Falling back to gl

Chapter 21

Tongzi Alley is quieter than usual after the sunny day. There are few pedestrians on the street, and many shops are closed early. They will not reopen until the water subsides and the dirt and mud on the road are cleaned.

As night fell, the sanitation brigade in orange work uniforms drove garbage trucks here to clean up and dredge. Several electric and plumbing maintenance personnel also appeared in batches, carrying tools to the nearby area to rush to repair the circuits that were destroyed in the heavy rain. etc.

There are groups of figures busy walking, and everyone is busy working, performing their duties in a messy environment, and taking the time to do their jobs well.

The paper bag in the corner was still there intact, hidden in the gray background.

Ji Cen'an didn't even touch the bag because of the remaining useless self-esteem and arrogance. He just looked away with a glance, and withdrew his quiet gaze without thinking.

Now she is also taking one step at a time, muddling along, not in a hurry.

After all, three years have passed, and the time is not bad.What's more, even if you find your eldest brother and parents, so what, they can plan her ruthlessly, run away with money, and put her in danger. Could it be that after a while, they can teach these three children to immediately repent and turn around, and then solve the problem? The big basket they poked?

The three of the Ji family are willing to come back. As long as they dare to set foot in Z city, the suffering masters who were framed will have to tear them apart one by one, not to mention that they will have to face lawsuits and go to jail.

It's also ironic to think about it, thanks to the three elder brothers who held their hands high and didn't do things too badly, it may be that their conscience found out at the critical moment, and they left two points of sympathy, otherwise Ji Cen'an would definitely not be able to bear it and walk around, and now he can't guarantee it Where is it remodeled?

At that time, Ji Cen'an was still foolish enough to call the police, but the creditors chased him to the door, and the police were dispatched quickly, and most of the sky collapsed.She stayed alone in the company and couldn't find her family members. She mistakenly thought that something happened to her parents and elder brother. She couldn't think about it for a while or encountered an accident.

Later, when the police investigated her, the relevant departments came to find out the situation and make notes, and told the whole story of the incident. She just talked about "deficiency", "Ponzi scheme" and so on. Know that it's all by design.

Everyone found nothing from her, and the police didn't find anything wrong with her. They once listed her as a witness, and worried that she would act radically if she was hit. Zeng regretted and had no choice but to do psychological work for her, expressing concern , I advise you to be more open, let me not go to extremes, comfort will definitely try my best to find those scourges.

But after so long, that case has been suppressed for the time being, and the police are helpless about it, let alone she faces it weakly.

Ji Cen'an is not that capable, the only thing he can do is to find clues to provide to the police, let the judicial system intervene, and deal with it according to the law and correct procedures.

But the premise is that there must be clues, and you can’t just jump out and accuse whoever has a problem, talk about conspiracy theories without evidence, and require people to be checked, that’s against the rules.

In the same way, some creditors who hated their teeth itchingly played dirty tricks in order to understand their anger. They were so angry that they wanted to kill her for revenge, but Ji Cen'an couldn't do anything because he didn't catch the evidence. Get away from this place of right and wrong, not to be found by creditors.

Without strong clues, sufficient evidence, and no real party involved, Ji Cen'an's account will not be written off.

Even if they are legally innocent, they are not ethically and socially moral.

In the final analysis, she lived a chic life for more than [-] years, and she didn't use the Ji family's money, so she couldn't get involved.

Ji Cen'an has this self-awareness, and he still had hope in the past, wishing wildly that one day his family could return to China to mend the situation, clean up the mess, or give her a hand for the sake of family affection, at least care about her, now he has given up , will not be as simple as a ridiculous fool.

If the rest of the Ji family really couldn't let go of their worries, they wouldn't abandon her, at least they had to give her a way out.But not only did they not have it, they even didn't see a word of news until now, as if she was dead.

On the one hand, Ji Cen'an didn't want to entrust others into the water, no matter if it was Uncle Yang or whoever.

On the other hand, once she finds out what's going on with Pei Shaoyang, she probably won't continue to contact Uncle Yang—from today onwards, she will gradually reduce her contacts and try not to let him get into this troubled water.

The people behind have already touched Yang Kaiming's place, they must know that Uncle Yang is in contact with her, and they probably have been lurking in secret for a long time.

She can't act rashly, she should keep a low profile for a few days, and let's see how to pass this period peacefully.

As for the safety of Uncle Yang's family, there is no need to worry about it.

