his mermaid

***

It's already ten o'clock.

Brother Yaochen didn't come to the company today.But people in the company are gossiping about him in full swing.

Because Jiang Dewen's development conference last night was the headline news of the major magazines.

Donated 1000 million, but also to hold concert tours, and all the money earned will be used for charity.

Also called so many stars to participate in the charity gala, of course, is the big headlines of the day.

Jiang Dewen is a well-known musician in China. Because Western music is not very popular in China, there are only a few musicians who can name them. Everyone pays a lot of attention to Jiang Dewen.

"Hey, this one, Young Master Jiang was photographed."

Young master is what the company's female colleagues call Yaochen, and he is the young master of the chairman's family.

"Really, really, so handsome."

"Ah, his elder brother is also very handsome, and their noses are so high...Ah, Jiang Dewen has such good-looking two sons, so rich, so talented, and so handsome, he is really a winner in life. "

"Jiang Dewen has donated so much money and is so kind. He is really a rare and positive public figure. He is also a violinist. Hey, he must have been more handsome when he was young."

"Does the young master learn the violin?"

"Did our young master learn the violin?"

"Really, I just know."

Yuhan's footsteps approached their desks.

"The young master is so indifferent when he comes to the company. He never glanced at us. Is it because his beloved woman died in a car accident?"

"And I ran to the hospital every three days, what a pity...she died..."

"Where did you see that? I don't think the young master likes her, but just sympathizes with her."

"That's right, the young master doesn't look at us because his office is on the top floor, and we are on the bottom floor—"

It wasn't until Yuhan picked up the file bag in his hand and shook it in front of the women that they immediately stopped talking.

"Gossiping in the company is prohibited." Yuhan frowned, "Also, you are not allowed to publicly discuss Brother Yaochen as the president of our company outside, and you are not allowed to disclose any information to the media. I know they have a way to investigate, but If the news is leaked by someone inside us, we will definitely investigate it strictly and bear the consequences at our own risk."

"I'm sorry." Several women apologized in a strange way, "I'm so afraid of being fired."

After Yuhan gave them a blank look, they all quickly returned to their places to work, and stopped watching the news pictures on the computer.

"Why are you so arrogant, crazy, just graduated from college, that's it."

"Who doesn't know that she is just an intern. If the chairman really values ​​her and treats her as his daughter, then give her a big power. It's disgusting to use his own identity to dictate to us."

"Speaking of which, she has no blood relationship with the chairman, maybe she has a crush on the young master."

"Alas……"

Yuhan came to the bathroom, opened the mobile phone webpage, and Jiang Dewen's name could be seen at a glance among the hot news, just like those people discussed.Various news outlets have exposed Jiang Dewen's charity work and tour, as well as photos of his two sons. No wonder those women suddenly discussed brother Yaochen and his father.

But I couldn't find any other more in-depth information on the Internet. I only said that they were two sons born to Jiang Dewen in a secret marriage in his early years.Few companies have dug deep into Jiang Dewen's ex-wife, and there is not much news about Jiang Yaochen.

***

Yaochen's car was parked in front of a Japanese grocery store called Fengwan Famous Store.

A few days ago, I specially ordered sashimi, and I came to pick it up today.After entering the store, the chef packed the prepared ingredients in front of him.

The chef is also the boss here, and said proudly: It is rare to prepare such a sumptuous meal, and I want to take a picture as a souvenir.So a photo was taken.

"I thought you came in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to come at noon. Are you going to take it to a party?"

"No."

"Oh...that's the girlfriend."

"Yes. He was injured recently, and the doctor said he should eat more fish."

"oh, I see."

The tuna ordered by this customer cost more than 2 yuan. Is it such a luxury to heal the wounded?

Back in the car, Yaochen was stunned for a few seconds.

In the rearview mirror, a black van has been driving behind for an hour.

After leaving the apartment, he began to follow him. On the way, he got out of the car and stopped at the Japanese food store for 10 minutes. The van still did not disappear, but followed his car obediently and parked in the open parking lot.

If it is said that the route is exactly the same, after such a long distance, it should not be a coincidence.

He continued to start the car and left, and the van followed closely as he expected. There was no aggressive behavior along the way, but it followed silently, keeping a distance of four or five meters between cars.

Yaochen turned the steering wheel and drove into a quiet path.Since it is the road leading to the government office, it is very quiet.

Except for pedestrians, there are no bus stops on this road.

He looked in the rearview mirror, and the black van followed, simply stopped on the side of the road and turned off its engine.

