Because of the heavy rain, there were fewer cars on the road.

A black Bentley flew past a shadow like an emissary in the darkness, and galloped forward at high speed.

The wipers were working constantly, but the car's front windows were always covered with raindrops, obscuring his vision.

Jin patted the steering wheel angrily, and the phone on the side was still on hold, but no matter what he did, Zhi Xi couldn't seem to hear his voice, but her sobbing was accompanied by lightning and thunder in his voice. bumped against his eardrums.

"Liu Zhixi, don't let anything happen..." He bit his lips tightly, increased the speed and drove forward...

In the mansion of the Jin family.

"Ah Tan, answer the phone, ah, what's the matter with this kid, why doesn't he answer the phone!" Han Qi'ai walked back and forth anxiously in the living room, constantly dialing Jin Tan's cell phone, but nothing happened. The person answered, "Ah, what's going on, why would you drive out in this weather at this time!" Finally, she rubbed her hair depressingly and threw the phone on the sofa.

"Madam, if the young master has not been contacted, I will call the president and the president." Driver Wang said worriedly.

"No!" Han Qiai resolutely objected with wide-eyed eyes, and stopped in front of Driver Wang, "If Driver Wang tells the president about this, I will not be able to survive in this house, and Jin Yuan will also take the opportunity to join the meeting." Speak ill of Ah Tan in front of the boss!"

The corner of Driver Wang's mouth twitched and said helplessly, "But madam, what if something happens to the young master outside?"

"What happened?" Han Qi'ai sighed annoyedly, ran to the sofa, picked up her cell phone and continued to make calls, when the voice of no one answering came from the cell phone, Han Qi'ai jumped up angrily and shouted loudly, "Yeah , What the hell did this stinky boy do!"

"Boom—" There was a thunder, and at the same time, a car drove directly into Esther Li's mansion from a very dangerous angle. The bodyguards at the gate looked at it strangely when they saw that it was the car that often picked up Jin Tan. with.

Accompanied by a piercing sound of brakes, Jin Tan opened the car door, and ran into the hall directly in the rain.

"Who is it?" Because the power supply of the whole mansion was still being repaired, the servants didn't know who came in.

Jin Tan turned on the flashlight on his phone, and the rain was continuously flowing down his hair.He asked anxiously in his tone, "Where is Zhixi, did nothing happen to her?"

"Second Miss is in her room, she said she's fine, and..." The servant looked at Jin Tan who was soaked all over, "What's the matter with you here now? "

"All right?" He frowned, and simply walked straight to Zhixi's room.

Seeing that he was going to find Zhixi, the servant shouted anxiously from behind, "That...Young Master Jin, our second lady is already asleep!"

Jin Tan walked towards Liu Zhixi's room, and when he opened her door, he clearly heard her crying in fear.

"Zhi... Zhixi, are you alright?" Jin Tan saw through the light of the flashlight that Zhixi was sitting on the ground, her face was covered with tears, and her eyes were full of fear.

"Jin Tan...Senior Jin Tan," she raised her head slightly and saw Jin Tan's dark and deep eyes in the hazy light, turned her face to the side and wiped the tears on her face with her hands, when she heard the footsteps of the servants, her body hurried to the bed Shrinking his feet, "Senior, close the door!"

Hearing her anxious tone, Jin Tan took a step forward and closed the door.

"Is this okay?" Jin Tan walked towards her, saw the phone dropped on the carpet under the light of the flashlight, and bent down to pick it up.

I'm afraid he accidentally dialed Zhixi's number by himself, and it happened to connect when the phone fell to the ground.

Seeing Jin Tan walking towards her, Liu Zhixi just bit her lips and lowered her head, "I...I don't want others to see me like this."

But... when Jin Tan stood beside her, the lightning and thunder outside seemed less scary, and she would not keep recalling the scenes at that time.

"Because it's me, so it's okay," Jin Tan squatted down and helped her up, "Did you fall on the ground, and was there no injury?"

