Chapter 290 Nothing can happen to her!
Chapter 290 Nothing can happen to her!
Ning Xi's words were like a knife piercing his heart. Ning Zhiyuan closed his eyes in pain and let out a long breath.
"Xiao Xi, I really can't say. You just need to know that my original intention of doing all this is to protect you."
"Protect me? Threatening me with dead animals and setting off explosions in my lab, is that protecting me?"
Ning Xi really didn't know how to communicate with him, she just felt as tired as playing the piano to a cow.
"Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, there is nothing more we can say."
With that said, he was about to get up and leave.
"Xiao Xi!" Ning Zhiyuan stopped him and took out a small pink box with exquisite packaging from his bag. "At least take this before leaving. I know that yesterday was your birthday, and this is my birthday gift to you. ”
Ning Xi paused in her steps.
The few seconds she was silent seemed as long and unbearable as a century to Ning Zhiyuan.
Finally, she said, “I don’t dare to ask for it.”
"Xiao Xi..."
Ning Zhiyuan looked at her determined back as she left, sat dejectedly on the chair, and drank the bitter coffee in one gulp with great helplessness and confusion.
When we got back to the car, it was already drizzling.
Ning Xi looked at the dense rain curtain outside the car window, and her frowned brows couldn't relax.
She didn't know how to believe what Ning Zhiyuan said.
If he really did it, how sad would grandma and mother be if they knew about it?
The driver interrupted his tangled thoughts, saying, "Boss Ning, there is a car behind us that has been following us for a long time."
Ning Xi looked back and saw a sapphire blue Ferrari following some distance away.
She recognized the model of the car immediately.
It's Gu Huaijing's car.
She was so upset right now that she said directly, "Get rid of him first."
"Yes, Mr. Ning, please fasten your seat belt and sit tight."
The driver received the order and immediately stepped on the accelerator to speed up, and an unexpected turn created a distance between them.
Seeing the car getting farther and farther away, Gu Huaijing followed closely with a frown.
He was quick-eyed and quick-handed and caught the last green light, but the vehicle in front seemed to have noticed it and sped away at full speed again.
At this moment, a huge thunder sounded, as if it was going to blow the sky apart. Heavy rain poured down, and the accumulated water on the road splashed everywhere, making the road conditions dangerous.
For Ning Xi's safety, he stopped following her.
Already preparing to go home, Gu Huaijing glanced at the roadside out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure.
He rolled down the window to confirm, it was fucking true!
Mrs. Gu met his eyes from a distance, her eyes were full of panic, and she turned around and ran away regardless of the heavy rain!
The heavy rain affected traffic, and the road was filled with drivers' impatient honking and passers-by's complaints. Gu Huaijing was stuck in traffic for only two minutes before Old Madam Gu had already run to another lane.
By the time he passed through, Madam Gu had disappeared in the crowd and was no longer seen.
……
Ning Xi returned to the company, temporarily putting all those troubles behind her mind, and devoted herself to her work.
She has completely built up the brand's reputation, and her embroidery apprentices are also constantly improving in their studies. They must seize this opportunity and push out trailers and promotional videos about the clothing brand in a timely manner.
She had been negotiating with the design company all morning. Ning Xi adhered to the principle of doing her best and hired industry experts. She was neither humble nor overbearing when facing the most prestigious advertising designer in the industry, and she exchanged ideas calmly and confidently, which made her look at her differently.
"Then, the color and main tone will be as you say. Within a week, we will make a sample for you to see. If there are no problems, we will refine it."
Ning Xi smiled and said, "Then I will wait for your good news."
After the two shook hands and said goodbye, Ning Xi noticed that there was a heavy rain outside the window, there was already a layer of water on the road that seemed to be up to the ankles, and the trees were swayed left and right by the wind.
Thinking of the call from her grandmother in the morning, Ning Xi had no choice but to dial the internal line and ask the driver to drive.
But I didn't expect that the driver had asked for leave an hour ago, saying that his daughter was sick and he had to go to the hospital to take care of her.
After much thought, Ning Xi had no choice but to drive back by herself. Just as she fastened her seat belt, she received a call from Mrs. Wen.
"Hello? Xiaoxi, have you finished get off work?"
"I'm off work grandma, and I'm getting ready to go home."
Old Mrs. Wen said hurriedly: "I was just about to tell you. It rained heavily today and it was windy. I looked at the real-time weather forecast and said it was a yellow warning. You have to be careful on the road. It's okay to slow down. We Let’s have dinner together when you come back.”
The care of family members is always the most touching. Ning Xi said gently, "I will pay attention, grandma, don't worry."
Ning Xi deliberately did not take the previous winding shortcut, but chose a flatter and wider road. Although it was slower, it was safer.
She walked slowly along the way.
When we drove to Long Bridge, there were many fewer pedestrians than before because of the rain.
But the next second, a child in a raincoat suddenly jumped out from the side.
Ning Xi's eyes widened instantly and she quickly turned the steering wheel!
She didn't care about anything else and turned around frantically. The car's inertia and the slippery road caused it to rush to the side uncontrollably.
Originally, it was okay to hit the railing, but that part of the railing was missing!
In the flash of lightning, Ning Xi stepped on the brakes frantically, but to no avail.
The vehicle rushed straight out of the gap and fell into the river!
Ning Xi felt dizzy due to the huge pain. The deployed airbag made her unable to move. The car window was shattered and the turbulent river water slowly seeped in from the gap.
The water level rose little by little, and Ning Xi woke up immediately out of her survival instinct, but she could not struggle or make any sound.
On the path along the shore, Gu Huaijing was driving slowly forward.
After he returned in the morning, he sent people to keep an eye on the area. When he heard from his subordinates that Madam Gu had appeared in Changqiao, he drove there himself to check.
Gu Huaijing searched around for Mrs. Gu's figure with his eyes. Suddenly, he suddenly stopped.
There was a car lying in the surging river!
Taking a closer look, it was Ning Xi's car!
Gu Huaijing's heart was in his throat, and he quickly got out of the car and rushed over.
He threw off his coat to reduce his weight and jumped into the water.
Ning Xi, please don't be in any trouble.
The wind blew up layers of waves, and water kept splashing on Gu Huaijing's eyebrows. He endured the discomfort and swam hard to the car.
The water gradually spread from her waist to her neck. Ning Xi looked pale and had difficulty breathing.
Heartache, unwillingness, fear... all kinds of emotions were mixed together, and she could see the revolving door of life in a trance.
Is she really going to leave like this? She still had a lot to do.
The company's clothing brand hasn't been launched yet, she hasn't been able to go home to have dinner with her uncle, she hasn't been able to take her mother and grandmother out for travel, and, and...
Suddenly, a hand opened the car door through the broken window, followed by a reminder: "Ning Xi!"
Gu Huaijing was soaked all over, his bangs stuck to his forehead, and his arms had several large and small wounds punctured by broken glass. Blood was flowing, but his face was determined and determined, as if he couldn't feel any pain at all.
The car door was opened, and after a rise and fall, Ning Xi was lifted up and brought out of the water by him.
The wind started to blow again, and some unidentified objects were swept up in the sky.
Suddenly, a heavy tree branch flew straight towards this side. Gu Huaijing held Ning Xi in his arms and let the branch hit him.
Ning Xi heard his groan of pain, and soon he said again: "Ning Xi, hold on to me!"
