XXXVII. The illusion of being in a cage
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, I have already notified my friend to pick it up, don't bother. As soon as the voice fell, Chang Eucalyptus's call came in, Xiao Chongyan smiled apologetically, picked it up sideways, and Chang Eucalyptus's roaring shout broke through the microphone.
Ruan Jing leaned over and listened, Chang Yu's voice was panting, as if he was running, "I have something to do now, I can't pick you up, let's find a place to live by myself." ”
His panic could be heard through the microphone.
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Chongyan's face was extremely ugly.
Ruan Jing was quite worried, "Chang Yu will be okay with him, right?"
Xiao Chongyan looked sad, "It's okay, he is often chased, he is used to it." ”
The two of them talked for a few words, Ruan Jing looked away, Bai Su was still waiting on the side, the female secretary was standing behind her, her face was unhappy, but Bai Su looked very well cultivated, and she couldn't see the slightest impatience, and when she looked over, she smiled comfortingly, signaling that she didn't need to worry.
This is completely different from the Bai Su who exploded at one point in Ruan Jing's memory, and now he has become more mature and more incomprehensible. She didn't know if the change was good or bad, but there was something that formed a barrier between the two of them, invisible and intangible, but really there.
"Well, now let me send you. Bai Su's words seemed to be aimed at everyone, but his eyes only fell on Ruan Jing.
Xiao Wang, who doesn't look at his eyes, behaved elatedly.
Xiao Chongyan glanced at Ruan Jing's slightly embarrassed expression, he didn't know what to think, his eyes were slightly dark, he pursed his lips, and followed behind Xiao Wang.
Ruan Jing silently breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how spacious and comfortable a streamlined business vehicle is, it can't fit everyone into it in one car.
Xiao Wang consciously got into the car behind him.
The remaining few people froze in place for a while, and under the signal of Bai Su's eyes, the female secretary followed the car behind with an unhappy face.
The driver opened the co-pilot's door for the young group leader.
Bai Su straightened out the placket of his suit, turned his head to look at Xiao Chongyan, and said meaningfully: "Doctor Xiao's psychological quality is really good. ”
Xiao Chongyan also opened the door of the back seat with his backhand, signaled Ruan Jing to get in the car first, and then turned his head and replied nonchalantly: "I have seen a lot of various patients, so there is nothing worth making a fuss about." ”
Bai Su sat in the passenger seat, turned around and smiled at Ruan Jing, "I'll take you to the Haolin Hotel in the city center, where the conditions are very good and the accommodation is comfortable." ”
Xiao Chongyan shook the mobile phone in his hand slightly, and his face was cold, "It's not bothering Mr. Bai, I have already booked a room for the three of us in this hotel just now." ”
Bai Su's eyebrows and eyes instantly became gloomy.
It was rush hour, and the car drove for more than 40 minutes to reach the door of the hotel.
As soon as the car stopped, Bai Su's voice sounded, "Doctor Xiao, go slowly." When he turned to look at Ruan Jing, he instantly changed to another expression, with a little caution and a hint of forgiveness, "Xiao Jing...... You promised me to help. ”
Ruan Jing paused as he got out of the car, frowning, "Now?"
She hesitated a little, and raised her head to meet Xiao Chongyan's inexplicable gaze, the latter didn't know what he was thinking, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you have something, go first, I'll wait for you at the hotel." ”
Ruan Jing's face turned red...... What is called waiting for her at the hotel.
However, with Xiao Chongyan's consent, Ruan Jing unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment because of this "unconscious", he couldn't help but be stunned.
The car started again, and through the window, the eyes of the two men met, and then silently separated.
Shirajuku's home is not far from the hotel, but the surroundings are noticeably quieter.
Ruan Jing got out of the car and looked up, it was still the luxurious villa in his memory, and it even looked even more beautiful because of the newly painted appearance.
"Let's go, let's go in. ”
Bai Su took Ruan Jing with him, and as soon as he walked up the steps at the door, someone came to open the door, Ruan Jing thought, probably thanks to the monitor at the door.
The servant brought two pairs of slippers.
Afraid that Ruan Jing would not be able to stand still, Bai Su held her intimately.
Ruan Jing walked into the living room, recalling the lively scene in his memory, compared to the quiet of the moment, although it was not bleak, but he always felt lonely.
There was a refreshing coldness that swept over her, Ruan Jing intuitively felt that someone was staring at her, and subconsciously turned back, and saw a woman in white pajamas looking at her blankly, after the two looked at each other, the woman immediately looked away, like a wandering spirit, and quickly disappeared on the other side of the living room.
"That's Bai Qing. Bai Su said lightly behind her.
Ruan Jing opened his mouth in surprise.
She used to meet Bai Qing, when she was a sophomore, Bai Su invited her and Liang Yan to come to Kyoto to play, when she heard people call her "Miss", and secretly wondered for a while, because she had never heard Bai Su mention that she had a sister in school.
Later, I learned that Bai Qing's identity was embarrassing.
Bai Su's parents were married at a young age and had a harmonious relationship, but they never had children, and in the first few years, they tried many methods, but they never succeeded. When they went to the orphanage on behalf of Shenghe Group, they met Bai Qing, who was only five years old, and Bai's mother fell in love with this quiet little girl at a glance, so it was logical that Bai Qing entered the wealthy family as an adopted daughter.
Perhaps it was really Bai Qing who brought good luck to the family, and in the second year of her arrival, Bai Mu became pregnant with Bai Su.
But the direction of things was not satisfactory, Bai Mu, who had her own son, involuntarily ignored Bai Qing, and even after Bai Qing grew up, she gradually showed her bitter side - this was already the first hint when Ruan Jing came to be a guest.
Looking at Bai Qing's mental state now, she has obviously not had a very good time in the past few years.
Ruan Jing frowned and wanted to say something, but Bai Su held her shoulder and pushed, "Okay, leave her alone, I'll take you to the study." ”
Ruan Jing had no choice but to nod, keeping Bai Qing's recent situation in mind, thinking that when he saw her one day, he might be able to explain a thing or two.
The study was on the second floor, the door opened, and Bai Su walked in first.
I don't know if it's because the curtains inside are drawn, the whole room looks extremely gloomy, Ruan Jing stood at the door and watched, only to feel that there was a black hole inside.
"Come in, what are you doing standing in the doorway? Shirasu looked back at her strangely.
Ruan Jing realized that he had been stunned for too long, so he smiled apologetically and followed Bai Su into the study.
With a "snap", the door closed, and the inside and outside of the house were isolated into two completely different worlds, and Ruan Jing suddenly had the illusion of being in a cage.
