His gaze made Fu Qingqi unavoidable.

"I ......" she couldn't speak, her mind was very confused, her heart was heavy and panicked, she didn't know how to react for a while, and she completely lost her cool - in the face of Chen Qingzhou, she was always difficult to control her emotions.

"The child's voice on the phone that night was your son, right?" Chen Qingzhou's fingers were harder, and his doubts were all out in one go, "I've investigated them all, your Fu family doesn't have children at all, and I don't know that you have children." Are you secretly raising children outside without telling your family? Why? Dirty? Who did you have sex with? ”

When he finished the last sentence, Chen Qingzhou suddenly flashed a certain thought, which was too incredible and surprising, and made his throat suddenly feel difficult. He clenched Fu Qingci: "Where is the child?" Who is the father of the child? Isn't it-"

Before the word "I" could be spoken, he was the first to be interrupted: "The child is mine." ”

Chen Qingzhou looked.

Tan Xiao walked over and pulled Fu Qingci directly to his side.

Chen Qingzhou's hand was still holding Fu Qingci's wrist.

However, Fu Qingci's tendencies are particularly obvious, and he has been quite tired into the arms of talking and laughing.

"Let go, Mr. Chen." Tan Xiao was very displeased, "Your behavior has seriously disturbed our normal life. Maybe you don't mind spending a few days in a police station. ”

Chen Qingzhou had a cold face, ignored him, and continued to ask Fu Qingci: "Answer me?" What's going on with your child? ”

"Didn't you hear me? The child is mine. "I don't know how you found out about me and Qingci's child, but this is my own business with Qingci, so there's no need to explain it to you." ”

"Is there no need to explain, or can't you explain?" Chen Qingzhou questioned.

"I don't understand what Mr. Chen means." Tan Xiao's expression was incomprehensible, "What is Mr. Chen suspicious?" ”

Suspect what? Chen Qingzhou breathed a fierce sigh in his chest - even he couldn't believe what he suspected! And he had never thought about it before, and it wasn't until just now that all her reactions and expressions made him suddenly think.

"Chen Qingzhou." Fu Qingci raised his face from Tan Xiao's arms, as if his emotions had adjusted back, and he struggled to wrestle his hand, "It's fun to test me with the safety of the child, isn't it?!" ”

Staring at her moist eyes, Chen Qingzhou was silent and did not say a word. He admits that such an approach is indeed a bit despicable. But what about being mean? Aren't they all given B by her? Now he has really tried to find the effect he wants!

"Yes, I have a son!" After Fu Qingci withdrew his hand, he held Tanxiao's hand and stood side by side with him, "I lied to you before, the child I was carrying didn't lose it, and we finally decided to give birth." Are you satisfied? You're going to have to dig up my privacy, do you? How the are you ghostly! ”

Chen Qingzhou frowned. It doesn't make sense, a lot of questions don't make sense! If she had a child with Tan Xiao, why did she hide it and not let people know! She even gave birth to a child, and she went around three times in twists and turns, and she didn't admit it until today!

He sneered, pointed at Tan Xiao and mocked her: "Since you and he even have children, why didn't you take it out to stop me in the first place?" Would you like to sleep with me so many times? Even if I force you, you, as a mother, should have a bottom line for your own children, right-"

"Smack-", Fu Qingci was so angry that his whole face was almost deformed, "Chen Qingzhou, you are a scumbag!" ”

With hot cheeks, Chen Qingzhou didn't move for a long time, seeing that Fu Qingci was about to leave, he didn't care about any demeanor and face to chase, Rong Yi hurriedly ran over: "Second master!" Uncle Rong has an accident! ”

Chen Qingzhou froze when he landed.

……

Ten minutes ago, Ruan Shu left the mental hospital and returned to the psychological counseling room, thinking that he should find a time to meet Lin Chengzhi, so he remembered Lin Xiang's wedding, and was about to go through the invitation card that Lin Chengzhi gave her before, when the mobile phone rang.

It was Huang Jinrong who called.

