obsessed with love

Chapter 255
When I came out of the Japanese restaurant, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, and there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street.

Du Ruo followed Qiao Anming slowly to the intersection opposite the apartment, intending to say goodbye to him: "It's getting late, I'll take a taxi here and go back to the hospital, I guess I'll be back soon."

Qiao Anming was disappointed for a while, and was just about to find an excuse to stay, when the phone rang.

Standing beside Du Ruo, she immediately knew it was Ren Peiyin's voice.

"An Ming, tell Du Ruo that you can go back and stay with me tonight."

Qiao Anming glanced at Du Ruo beside her, she quickly shook her head and gestured with her mouth: "No!"

Qiao Anming frowned, and didn't reject Ren Peiyin directly, but said: "Mom, wait a minute, I'll call you later."

Then he hung up the phone and looked at Du Ruo: "Let's go back with my mother tonight."

"No, I'm afraid I'm not used to living in a strange place, and your mother is not in good health."

"It's okay, Mother Chen will take care of him." Qiao Anming began to stalk him, holding Du Ruo's shoulders with both hands, "It's the first time my mother met, and the two hit it off, can you not let my mother Spoiler."

"But…"

"Don't worry about it, just treat my mother once. I'll have someone take him back to the hospital tomorrow morning."

Du Ruo thought for a while, then nodded in a muffled voice: "That's fine, since you think your mother can afford it, let me let you stay for one night, but I won't go back to your apartment, I'll just stay here Take a taxi to the hospital."

She still planned to leave, but Qiao Anming had nothing to do.

"What are you doing back to the hospital alone? Why don't you just stay here overnight, the hospital can't sleep well."

"It doesn't matter. The hospital has beds anyway. I'll go first. You should go back to rest early after drinking." She turned around and waved to stop the car after she finished speaking.

Qiao Anming was anxious: "Du Ruo!"

"what?"

"You have to avoid me like this, right? If you think it's inconvenient for us to live in the same room, that's okay. I'll live in the suburbs and you will live alone. There's nothing wrong with that!"

"..." Du Ruo didn't expect Qiao Anming to get angry suddenly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I live in the hospital, I just..."

"No, just go back to the apartment, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep. I'll take a taxi back. I'll pick it up from my mother tomorrow morning and go to the hospital!" Qiao Anming didn't give her room to refute, and pulled her behind him. , I stretched out my hand and started to block the car.

In fact, he came here by car, but because he drank at the Japanese grocery store just now, he could only take a taxi back to the suburbs.

Seeing that he was so serious, Du Ruo didn't say any more.

The taxi was quickly flagged down.

He directly opened the door and went up, and left without saying hello to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo stood at the intersection and watched the tail lights disappear, and couldn't help but want to laugh. What's wrong with him?Why does it feel like a child venting his anger?
"Yu Chu, where is it?" Qiao Anming called Peng Yuchu after getting into the taxi.

Peng Yuchu replied: "On the way to the restaurant, take the old lady and the others back to the western suburbs."

"Then don't go pick it up, I'll ask Xiao Zhang to pick it up, come and find me, let's find a place to drink..."

It's a rare event in a hundred years, Qiao Anming actually took the initiative to invite someone to drink.

Peng Yuchu thought he heard it wrong, and felt guilty and panicked while driving.

The place we met was a Northeast restaurant, in an alley in the old town, the location is a bit out of the way, but it has been an old sign for more than ten years.

When Peng Yuchu entered, Qiao Anming was already waiting by the window. He ordered some dishes, a bottle of white wine, two pairs of chopsticks and two cups.

What kind of posture is this?Peng Yuchu looked around.

The restaurant is not a big restaurant, the decoration was old-fashioned N years ago, the lighting is not bright enough, and the store looks even darker.

The dishes are not good either, the most common Northeast specialties, ground three delicacies, stewed vegetables and pork stew noodles.

