Chapter 2 Commitment
"...That's it for today's video conference. I want to see your plan tomorrow."
Si Yanli finished the cross-country meeting and pressed the bridge of his nose in frustration.
A recent cross-border project that the group has been following has been following for three months, and something went wrong near the end.
In order to solve this situation, Si Yanli held a meeting for a day and showed a rare sign of fatigue. His knuckled hands fell on the meticulously tied tie and tugged on it. He stood up and poured himself a glass of wine.
Before the wine reached his lips, the cell phone beside him rang.
"Hey, I heard that our young master Si is going to participate in a variety show? Are you planning to quit the company and go to the sea to sell your lust?"
There were not many people in Li Du who dared to joke with Si Yanli like this. Sheng Huaian on the other side of the phone was one of them.
"I suddenly remembered that my aunt recently asked me to find a suitable partner for Yan Xi. I think the young master from the Xu family in the east of the city seems pretty good?"
"Definitely, pretend I didn't say that." After hearing Si Yanli's words, Sheng Huaian quickly admitted his mistake and returned to the topic, "Yun Ting, would you like a drink?"
Yunting is a high-end membership-only bar in Lidu. It has excellent privacy and security. This also leads to the fact that everyone in Lidu who has some money likes to join in.
"Who?"
"I know you don't like crowds, it's just me and my brother, and Sichuan Xing."
Si Yanli unconsciously tapped the car key with his fingers, expressionless, "Okay, wait."
It was almost twelve o'clock when Si Yanli arrived at Yunting, but the street was still brightly lit and bustling. After getting off the car, he threw the car keys to the parking boy at the door and walked into the lobby.
Although Yunting is a membership system, the first floor will still receive some ordinary members who are willing to give money for consumption. Si Yanli doesn't like such a noisy environment, so he quickly wants to take the elevator to the third floor.
Unexpectedly, before he even entered the elevator, there was a woman holding a wine glass who wanted to bump into him.
He turned slightly to avoid it, and the man fell directly to the ground, with drink splashing on his face, and he was in a very embarrassed state.
Si Yanli walked past her without even looking back, took the elevator, and went up to the third floor.
...
He reached out and pushed open the door of the box. As Sheng Huaian said, there were just a few of them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, we haven't seen each other for three months. Our young master Si is really getting more and more attractive as he grows older. If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with you."
Yu Chuanxing leaned on the sofa, his face full of teasing.
Sheng Huaian cooperated, "Indeed, with Master Si's face and figure, only Little Chu Qi can be completely immune."
Hearing Yu Chuqi's name, Si Yanli's already depressed mood became even more irritable. He raised his hand and poured himself half a glass of wine, then sat on the sofa and drank it all.
Her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, "Isn't she home yet?"
Yu Chuanxing nodded, "I went to the hotel after the last quarrel with me, and I never came back."
"I think it's quite strange. You said that you lost your memory in a car accident. It's ridiculous, but on the seventh day of the lunar month, isn't it a little too strange? After waking up, my temperament changed drastically. When I saw Yanyan, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. Yanxi, you You wouldn't have done anything worse than a beast to Little Chu Qi, right?"
After hearing Sheng Huai'an's analysis, it was Yu Chuanxing's turn to become uneasy, "Fuck, Yanli, although you are my brother, if you bully my sister, I will go bankrupt and die with you."
Si Yanli had a headache when he heard the two of them singing harmoniously, and began to regret going out to drink with them.
However, the young master of the Sheng family, Sheng Huaiyan, who was sitting nearby and playing with his mobile phone, said quietly, "With how lawless Mi Chong is in front of Brother Yan, I think there is a greater chance that she will do something worse than a beast to Brother Yan."
Yu Chuanxing:. . .
Sheng Huaian:. . .
What he said actually made sense, and they couldn't refute it.
"What's going on with little Chuqi and that little star? Seriously?"
"It is absolutely impossible for me to allow her to be with such a person." Yu Chuanxing became a little angry when he said this.
"I'm just confused that Chu Qi would run away from home because of such a man. You didn't care about the banquet."
Si Yanli smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his head and took a sip of wine, "How should I care about her now?"
Sheng Huai'an raised his hand and patted his shoulder, suggesting: "Brother, as Chu Qi is so passionate about Fei Yuan that even ten cows can't pull her back, you might as well tie her up and lock her up until she's gone." Until I think of you, the chances may be better."
Just as Yu Chuanxing was about to speak, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
The caller ID was the heroine they were discussing - Yu Chuqi. Yu Chuanxing was stunned and whispered "Chu Qi.".
Signing them to be silent, he picked up the phone.
Yu Chuanxing tentatively asked, "Xiao Shi?"
Yu Chuqi was born on the seventh day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar that year, which happened to be the wedding anniversary of Yu's parents and Yu's mother, so she was named Yu Chuqi, and her nickname was Xiao Shi. Of course, generally the nickname is only given by family members, and most people still use it. It is customary to call it the seventh day of the lunar month.
Yu Chuanxing waited for a long time, but there was no response from the other party. Only the sound of weak breathing came from the other party. Yu Chuanxing couldn't help but feel worried, so he slowed down his voice and spoke patiently.
