I also arranged the house myself. I'll go with Si Jianlian for a while to see how shameless he can be, and then come up with my own plan.
After lunch, I said goodbye to Gu Yixiao. He walked to the door and turned back to me with a smile, "In the evening, can you bring bean bags for a date?"
His tone and expression were all very funny, and they made me laugh.
"Then it depends on whether the bean bag is willing or not?" I laughed, "I have time." โ
"Okay, if I get off work early, I will go to the kindergarten gate to wait for the bean bag master, he should also have time. Gu Yi said with a smile.
I like my relationship with Gu Yixiao very much now.
Because this feeling makes me very relaxed, and there is a feeling of being loved and loved, and there is a very sweet feeling.
After work, I didn't delay and rushed to the entrance of the kindergarten. This year is the last year that Doubao is in kindergarten, so it is a large class, and it is also the last class to leave school, and only after all the children have come out, their class will line up.
Gu Yixiao put his hand on my shoulder and laughed softly: "I think it's a scenery for the two of us to stand here with a talented and beautiful appearance." โ
"Not as narcissistic as you. I said.
Doubao walked out, Gu smiled and said: "Actually, the more Doubao looks at this child, the more he looks like me, I feel that he is not Si Jianlian's child, but like my own." โ
I glanced at him: "If it was yours, you were only twenty-two years old when I conceived the bean bag, and we didn't know each other at that time." Moreover, I know very well that in marriage, I only have one man, Si Jianlian. โ
"Just kidding. Gu smiled helplessly.
I beckoned to the bean bag in the distance, and he ran towards me.
Just as he was about to throw himself into my arms, my phone rang. I gestured to Gu Yixiao and motioned for him to pick up the bean bag. Now there are too many cars in front of the school, and it is not safe to let him run on the ground. Gu Yixiao made an OK gesture to me, then walked over and picked up the bean bag.
I answered the phone, and a slightly anxious female voice came from the other end: "Tao Ran, I am Jingchen's mother." โ
"Hello, Auntie. I immediately called out.
"Looking for you today, there is something to do, is it convenient to come out and talk about it?" she said on the phone.
I didn't have a good impression of Duan Jingchen's mother at first, and I knew that she was the kind of person who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I immediately politely refused: "I'm sorry, I already have arrangements for tonight." โ
"What time are you finished, I can wait for you. She said on the other end of the phone.
"I'm sorry, I don't know when it's over, or you can just say it on the phone, I think most things can be explained clearly. I'm still smiling.
She was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time before she said helplessly, "Okay then." โ
I immediately pricked up my ears.
Although Duan Jingchen and I are divorced, because of him, no matter what time it is, I will have due respect for his family.
"Jing Chen accidentally injured his leg when he went to rescue your flight, and now the doctor said that he might have to amputate his leg, but he did not agree to the operation, saying that if he amputated his leg, he would die. I want you to persuade him to agree to the doctor's plan. Duan Jingchen's mother said on the phone.
As soon as I heard these words, I buzzed.
That day, when I knew that someone was injured in the rescuers, I was very worried, and I felt very uncomfortable, and I made a special call to ask, for fear that Duan Jingchen was injured, and he said that it was not him, it was someone else.
Now, the exact news is actually him?
I sank my mind for a moment, "How many people are injured this time?"
"He's the only one. Duan Jingchen's mother said.
I let out a sigh of relief, and my heart was heavy.
He didn't tell me the truth that day, probably because he didn't want me to worry or think about it, and now his mother told me the truth. However, the later I know, the more guilty I will feel.
"What hospital is he in? Is there only one treatment plan for the consultation now?" I asked.
Duan Jingchen's mother sighed, and then said, "It's not clear on the phone, can you meet and talk to each other?"
I glanced at Gu Yixiao and Bean Bun, who were waiting for me behind me, and said to her, "Wait a minute, I've arranged the time, I'm looking for you, where are you now?"
She gave me an address.
I searched the map and it was the cafรฉ in front of the Beijing Orthopaedic Hospital.
I walked up to Gu Yixiao, he looked at me with a wrong face, and asked, "What's wrong?" Who called?"
"Duan Jingchen was injured because of that rescue and is now in danger of amputation, his mother called me, I want to go over, are you with me, or am I going by myself?" I asked, staring into his eyes.
