Chapter 68: Birthday
Jiang Anning looked at Chu Yao with heavy eyes, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from his expression.
However, Chu Yao's face was calm, and his eyes were extremely calm, without a trace of waves.
Hearing her say this, she only explained lightly: "Oh, maybe I'm mistaken." In short, the child was very light and not in good health. ”
"Can you remember this wrong?" Jiang Anning said suspiciously.
Her eyes were still looking at him deeply, and their deep eyes were like a fire in the thorns, burning so that people didn't dare to look at him.
But Chu Yao went straight up, didn't dodge for a minute, and said calmly: "I only care about your body, you know that child, I didn't expect it from the beginning." So, why remember her things?"
His explanation was impeccable, so that Jiang Anning could not find anything wrong.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are like a thorn in the flesh, and it is difficult to eradicate them without digging up the flesh and bleeding.
What's more, from the bottom of her heart, she had long distrusted Chu Yao.
She didn't believe everything he said, unless, she had enough evidence to prove that what he said was true.
"Okay, but I'd love to see my kids, I can walk down the ground now. Can you let me go see her? I want to go see her. Jiang Anning demanded.
Chu Yao said: "Yes, of course there is no problem. However, your body is still very weak now, and I am afraid it will be a little difficult to walk over, so let's go over in two days!"
"Wouldn't it be okay to find a wheelchair to push me over? It's all in the same hospital, and it's not thousands of miles away, isn't it so troublesome?" Jiang Anning said.
Chu Yao said: "It's not trouble, it's ......." ”
"Since it's not a trouble, take me over and stop talking nonsense. If you explain it to me, I will only think that you don't want me to see my child, which makes me even more suspicious that my child is no longer there. Jiang Anning clenched his fists, and his eyes showed fierceness.
For example, once Chu Yao admits that the child is gone, she will immediately fight with Chu Yao.
Chu Yao said: "How is it possible, the child is staying in the incubator, how can it be gone." Why, you still don't believe me?"
"It's unbelievable. Jiang Anning said: "Do you think I will still believe you after going through so many things?"
"Well, I can't help if you don't believe me. In fact, there is one thing I have never told you, and now that you have to see this child, I can only tell you the truth. Chu Yao sighed.
Jiang Anning's heart tightened, and he immediately clenched his fists and asked nervously, "What's wrong with the child?"
"The child did have a problem, because she was born prematurely, and her heart and lungs were not sound. He was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at birth. The doctors are only trying their best to treat her now, but she is too young for even the doctors to guarantee whether they can cure her. Even if she saves her life now, there is no guarantee that she will be able to feed her. So, I don't want you to see this kid. No, she's just a nihilistic figure to you. But once you see her, if you can't feed her, I'm afraid you'll be even more sad. ”
"Whether it will be more sad is my business, Chu Yao, when will you have a word of truth in your mouth. You've never told me that this kid has a heart condition, and now you've suddenly told me she has a heart attack. Do you want me to see her, or do you mean she's ...... It's no longer there, and you're just stalling for time. ”
Jiang Anning gritted his teeth angrily, and his heart was torn a little bit.
Maybe her guess was true, that child was no longer there, and Chu Yao was just delaying her now.
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Anning couldn't wait to die with him.
Even if you don't have a chance to be reborn, it's not necessarily a bad thing to end up like this.
"An Ning, when will you trust me. Chu Yao said helplessly.
Jiang Anning said angrily: "When will you tell the truth?"
Let her believe in him, or at least he can be trusted.
But from beginning to end, he kept lying to her.
With his attitude, he still expects her to trust?
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.
Chu Yao sighed lightly and let the person who knocked on the door come in first.
"President. "The person who came in was Zhou Yi.
Chu Yao saw Zhou Yi and asked in a deep voice, "Something?"
"This is a document, please sign it. Zhou Yi took out a piece of information and gave it to Chu Yao.
Chu Yao took it and looked at it, and signed his name on it.
Zhou Yi saw that the atmosphere between the two was not too much, and he was about to leave, but before he turned around, Jiang Anning suddenly said: "Zhou Yi, do you have a photo of my daughter on your phone?" ”
This is what Chu Yao told Jiang Anning just now, saying that he took a photo, but it was on Zhou Yi's mobile phone.
Now Zhou Yi is here.
If Zhou Yi said no, it would prove that Chu Yao was lying and lying to her.
After she finished talking to Zhou Yi, she kept staring at Zhou Yi.
Seeing Zhou Yi looking at Chu Yao, he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "I'll ask you for a photo, you see what he does." Or are you lying again, there are no pictures at all, and you are lying to me again?"
