Chapter 296 The last life-saving straw
In the ward, Old Mrs. He tucked in the corner of the quilt for He Zhao, feeling both distressed and relieved.
"Xiao Zhao, I heard that you were washed away by the water because you were trying to save a little girl. Good boy, you are a good boy of our He family."
He Zhao was a little embarrassed by the praise: "That's nothing. But grandma, you have to give me some advice. Otherwise, I won't go to the eastern suburbs to help."
Old Mrs. He poured him a glass of warm water: "Grandma is someone who has been here before, so of course she understands. This girl's heart must be moved slowly. You just need to listen to me and take it step by step. You will be right."
He Zhao nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
The grandfather and grandson were chatting happily and did not notice anything strange outside the door.
Mrs. Gu hid outside the door and looked inside quietly.
She looked at He Zhao in his hospital gown, and her heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles, causing her to ache terribly.
This old lady from the He family is as cruel as ever, even her grandson is willing to push her out!
As she thought about it, she felt extremely sad and quietly clenched the hem of her clothes.
Now she can no longer rely on the Gu family, she can only rely on He Zhao from now on. This is her last straw, she must hold on to it tightly!
Before she could take a few more glances, there were rustling footsteps behind her. She quickly wiped the moisture from the end of her eyes and fled the corridor as fast as she could.
……
Inside the Wen family villa.
As soon as Ning Xi changed her clothes, she was surrounded by several people, asking if she was injured. Ning Xi quickly turned around to show them: "Am I fine? Don't worry."
How could Mrs. Wen not be worried? When she heard that her granddaughter was washed away by the water, she was so anxious that she almost fainted.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go alone. If I go with you, I can keep an eye on you and you won't suffer this."
Ning Xi hugged her back and comforted her: "It's okay, grandma. I also need to experience myself, and I can't hide under your wings all my life. Now that I have grown up, it is my turn to protect you from the wind and rain."
Mrs. Wen was very moved by what she said. She patted her hand and said, "Okay, our Xiao Xi is the most capable."
Ning Xi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Lao Jiang, how is he?"
Ning Xi had a good impression of this old employee who was determined to stick to the factory.
Wen Qingqing touched her hair: "He's fine, the rescuers brought him out. Hey, this old Jiang is also a very loyal person. When he came out, he held the production secrets high up, for fear that they would touch water. If he hadn't been here this time, it would probably take a lot of effort to rebuild the factory."
Ning Xi thought for a moment and asked, "This secret is so important, why not upload it directly to the network cloud disk? This will be more convenient and faster."
Old Mrs. Wen shook her head: "Xiao Xi, you don't know. This secret has always been kept by Lao Jiang. We tried to store the secret on the Internet before, but he didn't know the technology of electronic information, so we had to ask someone to guard it. But outsiders are unreliable after all. Once, the secret was almost leaked to the opponent. Since then, I never dared to try again."
"It's better to just lock it in the safe and let Lao Jiang watch it every day. Who would have thought that there would be a flood this time... Alas."
"It's okay. Let's choose a place with good feng shui this time. We will be in harmony in the future!"
The atmosphere was stirred up by Ning Xi, and the gloom and mist in the room was swept away.
While several people were talking and laughing, the doorbell rang.
Wen Qingqing was the first to stand up and open the door: "It must be your uncle who is back!"
Wen Mochen had greeted her in advance, and he arrived at the expected time. When he opened the door, he and Ning Miaofu were both rosy-cheeked, smiling, and holding a few bags in their hands. It was obvious that they were having a very pleasant honeymoon.
When Mrs. Wen saw her son like this, she joked: "Mo Chen, did you have fun on this vacation? I think you are in better spirits!"
"That's right, it's the world of just two newlyweds." Wen Qingqing continued with a smile.
Ning Miaofu was shy and immediately felt embarrassed. She curled her ears and said, "Sister, why are you joining mom in making fun of me?"
Ning Xi smiled and said, "This is not a joke, I'm telling the truth. Aunt, you have indeed become more beautiful."
"Xiao Xi's mouth is the sweetest."
"Stop teasing her." Wen Mochen turned to look at Ning Xi and said with concern, "Xiao Xi, I heard that there was a flood in the factory in the eastern suburbs, and it was you who took care of it. How is it? I didn't suffer anything. Hurt?"
Ning Xi said softly: "I went to the hospital and it's fine."
Wen Mochen watched her grow from an ignorant and immature girl to the shrewd and capable President Ning, and even be able to work independently outside the company. He was both pleased and sad: "You have worked so hard. Here, this is our birthday gift for you."
Ning Xi opened the two boxes he handed over one by one. One of them contained a complete set of yellow sapphire and diamond jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings, all of which were dazzling under the light.
Ning Xi couldn't help but exclaimed, this kind of yellow sapphire, in such abundant quantity, is simply out of stock.
Wen Mochen chuckled: "Do you like it?"
Ning Xi said: "Uncle, this is too expensive."
"You have grown very fast these days, and you have worked hard for the company and the Wen family. Uncle has seen it all, and this is what you deserve."
This sentence must have made Ning Xi feel prouder than any gift. She could not refuse and thanked him happily: "Thank you, uncle. I will definitely work harder to manage the company better."
Ning Miaofu gave her a bottle of specially blended rose perfume. It was handmade by the perfume shop and was unique. The scent was fragrant and charming.
Ning Xi tried spraying it and felt the fragrance was fragrant, as if she was in a sea of roses.
"I think this flavor suits you." Ning Miaofu rolled her eyes.
Ning Xi put on the perfume: "It smells so good, I can't bear to use it."
A few people were chatting back and forth. Wen Mochen talked about the unique beauty he had seen during his vacation. For a while, everyone listened with interest.
Suddenly, the rapid ringing of the telephone interrupted them.
Wen Mochen picked up the phone and his expression became a little solemn after listening to just two sentences.
"Okay, I get it, I'll take care of it."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Xi looked at him with some confusion: "Uncle, what happened?"
Wen Mochen looked worried: "Someone from the detention center called and said that there was a suspicious person in the detention center, and it seemed that he was trying to help Wen Fuheng escape from prison."
Everyone was stunned: "What?"
Ning Xi hurriedly asked: "He didn't succeed, did he?"
"No, but the suspicious person hasn't been caught either. Perhaps he will come back again."
Old Mrs. Wen was heartbroken: "This kid really refuses to repent!"
Ning Xi went over and patted the old lady's back gently, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Uncle, now that something has happened, we can't sit still and wait for death."
