my naughty female president

Chapter 123: The Price of Life

After I got home and washed up briefly, I felt a little hungry, and I didn't bother to go downstairs to have dinner. There was still a bucket of instant noodles in the refrigerator, so I could barely handle dinner.

Lying in bed, I thought that this trip to Beijing went smoothly. Not only did the Fatty Zhang incident greatly improve the status of our branch in the group, it has become a benchmark for all branches, and Mu Xichun’s proposal to form a construction team also went smoothly. pass.

It seems that I may be busy for a while in the future, but when I think of what Mu Xichun said to let me execute and manage the construction company, I can't help but feel inspired. Not only is the lack of self-confidence before swept away, but I am full of confidence.

Thinking that I will also belong to the top of the company in the future, I can't help being a little excited.

As long as I make achievements by myself and prove my ability in front of Mu Zhongren, I believe that Mu Zhongren will reconsider the matter between Mu Xichun and me, even if it is just to change some of his views on himself, it is good.

The so-called steel embankment collapsed in the ant's nest, as long as a crack is opened, I believe that as long as I persevere, I will eventually be able to make him accept me.

Thinking of a bright future, I laughed unconsciously.

At this moment, it was completely dark outside the window, replaced by street lights and neon lights that gradually lit up, re-illuminating the world with colorful lights.

I forcibly withdraw my fantasy and prepare to rest so that I can meet the coming good luck in the best state.

Just when I closed my eyes, I remembered that the alarm clock of my mobile phone hadn’t been turned on. I took the mobile phone and found that I had turned off the mobile phone when I boarded the plane in Beijing and hadn’t turned it on until now, so I turned it on again to set the alarm clock.

Only after finishing these things did I feel that everything was ready, and then I lay down again.

Just when my consciousness dissipated and I was about to fall asleep, the phone rang suddenly and quickly.

I fumbled for the phone in a daze, and squinted to see that it was Li Liang who was calling, and I didn't know what the boy was calling at this time.

"Old Wei, have you come back from Beijing?" Li Liang asked urgently before I pressed the answer button, as if she had something important to tell me.

"You just got back, what's the matter?"

"Did Annie look for you?" After hearing my answer, Li Liang asked immediately.

"No, what happened?" From Li Liang's tone, I could tell that something must have happened to Annie, and I couldn't help feeling sleepy all of a sudden.

"I just found out that something happened to Annie's father!"

I was surprised. Although I had prepared in my heart, I was still shocked to hear the result.

"Is it still being investigated? Is there any result? Is it serious?" I asked anxiously.

"What was investigated? That's the lie that Annie's father deliberately lied to her in order to allow Annie to accept the inheritance he specially left to her!" Li Liang on the other end of the phone became a little emotional.

"Inheritance? What inheritance?" I was puzzled.

"..."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and my heart gradually sank following his silence, and an ominous premonition suddenly flashed in my head!

"What inheritance? What do you mean? Tell me quickly!" I asked eagerly.

"Annie's father...is dead!" Li Liang said in a low tone after a long silence.

There was a thud in my heart, like a thunderbolt, it hit my heart all at once!My whole body couldn't help but twitched.

"What, what's going on? Why is it like this? Tell me quickly!" I was a little incoherent, and my brain went blank for an instant. I never expected this result anyway.

Annie had clearly said before that he was only violating discipline and was being investigated by the organization. Why did things suddenly develop like this?It suddenly occurred to me that Li Liang seemed to have said just now that Annie's father lied to Annie so that she could accept his inheritance.

In this way, there was no violation of discipline at all, but another reason, and he couldn't help urging Li Liang loudly: "What happened? You said it!"

I heard Li Liang's silent sigh on the other end of the phone, and then I spoke slowly.

"Annie called me in the evening and asked where I was. I said I went back to my hometown. She asked me where are you? Why can't you get through your phone? I said you went to Beijing on a business trip. When you came back this afternoon, the phone called It doesn't work probably because you're on the plane back."

"Annie's tone on the phone was very sad. I asked Annie what happened, but she didn't speak, she just cried..." Li Liang's tone suddenly became sad.

"In the end, she just said: I only have you guys left..."

"No matter how I asked, she still didn't tell me what happened. I was worried that something might happen to her, so I told her that you were on an afternoon flight. You should have come back by this time. I asked her to go to your place first."

"Fortunately, I have the contact information of Annie's father. I was worried about Annie's condition, so I called his father's phone number. His father's wife, her stepmother, answered the call. That's when I found out..."

Li Liang fell into silence again, and I understood that probably Li Liang's emotions couldn't support him to finish everything in one breath.

I didn't urge him anymore, but waited silently for him to calm down, and I was also silently brewing my own emotions, so as not to be unable to bear the facts it was about to say.

