obsessed with love

Chapter 217 No way out
Half an hour later, the staff came out from the inner room and handed the urn to Du Ruo. She held it all the way, buried it, covered it with soil... and stood in front of the new stele that had just been erected, without crying!

The hearse sent everyone back to the urban area, Xiaofan was supported by Du Liangxing, and walked in the front with Lu Shuangfeng's portrait in his arms, while Du Ruo was supported by Qiao Anming, and followed silently all the way.

The weather that day was a bit cloudy, but the air was extremely hot and suffocating.

As if completing a grand and sad ceremony, the expressions on everyone's faces were sad and silent, but their lives were fragile and their hearts were cold.

A group of mourners turned into the alley, Du Ruo looked up, but saw a person standing under the shade of the old pagoda tree.

Qiao Anming's eyes darkened, and he hugged Du Ruo's hand even tighter. When Mo Youting saw the crowd approaching, he immediately went up to them. Everyone had extremely sad faces. Finally, he found the back, Du Ruo just like that Weak and half leaning against Qiao Anming's arms.

"Du Ruo..." Mo Youting paused for a few seconds, his voice was so hoarse that he startled himself.

Du Ruo saw the person in front of her clearly, her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound. Qiao Anming held her waist and said in a very calm tone: "She's in a bad mood, so I'm sorry, I want to take her in to rest for a while. .”

Mo Youting seemed to say something, but seeing that Du Ruo's face was frighteningly pale, he nodded and followed them in.

Relatives gradually dispersed, Du Liangxing hung Lu Shuangfeng's portrait on the wall, and Xiaofan followed the nurses back to the hospital.

In just over 20 hours, her relatives disappeared completely in this world, leaving only the portrait on the wall.

Du Ruo stood in front and looked up for a long time...Because Lu Shuangfeng passed away unexpectedly, her portrait was not taken properly, so she found an enlarged frame for a previous life photo from the album.

In the photo, Lu Shuangfeng smiled very nicely, and she was still wearing the old faded down jacket. Du Ruo still remembered this photo. At that time, she had just gone to Tongcheng for college. In order to save travel expenses, she did not go back for the New Year during the winter vacation. I found a part-time job as a waiter in a restaurant. After the Spring Festival, Lu Shuangfeng went to Tongcheng to see her. Du Ruo was very happy, and took Lu Shuangfeng to a park in Tongcheng to release river lanterns. I spent ten yuan to take this kind of photo...

Du Ruo stood in front of Lu Shuangfeng's portrait for a long time...

The wind blew into the hall from the courtyard door, and she was standing in the center of the living room, looking up at the portrait. She was wearing an old wrinkled skirt, and her back was too thin. The well-groomed hair was all tied behind the head with a black rubber band. Because of the scene in Qiao Anming's arms in the morning, the hair was a bit messy, and after several strokes, it fell loose and hung by the ear...

The leaves of the old locust tree at the door are still rustling, Du Ruo’s skirt is also shaking, the instep is swollen high, and the fluffy ankle is hidden under the skirt, revealing the heel of sandals without buckles...

Mo Youting still remembers the last time he saw Du Ruo in Tongcheng. He was about to be discharged from the hospital at that time, and she took Qiao Anming to see him. At that time, Du Ruo seemed to be a little fatter, with fair skin and soft, loose clothes in milky white. A cotton shirt with a circle of pale pink begonias embroidered on the front and neckline, which complements the complexion so well, but the whole person is dangling in front of his eyes, with a lazy look, and it feels like a cloud that cannot be caught...

That was the last time Mo Youting saw Du Ruo in his memory. His stomach was not as big as it is now, and he gained a lot of weight, but he seemed in a good mood, and now?I haven't seen her for a while, but she has gone through so many things alone...

Mo Youting only returned to Tongcheng last night, and he didn't take his mobile phone out, so he didn't see Zheng Xiaoran's text message until he turned it on when he got home. He called Zheng Xiaoran overnight to find out the situation, and only then did he know that so many things happened here in Du Ruo.

When he left Tongcheng, he told himself that he would take care of Du Ruo's affairs in the future, but just a text message from Zheng Xiaoran made Mo Youting feel that the world was in chaos, so he went back to the airport the same way and took the earliest flight in the early morning Come to Xuancheng.

