638. I heard a smell of vinegar
See you at zero. Dust? Edge? Wen? Learn? Ruan Shu understood in her heart that it was a blind date arranged by her aunt for her daughter. She didn't want to disturb their chat, but one of the men took the initiative to stand up and greeted her familiarly from afar: "Miss Lin Er, okay." β
There was instant silence in the living room.
"Young Master Tan, hello." Ruan Shu nodded lightly and didn't bother anymore, and called the maid Qing's sister-in-law not far away over and asked in a low voice, "What about Madam?" β
"I've been in the temple since the morning."
The answer, as expected, has remained unchanged for many years. Knowing this, Ruan Shu still asked once a day, as if waiting for a different day.
"Miss Three seems to be a little wrong lately." Sister-in-law Qing stopped again, "I see that she has a bad appetite and ......retchs from time to time."
A trace of coldness flashed in Ruan Shu's eyes, and when he looked back at Sister-in-law Qing, he had already returned to calm: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I already know it." He immediately instructed Sister-in-law Qing, "Please make me stew some chicken soup and send it to my room at night." β
After a little thought, she added, "Stew more, and send her a bowl when the third lady comes back." β
Sister-in-law Qing glanced at Ruan Shu's somewhat pale face, and put down her suspicion and didn't ask more.
Ruan Shu was about to go upstairs, but after a pause, she changed her mind again and turned around to go to the Buddhist hall.
The so-called Buddha hall is actually a room at the end of the first floor.
Ruan Shu knocked lightly on the door twice.
There is no response given inside.
Ruan Shu turned the handle and pushed the door in, and suddenly the heavy sandalwood on his face.
The layout of the room is antique, in front of the exquisite Buddhist shrine cabinet, a middle-aged woman in green clothes knelt on the futon with her back straight, twisted a large string of Buddhist beads in her hand, closed her eyes, her lips moved, and she said something, as if she did not notice Ruan Shu's arrival.
Ruan Shu leaned on the door, looked at her for a while, and after a while, he paced to the front of the Buddhist shrine, picked up three incense sticks, put the incense sticks together and lit them on the candle, and then lowered his head slightly, respectfully holding the incense on his forehead, thinking about the child who flowed out of the operating room.
Three seconds later, she straightened up again and inserted the incense into the incense pot. Immediately, she turned around, looked at the woman in Tsing Yi head-on, and smiled shallowly, "I have added two more sins today. β
The woman in Tsing Yi did not respond.
Ruan Shu took two steps closer to her: "It's been ten years, aren't you tired?" β
The woman in Tsing Yi didn't say anything.
"Actually, you're doing it for nothing. Those things that happened happened just happened, and they can't be erased. Ruan Shu's tone was very gentle, and a smile appeared on his lips, "You recite the scriptures for a lifetime, and I will create a lifetime of sin." And I'll live longer than you. A more effective solution would be to kill me directly, how about it? β
The woman in Tsing Yi was unmoved.
Ruan Shutian's dry lips seemed to be not very interesting, so he didn't continue, put the hair scattered around his ears back behind his ears, brushed her past, opened the door and walked out, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not give up the company to my uncle." I haven't had enough of it. β
The door closed, and the quiet room was restored, and the woman in Tsing Yi opened her eyes, stared at the three incense sticks newly inserted by the incense ding, and then closed them again, twisting the Buddha beads more quickly.
Outside, Ruan Shuli stayed by the door for two or three seconds before walking back along the corridor, and when she passed the bathroom, she suddenly reached out with an arm and grabbed her arm and pulled her in and pressed her against the wall.
