obsessed with love

Chapter 253 I Want To See You
Two days later, Sunday.

After that, I was officially transferred to Chongzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In fact, the healed wound is not a serious problem, it only needs to be hung with water regularly to reduce inflammation, but Qiao Anming was too cautious, he arranged a series of orthopedic examinations, for fear that the results of the examinations at the small town hospital would not be reliable.

It was the driver Xiao Zhang who came to pick up Du Ruo.

Originally, Yixian Yaogu provided Qiao Anming with another driver, but he felt that Xiao Zhang and Du Ruo were more familiar, so he finally called Xiao Zhang from the city because he was afraid of embarrassing her.

It was already lunch time when we arrived at Chongzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Fortunately, Qiao Anming had arranged everything in advance, and he was admitted directly to the VIP ward with a nurse assigned to him, and the examination began in the afternoon.

While Du Ruo was packing his luggage, Xiao Zhang called Qiao Anming aside.

"Mr. Qiao, Assistant Peng has completed the formalities for the old lady, and she will be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon."

"I see. I will go there to see her off in the afternoon." Qiao Anming glanced back at Du Ruo who was talking to her, and lowered her voice: "Don't tell her that the old lady is also in this hospital. She doesn't know."

Xiao Zhang's face was fixed, and he nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After lunch, Du Ruo took it for an examination, and Qiao Anming followed him all the way.

The examination is scheduled in advance, so there is no one in the examination room.

When Du Ruo hugged her and went in, she suddenly stopped: "Qiao Anming, please arrange to have your mother come and meet with you after the inspection."

Qiao Anming felt that he didn't hear clearly, like an illusion.

"Du Ruo, what did you say?"

Du Ruo didn't look back, and said coldly: "I know your mother also lives in this hospital. I heard you when you called at the door of the ward a few days ago, but I can only do so much for the time being. Others, don't force me... "

Qiao Anming's heart palpitations, but also with a little sadness.

"I'm already very grateful that you agreed to let me meet my mother, Du Ruo, thank you!"

"No thanks, I didn't do this for your mother, but for you!"

She knew Ren Peiyin's position in Qiao Anming's heart. Although Qiao Anming was usually indifferent to the old lady's words and had a normal attitude, she understood that he was naturally cold and actually cared a lot.

When Qiao Anming went to the old lady's ward, she had just taken the medicine and was dozing off in a wheelchair.

Chen Ma was packing her things to be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, and when she saw Qiao Anming coming in, she hurriedly made a "shh" sound: "Mr. Qiao, the old lady just took a dose of painkiller, and finally fell asleep..."

"Why don't you go to bed?"

"She doesn't want to. She said she was tired of lying on the bed, and she said stupid things to me, saying that she was afraid that she would not be able to wake up..." Chen Ma smiled helplessly, but her words were sad.

Qiao Anming was extremely depressed in his heart, the kind of depression that had nowhere to vent his sadness.

He is not a person who likes to show sadness and pain on his face. Ever since Ren Pain's stomach cancer recurred, and he was even given a terminal diagnosis by the hospital, he never seemed to show any sadness or anxiety.

In the eyes of outsiders, he seems ruthless to the point of inhumanity, but this is his biological mother!
But those who are familiar with him should know that his temper is neither hot nor cold.

"Then let her sleep a little longer, I'll wait for her here." Qiao Anming also sat on the sofa, leaned against the back, and looked at Ren Peiyin quietly.

Ren Peiyin used to be of average height, and she has been raised very well these years, so she gained a little bit of blessing, but it was only half a year, and she was so thin that she was in shape.

His complexion was even worse, because the skin on his face was loose and blue due to eating too little.

Ren Peiyin just leaned back on the wheelchair and dozed off, with an indwelling needle on the back of her hand and a hospital blanket on her knee.

Fortunately, the sunshine in the early autumn was very good, and the golden sunlight covered her blue-gray face, which made her look better.

But for a moment, Qiao Anming suddenly felt that Ren Peiyin would fall asleep and never wake up again...

With a sore nose, a torrent of sadness poured out from the bottom of his heart. Qiao Anming couldn't control it for a moment, and the circles of his eyes turned red.