A society ruled by law is not like making movies, how can it be as chaotic as the acting, the black forces must not be allowed, and it is the era of advanced Internet, those people will not dare to mess around on the surface, at most they can't play. With the small means on the table, he would not casually attack her before he found her.

After weighing it up and clarifying the current direction, Ji Cen'an's heart is not so chaotic, and his rational thoughts returned, and his whole body is much calmer.

After resting enough, Ji Cen'an returned to normal, packed up and went out to buy food, bought a lot of dried noodles and a small portion of green vegetables, and brought back two packs of pickled radish and starchy ham sausage.

The food in the plastic bag does not exceed 20 yuan, which can last a week.

The next two days remained the same, dull and boring, and extremely boring.

Ji Cen settled down and applied for a short-term job steadily. During this period, he squatted near Guo Jinyun's residence several times.

It's only been a while, Guo Jinyun, who doesn't have a long memory, has forgotten what happened in the clubhouse, and has been wagging his tail again in recent days, wandering around from morning to night, going out to have fun when he is free, inviting friends to race cars to relax, People hold parties to show off, but they don't know what it means to be low-key.

He has a big heart, and he touts the creed of enjoying life until death. He eats and drinks all day long, and at night he will specially spend money in well-known bars. On the contrary, they will go crazy, kicking cars and beating people in the street, and they can't be stopped.

Duo Duo's brain has a hole, and he is getting more and more irritable, looking like a fool with a serious illness.

Ji Cen'an didn't approach him, and only watched from a distance every time, hiding in a corner to observe, trying to find out the connection between Guo Jinyun and Pei Shaoyang, to see if he could discover their private secrets by following the clues.

But Guo Jinyun never looked for Pei Shaoyang once, as if he didn't know this person at all, let alone climbed up to this cousin, he didn't even enter Pei Shaoyang's territory.

Wherever Pei Shaoyang goes, where this person often appears, such as the company, Guo Jinyun will never appear there, and he will go to the opposite East District when he drinks and buys drunk.

Looking at it this way, it seems that they are really out of reach, and they really don't have that layer of unknown tricks, but Ji Cen'an is more and more convinced that they have something to do.

You know, in the past, Guo Jinyun was obedient to Pei Shaoyang, and he respected this relative more than his own father. It can be said that Pei Shaoyang was Guo Jinyun's first object of curry favor. Pulling close, and now suddenly alienated, it seems unusual, and there is a big problem at first sight.

A shameless guy like Guo Jinyun would kneel down and give up his smile for the sake of gain, so that he could give up his golden thigh, most likely in exchange for greater benefits.

If not, he would have to lick Pei Shaoyang back even if he licked it.

Ji Cen'an knew Guo Jinyun too well, he had a thorough understanding of his virtues, and he could guess without asking.

Soft Knee has been like this all his life, treating his face as nothing and having no dignity at all.

After checking the details over there, Ji Cen'an backed away and pretended he didn't know anything.

She found a new part-time job, went to the Internet cafe that A Chong had mentioned to try her luck, and applied for the job with a daily salary of [-] yuan.

I am still a temporary handyman, and I am responsible for helping customers with computer problems, running errands, delivering water, and food.

The Internet cafe is short of people at night, and Ji Cen'an works the night shift. He has to work from 11:30 at night to [-]:[-] the next day, and occasionally needs to help with the cash register.

Compared with the time in the small bar, the salary here is nearly twice as high, but the level of hardship is far more than that of working in the back kitchen.The manager of the Internet cafe didn’t treat his employees as human beings, and his ability to squeeze everyone was even more exaggerated than Zhang Linrong. He was afraid that the employees would be lazy and not work, so he opened his mouth and urged everyone to do this and that, and he couldn’t stop for a moment.

On the first day of Ji Cen'an's new shift, he was called to mop the floor and wipe the table. It was obviously cleaning work, but the supervisor just didn't worry, thinking that cleaning was only done during the day, and they had to continue at night.

The supervisor is a relative of the boss's natal family, so he can't be offended. All the employees put up with him and let him perform and sing big plays as he pleases.

An old employee talked to Ji Cen'an for a while, telling him not to have common knowledge with him, just deal with it a little bit.

Ji Cen'an has a good temper, anyway, he always does work, and it's not impossible to do cleaning.She accepted it normally, and withdrew when the time came, and left without looking back when she got her wages.