Ruan Shu's eyes quickly pressed the other party's face that was about to be pressed down, and he didn't smile: "Young Master Tan, shouldn't you go on a blind date with my cousin in the living room?" β
"Jealous?" Tan Fei picked up a lock of her hair lightly and sniffed it, "I just saw you being so cold to me, I thought Miss Lin Er you had a bad memory and had forgotten me." β
Ruan Shu's arm was always between the two, hiding the true emotions in his eyes, and smiled: "I thought it was you Young Master Tan who forgot me, and I haven't heard from you for a month." As soon as I appeared, I was on a blind date with my cousin. You should know that I have a sensitive relationship with my eldest uncle's family, and in this case, our previous negotiations can be regarded as a complete breakdown. β
"Who said it was broken?" Tan Fei's expression was ruffian, and then explained: "I had something at home that day, and I was temporarily called to the UK by my Lao Tzu, and today's blind date was also arranged by my mother, where would I look down on that cripple?" The conditions I gave you are still valid. β
Tan Fei grabbed Ruan Shu's hand, kissed her lightly on the back of her hand, and said meaningfully, "Are you free tonight?" I can ask you to come out again, and we can discuss everything between us. β
Ruan Shu withdrew his hand in disgust and sneered: "Young Master Tan, do you treat me Ruan Shu as a fool?" You're the one who has a bad memory, right? I haven't settled the account with you for drugged my wine that night! β
If it weren't for Tan Fei's medicine, she wouldn't have ...... that night
"If you're willing to do it, will I need that?" Tan Fei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and said with a hippie smile, "Didn't I leave before I had time to touch you in the end?" β
He didn't have time, but others took advantage of it! Listening to Tan Fei's tone, did he really not know at all? So what was the man that night......
Annoyed in his heart, Ruan Shu pushed Tan Fei away: "Yes...... Then I should really thank Young Master Tan. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again next time. I'm afraid that the people in the living room have been waiting for a long time, and you should go out. β
"What do you mean? What do you mean to work together next time? Tan Fei immediately pulled Ruan Shu's wrist, "Isn't your family's financial problem still unsolved?" β
With discomfort in his wrist, Ruan Shu frowned very lightly and said calmly, "It's not solved yet." But I have another way. β
"Hooked up with a new love?" Tan Fei's expression was ugly.
Ruan Shu smiled on his lips: "This doesn't bother Young Master Tan's heart, right?" However, we can't buy and sell, and we will still be friends in the future, not to mention that you may soon become relatives with me. β
"You-"
"Young Master Tan, are you in there?" The door of the bathroom was suddenly knocked by the maid from the outside, "Miss, let me ask if you are in trouble?" β
Tan Fei grimaced and replied angrily: "I'm fine." I'll be out right away. β
Ruan Shushu leaned silently against the wall behind the door, always smiling politely and detachedly, just like a thorny rose when he first met her.
After more than a month of emptiness and grievance, and the meat has not yet entered his mouth, how can he be willing? Tan Fei snorted coldly: "I want to see what else you can do!" β
After speaking, he opened the door and walked out, "slamming" the door shut.
Ruan Shu walked to the sink, smeared a thick layer of hand sanitizer, and carefully washed his hands twice, especially on the back of his hand. After rinsing it off, she drew two or three tissues, slowly wiped the water stains, and then looked up at her beautiful face in the mirror, hooked her lips mockingly, and then opened the bathroom door.
As soon as she stepped out, she was defenseless, and a heavy slap hit her in the face with a sharp palm wind.
In the backlight, his silhouette became more and more rigid and distinct. His entire tall figure shrouded in, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
If it were another woman, she might be shocked by his low pressure at this moment. Ruan Shu stood calmly and did not move, but because of his approach, he could smell the smoke on his body and on him more and more clearly.
As tough and tough as he is now.
"But third brother, why do you agree to be used by me?" She asked rhetorically, blankly in her eyes.
"Why do you think that?" Fu Lingyuan also asked rhetorically.
Ruan Shu touched his cheek and muttered, "Anyway, I definitely don't look up to my face like everyone else." You used to hate me so badly. β
Looking at her pretended unconfident expression, Fu Lingyuan laughed: "A little self-aware." β
Hearing this, Ruan Shu breathed a sigh of relief very obviously, and smiled at him with a reassuring smile: "With the words of the third brother, I can accept the third brother's busyness just now." β
Fu Lingyuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't seem to say that I was used by you for free?" β
"The third brother has become very different from before." Ruan Shu's words were a bit wrong.
