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

Before answering my aunt's call, I had a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, because my aunt has always been a very considerate person. She knows that I am usually busy with work, and if it is not something particularly important, she will not easily call to disturb me.

But I didn’t expect that the one who got into trouble was not Nannan or her, but my uncle.

"What's wrong with uncle? Aunt, don't panic, just tell me slowly." My heart skipped a beat and I asked hurriedly.

But a guess quickly popped up in my mind.

Could the accident involving my uncle be related to that Ah Sheng?

Sure enough, after a brief pause and calming down, my aunt told me everything: "Your uncle was tricked by that Ah Sheng into investing with me. He also used all my money to invest in the project. As a result, something went wrong with the project..."

My heart tightened again, it was indeed that Ah Sheng.

Last time I told my uncle that we should not make this kind of investment and should keep a distance from this Ah Sheng. I even watched my uncle return the other party’s money and made things clear to him. Why is my uncle getting involved with this Ah Sheng again and continuing to invest in projects with him?

"Last time you asked him not to do it, he did return the money, but then he saw that Ah Sheng made money from three projects in a row, and the income was directly deposited into his account, and it was very high, so your uncle was tempted again." On the other end of the phone, my aunt seemed to have guessed my thoughts and continued, "He said that it is not easy for Xuxu to make money, and that the new nursing home that Nannan and I moved to is very expensive, so he wanted to reduce some of the burden on you."

I felt really angry and sad when I heard that.

What made me angry was that my uncle was disobedient. I had already pulled him out of the trap and risk. As long as he kept his hands to himself, he would be safe. But I didn't expect that he couldn't resist the temptation and jumped back in.

The sad thing is that the fundamental reason why my uncle couldn't resist the temptation was not his greed, but that he wanted to help me share the pressure. He couldn't resist the temptation and jumped in for my sake.

"This is also my fault. At that time, your uncle still remembered your reminder and only dared to invest in two small projects. The cycles of those two projects were very short, the funds were received quickly, and the rate of return was very high. Your uncle and I felt that Ah Sheng was still reliable, so when Ah Sheng approached your uncle to discuss a big project, we agreed." The aunt's tone became self-blaming and apologetic, "If I had been more rational and sober at the time, this would not have happened."

At this moment, I understood why my aunt was a little hesitant when she mentioned my uncle the last time I called her.

It seems that my uncle had already invested in the project at that time, and my aunt knew all these things.

My uncle's so-called side job was not doing manual labor on the construction site, but participating in the investment of that project. He should have gone to the construction site to check out the project that day.

No wonder my uncle was so generous that day, insisting that he had made money and refusing to let me pay the bill. At that time, he had fallen into the other party's trap without knowing it.

I sighed deeply in my heart and couldn't say any words of blame.

Whether it is my aunt or uncle, they did this for me and our family. In the final analysis, it is my fault. If I could earn more, if I could give my aunt and uncle more sense of security, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about money.

But it's too late to say anything now. Fortunately, this matter is not too serious.

"Aunt, it's okay. It's just that I lost some money. You can earn money again. As long as my uncle is okay, I'm glad." I kept my tone steady and comforted my aunt.

All my previous profits were given to my aunt. In fact, the total amount is not a small sum, but compared with my uncle's safety, it is nothing. I can continue to make money, speed up the progress of new projects, and get the profits earlier. As long as my uncle is safe, it's fine.

But my aunt sobbed softly: "Xuxu, I'm so sorry for you. We all wanted to help you, but we didn't know things would turn out like this. I really can't face you."

"Aunt, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you and uncle, I wouldn't have made it, and I wouldn't have achieved what I have now. What's mine is yours. This little money is really okay. The new project is almost coming to an end. When the project goes public, we will have more money, more than we can spend. The little loss is nothing at all." I immediately stopped my aunt and said, "The most important thing now is that you and uncle are both fine. You stay in the nursing home and take care of our daughter. I'll go see uncle right away. This matter is not that serious. I'll take care of it."

My aunt is still not allowed to leave the nursing home at will, so it would be better for me to handle what happened to my uncle.

After hanging up the phone, I left the company directly and rushed to my uncle's workplace. On the way, I called You He.

You He obviously knew about this, and he was full of regret on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, Xuxu, I didn't take good care of Uncle Jiao."

"It's not your fault. He didn't even tell you about the investment because he kept it a secret from me." I interrupted Youhe and told him, "But I'm afraid something has happened to my uncle. I called him just now but no one answered. Youhe, can you help me check on him? I'm on my way now."

I don't feel sorry for the money, but my uncle does. This lesson is a big one, and I'm worried that he will be too depressed to get over the self-blame.

That would be a really big deal.

You He said quickly, "It's okay, Xuxu, don't worry. I've already arrived at the door of Uncle Jiao's residence. I saw him through the window, so he should be fine for now... Uncle Jiao, what's wrong with you?"

My heart, which had just slowly calmed down, was lifted up again. My mind was in a panic as I listened to Yuhe's out-of-control and distorted words.

Something really happened to my uncle.

Finally, I rushed to my uncle's residence. He was carried out by Youhe and another colleague. He looked pale and silent.

At this time, the ambulance also arrived at the scene. I saw Yu He holding an empty sleeping pill box and telling the doctor: "The patient swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills."

The ambulance sped into the hospital and my uncle was rushed in for gastric lavage. I stood outside the operating room, feeling as if frozen by ice, stiff and numb.

"Xuxu, don't worry. Uncle Jiao had just finished eating when he was found. He will be fine after a gastric lavage." You He stood beside me and comforted me in a low voice, "At this critical moment, you have to hold on, otherwise..."

"You He." I seemed to suddenly come to my senses, turned my head and stared into You He's eyes, "Aunt and Nan Nan must not know about this."

Yuhe nodded immediately.

My eyes flickered, and I looked at the colleague standing next to me who worked in the same unit as my uncle, and immediately thought of another person: "Where's Ah Sheng? Why isn't he here?"
