not a decent stand-in

Everyone stood guard outside the ward all night.

The next morning, the old man finally woke up and was transferred from the ICU to the general ward.

Xiang Yindong looked at Zuo Tong's haggard face, and held his hand: "Xiao Tong, I'm sorry, I wanted to explain our matter clearly to Grandpa, but now it seems..."

"I see……"

A wry smile appeared on Zuo Tong's face, "It's not convenient for me to be here, take good care of the old man, don't provoke him for now!"

Xiang Yindong nodded and had no choice but to send him out of the hospital first.

When he returned to the ward, the old man had just woken up and was talking to Xiang Huaiye weakly.

Seeing him, Xiang Huaiye winked, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Xiang Yindong nodded, stepped forward and held the old man's hand, and asked softly, "Grandpa, how do you feel?"

The old man's expression was very calm at the moment, he didn't scold him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is...is it true...?"

Xiang Yindong didn't expect that the first thing the old man said when he woke up was to ask him this, he hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Yes..."

"You!" The old man's face was visibly stiff.

Xiang Huaiye quickly reassured him, and said, "Dad, don't be angry, I told you everything just now, Xiaodong will solve this matter properly!"

Xiang Yindong was a little helpless, but he didn't dare to continue to provoke the old man, so he could only say tactfully: "Grandpa, I'm the bastard who disappointed you. Take care of yourself, and it won't be too late to beat me slowly and punish me!"

The old man sighed heavily: "You child, why... are you so...so confused!"

Xiang Yindong held the old man's hand tightly and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"

Xiang Huaiye kept coaxing and persuading him, finally calming down the old man's mood.

Xiang Yindong stared blankly, not daring to speak again.

Xiang Huaiye fed the old man something, comforted him to sleep first, and then pulled Xiang Yindong into the safe passage to speak.

"Xiaodong, is the matter between you and Zuo Tong true?" Xiang Huaiye looked at him with a rare serious expression.

Xiang Yindong sat on the stairs opposite him, wiped his face with both hands, and nodded.

"I mean, seriously, not kidding?"

"Yes, uncle, I plan to spend the rest of my life with Xiao Tong."

Xiang Huaiye's face was unpredictable, and he was silent for a long time before he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Tell me, each of us... Our old man, what crime did we do in our previous life?"

Xiang Yindong raised his head thoughtfully and said, "Uncle, there is something I've always wanted to ask, but I don't know how to ask..."

"What? Want to know what happened to me back then?"

Xiang Yindong nodded: "If you are willing to say..."

Xiang Huaiye chuckled: "There's nothing I can't say. I was about the same age as you at that time, and I fell in love with a man... I once thought about spending my whole life with that person, but I realized later that a lifetime is too long..."

"Is it because grandpa disagrees?"

Xiang Huaiye shook his head: "The old man is just a catalyst. Even if he doesn't object, the relationship between the two men will be difficult, so we broke up before it was our turn to be separated by our parents..."

Xiang Yindong was a little surprised, he had heard Shao Lin say that my uncle was cheated by his lover, but my uncle didn't mention it, and he didn't ask.

"Then you now..." Do you still love that person?

Xiang Yindong wanted to ask, but he still didn't ask.

"I know what you're thinking, but the way I am now is purely because I feel that it's more comfortable to live like this, and it has nothing to do with others..."

Xiang Yindong saw that although he spoke lightly, there was still a hint of melancholy between his brows, so he didn't expose it.

"Tell me about yourself... what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, I can only stabilize Grandpa's emotions first, and don't give him too much blow."

"That's just for a while, this matter really needs to be resolved, or you listen to him, give up Zuo Tong, and find a woman to marry! Or, you choose Zuo Tong, and the old man will be mad... You know... If the old man Get tough, no one can fight against him!"

Xiang Yindong frowned when he heard this: "I will definitely not give up on Xiaotong..."

"Then you'd better be mentally prepared, he can't stop you, he might go to Zuo Tong for trouble."

"what do you mean……"

"Try to deal with this matter coldly, don't show up with Zuo Tong for the time being, don't continue to provoke him, and give each other a buffer time."

"I understand, thank you, uncle..."

"Is there any problem with the company?"

"I rushed directly to the hospital yesterday and didn't go to the company. Alex said there was a lot of discussion..."

"Those old directors are very conservative. If you admit your sexual orientation in front of them, I'm afraid it will be very bad for you..."

"I will handle this matter well, don't worry, uncle..." Xiang Yindong forced a wry smile on his face, changed the topic, and asked again, "Uncle, there is something that I hope you can tell me the truth , did you tell Lin Jincheng about the commercial espionage back then?"

"I..." Xiang Huaiye took a deep breath and frowned: "I also want to help him for the sake of the second sister..."

"what is the problem?"

"Xiaodong, this matter is very involved, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but your aunt's life in the past few years has not been as good as outsiders can see... Our Xiang family does have something to feel sorry for Lin Jincheng, so we have been doing it for a long time. The old man was more polite to him, which caused the dissatisfaction of the elder brother..."