Zheng Xiaoran made it very clear on the phone that Qiao Anming was in Xuancheng and was with Du Ruo all the time, but Mo Youting still couldn't help himself wanting to come, but what if he came?I can't do anything, but I can only stand behind her like this, looking at her emaciated back... Her stomach is already so big, and she is so thin, it feels like her waist will be broken, just like the wind blowing at the gate of the courtyard. Blow it in, and if you are not careful, you will blow her down.

"Du Ruo..." Mo Youting opened his mouth hoarsely, and finally called out her name, but the person in front of him still stood quietly, but Qiao Anming glanced sideways at Mo Youting, his eyes were also dark and indifferent …

Mo Youting was angry in his heart, so naturally he couldn't give Qiao Anming a good face, and looked back at the man angrily. The three of them stood in a triangle posture. The cool summer breeze was blowing slowly, but the heat in the room still couldn't be blown away.

It was a very dull atmosphere, everyone didn't speak, as if they were holding down their own thoughts.

There was the sound of neighbors talking at the door, followed by Du Liangxing's footsteps. He hurried in across the threshold, ignoring the dull atmosphere in the room, and put the disposable food box in his hand on the Eight Immortals table in the hall.

"I casually packed some fried rice at the snack bar at the entrance of the alley. You can just eat some..." When Du Liangxing said this, his eyes kept looking at Qiao Anming. In the past few days, he had personally watched Qiao Anming busy with the affairs of the Du family. He was busy inside and out, so although he didn't like this man, at least he didn't hate him anymore.

Qiao Anming nodded politely, but still stood still without taking the food box.

Du Liangxing turned around again, and said to Mo Youting a little jerky: "You are Xiaoruo's friend... Let's stay and eat together too. Xiaoruo is in a bad mood these days, if there is something that I didn't take good care of, please forgive me... "

"Uncle, you're welcome. I'm Du Ruo's college classmate. I just rushed over when I heard that my aunt had an accident... You also have to take care of your health and let your condolences pass..." Mo Youting changed his dead face just now, and gave Du Liangxing a meal " Du Liangxing felt that the man in front of him was handsome, extraordinary, polite and pleasing, so he took a few more glances...

"It turned out to be Xiao Ruo's classmate. I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you... It's just that too many things have happened these days..." Du Liangxing glanced at Du Ruo's back as he said this, and she still stood motionless, as if the world Except for the portrait of Lu Shuangfeng, there is nothing else that can catch her eyes.

"Hey..." Du Liangxing sighed for a long time, and his tone that had just gotten better became cold again: "This child, who has been careful and thoughtful, suddenly happened again, and can't turn around for a while... Help me persuade, I'm afraid If she continues like this, something will happen..."

Du Liangxing probably didn't finish his sentence, but his voice was a little choked up, he could only stop his voice in a hurry, took out a food box from a plastic bag and handed it to Du Ruo, patting her on the shoulder to persuade her: "Eat something... in the morning I didn’t eat when I went out, it’s not good for children to be hungry...”

Du Ruo didn't move his body, but turned his head to the side, glanced at the fried rice in the box, and lost his appetite.

Qiao Anming walked over, took the food box, and said in a low voice: "Give it to me, I will persuade..."

Du Liangxing regained his composure, walked out with a "hmm", turned his head when he reached the door, and looked at Qiao Anming: "That...Mr. ,so…"

Qiao An clearly understood what he meant, nodded, and replied with certainty: "It's okay, I will take care of Du Ruo, you can go, besides, if you have any requirements, just ask."

Du Liangxing bowed his head and replied, "Thank you!"

As soon as Du Liangxing left, the hall, which was finally a little angry, became dull again.

Qiao Anming opened the food box, glanced at the greasy egg fried rice, put it directly on the table, then bowed down, and asked Du Ruo gently: "Is there no appetite? But I have to eat something, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy you..."

"..." There was no sound, only air answered him.

Qiao Anming didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Drinking porridge for many days, are you tired? How about I buy you some noodles? Seafood noodles? I remember that there is a noodle restaurant at the intersection that looks good..."

There was still no sound, but she finally turned her head and looked at Qiao Anming calmly, her eyes were deep, like a well where no waves could be seen.

Qiao Anming felt a little chilled by her look, so he could only ask again: "What's wrong? Looking at me like this..."

But she frowned, and said without warning: "Qiao Anming, when do you plan to stay?"

