After rebirth, I found that the whole world wants to kill me [gl]
Chapter 18 Day 8 After Rebirth
Xiao Group headquarters, top floor.
A woman in a dark formal suit stood in front of the glass window, listening to the voice of the report on the phone.
Afterwards, while the other party was waiting for a response, she looked into the distance, remained silent for a few seconds before replying in a cold voice: "It's okay, since he can't wait to come up with something, I will wait for him."
After hanging up the phone, she was about to turn around and sit on the office chair to continue her work, when her phone rang again.
Glancing at the phone screen, Xiao Shixin's eyes felt a little warmer when he saw the name dancing on it.
"Auntie." She swiped the answer button, and the warmth in her eyes fell on her lips, almost drawing an upward arc.
The tone of the person over there was very gentle, and even more intimate: "Xinxin, do you have time at noon? Your uncle is going to be discharged from the hospital today, and I can't help him. You, why don't you make a trip?" We are in the hospital, just come to us for lunch at noon."
Xiao Shixin was not surprised by this result at all, but replied quite calmly: "Aunt? Is uncle here now?"
She still remembered the doctor's instructions yesterday afternoon, but the family members were discharged from the hospital right now. Wasn't this making trouble with her?
"Not here, he saw that I was going to call you just now, so he found an excuse and ran away." The aunt betrayed her husband quite calmly.
Xiao Shixin: "..."
After breathing calmly for several rounds, she replied calmly: "Okay, I see, I'll be there in a while."
"Hey! Then your uncle and I will wait for you at home. Be careful driving on the road." Hearing her answer, the woman's voice became more gentle, and the tone of the response was even full of expectation.
It's exactly the state of a parent waiting for their child to come home.
Xiao Shixin hung up the phone, thinking of the report he had received earlier, the warmth in his eyes faded little by little.
At this moment, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, looking at her standing by the desk with bright eyes: "Mr. Xiao, the invitation letter for the S University celebration has just arrived. What is your plan...?"
"I'll be there on time, you can arrange it." Xiao Shixin was half-bending over the documents on the table, signed the most urgent one, and then put down his pen.
After Lily responded, she added another sentence: "Cancel my arrangement before two o'clock this afternoon."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao." Lily nodded, and took a pen to record it in the notebook.
Gaosheng Group Building, in the office on the top floor.
The girl with long black curly hair was sitting on the sofa, with her legs crossed and a straw in her mouth, happily drinking the strawberry milkshake that her assistant brother ran down to buy, as if she was sitting on the sofa in her own lobby.
It wasn't until the bottom was heard with a ziliu that he loosened his teeth unsatisfied.Looking down at the time displayed on the phone, she dragged her voice and shouted: "Brother——"
There was an obvious coquettish urging in the voice, which deliberately exaggerated the impatience.
Tang Xiaozhang was sitting behind the desk, and almost as soon as she spoke, the sound of the pen cap being put on was heard clearly, and after she finished speaking, she had already stood up from behind the desk.
He took off the clothes on the back of the chair casually, and he got up and walked towards her, his deep voice played a doting tone in the room: "Let's go."
The girl jumped up happily, and impatiently walked towards him, holding an empty cup in one hand, and tugging at his sleeve with the other, "Let's go and have a big meal!"
When going out, the empty plastic cup drew a pleasant arc in mid-air and fell into the trash can not far away.
"What do you want to eat?" Tang Xiaozhang also asked according to her preferences.
She rolled her eyes, took out her mobile phone, and said with a smile, "Wait, let me ask Tang Xiaoyu what he wants to eat most now."
Tang Xiaozhang: ...? ? ?
Four or 10 minutes later, when they were sitting in the restaurant, he heard a roar that was still clearly coming from the other party's mobile phone even if it was not playing:
"Tang Xiaoran! Just wait for me!"
The girl didn't care at all, and even happily sent a voice to the person who was eating the boxed lunch at the moment: "Oh, look how good I am to you, sister. I remember your hardships when I eat, so I came here to help you eat What do you want to eat the most right now~"
Tang Xiaoyu raised the phone three times, and finally let go of the poor phone under the persuasion of a friend next to him.
"Brother Yu, it's new this month! It's new! You can send as many as you want!"
He took three deep breaths, expressionlessly pressed the lid of the plastic lunch box in front of him that was even unpalatable to boiled vegetables, and announced: "One more rehearsal in the afternoon."
All the members of the student union around: "...!" Who on earth provoked their boss just now!
On the other side, after sitting in the restaurant and playing tricks on his younger brother who didn't want to accompany him to the company, Tang Xiaoran, who was physically and mentally comfortable, waved to the waiter for another cup of tea.
Brother Tang, who watched Tang Xiaoran successfully bully his younger brother again, shook his head helplessly.
