Chapter 72 Memories come flooding in
Xiao Heqi coughed even more violently.
His ears turned red and he said coldly: "Who told you that I had no heir?"
Jian Ning read the mission description again.
[In the world of cultivating immortals, the Jichen Sect dominates the world by virtue of its super strength. Unfortunately, the Xiao family has only a few heirs, and the crisis of extinct heirs has emerged. In order to expand the connections of this sect, please save the Jichen Sect in danger. The mission is triggered! 】
It turned out that she had misjudged the crisis.
She thought Xiao Heqi had some dysfunction in that area, but in fact it was because he was about to die, so this crisis of heirloom was not wrong.
Jian Ning withdrew her hand to feel her pulse, avoiding the embarrassing topic of Jue Si, and simply said: "You have been poisoned for a long time, and it has invaded your lungs. Even if you have the best medicine to maintain it, you will only have two years to live at most."
Xiao He straightened his sleeves, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
What she said was exactly the same as the result reached by the medical team who only served him.
In fact, this woman didn't even feel her pulse!
He looked at Jian Ning with a hint of joking in his eyes: "Didn't Dr. Jian say that he wanted to cure me?"
"I have a general direction, I have to go back and study it."
Jian Ning was not lying. She had studied hard for a week and it was not in vain. She felt more confident than before with the knowledge in her stomach.
She would have to go back and try it to find out the results.
If anything, Xiao Heqi initially had the mentality of playing house with her. But after she said that she only had two years to live, his attitude was obviously much more serious.
"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news, Doctor Jian." Xiao He stood up and looked at her casually: "Have you had lunch?"
Jian Ning shook her head and said in an accusatory tone: "Of course not. I came here at eleven o'clock and have been waiting for you here for almost half an hour."
Xiao Heqi glanced at the time on his watch: "Then I'll treat you to dinner at noon. Do you think I'm apologizing to the doctor?"
"Okay."
Jian Ning stood up neatly, just in time to save her from going back to make lunch.
Xiao Heqi drove and Jian Ning sat in the passenger seat.
Different from the tit-for-tat atmosphere in the car the first time, this time the atmosphere was obviously much softer.
The exquisite and romantic Befer restaurant is located on the top floor of the most expensive area in North City.
Jian Ning had only read about this restaurant online.
It is only open five days a week, and diners need to be greeted by staff before they can come in. Moreover, all the plates and utensils are made by artists from all over the world. Plate presentation has always been regarded as the art of food by the outside world, and the dishes are updated once a month. .
It was the first time Jian Ning came to a place like this, and she felt quite uncomfortable as if a poor man saw riches.
The waiter handed over the menu.
Jian Ning looked at the price and also clicked her tongue.
But when she thought that it was Xiao Heqi who spent the money, she became much calmer.
"Duck liver mousse, caviar tart, and this steamed bun sea urchin sushi."
She was thinking that if it tasted delicious, she would ask Nan Nan to join her next time.
The restaurant was very quiet, with only the melodious sound of violins.
The two of them ate quietly.
Until there was a sound of footsteps, and then a familiar voice came.
"Brother, Ningning, why are you here?"
Xiao Mi looked at them in surprise.
Jian Ning looked up and saw Xiao Mi and the female companion beside him, who seemed to be Xia Momo, a popular female star in the entertainment industry.
Xiao Mi immediately moved a step aside, a little further away from Xia Momo, and explained: "Ningning, she and I are discussing business cooperation, it doesn't matter."
Xia Momo saw Jian Ning and greeted like an old friend: "Jian Ning, long time no see. What have you been doing since you quit the circle?"
Jian Ning said: "I am farming."
Xia Momo chuckled, "You are so funny, you are still the same as before. Do you still remember that time, I played the heroine and you played my maid."
Jian Ning nodded: "Remember, you and the male protagonist fell in love because of the drama, are you still together now?"