"Go? Where to go?"

"What do you think? This is not the place for you to stay..."

He understood, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only hold his breath: "Whenever you come back to Tongcheng with me, I will leave!"

"Is this interesting? You're so shameless, this doesn't look like you anymore..." Du Ruo gritted her teeth tightly, what should she do?She knew that it was impossible for him to let go so easily, but she also had no way to go on with him...

She didn't have the courage to continue with the struggle that was exchanged for the life of a loved one.

"You go, don't stay here anymore, my mother is dead, you should understand, the last thing I want to see now is you!"

"I know you're sad, but things are already like this, it's useless for you to escape, Du Ruo, you have to try to go out, if you don't want to go back to Tongcheng for the time being, then I will stay with you in Xuancheng for a while, or I Take you out for a walk? This season, Northern Europe is a good choice, the weather is not hot, I have old friends in Finland, why not go there?"

Qiao Anming talked a lot in one breath, his tone soft as if he was begging, but Du Ruo still looked at him with those unwavering eyes, he swallowed, and continued: "Do you want to go abroad? Trekking is indeed too tiring, so let’s do it domestically, is there any place in China you want to go to?”

……

Qiao Anming spoke in a hurry, and bent down, almost leaning in front of Du Ruo... He is rarely willing to speak with such a soft tone, but recently he has become more and more unconfident in front of Du Ruo, always feeling that he owes too much , distressed and reluctant, eager to make up.

But the person in front of her didn't appreciate it at all. She was full of hatred and self-blame, how could she accept his compensation, besides, such a deep wound could not be healed well.

"Qiao Anming, I beg you, let's go..." Du Ruo turned her head, her whole pale face was facing Qiao Anming.

"I won't leave unless you come back to Tongcheng with me!" His attitude was also very firm, he spared no effort in stalemate, he wanted to say something, but someone pulled his shoulder...

"Why are you so stubborn, she has already started to drive you away! Some things should be done in moderation!" It was Mo Youting who spoke, poking at Qiao Anming viciously.

Qiao Anming smiled bitterly: "This is about me and Du Ruo, what does it have to do with you?"

"It didn't matter before, but now you have made her like this, you can see for yourself, what does she look like now?" Mo Youting pointed at Du Ruo who could almost be blown down by a gust of wind, feeling distressed.

Qiao Anming was also helpless. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't find any words. The two men stood facing each other in the hall. Du Ruo felt that his face was hideous, and he turned his head and pointed in the direction of the door: "Go! Go!"

"Du Ruo..." Mo Youting was unwilling and worried about her.

But Du Ruo pushed Mo Youting violently: "Let's go!"

"I won't go, how can I go with you like this!"

Qiao Anming couldn't see it either, and tried to support her crumbling body, but Du Ruo looked up and glanced coldly, with a cold look in her eyes, and slammed at Qiao Anming word by word: "You go too, hurry up, the last thing I want to do now It's you I'm seeing!"

"Did you hear that? Let's go, she doesn't want to see you." Mo Youting approached Du Ruo angrily, Qiao Anming was pushed back by him and staggered a few steps back, stood still, and wanted to say something, but Du Ruo obviously didn't Give him a chance, still pointing to the door.

"Go away, can you? I beg you!" Du Ruo roared softly, his voice was not high, but his whole body was trembling when he said it.

After a funeral, her emotions had been suppressed to the point of exploding. Qiao Anming's existence was the tipping point of all her emotions. He understood his situation, and knew that the woman in front of him would collapse if he stayed any longer, so even if he was desperate and helpless , Qiao Anming still lowered his head slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go. I'll be staying in a nearby hotel for a few days. If you have anything to do, call me."

Du Ruo didn't speak, but bit his lip tightly.

Mo Youting quickly lost his patience and chased him away: "Hurry up and go back to your Chongzhou!"

Qiao Anming seemed to take a deep breath, looked at Mo Youting, and said in a rare soft tone: "Take care of her, she has been very unstable these days, thank you!"

After Qiao Anming finished speaking, he glanced at Du Ruo, who was still unwilling to look up, and wanted to say something more, but his words became weak and pale at this moment, and he finally just squeezed his fists, turned and walked out of the courtyard gate.

The old locust tree outside the courtyard gate was still rustling by the wind, and Qiao Anming's tall figure was a little hunched over the past few days, slightly bent, and he left the room step by step.

