"Who are you talking to on the phone?"

His attention was all in the conversation with the nanny, and he didn't even notice his arrival. Fu Qingci's hand shook, the phone almost fell, and he subconsciously turned around.

Chen Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and his expression sank in an instant: "What are you crying for?" ”

Fu Qingci hurriedly turned his face away and wiped his tears, whispered to the other end of the phone, "I'll call you later", and hurriedly ended the call.

Chen Qingzhou had stepped forward, glanced at her mobile phone, looked back at her face, and asked again: "Who are you talking to on the phone?" What are you crying about? ”

Fu Qingci grabbed his mobile phone and gritted his teeth: "Didn't I tell you last night that my mother was sick." If you don't let me go, won't you let me know about my mother's condition? ”

Chen Qingzhou stared at her tightly, as if to probe the truth of her words from her expression. Immediately, he raised his hand and gently wiped the remaining wetness on her face with his fingertips: "Aunt is very sick? ”

Fu Qingci avoided his fingers and didn't answer, only asked, "Is it possible to go back if you get the water from the disease removal pool?" ”

Chen Qingzhou was silent and did not respond.

"Then I'll go and get the guy back and buy the water." Fu Qingci bypassed him and was about to leave quickly.

Chen Qingzhou grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"What do you want, what do you want?! If you want to spend 200,000 yuan to buy water, then go buy it! Buy it and let's go! You're repenting now, aren't you?! Do you want me to give birth to a baby for you right now to be satisfied?! ”

Fu Qingci roared angrily and continuously, waving his arm to hit his chest, tears pouring out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Chen Qingzhou forcibly hugged her body and shackled her arms: "I'm sorry, we'll go back to the city now." What hospital does my aunt live in? I'll send you there. ”

Because of his emotion, Fu Qingci's chest rose and fell violently, and he was forced to press on his chest, unable to reach out to wipe his tears, so he rubbed his clothes, and secretly cursed in his heart that his tears had become too cheap recently! Hearing this, she categorically refused: "You don't need to send it!" You don't want to be in front of my family! ”

Chen Qingzhou's expression was cold behind her invisible, and her tone was quite normal: "I don't see your family." I'll just take you to the hospital gate. ”

"No, you don't." Fu Qingci still refused, "I'll get off when I get back to the city." I'll take a taxi myself. ”

Chen Qingzhou was noncommittal, took her and left: "On the way back, we will discuss it slowly." ”

Fu Qingci stiffly paused his body in place, and insisted very much: "Don't discuss it on the road, make it clear now." I'm going to go back to see my mom by myself, and I'll get off as soon as I get back to the city, so I don't need you to send me. It is not possible to send it to the door of the hospital. ”

Chen Qingzhou frowned, was silent, clenched his fists, and nodded: "Okay." ”

……

Ruan Shu was by the healing pool, far away, frowning, taking in Chen Qingzhou and Fu Qingci after a series of interactive actions, and soon after seeing the husband and wife walking back, the atmosphere was obviously harmonious.

"Have you done your business?" Chen Qingzhou asked her.

"Hmm." Ruan Shu nodded, "I saw the person I was looking for." ”

Chen Qingzhou didn't explore in detail, and said, "Then is there anything else?" Qingci and I are now planning to go back to the city. ”

So the holy water in the healing pool finally stopped buying? Ruan Shu put down his thoughts and smiled slightly: "Okay, I don't have anything else to do." Let's go back together. ”

When the group left the Wat Pho Temple and were in the parking lot, Fu Qingci proposed: "I am in the same car as Miss Ruan." When I get to the city, I will let the driver park myself. ”

She didn't ask Chen Qingzhou's opinion at all, but told her directly, so she got into the car without waiting for Chen Qingzhou's consent.

Ruan Shu went to see Chen Qingzhou's reaction.

Seeing Chen Qingzhou staring at the car door that had just been closed by Fu Qingci, his eyes were extremely dark. However, he didn't pull Fu Qingci off the car, turned his eyes to Ruan Shu and said, "Then you two will get on the road." You're convenient, right? ”

Where is there anything inconvenient? Since Chen Qingzhou didn't mind her being Fu Qingci's shield, what else did Ruan Shu have to object? Nodding, he went around to the other side of the car door and got into the car.

In the carriage, Fu Qingci still sat upright, with his feet together, his waist straight, and his expression was a little cold, like a Buddha at first glance.