Liu Zhixi hesitated for a while before saying, "Your feet... feel pain?"

"Pain?" His movements were also stagnant, and he looked at Liu Zhixi in disbelief, "You...you said your feet hurt?"

"Yes, for the first time in a year, my feet feel pain." Her eyes gradually ignited the light of hope.

A smile that couldn't be concealed appeared on the corner of Jin Tan's mouth, and he stammered a little excitedly, "Then...that's really great, if it hurts, it means there will be hope for recovery!"

Zhixi smiled and nodded, with some tears in her eyes shining under the hazy light, "If... I can walk, my mother won't let me go out because she thinks I'm useless. I can go to school with my sister, maybe..." She looked at Jin Tan, "I can still go to the same school as my senior." She lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly, "I've always thought, I want to go to school and hang out with a lot of friends..."

Jin Tan looked at her deeply, with complicated emotions flashing across his eyes, "It's definitely possible. I'll take you out to play after a while, and I'm serious."

There was a flash of joy in her eyes, and then they dimmed again, "But I can only sit in a wheelchair now, and my mother won't let me go out."

"She won't know." A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "After a while, my father, the representative of the Empire Group, and Lady Li, the representative of the Crystal Hotel, are going to England."

"Thank you, Senior Jin Tan," her eyes sparkled brightly, "Thank you for coming here when I was afraid, and thank you for helping me do what I want to do."

Seeing that she was looking at him seriously, Jin Tan moved his ears, touched the screen with his fingers, and pretended to calmly say, "Oh, the phone is out of battery."

Falling into a dark room again will prevent Liu Zhixi from seeing him blushing, but, Jin Tan, when did you love blushing so much!

Jin Tan secretly despised himself in his heart, at this moment, with a "pop", the room suddenly became as bright as day.

"The circuit has been repaired!"

"Sure enough, it's more comfortable to look bright!"

…………

The noise of the servants came from outside.

"Damn it..." Jin Tan cursed secretly, stood up and picked up the quilt on the bed to wrap Liu Zhixi tightly, and stammered, "Just...just now there was no heating in the room, so I could catch a cold easily."

Liu Zhixi's suppressed laughter came out from under the quilt, Jin Tan blushed even more, and turned his head away, not daring to look at her again.

At 0 o'clock, the charity dinner hosted by the Imperial Group was completely over. Rachel Liu rubbed her swollen temples, followed behind Esther Li, and when she walked to the door, a waiter respectfully handed her her handbag .

Rachel Liu got into the car with her handbag, took out her mobile phone from inside, and saw several missed calls from Zhi Xi.

"I made so many calls, what happened?" Liu Rachel immediately called back, but no one answered, "Hurry up, I have to go home quickly." She looked seriously at the driver. said the driver.

"Did something happen?" Esther Li closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the seat, asking casually.

"I also hope nothing happened." Rachel Liu dialed her home number with her mobile phone again, and after confirming that nothing happened to Zhixi, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone in her handbag.

"Did something happen to Liu Allie?" Esther Lee asked as she opened her eyes.

"Do you still care about her?" Rachel Liu curled her lips and said disdainfully, "You have been indifferent to her since she can only sit in a wheelchair, sometimes even I wonder if Zhixi is my real sister , where is your own daughter?"

"Really," Esther Li said indifferently, "However, Crystal Hotel doesn't need a disabled heir. You should be glad that no one came to snatch your inheritance."

"Ha, it's a pity that I'm not as transparent as you think, mother." She turned her face, leaned on the back of the chair, and stopped talking to Esther Lee.

The corner of Esther Lee's mouth curled into a faint smile.

It seems that her daughter still doesn't know what to face as an heir...

After the car slowly drove into the parking lot of the mansion, Butler Wang and a servant stood respectfully by the car door. Esther Li handed the handbag to the servant, brushed his hair back with his hands, and looked up to Butler Wang when he remembered something. , "Is Liu Allie asleep?"