Du Ruo held his breath, didn't look up, didn't dare to look at the back of his leaving, only heard the sound of "squeak" pushing the door, he left, went out, the low footsteps mixed with the cicadas on the locust tree Sound, a little bit out of her life.

Du Ruo's footsteps swayed, tears finally hit the ground, he took a deep breath, and barely stopped by supporting the edge of the table with his hands.

Mo Youting watched her struggling alone on the spot, standing still, collapsing, not daring to make a sound, he couldn't fight this battle for her, she had to get through it by herself.

After a long time, Du Ruo let go of the arm supporting the edge of the table, barely raised his head, and there was no one in the yard, only the shade of the trees swayed with a halo.

She moved her lips and asked, "Going away?"

"gone."

After finally leaving, Du Ruo smiled, as if he was relieved, followed by tears, more and more fierce tears, squatting down on the table and crying until he couldn't breathe.

Gu Lan insisted on leaving the hospital. Although her body hadn't recovered, she didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer.

Reporters ambushed at the door of the ward every day, taking every opportunity and method to take pictures of her weak and emaciated lying on the bed, and the nurses and doctors in the hospital looked at her with strange sympathy every time they saw her. She was sick in the hospital, but her husband was with his mistress in other cities. Even the Internet and magazines were full of photos of Qiao Anming taking care of Du Ruo in Xuancheng during this time. To be discharged.

After arguing in the ward for a long time, Aunt Qin couldn't persuade her, so she called Dr. Qin, and Dr. Qin couldn't persuade him either. She knew that this charming lady seemed weak, but once she got into trouble, Aunt Qin had no choice but to Call Ren Peiyin for help.

When Ren Peiyin called Qiao Anming, he was resting in the hotel, lying on the bed alone looking at the chandelier above his head, thinking about the future between him and Du Ruo, when the old lady called.

"An Ming, are you still in Xuancheng? Gu Lan is arguing to be discharged from the hospital, do you really intend to ignore Gu Lan's life or death?"

Qiao Anming has been under as much pressure as anyone these days. Public opinion, condemnation, morality, and responsibility. He seems to have pushed himself into a crack. It is wrong anyway, so he simply ignored it and replied directly: "If she wants to be discharged from the hospital Just follow her."

"You bastard! One day husband and wife, Bai Rien, can she be discharged from the hospital now? She's talking angry. Recently, the newspapers are full of photos of you and that vixen in Xuancheng. You really..." Ren Peiyin said Then he raised his emotions again.

Qiao Anming half-lyed on the bed and didn't answer the conversation. Anyway, the matter had reached this point, and he felt that there would be no worse situation.

Ren Peiyin heard that the other end remained silent, and gave another ultimatum: "Hurry up and come back to me, and coax her well. They have been married for more than 20 years, what are you messing about?"

Qiao Anming's head was a little swollen, and he rubbed his forehead with his fingers: "Give me a few more days, I will take Du Ruo back, and then go through the divorce procedures with Gu Lan!"

"What? Say it again?" Ren Peiyin's voice was a little hoarse. She thought that Qiao Anming should meet with Qiao Anming and accept it after the incident, but why did he still insist on divorce?
"Okay, your wife is gone. Does that mean you don't even want me as a mother? Are you trying to piss me off? Are you really planning to divorce?" Ren Peiyin became more and more anxious as she spoke, and she gradually started crying.

Qiao Anming felt that the headache was getting worse, so he didn't rub his fingers anymore, got up and replied: "Mom, the fate between me and Gu Lan is over, you should know what she did recently, she actually asked someone to secretly take pictures Send it to Du Ruo's house, Du Ruo's mother had a car accident because of this incident, a life, I owe her too much, and I can't pay it off."

A dense sense of powerlessness emerged spontaneously, but Ren Peiyin couldn't hear the tiredness in his words, and insisted blindly: "It deserves it! She deserves it! Seduce other people's husbands, destroy other people's families, Gu Lan did a good job Wrong, besides, her mother's car accident was not caused by Gu Lan, so don't label Gu Lan indiscriminately, come back to me quickly!"

