obsessed with love

Chapter 233
Du Ruo had a sullen face at first, but now he started laughing, with his lips raised, and flipped through the real estate certificate.

The word "Du Ruo" is indeed on it.

When did Qiao Anming do the real estate transfer?
When did Qiao Anming start hitting on the child?
She originally thought that she knew everything, saw through everything, and took everything into consideration, but in the end, she became a complete fool.

"Too little..." she said quietly.

Peng Yuchu didn't understand at first.

"Miss Du, what do you mean?"

"I said, this compensation is too little... I have been with him for more than half a year, and I have been infamous. My mother died in a car accident because of my relationship with him. I also gave birth to a son for him. He wants to use it now." A mere house prevaricates me, why?"

Why?
Du Ruo's face was calm, but his hands kept pinching the curved handle of the glass, getting tighter and tighter.

Peng Yuchu didn't expect Du Ruo to say that, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon he showed an expression of "as expected".

"Miss Du, the matter between you and Mr. Qiao was a turmoil some time ago. I know something about it. As an outsider, I should not be able to say some things, but I have been with Mr. Qiao for nearly 20 years, so I know him well. He doesn't like to owe others, so he gave you a house with an eight-figure market value. You can go out and ask if this compensation is reasonable..."

Peng Yuchu is a businessman. Although he has a refined atmosphere, he cannot ignore the businessman's scheming skills when negotiating.

At the end, he added: "Miss Du, you should be a smart person. I think you should have known that Mrs. Qiao has no children so far before you contacted Mr. Qiao, so you gave birth to Mr. Qiao's son. A child is 1200 million yuan. , this number is not small.”

The implication is that Du Ruo's approach to Qiao Anming is deliberate. Her purpose is to ask for money. Now that her son is born, Qiao Anming has also made an offer. Why is she still being hypocritical?

In Peng Yuchu's eyes, and even in the eyes of all outsiders, Du Ruo is such a mistress who "plays a long line to catch big fish".

Du Ruo also knew for the first time that he was so smart in the eyes of outsiders.

Xiaosan can be regarded as "immeasurable merit" for doing her job.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Peng Yuchu thought it was her weighing things up, so he politely added some hot tea to her cup.

The fruit tea is served in a small transparent glass cup, and the colorful fruits rush from the bottom of the cup to the surface of the water because of the hot water.

There are limes, kumquats, and diced strawberries.

Each entangled and floated for a while, and then gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

Just like Du Ruo's current state of mind, there are so many thoughts, biting each other and devouring her heart, but she can't tell what mood she is in at the moment.

Anyway, it didn't hurt, and it didn't bother me too much. It was a bit weird.

"Miss Du, you can think about it first, I'll wait for your reply here." Peng Yuchu was determined that she would give up for the house.

Du Ruo didn't say anything, and took a sip of fruit tea.

The newly added water was a bit hot, she stuck out her tongue, but she felt that it was not enjoyable, her mouth was still dry and bitter, so she drank all the little left in the cup, and went to take the teapot warmed on the small stove to drink the cup. Fill it up and drink it up in one gulp.

She didn't know where she had so much patience that day.

According to her previous temper, she would have exploded long ago.

"Assistant Peng..." She changed her address, but still shouted respectfully: "I never thought that Qiao Anming would give me this house, and I don't know what he thinks, but I don't bother to care about these things, I am not blessed with a house." Take it, boy, he can't even think about it!"

It was difficult for Peng Yu to accept such an answer in the first day of junior high school.

After going around for a long time, this woman still doesn't let go?
"Miss Du, do you think the conditions are not suitable? If you think there is something that makes you dissatisfied, you can bring it up and we can discuss it!"

Look, this tone is just like talking about business.

"Sorry, the child is mine, 200 million, I admit it's a lot, but it's not enough for me!" Du Ruo said halfway, and took another sip of tea, "Go back and tell Qiao Anming, it's a little I don't care about money! I will never give it to my child."

