mutual benefit [gl]

Finally, Chen Yuanzhen couldn't bear it anymore and turned off the computer.

For some reason, she couldn't calm down and do anything today.She looked down at her empty coffee cup and closed her eyes wearily.

What is the reason, why are you so restless today?

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch again, it was 04:30 in the afternoon.

Ji Xu should have finished school.

She thought that she was worried that Chen Yuanshuo would attack Ji Xu, so she was so uneasy. The scene of the cat dripping blood and dying in front of her eyes flashed again in her mind, and her heart trembled.Chen Yuanzhen closed his eyes subconsciously.

She touched the mobile phone on the table and called Zhou Ming.

"How is Ji Xu?"

Zhou Ming was on his way to the studio. The elementary school got out of school early in winter. He smiled and replied to Chen Yuanzhen that everything was fine.

Chen Yuanzhen stood up, frowning.

"Is there anything unusual on the road?"

"No, Ji Xu went straight home by bus after school, and I followed him all the way, watching the building he entered. Everything was normal."

Chen Yuanzhen's heart sank, and an ominous premonition slowly crawled up his spine.

With Chen Yuanshuo's character, it is absolutely impossible to sit idly by.

Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment and that little guy didn't report to Zhang Kecheng?

Chen Yuanzhen's palms were covered with sweat, and her heart seemed to be growing grass.

No, no.

She is the clearest about the thoughts of that kind of person, but it is absolutely impossible that something went wrong here.

Suddenly, Chen Yuanzhen seemed to be struck by a lightning bolt. Her body trembled and she hurriedly shouted to the mobile phone: "Go to the People's Hospital right now and wait for me in the underground garage!"

After Chen Yuanzhen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and hurriedly searched for his coat.

Seeing Chen Yuanzhen's pale face, Liao Tezhu's heart sank. She quickly stepped forward and picked up the coat that Chen Yuanzhen had just taken off and handed it to her who was in a hurry, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yuanzhen's complexion was heavy. She grabbed the coat and put it on her body, and raised her eyes to look at Liao Tezhu.

There was regret and sadness in her eyes.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Chen Yuanzhen said with a trembling voice, she stretched out her hand, "You give me the car keys, and you go downstairs to Ji Xu's and watch now."

"Then you..." Assistant Liao quickly took out the car key from his pocket and put it in Chen Yuanzhen's hand.

Chen Yuanzhen held the key tightly and didn't answer her, she walked out of the room quickly.

Walking out the door, Chen Yuanzhen glanced at the elevator. The elevator was still on the top floor of the building. She couldn't stand still and wait, so she pushed open the door of the stairwell.

Her studio is on the tenth floor of this building, and she quickly went downstairs while putting on her coat.

"Ji Ciwen, you must persevere... you must persevere..." She muttered silently, not daring to stop for a moment, the sound of her slightly heeled shoes hitting the steps was like a urging drumbeat Usually, the cold air in the stairwell felt like waves of heat burning on her body.

She rushed out of the building and went straight to the parking lot, the black car speeding down the road like an arrow.

When she arrived at the hospital, Zhou Ming was already waiting for her in the parking lot. After she got out of the car, she and Zhou Ming rushed to Ji Ciwen's ward.

It is now past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky has become pitch black. Many family members accompanying the patients are going to have dinner, and the corridors of the ward are quiet.

Just in case, Chen Yuanzhen and Zhou Ming walked up the stairs to the fifth floor of the inpatient building. She just opened the door of the stairwell slightly, and then quickly closed it.

She dodged and hid behind the door, pointed at Zhou Ming behind her and raised a finger to her lips.

Outside the door, Chen Yuanshuo and Zhang Kecheng were waiting for the elevator.

Zhou Ming didn't dare to show his breath at the moment. He stood opposite Chen Yuanzhen, and saw that the expression on Chen Yuanzhen's face that was always easy to handle disappeared at this moment, replaced by a kind of sadness.

Chen Yuanzhen bit her lip tightly.

She is late.

Powerlessness and sadness almost drowned her like a rising tide at this time,

She knew what kind of guy Chen Yuanshuo was, but she couldn't stop him.

The cat that died tragically, she was also like this at that time, hiding behind a wall, covering her mouth and not daring to make a sound, until Chen Yuanshuo left, she dared to run over crying, holding the cat all over her body It was the body of blood, and at the end he secretly buried the cat.

When she buried the cat, she cried and swore that she would never let this happen again.

She closed her eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore, she was afraid that if she thought about it again, she would become desperate.

