After the divorce, the boss tore off my vest with his own hands

Chapter 1403: Only an Empty Shell Left

At this moment, Joan was not as out of control as at the beginning, but her overall condition was still very bad. She was in a dazed state as if her soul had been pulled away.

"Joan!"

Chu Zhixin also bent down, went under the stairs, and reached out to Qiao An, "It's getting late, can we go home first?"

"go home?"

Qiao An hugged her knees, curled up, and looked up at Chu Zhixin.

"Yes, let's go home. Home is the safest and warmest place. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Chu Zhixin spoke gently, as if she was comforting her own daughter.

"kindness."

Qiao An's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded heavily, held Chu Zhixin's hand, and climbed up from the bottom of the stairs.

In the distance, Sheng Tingye was quite surprised when he saw Chu Zhixin walking towards him with Qiao An.

Because, according to his past experience, once Joan becomes ill, it is very difficult to calm down, and it will take at least ten days or half a month.

But now, maybe in just over an hour, Qiao An was able to follow Chu Zhixin home obediently. Does this prove that her illness has improved?

This further proves that it’s not that bad for Qiao An and Chu Zhixin to live together?

"I'm ready to go home, how about you?"

Chu Zhixin pulled Qiao An and asked Sheng Tingye in a lukewarm tone.

"I'll take you back."

Sheng Tingye said in a low voice.

"also."

Chu Zhixin nodded, protected Qiao An all the way, and got into Sheng Tingye’s car.

During this time, Sheng Tingye frequently looked back at Qiao An, and always felt that something was wrong.

Although Joan was very quiet at this time and did not lose control and go crazy like before, she was unusually silent. Her whole body was trembling, and she refused to make eye contact with them. This seemed... not a normal state.

While driving, Sheng Tingye hinted to Chu Zhixin: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with Qiao An?"

Chu Zhixin let Qiao An lean on his shoulder, holding Qiao An's hand tightly, and rolled his eyes at the man unhappily, "You are the one who is wrong, she is just too scared, so she doesn't want to communicate with us outsiders. I can understand her feelings, in fact, it is a self-defense mechanism, just to protect herself, it will be fine after a while."

“I don’t think it’s that simple…”

Sheng Tingye held the steering wheel and observed Qiao An's expression through the rearview mirror. He said with some concern, "Her condition is more than just fear. If it's convenient for you, you should take her to the hospital for a check-up."

"You just won't admit it. It's good that Joan is with us."

Perhaps driven by the desire to win, Chu Zhixin refused to admit that there was anything wrong with Qiao An and thought that Qiao An was simply a little depressed.

Because according to her past experience, she actually had such an experience. At that time, she really felt like an isolated island. She just wanted to isolate herself and not want to care about anyone.

That state was actually quite similar to Qiao An's, so she concluded that Qiao An only had an emotional problem, not a "pathological" problem as Sheng Tingye said.

What's more, this guy has always felt that Qiao An was not in good condition when she was with them. If it really becomes a "pathological" problem now, doesn't it indirectly prove that he is right? Not only will she be slapped in the face, but her brother will also be slapped in the face. She doesn't want to admit defeat just like that!

"I'm just suggesting it. Whether it's necessary or not is up to you. After all... our starting point is all for Qiao An's good."

Sheng Tingye also knew Chu Zhixin's thoughts very well, so he did not argue anymore and just focused on driving.

The silent atmosphere always makes everything heavy.

Qiao An leaned against Chu Zhixin like this, with her lips pursed together, not uttering a word, not even a note. Her eyes were empty, as if her soul had been taken away, leaving only an empty shell.

Chu Zhixin didn't dare to say too much to Qiao An. The few words she said seemed like she was talking to herself, and Qiao An didn't respond to her.

Gradually, she became unsure.

Could it be that Joan was not just in a bad mood, but was suffering from a disease more serious than insanity?

Forget it. It would be safer to take Qiao An to a professional psychology class tomorrow morning and have a thorough examination.

The car finally arrived at Chu's house. Sheng Tingye parked the car in front of the door, but had no intention of getting out.

"I won't go in, so as not to run into your brother and embarrass you."

Sheng Tingye touched the steering wheel, tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Chu Zhixin.

There was a hint of bad emotion in his voice, because he clearly realized how Chu Zhixin was protecting Chu Zhihan.

If one day he really fights with Chu Zhihan, Chu Zhixin will definitely stand against him with her brother without hesitation.

He didn't want this day to come, so he would deliberately avoid any situation where he would come into conflict with Chu Zhihan.

For example, now, Qiao An inexplicably became like a soul leaving his body. If they happened to meet Chu Zhihan.

No matter what the truth is, Chu Zhihan decided to attack him with all his strength and would believe that everything was caused by him.

Naturally, he was not a person who would swallow his anger, so the two sides were bound to go to war, and Chu Zhixin's situation became awkward.

"I also think that it's better for you to avoid it at this time."

Chu Zhixin also knew that whenever these two people met, there would inevitably be a verbal battle. It would be too uncomfortable for her to be caught in the middle, so it would be better to keep them physically isolated.

Sheng Tingye got out of the car, opened the back door considerately, and wanted to help Qiao An get out.

"Don't touch me!"

Qiao An reacted very violently, staring at Sheng Tingye with horror, treating him as a monster.

Sheng Tingye immediately stretched out his hand and stepped back to a safe distance, "Okay, I won't touch you, I won't touch you."

He didn't dare get close to Qiao An, fearing that a wrong movement or a wrong look from him would irritate the woman again.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, he's not a bad guy, we're not afraid!"

Chu Zhixin quickly pulled Qiao An into his arms and comforted her gently as if she were a three-year-old child.

"..."

Qiao An gradually calmed down and leaned obediently on Chu Zhixin's shoulder, saying nothing and showing no expression.

When Sheng Tingye saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He really admired Chu Zhixin.

"You're really good at this."

He praised sincerely.

If it was just a coincidence that she calmed Joan down at the beginning, then now that Joan calmed down quickly under her comfort, it proved that it was not a coincidence, but that she really had that ability.

At least, there was something in her that could make Joan feel calm. Perhaps he had been too arbitrary and subjective before. Were they really the only ones who could cure Joan?

"What do you think!"

Chu Zhixin helped Qiao An get out of the car and walked towards the house little by little. Then he turned back and looked at Sheng Tingye in the night. "But no matter what, thank you so much today!"