The van also stopped behind, and it seemed that he did not intend to leave.

Yaochen adjusted the position of the rearview mirror, and saw that the driver was a man wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses.

Since he was heavily armed, it was difficult to see his facial features.

It must be Jiang Dewen who sent someone to follow him.

Flipping through the phone book, Yaochen dialed the number of Jiang Dewen's assistant.

The father does not have a mobile phone number personally, and he can only be found by contacting his assistant.

After it rang for about ten seconds, the other party answered the call.Yaochen was already very angry:

"You sent someone to follow me?"

"Yaochen?" The person who answered the phone happened to be Jiang Dewen, "Hey, you have been followed, what's going on? Could it be that someone is trying to harm you? Be careful in the country by yourself these few months."

"Don't be stupid, did you send someone to follow me?"

"Your brother and I are going to board the plane today, I don't have time to send someone to follow you."

"Whether you sent someone to follow me, you know very well."

Hearing Yaochen's emotional instability, Jiang Dewen sighed on the phone.

"Dad really didn't. Is it a paparazzi? Yaochen, did you read yesterday's news? It's normal for a paparazzi to notice you. Don't be suspicious all the time, just like your mother. Why should I follow you? If you want to Knowing your recent situation, do I need to follow up?"

"Okay, then I wish you a happy tour and don't disturb my work again."

beep...beep...

Jiang Dewen's phone was hung up, and he threw the phone to his assistant: "Hmph, boring, how could I follow my son."

Boom... Yaochen rolled down the window.It was the traffic police who rang.

"Sir, no parking here."

He saw sweat oozing from the top of Yaochen's forehead, but there was a gust of air-conditioning in the car, and he wondered how he managed to drive like this.

"Sorry, the van behind me is following me, I stopped to take a look." Yaochen said, staring at the steering wheel.

"You mean the car in the back? I asked, and the driver said he was here to deliver the goods." The traffic policeman pointed to an office building nearby.

"I'm talking about the black van."

"Yes, that's the black van. He said it was for delivery."

"........."

"Sir, if there is no problem, please leave as soon as possible."

"Feel sorry."

Yaochen probed to confirm again, it was still the man wearing hat, mask and sunglasses in deep summer.The van was indeed following, but Yaochen didn't want to explain too much to the traffic police, so he pressed the start button.

This time, the van did not follow.

Turning from the small road to the avenue where cars come and go, it's like returning to reality from a different world.

***

"I'm not going to the company today, I'm coming to the hospital to accompany you."

"Hehe, it's so good...why don't you go?"

The mobile phone is connected to the stereo in the car, and after answering the call, the entire car is filled with the other party's voice.When talking to his father, there was an indescribable sense of emptiness, Yueguo could pull his thoughts back, just like in college.

"Because I didn't go to the hospital yesterday, I'm going to make up for it today. What are you doing?"

There were some equipment and movement sounds on the phone. It seemed that he had been tossing around for a while, and the phone hadn't been hung up yet.

"I just sat in a wheelchair, and it's inconvenient to answer the phone standing up. In fact, I just got up not long ago, and went downstairs to have breakfast."

"You went downstairs by yourself again?"

"Yes, the doctor said that it will take a long time before the amputation sleeve can be put on. Now we need to keep the muscles active."

Yue Guo was on the phone, and with the other hand, he was pushing the wheelchair around the house.

"What did you have for breakfast?" Yaochen asked.

"Sandwiches, bacon, eggs, biscuits, jam."

"Have you eaten so much?"

"Because it was prepared by the hospital, so I took a little of everything."

Thinking of Yueguo's complexion has become rosy recently, and he is healthier than before when he was thin and weak.

Yaochen heard the sound of wheels rolling over the threshold, and the sound of pushing the door. Yueguo slid the wheelchair to the balcony of the room, as if wandering in the house.

"After eating so much, wouldn't it be too much for lunch?"

Yue Guo didn't answer.The words stopped abruptly for seven or eight seconds.

There is a feeling of stiffness in breathing.

"Yaochen..."

"what happened?"

What came into view was a terrifying scene.There was a row of flower pots full of hyacinths on the balcony, but now all the flowers and leaves have been pulled out and piled up on the ground in a mess, leaving only messy soil in the flower pots. Someone deliberately violent the flower pots of.

Someone entered his room at night and destroyed the flowers, even hinting at destroying his life.

Seeing this scene, the conversation with Yaochen just now couldn't continue.

The thoughts that popped into my mind pointed to the only possible one.

"Regarding the accident with my sister, how is the driver doing?"

