back of her hand.

She thought, should she prod Ling Xiao again and ask him to drive her out?

She quickly retracted the ridiculous idea.

Because Ling Xiao will only drive her back to SJP.

Therefore, she should not irritate him now, but should please him, saying that she has troubled him tonight, thanking him for his help, and promising that this situation will not happen again in the future.

Just as Zhu Shan was thinking about it, a warm palm suddenly touched her forehead, and she trembled in shock.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Shivering in pain?"

Zhu Shan shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Ling Xiao retracted his hand, leaned back on the chair and relaxed his shoulders, and said with a tired tone, "Hold on for a little longer, there will be about half an hour left."

Zhu Shan nodded and replied thoughtfully, "You too."

Please hold on for another half hour.

Ling Xiao was speechless. He took one look at her and took out his phone and started playing with it.

Only then did Zhu Shan remember the mobile phone she had left in the car. She turned slightly sideways, her eyes passed over Ling Xiaoying's straight face, and finally focused on the screen of his mobile phone.

is a case.

Homicide case.

The deceased was a woman in her forties.

The cause was that the husband of the deceased went to the police station to report that his wife was missing. The police searched for several days and then found the body of the deceased in a nearby abandoned wood factory.

After some investigation, the prosecutor prosecuted the deceased's husband for intentional homicide.

The phone screen shook, Zhu Shan raised her head and met Ling Xiao's scrutinizing gaze.

He tilted his head, "Interested?"

"I'm just curious as to why the deceased's husband was listed as the first suspect in the first place."

Ling Xiao pressed down the screen of his mobile phone and crossed his arms over his chest, "Of course I checked the deceased's social relations."

social relationship?

Zhu Shan's little head was spinning.

Just like her and Ling Xiao. Her current social relations in the country are very simple. If something happens to her, and it is not an accident, then Ling Xiao will become the first suspect suspected by the police.

Zhu Shan nodded and said seriously, "Ling Xiao, don't worry, I can go home and handwrite a letter of commitment. Anything that happens to me has nothing to do with you."

Ling Xiao was startled for a moment, then closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.

Zhu Shan saw that his jawline was sharper due to clenching his teeth, as if he was holding back something.

She quickly added, "You can also record videos!"

Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his eyes sharp, "You only need to ensure that you don't have any problems, that is to solve the problem from the root, do you know?"

Zhu Shan pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

She wasn't going to speak anymore, feeling like Ling Xiao wanted to blow her head off.

After the infusion, while Zhu Shan was taking medicine, Ling Xiao went to return the wheelchair.

After he came back, he stared at Zhu Shan, "Do you want to carry it again?"

Zhu Shan shook her head.

On the way to the parking lot, Ling Xiao obviously slowed down his pace a lot.

As soon as Zhu Shan got in the car, a mobile phone with a strawberry soft rubber case appeared in front of her eyes.

She looked over. Ling Xiao's index finger was hooked on the phone string, with a casual expression.

Zhu Shan took the phone with both hands and said sincerely, "Thank you."

The vehicle was driving in the night.

Zhu Shan leaned back on the chair. After the pain subsided, she felt endless sleepiness.

Ling Xiao glanced at her, "Please take two days off and rest at home."

"No way." Zhu Shan's voice sounded sleepy, "Yesterday was already a day late, and I don't feel any more pain."

"You should rest when you are sick."

Zhu Shan closed her eyes and her voice became softer, as if she was about to fall asleep, "Didn't you say that? The earth does not revolve around me alone. Others can understand my situation, but I cannot rely on others. Understand unbridledness.”

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Zhu Shan.

Her small face was covered in a gray down jacket, her face was a little sickly pale, and her long eyelashes were printed on her eyelids, like small brushes.

Ling Xiao remembered these words.

It was what he said when Zhu Shan's parents died one after another and she refused to go to school, refuse to eat, and refused everything.

She was only fourteen years old at that time.

It's been eight years, but I didn't expect that she could still remember it so clearly.

Ling Xiao looked away and took a deep breath.

It seems that she is very "vindictive".

Zhu Shan slept uncomfortably. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the motionless street lights outside the car window.

She was startled for a moment and straightened up.

Why did you park the car?

Before she could think about it, she heard the car door open.

Zhu Shan looked sideways and saw that Ling Xiao had picked up two convenience store bags and put the things in the back seat of the vehicle.

After Ling Xiao got in the car, Zhu Shan asked, "What did you buy?"

