hypocritically

Xu Keqin used the excuse that too many things had happened recently, and prevaricated his father with the excuse of relaxation, so he accompanied Gu Yixin to travel abroad, but he did not stay abroad for too long, and received news that his father was ill again.

This time the news did not come from home, it was Zhou You who sent a message to Xu Keqin, "You are in a hurry, the boss is in a stable condition, resting at home, it is the old problem from before."

Xu Keqin understands that people are not like machines. Old machines can be replaced with brand new parts, but people are different.

My own person is abroad, and I can't fully grasp the affairs of my family and company, and I always feel uneasy, "Thank you Uncle Zhou, I understand."

After making the phone call, Gu Yixin, who had packed up, came to knock on Xu Keqin's door. When the door opened, seeing Xu Keqin's serious expression, she asked with concern: "Why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Otherwise, we won't be going out today." , rest at the hotel."

Xu Keqin forced a smile, "My father is sick again, I don't know what's going on now, forget it, I promised to accompany you."

He tried his best to make his words ambiguous, and asked Gu Yixin to guess in the direction of the seriousness of his illness.

Sure enough, Gu Yixin was considerate, sensible and courteous, "Then let's go back now and travel, we can find other time."

Because of some conflicts in the business field, the relationship between the two is rather awkward. Gu Yixin also understands that it is not easy for her to appear in front of the Xu family for the time being, and has never asked Xu Keqin to disclose their relationship in front of the family.

After the two returned to China, Gu Yixin didn't let Xu Keqin see her off, "Go back and have a look first, uncle's illness is important."

Xu Keqin went straight back to Xu's house, and as soon as he entered the house, he happened to bump into Lin Peizhen to send the family doctor down.

"Mr. Xu's physical indicators are fairly stable, and his blood pressure is a bit high. You must pay attention to rest at home."

After sending the family doctor away, the dignity on Lin Peizhen's face suddenly collapsed. She glanced at Xu Keqin out of the corner of her eye, apparently not expecting Xu Keqin to come back so soon.

"Auntie, is Dad okay? Can I go up and see him now?"

He was abroad, and he ordered his family not to release news to Xu Keqin. Xu Keqin still had such a great ability to know when he was home.

Lin Peizhen casually found a reason, "Your dad just fell asleep after taking the medicine, so don't bother him."

After a few days, Xu Keqin hadn't been able to talk to his father. Lin Peizhen always used various reasons to prevent him from being alone with his father. Besides, there was no sign of Xu Xinglan at home.

About a week later, my father's condition did not deteriorate, but he still didn't improve. Not to mention working, even coming out to meet people was very strenuous, he was groggy, he didn't eat much, and he was getting thinner day by day.

That night, Xu Keqin talked to Gu Yongfeng on the phone in his room, saying that Xu Xinglan had asked his uncle for help and planned to get involved in the coastal plan.

"During the days you have been abroad, your good brother has not been idle. He is a bit stupid, but he has a good uncle and grandpa. As long as he has some achievements in this project, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain a foothold in the Xu family." Gu Yongfeng noticed something strange about Xu's family. He hadn't heard from Xu Zhenli for a long time, "What's the matter with your dad? Did you let him out again?"

"My dad is sick."

As expected by Gu Yongfeng, Xu Zhenli's repeated serious illnesses have greatly affected Xu's stock price, so the news of this illness is suppressed.

"But the doctor said my dad is fine..."

Gu Yongfeng paused, "Then your father's illness is a bit strange, I don't care about his life or death, I don't want Xu Xinglan's idiot to stand in my way, you'd better find out as soon as possible."

During this time, Lin Peizhen took care of her father's diet and daily life, and all the medicines prescribed by the doctor were in her hands.

Xu Keqin found a way to get the medicine his father was taking, and took it for a drug test. It was indeed a sleeping medicine. Judging from his father's current state, the dosage is estimated to be quite large.

How can I let my father know about this?The family scandal was too great, and my father couldn't hold back his face. Maybe he would be beaten up by Lin Peizhen and his son.

In the evening of that day, Xu Keqin knocked on the door of his father's room while Lin Peizhen was delivering the medicine.

"Dad, it's me."

It was Lin Peizhen who opened the door. She looked bored and planned to send Xu Keqin away, "Your father needs to rest."

Xu Keqin held a small bag in his hand, "Auntie, there is lavender in here, isn't daddy sleeping well? Putting this under the pillow will help you sleep."

Lin Peizhen didn't have time to entangle with Xu Keqin, so she snatched the things from Xu Keqin's hand, "Okay, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhenli's voice came from the room, "What's the matter? Let him in..."

Lin Peizhen had no choice but to give Xu Keqin a vicious look, and reluctantly gave way.

The curtains of the room were half drawn, and the medicine on the bedside table hadn't been taken yet. Lin Peizhen saw it and urged, "Take the medicine first, and the water will be cold later."

