obsessed with love

Chapter 218
Qiao Anming stayed at the company until noon and didn't eat lunch. The secretary carefully ordered takeaway for him, and when he brought it to the office, he found him resting on the leather chair with his eyes slightly closed, probably asleep.

The blinds at the back are still not opened, the light in the room is a little dark, and the air conditioner is fully turned on, but the hot summer sun is still trying to get in through the gap, and just one beam is refracted under his eyebrows, casting a shadow, but It made his whole face look tired.

In the eyes of the secretary, Qiao Anming has always been energetic. Even if he holds meetings for several hours and travels non-stop to see clients, he can still think clearly and his face is not tired. However, Qiao Anming, curled up in the leather chair like this, suddenly reminds the secretary The word "old" was dropped.

What is old is not his face and body, but the tired feeling of sitting with the backlight, feeling weak all over his body, like a beast that has been fighting for too long, has lost all its wings, and can't sleep in a corner.

Recently, the Internet and the media are full of pornographic news about this influential man. His wife was admitted to the hospital and his mistress was pregnant. He was driven to a corner by the world and public opinion. leave.

Qiao Anming fell into a deep sleep that night, as if in a dream, but couldn't remember what he had done, and was finally awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone on the table.

"Mr. Qiao, can you come to the hospital? The old lady's examination report is out." Peng Yuchu's voice showed a trace of anxiety.

There seems to be a book that said before: God is fair, if you take something from someone else, you will return it with yours!
Qiao Anming held the final examination report of the hospital in his hand, and the doctor in charge explained: "X-ray barium examination shows a round filling defect with neat edges in the stomach, and there are ulcers in the stomach, and niches can be seen, so..."

The doctor didn't dare to continue talking after he said this, and looked up to pay attention to Qiao Anming's expression.

Qiao Anming's face was very cold, ordinary people may not be able to understand what the doctor said, but he has sold medicines for so many years and has mastered 80% of medical knowledge, so he naturally understood what the doctor meant, but he didn't believe it and looked up at the doctor: "So What?"

"So..." After being rushed by Qiao Anming, the attending physician didn't dare to continue talking, and said with a smile: "However, I haven't had a gastroscopy yet, and I need to have a gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Mr. Qiao, you Do you want to arrange a gastroscopy for the old lady in the afternoon?"

"No need!" After speaking, Qiao Anming turned around and recruited Peng Yuchu: "Go and arrange for a transfer to Chongzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Now the hospital where Ren Peiyin lives is relatively authoritative in the Department of Cardiology, but the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is good at Internal Medicine!

Peng Yuchu took orders to make arrangements, and soon the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine sent a car to pick it up. Qiao Anming's mother was going to be transferred to another hospital. It was a big deal, and the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine sent the director of internal medicine directly to accompany the car.

Ren Peiyin was just neglected by Qiao Anming yesterday, and today she was transferred to another hospital surrounded by a group of people.

There was no overnight feud between mother and son. She thought it was Qiao Anming who had introspected herself, so she had to make a big move to transfer her to another hospital. However, after a gastroscopy and a round of routine examinations, the diagnosis can basically be confirmed.

Stomach tumors, polypoid aneurysms can be seen under the gastroscope in a spherical shape, which is what we usually call gastric cancer.

Qiao Anming held a stack of large and small inspection reports in his hand, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to face it.

Peng Yuchu went to communicate with the doctor, and when he returned to the ward, he saw Qiao Anming sitting in the corridor, his long legs slightly bent, his hands folded to support his forehead, and the report was held in his hands like that.

At that time, it was approaching dusk, and the corridors of the inpatient department gradually became more and more people, because the family members began to deliver dinner, Peng Yuchu sighed deeply, walked over and said: "Mr. Qiao, everything has been arranged. The operation is scheduled for a week later, and the hospital will contact experts to come over." .”

Qiao Anming let out a "hmm" in his throat, which was regarded as a response.

Peng Yuchu didn't dare to say more, and only tried to persuade him indifferently: "You don't need to worry too much. The doctor said that the old lady's tumor has not deteriorated. In the medium term, the possibility of surgery is very high."

Qiao Anming still gave an "um", in fact, if it wasn't for basic etiquette, he probably wouldn't even want to "um".

