Nepotism

Xu Jingjing is from the south, her parents have passed away, and she grew up with her uncle and aunt.

In the past, Ou Hong seldom asked about Xu Jingjing's family background, but as long as he recalled that when he called her every Chinese New Year, she was always there on call, and he could see that the relationship between Xu Jingjing and her uncle and aunt was very ordinary.

Ou Hong didn't know whether Xu Jingjing's appearance in S city was related to these few relatives. He didn't know the names of Xu Jingjing's family members, so he had to ask someone to check Xu Jingjing's remittance records.

Although he doesn't know much about Xu Jingjing's growth experience, based on Ou Hong's understanding of her, no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, Xu Jingjing will definitely try his best to repay this debt of favor when the other party raises her. Sure enough, the news finally spread to Ou Hong In front of him, he was a little delighted. Xu Jingjing's remittance records really had a person surnamed Xu, but it was not a man who was over half a hundred years old, but a girl who was about the same age as Xu Jingjing. Coincidentally, in this world There is really a person named Xu Qingqing on the Internet.

For this reason, Ou Hong made a special trip to City S, and tried every means to find Xu Qingqing.

The two of them were sitting in the viewing restaurant in Linjiang, City S. The girl opposite looked somewhat similar to Xu Jingjing, but perhaps because of her nervousness, she looked a little shy.

"What is your relationship with Xu Jingjing?" Ou Hong asked

Looking at the well-dressed and elegantly mannered man in front of her, Xu Qingqing became cautious, "Xu Jingjing is, she is my sister."

"Cousin?"

"Um."

After lunch, Ou Hong has already figured out the connection.

Xu Jingjing's last appearance in City S was indeed at her uncle's house, but it was a pity that she was also there to say goodbye.

She will send money to her cousins ​​on a regular basis every month, which is regarded as a reward for her uncle and aunt raising her. The amount of money will not be too much or too little each time. It was time to improve their lives, and a few months ago, she suddenly came to City S, and left Xu Qingqing a bank card with a lot of money in it, and she also said her final farewell.

Ou Hong's hope was shattered again. He thought he could find clues, but in the end he still found nothing.

"What's the relationship between you and my sister?" After some conversation, Xu Qingqing had let go of her initial cautiousness and looked at the man in front of her curiously.

Seeing that the other party was dazed for a while because of a question of his own, he didn't give an answer in the end.

"I hope that one day I can answer your question." Ou Hong smiled.

Coming out of the restaurant, Ou Hong stood beside the car and smoked a cigarette.

The early winter in the south was extremely cold, and Ou Hong felt that it was colder than City B.

After returning to the car and turning on the heater, Ou Hong felt better.

He got the news and drove here day and night, leaning on the car seat at this moment, but he didn't feel tired at all, he felt that he was about to go numb.

Time to go back.

Ou Hong put his hands on the steering wheel and was about to leave when a phone call happened.

Ning Xuan's nervousness was soothed, and early the next morning, she woke Qi Lan from the bed.

"Do you have any plans recently?" Ning Xuan asked.

Qi Lan was puzzled.

arrangement?

What arrangement?

"Work schedule?" Qi Lan asked.

Ning Xuan nodded.

Ning Xuan just woke up from her sleep and still hasn't woken up. With a dazed face, she began to recall her recent arrangements.

The concert was over early, and Xie Ling's solo album was also going well. Some emails for song invitations had to be screened with Cheng Song. The only thing that was put on paper was the collaboration song with Huo Xin.

But this is still very early to say, the previous wind forest and mountain fires were in the summer, and it was very lively. Now Huo Xin means to promote the single in the early spring of March, with one single that suits the season at that time every year. After thinking about it, Qi Lan thought this idea was very interesting, but it was still early, and there were still several months to prepare.

"It seems that there is no work. I have already discussed with Cheng Song about the New Year's Eve activities. I will not participate in any of them this year, so I can enjoy the leisure time behind the scenes." After thinking about it, Qi Lan's eyes gradually became focused , is completely awake.

"Great." Ning Xuan was also very happy.

Seeing that she was so interested, Qi Lan hugged her in her arms, "What are your plans? Is there any place you want to go?"

"You accompany me back to Lingshui." Ning Xuan said

"Now?" Qi Lan was taken aback.

Ning Xuan nodded, her eyes were full and watery.

Being watched by such a pair of eyes, Qi Lan would never refuse if Ning Xuan asked Qi Lan to accompany her anywhere, let alone just going back to Lingshui.

Just do what you say, Qi Lan immediately took out the phone and made a gesture to hang up Cheng Song.

She and Cheng Song originally made an appointment to meet in these two days, and carefully selected so many invitation emails, but this kind of matter can be discussed by phone or news, and it will not delay the journey home with Ning Xuan at all.

Ning Xuan was a little dazed, her mind became hot, and within 3 minutes of talking, Qi Lan had already arranged everything, and after changing the time with Cheng Song, she was going to buy a plane ticket.