"Then how much do you want, Ms. Du? You can bring it up. I drafted the agreement, and you can discuss everything." Attorney Yin was a little anxious. He had never seen such an insatiable woman.

Du Ruo's eyes turned directly to Lawyer Yin: "How much do I want? Qiao Anming has never been able to afford what I want!"

"Then what do you mean, you won't voluntarily give up the child's custody?" Lawyer Yin said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "I told you the pros and cons just now. If you go to court, your chances of winning are very small. Why do you have to do it so many times? What's more, I learned that you have remarried before, and the other party has a good family background, so why do you drag yourself down with a child?"

Be more considerate of her.

She was almost overwhelmed with gratitude.

"Thank you for reminding me, but I still say that, the child will not be given to Qiao Anming." Du Ruo was tired of repeating this meaning over and over again, so he stood up and looked at Peng Yuchu.

"Assistant Peng, I'd like to trouble you to make this trip. I've said everything I need to say. The child's problem has made Qiao Anming die!"

"Since Ms. Du said so...then I guess the next time we meet, we will only be in court!" Peng Yuchu also stood up, he never likes to waste words on things.

Du Ruo was stunned.

She knew that Qiao Anming said what he said, but she didn't expect Peng Yuchu to say it so bluntly.

"I know that I will definitely not win the lawsuit. You have put so much effort into me! But don't forget, I am the mother of the child. He should know how much I have experienced in the past nine months! So you just need to go back Tell me a word."

Du Ruo rested his hands on the agreement on the table, stretched his five fingers, and leaned forward with his upper body.

"Just tell him, if he insists on this child, unless I die!"

She spoke the last four words calmly, but Peng Yuchu saw perseverance in her eyes.

The kind of determination that can destroy everything, but also protect the child with one breath.

Peng Yuchu paused for a few seconds, Du Ruo had already turned and left.

There was still a garland of Christmas decorations on the glass door of the tea house, and she pushed the door violently, and the bells on the garland jingled.

"Welcome to come again next time." In a tea house where business is sluggish, there is an emcee standing at the door to greet and see off.

Du Ruo didn't make a sound, and walked out with her head buried. The wind hit her head-on, enveloping her body in an instant.

so cold...

The sky was full of morning glow just now, but now the night wind is howling.

It was dark, and the commuters on the road were wrapped in heavy clothes and rushed back. Du Ruo went in the opposite direction and bumped into several people along the way.

That bit of courage, that bit of arrogance just now is gone.

People are always like this. In times of extreme crisis, fear will suddenly hide. Because of the "survival instinct", all the power in the subconscious will be aroused, and vigorous fighting spirit will replace fear and cowardice.

But once the crisis dissipated, all kinds of mixed emotions emerged from all directions.

The heartache became more and more intense, and the tears came so ferociously that they almost fell in a continuous line and couldn't be stopped.

If Qiao Anming came to talk to her face to face, she would ask him: "What does that villa mean to him? Is it compensation or memory?"

Du Ruo thought about it all night and stayed up all night.

The next day, I stared at the red and swollen eye circles and started to pack up her luggage and supplies, and then talk to Auntie Ding.

In fact, Aunt Ding already wanted to leave. Qiao Anming signed a contract with her for 2 months.

The two months are about to expire, and she has no plans to stay, because of the burn, she has always had a knot in her heart.

"Miss Du, the first month's fee has already been settled with me from the agency, and the second month's fee will be refunded to you for half a month, because I am also responsible for the burn, so..."

"No, the burn is not your problem." Du Ruo pushed half a month's salary to Auntie Ding.

After playing around with hypocrisy, Aunt Ding finally accepted it.

"It's still young, where are you going to take her alone?"

"Going back to my hometown, my father and younger brother are both in my hometown. I want to go back to my hometown to live for a while, and I will come out to work when I am a little older."

"Well, it's good to go home, at least the family has someone to take care of you, have you bought the ticket?"

