Chapter 208 How to deal with it
Qiao Anming didn't expect Gu Lan to admit it so easily, so he felt a little sad because of his well-controlled emotions. For himself and for his marriage with Gu Lan, the soles of his feet felt sore from squatting, so he stopped squatting and stood by himself. Get up and sit on the edge of the bed, lower your head and say: "I know I'm sorry for you, but the child is not wrong, this is a life, he should be respected at least."

"Respect?" Gu Lan sneered: "You actually come to talk about respect to me now, so have you respected me? I have been waiting for you to question me for the past few months about finding someone to beat that woman, but You didn't, and then the two of you got together, blatantly, and I waited for you to tell me and confess to me, but after waiting for so long, you actually chose this day on our wedding anniversary, An Ming, what do you have? Are you qualified to tell me the word respect?"

When Gu Lan said this, she clenched her fists with her hands on her knees.

Qiao Anming was afraid of touching her emotions, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly, so he could only say in a soft tone: "Okay, it's my fault, I admit that I didn't consider the issue from your standpoint, but the child is innocent, How can you vent your resentment towards me on your child."

"Resentment? Yes, I resent that child, and even more resent that shameless woman, but I don't resent you! Besides, didn't you keep saying that you don't like children and won't have children?" When Gu Lan said these words, she would His head was slightly tilted to the side, his eyes were soft, as if he was wronged.

Qiao Anming looked at the woman in front of him, the woman who had shared his bed with him for 20 years, and for the first time saw the emptiness and poverty of their marriage so clearly.

I don't know if Gu Lan doesn't understand him, or he has never understood Gu Lan, anyway, for just that moment, he felt that she was terrible, so he didn't answer her words, just took a breath and continued: "Okay, we Instead of talking about the kids, I want to talk about the problems between us."

"Our problem? Talk about how you plan to deal with me?"

Qiao Anming had a headache when she used the word "disposal", but she was powerless to refute, so she just took out the documents from the document bag and handed them to Gu Lan.

"I know that I will hurt you by doing this, but I can't think of a better way. I won't say some useless lies. This is the divorce agreement and the share transfer agreement. 67% of Shengan under my name The shares and all properties are all transferred to you..."

Qiao Anming always remembers Gu Zhengmao's words before his death: "...you are the kind of aggressive person, calm, rational, and restrained! You always know what you want. And I need such a son-in-law!...I promise You have a bright future, you take care of Xiao Lan for me, this business is worth it to you!"

Gu Zhengmao knew Qiao Anming's ambitions and goals from the very beginning, and was willing to fully cooperate with him to achieve his goals. Using his daughter's marriage to feed his ambitions, using his ambitions to tie his fate, is obviously a sure win. Chess, but it happened that Qiao Anming met Du Ruo.

If Gu Zhengmao was still alive in this world, he probably wouldn't believe that this ambitious man in his eyes would give up his interests for a woman.

If you don't patronize Zhengmao, you won't believe it, and even the woman who has been with him for 20 years won't believe it.

So Gu Lan actually smiled, didn't look at the stack of documents, and asked: "An Ming, are you scaring me? I have a bad heart, and I can't stand your scaring me like this."

"No, what I just said is a deliberate decision. I have already signed the divorce agreement and the equity transfer agreement. As long as you sign your name, I will hand it over to the lawyer and it will take effect within half a month. "Qiao Anming sat on the bed opposite Gu Lan, speaking every word clearly, with a serious expression on his face, it really didn't look like he was joking.

Gu Lan sat there, still clenched his fists, and asked: "You want to divorce me, is it because of that woman?"

Qiao Anming didn't answer her question directly, but said: "At this age, it would be very unwise to overturn my life for a woman who is 20 years younger than me, but life has to be crazy once. The child will be born in a few months, and as a father, I want to give him a complete family."