Fortunately, the supervisor is quick to give the money, and will not deduct a point, and even does not need the employees to ask for it themselves, which is not as annoying as Zhang Linrong.

This aspect is good, and it can be regarded as an advantage.

Internet cafes do not include meals, drinks are free, and mobile phones are allowed to surf the Internet when you are free.As long as you don't demolish the house, don't disturb the guests, and you can be there when you need it, you can do whatever else you like.

Moreover, the full-time employees here are also covered with five social insurances and one housing fund, so they look decent, and their treatment is better than that of small bars.

Having found a barely stable new job, Ji Cen'an hesitated for a while, and then informed A Chong.

A Chong was very happy, asked a lot of questions, and said: "Actually, Qi Rui found the place. He often came to your place to play games all night in the past two years, and he also knows those people."

Ji Cen hummed, but still only thanked A Chong.

A Chong smiled, and asked her to be a guest when she had time, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, you can try to become a regular employee as soon as possible. It's also very good. I almost went there last year, but I don't know how to use computers. I don’t understand, people won’t recruit me.”

Ah Chong couldn't change his long-winded habit, he would babble as soon as he opened his mouth, he loved to chatter, and he also loved to chatter. He talked about her little days, and soon talked about the small bar, saying that after Ji Cen'an left, she and Chen Qirui had both I couldn't get used to it. The new one always made mistakes, his head was numb, he was not smart at all, and he couldn't even remember the customer's order.

Ji Cen'an wanted to hang up the phone, he didn't like to hear these things, but he didn't.

But she didn't have anything to say, and she wasn't interested in it, so she seldom replied.

"If you have anything you can tell Qi Rui, just go to him, and ask his friend to help you if you have any trouble." A Chong said, smiled, and then didn't disturb her rest, and he knew it was time to hang up the phone.

Ji Cen'an naturally wouldn't look for Chen Qirui, he didn't have that idea, and he didn't want to have a relationship with him.

But her thoughts didn't matter, because A Chong was in the middle to help, the next day, when she went to watch the night at the Internet cafe, a boy with a baby face came over to greet her enthusiastically and asked her: "You are Jiang Can, right? I'm Chen Qirui's brother. We live together."

The baby face is familiar, and she also knows A Chong. She was entrusted by a friend to take care of her, and she behaves in the same way. She completely treats Ji Cen'an as her own.

Ji Cen'an didn't intend to meet new friends, so he nodded in a lukewarm manner, and responded.

"Ah."

But Babyface didn't mind her attitude, because he had heard A Chong and the others talk about her a long time ago, he knew what kind of temperament she was, and knew that she had no bad intentions, so he didn't have to worry too much about it.

"I also work night shift, and we will be partners from now on." Babyface said, smiling carelessly.

Ji Cen'an didn't take a fancy to his partner, so if he smelled it, he would treat it as fart, and let it go after hearing it.

That night, for the purpose of showing goodwill, Babyface even invited Ji Cen'an to have supper.

After Ji Cen'an wiped the table and went back, the man generously gave her a cold grilled skewer, put it in her hand, and said: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it will be cold later, it will harden when it is cold, and you can't eat it." move."

She doesn't like heavy food, but she still accepts it, and eats it as soon as it is offered, as a way to fill her stomach.

After eating, Babyface told the truth, saying that the barbecue was unclaimed, some customers ordered takeaway and refused to eat, or left temporarily and sent it to the cashier at the front desk. He was actually borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

Ji Cen'an asked, "Who sent it?"

The baby face took a sip of water, and said with a big heart: "This is not a gift. I just picked it up from the table. It seems that it hasn't been touched. It's a pity to throw it away. It's a waste."

Ji Cen'an: "..."

The Internet cafe is far away from Tongzi Alley, about an hour by bus. It is located near the university town, about two streets away.

There are more student groups here, which is convenient for doing business, and the Internet cafes in the surrounding areas are all supported by the student party.Even during the winter and summer vacations, the college students who stayed at the school would still come here to play games online, and most of them stayed here in groups of three or four.

The University of Science and Technology is also nearby, and it can be reached within 10 minutes on foot.

There are a lot of boys coming over there, almost half of the guests are from the Polytechnic University.

Ji Cen'an is familiar with the terrain and knows where the place is, but he never wanders outside in his free time, and never steps into the area of ​​the Polytechnic University.