Fu Lingyuan didn't think she was changing the topic, and waited silently for her later text.
Sure enough, her next sentence was: "In the past, every time the third brother fought with someone outside, I and Xianyang hid it, and I bought you bone-setting medicine several times." Now the third brother can completely cover us little ones. β
When she said this, she not only smiled, but also showed a look of adoration similar to that of a little girl, intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, her real purpose was not to compliment him, but to set up an old relationship, secretly reminding him that she had also him many times.
Fu Lingyuan squinted slightly.
Ruan Shu felt as if her body was bound by his gaze at this moment, and all she could do was continue to smile.
There was a vibrating sound of a mobile phone coming out at this time.
Fu Lingyuan took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and glanced at it.
"Third brother, you are busy beforehand. I didn't drink alcohol and was able to drive myself. Ruan Shu was considerate and polite, and finally did not forget to say again, "Let Xianyang contact you another day, let's give you the third brother together, and express my gratitude to you for today's matter." β
Fu Lingyuan held the still vibrating mobile phone in his hand, stared at Ruan Shu silently, and then whispered coldly: "Do you like to take the initiative to treat men like this now, and then play Yu to capture and indulge?" Or just kick it aside when you're done using it? β
not only mocked, but also seemed to look down on her. This tone and attitude made her remember Fu Lingyuan a little bit ago. always likes to sneer at her. She couldn't get used to seeing him in the hooligan pile all day long. The initial feud between the two is a bit like pride and prejudice.
Ruan Shu laughed instead of being angry when he heard this: "I thought that there was no need to get close to me and the third brother. It's me who is abrupt. As for Yu Zong Yi's words...... she lowered her eyes, brushed the hair around her ears, raised her eyes again, and retorted, "Didn't the third brother just praise me for being self-aware?" Why was I captured by Yu and indulged by me? β
The mobile phone stopped vibrating, and Fu Lingyuan's dark eyes were deep, and he seemed to have a cold smile: "Your mouth is still as clever and eloquent as before." β
"Third Brother Xie compliments." Ruan Shu smiled and curryed favor - this just got out of the box, she didn't dare to immediately cross the river and tear down the bridge to be unhappy with him, Fang Cai's sentence of "clever words and good arguments" was refuted by her after carefully considering his psychological bottom line, and if she prided a little more, she really couldn't say it anymore.
At the end of her life, she didn't forget to correct a word: "The third brother always said to use, which really made me panic." The third brother is willing to help me, and it is the third brother who gives me mercy, I am very grateful, and I will remember it in my heart. β
She said the words of lifting him in her mouth, and her narrow phoenix eyes flickered faintly, like a fox.
The same fox color as in my distant memory. Appears after her previous bad ideas and tricks have succeeded. What now? Are you calculating him?
Fu Lingyuan looked into his eyes quietly, and his face showed interest again.
The phone vibrates again.
"Third brother, I'm afraid it's urgent. I won't delay you. Ruan Shu kindly reminded.
Fu Lingyuan clenched his mobile phone, didn't even say goodbye, and left while answering the phone.
Because of the posture of raising his arms to answer the phone, his shirt is more close to his back, and under the reflection of the roadside lights, the outline of his arms is perfectly outlined, and it is not necessary to think much about it to know that he has exercised all these years. And the three-dimensional side of his face when he inadvertently turned it over showed the taste of a man.
In his mind, he used to be unruly when he was young, and compared with the tough masculinity he is all over now, Ruan Shu only feels that things are wrong. But in fact, she herself has changed a lot?
One last glance, she noticed that he was answering the phone with his left hand, and the roadside lights illuminated the dark brown leather strap of the watch on his wrist.
In fact, there was nothing special, and Ruan Shu didn't know why he suddenly paid attention to his strap.
After checking the car keys, she turned around and went in the opposite direction to Fu Lingyuan to get her car.
