Chapter 240 Five

"What's the matter?" She was a little surprised. You must know that under the leadership of Duan Muyu, the Xi family is in a very good condition now.

He wouldn't have come to her if there was nothing wrong.

Duanmu Yu's expression was a little dignified, and he walked straight to her, "I know at this time, it's not good for you if I propose to go back to Japan temporarily, but—something happened to my mother!"

He is struggling a bit, on the one hand is his mother, on the other hand is his most beloved sister, and she is about to give birth, the affairs of the empire are busy enough, now adding Xi Shi, she can't bear it at all.

Crystal was a little surprised. She never knew what to call Duanmuyu's mother, and she didn't care about love, so she hesitated before asking, "What's wrong with her?"

Duanmuyu's expression was a bit depressed, and it took him a long time to let out a breath, "She has a stomach problem, which can't be cured."

He couldn't say the full name, as if he would sentence her to death if he said it.

"How could this happen!" Jing Jing was stunned for a moment, she had met Duan Muyu's mother once, she was a very beautiful and wild woman, totally incompatible with her father's politeness, but they were crazy in love.

It is unimaginable for such a woman to suffer from an incurable disease.

She said without hesitation: "Go back to Japan! I'm fine here."

Duanmuyu asked worriedly: "You are alone."

Crystal pretended to be light and said: "You forgot that there is another Lan Shaofeng, I can find him."

After being silent for a while, Duanmuyu could only nod his head. In fact, he had no choice but to stay in China all these years. His mother must miss him very much!

Furthermore, he is the heir of the Duanmu family, but he has not fulfilled his responsibilities for many years. One can imagine the pressure on his mother.

Therefore, he can no longer be so selfish, but he is really worried about Crystal's situation.

"Go back! Brother Yu, say hello to Auntie for me!" Jing Jing looked down at her belly, "Now I am going to be a mother too, so I can understand how she is feeling now, and I must be really looking forward to your return."

Duanmuyu looked at her in pain, "I hope to come back sooner, but I don't want to come back sooner, Crystal...I..."

She stood up and covered his lips, "Don't talk nonsense, Auntie will live a long time, Brother Yu, I can't be selfish and leave her alone just to keep you by my side, I actually already have a lot."

"When are you leaving?" She changed her smiling face, trying to make him feel less sad.

Duanmuyu pointed to the suitcase at the door: "Leave immediately, the ticket has been bought."

Crystal nodded, "Then hurry up! Don't miss the plane."

He took a deep look at her, stepped forward suddenly, and hugged her very tightly, but still avoided her belly...

Duanmuyu buried his head in her hair, took a breath, "Take care of yourself!"

Crystal wrapped his arms around his neck, "You too!"

He let her go gently, and left without looking back.

He didn't say when he would come back, because none of them knew.

Fast and slow, both are a kind of injury, aren't they?

Crystal kept looking at the direction he was leaving, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled faintly.

If you know each other, then separation, then life and death, what is it!

After Duanmuyu left, Crystal became very busy. She moved between two international companies. Sometimes she didn't even have time to sleep. She just lay down for a while and continued to read official documents.

They don't go to bed until at least twelve o'clock every night, which makes Butler Feng and Secretary Huang very distressed.

Originally, Jing Jing wanted Secretary Huang to learn how to handle Xi's affairs, but she was determined not to get involved because she wanted to keep the outsider's role.

Of course, Secretary Huang felt a little guilty towards Crystal for making such a decision. She could only secretly feel distressed when she saw Crystal's thinner face.

She can only feel distressed, because her mother once warned her sternly - not to touch anything about Xi's decision-making, under any circumstances.

Those words let Secretary Huang know that mother actually loved Mr. Xi, but this love could never be expressed in words.

This is the sorrow of the outer room, and it is an outer room with a wrong start!

She could only sort out those official documents to the point that they couldn't be better, and they couldn't be more detailed before sending them to Crystal, but even so, the huge workload would still be too much for an eight-month-pregnant woman.

Crystal sleeps less and is of poorer quality.

At this moment, she was sitting in Lu Zhan's usual study, with a mountain of official documents in front of her. Secretary Huang accompanied her inside and helped her get some things.

The butler Feng knocked on the door and came in, bringing in two bowls of supplements: "Let's have some supper!"

She looked at the crystal: "Madam, it's already one o'clock, you should rest."

Crystal rubbed her eyes and sat up straight, "It's already one o'clock? Let's rest for a while!"

Seeing that she meant to continue to work, Housekeeper Feng disagreed very much: "Madam, the young master or young lady also needs to rest!"

Crystal rubbed her lower abdomen, "I know that too, but I can't let the Xi family and the empire go down! Is it a baby?"

Her face was full of exhaustion, but that smile was extremely moving.