His words have been made very clear, and he has not concealed. At this point, concealment and deception will cause greater harm, but Gu Lan still does not believe it, because it is too unscientific. After living with him for 20 years, his His career was more important than his life, how could he be willing to give up the career he had worked so hard for half his life just for a woman.

What is the reason?scare her?Want her to turn a blind eye to his relationship with Du Ruo?

"An Ming, are you doing it for the sake of the child? You proposed to divorce me for the sake of the child?"

"It's not all..." Qiao Anming's clear thinking was disturbed by Gu Lan, and he stroked his forehead with his fingers, trying to explain more clearly: "The child is one of the reasons, but..." He paused , sighed and said: "Maybe it's really old, now I feel a bit unbearable after staying up for several nights in a row, and I feel tired easily..."

He clearly wanted to explain more clearly, but Gu Lan became more and more confused the more he listened: "What do you mean? You have been married to me for 20 years, you are the head of the company, and your work takes up almost two-thirds of your life, but suddenly One day I feel tired, and then I want to divorce me... What kind of logic is this? An Ming, I don't understand..."

She really didn't understand, because in the past 20 years, she had never really calmed down to peek into Qiao Anming's heart.She always felt that he had a pair of broad shoulders, nothing would be difficult, and he could withstand the wind and rain. How could she know that such a person, with a strong appearance, was more likely to feel desolate in his heart.

But Qiao Anming didn't seem to intend for her to understand, he just needed her to accept.

"Gu Lan, we have been married for 20 years, and I will rely on you for everything, but now that Du Ruo's belly is getting bigger and bigger, I have to give her an explanation, you, her, and the child, if there is a need between the three If someone gets hurt, I can only choose to bear you..."

Even if he talked about this kind of thing, he still held a steelyard in his heart, weighing the pros and cons clearly.

Gu Lan looked at Qiao Anming, who was so calm that he was almost cruel, and his last words kept flashing in his mind.

"If someone must be hurt among the three, I can only choose to bear you..."

That was the cruelest sentence she had heard from Qiao Anming in her 20 years of marriage. It was so cruel that it shattered the last hope left in her heart. All the good things Qiao Anming had done to her in the past years, because of this sentence, Purchase and sale together.

The heart seemed to have fallen into a narrow bottle that would keep tightening, convulsing in pain, and his face turned from white to blue, and finally when his eyes went dark, Gu Lan passed out...

Du Ruo didn't sleep well that night, her waist was a little sore, her uterus was already pressing on her heart when she was lying on her back, so she felt tight in her chest when she was lying on her back, and her lower abdomen was sagging when she was lying on her side, so she was in bed all night. She kept changing her sleeping position, but she was unwilling to admit that the real reason she couldn't sleep well was because Qiao Anming wasn't by her side.

I finally stayed up until midnight and fell into a drowsy sleep. When I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. I quickly pulled out my phone and turned on the screen, only to find that there was no missed call.

It's a little strange. Normally, he would call her when he has time. Even if he didn't have time to call, he should have text messages. Du Ruo frowned, and was about to call Qiao Anming, but the phone rang loudly. When he answered, Lu Shuangfeng's voice .

"Mom, why did you call me so early?"

"Go ask the company for leave and come back to me!"

"What, what are you going back to do? Did something happen to Xiaofan?"

"Come back, come back!" Lu Shuangfeng's voice was a little impatient, and even a little hoarse in the irritability. Du Ruo was frightened by her voice, almost crying, and kept repeating: "Mom, what's the matter? Isn't it little?" What happened to Fan?"

"I told you to come back, you will know when you come back! Go to the station to buy tickets now!" Lu Shuangfeng's last voice was almost roaring, Du Ruo still wanted to ask, but the other end had already hung up the phone.

Du Ruo was really anxious, thinking that it must be Xiaofan's accident, so she called back again, didn't answer, called again, still didn't answer, and finally had to call her father, and just turned off the phone.