"Annie's father didn't violate any discipline at all. He had a brain tumor, and it was discovered only recently. When he was discovered, he was in a very dangerous situation. Surgery was necessary, but the tumor is in a key part of the brain, and the risk of surgery is very high... "

"The operation was scheduled three days ago. He didn't inform Annie before the operation, because he came to Annie a few days ago, but he didn't get Annie's understanding. Maybe he blamed himself. He thought that if the operation was successful, he would inform Annie again. It's not too late, if the operation fails, there is no need for it, because Annie once told him that this is what he deserves..."

"However, the operation did not go well. Not long after the craniotomy, before the tumor was removed, a brain herniation formed in the brain, and the operation was unsuccessful..."

"The news was informed by Annie's stepmother, asking her to come see her father for the last time. Annie received a call from her stepmother. When he arrived, he was already dying. After seeing his daughter, he soon disappeared. vital signs……"

"It's only now that I know why Annie hasn't answered my calls for the past few days. She is busy with her father's funeral, so how can she take care of other things..."

Li Liang finally finished speaking. On both ends of the phone, he and I fell into a long silence. My heart sank bit by bit. Why is this happening?Why did this kind of thing happen to Annie?

Although I know that Annie hates his father, but if he is close to his blood, where can he hate him?This is nothing more than another way of expressing family affection, and to put it bluntly, it is just a little misunderstanding between each other.

However, the way to solve this misunderstanding is so cruel that it costs a person his life.

Now, this misunderstanding has been relieved with the passing of one person's life, but from now on, in another person's life, he will always be burdened with self-blame, and there is no chance to let it go.

Whose fault is this?

"You didn't see Annie? She clearly said on the phone that she would look for you? Why didn't she go!" Li Liang asked again.

At the end, he seemed to suddenly think of something important, and said urgently: "Old Wei, go to Annie's house quickly, she is very unstable now, you must watch her, and don't let her do anything. What a fool!"

After hearing Li Liang's words, I suddenly woke up from my dazed mood, shouted to the phone: "I'll go right away!" and hung up the phone.

I got up in a panic, put on a t-shirt and hurried out the door, only to find that I was still barefoot when I got outside, and hurriedly took out the key to open the door, but at this moment, my heart was as chaotic as thousands of bugs. Crawling, the brain seemed to be filled with mercury and heavy, and the hand holding the key trembled for a long time before being able to insert it into the lock.

Waiting to re-enter the room, hastily put on a pair of shoes, didn't even bother to put on socks, and ran to the stairs.

While running downstairs with unbalanced legs, he said silently in his heart: Annie, you must not be in trouble, please do not, brother will be there soon!must wait for me...

When I came downstairs, I didn't care about the curious eyes cast on me by people walking their dogs in the community, and rushed straight to the gate of the community.

When passing through the small square of the community, a group of uncles and aunts are doing fitness exercises or chatting together.Seeing this scene inadvertently, I suddenly thought of something, a flash of lightning flashed in my heart and brain, I stopped abruptly, my body that was rushing forward abruptly stopped in place, and there was a buzzing sound in my head.

I suddenly remembered the figure I accidentally saw when Mu Xichun and I came back, that figure was exactly the same as Annie's in terms of figure and walking aura.

At the same time, what Li Liangfang said to me just now sounded in my mind: You haven't seen Annie?She clearly said on the phone that she would go to you?Why didn't she go?
Could it be?Could it be?my God……

All the clues were connected at this moment, and that figure must be Annie.

Then, no doubt she must have also seen the scene where Mu Xichun hung on me and asked me to kiss her like a baby. She didn't come to see me but left in a hurry, which obviously confirmed this point.

My head was even more chaotic at the moment, I looked around blindly, my feet couldn't help spinning around in place, and I hit my head hard with my fist a few times, but the chaotic thoughts in my brain still didn't calm down at all.

why?why?Annie saw it all!She knows it all!Why at this time, why at this time when she was saddest?what do I do?what do I do?
I feel dizzy and can hardly stand still. People around me seem to be pointing at me, and they seem to be laughing at me. They say that the voice seems to be infinitely elongated by a magical force, turning into sharp strange sounds Drilling straight into my brain, it almost gave me a splitting headache.

I covered my head with my hands, and tried hard to calm myself down, but my brain was out of control again, and the feeling of dizziness became more intense.

In a trance, I suddenly saw a pool of water under the fountain on the rockery not far from me. I staggered forward and plunged my head into the pool. I immersed my head in the water for a full minute. It wasn't until I spit out the last trace of air in my lungs, which made me feel suffocated, that I pulled my head out of the water violently.