Qiao Anming felt that the atmosphere was oppressive, so he didn't want to talk anymore, so he directly called Ren Peiyin!
Just let him go his own way once, let him be so crazy and stubborn once, he doesn't want to care about anything, the public opinion has scolded Du Ruo so badly, how can he abandon her after suffering so much while pregnant with her child? she go back?
But Ren Peiyin didn't swallow her breath, and called Qiao Anming again, but he didn't answer, and when she called again, he turned off the phone directly!

Niezi, Niezi!Ren Peiyin stood shivering in the corridor of the hospital holding her mobile phone, her chest felt hot, and a sour smell came out of her heart directly...

Qiao Anming slept the deepest sleep during that time. She had been taking care of Du Ruo in the hospital for the past few days, and then arranged for the funeral, so she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't wake up until the next morning.

The phone was turned off overnight and turned on. There were all missed calls from Chongzhou, and the number with the most number was Peng Yuchu.

Qiao Anming thought it was a matter of work, so he was the first to call Peng Yuchu back.

"Yu Chu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Qiao, you finally turned on the machine, something happened to the old lady..."

Du Ruo slept until the afternoon and didn't get up. When he woke up, he felt weak all over. During this time, his nerves had been tense, but now he suddenly relaxed, feeling empty and exhausted all over his body.

After opening the door and going out, Mo Youting was sitting in the hall, there was food on the Eight Immortals table, and he was sitting there smoking a cigarette.

Du Ruo walked over to support the edge of the table, puffed out his stomach, and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Don't worry about you, I won't leave even if you drive me away." Mo Youting smiled, and took another puff of cigarette. The smoke was a bit choking. Stuff out the cigarette: "I'm sorry, I won't smoke in front of you in the future."

Du Ruo shook her head, she didn't care, she didn't care about anything now, she just walked over and sat on the chair next to him, Mo Youting saw that her complexion had recovered a bit, knowing that she slept well last night.

"Your spirit is much better. You have slept for 12 hours. Are you hungry? Eat something." Mo Youting pointed to the food on the table, "Your father just came back from the hospital and packed some things. , if you don’t like to eat, I’ll take you out to eat again.”

"No need, I can't eat it." Du Ruo glanced at the food on the table, she really couldn't eat it.

Mo Youting didn't allow it, and took a bowl of soup and moved it over: "You have to eat as much as you want, I see that you have lost a lot of weight, even if you lose your appetite, you still have to worry about the baby in your stomach."

As soon as "children" were mentioned, Du Ruo's mind softened, and he actually took the soup and drank it.

Mo Youting felt uncomfortable in his heart, he understood that Du Ruo is like a hollowed out body, fragile and sensitive, the only one who can comfort her, maybe only the "child".

The courtyard is still stuffy, the air in midsummer is very humid and greasy, and the hot wind passes through the hall, leaving only the sound of Du Ruo drinking soup...

Mo Youting looked at her eating with her head down, thought twice, and finally said: "Your cell phone has been ringing all morning, it's Qiao Anming's call."

Du Ruo raised his face, his eyes were bright, but soon faded away. He took a look at the mobile phone on the table, and it turned out that they were all Qiao Anming's missed calls. The most recent one was about an hour ago.

Open the text message inbox, and there is an unread message just sent by Qiao Anming: "Du Ruo, my mother is hospitalized, I have to go back to Chongzhou first, keep in touch!"

The words are concise, in line with Qiao Anming's usual style.

He downplayed it, and only said that Ren Peiyin was "hospitalized". This text message was sent after he landed at Chongzhou Airport. Peng Yuchu and Xiao Zhang were already waiting at the gate of the terminal.

Xiao Zhang drove, and Peng Yuchu briefly explained Ren Peiyin's condition all the way: "Mr. Qiao, the old lady suddenly vomited blood and fainted in the hospital last night. She was pushed into the emergency room. The initial diagnosis was caused by liver depression. The doctor on duty has already performed first aid measures. Now The old lady is in the ICU and had a comprehensive examination in the morning, but the results have not yet come out."

Qiao Anming kept holding his forehead with his fingers, and looked out the window with cold eyes. The gloomy big tree was dazzling green under the sunlight. He felt that his eyelids were sleepy, so he half-closed his eyes.

Xiao Zhang has been observing Qiao Anming's expression all the way. When Peng Yuchu carefully explained the old lady's condition, Qiao Anming showed this look, and it has been like this all the way since then, without any change.