She looked at Chu Yao and asked angrily.
Chu Yao said: "How could I lie to you, I said, I didn't lie to you about this matter." Zhou Yi, show her the photo! You didn't delete it!"
"No, of course not. Zhou Yi hurriedly reacted and took out his mobile phone.
He flipped through the photo album on his mobile phone and found the photo to show Jiang Anning.
Jiang Anning took the phone and looked carefully at the child in the photo.
Chu Yao was right, this is really a very small child.
The picture taken through the glass and the incubator is very clear. But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable she became.
Because she was so small, even the smallest diaper on her body was much larger, reaching her waist. Her face is also very small, her eyes are tightly closed, and her long narrow eyeliner shows that she is a girl with big eyes. The mouth is also a little bit, pink and white, as if transparent.
Two small hands and feet, even more pitiful, really only a little big.
But just such a little old child, there should be everything. The whole little hand was only the size of Jiang Anning's thumb, but there were still small transparent nails.
As long as she thinks that this is her daughter, she only needs to look at it, and she likes this child very much.
I like it and I mix it with a lot of distress.
"I'm going to see her, and I'm going to see her now. Jiang Anning said firmly.
Regardless of whether she can support her in the future or not, she has to go to see her, even if it is only a short mother-daughter relationship with her, she has to see her with her own eyes.
"But your body is ...... now. ”
"I'm in good shape right now, and I don't have any problems standing for short periods. You push me in a wheelchair, and I must see the child right away. Jiang Anning said firmly.
Chu Yao saw that she was so determined, so he had to say, "Okay, if you have to go, I'll take you over." ”
He asked Zhou Yi to push a wheelchair over, picked Jiang Anning up, and pushed Jiang Anning over.
The children's ward is not on the first floor, so I got on the elevator and then went to the incubator on the third floor to see the children.
There was not only one of Jiang Anning's children, but also three children.
But her child was the thinnest and the smallest, a small lump, lying pitifully on the bed.
Occasionally moving her little hands and feet means that she is still alive.
Jiang Anning looked at her through the glass, her eyes were moist, and her heart was distressed and uncomfortable.
"How long will it take for her to come out of the incubator?" Jiang Anning asked.
Chu Yao said: "I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it would take at least one month. The specific time is not certain, in short, you have to wait for her weight to be close to a normal child, and then you can say that you can take her out. ”
Jiang Anning nodded.
Fortunately, a month is not a long time, and she can wait.
And this month, she can still take good care of her body. Take care of your body, so that when she comes out, you can take good care of her.
When he returned to the ward, Jiang Anning was more active in cooperating with the doctor's treatment.
Chu Yao would also come over to accompany her every day to take care of her, but although the two lived in peace for the time being, Jiang Anning knew that there was already something different.
Another month passed.
In the past month, Jiang Anning has already been discharged from the hospital and gone home, but he still insists on going to the hospital every day to see the child.
The doctor originally said that she would come out of the incubator in a month, but later said that her weight was still not up to standard, so she couldn't come out for the time being.
Although Jiang Anning was anxious, he was a little relieved to see the child gradually grow up and become richer in it, and he didn't mind waiting for a while.
In a flash, half a month is her birthday.
Chu Yao seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and asked her what gift she wanted a long time ago, and he also wanted to make a big deal.
Jiang Anning said with interest: "I don't want to do it, I don't have any acquaintances here, who do you invite?"
"You don't have to worry about the guests, there are a lot of candidates on my side. Wait for me to list a table for you, in short, just do a big job, thirty years old is a big birthday, you can't do it hastily. Chu Yao said immediately.
Jiang Anning snorted coldly: "Your candidates are all your relatives and friends, and they have nothing to do with me." On my birthday, I have to work hard and socialize, but only for your relatives and friends, I don't lose anything. I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it at all. ”
"But you don't do it now, you don't have contact with people, and when our daughter comes out of the hospital, how can you hold a 100-day banquet. Chu Yao said.
"Hundred days banquet?" Jiang Anning frowned.
Chu Yao said: "Originally, the full moon should be held, but the child is in the hospital, and the full moon is naturally not easy to do." But the 100-day banquet still has to be held, this is the custom of Yuncheng, and all children will do it. In this way, it is better for others to bring their own children over, and in the future, they will all be friends in a circle. Besides, you don't want our daughter to lose her name, do you! If you don't hold a 100-day banquet, others will definitely think that the child you gave birth to is not mine. I don't care, I guess it will be bad for the child in the future, and you don't want to do that!"
Sure enough, Chu Yao knew her weakness and suddenly pinched her cartilage.