Once or twice, it's all this kind of sitting posture that is a bit of a precarious seat. Ruan Shu pondered, it should be an occupational disease.

On the road, the two of them took their own positions, and there was no communication since they got into the car.

However, Ruan Shu found that Fu Qingci had been clutching the mobile phone in his hand, and his expression was also calm, not knowing what he was thinking, and soon he began to bow his head, and his fingers pressed the screen quickly, as if he was sending a message to someone.

When the car left the winding mountain road in Nanshan and turned into the highway, Fu Qingci's mobile phone rang. Before answering, she looked at Ruan Shu intentionally or unintentionally, and then at the driver in the seat in front of her, before she turned slightly sideways to her own window and picked up: "Hey......"

Ruan Shu naturally noticed her actions, as if she was avoiding people's eyes. I don't know who is on the other end of the phone, Fu Qingci's voice is low, and it should be "um", "right", "good" and other tone words, without a complete sentence, so it is elusive.

However, Ruan Shu didn't want to think about it, but she answered the phone like this, which made her remember the content displayed in the WeChat message floating window she saw on Fu Qingci's mobile phone last night, and she couldn't help but glance at her more.

Fu Qingci just hung up the phone and turned back, meeting her gaze.

"What's the matter with Miss Ruan?" Her gaze was slightly vigilant, "Won't you also be Chen Qingzhou's eyeliner?" ”

Although her tone was a little bad, Ruan Shu could completely understand her psychology and smiled faintly: "Officer Fu, don't worry, during the time you are in the same car with me, no matter what you do, I won't be nosy." ”

Fu Qingci didn't really think that Ruan Shu would reveal anything to Chen Qingzhou, otherwise she wouldn't have to specifically ask to be in the same car with her, but just cautiously tried to achieve the purpose of indirect warning.

There was no word for a while. The silence remained until the car passed the toll booth and drove into the city, and Fu Qingci told the driver to pull over opposite the gas station in front of him.

After the car stopped, Fu Qingci's eyes were glued to the car window, as if he was waiting for someone.

Soon, Ruan Shu noticed a fresh green Huapu coming out of the traffic, as if it was about to stop in their direction. She frowned slightly, feeling that the car was a little familiar......

Just thinking about it, Fu Qingci on the side suddenly opened the car door, dropped a sentence of "I'll go first", and couldn't wait to get out of the car and quickly run towards the Huapu.

Ruan Shu stared at the Huapu, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and finally remembered that it was Fu Qingli's car - last year, in the middle of the night, Fu Lingyuan took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage certificate, and got off the car halfway to get the household registration book that Fu Qingli helped him steal.

Here Fu Qingci opened the door of the passenger seat, and Fu Qingli in the driver's seat smiled sweetly at her: "Sister, where have you been?" Why do you want me to come here to pick you up? Still urging me all the way? Urgent? I was scolded by my immediate superiors before I was able to take a leave of absence. ”

Without waiting to get into the car, a hand suddenly stretched out behind her to press the car door, Fu Qingci turned around, and when she saw that it was Chen Qingzhou, she suddenly tensed her nerves: "What do you want?" Didn't you promise to let me go? ”

Chen Qingzhou didn't answer her, but lowered his body and looked into the carriage: "Hello, you are Qingci's sister Qingli, right?" I'm Chen Qingzhou. ”

"Chen Qingzhou......?" Fu Qingli was confused and confused.

Fu Qingci had pushed him away as soon as possible: "You promised me not to appear in front of my family?" What are you doing now? ”

"No, I won't let you go. It shouldn't matter much if you appear in front of your sister. Chen Qingzhou said softly, "After all, it's my aunt who is sick, and you are so anxious, but you don't tell the specific details, I want to care." ”

Fu Qingci secretly forgot to confess with Fu Qingli, and hurriedly closed the car door to block Fu Qingli, and mocked: "Is it pure concern, or do you suspect me of lying?" Chen Qingzhou, have you seen it? Even the most basic trust between us no longer exists, so what is there to force to be back together? ”

Chen Qingzhou looked at her quietly and did not speak.

Fu Qingci avoided his gaze slightly, calmed his tone, and said, "I will do what I say." If my mother's condition is okay, I will take the initiative to go back to Lushui Mansion. My phone will always be on, if you are really worried, you can call me to confirm. ”

"But my bottom line is that you can't show up in front of my family and let them know that I'm still connected to you."