Qiao Anming already guessed the reason why Ren Peiyin fainted, maybe he was angry because of the phone call he hung up yesterday.

The old lady fainted in the hospital where Gu Lan lived, so Qiao Anming went directly to that hospital from the airport. The old lady was already awake, and she had just been transferred from the ICU to the general ward, and Chen Ma was waiting for her to wash her face.

Peng Yuchu and Xiao Zhang didn't follow them upstairs, they sat in the car and waited. Qiao Anming went upstairs alone, stood at the door of the ward and waited for a while, just in time to hear the conversation between Ren Peiyin and Chen Ma.

"Does it look like I'm seriously ill? Will An Ming soften his heart when he sees it?"

"Madam..." Chen Ma shouted, and began to persuade: "You really shouldn't pretend to be sick this time to trick your husband back. It's okay if he doesn't know. If he finds out, he will hate you!"

"Remember the grudge? Just remember the grudge. I really can't think of any other way. He has been staying in Xuancheng, and pictures of the vixen and him are everywhere. Where can I put my old face? Besides, he insists on going with Gu Lan. Divorce, the family business he has worked hard for for more than 20 years, he said he would give it away, he doesn't feel bad, I feel bad for him!"

Ren Peiyin was filled with righteous indignation, but because she was still a little weak, she coughed a few times. Chen Ma seemed to pat her on the back, and persuaded: "Don't always be arrogant, sir, you have your own difficulties. , Besides, you really vomited blood, you are not in good health, what should you do if you are really sick later?"

"No, I know my body well. I was pissed off by his phone call yesterday. I don't get sick that easily. I still have to wait for the vixen's child to be born. That's my grandson..."

……

Hearing the rustling sound in the ward, Qiao Anming closed his eyes, stood at the door and suddenly didn't want to go in.

Soon there were slight footsteps behind him, and Gu Lan's voice was false: "Since you're back, why don't you go in?"

Qiao Anming turned around, and Aunt Qin stood behind Gu Lan with her support. He was stunned for a moment, and finally pushed open the door to go in. When Ren Peiyin saw Qiao Anming, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, but soon her eyes were moist, a little Stubbornly turning over and ignoring him.

Old kid, Ren Peiyin has lived to that age, and she does act a little like a child in some ways.

Qiao Anming knew that she was acting, and he was willing to cooperate. He routinely asked Chen Ma about Ren Peiyin's condition, and Chen Ma answered honestly.

Ren Peiyin, who had been turning her back on Qiao Anming, couldn't hold back her anger. She got up and yelled: "What are you asking? Just piss me off, and you won't have to treat me. I'll be pissed off by you sooner or later anyway!"

Gu Lan couldn't help admiring the old lady's good acting skills when she was beside her, but Qiao Anming didn't answer directly. She just asked Chen Ma: "Have you done all the inspections? When will the results be out?"

"Everything that should be done has been done, and the doctor said that the results will be available tomorrow."

"Okay, the result will be available tomorrow." Qiao Anming finally looked up at Ren Peiyin who was lying on the bed meaningfully, and repeated: "The result will be available tomorrow, and what the doctor will say when the time comes." Then he turned around without looking back Leave the ward.

It was only a few minutes before and after, it didn't look like a son came to visit a doctor!Ren Peiyin was so angry that her hands were shaking, she pointed at the back of Qiao Anming leaving at the door and cursed: "I have no conscience, I am really mad at me! My soul was taken away by that little goblin!"

Gu Lan couldn't help falling backwards, but fortunately she was supported by Aunt Qin!
In fact, she could also see that the old lady was pretending to be sick, what kind of anger and blood attack her heart, even if she really vomited blood, she would still be angry, and she would need to be admitted to the ICU!

The old lady's purpose was very clear, she just wanted to trick Qiao Anming back, she just wanted to hold him back with family affection, but in the end he came back, but her heart didn't come back.

The old lady was right, her soul was taken away by that little goblin, 20 years of husband and wife love, 45 years of nurturing family relationship, he didn't want it.

Gu Lan smiled, glanced at Aunt Qin, and tears fell: "He is back, but his heart is gone."

Qiao Anming didn't stay in the hospital at night. There were a lot of nurses and servants in the hospital serving the old lady and Gu Lan. He didn't need to stay, nor did he want to stay.