It's just that the wine is not bad, the 53% Moutai is not like the wine that should be in this kind of shop, but it seems that Qiao Anming bought it from outside.

"This..." Peng Yuchu didn't know how to start the conversation, so he could only stand by the table and ask first: "Mr. Qiao, shouldn't you accompany the old lady and the others to have dinner? Why are you here suddenly?"

Qiao Anming didn't answer right away, but slowly opened the wine bottle, filled the glasses in front of each other, and said, "Yu Chu, sit down first and eat with me, I'm not full for dinner."

This is his truth, he only ate a few mouthfuls of Ren Peiyin's side, and he only moved a few chopsticks for Japanese food, so after all the tossing, he can finally eat something.

But Peng Yuchu was full of doubts. He felt that Qiao Anming must be busy, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him to drink in such a place at night.

"Is it something wrong with the old lady? Or what did the doctor tell you?"

"No...you should sit down first." Qiao Anming smiled and pushed him to sit down, and handed over the menu, "Let's see if there are any more dishes to add. I haven't been to this place for many years."

"Have you ever been to this place?"

"Of course, you've been here too, don't you remember?" Qiao Anming asked back, "You're not even a few years older than me, why is your memory so bad?"

Peng Yuchu thought about it, searched his brains, but still couldn't figure out where it was!

"I can't remember, where?"

"Old Cai, Sheng'an's first factory was built behind this alley. We came here to celebrate when we delivered our first order. At that time, the store was not so big, it seemed to be only two rooms..."

When Qiao Anming said this, Peng Yuchu remembered something.

"Yes, yes... There is such a thing. At that time, we took the first payment to eat here, and you drank too much. When you went back, you vomited all the way... But I remember that there are no alleys on both sides."

"It didn't exist more than ten years ago, but after the demolition here, all the houses were demolished, and a community and a vegetable market were built. As a result, the shops here were surrounded inside, and it became an alley." Qiao Anming looked around the shop in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help sighing "Everything has changed around, but this restaurant is still the same, not even the dishes on the menu."

Peng Yuchu smiled: "Yes, but judging by the deserted appearance of this courtyard, the business is probably not very good. You have to know how to be flexible in catering these days. It may not be a good thing if it remains the same for more than ten years!"

"This is the case in shopping malls, not only in catering, but also in other industries. Changes lead to success, and general rules lead to success."

Peng Yuchu was taken aback, because Qiao Anming also said this sentence more than ten years ago, and it seemed to be in this Northeast restaurant.

At that time, the first batch of plasters were successfully launched, and the market responded strongly. Everyone in the subordinates agreed to mass-produce them in the future, lay out channels, and push this rheumatism plaster to all parts of the country.

Everyone is full of fighting spirit and feels that although the future is far away, at least there is a good start, but Qiao Anming suddenly proposes to develop new drugs, and spend most of his energy and funds in the future on new drugs.

For Shengan at that time, it was really a relatively stupid decision.

Because Shengan had just started at that time, its foundation was extremely unstable, and it was only a small factory at best. It was hard to win market recognition with a plaster, but Qiao Anming wanted to find another way. Capable and ignorant to the extreme.

For this reason, two salesmen left, and even Peng Yuchu doubted his ability and judgment.

Qiao Anming didn't explain, and just invited Peng Yuchu to have a meal here alone.

It seems that they also ordered these few dishes and ordered two bottles of white wine. Of course, it can't be Moutai, it seems to be Erguotou in half a catty.

Qiao Anming personally poured the wine for him, and said as he poured: "Yu Chu, I know you must think that I am out of my mind. The pharmaceutical factory survived after all, but I am on the verge of death, but let me tell you, My purpose is not to survive, I want to be bigger and stronger, and in the medicine industry, if you change, you will win, and if you change, you will win."

It turned out that Qiao Anming was right.