Gu Yixiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go with you, and let's go with the bean bun." After he finished speaking, he looked down at the bean bag and said, "You also heard Mom's words, tonight's dinner is in the soup, if you want, I can treat you to a KFC." โ
"Of course I do. Doubao said, "Uncle Duan is also very important, mom should go to see him first." โ
We didn't delay here, and went directly to the cafรฉ that Duan Jingchen's mother sent me. When I arrived, I saw her sitting by the window waiting for me.
Apparently, she was in a hurry and saw me at the first opportunity.
I walked in and went straight to her. She glanced at me, then looked at Gu Yixiao and the bean bag behind me, and said lightly, "Sit down and talk." โ
"Auntie, I called Duan Jingchen that day, and he said that it wasn't him who was hurt, so I was relieved of my heart, why did it become what it is now?" I opened my mouth first.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she knew she hadn't slept well in a few days.
"Actually, you and Jing Chen divorced, I don't have any opinion, after all, it was his fault first, but looking at the current situation, it seems that you don't want to live anymore. She didn't go straight to the point, but set her eyes on Gu Yixiao.
"That's all for this, Gu Yixiao and I are old acquaintances, and we couldn't be together because of many mishaps. Later, we also solved the misunderstanding because of the plane crash, so we are together again now. "I'm generous.
There's no need to hide this from her, anyway, with the intimacy between the two of us now, she will know sooner or later. Rather than let her guess and think about it when the time comes, I'd better make things clearer.
"Hmm. She only replied, "Anyway, it doesn't matter what reason you divorced." I'm still grateful to you. Because without you, it would be impossible for Jing Chen to come back from the army and take over his family's business. So, what happened between you and him, whether he was cheating unilaterally, or whether you are both responsible, I will not pursue it, and I don't want to ask in detail. Liu Wan went to persuade him, but he didn't listen to a word. The person I can think of is you. Jing Chenken has made a lot of changes for you, and there is no second person like this except for you. However, don't worry, I won't ask you to get back together, and I don't really want you to be my daughter-in-law. โ
I listened to her words, and I didn't know what it was like, so I was silent for a minute, and then I said to her, "Yes, which ward he is, I'll go up and persuade him." โ
"Mr. Gu doesn't mind, right?" she glanced at Gu again.
"Don't mind, Jing Chen saved the two of us at that time. He said.
She was obviously relieved when she heard our words, but she still said with a little hesitation on her face: "Now there is one more thing I want to tell you, don't mention Liu Wan after you go to see Jing Chen, the two of them seem to have an awkward quarrel." I asked Liu Wan, but Liu Wan didn't say anything, I asked Jing Chen, and Jing Chen didn't say anything. โ
"Okay, I see. I said.
No matter what I said, the thought of him having an accident because of this rescue made me feel very uncomfortable.
It would take more than ten minutes to walk from the cafรฉ to the hospital, and I asked softly on the way, "Auntie, there is something I don't understand." He is no longer in the army, how can he still participate in this rescue mission?"
I didn't want to hear the answer I guessed from her mouth.
Although he left the army, he retained the identity of a rescuer, and in the event of a major disaster in the country, and the other rescue teams did not have time for a while, they were the first echelon of alternates. Duan Jingchen's mother said, "After your plane crashed that day, they were the closest to the incident point, and they were the most economically rich." โ
I groaned and looked up to see that I had arrived at the inpatient building.
I took a deep breath downstairs and got on the elevator.
Duan Jingchen's injuries were worse than I expected, because the medical records said that the nerves had died. I first went to his attending doctor, asked him about his condition, and looked at his medical records.
Duan Jingchen's mother stood aside and immediately said when she saw that my face was not good: "If you don't have surgery again, the bones will die completely and will infect the bones above, which is life-threatening." โ
At this point, her eyes turned red again, and they were full of tears.
"I'm his mother, and I certainly don't want this to happen to my son, but now that it's like this, I hope he can save his life. In short, this kind of thing is a blessing rather than a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. However, if this operation is successful, he will also say goodbye to the industry completely. Duan Jingchen's mother said again.
As I listened to her words, my heart was unusually heavy.
When I came to the door of Duan Jingchen's ward, I mustered up the courage to push the door in.
"Having said that, I don't have surgery, I'm left to fate, and I don't need to be persuaded anymore. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and without raising his head, he said directly.
His voice was lifeless, and there was not a hint of desire to survive in it.
"It's me. I whispered, looking at him with a gentle and powerful look.
When Duan Jingchen heard my voice, he slowly raised his head, and the brilliance in his eyes appeared, and then quickly disappeared again.