"Second Miss is already asleep," Steward Wang said after hesitating for a while, "That...the Second Young Master of President Jin's family is also in Miss's room."

"What?" Rachel Liu spoke out first this time, "Ha, what is this guy up to?" After she finished speaking, she didn't even hand the bag to the servant, and walked directly to Liu Zhixi's room.

The expression on Esther Lee's face was also not good, and she walked towards Liu Zhixi's room while stepping on her high heels.

When Rachel Liu pushed away from Zhixi's room and walked in, she stopped involuntarily when she saw the scene in front of her.

I saw Liu Zhixi wrapped in a thick quilt lying sideways on the bed, only revealing a smooth and fair little face, the slender eyelashes lingering faintly under the light, and a few strands of black hair scattered on the bed , while Jin Tan was sitting on the ground leaning against the bed, with one hand on the bed, his head resting on it, the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, and his breathing was long, already appearing to be in a deep sleep.

"What's this for..." She whispered, turning around, she saw Esther Li looking at Zhixi with a complicated expression, and after a while, she picked up her phone and turned to leave.

Rachel Liu looked back at the two of them again, murmured, "It's really disturbing," and then said to a servant, "Bring another quilt over here." After speaking, she walked upstairs go.

After the rain, the sky returned to its clear blue color, and the white sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, hitting Jin Tan's face lying on the bed.

He suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed before waking up from sleep, but his first reaction was to wrap the quilt tighter and then continue to close his eyes and fall back asleep. A minute later, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Isn't this my room?" He looked around in surprise, got up from the bed, and walked out of the room wearing slippers. At this moment, he saw his mother walking towards his room carefully carrying the medicine.

When Han Qiai saw Jin Tan coming out with messy hair, he hurriedly said, "Oh my son, my son is really suffering!"

"What?" Jin Tan rubbed his hair depressedly, "How did I come back?"

"Of course it was sent by Esther Li." Han Qi'ai gave Jin Tan an annoyed look. If he hadn't been sick and had a fever, she would have patted him on the head to wake up the bastard, "You You still have a fever now, hurry up and drink the ginger soup."

"Ah, who wants to drink this kind of thing!" Jin Tan was about to turn his head back to his room depressed.

So he was sleeping in Ji Xi's room and was seen by Esther Lee?Originally, I just wanted to take a rest, but it seemed that I fell asleep because of the rain and fever.

"Ah Tan," at this time Chief Yin suddenly came over, patted Jin Tan on the shoulder and said, "The president wants you to wait for him in the study."

Jin Tan hesitated for a while, then turned around and walked towards the study.

When he did that yesterday, he was ready to bear his father's anger.

"What to do, what to do, is our Ah Tan going to be beaten?" Han Qi'ai said with a distressed expression.

Director Yin laughed and said comfortingly, "Madam, please rest assured, the president is not such a rough person."

Han Qi'ai was about to say something, but suddenly saw Jin Yuan in a suit go up the stairs with a strange expression, put the medicine directly in Chief Yin's hand, and ran back to her room.

"Mr. Yin," Jin Yuan walked towards Mr. Yin with his hands in his belt, without looking in the direction Han Qi'ai left, "I just had a meeting with my father, and he doesn't look very well, what happened? It's over."

"A Tan drove to Esther Li's house by himself last night, and stayed there for one night." Chief Yin did not intend to hide this matter from Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan sneered, "Didn't he always want that guy to get engaged to Rachel Liu?"

"No, what Ah Tan went to see was Esther Li's youngest daughter. She had a car accident near Hongcang Cave a year ago and was confined to a wheelchair. She has already lost her chance to be an heir."

Jin Yuan's hands tightened, and he said after a while, "That's right, it turns out that it's... a disabled person." After speaking, he turned around and went directly down the stairs without going to the study.

Director Yin looked at Jin Yuan's leaving back somewhat strangely, and finally turned around and walked into the study.