But Babyface and the others like to go over there to turn around, and sometimes go there for supper, and ask Chen Qirui and the others to drink and chat.

Chen Qirui came to the Internet cafe once, playing games here after get off work, his eyeballs almost climbed to the top of his head when he came in, and he didn't look at Ji Cen'an once.

I don't know where he offended this air bag. He has a lot of opinions on Ji Cen'an, and he doesn't even exchange pleasantries when he meets him.

Ji Cen'an would not take the initiative to talk to the other party, and he would not call out when he saw it, and he knew it with half-closed eyelids.

Babyface chatted with Ji Cen'an in private, saying: "Qi Rui hasn't been here for a long time, today is a rare visit, and he is also a rare visitor."

"Oh." Ji Cen'an said, not looking forward to seeing him.

An unintentional sentence, the baby face has no other meaning, and after finishing speaking, it turns to another topic, chatting with others while yawning, asking about the work in the bar, and after a while, he joins in scolding Zhang Linrong, saying that the dog is stingy, expressing I also worked in a bar myself.

Babyface is not very old, the same age as A Chong, and a few years younger than Ji Cen'an and the others, but this child's mouth is very broken, which is quite true to A Chong, always rambling.

He asked Ji Cen'an: "Do you have a date?"

Ji Cen'an squinted at the past, "What?"

He said, "Just ask. Is there any?"

Ji Cen settled down and didn't answer.

The baby's face was noisy, her arms were on the table, her face was supported by her hands, and she suddenly praised her sincerely: "You are so beautiful, you should have one, and you can't tell if you are single."

Where is this...

Unwilling to talk about these private matters, Ji Cen'an frowned, calmly repelling the other party's talkativeness.

But Babyface was really just asking, not thinking about what to do.He talked a lot about Ji Cen'an's appearance one after another, secretly telling her who also praised her for her good looks behind her back.

A few days ago, Ji Cen'an was working in another place. Most of the time, Ji Cen'an wore a mask and a hat, or stayed in a place where there were no people in the back kitchen. Few of her colleagues paid attention to her appearance. There is nothing charming about it.

But when I went to the Internet cafe, there were mostly young people here. Even though she was still dressed like that, with a peaked cap on her body from time to time, and she couldn't see the whole face with her head down, everyone paid more attention to her.

Ji Cen'an's tall and handsome figure attracted much attention. Even if she was wearing an old T-shirt and washed-white jeans, her shoes were tattered and inconspicuous. Her external condition was very ordinary, but her stature was enough to catch the eye.

With a height of 1.7 meters [-], her straight long legs are very eye-catching. With this condition, it doesn't matter what her face looks like.

Besides, she looks like a beautiful woman, although sometimes she looks disheartened and is indifferent to everyone, but the young people don't care about this, and they are all youthful and restless, always sneaking a sneak peek at her.

Many people have already asked Babyface for her contact information, either asking for a phone number or a social account, and some even wanted to ask her out for dinner through Babyface.

Babyface is not good at what to do, so let's check her tone first, and say: "They are all acquaintances, if you want to make friends, it depends on your wishes."

He also winked meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "I still have some photos here. They are really handsome, serious college students, and I think they are okay. If you don't have a date, you can also look at the photos first." ,How about it?"

Ji Cen'an didn't have the slightest intention, and said bluntly: "No need."

A little impatient, not thinking about that.

The baby face knew the fun, made a gesture, and said with a wink: "OK, I understand, I will help you reject it in the future."

Don't bother her anymore, just stop when it's almost done.

I worked in the Internet cafe for a week, seven days in a row, and everything went smoothly without any problems.

Maybe it was due to no fate, or maybe it was destined to be lucky, Ji Cen'an was not able to meet people he shouldn't have met like in the beginning.

Also at the University of Science and Technology, Xu Xingjian came to work almost every day, went in and out of the school several times, and did not drive a few times. Instead, he took a taxi or took a bus outside the school in a very down-to-earth manner.

But Ji Cen'an had never met Xu Xingjian head-on, nor had he met Nanjia.

As if all of a sudden, these two people disappeared without a trace.

The connection between the two sides was cut off cleanly.

Ji Cen'an didn't know about Nanjia's recent situation, and didn't have too many thoughts. He pretended that he hadn't contacted Nanjia since he came back.

Since the last time I saw this pair of Bi people on the TV news, Ji Cen'an gradually knew some things, including what Nanjia was doing in recent years, what happened to Xu Xingjian, and how far the two of them had developed.

