After the suspended animation, I was hidden by the madly criticized executive

Ji Nian fled back to the staff rest room in a panic.

The colleague who came back to pick up his things saw him panicked, and said in a daze, "Jinian, what's wrong with you, you look so ugly?"

It took a while for Ji Nian to come back to his senses, and found that his colleague was staring at him strangely. He lowered his eyelids and shook his head, "No, it's okay."

The colleague didn't know why, so he muttered a few words and continued to do his own work.

Ji Nian was the only one left in the rest room. He leaned weakly against the door, still in fear of what happened just now.

He turned around and lifted the work clothes on his back. Through the mirror, he vaguely saw the butterfly birthmark on his back.

Once when Ji Nian was changing his clothes at home, he was seen by his adoptive mother, and he realized that he had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on his back.

His adoptive mother joked that he might be able to find his loved ones through the birthmark.

Ji Nian doesn't have much hope for this, because since he woke up from falling into the sea, he has never seen any missing person notices about him on TV or on the Internet.

Ji Nian didn't understand why Lu Tingyu had such a big reaction when he saw the birthmark on his back.

It's like... as if I found something that I've been missing for a long time.

Ji Nian couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to explore Lu Tingyu's strange behavior. He only hoped that he could stay as far away from this strange guest as possible in the future.

Ji Nian calmed down and was about to pour some water when the door of the lounge opened from the outside.

Manager Zhu appeared outside the door and said with a smile, "Xiao Ji, are you back after delivering the wine?"

Ji Nian bit the bullet and called out: "Manager Zhu."

The manager looked at Ji Nian's meaningful smile, "How about it, did you earn a lot tonight?"

Ji Nian clenched his fist slightly, his expression changed slightly.

He knew that Manager Zhu must know about what happened tonight, otherwise such a good thing would not have happened to him.

But even if he knew that Manager Zhu had tricked him, Ji Nian had nothing to do with him. Whether he went or not, he would offend others.

Ji Nian shook his head, "No."

The manager joked: "Xiao Ji, we all work here, so why do we need to hide it from me?"

Ji Nian still said the same thing, "Manager Zhu, really not."

Manager Zhu scoffed at Ji Nian's deliberate concealment, but he didn't care whether Ji Nian made money or not. What he cared about was the cooperation between the clubhouse and the big boss Lu Tingyu, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "You and Mr. Lu Didn't something happen?"

The scene of being overwhelmed by Lu Tingyu on the sofa came to Ji Nian's mind, his face changed slightly, he lowered his head in time to not reveal his secrets, and whispered: "I'll leave after I bring the wine in."

"Really?" The manager observed Ji Nian's expression suspiciously, "Then why did Boss Lu look so bad when he came out?"

Ji Nian couldn't tell the manager what happened in the room, and the manager wouldn't stand by him, saying vaguely: "I don't know either."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, the manager's dissatisfaction with Ji Nian escalated a notch. I don't know whether it was an exhortation or a warning: "Xiao Ji, Mr. Lu is an important guest of our clubhouse. Boss Feng is planning to discuss business with Mr. Lu recently. You can't offend Mr. Lu, do you understand?"

Ji Nian reluctantly nodded to Manager Zhu's warning eyes.

The manager looked better now, he patted Ji Nian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You take good care of Mr. Lu, are you still worried about running out of money in the future?"

The manager has worked in the clubhouse for so long, and what he knows best is the guests who come here to consume.

Moreover, the manager had heard before that Lu Tingyu liked men, plus Lu Tingyu's special attention to Ji Nian during this period, the manager was sure that Lu Tingyu was interested in Ji Nian, otherwise, could he ask such a thorough question about a handyman?

Although he didn't know anything about Ji Nian that would make a big man like Lu Tingyu look good, but Lu Tingyu's frequent visits to Shengxu were only good for their club and not bad for them.

"Okay, that's all I'm going to say. If there's something really unpleasant, go and make amends to Boss Lu. He won't bother with you even if he's a big shot."

Ji Nian answered absent-mindedly, and he heaved a long sigh of relief until the manager left.

Ji Nian would rather not earn this money than contact this person again.

After finally getting off work, Ji Nian returned to the hospital, and happened to run into Sister Miao, the nurse he hired for An An, at the door.

Ms. Miao said in a low voice, "Mr. Ji, the nurse came over just now and said that the medical expenses saved before are gone, and it's time to pay."

Ji Nian's eyes darkened slightly, "Okay, I see."

When he entered the ward, An An was leaning on the head of the bed, concentrating on reading a storybook.

"Dad." An An saw him with a small smile on her face, "You're back!"

Ji Nian sat on the side of the bed, and said with concern: "Is An An uncomfortable today?"

An An shook her head, "No."

Ji Nian hung his heart for a whole day and returned to the original place, showing a relaxed smile, "That's good."

As soon as Ji Nian came back, An An pestered him to read story books. Ji Nian had always asked for anything for this frail and sickly daughter. He held An An in his arms and read to her with a gentle voice.

"Once upon a time there was a woman who had no children, so she begged a witch to let her have a child."

An An snuggled into Ji Nian's arms and listened carefully.

"So the witch gave her a seed and said to her, "Put it in a pot, and soon there will be children. "

An An innocently asked: "Dad, am I also a seed in a flowerpot?"

Ji Nian looked down at An An, "Why do you say that?"

An An blinked, "Because An An doesn't have a mother, An An is also a seed."

A sharp soreness rose in Ji Nian's heart, he hugged An An tightly, and comforted him: "An An is not a seed, but a baby of my father,"

As An An grew up, she saw other people's family of three, and occasionally asked about her mother. Ji Nian could only tell her that her mother had gone far away and would never come back.

In fact, it's not that Ji Nian never thought about telling An An the truth, but An An was too young and was still taking medicine for illness. He didn't want to add any shock and pain to this child whose life was full of sadness.

So he planned to wait for An An to grow up before telling the truth to An An.

An An sniffed, "Dad, is it true that Mom won't come back?"

Although Ji Nian couldn't bear it, he still had to tell the truth, "Yes."

There were crystal tears in An An's clear eyes, "I miss my mother so much, I haven't seen my mother yet."

Ji Nian's throat choked slightly, and he touched An An's head, "An An, be good, Dad will take care of you in the future."

An An twitched her thin shoulders sadly, hugged Ji Nian's waist with her small hands, and buried her head in his arms.

Ji Nian turned his head and wiped his eyes, forced a smile, "Okay, let's continue with the story."

Ji Nian cleared his throat, and continued the fairy tale just now. An An looked listless, leaning his chin on An An's shoulder wearily, and the expression on his small face was a sadness that did not belong to her age.

Ji Nian finished telling the five-page story, and when he looked up again, An An was already asleep, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Ji Nian sighed, he closed the storybook, carried An An back to the hospital bed and lay down, tucked her in the quilt, and wiped away the tears on An An's face distressedly.

The lights in the ward were turned off, and it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Ji Nian sat by the bed, he turned on his phone, and the blue light from the screen reflected on his fair face, making him a little pale and haggard.

He opened the WeChat balance, and there were only more than 1000 yuan left in it.