Seeing that he was not in the mood at the beginning, Peng Yuchu didn't say anything. He just advised him: "Go out and eat something, and then I'll ask Xiao Zhang to take you back. I'll take care of you at the hospital. My wife just got out of the hospital in the morning and is at home alone. You Still have to go back and see."

Qiao Anming finally raised his head when he heard this, his dark eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, he was hit one after another recently, as if a devil was fighting him, and for the first time he felt that he was going to be unable to hold on, so he just nodded slightly: " Okay, I'll come over tomorrow morning, don't tell her about the surgery and condition, I'll tell her myself tomorrow."

After Qiao Anming finished speaking, he stood up. Perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, he staggered a little. After standing still, he felt a little worried. He turned around and said, "Call if you have something to do, remember not to tell her about your illness."

"Okay, remember." Peng Yuchu's voice was a little muffled, because Qiao Anming that day really made people feel sympathetic.

On the way back, Xiao Zhang drove very quietly.

Qiao Anming kept sitting upright, with his eyes closed, his mind was filled with many things, but he had no clue at all. He just thought about it all the way, and the car stopped.

Xiao Zhang turned his head and said cautiously, "Mr. Qiao, we're here."

"Are you there?" He opened his eyes, it was very dark outside the window, there was a streetlight next to the iron gate of Qiao's villa, and the concierge had already stood at the door waiting when he saw his car coming.

"Yes, it's here." He murmured again to himself, but sat still. He didn't move, and Xiao Zhang didn't dare to drive again.

"It's too fast, let's go out and circle around again." Qiao Anming sat for a few seconds, gave orders, and continued to lean back on the chair and close his eyes.

In fact, Xiao Zhang can understand his mood very well. When he goes back to the empty villa, Gu Lan lives in it. Everyone knows what he will face when he goes back. It is nothing more than Gu Lan’s tears and condemnation. Now the old lady is living in the hospital again, suffering from stomach cancer. , facing the operation, I don't know if he can pass the test smoothly, how can Qiao Anming have the strength to deal with Gu Lan.

So Xiao Zhang responded, turned the car around the door again, and drove up the elevated road all the way.

Du Ruo has been persuading Mo Youting to leave, but he is so shameless that he doesn't want to go back to Tongcheng, what's more, he doesn't go to the hotel to stay in a room, and sleeps on the bench in the outer hall of Du Ruo's house at night.

Fortunately, in summer, I am not afraid of freezing, but it is very hot and there is no air conditioner. After sleeping for two nights, Young Master Mo was covered in prickly heat. When Qiao Anming called, Du Ruo was applying prickly heat powder to Young Master Mo.

She held the powder puff in one hand, and took the phone in the other: "Hello, who is it?"

Qiao Anming was stunned for a moment when he heard the crisp voice from the other end. He was about to speak, but he heard Mo Youting's voice from the other side: "Hurry up and wipe me, it's so itchy."

"Wait, I'm wiping, you lift up your clothes a little more!" Du Ruo muttered again while holding the phone, Qiao Anming felt the fishy smell coming out of his chest, felt nauseated, and pressed the phone directly.

what are they doing?Qiao Anming collapsed on the back of the chair weakly, and returned the mobile phone to Xiao Zhang. He deliberately borrowed Xiao Zhang's mobile phone to call, because he knew that Du Ruo was deliberately avoiding him, but...he wished he had never made this call.

Du Ruokong grabbed the phone for a while, Mo Youting turned back and patted her hand: "What are you doing, wipe it off!" But she threw the powder puff into Mo Youting's hand: "Wipe it yourself, and go to bed early after wiping it off!" !"

When Qiao Anming returned home that night, it was close to early morning, and Gu Lan was already asleep, because he found that the lights in the bedroom had been turned off, so he didn't go in, and slept in the guest bedroom all night, after all, he didn't sleep well, and went to the hospital early the next morning.

Before Ren Peiyin woke up, Chen's mother went downstairs to buy her breakfast, and Qiao Anming sat by the bed and waited. The waiting process was a bit tormented. He was thinking of how to tell Ren Peiyin the truth without being so cruel.

After sitting for about half an hour, Ren Peiyin woke up and was very surprised to see Qiao Anming.

"An Ming, why did you come here so early?"

Qiao Anming rubbed his sore eyes, leaned over to support the edge of the bed, shook the bed board, and shouted: "Mom..."