"Hey, hey, girl? Can you hear me? I'm Uncle Rong! ”

His voice was very loud, almost shouting and speaking. Ruan Shu automatically made up for the appearance of him fiddling around in mid-air with his mobile phone antenna at the moment to seek a signal, knowing that he was most likely influenced by the brick mobile phone of the "Big Brother" in the past.

"I can hear you, Uncle Rong."

"Oooo It's good to hear it! Huang Jinrong's voice still did not decrease.

Ruan Shu was a little speechless, but he asked him, "What's wrong, Uncle Rong?" - He usually uses text messages to contact her, and it is rare to talk on the phone.

"I forgot to ask you if you're free now, so I'll call you directly in a hurry. Girl, Uncle Rong didn't bother you, did he? ”

"It's okay Uncle Rong, I'm free now. You just talk about it. ”

"Oh! Good! That is true! I'm not buying something on the Internet, I don't understand if I have a problem! Is it possible to click on that item and buy it? I ordered it all, and I chose the color and style, why can't I find anything when I go back? ”

Ruan Shu understood as soon as he heard it: "Uncle Rong, you click on the shopping cart, everything is in the shopping cart, you go to the shopping cart and take a look." ”

"Is the shopping cart a shopping cart? Wait for me to find out! …… Shopping cart ...... ...... shopping cart," Huang Rongwu muttered to himself, and after a moment his surprised laughter was heard, "Hey good guy! It's really all stuck in the shopping cart! ”

Ruan Shu couldn't help but slightly curve the corners of his lips.

"And then click 'settle', right?" Gold Honor.

"Hmm."

Huang Jinrong was happy when he heard this: "It seems that you young people's things are not so difficult to learn." There was a bit of smugness in his tone.

Ruan Shu followed his words and boasted: "Mmmmmmmm, Uncle Rong, you will definitely become Uncle Chao in time." ”

"That's not it, Uncle Rong, although my grades in school were not good when I was young, I learned everything other than textbooks quite quickly. I-cough-cough-cough-" Halfway through speaking, Huang Jinrong suddenly coughed violently, as if without stopping.

Ruan Shu could feel his whole body tremble from coughing through the earpiece.

"Uncle Rong? How about you? Haven't you been taking your pills? Why haven't you seen it yet? ”

"I-a-" Huang Jinrong coughed so much that he couldn't breathe to speak to her, and the staccato words were drowned out in the endless coughing sound.

Soon there was a sudden "pop", and there was a noise from the earpiece, as if his mobile phone fell and smashed to the ground, and in the background it was still Huang Jinrong's cough, and in two seconds, the movement of the chair hitting was mixed with a heavy "poof", and the cough disappeared suddenly.

"Uncle Rong!" Suddenly feeling bad in his heart, Ruan Shuhuo got up and shouted over there, "Uncle Rong!" Uncle Rong, what's wrong with you? ”

Huang Jinrong didn't respond, silently, only the phone was still on the phone.

Ruan Shu panicked and didn't waste time, hung up the phone decisively, and called the villa, as soon as the housekeeper picked it up, she immediately said, "Go to Uncle Rong's room and have a look!" Hurry up! ”

"Okay Miss!" The butler was horrified by her tone.

Ruan Shu was even more anxious than him on the other end of the phone, listening to the housekeeper's hurried footsteps, and after a while, he heard the housekeeper exclaim: "Master Rong!" ”

"Miss! Rong Ye fainted on the ground! "The housekeeper was busy reporting the situation.

With a sigh in his heart, Ruan Shu calmly advised: "Send it to the hospital!" Hurry to the hospital! I'll call your second master now! ”

……

Because of the inconvenience, Ruan Shu didn't go to the hospital, and Chen Qingzhou's meaning was to let her stay and wait for the news first, maybe it was just a false alarm. But all afternoon, she was anxious, unable to do anything else, waiting and waiting, it was almost dark, and she had never received news from Chen Qingzhou.