Finally, she looked back at him, greeted him, and said sincerely, "Give me two or three days to breathe freely." Count me as a beggar for you, okay? ”

In her expectant gaze, Chen Qingzhou said, "Okay. ”

Fu Qingci suddenly smiled.

Although it was very shallow, this was the first time that Chen Qingzhou had seen a smile on her face since she reunited with her. What surprised him even more was that in the next moment, Fu Qingci even took the initiative to lean over and hugged him gently: "Thank you." Thank you ......."

Chen Qingzhou raised his arm and was about to hug her back, Fu Qingci had already left his embrace and reopened the car door: "I'll go first." ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingzhou nodded, watched Fu Qingci get into the car, and watched the car leave, with a calm expression.

Rong Yi came behind him: "Second master, do you want to send two brothers to 'escort' Officer Fu?" ”

"No, you don't." Chen Qingzhou said lightly, turned his head and walked back to the car.

……

Here, the fresh and green Huapu was driving smoothly on the road, and in the quiet carriage, Fu Qingli suddenly let out an "ah" sound: "I remembered, Chen Qingzhou!" That's that brother-in-law, right? ”

Soon she corrected herself: "No, no, it's not true, it's an ex-brother-in-law!" ”

"What a brother-in-law before! Drive your car well! Fu Qingci was angry, "He's nothing!" A stranger who has nothing to do with me! ”

Fu Qingli naturally knew that this Chen Qingzhou was taboo. is not only a taboo for the family, but also a taboo for Fu Qingci, so he had to hold back the countless questions in his heart, put on an apologetic expression of "I promise not to mention him again", and then expressed another confusion: "But sister, how did I hear you just say that Mom is sick?" When I go out to work in the morning, my mother is obviously okay? ”

"You heard me wrong." Fu Qingci gave her an explanation very casually.

Where can't you hear it's prevarication? Fu Qingli knew that her sister had always been like this, so she didn't inquire about it.

Fu Qingci glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Turn left at the intersection in front of you and go around here twice." ”

"What's wrong?" Fu Qingli glanced at her quickly, noticed her gaze, and keenly guessed, "Isn't it?" Is someone following us? ”

"Just in case." Fu Qingci explained. Just in case, Chen Qingzhou didn't keep his word and found someone to follow her. She had to be cautious.

Fu Qingli turned the steering wheel according to her request, and chattered: "My car is too conspicuous, if you explain the situation to me, I will borrow a low-key car from my colleagues." ”

"When you first bought a car, why didn't you think about attracting attention?" Fu Qing resigned, "You little girls like this kind of fancy things. ”

"You talk about yourself as if you're old......" Fu Qingli muttered.

The mobile phone rang at this time, Fu Qingci didn't talk anymore, and habitually turned sideways to pick it up: "Hey, talk and laugh...... Well...... Good...... See you later......"

Hanging up the phone, she turned her head and listened to Fu Qingli's gossip: "It turned out that I made an appointment to meet with the police officer, so I can't be in a hurry." Yes, sister, you and the police officer have been together for many years, when are you going to get married? ”

Fu Qingci rolled his eyes, didn't answer, and said, "Let me get out of the car at the intersection in front." ”

"Since you're going to meet with Officer Tan, why don't you just ask him to pick you up in the first place, and ask me to come all the way over?" Fu Qingli was suspicious.

"Am I supposed to sew your mouth shut?" Fu Qingci frowned.

Fu Qingli pursed her lips and stopped talking until she stopped at the intersection she was pointing to, and Fu Qingci confessed before getting out of the car: "Don't tell others that you have seen Chen Qingzhou today when you go home." ”

"Okay, I'm not a bad woman." Fu Qingli felt innocent. Looking out of the car window, she looked around cautiously before seeing Fu Qingci's chatting and laughing car, and muttered: "God is mysterious, what are you going to do...... What's the big case? Aren't they all suspended......"

……

The car drove into the green water mansion and drove to the villa, and saw Huang Jinrong standing under the sun from a distance, waiting on the side of the road. But when the car approached, Huang Jinrong walked towards the villa.

Ruan Shu originally rolled down the windows of the car, and he didn't even have time to say hello.

When I entered the villa, I didn't see Huang Jinrong, but the maid stepped forward and said, "Miss Ruan, the noodles have just been prepared in the kitchen, and they are prepared for you and the second master." ”

"Uncle Rong let you cook it?" The answer is all too obvious.