That "Mom" yelled Ren Peiyin's bones. Qiao Anming was usually a little cold towards her, calling her mom like that for no reason. There was something wrong.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Qiao Anming paused, and managed to hold up a smile: "It's okay, but the inspection report came out, you have a tumor in your stomach, it's benign, in the middle stage, not serious, but it's going to be a minor operation, and there's basically no risk in the operation, but I It is necessary to tell you."

Qiao Anming spoke very full, fearing that his unsteady tone would make Ren Peiyin see his flaws.

What is benign? If it is benign, there is no need for surgery. He still remembers the original words of the doctor at that time: "Although Mrs. Qiao's tumor was discovered early, it is malignant and has reached the middle stage. Resection must be carried out immediately. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome after spreading.”

So in the end Qiao Anming lied, and after he finished speaking, he just looked at Ren Peiyin, and Ren Peiyin looked at him in a daze, and finally laughed out loud: "Tumor? An Ming, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I I wanted to trick you back from that vixen, so I colluded with the doctor and deliberately asked him to make my illness more serious. In fact, there is nothing wrong with me at all, but you are angry. I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. How is it possible? What about surgery?"

Ren Peiyin was still trying to explain, Qiao Anming looked at her smiling and felt even more uncomfortable.

He suddenly really wanted her to be pretending to be sick, but the truth is not.

"Mom, listen to me, the tumor is real, and all the inspection reports have come out."

"What?" Ren Peiyin still didn't believe it. She felt that she was in good shape. Why did she have a tumor in her stomach for no reason, "Impossible! I want to see a doctor."

"You don't need to see a doctor. The doctor can't joke about this kind of thing. Besides, I can understand everything in the report." Qiao Anming forced himself to calm down, and woke up Ren Peiyin a little bit: "So listen to me, I really need surgery. , the operation has been arranged, and a week later, an expert will come to perform the operation."

……

Ren Peiyin really made a fuss that day. She pretended to be sick and moved in, but now she suddenly announced that she was going to the operating room. No one could figure it out.

Qiao Anming didn't persuade her either, and let her cry on the bed. In the end, Mama Chen came in and asked why, and wiped her tears too.

During that time, he felt that he was soaked in tears all the time, Du Ruo was crying, Gu Lan was crying, Ren Peiyin was crying, even the servants at home were crying, it seemed that the world was in chaos, and he was the only one left awake.

He really hated himself for being so sober, because sober people have to clean up the mess alone.

After a whole morning, Ren Peiyin stopped crying. Qiao Anming finally felt relieved, but she wanted to negotiate terms with him. She pretended to be sick before to negotiate terms with him, but now that she is really sick, it is still a fatal illness. I am qualified to negotiate terms with him.

The escort and Chen's mother in the ward were sent away, leaving only the mother and child.

Ren Peiyin was also stubborn, and said straight to the point: "I can do the surgery, but I'm not allowed to divorce Gu Lan, and I'm not allowed to give up Sheng'an."

Qiao Anming nodded and said, "Okay!"

This is his tactic to delay the attack. He just wants to appease the old lady's emotions.

Ren Peiyin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "You are not allowed to see that woman again. I will let Yu Chu handle the matter of the child. She must be born. After she is born, she will be named Qiao. Take it back to Gu Lan."

"Impossible!" Qiao Anming didn't expect Ren Peiyin to make such a request: "That's her child, mom, it's not fair to her!"

"Fair? What fairness does she want?" Ren Peiyin knew that Qiao Anming would not easily agree to such a harsh request, but she was willing to go all out: "Okay, if you want to give her fairness, what about me and Gu Lan? Who will give us fairness? Gu Lan I have been married to you for 20 years, and now you want to divorce her because of this woman, okay, she can bear it, I can't bear it! I have raised you for so many years, I have worked so hard, and in the end you sold my old face and gave up the family business With a little vixen, who will give me justice?"

He keeps saying that Ren Peiyin's every sentence is reasonable, nothing more than responsibility and filial piety!Qiao Anming was overwhelmed by the two mountains.

"I know my fault, and I should bear the consequences! It's impossible for me and Gu Lan to get into this kind of trouble. Divorce is a matter of time, but what I owe her has to be paid back, so I gave her all the shares. As for Du Ruo... ..."

When Qiao Anming mentioned this name, he suddenly couldn't continue to answer. Mou Ran thought about the phone call yesterday. She seemed to be recovering well in Xuancheng. Mo Youting was by her side, but she kept refusing to answer his call.