"What are you doing here?" he looked at me and wrinkled his eyebrows, "Did my mother let you come?"
"That's right, your mother called me. I told him, "She thinks I'm like her, a mother, and I'll understand how she feels." โ
Duan Jingchen laughed in a low voice, and his laughter was cold.
I can probably understand how he feels. What kind of person he is? So proud, so conceited, the kind of man who can stand up to the sky by standing on the earth with his legs, and now I want to tell him that his legs are useless and he can't stand up in this life. This kind of cruelty really makes people's hearts cut.
"What can you do if you understand?" Duan Jingchen stared out the window blankly, "No mother wants her son to die, all you want to keep is her son." But what is your son's life like, are you responsible? Not to mention that a life without even legs is boring. Do I still need to live?"
"There are not many people in the world who don't have legs, so there are not many of you. If you don't want to have surgery, I've got your back. It's just that before that, you have to think about it. Once a person is dead, there is really nothing. However, as long as you live, there is hope, and with the rapid development of science and technology, what if in the near future there will be a prosthetic foot that is completely comparable to a human limb? Not to mention, you can only become a person who eats with your brain after your leg is wasted. Do you want to fight for the rest of your life? If your legs are fine, you won't be able to eat physically for another 10 years at most. "I don't show mercy, how to pierce my heart and say anything.
I can guess that there are too many people who have spoken and persuaded him in front of him during this time, so I can only go back to it. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether he can think about it. Also, I thought about a strategy to deal with it. If he does not agree to the operation, he will be forced to operate, and he can still struggle and resist after the anesthetic is beaten.
Now, I want him to live, because I really know that once dead, there may be nothing left.
Duan Jingchen looked at me, suddenly picked the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you agitating the general?"
"You can think whatever you want, anyway, you are already my ex-husband, and your life and death have a fart relationship with me. I stood up at this point, "Also, I will take your medical records and go abroad to find some experts to see if I can save them." I just asked the doctor, and your leg will only drag on for another week at most. I'd like to fight for you again. However, it is less likely that it can be treated conservatively, because this orthopedic hospital in Beijing is already one of the top ten orthopedics in the world, and the medical level is not much higher than this hospital. โ
I stood in front of him, added this sentence, and said goodbye to him.
After I walked out, several people at the door of the ward were a little dumbfounded, and Duan Jingchen's mother sighed: "I really didn't expect that there would be such persuasion." โ
"But it works, doesn't it?" I said to her, "I will take a persuasive gesture, I have already sent a message to a friend abroad, and I will transfer his medical records later, and ask him to look over there to see if there is a hospital that can solve his current problem." Don't get your hopes up too much, though. โ
"I'm really grateful that you can help Jingchen like this. Duan Jingchen's mother said.
Gu Yixiao suddenly interjected at this time: "I also asked a few friends, I know a few people in the US army, and it is estimated that they can have better medical treatment." Or in the experimental phase, I'll let you know when there's news. โ
Duan Jingchen's mother thanked us.
I originally thought that after we met, she would complain about me, but I didn't expect that she would be so open-minded and rational in this kind of thing.
"Thank you for coming, please let me know as soon as there is any news. "Duan Jingchen's mother sent us to the elevator room.
As soon as her words fell, she heard a ding-dong sound and the elevator arrived.
We took two steps forward, the elevator door opened, and a woman walked out of it, she was Liu Wan.
Liu Wan was obviously stunned when she saw me, stood there and frowned and asked, "Why are you here? You don't have to be so concerned about your ex-husband, right?"
Before I could speak, Duan Jingchen's mother said, "Liu Wan, Tao Ran was invited by me, and I want her to help persuade Jingchen." โ
Since she said so, Liu Wan didn't want to say much, but she still smiled and said: "Auntie, now that I accompany him every day and persuade him, I will definitely persuade him." You can rest assured. โ
Duan Jingchen's mother nodded with a reluctant smile.
Gu Yixiao pulled the bean bag and got on the elevator with me, and the moment the elevator door closed, I heard Liu Wan say: "Auntie, you called Tao Ran over, it really made me very embarrassed, as if I didn't have any weight in Jing Chen's heart." โ
I smiled.
Liu Wan's character as a girl is really suitable for Duan Jingchen. Both of them are the same, straight and don't beat around the bush when they speak.