Fortunately, Mama Chen didn't see it. She was still packing her clothes while chatting softly with Qiao Anming.

"Mr. Qiao, the old lady is going to leave the hospital. After you go back this time, you can spend more time with her. I originally persuaded her to move to your place after going back, but she didn't want to. She said you were too busy. , afraid of delaying your business."

Qiao Anming didn't answer. He and Ren Peiyin have indeed gone too far in the past few years. They used to be like a mother and son, but these years they even look like strangers.

"I know what the old lady is thinking. Over the past few years, she has regularly gone to the temple to burn incense and talk to the old monk. In fact, she is not afraid of delaying your business, she just feels ashamed of you!"

"Ashamed of me? Ashamed of what?"

"She felt that Ms. Du disappeared with her child, and she was forced to leave. She could see that you have been unhappy all these years..." Mother Chen put the clothes in her hand on the sofa in the middle of speaking, and turned around suddenly. She smiled at Qiao Anming in embarrassment: "It is reasonable for me to say some things, but I have served the old lady for so many years. If she doesn't say some things, I will say them for her. Besides, my wife has passed away..."

Qiao Anming rubbed the center of his brows, the red circles around his eyes seemed to be even redder.

"What are you going to tell her?"

"Old lady, she has been hanging in her heart, thinking that if you didn't stop you from divorcing your wife, maybe everyone wouldn't have had such a hard life these years. In fact, the old lady's temper is very similar to yours. Whether it's suffering or grievances, don't say it. You have rarely talked to her these years. She lives day by day, her body is getting worse every day, and the regret in her heart is getting worse. "

"Regret?" Qiao Anming didn't know why, but he actually laughed out loud when he heard this word, "What does she regret? I should be the one who regrets."

"But the old lady can't see you suffering. You have been by her side all these years, but the old lady knows that your heart is dead. You are not happy, how can the old lady be happy?"

"..."

Qiao Anming didn't show any expression.

Regret or not, such words are meaningless now!

Knowing that the inspection over there has been completed and everything is fine, Du Ruo sent a text message to Qiao Anming, and he was also relieved.

The old lady must have been woken up by his text messages.

"An Ming, you came back from a business trip? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I told Mr. Qiao not to wake you up. It's rare for you to sleep for a while." Chen Ma explained, and the old lady let out a breath, "It's up to you, I've been lying in bed all day, can't I get enough sleep?"

Qiao Anming adjusted her emotions, walked to her wheelchair, and squatted down.

"Mom, Mama Chen is doing it for your own good. I was too busy a while ago, but I will be free in the next period. I have time to accompany you."

"Really?" She smiled, the skin on her face wrinkled, "Coax me, you say you're not busy, I don't believe it!"

"Really, it will be free for a while." Qiao Anming took Ren Peiyin's hand and rubbed it repeatedly.

This pair of hands with tough bones in his memory cooks for him, does his laundry for him, lights the lamp for him at the desk, and raises him alone.

But how could he be skinny and have bulging veins in just a blink of an eye?
Qiao Anming frowned, his chest was so tight that he could only smile with his mouth open.

"Mom, after you get out of the hospital this time, move to live with me?"

"No, I live there quite well, and I'm used to it with Chen's mother accompanying me."

"Mama Chen can also move there. There are so many people there. You see, Mama Chen has to take care of you now. She also has to clean up the house and prepare three meals a day. It's too hard. There are too many people in my place. Mama Chen will go over and chat with you. Just fine."

Ren Peiyin shrank her fingers, turned over to cover the back of Qiao Anming's hand: "No need, I know you are busy with work, and you miss me when I move over, how do you work?"

Qiao Anming paused, he was thinking about how to mention the matter to her.

"I'm the boss. Whether I'm busy or not is up to me. You agree to move to my place, and I'll tell you something."

"You...why, talk to your old lady about the conditions!" Ren Peiyin laughed straight away, she was in such a good mood: "Tell me, let me hear whether it is a good thing or a bad thing!"

"Good thing."

"Then hurry up and tell me, how long have I not had any good things happen in these years!"