It felt like running a relay race. He was alone against the whole world and handed the baton to Du Ruo. Lost confidence.

So when it comes to Du Ruo at the end, Qiao Anming's confidence is not as strong as before, and he just said: "I don't know what will happen to Du Ruo and I in the future, but I can be sure that the child will definitely follow the mother. In order to keep the child, she After suffering a lot, that is her child, how could she give it up to Gu Lan!"

"Her child? That's the child of the Qiao family!" Ren Peiyin became angry when she heard that she couldn't win the child. She had been looking forward to it for so many years: "Anyway, I don't care, the child must be named Qiao, and the child must be raised in the Qiao family , Gu Lan must be the mother of the child, this cannot be changed!"

This is what she promised to Gu Lan, and she must do it, because this is the only way the old lady can think of to have the best of both worlds, which not only preserves Qiao Anming's marriage and power, but also keeps the child.

The last negotiation ended without a problem, Ren Peiyin refused to give in, and Qiao Anming refused to let go!The child is once again a knot.

The child who eventually became a "dead knot" was still lying in Du Ruo's womb at that time.

It should have been August at that time, and the night was sweltering to death. Du Ruo was 26 weeks pregnant, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, her uterus was pressing on her heart and lungs, and it was getting harder and harder to fall asleep. He stared blankly on the bed.

The cell phone next to the pillow hadn't rang since Qiao Anming called the night before. In fact, she guessed it was Qiao Anming when she hung up the phone, but she didn't reply in time.

Probably he was angry and misunderstood her and Mo Youting, but she didn't make any excuses, she just needed his misunderstanding, and only after he misunderstood could he stay away from her, but what should I do?She has read the text message that Qiao Anming sent many days ago countless times.

"Du Ruo, can you call me back, I just want to hear your voice..."

She really wanted to call Qiao Anming back, but the reality didn't allow it, they couldn't go wrong anymore, so Du Ruo could only silently read the text message over and over again, and finally the tears moistened her eyes and fell on the pillow drop by drop!
Du Ruo didn't sleep well during that time, so she woke up very early in the morning. It was only after six o'clock, and she opened the door to go out. Mo Youting was lying on the bench in the outer hall.

She couldn't remember how many nights Mo Youting had slept on the bench. She only knew that his walking posture during the day was a bit weird. It was probably because he had slept on the bench for a few days and his waist was broken. No wonder, he is a young man from a rich family. , Where did I suffer this kind of pain.

Du Ruo walked over with a wry smile, and found that Mo Youting seemed to be still soundly asleep, with his slender body bent slightly, lying sideways on the "small bed" made up of two benches. The pillow was Du Ruo's, and he had no pillow. He was hugged in his arms domineeringly like that, the T-shirt on his body was soaked with sweat, probably because of the heat, there were sweat stains on the back of his honey-white skin, the prickly heat was much better, some were scratched by him The place is scarred...

Du Ruo sniffed, suddenly feeling selfish.

In fact, Mo Youting has been here for the past few days, and her attitude towards him has not been good, a little cold, but no matter how hard she drives him back, he refuses to leave.

He said: "I have to watch you, you are like this, I don't feel relieved to leave you alone." When Mo Youting said this, there was a kind of stubborn childishness on his body.

Yes, he is really a child, one year younger than Du Ruo, and he is Du Ruo's younger brother, but now he insists on propping up his not-so-big wings to shield Du Ruo from the wind and rain, can he do it?
Du Ruo sniffed again, just as Mo Youting woke up, opened his eyes and saw the enlarged Du Ruo's face in front of him, he was so frightened that he rolled off the bench...

Du Ruo let out a "puchi" laugh: "What are you doing?"

"What should I ask you for? Standing in front of me so early in the morning scared me to death." Mo Youting tried to climb up with his back on his back, but he might have huddled on the bench all night, so his back was sore and his legs were numb, and he couldn't get up. Du Ruo had no choice but to help him up, his feet shook, and he grabbed Du Ruo and knelt down on the ground...

Touching at close range, Du Ruo's breath breathed on the corner of his lips little by little, Mo Youting felt his heart heat up, coupled with the stuffy weather, sweat came out on his forehead, and Du Ruo didn't dare to move anymore , let him hold the arm in his hand, just for a moment, get too close, and see themselves in each other's eyes.