"I didn't buy it, so I have to trouble you to look at it for me tomorrow. I'll buy the ticket after breakfast tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem." Aunt Ding patted the back of Du Ruo's hand, and could not help but sigh: "I have been a confinement wife for so many years, and this is the first time I have met you like this. The gentleman who came to see you in the hospital before, It should be Lie's father, it seems that he loves you a lot, but he seems to have a wife, so..."

Aunt Ding stopped in the middle of speaking: "Forget it, forget it, this is your private matter, I, an outsider, won't interrupt, but it's not easy for you to raise a child by yourself, be mentally prepared, the pain is still to come..."

Du Ruo nodded and went back to the room to hug her.

It has been almost 2 months since I got it, and my sleep time has been significantly shortened, and I will probably wake up for several hours during the day.

Maybe the little guy also realized that he was going to leave, so his eyes were wide open, and he lay on the bed blinking and turning around.

Du Ruo picked him up, the little guy jumped up and down, and Yiyi slammed into her arms hard.

Full of milk fragrance, warm body temperature, chubby face pressed against Du Ruo's chest, this is the meat cut from her body.

If she wants to give the money to the Qiao family, how can she do it?
"Okay, let's go, shall we?"

The little guy couldn't understand, he just grinned silly, and the saliva was all on Du Ruo's chest.

Du Ruo lowered her head to kiss his forehead. The little thing probably didn't like it, so she moved around and rubbed on her face.

What a wonderful life, fragile and soft.

So at this time, how gentle the kiss she kissed was, how hard her heart must be!

Qiao Anming had another day of meetings, and took time to call Peng Yuchu before dinner.

"Yu Chu, working overtime today?"

"Yes, I went to Tongcheng yesterday, so I was away from the company for a day, and you are on a business trip again. There are many things waiting to be dealt with."

Qiao Anming paused for a few seconds, then leaned back on the sofa: "Did you see her? What do you say?"

"She is unwilling to take the initiative to give up custody, and she is a bit stubborn."

"Yes, she's stubborn. Sometimes I can't do anything with her." Qiao Anming smiled helplessly, "Has she read the agreement? Still disagree?"

"I don't agree, she said that one house is far from enough! Tell the Qiao family not to make any more decisions about the children." Peng Yuchu selected the main part and conveyed it to Qiao Anming, "Maybe my way of talking is wrong, she has no room for negotiation. "

"The way of talking? How did you tell her?"

"It's very direct, but I only said what I should say, and nothing else is superfluous." Peng Yuchu said the truth, and smiled bitterly, "But I'm sorry, you asked me to treat her better, I can't do it, so the conversation The tone should not be very good. You really shouldn't ask me to do this, because I reject her very much from the bottom of my heart. "

Considering Peng Yuchu's age, experience and personality, he really wouldn't appreciate a woman like Du Ruo.

"Some time ago you wanted to divorce Gu Lan because of her. The old lady kept crying at me on the phone and kept asking me to persuade you. But how should I persuade you? You are also a stubborn person. Up, probably as well."

Qiao Anming sat up straight from the sofa, rubbing his sore forehead: "Old Peng, are you blaming me?"

He no longer called him Yu Chu, but Lao Peng.

Qiao Anming would only call him Lao Peng when he was talking about personal affairs or when he was extremely tired.

"Am I wrong? I meant it nicely. You and Gu Lan had a divorce a while ago, and the shareholders of the company said it much worse than me. Do you want to hear it?"

"No, I can guess it. It's just that I'm obsessed with ghosts and foolish, and I want to leave Sheng'an because of a woman!"

"So you knew it in your heart!" Peng Yuchu said with some implicit sarcasm, "I thought your soul was taken away. For so many years, I have followed you through a lot of big and small things. I always thought you were calm in doing things, but Du Ruo In this matter, you really did something wrong. Leaving aside your hard work for Shengan for so many years, what about those employees who have been serving Silkan? What about those shareholders who have always supported and trusted you? Think about it, you are worthy of doing this Are they?"

Another hat came on.

Xiaoyi, responsibility, now has another trust from subordinates and shareholders.