Nanjia's current main business direction is no longer the road of design. She has changed the field of investment. Last year, she made a name for herself with the help of the Internet. She has become an upstart in the upper circle of Z City. The No. [-] trend among young people is hot big shots.

Xu Xingjian is not bad in the past few years, his academic attainment has improved to a higher level, and he has become very prosperous. He is now a very famous young professor with a bright future, the hope of the industry, and a leading role in the future. ...Compared to the original level, Xu Xingjian has achieved a great leap forward, and has risen several levels in succession.

And the same as before, what remains unchanged is that they are still an enviable couple in the eyes of the public. They belong to a strong alliance. superior.

At the charity event last week, Nanjia attended the event as an artist, and Xu Xingjian was not far behind, participating as a photographer.The two were really right, and they followed each other like a shadow on the scene, from the beginning to the end, they were in pairs.

In the news reports, the media directly named Xu Xingjian as "fiancé", as if they would get married sooner or later.

Ji Cen'an searched the Internet, and all the news he could find were similar bundles, basically which public welfare activities these two people attended together, what evening parties they attended, and what contributions they made.

There are not many related reports, but judging from the photos alone, Nanjia and Xu Xingjian have a very close relationship, which seems to be the case.

Ji Cen'an didn't go to confirm it, and he couldn't confirm it, so far he just had a look.

No matter what, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, whether it's true or not.

Anyway, during the two years they were together, Nanjia was unwilling to attend various occasions with Ji Cen'an, unwilling to disclose their relationship, and did not want to appear as her girlfriend, or go out as ordinary friends.

Once, when they had just eased from the stalemate and wanted to coax Nanjia, Ji Cen'an took her to a private banquet held by an art master, intending to introduce some like-minded people to Nanjia, so as to help Nanjia Let's expand Nanga's social circle.

The whole process went smoothly that day, and Nanjia didn't show disgust on the surface, but after leaving the banquet and having a small gathering with some friends alone, Nanjia kept a cold face on the way back, and she didn't want to touch her.

When they returned to Beiyuan, they had a big fight. Ji Cen'an didn't understand what Nanjia wanted, and what happened to the face-shaking.

Nanjia didn't explain, just said she was disgusting and shameless.

The two almost broke up again because of this, and the quarrel couldn't end.

It was only later that Ji Cen'an figured out the meaning. Thinking about what happened that day, he knew that the trouble should be caused by the small gathering.

That small gathering was indeed a bit unpleasant, but it wasn't her fault. It was a friend who brought a disobedient little lover there, and did some things on the spot to make the woman unable to step down, which made the woman embarrassed and angry.That friend is also a piece of rubbish, he didn't give up when he provoked others, and without saying a word, he threw a handful of money and threw it in the girl's face, cursing and making the scene extremely embarrassing.

He does not mean that.

Some words did not come from Ji Cen'an's mouth, but they were heard in Nanjia's ears. In addition, Ji Cen'an had a brain twitch a few days ago. Giving Nanjia a villa, as if the relationship between the two of them was improper, It was quite insulting, and the two sides fell out.

Ji Cen'an felt that Nanjia was noble and would seek trouble for nothing, but Nanjia was very stubborn and was not satisfied with what he did, and there was no solution to this matter in the end.

However, in that news, Nanjia and Xu Xingjian didn't seem to be that noble compared to them back then.

Everyone thinks that they are a good match, but it is the difference between having money and not having money. Xu Xingjian can also be regarded as a little boy, but he is blessed with the status of a professor, so he is not so "ugly" to a certain extent.

Returning from get off work early in the morning, Ji Cen'an got on the bus exhausted, found a seat, and closed his eyes to rest his mind as soon as he sat down.

The summer in the south is very easy to get damp, the air humidity is high, the weather is hot, but the humidity is heavy.

The paper bag was picked up from the floor and placed on the side of the bed instead.

A little more calm, Ji Cen'an went to Uncle Yang's place again.But instead of looking for someone in the past, I just secretly see if Uncle Yang's family is doing well and if there are any suspicious elements pestering them.

Probably because the connection was disconnected in time, those people who had found Uncle Yang's side disappeared, and everything seemed normal.

——It may also be hiding somewhere, waiting patiently for Ji Cen'an to throw himself into the trap.

But no matter what, no one attacked Uncle Yang's family, so it looks good so far.