Seeing Chen Yuanzhen's appearance, Zhou Ming's face became more and more serious.Although Chen Yuanzhen didn't describe his own affairs too carefully, Zhou Ming understood how much heavy things Chen Yuanzhen was carrying in his heart.

He has been with Chen Yuanzhen for these years, and he has already experienced Chen Yuanshuo's viciousness.Now that this bastard found Ji Ciwen's ward, even if he didn't dare to do anything, he would probably say something rude and stimulate Ji Ciwen's already weak body.

Zhou Ming didn't need to imagine how much this would hit Chen Yuanzhen.

He thought that in the face of such a big blow, no matter how strong Chen Yuan Zhenrao was, he would shed a few tears.

But Chen Yuanzhen just bit her lip and bowed her head in silence for a while, when she raised her head again, Zhou Ming saw that her expression was normal.

Chen Yuanzhen slightly pushed open a crack in the door, and was relieved to see that there was no one outside the door.

"Give me your mobile phone." Chen Yuanzhen whispered to him.

Zhou Ming hurriedly handed her the phone.

Chen Yuanzhen edited a text message with Zhou Ming's mobile phone, and then skillfully entered a series of numbers. After clicking send, she returned the mobile phone to him.

"Change the mobile phone card, this number is invalid."

After she finished speaking, she went straight to the stairs and went downstairs.

Her steps were quick and well-ordered, and she looked as calm as ever.

Ji Cixi, who was sitting on the bus home, felt the phone vibrate in her pocket. She took out the phone and saw a text message from a stranger.

Text messages are short.

"Go to the hospital, hurry up."

Ji Cixi frowned, she looked at the string of numbers, thought for a long time but couldn't remember who it was.

to the hospital?

Ji Cixi pursed her lips, she sent a message "Are you?", but got no answer.

She looked up at the stop sign hanging on the carriage, got off at the next stop, and walked a short distance to the hospital.

Is this a scam text message?

But the text message didn't mention anything about money, and no matter what I asked, the other party didn't respond.

She hesitated for a while, and finally called Ji Xu who was at home, saying that she would be home later and asked him to order takeaway for dinner.

When the bus arrived at the stop, Ji Cixi quickly got off the bus.

After experiencing the previous events, Ji Cixi is particularly sensitive to the word hospital.

Even if it's a waste of time, at least you can feel at ease.

However, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the hospital, she received a call from the doctor.

The doctor issued a critical illness notice, even if the doctor didn't say the phone number, Ji Cixi understood what it meant.

Ji Cixi almost didn't hold onto her mobile phone, so she ran away. When she opened the door of the ward, sweating profusely, what she saw was the blood-stained sheets thrown on the floor.

Ji Ciwen vomited blood.

Several doctors surrounded Ji Ciwen, seeing Ji Cixi rushing into the ward panting, Ji Ciwen raised his weak hand.

The doctor understood what Ji Ciwen meant, and left in silence.

Ji Cixi staggered to Ji Ciwen's side, her mouth was slightly open, her bloodless lips trembling unceasingly.

She squatted down beside Ji Ciwen, and Ji Ciwen lowered his hand, just enough to touch her soft and black hair.

"You're here..." Ji Ciwen forced a smile as usual.

"You'll be fine." Ji Cixi said.

"Xuer, he... cough... Is he taller than before?"

"You'll be fine." Ji Cixi's eyes straightened.

"You keep asking...who is the father of the child...cough cough cough" Ji Ciwen coughed violently as she spoke, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she gasped.

Ji Cixi stood up, her face still expressionless.

"Stop talking, I'll go find a doctor." She was about to turn around as she spoke, but at this moment, Ji Ciwen's exhausted hand tightly grasped Ji Cixi's wrist.

"Chen..." Her voice became weaker and weaker, "Chen...Chen...Chen Yuan...Chen Yuanyang."

Ji Cixi turned her head and saw Ji Ciwen's tear-filled eyes filled with sadness.

Her tears ran across her bluish-white cheeks, and her lips moved constantly, like a dying fish out of water.

"Dad...Mom...I'm sorry...I'm sorry, I can go there now, cough cough cough...go there, and make amends to the elder...It's also very good."

Ji Cixi's mind went blank at this moment.

Ji Ciwen knew that her parents had passed away, how did she know?And that Chen Yuanyang, what's going on.

These questions lingered in her mind, but she was powerless to think.

After Ji Ciwen finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and when the tears in the corners of her eyes fell into the snow-white pillow, she stopped breathing.The hand holding Ji Cixi's wrist fell heavily, Ji Cixi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

When Ji Ciwen's hand left Ji Cixi's wrist, Ji Cixi wanted to grab it, as if he was grabbing Ji Ciwen's fragile life.