"Xiao Shi, it's my brother. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
There was another moment of silence on the other side, and then a slightly crying female voice came, "It hurts..."
The box was already very quiet, and with Yu Chuanxing's cell phone turned on, the little girl's weak voice came over. Not only was Yu Chuanxing worried, but Si Yanli, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but straighten up.
"Where does it hurt? Tell my brother."
"Stomach...stomach pain..."
"Don't be afraid, brother will be here to take you to the hospital right away." Yu Chuanxing said as he picked up the car keys on the table and walked out anxiously.
Si Yanli stood up immediately and said, "I'll be with you."
"No, I'll go by myself. Chu Qi is a little afraid of you." Yu Chuanxing motioned to Sheng Huaian to help stop him, and Sheng Huaian said clearly.
"Why are you two going after drinking? Huaiyan didn't drink. Let Huaiyan drive him to Sichuan. Let's have two more drinks here?"
Si Yanli didn't respond, but Sheng Huai'an knew that he probably agreed, and used his eyes to signal Sheng Huaiyan and Yu Chuanxing to leave quickly.
……
Lidu Shengyuan Hotel.
Yu Chuanxing opened the door and saw the little girl curled up on the bed. He felt very distressed. He quickly came to the bedside and saw his sister huddled under the quilt, with pale lips and sweating profusely.
The pain in her heart felt like a needle pricking her heart, and she couldn't help but think of her lying on the hospital bed after the car accident half a year ago. Her voice was filled with subtle fear, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Shi, my brother will take you to the hospital."
Yu Chuanxing wrapped Yu Chuqi with the thin blanket on the bed, picked him up horizontally, and walked out quickly. He vaguely kicked the ice cream box that Yu Chuqi had casually thrown at the end of the bed without stopping.
However, Sheng Huaiyan, who had been leaning against the door waiting for him, noticed the two large buckets of ice cream boxes at the end of the bed, whose lids and barrels had long been separated.
1.1kg.
Two barrels.
As expected, the eldest daughter of the Yu family is extremely talented in making monsters.
It should hurt to death.
Perhaps it was because it hurt too much, or perhaps it was because Yu Chuanxing was walking too hastily. Yu Chuqi felt that not only was there a machine punching holes in his stomach, but he also felt as if he was at the top of a roller coaster.
Youyou woke up and saw the man holding her. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Coupled with her fragile psychology when she was sick, Yu Chuqi's cat pupils became hot and filled with water vapor, and she called out aggrievedly, "Brother" ".
Sheng Huaiyan looked at Yu Chuqi's amazing acting skills and was almost impressed.
It can be said that among the four major families, although Sheng Huaiyan is the most deviant and arbitrary, and due to his young age, he doesn't actually interact with them often, but his relationship is not bad after all. Yu Chuqi is an exception.
The reason why Sheng Huaiyan didn't like her was very simple. She was a delicate and weak little devil, but the elders in the family still doted on her.
Just like the way she is acting coquettishly in Yu Chuanxing's arms when she is sick, this is her tried and tested routine.
As Sheng Huaiyan thought, Yu Chuanxing did this. Seeing his sister crying so aggrievedly, it made her heartbroken. Moreover, it seemed that she had never behaved like this with him since she lost her memory. , when he thought of this, he felt even more distressed.
Sheng Huaiyan sent the two to the hospital and drove away. Yu Chuqi started vomiting after being hooked up to an intravenous drip, and developed a low fever. Yu Chuanxing stayed with the girl until midnight before she could even sleep.
Yu Chuanxing picked up his phone and found that there were seven or eight missed calls. He was afraid of waking up the little girl, so he walked outside the ward before calling back to the other side.
"How's it going?" The owner of the voice was Si Yanli.
"It's not good. I have gastroenteritis and a slight fever. I vomited several times and I just put him to sleep."
Yu Chuanxing worked hard for most of the night and woke up after drinking most of the wine. There was a bit of exhaustion in his voice.
"Stop talking, I have to go in quickly and keep watch. When the little ancestor wakes up and can't see anyone, he will cry again."
The other person was silent for a long time before he said, "Do you need me to come over?"
"No need." Yu Chuanxing thought about it in his mind, then spoke sincerely,
"Ayan, I suddenly realized today that I can't help her tossing her around like this, and neither do my parents."
"If she has to hit a wall before she can turn back, then I can only protect her. But as her brother, I don't want her to take the wrong path. I hope that every stage of her life will be smooth, so I I hope it's you who protects her. But I hope she chooses you."
Speaking of which, Yu Chuanxing felt that he was quite selfish. He clearly didn't want Yu Chuqi and Fei Yuan to be together, but he didn't want to let this become a thorn in the side between their siblings anymore, so he threw the problem to Si Yanli, and he said it so grandly.
"But Ayan, she is my biological sister. I really don't want to hand her over to someone like Fei Yuan."
When Yu Chuanxing said these words, it didn't feel like a compromise, but more like he was waiting for a promise, a promise from Si Yanli, a promise to take over this heavy responsibility, and a promise to start Yu Chuqi's future life.
Of course, communication between smart people is so efficient and convenient. How could Si Yanli not understand his subtext, "Don't worry, I won't trust anyone who raised the person I raised with my own hands."