Du Ruo was a little confused, thinking that something happened to her younger brother, so she asked for leave from the company, and called Qiao Anming, but the other party didn't answer, so she could only leave him a text message: "I want to go back to Xuancheng, Maybe something happened to my brother again. Call me back sometime..."

Du Ruo didn't reply after sending the text message, so Du Ruo collected some clothes and simple luggage and took a taxi to the train station.

The train station may be the busiest place in the world, welcoming and sending off, visitors from all over the world, always noisy with crowds.

There was a hawker pushing a breakfast trolley at the gate of the ticket office. Du Ruo bought a pack of milk and sucked it and walked into the ticket office. The queue for buying tickets was already quite long. She walked around the gate and finally chose the one at the bottom. ticket window.

Surrounded by people who are on a journey in a hurry, it may be the return journey, or it may be to go to another completely unfamiliar city to start another life, but most of them have dull expressions and disturbed footsteps, while Du Ruo was squeezed In the crowd, someone pushed her accidentally. Seeing her sucking milk, carrying a bag of luggage in one hand, and protecting her puffy stomach with the other hand, the other party could only frown and give her way. point location...

In Chongzhou, which is not too far away, just after eight o'clock in the morning, the sun is already a bit harsh, slanting through the thick curtains, and spreading the light on the carpet decorated with large cosmos patterns.

Qiao Anming's cell phone was placed on the table in front of the window. The screen was on and off, and then on and off. When the wind came in, it lifted the edge of the curtain a little bit, and the stack of agreement documents next to the phone was blown up. ring……

It was actually just a very ordinary summer morning, the street was full of traffic, people were coming and going, drinking coffee or biting a steamed bun to start the day's work and busy, but when Du Ruo's bag of milk was almost finished, finally When it was her turn to buy a ticket, she still held the empty milk bag in her mouth, bent down and took out the wallet from the bag with some difficulty, and tried to poke her head towards the window...

"Trouble, give me the earliest ticket to Xuancheng today..."

A few days ago, she nestled in Qiao Anming's arms and said something very hypocritical.

She said: "Old Qiao, if one day we have to reach the end of the road, don't say goodbye, just pretend that we have never met before, delete the mobile phone number, delete the contact information, wake up, and live their own lives ..."

When they wake up, they live their own lives.

Qiao Anming woke up on the bench at the door of the emergency room. After staying up most of the night, he was exhausted, so he propped his forehead with his arms and slept like that for an hour. When he woke up, it was close to nine o'clock. The door of the emergency room, the red light on the door is still on.

Gu Lan had been pushed in overnight, nurses came in and out, but Doctor Qin never came out, Qiao Anming just sat at the door of the emergency room and waited all night, not daring to ask anyone about Gu Lan's situation inside.

Aunt Qin packed up a few pieces of Gu Lan's clothes and hurried back to the hospital, followed by Ren Peiyin. She stepped out of the elevator and saw Qiao Anming sitting on the bench with her forehead propped up. She grabbed Aunt Qin and strode over first.

"An Ming, what's going on? Why did Gu Lan enter the hospital again after being well?"

Qiao Anming raised his head and saw Ren Peiyin who was in a hurry in front of him, and Aunt Qin who was still standing behind Ren Peiyin with a resentful face. He slightly clenched his fists, stood up, and didn't answer, but asked, "Why are you here? Aunt Qin gave you Call?"

"Yes, you should have informed me about this kind of thing early in the morning." Ren Peiyin was also very anxious, and poked her head towards the door of the emergency room. The door was closed and she couldn't see what was going on inside. What did the doctor say?"

"I've been in there all night, and Doctor Qin is still inside and hasn't come out..."

"Why is it taking so long? What happened?" Ren Peiyin's voice was a little loud because she was too anxious, but Aunt Qin behind her started to cry first. Ren Peiyin's temper became even more irritable when she saw Aunt Qin crying. He yelled: "It's still being rescued inside, why are you crying? How unlucky!"