Probably mediated with Tan Fei in the box, and outside the box, he had a false relationship with Fu Lingyuan, and it took too much effort, and on the way back, Ruan Shu felt like he was suddenly attacked by exhaustion, and his attention was refocused on his faintly uncomfortable stomach.
The doctor told me that I needed to recuperate after the abortion surgery. She's good, one thing after another needs her cao heart.
Fortunately, I managed to get to home.
But she didn't expect that someone in the living room was waiting for her.
And the next second, when she found that Tang Xianyang was holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, and the direction of his footsteps seemed to be going upstairs, Ruan Shu realized that he might not be waiting for her.
But when he saw her figure, he immediately paused: "Shu! β
"Is Xiao Shu back?" Wang Yufen was coming out of the kitchen, and with the expression of the deputy aunt, she said to Ruan Shu a little harshly: "Didn't I see that you had already come home before?" What's going on again? Manifestation has been waiting for you for a long time. He sent Miaofu back, and Miaofu's body didn't seem to be very well. I saw that there was leftover chicken soup in the pot, so I filled a bowl and Xianyang was about to bring it to Miaofu. β
Ruan Shu also had the expression of a deputy niece, and said gently: "Thank you, auntie." β
After speaking, she looked back at Tang Xianyang: "Let's come out to talk." β
Without waiting for Tang Xianyang to respond, she walked out of the door, obviously not giving Tang Xianyang a chance to refuse.
Tang Xianyang put the chicken soup on the table nearby, and hurriedly followed out.
I thought she was going to talk to him about the hospital, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked, "Did you talk to my aunt about something?" β
Ruan Shu cares more about Fang Cai, Wang Yufen deliberately and repeatedly mentioned Lin Miaofu.
Tang Xianyang didn't know whether he was embarrassed or frightened, his face turned white, and he shook his head: "She is indeed very enthusiastic, she took the initiative to warm the chicken soup, asked me about Miaofu's situation, and asked why I sent Miaofu back." β
After a pause, he finally couldn't hold back his tone: "Shu, I'm not stupid enough to tell your aunt about my accident with Miaofu." β
Ruan Shu naturally knew that Tang Xianyang was not so stupid, not to mention that it was not a glorious thing, she was just worried that Tang Xianyang would be tricked or show his feet without knowing it.
Originally, she planned to ask Tang Xianyang to repeat his contact with Wang Yufen in detail, but now seeing that his expression and tone were not very good, she thought for a moment, but swallowed back her words, and asked lightly: "Why did you come back so late?" β
ββ¦β¦ Miaofu has been uncomfortable in her stomach and is worried that something will go wrong, so she spent more time in the hospital. Tang Xianyang's voice was muffled, "I called you, and you turned off your phone." β
Ruan Shu didn't respond, and his expression couldn't show joy or anger.
Tang Xianyang took out the ring that she had returned earlier from his pocket and grabbed her hand.
Ruan Shu didn't resist and let him put the ring back on her.
"Shu, how many years have we had since the two of us started high school, and you know very well what my feelings are for you." Tang Xianyang's hands pressed on her shoulders, and he explained and apologized to her with a serious and sincere expression, "Miaofu is your sister, and she has always been my sister. I really had a fever that night and I was delirious, so I ...... So...... I thought she was your ......."
Speaking of this, Tang Xianyang's face was a little dark, and he was a little relieved when he looked at Ruan Shu's expression carefully.
"Xianyang," Ruan Shu, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, lowered his head slightly, turned the ring that was a little loose, and asked slowly, "You endure it very hard, right?" β
"It's not! No! Tang Xianyang flatly denied it, and then looked at Ruan Shu's insightful gaze, and he had to nod his head in embarrassment, "Yes...... Yes, there is. β
"But it's not that hard. We men have our men's solutions. He quickly added, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Ruan Shu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Tang Xianyang.
The sudden initiative and enthusiasm made Tang Xianyang stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to hug Ruan Shu back, her soft voice sounded in his ears.
