Chapter 24: Where is Dad?

Near evening.

Under Xiao Yun's protection, Xia Ye deposited the few tens of thousands of yuan he had left into the bank and applied for a bank card.

Then I went to a mobile phone store and bought two of the latest Motorola V998s priced at 3,888.

This is a flip phone, which can be said to be a trend at the time.

For Xia Ye, who was accustomed to using smartphones in her previous life, this old-fashioned flip phone was not so easy to use.

But for the convenience of future travel, he decided to spend more than 7,000 to buy two.

After buying the phone, Xia Ye and Xiao Yun sat down in a nearby restaurant, ordered two home-cooked dishes and had a drink.

Xiao Yun looked at Xia Ye with some envy and said, "You really made a lot of money, didn't you? You bought a cell phone worth over three thousand without blinking an eye?"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "It's just for convenience. It's too troublesome to call your house all the time."

Xiao Yun curled her lips and said, "One of these things is worth several months' salary for me, and you bought two!"

"I plan to give the other one to my wife, so it will be more convenient to contact her in the future. Otherwise, if Qiqi gets sick, I might be the last to know."

Xiao Yun frowned and asked, "Qiqi is sick? What happened?"

"It seems he was hospitalized for food poisoning."

"Then why don't you go to the hospital to see your daughter? How on earth did you become a father?"

Xia Ye smiled sadly and said, "I went to the hospital in the afternoon, but my sister-in-law was there and kicked me out of the hospital."

Xiao Yun drank a cup of Erguotou in one gulp and sighed, “You can't blame me for this. What did you do in the past? Not to mention your sister-in-law, even an outsider like me, who is neither a relative nor a friend, can't stand it. ”

Xia Ye sighed and said, "If it weren't for my sister-in-law, my wife and I probably wouldn't have been able to get the marriage certificate. She believed in me so much and handed my sister into my hands, but I betrayed her trust and did So many bastard things.”

"It seems that your relationship with your father-in-law and mother-in-law is not good either?"

Xia Ye shook her head helplessly.

"Every family has its own problems. At least you have started to change now, haven't you? As the saying goes, a prodigal son never returns with gold. As long as you change your gambling, you will definitely be a good husband and father."

Xia Ye raised her wine glass and touched it with Xiao Yun, smiling bitterly.

"Now I really understand what it means to beat your wife for a while and chase her to the crematorium!"

Xiao Yun laughed loudly and said, “You guys have to work harder. Women tend to be soft-hearted. As long as you persist, even your heart can melt like an iceberg. In a moment, you should go to the hospital and give her the phone. Give her a good apology and let go of the past, it’s just around the corner!”

After three rounds of drinking, Xia Ye already felt a little tipsy.

On the other hand, Xiao Yun, who was not a drinker, was as red as a monkey's butt and kept talking nonsense.

Maybe Xiao Yun was depressed because of her suspension from the bureau, so she got drunk.

Xia Ye helped Xiao Yun home, then went downstairs and took a taxi to Longcheng Hospital.

Xiao Yun is right.

As long as he persists, even Jiang Mu's heart can melt like an iceberg.

…

Longcheng Hospital.

The contract for Xingdong Century was negotiated in the afternoon, and Jiang Mu returned to the special needs ward of the hospital in a happy mood.

Jiang Xiu, who was taking care of Qiqiyi in the ward in the afternoon, fell asleep on the bedside.

Jiang Mu gently patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder and whispered, “ Xiuxiu , I'm off work, why don't you go back first."

Jiang Xiu woke up in a daze, stretched and said, "Sister, Qiqi seems to be much better. Then you can take care of her, I'll go back first."

Jiang Mu suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiu and stuffed the handful of change that Jiang Xiu had given her in the afternoon from her bag into her hand.

"Sister, I can't take this money. You can take it back."

"Sister, why are you being polite to me? If you are really in trouble, just keep it for now."

"I know you kept this money to pay for mother's accommodation and food expenses. If you gave it to me, what would you do then?"

"What are you afraid of? At worst, I'll just play rogue with Zhao Haiqin! She can't do anything to me!"

Jiang Mu said with shame on her face, “ Xiuxiu , I haven't been able to help you since I got married. If you still have to help me, then I am too incompetent. I kept my job today." , Qiqi and I will have a settled life from now on, don’t worry about Qiqi and me, just take care of yourself first.”

Jiang Xiu held the handful of change tightly and said bluntly, “Sister, why do you still see me outside like this? If you hadn't taken care of me when I was a child, how could I have grown so big?"

"One code equals one code. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me . Even if I can't take care of myself, I will take care of you first."

"Sisters, let's stop being so sensational. You should take good care of Qiqi. I have to go back quickly."

After Jiang Xiu left, Qiqi finally woke up in the hospital bed.

She weakly shouted, “Mom..."

Jiang Mu was extremely surprised and said, “Qiqi, are you awake? How do you feel?"

Qiqi licked her dry lips and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, I miss my dad. Where is my dad?"

The expression on Jiang Mu's face froze.

She didn't know how to explain to Qiqi her half-dead relationship with Xia Ye.

The child will not understand what it means when mom and dad's relationship breaks down. In her eyes, a family of three will always be a family that loves each other.

"Qiqi, you are sick and admitted to the hospital now. Dad is at home, not in the hospital."

The little girl pouted stubbornly and said, "I miss daddy, I want daddy."

What Jiang Mu was most worried about happened.

If she really divorced Xia Ye in the future, it would really make her collapse when Qiqi pestered her to ask for her father.

After all, Xia Ye is Qiqi's father, this is a fact that can never be changed.

Family ties that are thicker than water cannot be given up easily!

Just when Jiang Mu was at a loss, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.

She opened the door.

Xia Ye, who was standing at the door, said in a low voice, “Jiang Mu, I want to see the child, is that okay?"

Jiang Mu took a deep breath, let Xia Ye enter the ward, and then gently closed the door.

When Xia Ye entered the ward, Qiqi was lying on the hospital bed and grinned happily, “Dad, dad! Qiqi wants a hug!"

Xia Ye quickly came to the hospital bed and held her daughter tightly in her arms.

"Qiqi, do you miss your father?"

"Think about it. Qiqi just had a dream, dreaming that her father didn't want Qiqi anymore."

"Fool, Qiqi is so cute, why wouldn't dad want Qiqi?"

Seeing that the relationship between father and daughter suddenly became so good, Jiang Mu suddenly felt jealous.

She asked angrily, “Where did you get the money to pay such an expensive hospitalization fee for Qiqi?