Qiao Anming stopped and held Ren Peiyin's hand again: "I'll tell you, but don't get too excited after you finish."

"Okay, okay, your mother has a bad stomach, not a bad heart!"

Qiao Anming breathed a sigh of relief, at least Ren Peiyin's endurance was stronger than ordinary people.

"That... I found Du Ruo some time ago..."

……

Ren Peiyin said she wasn't excited, but she kept crying for a long time, and it was useless to persuade her.

Peng Yuchu just came to pick up the old lady from the hospital, and saw her crying in a wheelchair as if she couldn't hold on when she saw the door, she was very frightened.

"What's wrong with the old lady?"

Mama Chen shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

Qiao Anming said with a cold face: "I told her, I found Du Ruo, and she agreed to let me meet her at night..."

……

Originally, Qiao Anming wanted to arrange the meeting in the old lady's inpatient ward, but the old lady refused to agree.

"An Ming, don't be in the ward. I've been looking forward to it for so many years. I don't want my child to see a sick grandma who is dying!"

Ren Peiyin has a strong body, she doesn't want to see her grandson and Du Ruo with a sick face and the posture of a dying person.

Qiao Anming thought about it and finally agreed.

Peng Yuchu was very worried and pulled Qiao Anming aside.

"Mr. Qiao, with the old lady's current situation, I'm afraid something will happen to her if she sees the child getting agitated!"

"No, my mother is quite stubborn, and stubborn people are hard-tempered, that's all right, go find a proper restaurant and book a private room, and then send my mother home first. When the time comes, I will bring you and Du Ruo goes to the restaurant, and you take my mother there!"

The old lady followed Peng Yuchu back to the west courtyard, took a shower, washed her face, changed her clothes, asked Chen Ma to comb her hair neatly, and without telling Qiao Anming, let the doctor who was hired from outside give her an injection of pethidine.

She wants to see her child and Du Ruo in the best possible state.

The agreed meeting time was 6 pm, but the old lady left home at 3 pm.

I was anxious, but I was timid when I approached the restaurant.

"Yu Chu, the car turned around and accompanied me to the supermarket."

"What are you doing at the supermarket?"

"Go and buy some food for the child. By the way, is there a shopping mall nearby? I have to buy some toys for the child. Let me think about it... The child should be three years old. For a three-year-old child, you know that a three-year-old child likes What kind of toy? My old lady doesn’t understand anything, you can accompany me to the mall to pick…”

Ren Peiyin sat in the back seat and kept talking, impatient and nervous.

Chen Ma laughed at her from the side: "Old lady, don't worry, what do you want to buy, the future will last forever!"

"No, no, it's the first time we meet. As a grandma, I have to buy some things. By the way, I can buy some clothes for him when I go to the mall..."

"Clothes, do you know how tall and fat the child is?"

"Yes, clothes are not good, I don't know the size of clothes, forget it...you can buy clothes in the future..."

Ren Peiyin chattered endlessly, and Peng Yuchu listened to it while driving, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Because of concerns about the old lady's health, Peng Yuchu deliberately booked a restaurant in the western suburbs.

Private cooking, the restaurant is small in scale, but it is very famous in Chongzhou. The dishes are good and the environment is good. What's more, there are not many customers, and the table is limited every day.

The private room is at the innermost part of the corridor on the second floor.

When Qiao Anming was about to arrive, he called Peng Yuchu, and the old lady became even more nervous.

"Mother Chen, show me, is your hair messy?"

"The hair is fine and not messy."

"What about the collar? I said I should wear that red woolen sweater. It looks good, but you insisted on making me wear it..." Ren Peiyin forced herself to stand up from the wheelchair.

"Mother Chen, help me go to the bathroom, and I'll look in the mirror by myself. Also, Yu Chu took away my wheelchair and all the medicine I brought!"

Busy for a while, great sorrow and great joy.

Qiao Anming carried her up the stairs.

Because the restaurant is quiet after all, and there are only two boxes on the second floor, the old lady can hear the conversation between Qiao Anming and the child even if she is in the room.