"Have you ever cried?" In the end, Mo Youting spoke first, because he saw the bloodshot eyes in Du Ruo's eyes.

Du Ruo hurriedly turned his head away, shook his head: "No."

"Lie to me!" He pinched her hand again and forced her to turn her face away. Du Ruo couldn't stand it anymore and struggled to stand up: "No, let's go, I'm hungry, treat me to breakfast." So he walked out the door first, Mo Youting knelt on the ground for a while, and Baba chased after him.

The air in the summer morning is very good, wet and cool, and the morning breeze blows on the body is very comfortable.

Du Ruo's mood improved a lot, and the expression on his face was not as tense as it was a few days ago, Mo Youting could also see it, so he had fun with her, chasing Du Ruo out of the alley all the way, asking: "What do you want to eat? "

"Let's eat noodles. There is a very good noodle restaurant at the entrance of the alley. I used to eat there when I was young."

"Okay." Mo Youting replied briskly, and walked cheekily close to Du Ruo towards the entrance of the alley, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the noodle shop, he saw Du Ruo standing still, the whole portrait was frozen, staring at the noodle shop. Two people at the door.

It should be two women, one old and one young. The older one is supporting the younger one, and they seem to be asking for directions. Just when they looked up, they also saw Du Ruo not far away.

Among them, the younger one walked over first, greeted Du Ruo, and said very plainly: "Miss Du, what a coincidence."

Du Ruo's footsteps were a little unsteady, and he held his back, but did not answer.

Mo Youting asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

"I know, of course I know." Gu Lan replied with a smile, "Miss Du, do you have time? Let's chat."

"Okay." Du Ruo was still a little confused, but answered very simply, "Where are we talking? Or just this noodle restaurant, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Yes!" Gu Lan was still smiling, calm, but Aunt Qin next to her was a little worried about her, so she tugged at her sleeve and said, "Miss, I'll go in with you."

"No need, you stay at the door, or find a place to sit by yourself." Gu Lan broke away from Aunt Qin's hand.

Mo Youting felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. It was no wonder that he had never seen Gu Lan before. Perhaps his familiarity was limited to the photos published in a certain magazine or website before, but He always felt that the sick woman in front of him was not kind.

"Du Ruo, who is it, let me introduce you."

Du Ruo smiled wryly, how should she introduce Gu Lan?Rival?enemy?So she simply didn't say anything, and said perfunctorily: "You go back first, I'll go in and have a bowl of noodles, you wait for me at home."

Each sent away the people around him, and the negotiation between two women could not have others.

Du Ruo spoke first: "Go in, the noodles in this noodle shop are pretty good." Then he went in by himself, and Gu Lan stayed at the door, looking at her figure with a big belly, feeling very dazzling.

The woman in front of her is pregnant with her husband's child, and it is this woman and this child who are trying to fight for her favor and happiness!She doesn't allow it.

The small noodle shop was a little damp, and it was the peak breakfast time, so there were many people eating noodles, and the narrow and long shop seemed even more crowded. Finally, Du Ruo found a seat near the kitchen and sat down, before Gu Lan slowly walked in. Go and sit in front of her.

Normally, when the two met, they should be in a state of tension, but it was strange, as if each of them had a calm expression, like old friends who had known each other for a long time, making an appointment to chat in a noodle shop.

The proprietress of the noodle shop came over to greet her warmly: "Xiao Ruo, I haven't seen you here for a long time. Your belly is so big. How many months has it been? You are about to give birth."

Du Ruo also smiled and replied: "It's been more than 6 months, and the baby will be born before the end of the year."

"It was cold at that time, and confinement was more troublesome." The lady boss asked with a smile, "What kind of noodles?"

"Let's add an egg to the noodle soup." After Du Ruo finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Lan in front of him again, and asked, "What do you want?"

Gu Lan sneered: "No need!"

Du Ruo didn't force it, took out the disposable chopsticks, and said while waiting for the meal: "Tell me, you came all the way, what do you want to talk about?"

"Don't worry, I have a lot of time, you finish the noodles first, you can't starve the child in your stomach." Gu Lan smiled wetly, and glanced at Du Ruo's stomach again: "You seem to be thinner, You look thinner than in the previous photos, the child is so big, but you are so thin, not good!"