"Daily necessities."

Zhu Shan was really sleepy, so she didn't ask any more questions and closed her eyes again.

After returning home, Ling Xiao took out a pair of women's slippers from the convenience store pocket.

After Zhu Shan changed her clothes, she sincerely thanked her again, "Brother Ling Xiao, thank you very much today."

"Don't say thank you."

"?"

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and told her in a cautious tone, "Keep it in mind."

! ! !

Normally, shouldn't I say 'don't take it to heart'?

Why do you come here with an arrogant look on your face: Keep this in mind!

Ling Xiao is indeed not a normal person.

Zhu Shan cursed in her heart, but smiled sweetly on her face and responded to him perfunctorily, "Okay! I will keep it in mind!"

The next day, the alarm clock on Zhu Shan's cell phone rang on time.

After she pressed it down, she got up.

Zhu Shan opened the door in her pajamas and found that the light outside was on.

Forgot to turn off the lights last night?

She yawned and then heard a sound from the kitchen counter.

Zhu Shan looked over curiously and saw Ling Xiao standing in front of the cooking table.

The small pot in front of him was bubbling, and the smoke was silently sucked into the top mechanism.

Ling Xiao is over 1.8 meters tall and has an excellent head-to-body ratio. He is wearing light-colored home clothes at the moment, which is more sporty and looks very good.

He put one hand on the cooking table and played with his mobile phone with the other.

From Zhu Shan's perspective, he lowered his head slightly, with some broken bangs in front of his forehead, and looked much gentler.

It seems... he doesn't deserve a beating anymore.

Ling Xiao didn't look back, raised his hand on the cooking table, stirred the bottom of the pot, and said in a lazy tone, "Go and wash up first."

Zhu Shan, "???"

Does this person have eyes behind his back?

After Zhu Shan washed up, when she came out again, Ling Xiao was taking out a bowl and chopsticks from the convenience store pocket.

It turns out that I was buying these at that time.

It indeed confirmed what he said last night, he never cooks.

Zhu Shan went back to the room to change clothes.

In fact, she had never really hated Ling Xiao since she was a child.

On the contrary, because Ling Xiao did well in school, no one dared to mess with her or Ling Yue.

The only thing that was difficult for her to accept was the adoption.

That incident not only forced her to go to a strange country, but what made her even more uncomfortable was that she thought that after she lost her original home, the Ling family was her second home. After all, she was in the Ling family, Feel the warmth of family that has been lost and regained.

But it turns out, no.

He was so firmly opposed to her becoming his family, which meant that he had never accepted her as a member of the Ling family.

And the warmth she felt after her family was destroyed instantly turned into charity.

"Ding" the phone rang.

Zhu Shan picked up her phone and saw a WeChat message from Ling's mother.

Ling’s mother: [Shanshan, you just came back, don’t be greedy and eat too much spicy food, your stomach will not be able to bear it, you know? 】

Zhu Shan: [Okay, I understand, it doesn’t hurt anymore. 】

Zhu Shan really likes everyone in the Ling family, and she likes Ling Yue who always loses her temper.

Thinking of Ling Xiao, Zhu Shan took a deep breath, quickly changed into jeans and a velvet hooded sweatshirt, and then left the room.

A casserole, bowls and chopsticks have been placed on the dinner table.

In the bowl was yellow, very thick millet porridge.

Zhu Shan didn't feel awkward, walked over and sat down, "Did you tell Auntie about my gastroenteritis?"

Zhu Shan was ill last night, and only the two of them knew about it.

If it wasn't what she said, it must be what he said.

Ling Xiao turned his back and said nothing.

Zhu Shan's tone was particularly calm, "Aren't there any kimchi?"

Ling Xiao turned around, brought a black David cup over, sat down, and raised his chin, "You still want to eat kimchi? Who was the one who called for life and death last night?"

After speaking, he pushed the David cup in front of Zhu Shan, "Eat for lunch."

Zhu Shan frowned. Just now she saw Ling Xiao filling Dawei's cup with millet porridge.

As if he could see that she was unhappy, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said in a dangerous tone, "Not happy?"

Zhu Shan stiffened as she put the porridge in her mouth, and then responded, "I'm happy to."

Ling Xiao gave a satisfied 'hmm' and tapped the table with his fingers a few times, "On the way, do you want to take a ride?"

Zhu Shan raised her eyes, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and smiled with her eyebrows creasing, "Yes."