"Dad, Mom said that today is the time to accompany grandma for dinner..."

"Yes, have dinner with grandma."

"Did grandma just refuse to eat like you did? Do you want to eat with her?"

"Yeah, grandma is even more disobedient than you, so I have to coax grandma to eat after a while!"

"That's it, haha... Grandma is disobedient!"

The child's baby voice and Qiao Anming's gentle words came closer and closer from the corridor.

Ren Peiyin sat at the opposite door, pinching the armrest of the chair with her hands, breathing in and out continuously.

She still waited until this day, she still waited until...

"Madam, don't be so nervous!" Chen Ma saw that her expression was tense, and reminded her softly.

The old lady laughed quickly: "Yes, yes, don't be nervous, don't scare the child." After she finished speaking, she patted her face, but the circles of her eyes still turned red uncontrollably.

The door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in front.

"Mr. Qiao, please..."

Then Qiao Anming walked in with her arms in his arms.

After looking forward to it for half a lifetime and studying it for three years, when Ren Peiyin saw that moment, tears filled her eyes.

Chen Ma paid attention to her expression. Seeing her like this, she turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes, and then quickly reminded her: "Madam, Mr. Qiao and the others are here."

"Yes, we're here, we're here..." Ren Peiyin repeated twice in a row, a little at a loss, she could only stand up first while holding on to the armrest of the chair with trembling arms.

Qiao Anming put his hand on the ground, took his hand, and walked to the table step by step.

"Mom...it's over."

He stared wide-eyed at the emaciated Ren Peiyin at the other end of the table, his little head kept searching for what Du Ruo had told him before he came.

"Okay, let's go to eat, remember to call someone."

"what is it call?"

"Call grandma."

"Grandma, is it the same grandma as Grandma Dong?"

"No, not as old as Grandma Dong, and also different from Grandma Dong."

"Why are they different, aren't they all grandma?"

So when the little guy saw Ren Peiyin, he kept staring at her face.

In the little guy's dictionary, he has many grandmas, such as Grandma Dong who lives upstairs, Aunt Hui's mother in the pharmacy, and Granny Liu who sells tofu in the vegetable market. Mom wants to say she is different?
"Okay, what do you want to shout? Mom taught you." Seeing him staring blankly, Qiao Anming knelt down and reminded him again.

Liao Xiao frowned, and said emotionlessly: "Grandma..."

Thousands of words may not be worth these two words.

Ren Peiyin swayed on the spot, and finally gritted her teeth and let out a vague "Hey", and she insisted on moving her chair and walking over there after answering.

She was still shaking desperately when she left, so Mama Chen quickly supported her.

Qiao Anming saw that her gait was unsteady, so he led her and walked over.

"Okay, you can sit next to grandma."

"Okay..." The little guy was quite obedient, and he was about to climb onto the chair, but Ren Peiyin quickly grabbed him, "Come on, sit on grandma's lap..."

Qiao Anming didn't allow it: "Mom, let him sit there, how can you eat while sitting on your lap?"

Chen's mother also persuaded: "Yes, it is not convenient to sit on the lap, and let's talk about the child's skin, don't hit you again!"

"It's okay, I can't eat these anyway, just let me hug them." She said and was about to hug them.

She swung her arms a few times, obviously unwilling to be hugged by Ren Peiyin: "Mom said, don't hug and eat while eating."

This sentence reminded Ren Peiyin, and she hurriedly asked Qiao Anming: "By the way, where is his mother?"

"Du Ruo didn't come."

"why?"

"She said she was too tired, so I didn't bring her here." Qiao Anming deliberately said it naturally, but the old lady was so shrewd that she figured out the reason.

"She still doesn't want to see me... Yeah, of course she doesn't want to see me!"

Seeing the old lady's ups and downs, Chen's mother hurriedly helped her into the table: "There will always be a chance in the future, please sit down first, the child is hungry, I will ask the waiter to serve..."

Qiao Anming gave an "um", and what Du Ruo said before leaving rang out.

"I'm not going, you take it with you, go and have a meal with her."

"Why don't you go?"

"What am I going to do?"