But she didn't have time, just like she didn't have time to call her sister again.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Ji Ciwen's face.

Trembling, she stretched out her hand, brushed across the corner of Ji Ciwen's eyes, and wiped away her remaining tears in this world.

The doctors also entered the ward one after another at this time, and after announcing the time of death, they covered Ji Ciwen's face with white sheets.

Ji Cixi just stood at the original position, watching the doctor take care of everything dumbly, until finally Ji Ciwen's body was pushed to the morgue.

She remained expressionless the whole time as usual, neither crying nor shouting.The doctor walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder to express his condolences, but she didn't respond.

She went to the mortuary with the medical staff, went through the formalities of preserving the body, and then followed the nurse to count Ji Ciwen's belongings.

Ji Ciwen didn't have anything of his own, the only thing he had were two sweaters knitted for Ji Xu, one of which was not completely finished, and the sweater needles were entangled in bright yellow yarn balls.

Ji Cixi borrowed a commodity bag from the nurse and packed her things.

She said she would come over tomorrow to go through the rest of the formalities, and then left the hospital.

After walking out of the hospital, Ji Cixi first called the counseling agency and asked for a week off. After that, she called a few parents and postponed all the classes for a week.

When she was standing at the entrance of the hospital and making a phone call, Chen Yuanzhen was in the car not far away.

Seeing Ji Cixi calmly talking on the phone, her heart throbbed with pain.

She asked in a cold voice, "Have you saved the recorder?"

Zhou Ming nodded, "It's already taken out, I'll get it later."

"Chen Yuanshuo is an idiot." Chen Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Does he think this is forcing Chen Yuanyang? Once Ji Ciwen died, Chen Yuanyang immediately became Ji Xu's legal guardian. He and his brother are really as stupid as he is. "

"Then you plan to..."

Chen Yuanzhen's face was sullen, she watched Ji Cixi leave quickly after making the phone call, and sighed.

"The video needs to be taken out ahead of time." She said, and patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder, "Get out of the car and get the recorder, and then go home."

Zhou Ming knew that Chen Yuanzhen was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much and got out of the car directly.

Chen Yuanzhen got out of the car, got into the cab and sat down, followed Ji Cixi in the car.

Ji Cixi was walking on this side of the street, and she followed slowly on the opposite side of the street. She saw Ji Cixi went to that small shop again, and walked out with a plastic bag shortly after.

Chen Yuanzhen lowered her thick eyelashes, she knew without looking, Ji Cixi brought another bag full of ice cubes.

"This will ruin your body, you idiot." She muttered silently, and looked at Ji Cixi again.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening, and there were not many people on the street. Ji Cixi walked slowly, the wind blew her hair and captivated her sight, she didn't respond, and just continued to walk forward.

She walked for a while, then stopped.He took out a pack of ice from the bag, opened it against the cold wind, and stuffed two pieces into his mouth.

She chewed the ice cubes and walked forward with a blank expression. The taste of swallowing ice in the cold wind was not good. Ji Cixi only felt that her whole body was extremely cold, but she kept stuffing ice cubes into her mouth.

She wants to calm herself down quickly, she must calm down quickly.

Chen Yuanzhen, who had been watching her all the time, was in a state of confusion at this moment. She wanted to get out of the car more than once, wanting to stop her from harassing her body.But reason told her that she couldn't do it now.

She knew that Ji Ciwen would definitely tell Ji Cixi who the father of the child was before he died, and Ji Cixi was not a fool, so she could probably guess who Chen Yuanzhen was at this moment.

She can no longer stimulate Ji Cixi who is on the verge of collapse.

Chen Yuanzhen turned her face away, she couldn't bear to look at Ji Cixi again, but even if she didn't look at her, it didn't make her feel better.

She hated herself for missing a step when thinking about things, and also hated Chen Yuanshuo for being cruel.

After all, she still underestimated Chen Yuanshuo, thinking that he would not attack a patient.

"Chen Yuanzhen...why are you still so naive until now?" She scolded herself in her heart.

Ji Cixi had already eaten three packs of ice cubes at this time, and when she was about to open the fourth pack, she stopped suddenly.

She went to the trash can, spit out the ice cubes she hadn't had time to chew, and then threw the plastic bag containing the ice cubes into the trash can.

She knew that if she ate all these ice cubes tonight, she would definitely collapse.

But she can't fall down yet. Although Ji Ciwen died, she left behind Ji Xu.

I have lost my parents, and now I have no sister.

In this world, Ji Xu is the only family member left.

She can no longer allow herself to lose Ji Xu.

Thinking of this, Ji Cixi suddenly started to run.