Gu Yixiao also smiled and said to me, "This girl should care about Duan Jingchen very much." However, according to common sense, she is a third party who has intervened in your marriage, how can she look like a lady in the palace after seeing your face. โ
"Her appearance has created an opportunity for me to reunite with you, so I can't hate her. In my marriage to Duan Jingchen, I am not an innocent person, so I don't want to blame anyone for it. I said with a sigh.
Gu Yixiao didn't continue to talk about it, it was not too early to leave the gate of the hospital, and after driving on the road for a short while, he saw a KFC and stopped.
When he was eating, he made a few transatlantic phone calls, and chatted happily with the people on the phone in English. Because he was so loud, I sat across from him and heard a woman talking to him.
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that the woman was extroverted. She asked Gu Yixiao on the phone when she would go back to the United States, saying that she missed him very much, and then wanted to have another drink with him.
Gu Yixiao didn't digress, and directly said that he had a place where he needed her to help, and it was convenient to see if it was convenient. Yang immediately told Gu Yixiao about it. In the end, he also said that this man is like this to save me, if Duan Jingchen is not good, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. The woman immediately said that she would find a way to ask him to send her the medical records that had been examined in China.
Gu Yixiao hung up the phone, saw me looking at him with a smile, and immediately explained: "This is a friend I met when I was in school, I used to be in the same industry as him, and later went to the US army to do logistics, specializing in the rehabilitation training of injured people and the like, so she has the best surgeon in her hands." โ
I smiled: "Why are you so flustered, what's the matter between you and her?"
He waved his hand again and again and said, "This is really not true, but, to tell the truth, she seems to mean something to me, but she has never said it." Now, we are friends, good friends. โ
"Okay, don't be nervous, we've all come to this point, what should have been said has already been said, how can I not believe you. I said.
Gu Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to wipe a handful of sweat and said to me: "Look, it scared me so much that the sweat came out." โ
Gu Yixiao and I used all our contacts abroad to find a doctor at the same time, and we received replies one after another three days later. Most of the replies were the same as China's diagnosis, the only difference was Gu Yixiao's friend. She said that if it was treated according to the treatment of traditional medicine, the diagnosis would be the same as in China, and Duan Jingchen's leg would have to be amputated. However, if they use the biological therapy that they have just developed, there is a chance of cure, and the chance of cure is 30%. Ask us if we'd like to give it a try.
Gu Yixiao turned on speakerphone when she answered the phone, so I heard every word she said. After hanging up the phone, Gu Yixiao asked me: "There is only a 30% chance of cure, is it too low?" And just now she said that if the operation fails, it is very likely that the other leg will not be saved. โ
I heard all this, so after listening to Gu Yixiao's words, I have been silent.
"We can tell Duan Jingchen. I thought for a moment and said, "Let him make his own choice." โ
"What if it fails?" Gu Yixiao was more anxious than me, "With Duan Jingchen's character, he will definitely choose to take this risk." And if we had told him that there was only one way to get treatment in China, and if you had advised him these days, I think he would have agreed to amputate this leg. โ
"However, it was not his own will, it was a choice we made for him after hiding the truth. I said.
"One is the loss of a leg, but the success rate of surgery after losing that leg is 100 percent. The other is that there is only a 30% chance of saving this leg, and if it fails, you will either fill it or fill the other leg. Gu Yixiao said this, paused and said, "If I think it's sensible, I'll choose the first one." Why do you want him to take this risk?"
I stubbornly shook my head: "I'm willing to let him choose." โ
Gu Yixiao stared at me for a long time, and then said helplessly, "Okay, listen to you." In case his surgery fails, you don't blame yourself for the rest of your life. โ
"I won't. I said firmly.
Actually, I don't know if I would blame myself for the failure of his surgery.
Gu Yixiao guessed correctly, Duan Jingchen chose the most risky operation, he said: "As long as there is a 1% hope of full recovery, I will choose, not to mention that this is 30%, the rate is much higher than I expected." โ
Duan Jingchen's mother shook her head helplessly and said to me, "Thank you." I'm going to prepare for him to go abroad for treatment. โ
Duan Jingchen has worked in the army for too long, whether he is traveling abroad or going abroad for treatment, he needs to report to the relevant state departments, write an application at the same time, and wait for approval.
We came out of Duan Jingchen's hospital and were about to leave, Liu Wan suddenly came out of nowhere, she walked directly to my car, patted the car glass and said, "Tao Ran, I want to talk to you." โ