The girl in a good mood took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea leisurely. The sweetness of the rock sugar added in it was soaked, and a trace of it spread on the tongue when she swallowed it. After swallowing, the fragrance and sweetness remained in her mouth.
Only then did she remember what was going on, and she planned to say hello to her elder brother before dinner was served.
"By the way, brother, I didn't just skip class and be lazy. I have something to tell you."
Tang Xiaozhang closed the menu in his hand and handed it to the waiter, and nodded at her, indicating that it's okay for her to speak up.
"Do you remember that day, the day you were called home by your father in anger, where did you park your car when you came back?" Tang Xiaoran rested her chin on one hand, pinched the top edge of the glass with her thumb and index finger on the other hand, and gently Swirling the tea in the glass, his eyes shifted slightly following the shaking of the water.
Tang Xiaozhang's memory of that day is very deep, not to mention the scene of parking the car when returning home, and even the conversation in the study, he can still restore it to a very good degree.
"I planned to drive directly into the garage, but Xiao Zheng, who was cleaning the garden, said that my father was in a hurry to find me, and told me not to worry about these trivial matters, and handed him the car keys, and he helped me drive into the garage."
"What's the matter?" Tang Xiaozhang finished repeating the words in his memory, and watched his sister stop shaking the water glass in her hand, and a trace of coldness flashed across her star-like eyes.
Tang Xiaoran slowly put the cup in his hand on the table, knocked it softly, and slowly raised his eyes to meet his elder brother's.
There was no warmth on the lips, and he said unhurriedly: "But, Xiaoyu said, until you and I entered the study and came out again, the car was still parked downstairs."
The conversation had already begun, and she finished in one breath: "Brother, if I didn't go in with you that day, do you think that with your unwillingness to explain, and your desire to protect Brother Gu Heng, you would be against Dad?" Scolding in anger, what will be the answer?"
"You'd be kicked out of your house, walk up to the door and drive that car away without even thinking about it."
"The car you gave the keys to someone else."
After a pause for a few seconds, her lips curled up coldly, and her dark brown eyes were equally devoid of emotion: "What's even more amazing is that the next day, Brother Xiao Zheng's roommate called me Uncle Zhao said that Brother Zheng broke his leg the night before, so he needs to take a week of sick leave."
For some reason, Tang Xiaozhang suddenly felt the chill of escaping from the sky.
However, at this moment, Xiaoran's eyes on the opposite side are more piercing than his chill of being almost calculated by others. He doesn't know why the girl who was still acting like a baby to him before can change to such a degree now.
It's as if...she's been through something more sinister than this.
Tang Xiaozhang felt an unspeakable guilt in his heart. He felt that he hadn't protected his family at all, whether it was Xiaoran or Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoran, if you can trust me, let me investigate this matter, okay?"
Facing Tang Xiaozhang's eyes, she was somewhat embarrassed.
She knew that her eldest brother wanted to protect them, and didn't want them to see something too dark at their age.
but--
"Brother... There are too many mice sneaking in at home, and the incident involved has a lot to do with you, so..." I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience or something else, but she can't help it when she talks. He paused, and even had to take body movements, stretching out his hand and gesticulating in the air.
Tang Xiaozhang was silent for a long time, the silence made Tang Xiaoran a little scared, he didn't know what to say to break the air that seemed to be glued together.
In the end, she put her chin on the dining table a little discouraged, and said sullenly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I don't want to expose your scars... But things are getting complicated, and we don't know who is trying to harm us. Our own family is split-split, so wouldn't that just give the other party points?"
"Brother, we brothers and sisters will work hard together, okay?"
Seeing this, Tang Xiaozhang walked out of his own thoughts, leaned over, reached out and touched her head, and replied slowly: "Okay."
"Really?" Tang Xiaoran got permission, her eyes lit up, she sat up straight and asked again.
"Well, I wasn't blaming you just now." Tang Xiaozhang nodded slightly and explained.
His eyes fell on the clear tea soup in his cup, and he remembered many years ago, when he was still obsessed with his own origin.
Unexpectedly, after many years, this point has never been bypassed.
Only this time, not for himself, but for his family - working hard to protect his family.
Tang Xiaoran couldn't hear what he was thinking, but was happy to get what he wanted. He drank the tea like wine, picked up an appetizing peanut with his chopsticks, chewed and even wanted to hum.
After swallowing, she resolutely said: "I will ask Xiaoyu to send you the current progress when I go back."
Tang Xiaozhang only said yes.
Hearing the elder brother's indulgent answer today, Tang Xiaoran always felt that her conscience was about to ache. In order to calm down the shock, she clapped her hands and said:
"Let's not talk about the unhappy things at home, let's talk about other people's family gossip to have fun—"
She blinked and looked at Tang Xiaozhang expectantly:
"Brother, do you know what's going on at Xiao Shixin's house?"