He used most of the funds in his hands to develop rheumatism spray. At that time, almost all the medicines for rheumatism and bone disease on the market were plasters, and when Shengan's spray came out, it almost monopolized the market.

Later, he developed Fengshi Capsules and Fengshi Powder, and formed a series of them, completing the initial capital accumulation of Shengan. Five years later, he successfully acquired two state-owned pharmaceutical companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy.

This is Qiao Anming's grand road for Sheng'an, and it can't be done with just a plaster.

"Mr. Qiao, thanks to your long-term vision, you made the right decision. If you change, you will win. Otherwise, Sheng'an would not have the scale it is now." Peng Yuchu said with a sip of wine, feeling a little disappointed.

Qiao Anming smiled: "The market is changing rapidly, I must always be ahead, otherwise I will be eliminated easily, but life, at the beginning, life seems to be different."

"Life..." Peng Yuchu paid attention to Qiao Anming's expression, "Mr. Qiao, you invited me to drink tonight, it seems that it's not as simple as reminiscing about the past."

He smiled: "I can't hide anything from you, let's be honest, these years have been tiring, and it's even more so recently, with all kinds of pressure."

In terms of work, Medicine Valley has just opened, and the investment is so huge. If the response to the product launch is not good, it will be a tragic blow.

In terms of life, not long after Gu Lan passed away, Ren Peiyin's stomach cancer was terminal, and time was running out.

Emotionally... Emotionally, it was even more chaotic. Du Ruo seemed to be trying to avoid her, no matter what he did, he couldn't get close to her.

Peng Yuchu knew and sighed.

He has worked with Qiao Anming for so many years, and it seems to be the first time he heard him complaining of being tired.

"At our age, our energy is not as good as before. It's better to think about some things."

"Yes, that's what I said, but I'm always unwilling."

"What are you still unwilling to do? You have everything you need."

Qiao Anming smiled bitterly: "I'm not talking about work."

"Then what's the matter? Old lady? The old lady's illness is really sudden, but everyone has their own destiny, and it's useless if you don't want to." Peng Yuchu enlightened, but Qiao Anming shook his head: "Neither, I have tried my best at work. Yes, I have never been the most concerned about the outcome. As for my mother's illness, she has given up surgery and chemotherapy. Since I respect her choice, I have already prepared for the worst..."

"Then why are you so unwilling?"

Qiao Anming didn't answer directly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, the spicy liquid burned to the heart.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled to not being persistent and wasting these three years in vain. Although she is by my side now, I don't know where she is? Lao Peng, I'm pretty sure of everything in my life, but She, only she makes me feel panicked..."

Because Du Ruo didn't bring a change of clothes to Qiao Anming's apartment, he casually rummaged through an old shirt in his closet and put it on.

After taking a bath, she went to bed. She was really too tired recently, and she lacked sleep so much that she fell asleep soon after touching the bed.

I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely felt someone knocking on the door.

no no no...

She shook her head in the quilt, how could she knock on the door? There is a doorbell on the door of this apartment.

But the knock on the door became louder and louder, and it seemed that her name was still on it.

"Du Ruo...Du Ruo..."

Du Ruo sat up with a jolt.

Qiao Anming?Was it Qiao Anming knocking on the door outside?
She threw off the quilt and ran towards the door. Looking out through the peephole, she saw Qiao Anming standing outside with a slanted body.

"How did you come…?"

She asked Qiao Anming, who was too drunk to stand still outside the door.

Qiao Anming raised his eyelids with great effort, but didn't answer, and stared blankly at Du Ruo in front of him.

She was wearing his shirt, which wrapped her slender body loosely. Originally, the hem was long enough to cover her buttocks, but it was all wrinkled and shrunk due to sleeping, so she could barely Wrapped to the heel of the leg.

Two straight and slender legs, bare feet, she didn't wear shoes, she stepped barefoot on the marble floor...

Qiao Anming frowned, and his breath became short of breath.

