She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

The moment I saw Nannan’s nervous and serious face, my heart felt like it was being pulled by someone.

It is said that there is an invisible connection between relatives, and this feeling is called bond.

I think the meaning of family's existence lies in the warmth, concern and care brought by this kind of bond.

But, things are different now than usual, I can't let them come.

So I tried my best to act natural and smiled easily: "Don't worry, Xuxu just got a stiff neck while sleeping and is in the hospital for treatment. She is not injured or sick. Just stay here..."

"I don't believe it. Xuxu is lying. She's not a good kid." Before I could finish, Nannan interrupted me, "No, Nannan wants to go to the hospital, she has to go!"

She has always been a well-behaved and sensible child, and rarely acts so willfully.

It was also the first time that I felt embarrassed by her willfulness.

My aunt was also worried about me, her face was serious: "Xuxu, you know Nannan's personality, and if you don't let us check on your condition, we won't be at ease."

"I, let's go quickly and come back quickly." My uncle also spoke.

I thought about it and realized that not many people knew about my hospitalization right now, and only Wu Ling knew the ward number. My uncle and aunt said they were just coming to take a look and would not stay too long.

More importantly, I do understand Nannan's personality. She is a little stubborn and must do what she wants to do. If I don't let her come to see me, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight.

So I told my aunt the location of the hospital and the ward number, and made an agreement with my daughter in advance that she could only stay for fifteen minutes after arriving.

After hanging up the call, Wu Ling just came back with a serious expression on his face.

"Xuxu, I've already made the call. The property management said they can watch the surveillance. I'll go over and check it right now. I must catch Lin Xixi guilty. Also, I've arranged for Xiaoya to take over my care of you. You must listen to the doctor's advice and don't move around. Got it?"

I was shocked when I heard this. Wu Ling asked Xiaoya to come to the hospital to take care of me, which was equivalent to letting everyone in the company know that I was injured and hospitalized.

In this way, everyone will definitely come to see me. Lin Xixi will definitely come, and Zhou Hanzhi, as an investor, may also come.

Then you might even run into Nannan.

So I quickly took out my cell phone to send a message to my uncle and aunt, but it was too late. They had already left the nursing home and got on the car to the hospital.

And Nannan was determined not to go back.

My aunt comforted me: "Don't worry, we will be careful when we go there. If we find someone in your ward, we will not go in. We will just look at you from a distance at the door and then turn around and leave."

"Just a glance, okay, Xuxu?" Nannan also pleaded with me timidly.

I thought that since things had come to this point, this was the only way, so I nodded and agreed.

Although Nannan is stubborn, she is trustworthy. She will definitely do what she promised. I can rest assured for the time being.

When my aunt and uncle brought their daughter to my ward, Xiaoya was the only one in my ward.

Xiaoya is also a girl with a good sense of propriety. In order to give us space to talk alone, she went out with a bottle of water.

As soon as the door of the ward was closed, Nannan rushed over and hugged my arms.

There was a layer of mist in her bright black eyes, and her nasal voice was filled with worry and sadness: "Xu Xu, what's wrong with your neck?"

"Yes, what's going on? Xuxu, tell me." My uncle's face was serious and there was suspicion and inquiry in his eyes.

My aunt kept checking the injuries on my body, even the abrasion on my knee, with a look of heartache on her face. After a moment, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

There was a sad and heavy atmosphere lingering in the ward.

I rubbed my daughter's head and smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, I told you it wasn't a big deal. You were worried and had to come to see me. It was because I went home too late last night and the light on the staircase was broken. I accidentally missed a step and fell down, which led to my injury. But the doctor also said that my neck sprain was not serious, and I will be discharged after two days of observation and treatment."

"Really? Can I be discharged from the hospital in two days?" Nannan asked eagerly, opening her dark and bright eyes.

I pinched her soft little face and said, "Yes, she will be discharged from the hospital in two days. I will give her a video call then."

Nannan seemed to believe what I said. Auntie was afraid that I would sprain my neck, so she held Xuxu in her arms.

Only my uncle didn't believe me and continued to ask, "Don't you have an elevator? Why are you taking the stairs?"

This question stumped me. Generally, most people take the elevator, and few people take the stairs.

I lived in that building for several months and hardly ever walked up the stairs.

I could only tell another lie: "I pressed the elevator button but it didn't work. It seemed like there was a problem with the elevator, so I took the stairs. But it was dark and I was a little tired. I didn't see where I was stepping and I fell."

"Really, you really weren't pushed down by someone?" My uncle's eyes were sharp at this moment, staring at me, making my heart panic.

Of course, people who tell lies feel guilty.

But I know my uncle's temper. He already had a grudge against Lin Xixi's family. If he knew that I was pushed down the stairs by Lin Xixi, he would definitely rush to the Lin family to ask for an explanation. I haven't found any evidence that Lin Xixi pushed me, so I can't say this for the time being.

So I nodded randomly: "Of course not, I fell down by myself."

"Xuxu, you, you are lying. Something is not right with you recently. Is someone seeking revenge against you?" My uncle opened his eyes wide, and because he was anxious, he spoke even more incoherently.

"How could that be? My mind is always on work. I have always been kind to others and never made enemies. How could someone retaliate against me? Please don't worry about me and don't make random guesses, okay? So I promise you, next time I walk, I will be careful where I step, okay?" I tried to act natural.

Of course, you have to be careful where you step, especially when there are villains around.

Otherwise, I was lucky this time and only sprained my neck, but next time, my neck might be broken.

The small white flowers that look soft on the surface may be the most poisonous.

The suspicion in my uncle's eyes became even stronger, and he was about to say something, but Xiaoya's surprised voice suddenly sounded outside the ward.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you here? Are you here to see Sister Nanxu?"

A trembling voice reminded me that Zhou Hanzhi was coming?

Judging from what Xiaoya said, Zhou Hanzhi should have been here for a while, but was just standing outside the door and didn't come in.

Did he hear anything?

I was completely panicked when I heard this. The thing I was most worried about finally happened.

The expressions of my aunt and uncle also became panicked in an instant, and my aunt subconsciously hugged Nannan tighter.

The door of the ward opened, and Xiaoya politely led Zhou Hanzhi in.
