Chapter 116 Because of Responsibility

I watched anxiously on the platform, where Robert was still reading his speech according to the script, and I could see that he not only flew back from abroad specially for this opportunity, but also prepared such a long speech.

For 10 minutes, he spittled and talked on the stage, from the small village where he was born to the small house where he lives now, from the gardening party to aliens, and so on. , There is no topic related to the anniversary at all.

I was really worried that he would talk about his love history and remind Uncle Fan of something, but he seemed to avoid this topic very wisely, and just said lightly that he and Zongxian met in a drunk That night, Zongxian took care of his stomach trouble, and they became friends.

Seeing me keep looking up the stage, Uncle Fan cast his eyes on Robert and asked me, "Which country is this fat man from? What bird language does he speak?"

I shivered with fright, broke out in a cold sweat, quickly looked away, laughed dryly, and diverted Uncle Fan's attention: "Uncle Fan, you just said that your little grandson asked you to buy him a toy car, and you bought him a toy car?" Did you buy it?"

"Oh, how can I get used to his problem, children are always spoiled." Uncle Fan took a puff of cigarette and said solemnly.

I don't smoke, I was choked badly, and I was thinking about how to get rid of this embarrassing situation, when by chance, Xiao Qian walked over.

I hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw me, he walked over with a cold face, and sat opposite me: "On the stage is that gardener whose life was saved by Zong Xian?"

I:……

I suddenly felt that I had made a mistake, and hurriedly looked at Uncle Fan, but there was nothing unusual about him.

I'm very surprised, what's going on, don't he and Robert really know each other?Could it be that the person in the photo is not actually him?

impossible.

I tried to find something on Uncle Fan's face, but I couldn't find any clues. Uncle Fan greeted Xiao Qian and asked about his recent situation.

Xiaoqian and Uncle Fan are also old acquaintances, and they chatted very speculatively. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my gaze to the foreigner with green eyes.

Robert just said that he would introduce him to me, presumably his friend, now the three of us have a big talk, but put him aside, it seems not very kind, but it seems too abrupt to talk to him rashly.

I was thinking about how to speak when Robert finished his speech and left the stage.When the foreigner saw Robert, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and watched him walking towards us.

Robert walked to the side of the foreigner, nodded to him, motioned him to sit down, then glanced at Uncle Fan who was also looking at him, snorted coldly, turned his face and sat on the seat on my right.

Regarding Robert's hostility, Uncle Fan finally seemed to find something strange. He twirled the non-existent beard on his chin and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked me: "Xiaoying, what did you call this fat man just now?"

Hearing that Uncle Fan called him fat again, Robert blushed with anger. He picked up a piece of meat in front of him with chopsticks and took a bite.

"Uncle Fan, you are so concerned about his body shape, why don't you let him eat?" Before I could answer Uncle Fan's question, Xiao Qian said something for Robert, and he picked up a piece of asparagus in front of him, After looking at it, he put down his chopsticks again, apparently without any appetite.

Uncle Fan glanced at Robert, who was eating and drinking with puffed cheeks, smiled indifferently, poked my arm, and asked, "Xiaoying, what is this man's name?"

"Robert." I picked up the dishes in the bowl, thought about it, and told him.

"Robert? Robert..." Uncle Fan muttered the name, and looked at Robert carefully from top to bottom. Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the cigarette pot in his hand fell to the table with a "slap" superior.

"It's...it's you!" Uncle Fan stood up suddenly, walked around me, walked behind Robert, patted him on the shoulder, and turned him in front of him, "How did you become... like this?"

Robert stared at Uncle Fan, his face blushed and turned black, and then turned white. After a while, he moved his cheeks and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"@#￥D%*#H^..."

He patted Uncle Fan's hand away and said something that no one understood.

A father and daughter passed by us. I moved a seat to the left, pulled Uncle Lafan's sleeve, and asked him to sit down so that he could pass by.

The girl thanked me, glanced at me with a smile, and walked to the stage holding her father's arm.

Xiao Qian suddenly cast a cold look at the girl's back, and then gave me a strange look.

I was baffled by him, so I quickly thought about it and found that I didn't seem to offend this little ancestor just now, so I took a bite of food and suppressed my shock.

After Uncle Fan sat down, he looked around and didn't seem to find the person he was looking for, so he asked Robert, "Where's him?"

A trace of panic flashed across Robert's pale face, he lowered his eyes and shook his head.

Uncle Fan was silent for a moment and then asked: "Did he not come, or..."