In the end, Ruan Shu still couldn't hold back and took the initiative to call Chen Qingzhou.

Chen Qingzhou picked it up for a long time, and there was a tiredness in his voice: "Xiao Ruan." ”

Intuition made Ruan Shu uneasy: "What's the situation with Uncle Rong?" What do doctors say? ”

Chen Qingzhou was silent for a moment and replied, "Lung cancer." ”

The words smashed into his ears, and the tip of Ruan Shu's heart trembled slightly: "How can it be lung cancer?" Didn't Uncle Rong say that you arranged for him to go to the hospital for a physical examination because of a cold before? Didn't you find out the problem at that time? ”

Chen Qingzhou was a little weak: "At that time, I was originally going to Rong Yi to get the physical examination report, and I was catching up with you during that time...... Just in time for you to be taken away by Lan Qin, something happened. Uncle Rong hid the physical examination report by himself, and only said to us that he was coughing because of chronic pharyngitis. I just saw the doctor, and the doctor said that he had been advised to be hospitalized earlier, but he was unwilling and only asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for him. Results ......"

I saw Huang Jinrong coughing more than once, and I also saw him coughing once She asked once, but I didn't expect him to lie all the time?! Ruan Shu listened to a burst of anger in his heart. Putting down her emotions, she asked, "What is the specific condition ......?"

"Medium-term." Chen Qingzhou's tone was slightly mocking, "The doctor said that when the last physical examination was just checked, it was not the same situation as it is now......

Immediately, his tone could hear a hint of self-comforting happiness: "At least I wasn't dragged to the late stage by Uncle Rong......"

There is almost no possibility of treatment in the advanced stage...... Ruan Shu's hands were clenched tightly, barely restraining the discomfort of penetrating the heart.

In an instant, Chen Qingzhou regained his spirit and said, "The doctor will draw up a treatment plan soon." Let's see what the doctor will say in detail tomorrow. ”

Ruan Shu was entangled for a while, glanced at the darkening night outside the window, and hesitated: "I still want to meet Uncle Rong......"

Chen Qingzhou pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Then come on, just in case, you should go to the nurse's station to find Nurse Zhang first." The news of Uncle Rong's hospitalization will definitely spread within Qingbang, and it may be fine tonight, but from tomorrow onwards, many people should come to visit one after another, and you must avoid it. ”

……

went to the hospital, according to Chen Qingzhou's request, Ruan Shu first went to the nurse's station to change into a nurse's uniform, and then went to Huang Jinrong's ward.

Nurse Zhang took her and left.

Chen Qingzhou didn't seem to tell him in advance that she would come, and as soon as Ruan Shufu took off his mask, Huang Jinrong's expression was stunned: "Girl, why are you ......?"

Turning his head, he raised two eyebrows, and was angry at Chen Qingzhou like a child: "Who told you to tell the girl?!" I'm not good! ”

"What's good?!" Ruan Shu snatched the words, threw the mask in his hand on his bed with a cold face, "I am over half a hundred years old, and I still don't know how to hide it when I am sick!" Do you think that's a big deal?! ”

Xu had never seen her lose her temper so much, Huang Jinrong was suddenly like a deflated ball, and his momentum in the face of Chen Qingzhou was gone, he looked at her cautiously, and after thinking for a moment before muttering aggrievedly: "I don't always take medicine every day according to the doctor's instructions......"

"What kind of medicine can you take medicine! Surgery! Did you know about surgery? "It's been a long time since I've been so angry! Ruan Shu took a heavy breath and said angrily, "This is lung cancer, it's cancer!" You think that the ordinary cold and flu are still hidden! Don't say anything like you don't want to worry us! If you are sick, you should treat it in time! What now? Did you take your medicine on time make your condition better? It's all dragged on to this point! ”

Huang Jinrong's neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Chen Qingzhou, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, opened his mouth, and was also very unhappy: "You are the only one who can cure you with Xiao Ruan." ”

Hearing this, Huang Jinrong looked at Chen Qingzhou, then at Ruan Shu, and muttered: "You brothers and sisters are now breathing out of one nostril, and it's my fault left and right." ”

"It's your fault." Ruan Shuding was a little merciless.