"Xianyang, you don't have to endure it anymore. I can endure it for a while, but I can't endure it for a lifetime. If you continue like this, either you will endure your illness, or like now, I will have to face your cheating. So, let's break up. You should go and find a normal woman to live with you. β
"Why aren't you a normal woman? You just have a mental block! Tang Xianyang dismissed Ruan Shu, "Haven't you been receiving psychological treatment?" It's going to be fine! It's always going to be fine! This time it's my fault, I'm sure I'll be able to control myself! Won't do anything sorry for you again! β
"Manifest ......" Ruan Shu closed his eyes. Except for the fact that he slept with Lin Miaofu, she knew very well how tolerant Tang Xianyang was to her. To say that it is not moved at all is false.
However, the relationship between two people cannot be maintained forever by being moved.
Ruan Shu let go of Tang Xianyang, looked quite tired, and moved his lips: "You deserve a better woman." And I-"
"Say no more. I'm not going to break up with you. Tang Xianyang held Ruan Shu's hand tightly and quickly changed the topic, "I will have a meal with my family the day after tomorrow." β
Ruan Shu pursed his lips: "Xianyang, your parents don't like me either." Scholarly family, I don't like a bad woman like me the most. β
Tang Xianyang was silent.
Ruan Shu then said another cruel word: "You know my situation. What I need now is a husband who can me. What can you do to me? β
Tang Xianyang's expression was instantly embarrassed, and after a while, he was a little puzzled: "Shu, don't you go to fight for the company, can't you?" Wouldn't it be good to marry me and live a steady and smooth life? β
"Not good. It's not good at all. Ruan Shu took Tang Xianyang's hand away, his face was cold, "After so many years, you still don't know me?" If I want to wash my hands and make soup for men, it's impossible. β
"Hsienyang, go back. Think about it again. I was tired and went in first. β
Ruan Shu didn't look at Tang Xianyang's expression again, and resolutely turned around and left.
When I entered the door, I found that Wang Yufen was still in the living room, sitting on the sofa, looking at her who had just entered the door without meaning. Ruan Shu didn't explore, and smiled lightly at Wang Yufen: "Good night, aunt." β
Then she took away the bowl of chicken soup that had been placed on the table by Tang Xianyang before, and went upstairs under Wang Yufen's eyes.
After going upstairs, Ruan Shu greeted without saying a word, and went straight to open Lin Miaofu's door.
"Brother-in-law! Seeing that it was Ruan Shu, the smile on Lin Miaofu's lips froze, and instantly turned into shame and cringe: "Sister......"
Ruan Shu squinted, walked over and put the chicken soup on her bedside table, and said lukewarmly: "Don't go anywhere these days, take care of it at home." I will ask Sister-in-law Qing to give you stewed supplements. β
"Sister...... You and your brother-in-law reconciled...... Don't quarrel because of me......" Lin Miaofu's eyes filled with tears.
"I didn't quarrel with him." Ruan Shu smiled softly, "I just broke up with him." β
"But," she said, and her eyes looked at Lin Miaofu, "Even if I break up with him, you can't be with him." β
Lin Miaofu's watery eyes rippled in response, her face was slightly pale, and she said in a faint voice: "But he should have been my fiancΓ©." It was you who snatched him. Sister, I know, you have wanted to break up with him for a long time, but there has been no suitable opportunity and reason. So I'm giving you opportunities and reasons. β
Ruan Shu, who had opened the door and was about to go out, froze when he heard this.
Lin Miaofu is still complaining: "Sister, you are this kind of woman. Everyone is only interested in using relationships, not feelings. β
Ruan Shu did not respond, continued his pace, and simply left neatly.
When he returned to his room and took off his coat, Ruan Shu found that the ring on his hand was still on it, and he forgot to return it to Tang Xianyang.
This ring was given to her when Tang Xianyang proposed to her when she graduated from college.
Very simple vegetarian vows. One for him, one for her.
The so-called fiancΓ©e relationship between the two was only determined privately in this way, and there was no engagement banquet. Because Tang Xianyang's parents never agreed to the two of them being together.