The smile on Xia Momo's face froze for a moment, "No, at that time it was just for the audience to chat with each other, not really together."
After she explained, she seemed to have just seen the person opposite Jian Ning.
"Isn't this Mr. He from Sichen Technology? Hello, hello, I'm the actor Xia Momo. Please pay more attention to me if your company has any activities in the future."
Xiao Heqi raised his head, glanced at her, and responded calmly: "Yes."
The reaction was much better-tempered than Jian Ning expected.
Why is his mouth no longer poisonous now?
Xia Momo had a smile on her face, and she didn't even notice that Xiao Mi next to her looked ugly. Jian Ning estimated that it was not certain whether Xiao He would take care of her or not, but the business cooperation with Xiao Mi would probably go south.
"I'm full." Jian Ning stood up in time.
Xiao Heqi: "I'll take you back."
"Yeah."
Jian Ning responded, said goodbye to Xiao Mi and Xia Momo politely, and left.
-
Evening, Xiao family.
Xiao Mi found Xiao Heqi in his mother's former study room.
"Brother."
Xiao Heqi held the photo frame in his hand. When he saw him coming, he flipped the photo frame back on the table.
"What happened?"
Xiao Mi frowned and asked with an uneasy look on his face: "Do you really not like Ning Ning?"
Xiao Heqi said three words indifferently: "I don't like it."
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
When Xiao Ming heard this, the uneasiness on his face faded away, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, I'm pursuing her seriously, but Ning Ning said that she's been a little busy recently and it's difficult to make an appointment. Brother, what are you doing? Asked her out? ”
Xiao He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Mi: "She made an appointment with me."
Xiao Mi wanted to ask again, but Xiao Heqi's face was already a little impatient.
"If you like it, go for it. You don't have to ask me again and again. What's going on between you two has nothing to do with me. I don't need to explain my business to you."
In the past, although his brother's attitude towards him had not been very good, he would not be like this.
Xiao Mi suddenly remembered that tomorrow is his brother's birthday.
No wonder.
He pursed his lips and admitted his mistake: "Brother, I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore, I won't bother you anymore."
The study door is closed.
Xiao Heqi flipped the photo frame on the table and took it in his hand again.
In the photo frame is a half-torn photo.
The only half left was him and his mother.
Xiao Heqi reached out and touched his mother's face in the photo, and then touched himself in the photo.
Memories came flooding back.
When he was four years old.
My mother's best friend came to the door with a big belly and said she was carrying his father's child.
Everyone thinks he is young, doesn't remember things, and doesn't understand.
In fact, he remembered everything the adults said.
——"The old man asked me to live here and give birth to the child. Xiangfang, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame yourself. If you give birth to a son, he will be born weak. He may die at some time."
——"Xiangfang, the one who is not loved is the mistress. In terms of first come, first served, he and I were the first love, and you were the later one. If it weren't for your family power, Mrs. Xiao's position should have been mine. .”
——"Yes, I just deliberately got close to you and became your best friend."
——"Every time you go on a business trip, I sleep on the same bed you slept on."
He really didn't understand those words well when he was four years old, he could only vaguely feel what they meant.
Every time the mother would be unhappy for a long time because of what the woman said, and then she would hold him tightly in her arms and start crying.
Later, my mother became ill, either in the hospital or lying in bed.
On his seventh birthday, his mother got up and made him a bowl of longevity noodles.
She watched him eat the bowl of noodles, held his face, and kissed him on the forehead.
My mother's voice used to be gentle, but probably because she had been ill for a long time, her voice became weak and a bit hoarse.
"My Heqi, I must live a long life."
That night, there was lightning and thunder, and the power in the villa suddenly went out.
He was scared and wanted to find his mother.
When I opened the door, I saw my mother's hanging body.
Lightning streaked across the sky, and dazzling light came in from the window.
With the roar of thunder, and in the blink of an eye, he walked tremblingly to his mother and touched her already cold feet.