Ji Cen'an was worried that those people behind him would do something by any means, such as threatening Uncle Yang's children's jobs, but he didn't.

This is fine, nothing else matters, this is enough.

Ji Cen'an was heartbroken, seeing that the old man and his family were safe, he left quietly that day.

Of course, apart from Uncle Yang, Ji Cen'an no longer interacted with A Chong and the others, and gradually moved away.

Everyone has their own life, we are not in the same world, there is no need to communicate too much.

A Chong called Ji Cen'an again, but Ji Cen'an didn't answer and ignored him.

It's okay to call, just ask from the standpoint of a friend.She didn't answer, once or twice...Ah Chong naturally stopped calling after a few more times.

Ji Cen'an made up his mind to push away those miscellaneous things, concentrate on working, focus on Guo Jinyun's movements, and calculate the rental period of the house, planning to find a new rental house in a few days.

Not staying in a fixed house for too long, one or two months is the limit, it's time to move.

There is no deposit required for the house in Tongzi Lane, as long as the money is paid on time every month, she can move out at any time.

Ji Cen'an intends to move to another part of the village in the city, and he will act as soon as possible, so he will wait until the lease term here expires.

The landlord didn't know about her not renewing the lease, and he came over to urge the rent once in the middle, telling him to pay next month's rent quickly, and said that he should collect a deposit, which he forgot to collect earlier, and asked Ji Cen'an to pay next month. Fill.

It seemed that Ji Cen'an really wanted to rent this place, and he would not forgive others, as if he was a great kind person, and renting a house to Ji Cen'an was purely doing good deeds.

Ji Cen'an didn't intend to pay the rent, nor did he tell the truth.

I have to collect money and wait until I come back next month, and I will give it at that time.

The landlord had nothing to do with it, and was afraid that she would stop renting if he was in a hurry, so he left empty-handed after talking about it for a long time.

It is not easy to rent out a room in this dilapidated house. There are already other tenants in the same building who are not renting out. If she is forced to leave, there is no guarantee when a new tenant will be found. How can the landlord be willing.

It is not difficult to find a new house in a village in the city, and there are a lot of rented houses that cost a few hundred yuan.Ji Cen'an found a new residence within a day, and the price was more suitable, not much more expensive than here.

She thought it would be over the next day, but on this day, a small episode happened that delayed the process.

Chen Qirui went to the Internet cafe for the second time to stay overnight, passed by her and stopped for a while, seemingly unintentionally said: "Something happened to Ah Chong's family."

Ji Cen'an didn't care about his business, and didn't even move his eyelids.

Chen Qirui panicked, ignored her indifference, smoked a cigarette in front of her, and talked nonchalantly.

——A Chong's old mother fell ill, and she was quite sick. Her son, who can't speak well, has not been well recently, and he has a cold and accumulated food.Ah Chong is having a hard time right now. He has to work while taking care of his mother and children.

Chen Qirui let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Xiaoyu will enter kindergarten next semester, so he must have no money."

Ji Cen'an pretended to be deaf and buried himself in his work.

"You're quite free during the day." Chen Qirui said, targeting her.

Ji Cen'an didn't answer, and asked after a while: "Aren't you free too?"

Chen Qirui handed over a cigarette, and said honestly, "Yeah, but I can't take care of it alone, I need a helper."

Ji Cen'an would not agree, and there was no need to discuss it.

She was only a few catties, and if she wanted to show mercy to others, she had to see if she had the ability... She told Chen Qirui to get the hell out of here, so that he wouldn't get in the way of his work.

Chen Qirui rolled quickly. Before leaving, he gave her the hospital address and ward number, and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, you go to pick up a shift. Ah Chong doesn't have time, and I can't go either. Zhang Linrong asked me to help move the goods."

The hospital is not far from here, just a few bus stops away.

Ah Chong's mother was lying on the hospital bed with difficulty to breathe, she was so thin that she looked haggard, and she completely lost her previous complexion.

Ji Cen'an couldn't help much, so he went to the hospital to help guard for a long time, and when Ah Chong came, he helped take Xiaoyu with him.

The child was afraid of injections, so when he saw the nurse coming in to fetch water for his grandmother, he cried in fright, and his voice could be heard two miles away.

In order not to add to the chaos, Ji Cen'an carried the little radish head outside with one hand to let him cry enough, instead of mourning in the ward, he went to a supermarket not far from the hospital to buy a couple of candies to stuff the poor child's mouth.