Xiang Huaiye shook his head, hesitated to speak, "I'll let the old man tell you about this matter when he is in better health..."

Although Xiang Yindong wanted to know the truth of the matter very much, but his uncle obviously didn't want to tell, so he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and didn't continue to ask.

But at least the information he got from his uncle was enough to support some of his judgments.

In the afternoon, Lin Jincheng rushed to the hospital with Xiang Huailin.

Xiang Huailin's complexion was very bad, she didn't let go of Xiang Zhenghai's hand, and kept wiping away her tears.

Xiang Yindong stood beside her to comfort her, Xiang Huailin raised her head to look at him several times, but she hesitated to speak.

The old man sighed, dismissed the others, and wanted to talk to Xiang Huailin alone.

Xiang Yindong retreated outside the ward, saw Lin Jincheng standing silently at the door, and asked, "Uncle Lin, how is the company going?"

Lin Jincheng had no expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Xiaodong, you have really disappointed everyone about this incident. You should think about how to explain it to the directors!"

Xiang Yindong's heart was clear, but his face remained calm: "Explain what, I don't think this matter has anything to do with the company!"

Lin Jincheng showed an ambiguous smile: "Whether it matters or not is not up to you. Zhenghai has so many 'scandals' in the past six months, how can he stand up to it?"

Xiang Yindong could feel the aggressiveness of the other party, but he didn't want to provoke the old man, so he didn't continue to argue with him.

Now that the good show has begun, he will wait and see whether it is the devil's height or the Tao's height!

After coming out of the hospital, Xiang Yindong called Alex, and only then did he learn that several directors headed by Chu Dongming requested a temporary board meeting to hold him accountable.

The corner of Xiang Yindong's mouth twitched into a sneer, the true face of the old fox had really been revealed!

Not long after he left the hospital, Lin Jincheng also left the hospital with Xiang Huailin.

When they arrived at the gate of Lin's villa, there was no one in the dark house.

Lin Jincheng got off the driver's seat and opened the rear door.

Under the dim street light, Xiang Huailin's face was pale and looked haggard.

Lin Jincheng suddenly stretched out a hand and pinched her cheek.

The calm and self-sustaining expression on his face has disappeared, his eyes have become chaotic and crazy, and he asked sinisterly, "Why didn't you dare expose me just now?"

"Let... let me go!" Xiang Huailin weakly grasped the car door, trying to escape but there was nowhere to escape.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Lin Jincheng had a smile on his lips, which was full of strangeness in the night.

The hatred in his eyes was like a knife, stabbing Xiang Huailin's chest so hard that she could barely breathe.

Xiang Huailin was short of breath, with fear in her eyes, she kept struggling, and murmured for help: "Let go... let me go!"

For a long time, Lin Jincheng saw that her face was flushed and she was about to faint, so he let go of her hand and warned coldly: "Don't let me find out that you want to tip off the news! Otherwise, your most beloved daughter will suffer... ..."

"You...you can't treat Shanshan like this!" Xiang Huailin's eyes were full of mist, and her face that was originally bloodless showed great fear, "She is innocent!"

"Innocent? Who in your Xiang family is innocent?"

Hearing his words, Lin Jincheng suddenly became agitated, and reprimanded loudly, "You are all murderers, and you should all be punished!"

Crazy voices echoed outside the quiet villa.

Xiang Huailin's tears rolled down her cheeks.

At the same time, Xiang Huai'en, who had just returned home, received a package.

He opened the package and saw that there was a CD inside.

He already knew the content of the CD, but after watching all the pictures, he still couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

I thought that what Xiang Chenyu did in Switzerland would not have any evidence after he bribed those policemen.

Unexpectedly, he received a call a few days ago, and the other party claimed that he had something in his hand, and he must be interested.

And the other party sent him a small video, which was the scene of Xiang Chenyu sneaking into the parking lot.

Xiang Huai'en was trembling all over at that time, completely confused, and immediately agreed to all the conditions proposed by the other party.

The CD he received at this moment was something that was exchanged for the photos of Xiang Yindong and Zuo Tong that were secretly taken.

After Xiang Huai'en finished watching the CD, a phone call came in immediately.

With a cold face, he frowned and answered, "Hello?"

"Have you seen everything?" The voice of the person on the phone was relaxed, with a hint of a smile.

"How do I know these things, do you still have a backup?"

"Mr. Xiang, do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

"Who the hell are you? What else do you want to do?"

"Don't be impatient, Boss Xiang, let's take it slowly..." The man laughed sullenly twice, and continued, "I just sent you a photo, take a look first, and you'll know what to do! "

After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and Xiang Huai'en quickly opened the photo he had just received.

On the photo is a group photo of Fu Xueqin and Wei Tianhan, and there is also a line of comments - it's a good strategy!

Xiang Huai'en's face turned pale immediately, the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, everything was over...