Du Ruo knew what she meant by the so-called "photo". It was nothing more than a photo that Gu Lan asked someone to secretly take of her and Qiao Anming living together in the villa.
Du Ruo calmed down and stabilized his emotions: "Can you be more refreshed? Gu Lan, it's not suitable for us to have casual conversations between us. What do you want to tell me?"

"What am I going to say, you don't know?"

"Clear." How could Du Ruo not be clear?
"It's nothing more than a matter of Qiao Anming and the child, but don't worry, my mother has passed away, can I still be sober? Qiao Anming and I will never see each other again, and I will raise the child by myself, and I will never be with you again." The Qiao family has something to do with it!"

Du Ruo became a little excited when she said that, but Gu Lan kept calm and shook her head slightly: "I don't believe it, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe An Ming. I know An Ming's temperament very well. Be strong, overbearing, You have to get what you want, he can file for divorce for you, and even drafted and signed the equity transfer letter, do you think he will let it go? What's more, you are pregnant with a child now!"

"So? What do you want from me?" Du Ruo felt confused, "I can't influence Qiao Anming's decision!"

"But you can make him change his decision!" Gu Lan replied quickly, her Cangmo eyes fixed on Du Ruo's face, "I know you definitely want us to divorce so that you can take over the position, but do you want to marry me?" However, how much have you paid for your unrecognizable relationship? Your mother got into a car accident because of it, and An Ming gave up Sheng’an because of you. Do you know what Sheng’an means to An Ming? ?”

"I know that Shengan was created by him, and he is a workaholic!"

"No, you only saw the current Shengan, this is the result, you didn't see the process."

Gu Lan took out something from her bag and threw it in front of Du Ruo: "I'll let you see the process today, the process of An Ming creating Sheng'an!"

In front of him is a thick photo album, which is a bit old and should have gone through many years.

Du Ruo opened it and flipped through it one by one, most of which were Qiao Anming's photos. From his childhood to his adulthood, Gu Lan gradually got involved.

"Did you see it? This is his past. You can read it from the fourth page. The photo on the top is the opening of his first pharmaceutical factory."

Du Ruo turned to the fourth page, and sure enough, he saw a very old photo. Qiao Anming and several young people of his age were standing in front of the pharmaceutical factory's label. Behind it was a half-old building with a large scale. Small and shabby, this is Shengan's first step.

"When he first established the pharmaceutical factory, there were only 3 people under his command, one for finance, one for marketing, and himself. He held several positions and took care of everything, running orders, production, packaging, and he even went to study legal affairs. , because he couldn't afford a lawyer."

Gu Lan's words were a little sad, and Du Ruo's heart sank even more.

The photo album was in her hand, allowing her to see Qiao Anming's past.

"I don't want to talk about the hardships of starting a business. You have been in the pharmaceutical industry for several years. You should know the way in it. It was difficult at the beginning. The government, hospitals, agents, all kinds of dirty business, An Ming is It came out little by little.”

While talking, Gu Lan paid attention to Du Ruo's expression.

There was something wet in Du Ruo's eyes, because she saw Qiao Anming's appearance when she was young, pointed to one of the photos, and asked Gu Lan: "He is so thin now, why is he so thin?"

Gu Lan glanced at the photo she was pointing at, and replied: "He seemed to be 27 years old when this photo was taken. He just had a serious illness with a perforated stomach. He stayed in the hospital for more than half a month and could only eat liquid food."

Gu Lan still feels a little sad when he thinks about that time: "He is 1.8 meters tall, and the illness made him lose weight to only 120 kilograms, and he was lying on the bed as thin as a layer of paper."

Gu Lan paused for a moment, seeing that Du Ruo hadn't spoken, he asked again: "Do you know why he got his stomach perforated? Because he had to drink all the year round to socialize. In fact, An Ming's capacity for alcohol is very good. He practiced it when he was young, but in the end he got drunk His stomach was perforated and he vomited blood, so he needed an operation. So when business got better, he stopped drinking because he had a shadow in his heart."

……

In the lengthy description that follows, Gu Lan restores to Du Ruo a little bit of Shengan's history.

It's not that Du Ruo doesn't understand that the magnificent Sheng'an Group in the eyes of outsiders actually started from a small workshop, and all the hardships and hardships accumulated day and night.

"Stop talking, I understand what you mean! It's just to persuade me not to go to Qiao Anming again." Du Ruo smiled desolately.

Gu Lan is actually very smart, she is sure that Du Ruo will soften his heart.