Xu Zhenli didn't have much strength to speak, but his prestige was still there, he waved his hand, "I'll eat later, you go about your business, I'll talk to Keqin later."

Not watching Xu Zhenli take the medicine, Lin Peizhen was worried, let alone that the medicine was so blatantly placed in front of Xu Keqin, she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Seeing her not moving, Xu Zhenli said, "Go."

Xu Keqin also spoke, "Auntie, I will remind Dad to take medicine."

Lin Peizhen had no reason to stay put, she secretly looked at Xu Keqin's expression, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, she walked out of the room.

The moment the door was closed, Xu Zhenli could still be heard sighing, "I've been drinking it every day, and I don't look good at all. Now I feel a little nauseous looking at this medicine."

Xu Keqin stepped forward to help Xu Zhenli up, and comforted him: "Father, you will get better after drinking the medicine."

"It's not good either." Xu Zhenli glanced at the small bag Xu Keqin brought, "What's in it?"

"Lavender, put it in the pillow to help you sleep."

Xu Zhenli lay on the bed with his limbs sore and limp. He wanted to touch the small bag, but when he stretched out his hand, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, "I have a heart."

It was just an ordinary conversation between the father and son. Xu Zhenli asked about Xu Keqin's situation in the company, and Xu Keqin answered as usual.

"Father, take the medicine first, and you can rest after taking it." Xu Keqin put his fingers close to the glass, tested the water temperature, and it was just right.

He handed the glass to Xu Zhenli, picked up the medicine box and put it in Xu Keqin's hand, and said in a natural tone: "Father, you are old, even if you can't sleep, try to use sleeping pills as little as possible, this dose is too high gone."

Xu Zhenli dragged the medicine box, glanced at the small pills inside, and stopped drinking the medicine.

My own prescription was shown to the doctor, so how could there be sleeping pills?Besides, how could Xu Keqin recognize sleeping pills at a glance?

"Why do you say it's sleeping pills?"

Xu Keqin blinked, pointed to the two pills in the middle, and said, "When I got home, I couldn't sleep, so the doctor prescribed it to me."

The period of "just came home" refers specifically to the period in prison. At that time, Xu Keqin did see many doctors because of insomnia.

The doubts in Xu Zhenli's mind dispelled a lot, and what followed was speculation about the origin of the sleeping pills. He couldn't cheer up during this period of time, and he didn't get better after being raised at home for so long. Xu Zhenli thought about it because I am getting old, but now that I think about it, is there someone who wants to take advantage of his illness to do something else.

"What's your elder brother doing recently?" Xu Zhenli hardly ever went out of the room, and with Lin Peizhen's help as a cover, he had no idea that Xu Xinglan was not at home.

Xu Keqin shook his head, "I don't know, brother isn't at home recently."

"Over there at the head office..." Xu Zhenli suddenly remembered that Xu Keqin was still in the branch office. He stared at the medicine box for a while, then put away the medicine inside, "You ask Zhou You to come see me sometime, The sooner the better."

Xu Keqin nodded, and said softly, "Dad, do you suspect that there is something wrong with this medicine? Sleeping pills will not cause problems when taken according to the doctor's instructions, and Auntie will not..."

"I'm afraid that your aunt has colluded with the doctor long ago."

Once a person like Xu Zhenli becomes suspicious, especially when lying on a hospital bed, he will definitely seek evidence.

Xu Keqin pursed his lips and stopped arguing. Xu Zhenli held his wrist, "You can't tell anyone about this."

Early the next morning, Zhou You rushed back from Province A and came to Xu's house on the grounds of reporting work.

Xu Zhenli handed him the wrapped pills, and told him to have a good look at it from a trusted doctor.

Zhou You wrote them down one by one, and before leaving, he asked one more question, "Boss, are you going to let the young master discuss the coastal project in M ​​province?"

Because of the previous incident, Xu Zhenli ordered Xu Xinglan to shut himself up at home and think about his mistakes. When did he let him go to the company to get involved?

Judging by Xu Zhenli's reaction, it is obvious that he knew very little about his family and company affairs on the hospital bed.

Zhou You pushed his glasses, "Maybe the young master also wants to behave well in front of you, so this time he specially asked Mr. Lin for help. The young master has this heart and wants to share the burden for you."

Xu Zhenli was almost furious, such a pile of things, is it Xu Xinglan who is sensible and grows up and knows to share it for him, or is he jealous of Xu Keqin, afraid that the Xu family's property will not reach his hands?

"He has a heart." Xu Zhenli snorted coldly, "I think he can't wait for his father to die, and now wants to be the master of the Xu family."

"Boss..." Zhou You was like a mirror in his mind about the Xu family. He couldn't talk much about the housework, but he was a little worried about Xu Zhenli's health.

Xu Zhenli interrupted him by raising his hand, "Check this medicine first, and report to me immediately if you have the result."

He still wanted to give Xu Xinglan one last chance, and he didn't want to believe that the eldest son he doted on in every possible way could be so vicious, collude with his pillow, and lay hands on him.