Jiang Anning pursed his lips, but still said, "Even if you want to hold a 100-day banquet, what does it have to do with a birthday banquet?"
Chu Yao smiled and said, "You said it yourself just now, they are all my relatives and friends, and you don't know each other." This time, I will first mention warming up and getting to know each other, and this time I will know, and the next time I will hold a 100-day banquet, I will have something to say and not be detained. ”
Jiang Anning thought about it, so he agreed to come down to hold a birthday banquet.
Chu Yao was afraid that she had just given birth to a child and would be tired of handling birthday affairs if she was weak and tired, so she also found two stewards for her.
But even so, Jiang Anning was very busy.
"Do you have to make it that complicated?" Jiang Anning asked speechlessly as he looked at the long gift list.
Steward Wu sneered and said, "These are all basic, and when the time comes, our entire Chu family's old mansion will have to be refreshed again." Man, I've already invited you, so please nod. ”
"It's just a birthday, so it's so complicated. Jiang Anning pouted.
But Steward Wu said so, and she had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
What's more, Steward Wu said that this was also a special preparation to welcome the young lady home.
When I think that my little baby is coming back, I really want to make the battle bigger.
Although I prepared half a month in advance, when it came to my birthday, I was still very busy, and I always felt that there were many things that had not been dealt with.
But fortunately, many small details were not bothered.
Chu Yao looked at the grand scene, rubbed her cheeks with satisfaction and said, "Very good, Anning, you are doing a good job." ”
"Since it's my birthday, you always have to give me a birthday gift, I don't know what you're going to give me?" Jiang Anning stretched out his hand to ask Chu Yao for a gift.
The two of them have been cold and cold these days, and they can't get along like before.
That is, Jiang Anning is in a good mood today, so he is willing to make a few little jokes with him and ridicule him.
However, when she teased like this, Chu Yao was so excited, and the smile on his face rippled irrepressibly.
"Of course there are birthday presents, and I have prepared them in advance. ”
"Oh, what's that? Take it out and I'll see. Jiang Anning said.
Chu Yao pursed his lips for a moment and said, "Not yet, now let others congratulate you first, and when it is twelve o'clock, I will give you a birthday gift alone." ”
"Cut, it's so mysterious. Jiang Anning scoffed.
However, there are still some small expectations in my heart.
"Let's go in!" Chu Yao stretched out his hand and looked at Jiang Anning and said.
Jiang Anning put his hand on his hand and followed him in.
As the protagonist of this birthday banquet, Jiang Anning is naturally in the limelight.
This is the first time since she got married that Chu Yao has held this grand banquet for her.
Originally, everyone thought that after Chu Yao married Jiang Anning, they actually didn't pay attention to her. Otherwise, why have the two rarely appeared together since they got married, and after Jiang Anning gave birth to a child, they didn't even make a notice, and they didn't do any full moon wine for the child.
Even if the child stays in the incubator, but the average large family will not be completely silent when this happens.
At least the happy eggs will be sent, and guests will be invited to represent the importance of this child.
But the Chu family didn't have it at all.
So many people speculate that the Chu family is not uncommon to this child. Chu Yao didn't attach much importance to this daughter.
I don't know if it's because I don't like the child's mother, or because the child is a girl.
Everyone also inquired and said that they had given birth to a daughter, and the Chu family had not even announced the gender of the child.
But now that such a banquet has been held, let everyone know that the Chu family and Chu Yao are not completely indifferent to Jiang Anning and that child.
At least, not for Jiang Anning.
How can anyone not care about holding such a grand birthday banquet, how many famous ladies have never had this treatment.
For a time, Jiang Anning became the envy of everyone in the circle of noblewomen.
Everyone came over to greet each other.
Jiang Anning was exhausted from dealing with these noble ladies.
What's more, this banquet didn't end until eleven o'clock, and by the time all the guests were sent away, it was already eleven forty.
"Whew, it's finally gone, I'm exhausted. Hurry up and take a bath and go to bed, and I have to see the baby tomorrow. Jiang Anning breathed a long sigh of relief.
But before she could finish her breath, Chu Yao took her hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you somewhere." ”
"It's so late, where else are you going to take me?" Jiang Anning frowned, obviously unhappy.
She doesn't want to go anywhere now, she just wants to take a shower early and go to bed and have a good rest.
But Chu Yao stubbornly pulled her hand upstairs, and the two went all the way to the top floor, where there was a professional telescope on the open balcony.
Jiang Anning asked suspiciously, "What is this for?"
Chu Yao smiled and said, "You can go over and take a look." ”
Jiang Anning leaned over to look at it suspiciously, but he didn't expect that he could see the sky so clearly. The sky full of stars can be seen clearly, this kind of scene is still seen when I was a child, how many years have I not seen such a beautiful scene.
