Chapter 4 The Year
After leaving the hotel, He Chenxi took the bus to the hospital.
On the way, He Chenxi received a call from a nurse in the hospital, saying that her father kept asking to be discharged from the hospital and went home, asking her to go there as soon as possible.
When He Chenxi arrived at the hospital, there were already many people in He Yuancheng's ward. Several nurses and Lin Yueru were comforting He Yuancheng, but He Yuancheng didn't listen to anything, regardless of his legs that were hanging on the bandage, he just clamored to go home.
"Dad!" He Chenxi hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and ran to the bedside of He Yuancheng, "Dad, what are you doing!"
When He Yuancheng saw that He Chenxi was coming, he hurriedly grabbed He Chenxi's hand, turned his old face red, and cried: "Chenxi, Chenxi, you are finally here. Hurry up, go and talk to the hospital, let's go home, go home, I won't be hospitalized! I won't be hospitalized!"
"Dad!" He Chenxi was a little annoyed and a little distressed. She looked at He Yuancheng's face that had been many deep in the past two years and said, "What are you talking about? It hurts for a hundred days. How could anyone just put a cast in the hospital and stayed in the hospital for two days without being hospitalized!"
Lin Yueru secretly wiped her tears from the side and followed He Chenxi to persuade He Yuancheng: "Yes, Brother Cheng, just listen to Chenxi's words. We are the only man in our family. If you don't recover from your injuries, what should Chenxi and I do if something happens!"
Seeing that He Yuancheng's mood had stabilized a lot, several nurses looked at each other and left one after another.
The last nurse who left thoughtfully closed the door of the ward for them. When the spectators gathered outside the door saw that there was no show to watch, they slowly dispersed.
In the room, He Chenxi and Lin Yueru were actually very clear about why He Yuancheng didn’t want to be hospitalized. To put it bluntly, it was all because of money.
Why did He Yuancheng's legs break? It was because of money.
Two years ago, the He family went bankrupt. I am afraid that even He Yuancheng himself could not calculate how much money the He family owed.
That debt is like a bottomless pit. No matter how hard He Yuancheng, He Chenxi and Lin Yueru get up early and work late in the past two years, it is just a drop in the bucket to pay off the debt.
Just a few days ago, the creditor hired a debt collector to collect money. Because he couldn't afford the money, the group of people actually broke He Yuancheng's legs alive!
He even said that if he couldn't afford the money, it would be as simple as breaking his legs next time!
If He Chenxi hadn't been desperate, how could he think of selling...
Perhaps the blow of his legs was too big. He Yuancheng, who had been encouraging He Chenxi and Lin Yueru to cheer up in the past two years, has now become very decadent. He pounded the hospital bed under him hard. He was determined all his life, but his face was full of tears: "It's all for me. I was useless. Not only did I use all my wealth be deceived, but I owe such a huge debt to drag you down. It's all for me!"
"Brother Cheng!"
"dad!"
He Chenxi and Lin Yueru hurriedly pulled He Yuancheng and tried to appease him.
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense? If it weren't for you, our family would have collapsed long ago. You don't have to worry about money. I have a way, I have a way!"
He Yuancheng didn't believe it at all, just pretending that He Chenxi was comforting him. He shook his head: "What can you do? How can you fill it with such a large amount of money? I've already thought about it. At worst, I'll go to pay for those people. I'm leaving. Aunt Lin and you and I leave the imperial capital and find a strange place to live again..."
"Dad! What are you talking about?" He Chenxi finally couldn't help crying when he looked at He Yuancheng like this. She knew that He Yuancheng's words were serious, but because of this, He Chenxi's heart became more and more panicked. "Do you think they will let Aunt Lin and me go if you leave? For such a large sum of money, I am afraid that Aunt Lin and I will not give up even if they run to the ends of the world..."
Speaking of this, He Chenxi suddenly stopped talking.
Isn’t this the method she thought of early in the morning to leave the imperial capital?
But she only realized that this method was so stupid!
Although there were tears on He Chenxi's face, he couldn't help but smile.
Lin Yueru was startled by He Chenxi's laughter, and was shocked. She stared at He Chenxi with beautiful eyes and opened her mouth tentatively: "Chenxi?"
He Chenxi looked up at Lin Yueru, wiped the tears on his face, smiled at Lin Yueru, and said, "Aunt Lin, I'm fine."
After saying that, she turned to look at He Yuancheng again: "Dad, don't worry, there will be roads before the car arrives at the mountain. Do you still remember the boyfriend I was in love in college?"
He Yuancheng looked at He Chenxi and didn't understand why she suddenly said: "Remember, I still remember that you mentioned the boy all the time. Although my father had never seen him, I could feel that he was really good to you. Unfortunately, you separated later..."
"He is back to find me!" He Chenxi looked at He Yuancheng, gritted his teeth, and said with a smile.
"Come back to find you?" He Yuancheng didn't react.
He Chenxi nodded: "Do you know Gu Shengze, the new president of the Gu family, the Gu family?"
"Of course." Although He Yuancheng has been forgotten in the business world of the imperial capital in the past two years, some of the business rookies in the imperial capital know more or less. "In the past two years, there are a few people in the imperial capital who can't know the name of Gu Shengze, a business genius."
"He is my ex-boyfriend!" He Chenxi reached out to hold He Yuancheng's hand, was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Besides, Dad, I saw him yesterday. He wanted to get back with me, I, I promised! Dad, our life will get better."
He Yuancheng looked at his precious daughter, and his face was a bit serious: "Chenxi, don't go against your heart because of family debt."
He Chenxi shook his head: "No, Dad, you know that I have never liked to betray myself, I still...I still love him, or I always love him!"
What He Chenxi said is true.
It dates back two years ago.
Because He Yuancheng used improperly that year, the company's financial funds were transferred to his personal name by means by others. The company suffered a large deficit and the He family was on the verge of bankruptcy.
When he learned that his family might be owed a huge debt, He Chenxi's first reaction was that he could not drag others down, especially the person she loved, and the person she loved the most back then was Gu Shengze.
Gu Shengze, back then, hid his identity for some reasons. Even He Chenxi did not know that Gu Shengze was the only seed of the Gu family in the imperial capital. At that time, He Chenxi only thought that Gu Shengze was just an ordinary boy, with talent and outstanding appearance, and he was shining everywhere he went, which could attract girls' screams.