Huang Jinrong was quiet for a moment, and snorted his lips: "Actually...... No big deal...... Even if I really—"

"Don't say it, you can rest." Anticipating what he wanted to say, Chen Qingzhou suddenly interrupted and advised, "The only thing we ask of you in the coming days is to cooperate with all the treatments. ”

"There is no room for negotiation." Ruan Shu answered, and seemed to have a very tacit understanding with Chen Qingzhou.

"Do you want me to rest now?" Huang Jinrong stared at Ruan Shu, "But girl, you just came, and I haven't even spoken a few words to you." ”

"I'm not here to chat with you and affect your rest." Ruan Shu grimaced.

Chen Qingzhou sang and harmonized with her: "And Xiao Ruan is not suitable for staying here for a long time." ”

Huang Jinrong had nothing to say when he heard this.

Uncle Rong stepped forward to help him and let him lie back on the bed.

Huang Jinrong was going to say goodbye to Ruan Shu, but when he saw Ruan Shu coming over, he pulled up the quilt, and then sat down in the chair next to the bed: "Uncle Rong, you rest, I'll wait for you to sleep before leaving." ”

"Good girl...... Huang Jinrong was naturally happy, his expression was quite moved, and he shook his head in an instant, "Don't be, girl, you should go back soon, it's too late and it's not safe." ”

"Then you go to sleep quickly." Ruan Shu's tone was strong and unmistakable, "You go to sleep quickly, I'll leave early." ”

Gold Rong immediately closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Rong Yi couldn't help but smile and made a gesture of praise to Ruan Shu.

Ruan Shu couldn't laugh, and glanced at Chen Qingzhou silently with a heavy heart.

Chen Qingzhou's expression was also very solemn, and he walked solemnly to the living room outside.

Not long after, Ruan Shu also went out to the living room.

Chen Qingzhou stood alone in front of the window, his back was heavy, and he also showed irrepressible exhaustion.

The carpet was soft and there was no sound to step on it. Ruan Shu stopped at a distance of about two steps diagonally behind him.

Chen Qingzhou said slowly: "Do you know why Uncle Rong knew that you would be unhappy before, or lied to you to go on a blind date?" ”

Ruan Shu didn't speak, waiting for his next step.

"I'm the one who bothered you. Uncle Rong blamed me for hanging myself on the tree of Qingci, worried that our Chen family would be extinct, so he used you to indirectly B me. He said that if I don't give him a grandchild, he can only find a partner for you. ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled, both lonely and self-blaming: "I used to think that as he grew older, he might be as eager as ordinary parents hugged their grandchildren." Now it suddenly dawned on him that his anxiety was perhaps more due to the fact that he had learned of his condition. ”

"I think I might be really unfilial. For such a long time, he did not take back what originally belonged to the Lin family from Lu Zhenhua, nor did he pass on the Lin family to the next generation. When I received a call from you telling me that Uncle Rong had an accident, I was still pestering Fu Qingci. ”

Ruan Shu frowned very lightly: "You...... What happened to Officer Hefu? ”

"Nothing. It's just that I accidentally found out that she seems to have a son. I used some despicable means to confirm it today. Chen Qingzhou said lightly.

Ruan Shu's eyelids jumped imperceptibly—he ...... ...... know about Yan Xi's existence?

The next moment, I heard Chen Qingzhou laugh at himself: "For a moment, I actually suspected that her son might be mine. I've only heard it once over the phone, and I don't even know any information about her son, but I have this almost ridiculous thought, I probably really want the child to go crazy......"

Ruan Shu's hands were clasped in front of him, his fingers clenched unconsciously, and Yan Xi's appearance appeared in front of him.

"How much can happen in 10 years, how much can change...... Fu Qingci is seriously living her own life, moving forward, only I am still stagnant and holding on to the past, I may not be obsessed, I am too obsessed, I am unwilling......"