At this point, Uncle Fan stopped suddenly, and I seemed to understand what was going on.

I pulled Uncle Lafan's sleeve to tell him not to talk about it again.

Uncle Fan understood what I meant, so he changed the subject. Robert's complexion improved a lot, and after a while, he happily introduced the foreigner next to him to us.

The blond foreigner named Kevin Faber is a friend Robert met at the Floria Butterfly Garden Expo in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Kevin is Dutch and works for the International Horticultural Producers Association. He came to Nanyang this time. It was for Robert to help him make some bonsai.

Knowing that we are friends of Robert, Kevin became more friendly. Although we don't understand Dutch, we had a pleasant chat through Robert's poor translation.

Xiao Qian watched in amazement as Robert spoke four languages. He was speechless, and unconsciously ate all the food in his bowl.

The speakers on the stage changed one after another, and it wasn't until seven or eight times that I was surprised to realize that Zong Xian knew so many dignitaries.In addition to Robert, there are two others who flew here from overseas on purpose.

The yard was already full, and there were still people walking in one after another at the gate.It was right for Zong Xian to arrange for the waiter of the hotel to receive him, otherwise, with our family alone, we would definitely be exhausted.

Looking at this bustling scene, I couldn't help thinking happily, maybe my marriage with Zong Xian didn't cause such bad consequences. After all, our situation is not unprecedented.

Finally it was the last one's turn to give a speech. To my surprise, it was Zong Xian's mother who gave the speech.

As soon as she took the stage, people fell silent. Obviously, most of the hospital staff knew her, and the people Zong Xian knew should also know her.

After a short self-introduction, she entered the topic. Unlike the previous speeches, she had a serious face.

"Everyone understands the reason for the anniversary celebration of Renxian Hospital this time, but not everyone really knows the story behind it, and not everyone can understand Zongxian's approach. As a mother, I watched my son's Heartblood suffered heavy injuries because of some rumors, no matter what, we should seek justice for him, not to mention, he did nothing wrong in this matter."

There was a quiet discussion in the crowd, I pressed my beating heart, prayed that the scene in my dream would not become a reality, and searched for Zong Xian on the stage.

Zong Xian was standing under the podium, looking at his mother without blinking, his face full of expectation.

"Everyone has heard the story of Zong Xian and Gu Ying from various sources, and some even experienced it personally. Everyone knows what Zong Xian has done for Gu Ying, but no one seems to think about it seriously. Why would you do that?"

"Why? Isn't it because you like it?"

"That's right, otherwise who can do this?"

The discussion among the crowd became louder, some people looked at me, some people looked at Zong Xian, Zong Xian's face darkened a little bit, but my heart couldn't help but lift up.

What exactly does Zongxian's mother mean?

"I think everyone has misunderstood. Zong Xian did this because of responsibility." Zong Xian's mother emphasized every word. "Gu Ying is Gu Xun's younger brother. Gu Xun grew up in our family and is almost half our son. Gu Ying was injured during the dispute between Zong Xian and Gu Xun. Zong Xian took care of Gu Ying until he recovered. It is his unshirkable responsibility. I am very pleased that Zong Xian is a responsible person. Faced with the accident he caused, he did not choose to escape, but chose to bear it. Renxian Hospital has such a director, and he will definitely Overcome this difficulty, and our family members will become his solid backing, and when Renxian Hospital encounters difficulties, we are obliged to lend a helping hand..."

There was a burst of applause from the crowd, and Zong Xian's mother continued her speech. I thought about what she said just now, and I always felt that something was wrong.

Because of responsibility?Just because of responsibility?Why did Zong Xian's mother...

"Pa—" a crisp sound interrupted my train of thought.

"Know the face, but not the heart!"

Xiao Qian on the opposite side suddenly dropped his chopsticks on the table, stood up and walked towards me.

"Xiao Qian, what's the matter?" I was pulled up from my seat by Xiao Qian, and walked out through the crowd unsteadily.

Xiao Qian's face was ashen, biting his lip and not saying a word.

I looked back at our table. Robert and Kevin were discussing the dishes on the table. Uncle Fan looked in our direction worriedly, hesitating to speak.

I looked at the stage again, Zong Xian was still looking at the stage, but his face was stiff, and he didn't have the slightest excitement from the beginning of the anniversary celebration.

What the hell is going on?

I asked Xiao Qian in surprise.

Xiao Qian didn't wipe off his sweat until he dragged me out of the hospital gate, and gave me a pale look: "Zong Xian's fiancée is back."
