Chapter 1328: People are divided into close and distant
The next day, Shen Xi learned that Ji Shucan had been shot and was hospitalized.
When I called Zhou Yunxiao, he was very different from the high-spirited and suave man he used to be.
He was unkempt, had an untidy beard, and his coat was wrinkled like moldy dried vegetables. He looked like a cabbage that had been salted and then dehydrated, wilted.
Shen Xi felt very sad when he saw it.
"Old Zhou, how is Judge Ji?"
"Sister-in-law..." As soon as his voice came out, Shen Xi felt sour in her heart. What grown man's voice is a little shaky when speaking?
She just can't stand hearing this, and she feels uncomfortable when she sees this kind of scenes on TV.
Don’t mention that this is Zhou Yunxiao.
"Old Zhou..." She thought about how to comfort his weak heart.
"Sister-in-law, I want to talk to Achuan."
My heart immediately stopped feeling sad.
Seeing how miserable he was, she didn't bother with him.
He gave the phone to Chen Chuan: "Here, I want to tell you."
Chen Chuan took it, glanced at Zhou Yunxiao, and snorted coldly: "She can't die, who are you showing this to?"
"Achuan, I harmed her." Zhou Yunxiao murmured gloomily, "If I had listened to you and kept a low profile when accepting the award, none of this would have happened."
After all, it is money that moves people.
Who would have thought that because he did not dress up to receive the prize, the lottery station did not publish his clear photo and deliberately blurred it.
But his upstairs neighbor actually recognized him.
Then, his apartment began to be robbed repeatedly.
He thought that he had already paid the bonus to Achuan, and there was no cash in the apartment. Even if a thief came, he would leave empty-handed and the loss would not be big. In addition, the apartment was close to the law firm, so he was too lazy to move.
After all, he was just staying here temporarily and would be returning home soon. He was a grown man with decent skills and a gun, so even if there was anything, would he be afraid of them?
Now, he deeply regretted his arrogance and conceit.
He harmed Ji Shucan.
The bullet hit her right chest, causing severe blood loss, and she almost died that night.
At that time, he prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the East and the West, and even swore that if Ji Shucan was okay, he could live his whole life...it didn't matter if he couldn't get up.
As long as she's okay.
It was not known whether the gods or Buddhas agreed to his request, but Ji Shucan was rescued. However, she was still in danger due to excessive blood loss and had not woken up.
Whenever Zhou Yunxiao thought of her lying in his arms, covered in blood, his heart ached.
If he had checked the kitchen carefully inside and out that night, this wouldn't have happened.
"Achuan, if you were here, you definitely wouldn't be as stupid as me and not notice that person."
Chen Chuan sighed: "Even if I were here, I wouldn't be able to find it."
Who would have thought that the man was hiding in the refrigerator?
Sure enough, there are still many strange people in this world. That man can fold his hands and feet, shrink them into a very small size, and then stuff them into a refrigerator.
India is truly an amazing country, and what is even more speechless is that person’s train of thought and “quick wit”.
No normal person would think of looking for someone in the refrigerator...it's not like they're searching the house for a murder, looking for hands and feet.
Zhou Yunxiao is a human, not a god, and he doesn't have the ability to see through things, so it's unnecessary for him to blame himself.
Lao Zhou was still very frustrated: "But in the end, it was because I was too arrogant that I got into this trouble."
Sister Caibao won the prize, he was too happy, too proud, too excited, so much so that... he went straight to collect the prize money.
He thought he would be able to return home soon...
As the old saying goes, don't show off your wealth, or you will suffer.
But if anything has to happen, it should be him, why should he hurt Ji Shucan?
She is a good and honest person and she shouldn't have to pay for his superficiality.
Chen Chuan looked at him: "Go on, are you going to say that I am to blame for this because I let you collect the bonus?"
Zhou Yunxiao was horrified: "I didn't mean that, Achuan."
"Since there is no such thing, stop your useless regrets. She is not dead, she is your wife, isn't it natural for me to save you?"
is that so?
Shen Xi and Zhou Yunxiao looked at Chen Chuan at the same time.
Chen Chuan ignored their gazes and continued, "If you were the first one to discover that person, would you choose to save her?"
Zhou Yunxiao nodded: "I will."
There is no need to think about this at all. Not to mention that Ji Shucan is his wife, he would save any other woman.
"So, she would too. She just made the same choice as you."
"Whether from a personal or professional perspective, she saved you of her own free will. If you put yourself in her shoes, you would be the same. So, this is just an accident. Don't take it upon yourself, understand?"
"Achuan..." It's so strange. The strong sense of self-blame that I had originally felt began to dissipate immediately after Achuan said that.
Chen Chuan said calmly, "A husband and wife should have a life-and-death relationship. But many people forget their original intentions as time goes by. Just like when I'm in danger, my wife will stand in front of me at the first moment."
Shen Xi:......
I heard that you were the first to hide behind me every time... Please make it clear whether it's active or passive...
Yes, after listening to Chen Chuan’s words, Zhou Yunxiao’s original guilt turned into emotion.
"If you really feel bad, treat them better next time."
"I will. From now on I will never look at other women again and will only be devoted to her."
"You can't tell me this, tell it to someone who should hear it."
"it is good."
"If you're still not in your right mind, don't call me again. I don't like to comfort idiots, and I don't have the time for that."
After Chen Chuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Before he put down his phone, his wife's face, full of curiosity, appeared in front of him.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask."
He was straightforward.
"Are you glad?"
"Yes."
What are you celebrating? Of course, you are celebrating that the injured person is Ji Shucan, not Zhou Yunxiao.
Saying this seems a bit cold-blooded.
But isn't that the way it is for everyone? Other people's lives and deaths and their misery have nothing to do with me.
Just like watching TV dramas, when you see a tragedy, those with stronger empathy will cry along with the others.
After crying and turning off the TV, I continued doing what I had to do, laughing and making noises as usual. The tragedy on TV was long forgotten.
Ji Shucan is such a person to Chen Chuan.
stranger.
So, if he could choose, he would of course choose Ji Shucan getting injured rather than Zhou Yunxiao.
People are close or distant to each other, that's just reality, no one should blame anyone else.
Shen Xi continued to ask him: "Have you changed your opinion of Ji Shucan now?"
He raised his eyebrows and asked her curiously, "Changed? Why?"