Aunt Qin wiped her tears, looked up at Qiao Anming, who was always buried in her head, and said hoarsely: "Madam, you don't know, Miss is sick because of uncle's anger..."

Aunt Qin swallowed a breath, and glanced at Qiao Anming from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was still bowing his head with a calm expression, she also felt cold in her heart, so she ignored the rules of the master and servants, and directly raised her head to meet Ren Pain continued: "...Yesterday was the wedding anniversary of the young lady and the uncle. The two had lunch at home and went to see some musicals together in the afternoon. It was fine until the evening, but suddenly the young lady went to the ward at night, When he was sent to the ambulance, his whole face was blue..."

Recalling the scene of last night, Aunt Qin was terrified and distressed, so she began to cry again, covering her mouth. Ren Peiyin lost her patience, and urged Aunt Qin, "Don't cry, what are you crying for? Speak clearly, why don't you cry?" If it's all right, it will be An Ming who provoked her?"

"..." Aunt Qin couldn't bear to sob a few more times before opening her mouth, intermittently, but at least she gave a general idea: "At first, I only thought that the lady had a common problem, but just now when I went back to pack my clothes, I saw those things in the room. There is a thick stack of papers, many of which I can't understand, but I can understand the divorce agreement, my uncle signed it, the miss must be sick because of this..."

……

Ren Peiyin was also very surprised when she heard this, she grabbed Aunt Qin's fingers and let go, turned to look at Qiao Anming, and asked in a tone of complete disbelief: "What did she mean just now? You want to divorce Gu Lan ?”

Ren Peiyin struggled to say the word "divorce", but Qiao Anming took a deep breath, sat back in the chair again, and replied with his forehead propped up: "There are some things that I can't explain in a few words. Now Gu Lan is still in the rescue, and I will wait until I get through it." This level, I will give you an explanation!"

Ren Peiyin was a little confused when she heard it, but Aunt Qin rushed ahead of her and stood in front of Qiao Anming, her eyes were red and swollen and she asked, "My lord, how could our lady be sorry for you, you want to divorce her without saying a word... You were in the house some time ago. I found another woman outside, and that woman was pregnant with your child, and the fuss was for nothing. In the end, the lady held back her breath and forgave you. I'm going through it all by myself, and I won't pester you to call you as usual, but why are you so rare to come back, and you suddenly want to divorce her?..."

……

Aunt Qin's words were scattered and chaotic, with a low-pitched weeping sound, so she couldn't utter the words clearly, but Ren Peiyin still heard the key sentence, and she went directly to Aunt Qin and shouted, "Child? What are you talking about?" Who is pregnant with An Ming's child?..."

And at that moment, the emergency light behind him suddenly went out, the nurse pushed Gu Lan out, and Doctor Qin followed the stretcher with an oxygen bag.Qiao Anming strode up, before he could ask any questions, Doctor Qin took off his mask first, and said helplessly: "Still in a coma, first aid measures have been taken, send it to the intensive care unit first, if you still don't wake up tomorrow , I can only take a risky operation..."

The word "surgery" made Qiao Anming stunned. The stretcher had already passed him and was pushed towards the elevator. Aunt Qin followed the stretcher bed along with tears. The same question: "What child are you talking about? Is it An Ming's child?"

……

And Du Ruo finally waited until the ticket gate opened, squeezed into the platform with the crowd, and got on the train with luggage.

The position by the window, the light shines on her side face through the window, she took a deep breath, covered her lower abdomen with the palm of her hand, and called Qiao Anming with her mobile phone, it rang for a long time, but still no one answered, she was a little guilty , I didn't call again.

It was already night when the train arrived in Xuancheng, and it was completely dark. Du Ruo followed the flow of people out of the station and called Qiao Anming in the taxi, but the other party had already turned off his phone.

She turned from guilt to fear, but after thinking about it, maybe it was just a coincidence that his cell phone was out of battery, so she was patient and full of worry, and sent him a text message: "I have arrived in Xuancheng, I hope my brother is okay, I hope I am safe and sound back to see you..."