"Yes, don't go to him again, you will ruin him if you keep getting involved, if you really love him, leave!" Gu Lan deliberately spoke very slowly, like a good person who is persuasive and persuasive.

"Also, let me tell you another thing. An Ming's mother is hospitalized with stomach cancer and needs surgery, but because he is going to divorce me, his mother is now stalemate and refuses the surgery. The doctor said that the tumor will be very troublesome after it gets worse, so ..."

"So..." Du Ruo suddenly laughed, feeling that the things in this world are really ironic. Her mother just passed away, and Qiao Anming's mother was hospitalized again.

What was between them before was nothing more than responsibility and morality, but now there is an additional element of filial piety.

Qiao Anming, the whole world does not allow us to be together!
Du Ruo let out a sigh of relief, and answered Gu Lan after a moment of relief: "Don't worry, I will let him go back."

She promised that she would let him go back, return to the place where he should have been, and continue to be Qiao Anming, who was arrogant and in control of everything.

In the end, Gu Lan said a lot, but Du Ruo didn't remember much.

Before leaving, she asked for the photo of Qiao Anming's recovery from gastric perforation. Gu Lan was not stingy, and took it out of the album and gave it to her.

"Think about it yourself, so you can do it for yourself!" Gu Lan's tone was very upright, condescending.

Du Ruo didn't say another word, just took the photo, carefully put it in his pocket, and took a last look at Gu Lan in front of him.

Gu Lan still has short hair, her face is tired and weak, and she even looks a little old. Just such a woman, in order to prevent her child from being born, she was cruelly murdered, even Gu Lan was half responsible for her mother's death.

Logically, Du Ruo should hate her, but she couldn't hate her, she just raised her head slowly with her belly puffed out.

"Gu Lan, in fact, I never tried to take anything away from you. I will return Qiao Anming to you now. He will have nothing to do with me in the future. He is neither mine nor the child's. I just hope that you will have more Take care of him, he is actually exhausted by himself, if you can, think about it for him from his perspective, he is not a god!"

Gu Lan was taken aback for a moment, and felt for the first time that there was something on Du Ruo that frightened her.

In the past, Gu Lan never paid much attention to Du Ruo. She felt that Qiao Anming was attracted to her because of her face and body. She never felt that Du Ruo was her opponent. Even if Qiao Anming wanted to divorce her, even if Du Ruo Pregnant with the seed of the Qiao family, Gu Lan also felt that she still had a chance of winning.

But at that moment, when Du Ruo puffed out his stomach and said "he is not a god" word by word in that crowded small noodle restaurant, Gu Lan felt scared for the first time.

I was afraid that Qiao Anming was really in love with her.

There is a huge difference between being tempted and being emotional.

After Gu Lan left, the shop was still crowded.

The bowl of noodles in front of Du Ruo was already muddy.

But she took the chopsticks and started to eat, her tears fell into the noodle soup drop by drop, and she swallowed it bit by bit.

Qiao Anming once cooked a bowl of noodles for her, and it looked like this mess. At that time, the two had just started and their relationship was growing.

But now that everything is over, she let go, and wanted to force him to let go too.

Qiao Anming, I'm sorry!
When Du Ruo came home, Mo Youting was smoking. She walked into the room and began to pack her luggage without saying a word.

"What are you doing?"

"Go back to Tongcheng!"

"what?"

"Leave tomorrow, you go back with me!"

Ren Peiyin's operation was very successful, 1/3 of her stomach was removed, and Qiao Anming stayed with her all night in the ward.

Ren Peiyin woke up the next day and saw that his face was blue. She was a mother after all, so she felt sorry for her son, so she insisted on telling him to go back and rest.

In fact, Qiao Anming couldn't stand it any longer, so he called Xiao Zhang to drive. As soon as the car drove out of the hospital, Qiao Anming received a call from Du Ruo.

She said, "Old Joe, do you have time?"

Qiao Anming was shocked on the spot.

Although we haven't seen each other for a few days, it feels like it's been a long time since I heard her call him "Old Qiao" again for no reason, and I feel happy, so I hurriedly said, "I have time, what's the matter?"

"I'm back in Tongcheng. I want to see you. It's in the villa with the carousel. Is that okay?"

"Okay, I'll go there now!" Qiao Anming hung up the phone and told Xiao Zhang to turn around and drive on the high speed.