Qiao Anming closed his eyes and breathed.

"You're accusing me! But you're right, I really didn't think about Du Ruo." Qiao Anming might only show his cowardly side in front of this subordinate who fought with him.

But when it was over, he added vaguely: "But Lao Peng, you don't understand..."

"What don't I understand? I'm several years older than you. Back then, I watched you marry Gu Lan, and watched you create Sheng'an with one hand. If you really gave up Sheng'an for a woman, don't say that the old lady will make trouble. Even I don't think it's worth it for you! What's more, that woman married someone else, and the child was scalded. You should know this, which shows that she is not capable of being a good mother! But fortunately, it's not too late for you to wake up... In time!"

"Is there still time?" Qiao Anming said to himself, and quickly said: "Old Peng, how long have you not talked to me like this in all these years? It's okay, I will talk about the child when I return to Chongzhou. I will talk to you tomorrow." I have to stay in Beijing for one more day. My former tutor and some old classmates from Peking University invited me to dinner. I have already changed my ticket. The evening flight will return to Chongzhou. You ask Xiao Zhang to wait for me at the airport..."

Qiao Anming hung up the phone and turned off the phone. Something was churning out of his heart, so he could only open the phone screen again and switch to the photo album.

A photo appears on the screen.

In the sunny ward, Du Ruo knelt on the bed and cut the little guy's nails...

Peng Yuchu said: "There is still time!"

But is there still time?
In the eyes of outsiders, Qiao Anming has found his way back, but only he knows that many things have changed.

Can't go back, it's too late!

Peng Yuchu hung up the phone, sighed, and was about to bury his head in his work, but the door of the office was pushed open.

"Old lady Qiao?..." Peng Yuchu sat up from his seat with a whoosh, screaming inwardly!
Ren Peiyin stood at the door with a cold face, staring at Peng Yuchu.

"One by one, you are getting more and more capable. How long are you going to keep it from me?"

Peng Yuchu hurried over to move the stool for the old lady: "Seeing what you said, what can I hide from you?"

Ren Peiyin snorted coldly: "How many things are you hiding from me? You were calling An Ming just now, right?"

As soon as Peng Yuchu heard this, he knew that the old lady was going to come to spy on him, so he prepared to play haha ​​perfunctorily, moved the stool a little further, and moved it in front of the old lady: "You sit first, and I will make you a cup of tea."

"Don't be busy, come back! I'll just ask you, were you talking on the phone with An Ming just now!"

Peng Yuchu stood in front of the water dispenser holding a glass, with a wry smile on his face, and could only tell the truth: "Yes, about work, Mr. Qiao is in Beijing discussing projects, and I've been very busy at the company these days. He got in touch, there are a lot of things at the end of the year, dealers, buyers, channels, a pile of problems..."

Peng Yuchu tried his best to argue.

But how could Ren Peiyin be so easy to fool, she didn't expose him, just watched him chattering, and she sat down on the chair slowly, half paid, and said: "Yu Chu, how many years have you been with An Ming?" ?”

"..." Peng Yuchu paused, "It's been 20 years."

"20 years is not a short time. You knew each other before An Ming opened the factory, right?"

"Yes, I was not familiar with it at that time, because I had a drink by chance."

"Yes, I remember. Later, you came to my house to drink and said that the food I cooked was delicious! At that time, An Ming's factory approval had not yet come down, and he had nothing. Why did you want to work with him?"

Peng Yuchu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes drifted out of the window.

By next summer, Peng Yuchu will have his 50th birthday.

Half a century, most of life.

He has seen all kinds of people, but Qiao Anming is the only one he admires.

At that time Qiao Anming still called him Big Brother Peng.

When I met him for the first time, he said that he wanted to set up a pharmaceutical factory. At that time, this idea was simply a fantasy, and everyone at the wine table laughed at him.

Peng Yuchu might have drunk too much that day, so he supported him casually, but Qiao Anming took it seriously, found him the next day, and encouraged Peng Yuchu to work with him!