I went home alone, the house was deserted, Gu Lan had been in the hospital for a while, so there were only a few servants in the house who didn't care, the natural environment was not good, even the bunch of lilies on the fireplace were gone, you could tell at a glance that it was gone It hasn't been changed for many days.

In the past, Gu Lan had to change fresh flowers every day at home.

Qiao Anming unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, walked over and threw the bunch of withered lilies into the trash can, walked around the empty room, and finally found that there was nothing to do, so he went to work in the study on the second floor.

It is said that Qiao Anming has boundless scenery and power in his hands, but until this day he knows that life is so barren, there are too many helpless things he can't control, his mother pretends to be sick to lie to him, his wife takes pictures to expose his privacy, well, he knows all these things Because after all, it was he who made the mistake first, but even Du Ruo didn't understand him.

He has been calling and texting Du Ruo since he left Xuancheng, but she hasn't replied.

He had already put aside everything and insisted on being with her under such great pressure, why couldn't she think for him from his perspective?
Qiao Anming once said to Du Ruo: "I'm not a god, and sometimes I'm tired!"

Yes, he also gets tired sometimes, so now he is willing to immerse himself in his work and not think about these difficult things.

Gu Lan started to make trouble again the next day, wanting to be discharged from the hospital. Dr. Qin called Qiao Anming, who happened to arrive at the company at that time.

It's been a long time since he came to the office, and he has a mountain of work. Although he has already planned to sell the company's equity, as long as he is still sitting in this position, he still has to work hard.

When Dr. Qin called, he had just finished processing a round of emails.

"Hello, Doctor Qin, so early?"

"Mr. Qiao, I'm not early. I'm a doctor and I'm going to visit the ward. It's you, it seems like you've been up for a long time."

Qiao Anming smiled, didn't answer, and cut to the point: "What's the matter?"

"Gu Lan is going to be discharged from the hospital, I can't persuade you, why don't you come and persuade me."

Qiao Anming paused, he didn't want to persuade, and he didn't know how to persuade her. After so many years, her patience and perseverance have been worn out by her.

Doctor Qin also knew about the recent affairs of the two of them, so he said: "Mr. Qiao, I have watched you treat her a little bit over the years. Gu Lan is sometimes a bit willful, but to be honest, she has been pretty good these days. If it’s difficult, you’d better come to persuade me.”

"I don't want to persuade her anymore. Is she fit to be discharged from the hospital in her current situation?"

"It's not that you can't be discharged from the hospital. It's the same at home. Anyway, your family has all kinds of first aid equipment, but..."

"Then let her be discharged from the hospital." Qiao Anming replied simply.

He was too tired and didn't want to take responsibility for anyone anymore.

"Doctor Qin, you just said that you have been Gu Lan's family doctor for more than ten years. You should know her situation very well. She has a heart attack since she was a child, and she is very weak. She goes to the emergency room again and again in the middle of the night, breathing The machine, I resorted to violence time and time again to pull her back from the gate of hell..."

When Qiao Anming said this, his tone was a bit sad. It was the first time Dr. Qin heard Qiao Anming speak like this, and he didn't dare to vent his anger.

After a long time, the man on the other end finished speaking in a low voice: "If she can't be responsible for her own body, no matter how much I do, it's useless, right?"

Doctor Qin held the phone tightly, stood in the corridor of the ward, looked at Gu Lan who was still arguing in the ward, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the man on the other end of the phone.

Turning your hands into clouds, turning your hands into rain, that's a joke!In real life, there is too much helplessness and powerlessness. Even if Qiao Anming is wealthy, in the end, the whole world is against him.

Doctor Qin withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay, Mr. Qiao, I will arrange for someone to go and discharge Gu Lan from the hospital."

Qiao Anming hung up the phone, not wanting to work anymore, closed the computer, and found Du Ruo's number.

She still didn't leave a message or message, and all the calls he made went to nothing. How could she be so cruel?

"Du Ruo... can you give me a call." He sent this text message, but there was still no response. Not reconciled, he called again, endlessly beeping, as if there would never be anyone on the other end catch.

He had no choice but to send text messages patiently.

"Du Ruo, can you call me back, I just want to hear your voice..." He typed out a short sentence on the screen word by word, and finally pressed the "Send" button, and waited. After a long time, I still couldn't wait for the answer. When I called again, the phone on the other end was already turned off.