Back on the first floor of the inpatient department, Xiaoyu stopped crying and called "Auntie" while hugging her.

Ji Cen'an didn't recognize his cheap relatives, and squatted down to pat the child's back.

"While playing, don't go too far."

The child didn't want to play, held her and refused to let go, wriggled around, and accidentally bumped into the oncoming person.

Subconsciously, Ji Cen'an first raised his hand to protect the child. He didn't see what the person who was bumped into was like. He didn't realize the abnormality until he stood up holding Xiaoyu.

The moment their eyes met, both sides paused.

On the opposite side two or three steps away, Nanjia and a middle-aged woman stood there, Nanjia supported each other, and the eyebrows of the two looked somewhat similar.

Accompanied by Xu Xingjian and two unfamiliar faces.

They were all accompanying her to see a doctor, so they happened to run into each other.

The middle-aged woman, Ji Cen'an, also recognized her as Nanjia's sister-in-law, whom she met once.

Probably because he didn't expect to see Ji Cen'an in this kind of place, Nanjia was slightly taken aback, but then closed his eyes again, showing nothing wrong.

Ji Cen'an was still dressed in the hat and mask, and she was holding a child. Most people really couldn't recognize her at a glance.

On the opposite side, only Nanjia responded. Xu Xingjian and the others only cared about Nanjia, and didn't pay much attention to her as an adult.

Xu Xingjian pulled Nanjia over to have a look, helped her up, and asked intimately, "Are you all right?"

Nanjia's expression remained unchanged, she shook her head and said softly, "No."

Just now, Xiaoyu bumped into him without looking at the road, acting like a child. Xu Xingjian felt a little uncomfortable because of this. He felt that the adults next to him had not fulfilled their responsibilities, and wanted to seek justice from Ji Cen'an.

But she was still stopped. Aunt Nanjia waved her hand, signaling Xu Xingjian not to be angry, she took Nanjia's arm, and said kindly, "Forget it, it's okay."

The juniors listened to the persuasion, Xu Xingjian suppressed his displeasure, and asked if Nanjia had been hit somewhere.

Nanjia didn't answer, but glanced at Ji Cen'an who lowered his head slightly, and said, "Let's go, go in first."

Only now did Xu Xingjian take them all in, so he didn't care about it.

Ji Cen'an didn't move while holding the child, he didn't speak a word during the whole process, he didn't apologize on behalf of the child, and when he found them turned around, he didn't say anything.

Only Xiaoyu was frightened by Xu Xing's simple and serious expression, his little face was tense, the child knew something was wrong, he opened his arms and hugged Ji Cen'an tightly, and burrowed his face into Ji Cen'an's neck.I was about to cry, very timid.

Ah Chong came down at this moment, and after finishing his work in the ward, he went down to find Ji Cen'an and the others.

As soon as he saw the child like that, Ah Chong couldn't help asking the reason, and then found that Ji Cen'an was looking in another direction unintentionally, and along the way, he saw Nanjia who were waiting for the elevator not far away, as if he saw it. What, he opened his mouth and said, "You are an acquaintance, do you know each other?"

Returning to comfort the child, Ji Cen'an said softly, "No."

A Chong said: "You stare at him and think it's yours."

Ji Cen'an denied: "It's okay, I don't know people well."

Ah Chong understood, took the child and put it in his arms to hold it.

The two of them didn't stay here either. After some exchange, they turned around and took the list to get the medicine.A Chong needs Ji Cen'an's help, but he can't take care of it by himself.

They walked in opposite directions, turned a corner and were out of sight.

Here in the elevator, due to the large number of people, Nanjia and Xu Xingjian haven't gone up yet.

Nanjia stood on the outside, and didn't go in when the elevator came. It was Xu Xingjian who called it before moving.

Finding that her complexion was not very good, her red lips were pursed hard, and they were vaguely pale, Xu Xingjian was startled, thinking that she had bumped into it earlier, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?"

Nanjia didn't appreciate it, she didn't say a word, and walked straight into the elevator that had just opened as if she didn't hear her, and walked to her sister-in-law.

Xu Xingjian wanted to say something more, but another family member of the patient came in later.

They were separated and unable to speak.

Xu Xingjian has a sense of proportion, so he still doesn't talk too much.

Nanjia didn't touch it and turned a blind eye to it.
