Chapter 42: Returning to Hometown
After sending the doctor away, Luo Jichen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Chen Xi's face, his expression was complicated and indescribable.
"Brother Jichen." Chen Xi woke up slowly and shouted weakly.
She hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, just afraid that he would question her about the reason why Soho was here. In front of Soho, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fool him. But now that Soho is gone, she has nothing to worry about.
"Awake? How does it feel? Luo Jichen's tone was light, and he didn't seem to have any emotion.
"Much better."
Chen Xi struggled to sit up, but he held his shoulder.
"Just bandaged, don't move." A look of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Chen Xi mistakenly thought that he was caring about himself, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately lay back obediently.
It seems that this injury was not in vain. It's just that seeing that he doesn't seem to have any signs to blame Soho, she is still unwilling.
"Where's Sister Soho?" She asked casually, feigning inadvertentness.
Hearing Soho's name, Luo Jichen's eyes swelled up with a trace of waves for a moment, and he was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Let's go." There seemed to be some loss in his expression.
"Brother Jichen, it was really me who was careless just now, don't blame Sister Soho." Chen Xi noticed the change in his mood, gritted his teeth, and felt a little more hatred for Soho.
"Hmm." Luo Jichen answered, and then didn't say anything else.
He knew very well in his heart that the fruit knife was deliberately handed to Soho by Chen Xi, so that he who came just in time to see the scene where she was scratched.
It's just that in that case, no matter how ruthless she rubs the blade, it is impossible to cause such a serious wound.
Soho ......
He silently recited the name over and over again in his heart, and each time he said it, the pain in his heart increased.
Seeing that he was so indifferent to his words, Chen Xi clenched his fists fiercely, but accidentally pressed the wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
"It's rare for my sister to come to see me, I thought she wasn't angry with me, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this in the end." As she spoke, her eyes were already filled with tears of grievance, and she asked Luo Jichen, "Brother Jichen, do you say that sister, does she hate me very much?" ”
Her words were clearly implying that the injury on her hand was actually done by Soho on purpose. But he doesn't care at all, he just feels sad and sad because Soho doesn't like him.
Luo Jichen looked at her, his eyes flickering.
When did Chen Xi become like this, becoming unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, and becoming so good at figuring out and using people's hearts.
If he hadn't known the truth of the matter in advance, maybe he would have misunderstood Soho again. Just like seven years ago, Chen Xi ran away from home.
"You say, Soho came here to see you?" His voice was a little dark, but the expression on his face did not change.
How much Su He hated him, he knew better than anyone else, she was afraid to avoid everything related to herself, how could she come to Chen Xi for no reason.
"That's right." Chen Xi's eyes widened and he looked at him very suspiciously, "Is there any problem, Brother Jichen?" ”
Luo Jichen lowered his eyes and shook his head.
She's lying!
"And what did she talk to you about?" He asked.
From the time he received the call from the nanny to the time he arrived at the villa, there were still more than ten minutes in between.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask this.
She quickly pondered in her mind how to answer his question. It's certainly impossible to tell the truth, but you can't say anything inconsequential, which will only make him suspicious.
"Sister Soho asked me if I knew how she ended up in the sea four years ago, and then said some strange things that I didn't understand too much." As she spoke, she secretly observed Luo Jichen's expression.
Luo Jichen was stunned, "What did she say?" ”
"It seems that someone deliberately led her to the beach, and finally fell into the sea after being cornered by a man with a scar on his face." Chen Xi paused and asked, "Brother Jichen, is what Sister Soho said true?" ”
He didn't answer.
Because he couldn't tell which of what she said was true and which was false, or whether it was half-truth.
If what Chen Xi said was true, then Soho came to tell her this, which was completely unnecessary and not in line with her character.
But if she was lying, how did she know about the scar man?
Even he had only just investigated this matter, except for Lin Jiang and the fourth child, he had not told anyone. In addition to him, I am afraid that the only one who knows about this is Soho himself and the person behind it.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Brother Jichen, what's wrong?" Chen Xi interrupted his train of thought, "You're always distracted, aren't you too tired?" ”
Luo Jichen pondered for a long time and looked up at her, "After you are healed, I will send you home." ”
"What are you talking about, isn't this my home?" Chen Xi thought he was joking, and laughed puzzledly.
"Your loved ones aren't here." He frowned slightly.
Only then did Chen Xi understand what he meant, and his face was full of shock.
Ji Chen: Is this going to send himself back to his parents? She didn't want it, that nightmare place, she never wanted to go back!
"Brother Jichen, don't you want me?" She couldn't believe it, "As you said, you are my relative and will take care of me for the rest of my life." ”
Every time she brought out the promise he had made, he would grant whatever he wished unconditionally, but this time it was invalid.
Luo Jichen seemed to be very firm, and did not waver because of her words, her expression was a little indifferent, "I am also for your good, with your parents by your side, they can take better care of you." ”
"But, you know that my life won't be easy when I'm in that home." There was a hint of choked in Chen Xi's voice.
This time she was really in a hurry.
The father who only asks the family for money, and when he loses the gamble, he gets drunk and comes back to make a fuss, and the weak mother who only keeps crying and complaining.
At that time, she did not want to think about the past. She has been accustomed to the life of the eldest lady, how can she endure such days again.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will let people arrange it, and your life after you go back will be the same as here, and there will be no change." Luo Jichen knew her concerns.
Even if he sends her back, he will ensure her material life.
"Brother Jichen......" Chen Xi's tears fell down, and Chu Chu looked at him pitifully.
Luo Jichen looked at her appearance, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Okay, it's decided, this is also for your good!" Let's have a good rest here first, and when the injury is healed, I will let Lin Jiang send you back." ”
With that, he turned and left the room.