"Why did you ask this suddenly? I left it to the lawyer. There has been no progress in the past two days." Yaochen felt strange. Before this, Yueguo hadn't mentioned this matter.

"Is he going to pay a lot of compensation?"

"This will not come to a conclusion until you recover to a certain extent. However, his chances of winning the lawsuit are very small. After checking the records of his entry and exit in a nearby factory, it is found that this car is a new car. The driver does not have a license to drive a large vehicle. Suspected of breaking the law.”

Yue Guo couldn't help asking: "If he can't afford to pay that much money, shouldn't he rather die the injured person..."

"What are you thinking? Impossible."

As if anyone could answer that.

But this is not the answer Yue Guo wants to hear.

He looked at the mess on the balcony and remembered the thing about being thrown the flower pot from high altitude yesterday.

This is obviously hated by someone.

"Are you driving..."

Yue Guo's voice became smaller.

"Well, on the way here."

"Then I'll hang up. You should pay attention to safety and don't make phone calls while driving."

Outside the balcony, the sculpture of Maria holding the baby is in the middle of the fountain on the lawn.

The sanatorium, which was supposed to be a paradise, cast a shadow over it.

***

Yueguo sat in a wheelchair and rested in the lobby on the first floor, which felt more secure than staying in the room, but he still looked anxious.

It was a good thing he didn't moan like the other patients, which only irritated the nurses.

Just as he was thinking about when Yaochen would come, he appeared.Yaochen didn't go to the company, still wearing a suit.Because he was going to the company, but he suddenly changed his mind after being followed on the way.

"Yueguo." Yaochen pushed the wheelchair towards him, "Aren't you staying in the room?"

"Because it's a bit hot in the room..." Yue Guo explained absently.

"Forgot to buy you short-sleeved clothes."

"I don't want it... I have it at home, but I don't need to bring it. The clothes here are enough to wear, and it will be autumn soon."

Since being injured this summer, Yueguo has never worn short-sleeved clothes, and has always been a long-sleeved patient uniform.After coming to this nursing home, he also wore a long-sleeved V-neck shirt with thin trousers underneath, and the left trouser leg was cut off.In addition, the wound would be hot and itchy, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. When the wound was not wrapped with gauze, he would cover his lower body with a thin towel, so it was natural for him to be hot.

"Can you turn on the air conditioner?"

"It's not good to blow too much." The nurse answered at the side, "It can be used, but it's not very hot today."

"Yes……"

It wasn't because of the heat that I came downstairs.

Yue Guo didn't want to reveal his inner distress.

Pushing the wheelchair, I went to the booth in the restaurant of the bungalow.

It wasn't until Yaochen put down the huge black box in his hand that Yueguo focused on it.

There were patterns of gilded orchids and chrysanthemums on the box, and he couldn't help touching it, it was bronzing.

"Is this Japanese food?"

"Yeah." Yaochen opened the box, "But it's all sashimi."

It was taken out of a cold drink packaging bag filled with dry ice, so none of the ice cubes in the box had melted. Yueguo thought that he had just brought a hodgepodge-like platter from a restaurant, and it would also be accompanied by various inedible decorations. .As a result, after opening, the sashimi was divided into grids, and half of the plates contained the same tuna.

Judging from the texture of the fish fillet, it is known that the price is expensive, and the knife skill is also extraordinary.

Yueguo had seen high-end Japanese cuisine on TV, but he still felt a little shocked.

"It's costing you again, such packaging is very expensive at first glance."

“Not expensive, just an average restaurant.”

"There's an invoice next to it, I've seen it."

Yaochen pulled out the invoice, and the corners of his eyes twitched.The number was blocked just now, Yueguo probably didn't see it, he just instinctively thought that he would buy something very expensive.

Before he opened it, he didn't know the packaging was like this. He didn't expect the boss to use a brand new set of plates to pack it.Afterwards, Yaochen called Xiao Lin, the nurse who was in charge of taking care of Yue Guo, to come down to help. It was the fat young woman.After she came over, she helped to take out the tableware provided by the restaurant, as well as hand-ground wasabi and soy sauce, and went to the refrigerator to get tea.

They were all prepared for Yueguo. Although there were two sets of tableware, when it was time to start, Yaochen went to make a phone call. The content of the conversation was that people from the company called to discuss investment funds.

After he finished the phone call, the two started together.

After dawdling for a while, Yueguo finally ate a plate of sashimi. He didn't notice what kind of fish it was, some he hadn't seen before, maybe it was puffer fish.