Chen Qingzhou sighed lightly and turned around: "I think, I really should think about my marriage." It can be regarded as adding some joy to Uncle Rong. In fact, Uncle Rong had recommended the daughter of the Great Elder to me before. ”

"You were also in Jingfeng at that time, and you attended the funeral of the previous Great Elder, I don't know if Ling Yuan has ever told you a little about the Elders' Council. Now among the five elders of the Council of Elders, only the Great Elder who was elected by the original Second Elder remains, and because of the dying entrustment of the previous Great Elder, he still has old feelings for our Chen family. It is very necessary to consolidate this feeling. ”

The content of the conversation actually involved the internal affairs of Qingbang, but Ruan Shu did not notice it.

"Does it have to be like this?" She frowned, "You are not only irresponsible for yourself, but also irresponsible for other girls." Do you men's hegemony have to go through such a way? If you want to sacrifice marriage and love, then you are really a wreck. ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled: "Xiao Ruan, I thought that in your values, you should agree with this way. ”

Ruan Shu was slightly stunned.

"It's not sacrificing marriage." Chen Qingzhou's expression converged, showing a kind of indifference and coldness rarely seen on his face, "This is the simplest bundle of interests. To some extent, there are also checks and balances. ”

Ruan Shu was silent. She found that what Chen Qingzhou had just said was not wrong, and in her values, it was right to agree with this way. Looking back on the past, what did she do for the development of the Lin family from the perspective of interests? If you want to talk about marriage, didn't she also sell herself to Fu Lingyuan at the beginning?

But now, she actually subconsciously thinks that marriage and love should not be sacrificed......

Marriage and Love......

Before she knew it, her concept of marriage and love had changed......

And this change is all because of ...... Fu Lingyuan.

Fu Lingyuan......

As soon as the name flickered, the thoughts that she had forcibly suppressed in her heart surged uncontrollably - I hadn't seen him for days...... She couldn't resist calling him even on the phone, and she didn't know how he was recovering from his injuries now...... Moreover, she has really encountered a lot of annoyances lately......

"It's almost time, it's time for you to go." Chen Qingzhou raised his wrist to look at his watch at this time, "I'm sorry for accidentally pulling you to say so much." ”

Ruan Shu pulled back to his senses, stared at Chen Qingzhou with complicated eyes for a few seconds, and finally chose to suppress his full heart - Yan Xi's existence should not be revealed by her. Nope...... She can't manage this, she shouldn't care, she can't control it.

"Then I'll go first." Looking at the door of the inner room where Huang Jinrong was, she put on her mask again and left the room.

Take the elevator down to the floor where the nurses' station is located. After the elevator door opened, I didn't expect to meet Li Qing head-on.

Fortunately, it was Li Qing, Ruan Shu was thinking about things in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to the environment around him.

Li Qing recognized her at first sight, stared at her exposed eyes outside the mask, smiled, and didn't say hello, because there were other amateurs standing outside who were waiting for the elevator like him.

Ruan Shu just blinked, then got out of the elevator and walked his own way, not forgetting to tighten his mask and walk with his head slightly down, for fear of accidentally meeting someone again.

When I went back to the nurse's station and found Nurse Zhang to say hello, and was about to go to the locker room to change clothes, the mobile phone in my pocket vibrated coldly.

The caller ID on the screen is chestnut green.

After a stagnation of breath, Ruan Shu instantly looked around like a thief, quickly looked around, and then walked to the corner to pick it up, instinctively lowering the volume: "Hey." ”

Sure enough, Fu Lingyuan's voice came from the other end of the earpiece: "Are you in the hospital?" ”

"Hmm." Ruan Shu lowered his gaze, his eyes fixed on his neatly side-by-side feet—it must have been Li Qing telling him.

"Come up and visit me before you leave." Fu Lingyuan said.

