bucket list

"Grandma, as I said, I'm really busy. Apart from work, I put aside my sleep and rest. I really come to see you when I have free time."

"Who told you not to sleep or rest! Did I tell you to stare at me, an old woman, without eating? Look at what you said about me, am I making trouble for no reason!"

Zong Chi said helplessly, "No..."

The single ward is spacious and bright, the windows are bright and clean, the weather outside is clear and clear, the sliding door of the balcony is half open, and a corner of the white gauze curtain is gently lifted by the breeze.In the center of the room is a nursing bed with milky white and blue baffles. Beside the bed is a single armrest sofa. The nameplate at the end of the bed reads "Xie Yinghuai". Opposite is the TV and tea table.

The woman sitting on the hospital bed was wearing a hospital gown with a beige knitted sweater over it.From the facial features and the lines on the fingers of her neck, it can be seen that she is already old, but the slightly curly silver hair is not only full of volume, but also very shiny, but it seems to be dyed like this on purpose.

"I didn't come last weekend." Xie Yinghuai said.

"I've been working overtime on weekends, and I'm out of town on Saturday. On Sunday morning, there was a temporary contract problem. In order not to delay the normal progress of the project on Monday, the remedial work was not over until 09:30. You said that it was past nine o'clock at that time. , It takes about [-] minutes to go from the company to the hospital, even if there is no traffic jam, I didn't come because I was afraid of disturbing grandma's rest." Zong Chi explained patiently.

"Oh, I have to work on weekdays, and I also have to work on rest days. It's also my fault that I didn't pick a good day when President Zong had a rest before getting sick."

"Grandma, why do you say that! I know I didn't mean that..." Zong Chi took a deep breath, and said in a gentle tone, "Didn't you come here as soon as you have free time today? I..."

There was no more untimely call than this. Zong Chi's words were interrupted by the ringtone. He subconsciously looked down and frowned.He raised his head to explain, but saw grandma rolled her eyes and turned her face to the window, walking away speechlessly.

"I'll answer the phone soon." Zong Chi stood up.

"It doesn't matter," Xie Yinghuai said, "Anyway, after I die, the property rights, shares, and so on in my hands will all be adopted by Che Che. You have no time to talk to me, and I have nothing left for you."

Zong Chi paused when he left the ward, and turned around: "Who?"

"Don't worry about it, Che Che is my new grandson, I have seen her ten times more than I have seen you!"

Zong Chi froze for a moment, as if he was judging how much the other party's words were true or false, but seeing Xie Yinghuai's serious face, it didn't look like he was joking.

"Grandma, don't be joking," Zong Chi said, "Whether the property is left to me or not is secondary. Someone with unknown background... You won't be given by someone who sells health products..." He wanted to say "I was cheated", I felt that the words were a bit harsh, so I changed my words: "You're fooling me."

Grandma's expression told him that this word is not very euphemistic.

"I'm happy to be fooled by others, it's better than you don't even have time to fool me!"

Zong Chi wanted to say something, but the phone in his hand kept ringing, and it might indeed be an important call.He picked up the phone, covered the microphone and walked out of the ward. He said to the bodyguard at the door, "I put some naughty woman in. I'll come back after answering the phone and settle the score with you."

Zong Chi answered the phone, facing his assistant, who wanted him to go back to the company.Zong Chi lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter first?"

Listening to the new situation being reported on the other end of the phone, Zong Chi responded but was annoyed.Originally, the company was engaged in mergers and acquisitions recently, and there were a lot of things to do—although the contract was signed, there were still many administrative and financial matters waiting in line, and nearly one-third of the new company's staff had to be laid off.Unexpectedly, it happened that there was an extra demolition house in my hometown, and all the messy relatives at home suddenly appeared. A group of people who were usually invisible, several of whom didn't even show up when his father passed away, gathered quickly at this moment, and they were already wondering how to divide the money. Things got up.Zong Chi looked at the blue sky, feeling very depressed—everyone around him seemed to want to plot something from him, no matter if it was a partner, a competitor, relatives, or men and women who wanted to take shortcuts. Alright, now there is an extra scammer, vixen, out of nowhere.

Assistant Liu on the phone paused, and asked tentatively, "General Manager, where are you? Let Xiao Wang pick you up?"

"No, I drove the car myself," Zong Chi said subconsciously, and suddenly he had a change of heart: "I haven't learned my lesson from what happened last weekend? I don't have time to help you clean up the mess this afternoon. If you can't do this well, hurry up." Pack your things and leave."

Zong Chi hung up the phone and walked back from the end of the corridor. The bodyguard who was full of anxiety because of what he said just now came up to him and said, "Mr. Zong, we really never let any unidentified woman enter Mrs. Zong's room. You Seeing that we are guarding here every night, at least one person is there, and no one else has waited to enter..."

"Be quiet," Zong Chi raised his hand to interrupt him, and took the two of them a few steps aside, "Don't let my grandma hear you."

The two moved sideways along with him - they were about the same height as Zong Chi, a lot bigger in terms of size, but a lot shorter in terms of momentum.Zong Chi said with a straight face: "No? Grandma said that she spent several times more time seeing that person than me. I come here at least twice a week. Doesn't that person spend every day in this ward? Are you blind? I didn't see it."

The two bodyguards looked at each other.

"Who has been here recently?"

"Recently... that is, Ms. Zhou and Mr. Yan came over, and last week... no, it should be last month. Your mother came here once, and nothing else."

The other bodyguard also nodded repeatedly: "Except for you who came most frequently, there is no one else."

Zhou Xunfang and Yan Jin were his aunts and uncles, not to mention his own mother, Zong Chi frowned, there was no one called Che Che, how did such a person come out.

Seeing that his complexion was bad, the bodyguard was also anxious: "Mr. Zong, it's true, how can we let such a malicious person in casually? There were so many reporters in disguise who came here before, and they were also caught by us." All stopped."

"Don't just look at those who are flamboyant. What you should be wary of is those who look particularly innocent and like good girls. They are dangerous." Zong Chi said: "What are volunteers who look after widows and widows, college students, doing charity work?" Little Star of…”

The bodyguards were still puzzled, and they couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. Zong Chi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and walked back to the door of the ward while meditating. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close, he heard grandma's voice: "Cheche, this is my grandson." I brought some fresh lychees, you can eat some."

What! ?Zong Chi was shocked - in such a blink of an eye, this woman slipped in?

The door was open, he rushed into the ward in two steps, looked around but didn't see any women - no matter if they were gorgeous or pure and honest.Xie Yinghuai stretched out her wrist and looked at him in surprise—her drip bottle was empty, and a male nurse was removing the needle tube for her.

Zong Chi looked around, then opened the curtains and went to the balcony to have a look, but there was still no one there.

Although the single ward is luxurious, its area is still limited, Zong Chi knocked on the bathroom door unwillingly.

Xie Yinghuai couldn't help but said, "Xiao Chi, what are you doing?"

Zong Chi: "Where is the person? Where is the person?"

Xie Yinghuai wondered, "Who?"

She cooperated with the nurse to put a hemostatic tape on the back of her hand, and took back her cold wrist and rubbed it.The nurse put away the drip shelf, took out the notebook on her chest and took a quick note, and pushed the small stainless steel trolley to go out.

Zong Chi stepped aside slightly to let him go, and stared at Xie Yinghuai with a serious face: "I heard you talking to her, that vixen named Che Che, where is she?"

The male nurse who had already reached the door with the trolley turned around with a look of astonishment: "Ah? I'm here."