"You still refuse to forgive her in your heart?"

"I can't talk about forgiveness. What happened back then was not your mother's fault, but there are some things that have something to say, because the impression was too deep at that time, and the scars in my heart were too deep, so I can't forget it so easily. Simply put, Qiao Anming, I can't let go of it for the time being, so don't force me to go, okay?"

Du Ruo smiled, handed the food to him, and explained a few words to Qiao Anming, and finally raised his head and added to Qiao Anming: "Go, finish eating early and send the food back, besides, I don't think your mother may want to see me." , I'm here, maybe no one is comfortable, so I'd better stay in the hospital, everyone have a good meal."

This is her reason and her excuse.

She has never been a big-hearted person, she is just soft-hearted.

Qiao Anming thought about it and respected what she meant.

"Okay, I brought it myself, but don't stay in the hospital, I have an apartment nearby, you go there to take a shower and sleep for a while, you've been in the hospital all this time and you're exhausted."

"No, I'll just lie down in the hospital for a while."

"Go, I'll ask Xiao Zhang to take you there in a while, you go take a shower and have a good night's sleep. I will accompany you in the hospital at night."

Qiao Anming spoke softly, and Du Ruo finally agreed.

The dishes were all served soon, and Ren Peiyin asked for a few more dishes and drinks.

The little guy didn't understand either, so he randomly ordered with the menu, and the table was full.

For a table of dishes, Ren Peiyin basically didn't move her chopsticks, Chen Ma didn't eat much, Qiao Anming only took a few mouthfuls, and ended up eating alone.

The little guy has a very good appetite, and maybe he is also a good chef in the restaurant, so he ate very happily.

But because his right hand was injured, he couldn't eat by himself, so someone had to feed him.

Originally, it was Chen Ma who fed it at first, but after a few mouthfuls, Ren Peiyin was not happy, so she insisted on grabbing it and feeding it herself.

Qiao Anming didn't stop him either. It was hard for grandparents and grandchildren to meet each other, and it didn't take much effort to feed them.

"Is this sweet and sour pork ribs delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's better than what my mother made."

"Eat more if it tastes good, and shrimp, do you like shrimp? Grandma will peel it for you..."

"Okay, that's it, I want that one, the big one, my mother said that the big ones are more expensive, and my mother rarely buys them, and my mother has no money..."

"Okay, grandma will pick the big one for you, and I'll eat all the biggest one." Ren Peiyin stretched out her hand to reach for the prawns with red eyes.

Chen Ma hurriedly turned the plate over, picked a few and put them on the small plate in front of her: "Madam, let me peel."

"I'll peel it, I'll peel it..." Ren Peiyin snatched it up and did it herself.

Big prawns, the meat is fat and tender, I peeled it in my hand and fingered the soup, but my heart became more and more blocked, and tears began to come out.

Chen Ma took out a tissue and handed it over: "Madam..."

Ren Peiyin tapped her fingers to pick up a tissue, wiped her tears, then smiled and lowered her head to peel the shrimp.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat…"

"If it's delicious, grandma will give you a whole plate, and grandma will peel more for you..."

"Okay..." The little guy ate his face full of oil stains, looked back at Ren Peiyin, and suddenly asked, "Grandma, why are you crying?"

"Grandma didn't cry, grandma was happy..."

Qiao Anming finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and walked out.

Outside the restaurant was a crowded street, and the early autumn wind was cool, so he called Du Ruo: "Are you asleep?"

"No, I just took a shower. I can't sleep well in a strange bed. Are you naughty over there? If it's too naughty, send him back earlier."

"Not naughty, he gets along very well with my mother."

"..." Du Ruo was stunned, and seemed to sigh softly: "It should be harmonious, but I was brought up by me, so he doesn't recognize his life, besides... besides, he and your mother, after all, we will get along well. There is a blood relationship."

Qiao Anming didn't speak, just pinched his mobile phone and watched the passers-by on the street.

There are couples, couples, and parents with children.

"Du Ruo, I want to go to your place."

"I'm here?"

"Well, okay? I'll go back to live with my mother tonight, and Chen's mother will take care of him."