Well? Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment, and the reason in her mind was unusually sober and directly conveyed to her that she had to refuse decisively, but the words she came out of her mouth became: "Have you arranged it clearly?" ”

"Hmm. Come up with confidence. Fu Lingyuan chuckled lowly, and didn't forget to remind her at the end of his life, "Don't make a mistake, you come directly to my ward, not the thirteenth ward." ”

"I know." Knowing that he couldn't see through the phone, Ruan Shu still glared.

Even though he reassured her to go up, she kept an eye on it cautiously and pretended to carry a medical tray.

When he arrived at the floor where his ward was located, Li Qing was waiting at the elevator door, bowed down and made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile: "Sister Ruan, the boss is waiting for you in the room." "It looks like a shopkeeper who greets business.

In fact, I can't find the slightest mistake in this, and although Ruan Shu's face is not thick, it has never been thin, at least it will not be easily embarrassed, but at this moment, I always feel a little weird when I listen to the words, and my ears are uncontrollably hot.

Before, it was obviously full of bodyguards, very strict, but tonight there was no one.

With suspicions, Ruan Shu followed Li Qing into Fu Lingyuan's hospital room and walked along the corridor.

The door inside was deliberately open there. As soon as the party reached the door, she met her eyes with Fu Lingyuan, who was sitting on the nursing bed.

She stopped, looking at her carefully from such a distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart—he couldn't have looked much better today than last time.

"Not coming in?" The corners of Fu Lingyuan's mouth curled into a somewhat evil smile that she was very familiar with.

Ruan Shu also smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to walk inward.

As soon as she took two steps, she found that Fu Lingyuan was not the only one in the room, she was stuck, and her soft gaze was even sharper, and she fell on the woman on the sofa.

Needless to say, it's Xiaoya.

But she didn't know if she was asleep or what, she lay there with her eyes closed, silent.

Ruan Shu stood still, his expression cold.

But I heard Fu Lingyuan instruct Li Qing at this time: "Take her to the outside world first." ”

Li Qing immediately stepped forward, carried the unconscious Xiaoya to the wheelchair, then pushed it out and closed the door for them.

Only then did Ruan Shu move his gaze back to Fu Lingyuan's face: "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you have to stand there and talk to me?" Fu Lingyuan beckoned to her.

Ruan Shu didn't move: "You explain it clearly first." ”

Fu Lingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Li Qing gave her sleeping pills." She won't wake up for a while. ”

Ruan Shu sighed in his chest: "Is it that if Li Qing hadn't met you, and you hadn't asked me to come up temporarily, she would have been here all night tonight?" ”

"She's been here for the last two or three nights. But it's all here in this state. Fu Lingyuan smiled, "It's all about preparing for you to come back smoothly." I didn't expect that I hadn't looked for you yet, so you came here by yourself today. ”

Ruan Shu twisted his eyebrows, I don't know if his IQ has dropped, I feel that I understand what he means, but I don't seem to understand it all.

"Come on, don't waste our rare meeting time for someone who doesn't matter." Fu Lingyuan frowned unhappily.

After a pause of two seconds, Ruan Shu finally moved, his expression did not slow down much, and he continued to ponder in his heart, ready to ask a clear question.

However, Fu Lingyuan didn't give her a chance at all, and before she could fully walk to the bed, he reached out and dragged her over.

Ruan Shu immediately sat down on the bed.

Fu Lingyuan put one hand around her waist, and kissed her without saying anything.

The force of the fall is almost fierce and irresistible, dense, as if it wants to devour her, as if it is biting like nothing, as if it is relieving some long-suppressed emotion.

Ruan Shu was enveloped by his breath, and the hand pressing on his chest stopped the action that was about to push him away, and instead took the initiative to wrap around his neck and respond to him enthusiastically.

Five minutes later, the two sat together on the nursing bed.

She leaned on his shoulder.

He wrapped his uninjured arm around her.

Her forehead rested against his chin, rubbing her hand actively, feeling the tingling sensation of his stubble, and her palm covering his heart, feeling his heartbeat.

Each other breathed, adjusted their breathing, and quietly, no one spoke.