Secretary Huang was a little dumbfounded. Is the power of love really that great?

After that, neither of them spoke, and they ate the housekeeper's wishes.

When Secretary Huang was about to continue, Crystal said softly, "Go to sleep!"

She knew that Secretary Huang was actually working harder than her. Just sorting out these documents was enough, and she even accompanied her to review them.

In the past few days, she also let her sleep here, so as to save the suffering of traveling and traveling.

Secretary Huang shook his head, "I want to stay here with you!"

Crystal smiled lightly and blinked: "Let's be lazy together today! Let's sleep together!"

Of course Secretary Huang hoped that Crystal could go to bed early, so she agreed without thinking.

"I'll just do it myself." Crystal walked to the connected room and walked into the bathroom.

Secretary Huang heard the sound of running water, and felt relieved, and walked to the guest room on the first floor.

Crystal washed her face and heard that there was no sound, so she went back to the study and opened a document.

Under the bright light, her face as white as jade exudes a faint halo, which is extremely touching, and of course it also makes people feel distressed.

After a while, she suddenly looked up, always feeling a pair of black eyes staring at her in the dark.

Is not sleeping too little, so the illusion?

She shook her head and smiled, then buried her head again. Unknowingly, more than an hour passed, the pen in her hand dangled, and finally put it down, and her head rested on the desk...Under the eyelashes, there is a faint shadow…

A pair of black eyes stared at the dark place for a moment, he suppressed himself, not letting himself rush out to meet her, hug her...

However, he held back.

Now he doesn't even have the strength to carry her back to the bed, so why should he go to see her.

Back in his room, he was gasping for breath, feeling like a gray mouse... unable to see anyone!

I reached out and pressed the indoor phone, and there was the voice of Butler Feng: "Sir, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhan said in a low voice, "Go let Crystal go back to sleep in the room."

Housekeeper Feng was a little surprised, "Madam hasn't slept yet?"

Lu Zhan didn't speak, so she immediately hung up the phone and walked to the second floor.

I saw my wife lying on the table, sleeping soundly.

She walked over and called softly: "Madam, go back to your room and sleep!"

Crystal opened her eyes in a daze. She was a little hazy from sleep, so she hadn't recovered from the dream, and called "Lu Zhan" in a daze.

Butler Feng was stunned, but quickly patted the crystal again: "Madam is me, go back to sleep, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Only then did Crystal come to his senses, and as he stood up, he casually asked, "How do you know I'm still here!"

"The light is still on." Feng Steward reprimanded: "Madam shouldn't be so disrespectful to herself. If Mr. was here...would not allow Madam to work so hard."

Crystal smiled faintly: "But he's gone, so I have to take care of everything for him, right?"

She had already figured it out. After Duanmuyu came back, she would hand over Xi's management to him, and she would take some shares to get dividends, and the focus would be on the empire.

Butler Feng sighed: "That's what I said, but Madam has to think about the child in her belly! It can't be like this anymore!"

Crystal felt a little heartbroken when she heard this, and put her arms around her chest, thinking in her heart, if Lu Zhan was still around, how would she hurt her!

But I can only think about it.

After she returned to her room, Housekeeper Feng took another look at the study before leaving.

The next day, Jing Jing got up a little late, Secretary Huang took her back to the company and said: "I have something to do this morning, let's have dinner together at noon."

Crystal nodded, "Then you go! Be careful on the road."

Secretary Huang's expression was a little complicated. She looked at the crystal for a long time, but finally said nothing.

She got into the car, instead of visiting her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time like Jing Jing wanted, she drove the car back to Lu's house in Dazhi.

As soon as he entered, he saw Steward Feng standing in the hall with a anxious expression on his face.

She went up to meet him and said excitedly, "Where is Lu Zhan!"

She didn't understand why Lu Zhan was alive, and she didn't want to see Crystal, but wanted to see her.

The secrets in it made her deeply uneasy, and she had a premonition that this truth would make Crystal even more miserable.

Because sometimes, living is more painful than dying.

Feng Steward looked serious, she led Secretary Huang to the storage room on the first floor, walked into a dark staircase, then turned a corner and opened a door, when entering, Secretary Huang was stunned——

This room should be right next door to the crystal room!

Her eyes fell on a wheelchair beside the bed, on which a man sat with his back to her.

Butler Feng said softly: "Sir, someone brought it here, you talk about it!"

She said, and left!

Secretary Huang stared at the man, and it took him a long time to call out his name, "You are Lu Zhan!"

She can be sure that he is Lu Zhan, and he is in a wheelchair, so his legs...

She knew that Lu Zhan's leg was seriously injured before, and he was still sitting in a wheelchair after so long, so could he... She simply didn't dare to think about it.
