Chapter XXII. Just be friends

Qu Ruoning was worried that something would happen to Shen Rulan, and Qu Qingying couldn't cope with it alone, so she temporarily moved back to Qu's house.

Shen Rulan was far stronger than they imagined, and went to work as usual on Tuesday. Maybe she expected it and was mentally prepared to be so calm when she accepted it.

Qu Ruoning had just been working for a short time, and she hadn't even had a probationary period yet, so she shouldn't take too long to ask for leave, so she went to work.

After work in the afternoon, Qu Ruoning called Qu Tao and wanted to ask him out to talk.

In the teahouse, the father and daughter sit on opposite sides.

Qu Ruoning looked at Qu Tao, he was in his early fifties, his temples were a little pale, but he was very energetic, his temperament was elegant and calm, and he looked like he was about forty.

"Dad, do you really want to divorce your mother for that woman?" Qu Ruoning asked in a deep voice.

"Xiaobao is still young, he needs a complete home." Qu Tao took leave for the past two days, and he stayed in front of Xiaobao's hospital bed, and the child had a high fever for several days, which made him soft-hearted.

Qu Ruoning's heart cooled when she heard this, she and Qingying have been his daughter for more than 20 years, and the relationship between her mother and him for so many years is not as good as the son that the woman outside gave him.

"He needs a complete home, so have you ever thought that Qingying and I and Mom, Dad, eccentricity is not so biased, are you fascinated by that woman?" Qu Ruoning suppressed her emotions, her voice was a little hoarse and questioned, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Ruoning, is this the attitude you have when talking to your father?" Qu Tao's thick eyebrows twisted.

"Is that your attitude as a father?" Qu Ruoning bit her lip and asked.

Qu Tao was silent, Qu Ruoning restrained her emotions and softened her voice: "Dad, I beg you, don't let this family break up, Mom, Qingying and I all need you, you think about the relationship between Mom and you for more than 20 years, you apologize, admit your mistake with Mom, she will forgive you." ”

"Ruoning, I'm sorry." Qu Tao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "You are all adults, Xiaobao needs me more." ”

Qu Ruoning looked coldly at her father who said this, her heart was completely cold, she took out two bills from her bag, put them on the table, calmed down and said: "Dad, what that child needs is none of my business, but I can tell you clearly, if you still want me to call you Dad, go back and admit your mistakes to Mom." ”

After finishing speaking, Qu Ruoning got up and walked out of the teahouse quickly.

negotiated with her father, Qu Ruoning did not tell Qu's mother and Qingying.

The family continued to be depressed for a period of time, and gradually turned to calm, Qu Tao never went home again, she had already said it so desperately that day, but I didn't expect my father to be obsessed.

Ruo Ning knows that her mother seems to be calm, but in fact, she has not been able to sleep peacefully lately, and she often hears her waking up in the middle of the night and turning on the TV in the living room.

In less than half a month, Qu's mother has lost most of her weight.

On this day, Qu's mother suddenly asked Ruoning to call Ren Shaochen to eat at home, and Ruoning followed her wishes and asked Ren Shaochen to come over.

After the meal, Qu's mother asked Ruoning and Ren Shaochen to go home, saying that she was fine.

Qu Qingying also said that she would take care of her mother, and also let Ruoning rest assured that she would go home with Ren Shaochen.

Ruo Ning couldn't rest assured, but she was worried that Qu's mother would see that there was something wrong with her and Ren Shaochen, so she could only agree.

In the evening, Ren Shaochen sent Qu Ruoning back.

"I'm sorry to get you involved these days." Qu Ruoning rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

"You've told me many times these days xiexie and sorry, do we really need this?" Ren Shaochen glanced at her and sighed lightly: "Ruoning, as you said, we are not husband and wife anymore, but we don't have any deep hatred, at least we can be friends, aren't we?" ”

Qu Ruo condensed her eyes, this was indeed what she said when she rushed Ren Shaochen out that night, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Of course we can still be friends." ”

Others say that after divorce, only if the husband and wife have never had a relationship, can they become friends calmly.

Qu Ruoning didn't know what Ren Shaochen thought when she said that, anyway, she was slightly sour when she heard it. She is such an extremely contradictory person sometimes, obviously she once thought that they might be friends, but it is another thing to really become friends.

Maybe it was in the years with Ren Shaochen that he was repeatedly injured and repeatedly healed himself, forming a shell of self-protection, always thinking about the worst outcome in his heart, and letting himself accept it as a lighter injury. In fact, when the pain comes, the self-protective shell can't resist half a point at all.

"Our affairs, you find the right opportunity to talk about it, don't rush it." Ren Shaochen proposed very considerately.

"If I don't say it all the time, won't it delay you in finding a girlfriend." Qu Ruoning made a joke.

Ren Shaochen didn't answer while driving, and only after a long time did he say: "I won't look for it." ”

Qu Ruoning looked at him sideways, almost wanting to be amorous Ren Shaochen didn't look for it because of her, she came back to her senses and said with a light smile: "If you don't look for it, I still have to find the next home, wait for this while, Mom's mood calms down." ”

Ren Shaochen frowned, no squeak.

The car slowly slowed down and pulled over.

Qu Ruoning opened the car door, said zaijian, and stepped out of the car with one foot.

"Are you really that anxious?" Ren Shaochen grabbed Qu Ruoning's wrist and asked in a low voice.

Qu Ruo froze, reacted, and then smiled, still joking: "Of course, a woman's youth is very limited. ”

Ren Shaochen clenched Qu Ruoning's wrist, then didn't say anything, let it go, and said in a low voice: "Good night." ”

Qu Ruoning replied goodnight, got out of the car and walked towards the community.

These days, Qu Ruoning is also exhausted, such a big event happened at home, she never slept well, she always felt a little relieved when she returned to her nest, and fell asleep when she lay in bed.

Except for Dad Qu not coming home, everything else seems to have not changed from before, and half a month has passed in a flash.

September is here, Qu Qingying has to go back to school again, and after sending her off on the plane, Ruo Ning wanted to move back to live with Qu's mother, but Qu's mother rejected it as soon as she proposed it.

"It's not the right couple to be separated like this." Shen Rulan's own marriage failed, of course, I hope Ruoning will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Shaochen and I are fine."

"How can it be okay, I see that you haven't paid much attention to Shaochen for a while, men can't be snubbed more than women, how can you do it if you don't pay attention." Shen Rulan sighed after speaking, and felt that her marriage had failed like this, where could she be qualified to educate her daughter, so she said again: "I took a leave of absence, I will go to the countryside tomorrow, your grandfather said that your great-grandfather's health has gradually not been good recently, I have taken care of it for a while, and I should also relax." ”

The countryside that Shen Rulan said is the suburbs of S City, and the grandfather she said was her father. The Shen family regards Ruoning as their own child, and they have been intimate since childhood. And Qu Ruoning's biological mother seems to have broken the thread, Qu Ruoning has never seen her relatives over there, and she has never even heard of it.

Shen Rulan's grandfather is 98 years old, and her parents are also in their 70s, and they moved to the suburbs ten years ago because the environment is relatively close and suitable for retirement.

"I'll accompany you." Ruo Ning still didn't worry about her alone.

"No, you've only been working for less than two months, and you've asked for leave three or four times." Shen Rulan refused and went into the house to pack up her clothes.