She was joking, she wanted to cheer herself up, and summoned up the courage to meet her parents with this face, but she said it all, the words "safe and sound" eventually became "running in the opposite direction"!
The taxi could only drive to the entrance of the alley. Du Ruo got off with the luggage. The air-conditioning in the carriage disappeared, and the surrounding area was filled with humid heat from Xuancheng. Keep going in circles.

Du Ruo squeezed the strap of the luggage bag tightly and stood under the street lamp to cheer himself up. The owner of the small supermarket greeted Du Ruo warmly when he saw Du Ruo: "Xiao Ruo, why are you back so late? I haven't seen you for a long time..." After that Glancing down, seeing Du Ruo's swollen belly, he smiled ambiguously, and didn't say any more.

Du Ruo let out a "hmm", feeling a little irritated by the hot and humid air, so she put her hands on her back and walked towards the door of the house.

There is an old locust tree at the gate of Du Ruo’s house. Its roots and branches are knotted and thick. It’s just because there are many houses around it that it doesn’t see much sunlight all the year round, so the branches and leaves of the locust tree are not considered lush. When the wind blows, it looks more bustling. .

And Lu Shuangfeng and Du Liangxing were standing under the locust tree. Seeing Du Ruo turning around from the alley with luggage, Lu Shuangfeng's eyes got wet, and she walked into the yard with a sullen head.

Du Liangxin was still standing under the tree, watching Du Ruo approach a little bit, and also watching her puffed up belly become clearer, and finally he held his hands behind his back and sighed deeply.

"Let's go into the house first... let's talk after entering the house!" Afterwards, without even looking at Du Ruo, she just buried her head and left her a back view, and walked into the yard first.

Such a peaceful meeting, without yelling or questioning, made Du Ruo feel even more guilty and fearful.

The house is still the same, the small place is full of furniture and things, the old floor fan is placed in the middle, shaking the head, turning 360 degrees, it may have been used for too long, so while blowing, blowing There is a "click" gear friction sound...

Du Ruo followed her father across the threshold, and Lu Shuangfeng was sitting beside the faded paint table of the Eight Immortals, with one arm bent and resting on the edge of the table, the other hand clenched into a fist on her lap, her head slightly tilted to one side, with no intention of Take a look at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive, so he put his luggage on the ground and shouted hoarsely, "Dad...Mom..."

Lu Shuangfeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red and bloodshot: "Don't call us parents, we can't afford you!" Maybe it was because the emotions were too fast, or because the voice was too sharp, so When Lu Shuangfeng's ending sound was collected, she was a little torn and hoarse...

Du Liangxing, who was standing next to her, patted her on the back and comforted her slightly: "Shuangfeng, tell Xiaoruo carefully, you have high blood pressure, you should pay attention to yourself..."

Du Ruo bit her lower lip, various thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally walked over slowly, and said in a weak voice, "Mom, do you know everything?"

Lu Shuangfeng suddenly lowered her eyes, and shouted more sharply: "I know? What do I know? I don't know anything. I'm waiting for you to explain to me!"

Immediately, he took out a bulging envelope from his pocket and threw it in front of Du Ruo. Because the seal of the envelope had been opened, all the contents inside spilled out.

It was full of photos, made of greasy photo paper, rubbed against each other and scattered all over the table.

Du Ruo moved his gaze up, glanced at it, his mind was rumbling, and he held his breath before he had the courage to pick up those photos one by one and look at them.

The picture is clear and the angle is excellent. It captures various scenes of her and Qiao Anming together. They went to the restaurant for dinner, he took her for a check-up, walked along the camphor avenue at the entrance of the villa after dinner, and even sent Xiao Zhang to see her off. Her going to work, the scene of her getting out of the car, all kinds of life fragments, it's all in the pictures...
