"Xinxin, you still need to pay for it, Hong'er's medicine is almost finished. By the way, you should be paid in the next few days, remember to work hard, Hong'er's illness can't be delayed any longer. ”

Hong'er is Ruan Xin's child, named Ruan Hong.

Five years ago, she just broke up with Qi Ziqian and found out that she was pregnant.

Due to the special circumstances of that year, Hong'er was born malnourished and had congenital heart disease.

Her mother has been taking care of her all these years, but heart disease is not a trivial matter, in the past few years, the house and car have been sold, but Hong'er's condition is still getting worse day by day.

She needs to earn money, but she has to stay here like this, which is somewhat selfish.

It was her dream to become a lawyer, but she had no academic qualifications and no time to support her to fulfill her dream.

What's more, Qi Ziqian is also here.

Ruan Xin gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, "Okay, I know." ”

Xu is her voice was too calm, and Zhan Huimei on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Xinxin, I'm sorry for you, if I hadn't been unclear about people, I would have hurt you...... You and Qi Ziqian wouldn't have come to this point. Hong'er will not ......"

"Okay," Ruan Xin interrupted her coldly, "Since it's all in the past, there's no need to keep mentioning it." I'll pay you in the next two days, and I'll call you then. ”

"Okay, I'm a little busy here, so I won't say more. ”

After quickly hanging up the phone, Ruan Xin's expression that had been holding back and calming finally began to change.

The events of that year, even if they were full of misunderstandings and sadness, have passed after all. She can't keep dwelling on the past, not to mention, Hong'er is still counting on her.

The cold eroded Ruan Xin little by little, until the night outside the window was thick like ink, and Qi Ziqian still didn't come out of the office.

Ruan Xin got up and wanted to move her numb legs, but suddenly heard Lu Chen's voice sound.

"Whoever is idle, go and send two glasses of water to Lawyer Qi's office, remember to add ice. ”

At this time, there were no two people in the office, and they were all busy with their own affairs, so Ruan Xin spoke: "I'll go." ”

She was an assistant who served tea and poured water, and no one robbed her of this job.

She paused slightly as she poured the water.

When she was in high school, Qi Ziqian had the habit of drinking ice water, and the water taken out of the refrigerator was always drunk directly without waiting, and she persuaded her several times without success.

Later, he drank until he had diarrhea, so he refused to listen to her advice. After that, the water he drank was warm water poured from her thermos.

Throughout high school, she almost contracted the water he was going to drink.

I just don't know when this habit will change again.

Ruan Xin was entangled for a while, but still did not add ice as Lu Chen said, but poured a glass of warm water and a glass of ice water.

When she pushed the door in, Ruan Xin never thought that she knew the people in the office.

Not only acquaintance, but also "a lot of relationships".

"Ruan Xin?" Xu Rou said in surprise.

Ruan Xin smiled slightly, put the ice water in front of Xu Rou, and gave the warm water to Qi Ziqian.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still with your senior, why haven't you heard your senior mention you?" After being surprised, Xu Rou returned to her usual ladylike appearance.

Xu Rou is the school flower of their high school, one year lower than them, and has always been called Senior Qi Ziqian. In high school, there were a lot of hints about Qi Ziqian, but she had a good relationship with Qi Ziqian, and after being scolded by her a few times, she didn't say anything about it, but finally had a good relationship with Ruan Xin.

However, after she graduated from high school, she didn't have any contact with any of her former friends, but she didn't expect Xu Rou to still have contact with Qi Ziqian.

"Not together, she's my new assistant, but she shouldn't be right away. Qi Ziqian opened his mouth to explain unexpectedly, and then turned to Ruan Xin and said, "Didn't you already let you leave, why are you still here?"

Ruan Xin bit her lip, not wanting to discuss this matter in front of Xu Rou, so she lowered her voice, "I still have something to tell you." ”

Qi Ziqian's eyes deepened a little when he heard this, the corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of mockery, and his voice changed back to the indifference of the afternoon: "I don't think I have anything to say to you, we have already made it clear what should be said." If you have to dwell on it like this, I only have ......"

"Oh, how can you be so unkind, no matter how you say it, they are all classmates" Xu Rou interrupted Qi Ziqian's words, pouting at him, looking like a little daughter's delicate.

Looking at the interaction of no one around, Ruan Xin was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

Xu Rou and Qi Ziqian, are they together?

Before I thought about it, I heard Xu Rou continue to ask: "I remember if you were admitted to the top ten universities? How could you go to the senior as an assistant, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to be a lawyer." ”

Ruan Xin blinked, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and pulled out a smile and said, "There is something in the back, I dropped out of school." ”

"Oh, that's it," Xu Rou nodded clearly, "I only have a high school degree, and it's normal to only be an assistant." ”

Although this is a fact, when she heard these words from others, Ruan Xin couldn't help but feel a little sad in the end.

Qi Ziqian watched the two of them talk expressionlessly, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Reaching out to pick up the water cup, he couldn't help frowning, put the water cup at the wrong temperature again, and looked at Ruan Xin's eyes full of impatience.

"Recognize who you are, and don't go out to do your own work. ”

Do you think you're bothering them?

Ruan Xin subconsciously thought that her fingers tightened unconsciously, and she was about to go out when she opened her mouth.

Xu Rou's voice came from behind him, "Ruan Xin, let's have a meal together, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you." ”

Ruan Xin's hand to open the door paused, hummed lowly and left.

Miss?

Ruan Xin in high school may still believe it, but now, she doesn't believe it anymore.

Women's feelings are the most sensitive, and Xu Rou's actions today are to show her relationship with Qi Ziqian in front of her.

Just by virtue of her relationship with Qi Ziqian, Xu Rou is naturally hostile to her, and she understands this.

I'm afraid this meal is to warn her and ask her to stop thinking about Qi Ziqian.

However, if Xu Rou is really with Qi Ziqian, then Hong'er's existence ......

Forget it, let's wait and see.

Xu Rou left quickly, Qi Ziqian sent her to the door, and when she returned to the office, she pointed to Ruan Xin and let her in.

Qi Ziqian sat on the office chair, with the warm water she poured at hand, no less at all.

Seeing Ruan Xin come in, a trace of anger appeared on his face: "Ruan Xin, what do you want to do?"