The fish meat is very dense, and it would be monotonous to describe it as melting in the mouth, but he really has no appetite.

"Can't you eat it?"

"Well, I ate too much for lunch."

Seeing that there was still a lot left, Yueguo was worried. He was supposed to have a happy meal together, but in the end he was always thinking about what happened in the past two days, and he barely swallowed the food, which was tasteless.Yaochen was keenly aware of Yueguo's tense tone, and even the nurse standing beside him was holding hands tightly.

"Why did you ask me about the driver who caused the accident today?"

"Because I suddenly remembered that you said before that you would go to court."

"That's not something you should worry about."

"I always thought that the car accident was our brother and sister's own responsibility. Now that I think about it carefully, it might not be. I was involved in the bottom of the car to save Xiaohui, and she was directly knocked down. In this accident, I shouldn't be responsible."

Yue Guo shook his head, recalling the situation at that time, he felt a stabbing pain in his left leg again.

That kind of heart-wrenching feeling, even if the limb has been amputated, it cannot be dissipated.

"He will definitely pay compensation. All you have to do is to recuperate here."

Here... to recuperate.

Yue Guo suddenly shook hands, raised his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much... I always feel that living here is not comfortable."

He didn't want to say it at first, but he was extremely uneasy, so he hinted vaguely, and after speaking, his breathing became very fast.

"Before I lived in Baiyun Hospital, it was very good, but I am not used to it when I come here."

"What happened?"

There was a rare tension between Yaochen's brows, "Which aspect are you not used to?"

"It's not that I'm not used to it, it's just..."

"Maybe it was yesterday..." Xiao Lin said from the side, "Yesterday, Mr. Gao and I were walking outside the house, and suddenly a flower pot fell from the roof and almost hit Mr. Gao, causing him to fall. Fortunately, he was not injured, if he was really hit by a flower pot, he might be seriously injured."

"I didn't want to say it at first, but I told Xiao Lin not to say it, because he was not injured." Yue Guo moved his fingers and clenched it tightly again, "But today, someone destroyed the flowers in my room, pulled them out and threw them in the The balcony floor looks messy. Those are the flowers you, Miss Cheng, and the driver went to choose when you moved in. "

It was all ruined now, and he felt that people who did such things were too much, no matter what the purpose was.

"What? Why didn't you tell me yesterday? There are still flowers."

Yaochen's tone became a little hurried, he had been here for almost an hour, yet Yueguo had been eating without telling his mind.

"I don't want to worry you, but it's easier to say it..."

Destroying a flower pot is a prank, but throwing a flower pot is almost attempted harm.

Jiang Dewen's name came to mind again.

After thinking about it, maybe the driver who caused the accident was also possible, so Yaochen immediately called the lawyer.But before the official court session, they had no reason to call out the driver who caused the accident to meet him, and the other party also had legitimate reasons to refuse.

After explaining the situation, Attorney Li said that he would contact the police to investigate.Yaochen went to the front desk to talk about the matter with the nurse in charge of this building, and even got into an argument with the nurse.

The nurse kept saying that this kind of thing is impossible, there is no reason to do this kind of thing, it was the patient who broke it by himself and put the blame on the hospital, and wanted to ask the hospital for mental damage expenses.

"This looks like a prank, and you guys are making too much of a fuss."

If Yaochen hadn't replied at the scene that she wanted the police to intervene, Yueguo would have been persuaded by her.

Finally, after asking clearly, I learned that there is a nurse who did not come today.

Yaochen looked at her ID photo, and quickly said, "I've seen her before. Last night, I was on the second floor to patrol the room. She entered Yueguo's room."

"It's true that she was in charge of rounds last night. But you can't just rely on this to suspect a nurse who didn't come to work. She went home to rest today because she was on night shift."

Yaochen got the nurse's phone number, but unfortunately he didn't dial it.

But after negotiating with the nurse with a bad attitude, he was worried about letting such a person take care of Yueguo, and only wanted to transfer to another hospital as soon as possible.

The matter of hospital transfer cannot be arranged in a day or two.

If you want to go home and rest, you have to consult a doctor and ask for a private doctor.Yue Guo also cannot leave the hospital if the necessary care must be performed in the hospital.The point is, right now he's not ready for that home.I originally planned to think about it next month. If Yueguo was discharged from the hospital before, he would live in his own apartment.Jiang Dewen probably already knew the location of that apartment, so it was impossible for Yueguo to move in.

Even so, he has strengthened his determination to let Yueguo be discharged from the hospital.Throwing him in such a frightening sanatorium would probably only deepen his injuries.