Du Ruo also realized that his eyes were blazing, so he pulled the hem of his shirt in embarrassment, rubbed his feet together, and said, "I... didn't bring any clothes to change, so I borrowed your clothes to wear overnight. Clean it up and give it back…”

What to borrow?
What tomorrow morning?
He was really fed up with her superficially polite but cynical attitude, and after drinking again, his mind was chaotic, his heart was burning hot, and his hotness rose. As a result, Qiao Anming did something that he felt nasty when he thought about it afterwards...

With a push, the door opened wide, Du Ruo was knocked against the wall next to the entrance, and he stumbled over it.

"Well... Qiao Anming, what are you doing...?"

"What are you talking about...what am I doing?" He didn't want to listen to her, so he covered his lips again, and squeezed her constantly moving wrist even tighter.

Du Ruo has already realized that this man is crazy. First of all, he drank wine, and his tongue was full of the pungent taste of liquor. Secondly, he exerted so much energy that he was completely different from the usual gentleman and elegant man...

"Hiss..." She held her breath and bit down.

Qiao Anming let go of her lips in pain, and the smell of blood wafted from her mouth.

"Qiao Anming, let go! Or I will bite your shoulder!" Du Ruo's eyes were red, thinking that he would give up, but she was wrong, he is a beast, and the beast will only become more violent after licking the smell of blood. Not to mention a drunk beast.

So in the next second, Qiao Anming hugged Du Ruo...

"Hey... what are you doing, where are you going to carry me?" Du Ruo didn't expect him to come up with this move at all, his hands and feet fluttered, but Qiao Anming was quite strong, he held her in his arms, and stepped on her back foot , the door was "bang" hit.

Du Ruo felt a sense of despair.

"Let me go! What are you going to do?"

"Do what I want, you choose, the living room or the bedroom!"

"No, Qiao Anming, you can't treat me like this, you put me down first!"

"You will run if you let me down, Du Ruo, I have been waiting for three years..." His expression was sad and serious, and he added: "Besides, you don't wear shoes... I told you not to go barefoot, but you didn't listen , when will you be able to listen to me?"

"..."

Du Ruo had nothing to say. A drunk person was simply unreasonable, and even his logic was so strong that it was almost shameless.

If he goes crazy, how can Du Ruo be his opponent!What's more, the time and place are right, even the clothes are very suitable, who asked her to wear his shirt?

He was really crazy, driven crazy by her.

Du Ruo felt that she couldn't escape today. She didn't reject having a relationship with Qiao Anming, but she never thought that their first meeting after so many years would be in such a way.

The people under him bowed together in pain, biting down on Qiao Anming's shoulder...

"You can bite a little harder, it's not painful enough, at least not enough to wake me up..." Qiao Anming's voice echoed in his ears, his bones were pierced with coldness.

Du Ruo suddenly lost all strength, and started to cry, sobbing in a broken voice. Qiao Anming couldn't bear it, and was upset, so he blocked her with his lips again, so that she couldn't even cry.

The re-intimacy after many years, he actually used this method to achieve it.

No wonder he wanted to tell Peng Yuchu: "I'm sure of everything in my life, but she is the only one who makes me feel panicked..."

The whole scene lasted for a long time, and Du Ruo stopped crying later, because crying was useless.

In fact, Qiao Anming was almost sober from the wine in the second half, but it would be better not to wake up, because the more he wakes up, the more hopeless he becomes.

In the end, he didn't dare to look into Du Ruo's eyes, so he could only bury his head in her hair and apologize hoarsely: "I'm sorry..."

She laughed, and tears flowed down his neck: "I'm sorry for what?"

"Are you going to force me?"

"Don't dare!"

"Du Ruo..." Qiao Anming didn't know how to win the round, as if he had lost everything, and at this moment, everything he said was wrong, so he could only let go of her hand dejectedly.

She didn't escape either, and continued to lie under him, her pupils like a cold and dark crystal.
