Chapter 347 Something went wrong
Chu Xiao left Fu Garden and went straight home.
Hua Lan, who was eating dumplings, was somewhat surprised to see him return.
"Didn't you say you'd be back late? Why are you here so early? Have you eaten?"
A series of questions only elicited a reply from Chu Xiao: "I've already eaten."
Chu Xiao changed into his indoor shoes, walked straight through the living room, and returned to his study without even glancing in Hua Lan's direction.
Hua Lan stood up, staring blankly at Chu Xiao's figure.
"Your face is so dark, who bullied you?"
"No, I want to be alone for a while."
Since Chu Xiao had already said so much, she had no choice but to listen to him if she wanted to show any more concern.
Give him time and space, and ask him again when he's in a better mood.
After finishing her dinner and tidying up, Hua Lan went back to her room to start studying.
However, Chu Xiao's condition just now worried her, and she would occasionally be distracted by Chu Xiao's situation.
For a long time, there was no sound of Chu Xiao's footsteps, not even the sound of him making a phone call as usual.
When her self-study time ended, Chu Xiao didn't come out of the study once, not even to get a drink of water.
Her intuition told her that something was amiss and there must be something going on.
Something big must have happened to Chu Xiao.
However, since Chu Xiao didn't come out of the study, she couldn't go in and disturb him.
Despite her worries, Hua Lan had her internship the next day, so she went about her routine of washing up and going to bed.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Its ears stood up straight, constantly watching Chu Xiao's movements.
So much time has passed, it's impossible to expect Chu Xiao to take the initiative to speak up now.
Chu Xiao is a man who cares about his reputation, and he certainly won't voice many of his thoughts.
If she wanted Chu Xiao to reveal his current unhappiness, she would have to find some clues and use a little trickery before he would tell her everything.
All she needs to do now is wait.
While Chu Xiao was taking a bath, she slipped into the study to find out what was going on.
Hua Lan stared at the moon outside the window, waiting and waiting...
Five, six, seven, or eight dark clouds had already drifted past the moon, but Chu Xiao was still in his study.
"Sigh~ If I had Chu Xiao's willpower, I would definitely be very good at studying too."
Hua Lan felt unbearable lying in bed.
Chu Xiao sat there for so long without moving his buttocks at all.
Excellent composure!
Hua Lan got tired of lying on her left side and switched to her right side, having already chipped off four of her toenails.
finally......
Hua Lan heard Chu Xiao's footsteps.
First came the sound of the refrigerator being turned on and off, followed by the sound of the bathroom door closing and the sound of running water.
"Chu Xiao is taking a shower; now is a good opportunity."
Hua Lan's face lit up with joy. She muttered something as she got up and tiptoed to Chu Xiao's study.
The study was dimly lit, clearly not a place for studying or working with paper documents.
Hua Lan rubbed her chin, examining the layout of the study, trying to figure out what Chu Xiao had just done here.
"Then the only option is the computer in front of me."
Hua Lan opened each of the software programs on the computer in the correct order.
The memo contained the to-do list for tomorrow that he had just edited.
Next up is the browser.
What are you going to do with a browser?
Hua Lan was puzzled and opened Chu Xiao's search history to herself.
"Hehe~ Chu Xiao will never expect that I will be the first to use these investigative techniques he taught me on him."
Hua Lan's smug mood lasted only a second or two.
When Chu Xiao's search history was fully revealed, Hua Lan's heart skipped a beat, and waves of shock surged uncontrollably within her.
"Why would he search for information about euthanasia in Switzerland? Didn't Kinder transform its business?"
As I read through each item, it was all information related to euthanasia.
Hua Lan, whose nerves were on edge, noticed that the house had suddenly become very quiet.
Oops.
The absence of running water indicated that Chu Xiao had finished showering.
He'll be out soon after he's finished packing.
She had to get everything back to normal immediately and return to her room.