Resolute and resolute, admire admiration.

"You don't even ask me what I'm doing?" Ning Xuan's voice was a little astringent.

Qi Lan was checking the flight time, and when she heard Ning Xuan's words, she didn't raise her head, and directly stroked Ning Xuan's hair, "You want to go, don't you?"

Ning Xuan leaned over to lean on Qi Lan's shoulder, she turned her back so that Qi Lan could not see her expression.

"Well, I don't want to wait until the New Year, I want to take you back now." Ning Xuan whispered in Qi Lan's ear.

Qi Lan paused for a moment, and soon felt relieved. It's rare for this guy to muster up the courage.

Before she could say anything, a bell rang.

The music is a bit light and far away, it is a ringtone specially recorded by Qi Lan for Ning Xuan.

Qi Lan's mobile phone was in her own hand, so it was Ning Xuan's phone that rang at this moment.

Just as Ning Xuan was about to get up from the bed, Qi Lan pressed her shoulder, "Stay here, I'll go."

Qi Lan found Ning Xuan's cell phone on the sofa in the living room, Qi Lan glanced at it casually, and found that it was Ou Hong's phone.

"It's Mr. Ou." Qi Lan walked to Ning Xuan's side and handed out the phone.

Ning Xuan clicked on the call.

"elder brother?"

I just got together to play a game before, and it was always a little strange to call myself so early in the morning.

"Xuanxuan, come back to Lingshui quickly." Ou Hong's anxious voice came from the phone, "Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning is not well."

Ning Xuan let go of her hand, and the phone dropped from her hand. Fortunately, Qi Lan was standing beside her and quickly took it.

"Hey, hello." There was a burst of thunder and bang on the phone, which made Ou Hong's heart rise. Of course he knew that Ning Xuan would not be able to hold on when he heard the news, but if he could hide it from her, Ou Hong would also I don't want to call her, but if I don't say anything this time, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that the grandparent and grandson won't be able to see each other.

"Mr. Ou, it's me, Qi Lan." Qi Lan heard Ou Hong's voice on the phone and said hastily.

"Qi Lan, please, come to Lingshui with her. I don't worry about her alone." Ou Hong sighed.

After hanging up the phone, Ou Hong stood by the bed in the ward. He looked back at the drowsy and unconscious old man with all kinds of equipment plugged in behind him. This person obviously had no blood relationship with him, and even the number of times he met each year was limited, but Ou Hong Hong felt that he was a little nervous at the moment.

Mr. Ning refused to go to City B with him, nor accepted his money and kindness, so what Ou Hong could do was to visit the old man's neighbors every year without his grandparents and grandchildren behind his back. This gave everyone an illusion. Apart from knowing that Mr. Ning had a beautiful granddaughter, everyone seemed to have a grandchild of a distant relative. Ou Hong was happy to see this kind of misunderstanding come true.

In the past two years, Mr. Ning has grown older, and Ou Hong has started to plan ahead. He told the old neighbors to call him first if they have any questions. After all, Ning Xuan is a girl, so she was afraid of scaring her. A word of exhortation has now become true.

Sitting beside Mr. Ning's bed, Ou Hong gently held the old man's hand. The old man lost weight a lot in the past two years, and the joints in his hand were clear. Ou Hong sighed: "You must hold on, Xuanxuan can't do without Your."

Mr. Ning didn't know if he could hear his words, the room was quiet without any sound.

Ning Xuan, who was joking and planning to bring Qi Lan back to Lingshui before, now looks pale.

Ning Xuan had already forgotten about the spikes and the presents. If Qi Lan hadn't pulled her along, she would have gone straight to the airport like this.

"Ning Xuan, calm down, you look at me." Qi Lan held Ning Xuan's face and asked her to look at her. On this paper-white face, Ning Xuan's eyes had already turned red, and she was full of anxiety. He looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"I'm going to check the first flight to S City now. You take the IDs, wallets and car keys of the two of us, and simply find two changes of clothes. Mr. Ou just said that he transferred the old man to another hospital. s City Center Hospital, Mr. Ou is there, you can rest assured, he loves you so much, he will definitely do his best to rescue grandpa, the old man still needs your company and care, you can't mess with yourself first."

Ning Xuan sniffed, and covered her cheeks with her hands, but she didn't know how to do it, the tears were like beads with a broken thread, and she couldn't wipe them away, but Ning Xuan knew that what Qi Lan just said was reasonable, Now is not the time to be sad and cry, Grandpa still needs her care, she can rush to his side as quickly as possible, maybe as long as she holds Grandpa's hand, he will get better, so she has to be stronger.

According to Qi Lan's previous arrangement, the two of them split up and went out as quickly as possible.

Qi Lan didn't have more time to explain to Cheng Song in detail. After boarding the plane and at the last moment before takeoff, Qi Lan explained the situation in a concise and concise manner. After sending a message to Cheng Song, she turned off her phone while the flight attendant was broadcasting.