After Peng Yuchu woke up, he also knew that setting up a pharmaceutical factory was basically impossible, so he persuaded him earnestly.

"What kind of factory do you want to set up? This thing is in the hands of the government. Why should we, ordinary people, mess up?"

But Qiao Anming didn't believe in evil.

"Pharmaceutical companies have been privatized a long time ago, but domestic private pharmaceutical companies have many problems, such as single drugs, small production scale, and lack of new drug research and development capabilities. And now that the reform of the medical system is being promoted in depth, I have to fight for this alone!"

Qiao Anming spoke with confidence, but it was impossible for Peng Yuchu to be moved by his empty words.

But at the end, Qiao Anming took a puff of a cigarette and looked back at him: "I know you all think that it is impossible for me to run a pharmaceutical factory, but life should always be a little bit unexpected and uncertain. Anyway, you are still young. If you lose, you have to start all over again. Win, Yimapingchuan!"

At that time, Qiao Anming was only 23 years old, wearing a denim shirt, squatting on the steps in front of Peng Yu's junior courtyard and saying this sentence.

Knowledge, courage, and the extremely beautiful future envisioned are all inferior to the word "young".

Because you are young, the future is infinite!
You might lose badly, but that's okay, there's plenty of time to get back up.

If you win, just like what Qiao Anming said, you will be flat!
In the end, Peng Yuchu was moved by the words "One Map Pingchuan", and began to follow Qiao Anming!

Now the old lady asked him why he was willing to follow Qiao Anming who had nothing at the beginning. He looked back and said, "I know the path he chose is difficult, but he is ruthless, that's enough!"

Ren Peiyin nodded in satisfaction.

"It was really difficult for An Ming when he first started, but at least you were there to help him. Later, the company grew bigger and bigger, and he always remembered you." After the old lady finished speaking, she sat up from the chair, and her tone became soothing: "Yu Chu, An Ming treats you well, and I have always regarded you as my half son. I remember that when An Ming and Gu Lan got married, you still came to drink wedding wine, right?"

Peng Yuchu nodded, he knew the purpose of the old lady's trip.

"Ask, what do you want to know?"

"About the child, I called An Ming these days, but he refused to say a word, so I wanted to ask you, how is the child? Also, I heard you said that the child was burned on the phone just now. what happened?……"

Du Ruo went to the station to buy a ticket in the morning.

Her departure this time was completely a temporary plan, just like fleeing, without notifying anyone.

He only called Du Liangxing overnight, and even Zheng Xiaoran and Mo Youting didn't know about it.

She planned to tell them when she got back to Xuancheng and settled down, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and then she would not be able to leave.

She had experienced Mo Youting's temper several times, and if he knew that she was going to leave, there would definitely be some fuss.

As for the divorce procedures, there can only be a delay for a while. When she returns to Xuancheng and has everything taken care of, she will find time to go back to Tongcheng.

This was Du Ruo's plan. Although it was a bit hasty, she had considered all aspects. She even packed her luggage and let the courier company drag it away, leaving only the necessary necessities on the train.

The train ticket is for the night, sleeper, direct express, and arrives in Xuancheng the next morning.

Du Ruo wanted to leave as soon as possible, and didn't want to stay any longer.

After leaving the station, Du Ruo went to a nearby ATM to withdraw some cash and put it on her body. As soon as she walked out of the self-service bank, Du Ruo received a call from Aunt Ding.

She had an ominous premonition in her heart, as if she had been burned that day.

"Aunt Ding, what's the matter?" Du Ruo asked anxiously.

Aunt Ding breathed calmly: "It's nothing. I've been picked up by his grandma, so I'll make a call to let you buy the ticket with peace of mind. Don't be in such a hurry..."

"Grandma? What grandma?"

"Old grandma, the old lady is really pompous, the Audi car, and the servant and driver with her,... when she sees her, she hugs and kisses..."

Du Ruo almost staggered and ran out of the bank, and ran to the road in one breath, but she stood there completely lost in the traffic.