Hua Lan was extremely flustered, but thankfully her hands were still quite responsive.
He restored everything on Chu Xiao's desk and his computer desktop to their original state, then tiptoed into the room.
In the blink of an eye, the moment her bedroom door closed silently, the bathroom door opened, and Chu Xiao walked out.
Hua Lan leaned against the door and slowly exhaled.
She even breathed softly, afraid that the well-trained Chu Xiao would hear her.
Hua Lan didn't sit down by the bed until Chu Xiao's footsteps disappeared.
She was full of questions.
Why did Chu Xiao want to learn about euthanasia abroad?
The company is transforming and will no longer engage in medical-related businesses.
His searching for these things certainly has nothing to do with his work.
[Is Brother Chu busy lately?]
Do you have time to visit Brother Chu's father?
Hua Lan suddenly recalled Xiao Yue's words to her.
Yes, Xiaoyue's condition has also been quite strange lately.
Whenever Xiaoyue is with her, she always looks like she wants to say something but can't.
Ever since they came to our house for dinner last time, Xiaoyue's gaze towards her has changed.
He became hesitant to speak, as if he were enduring immense pain.
Hua Lan's eyes lit up when she thought of what Chu Xiao had said that day.
Could it be that......
"Is Uncle Chu going to have euthanasia?"
Hua Lan covered her mouth in disbelief.
Only this one answer can explain Xiaoyue's recent unusual behavior and the browsing history on Chu Xiao's computer.
It was precisely because of the father-son relationship between Chu Xiao and Uncle Chu that Xiao Yue wanted to tell her, but couldn't.
Everything became clear, yet Hualan was uncertain again.
Is that so?
Is Uncle Chu going to have euthanasia?
But why?
Uncle Chu wasn't that old, so why did he choose euthanasia?
Chu Xiao had already checked the information online, so the euthanasia thing must be true.
Uncle Chu wants to be euthanized.
Hua Lan's heart pounded as the news came suddenly.
I feel like I should do something, but I don't know what to do?
Hua Lan's mind was in turmoil. She held her head and tried her best to stay calm.
To find out the truth, she had to verify it.
"Yes, please verify."
Hua Lan placed her hand on her chest, took deep breaths for a long time, and then adjusted her state.
"Now, the only way is to ask Xiaoyue to find out the truth."
Hua Lan picked up her phone and prepared to go out.
Chu Xiao has excellent hearing, so she tries her best not to make any noise in order to avoid being discovered by him.
However, the beeping sound of the electronic door lock when it is opened is unavoidable.
She had just stepped out of the house when she heard Chu Xiao's voice behind her.
"What are you doing so late at night?"
Hua Lan poked her cheek with her finger to loosen the muscles in her face, so that Chu Xiao wouldn't notice anything amiss.
"I'm going downstairs to buy some things for girls."
Hua Lan kept her head down, and Chu Xiao couldn't see her expression. He assumed she was uncomfortable because of her period.
"Besides sanitary napkins, what else do you need? Ginger tea? Hand warmers?"
As Chu Xiao spoke, he had already reached Hua Lan's side.
"Go lie down on the bed, I'll go buy it for you."
"I can do it myself."
No sooner said than done, Hua Lan finished speaking, darted out the door, and slammed it shut with a "bang".
Chu Xiao was puzzled, "What's so embarrassing about buying a sanitary napkin?"
Even so, he still turned on the lights in the house, turned around and went to the refrigerator to find ginger, preparing to make a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water for Hualan.
Drinking something hot will greatly reduce the pain.
Hua Lan walked all the way to the entrance of the residential area, looked back, and only slowed down after confirming that Chu Xiao had not followed her out.
After leaving the residential area, I randomly found a chair by the roadside and sat down.
She was eager to know what had happened to Uncle Chu, and without caring what time it was, she called An Xiaoyue directly.
"Xiaoyue, I'm sorry to call you so late. I really can't find anyone else to help me."