"Isn't this your birthday present for me?" Jiang Anning asked with a smile.
"Of course not, close your eyes and count down, it's almost twelve. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning looked at him suspiciously, what happened at twelve o'clock? Anyway, every day will be like this.
However, Chu Yao still held her hand excitedly, closed his eyes, and asked her to close her eyes. insisted on letting her count down with him, three-two-one.
"Knock, knock, knock. "The bell struck twelve o'clock.
Chu Yao let go of her hand and let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems that at this moment, the spring flowers are blooming, everything is clear, and everything is as desired.
Jiang Anning looked at his satisfied expression, and asked with a very puzzled sneer: "Why are you doing this? It's not the New Year's bell ringing, why are you so excited." ”
"An Ning, you don't understand. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning pouted, she really didn't understand.
"Tranquility and happy birthday. Chu Yao suddenly stretched out his hand to hug her and hugged her tightly.
Jiang Anning was about to be strangled by him, so he couldn't help but quickly beat his shoulder and said, "You let go of me, you're going to strangle me, hug me too tightly, let go of me." ”
Chu Yao was beaten twice by her, and let go of his hand with a sneer.
"Is the birthday present gone? If I'm done, I'll go to sleep, I'm really sleepy. Jiang Anning said.
"Wait, there's one more thing I didn't give you. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning was speechless and said, "Can't you take it out all at once?" It's the same for a while, and if you don't finish it, the sky will be bright." ”
Chu Yao smiled and hooked his lips and walked behind her.
He put a necklace on her from behind and put it in her ear and said, "This is the last thing, peace and happiness, this is the birthday present." ”
Jiang Anning lowered her head and looked at the pendant of the necklace, which was exactly the same as the gem that she and Chu Yao had taken a fancy to when they went to South Africa before.
It seems like I haven't seen that string of gems in a long time, but I still recognize it at a glance.
Jiang Anning couldn't help but turn his head in surprise and asked, "This is ......." ”
"Well, I finally found it, isn't it exactly the same?"
Jiang Anning nodded, and said with a low smile: "I thought that you could travel through time and space, run back and get that necklace." ”
"How is it possible, I don't have that ability. ”
"Actually, that life...... I'm still having a good time. Jiang Anning said with a smile.
In that life, she thought that it was her luck that would give her a chance to be reborn. In that life, she thought she could start over, so she worked hard, met many people, did a lot of things, and left a lot of memories.
As for the later rebirth, she was not so serious.
Because she knew that it might not be long before she would die and do it again.
In that case, it doesn't make any sense to know so many people.
Just like in this life, she has almost cut off contact with everyone, and she doesn't want to develop any of her superfluous relationships.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Chu Yao apologized.
Jiang Anning pushed him away and said, "What does it have to do with you, although I don't know why I'm like this." But these generations have come and gone, and I have my own responsibilities. Okay, it's really not early, I'm going to see the baby tomorrow, go back to sleep first. ”
"Wait, Tranquility. Chu Yao grabbed her again.
Jiang Anning said impatiently: "Are you still finished?"
If there is something you can't say tomorrow, you have to talk about it here.
"Tranquility, you have to remember, later...... No matter what happens, you have to remember that I am for your good. Chu Yao hugged her and said solemnly.
There was a slight emptiness in his solemn tone, and perhaps even he himself felt how ridiculous it was to say this.
Jiang Anning only sneered after hearing this, and did not feel at ease.
If she doesn't feel good, why should he think that everything he does is for her good?
This is simply a ridiculous fallacy.
But no matter what, Chu Yao finally let her go to rest.
After Jiang Anning took a bath, he lay down on the bed without even drying his hair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chu Yao walked in and saw that she didn't cover the quilt, so he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and covered the quilt for her.
Touching her hair was still wet, she came over with a hair dryer to blow her hair and dry her hair.
The soft jet-black hair was in his hands, like a cloud.
He remembered that he had blown her hair like this before, and that once upon a time, she was lazy and coquettish, and always liked to pester him and lean on his arms. Even though his hair was still wet, he would wet the placket of his chest.
"Ah Yao, you help me blow it, I'll let you help me blow it. ”
The bright smiling face is like the most beautiful flower in the world, gorgeous and dazzling!
"Miss Jiang, please come to the hospital immediately, child...... No more. ”
Jiang Anning packed up and was about to go to the hospital to see the baby, but when he was about to go out, he received a call from the baby's attending doctor.
Soon, the phone was hung up.
Her phone slipped to the ground.