Sure enough, the maid nodded: "Yes." ”

"What about others? I just saw him outside. ”

"Back in his house."

Ruan Shu frowned deeply - this is ...... Still mad at her?

"What's wrong?" Chen Qingzhou, who arrived a step late, also came in.

"Do you want to go see Uncle Rong?" Ruan Shu asked.

Chen Qingzhou instantly understood what was going on, and smiled faintly: "He also called halfway to ask where I was." ”

So you can calculate the time for the maid to prepare the noodles in time? Ruan Shu pursed his lips and was silent.

After eating the noodles and returning to the room, Ruan Shu took out the string of Buddhist beads from his bag, put it on the table, and watched silently for a long time, recalling the fragments of the past in his mind, and did not remember anything that might be related to the missing Buddha beads.

This may depend on Lin Miaofu.

Lin Miaofu is the person who accompanies Zhuang Peiyu most often, and perhaps she has a better impression of this string of Buddhist beads.

With a sigh of relief, Ruan Shu called Aunt Yu again: "Did the third lady go back to the Lin Mansion?" ”

"It's back. I came back yesterday evening. ”

"How is she now?"

"Third Miss is very good."

"What do you mean it's good?" Didn't yesterday say that she was in an embarrassing situation? Ruan Shu frowned, and then asked, "You suddenly left her in the hospital, she should lose her temper at you when she comes back, right?" ”

Aunt Yu said, "No." The third lady didn't lose her temper at me. ”

"Huh?" Ruan Shu was quite surprised.

Aunt Yu also felt strange: "The third lady was very quiet after she came back yesterday, not noisy or noisy. Because Mr. Fu told me to leave Miss Three alone for the time being, I didn't cook and wash clothes for Miss Three, and Miss Three didn't have any opinions, so I silently ordered takeout. ”

It's a little quirky. Ruan Shu groaned and asked, "Then where is she now?" What do you do? ”

"Stayed in the room all the time without going out. It was as if I was watching a TV series, and I heard movement. Aunt Yu told everything she knew.

Ruan Shu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Have you reported this to Mr. Fu?" ”

"Back to Miss Ruan, I am not qualified to contact Mr. Fu directly. The Li brothers have always been in charge of the affairs here, and the Li brothers will report what should be reported. Mr. Fu's request was also conveyed through Brother Li. Brother Li hasn't called me in the past two days, so Mr. Fu doesn't know the current situation of Miss San. ”

"Okay, I got it. I'll get back to you if you have any questions. Ending the call, Ruan Shu pondered, this Lin Miaofu doesn't cry or make trouble, shouldn't she really be trained by the situation in the hospital?

Then I'll go back tomorrow.

With the arrangement, Ruan Shu threw Lin Miaofu's affairs aside, took out the Diamond Sutra and the pile of transcribed scripture paper, and continued to pick out the corresponding scripture pages—she found that the content of these scriptures was not coherent, but different chapters distributed on different pages.

After picking them out, Ruan Shu carefully looked through the contents of those scriptures, paying special attention to whether there was any special mark of Zhuang Peiyu on those pages.

But no. The page is very clean and tidy, and the only mark is the word "pure heart" that she has discovered before.

It doesn't matter.

Still stumbling around like headless flies.

Ruan Shu rubbed her neck that was sore from bowing her head for a long time, and couldn't help laughing at herself - she didn't have a job, she was really idle every day, so she would hide in the room and study the "200 million" that she didn't understand at all. Zhuang Peiyu didn't tell her anything......

She leaned back in her chair, tilted her head back, and stared silently at the magnolia-shaped lamp on the ceiling, her eyes gradually drifting and her mind empty.

After a while, she pinched her eyebrow bone, sat up straight again, saw that the time was about the same, and dialed Ma Yi's number.

The phone went through quickly, but there was no sound on the other side.

Ruan Shu took the initiative to greet first: "Hey, Ma Yi?" ”

"Hmm." Ma Yi responded to this word very briefly, and then asked in an extremely detached tone: "Who are you?" ”

Ruan Shu was stunned, and quickly realized that he didn't really know who she was - I hadn't contacted him for a long time, and before deciding to make this call today, she was mentally prepared to be sneered at by him, but she didn't expect him to be even more ruthless, and simply "didn't know" her.

With a wry smile, she followed his words and pretended to joke lightly: "Dr. Ma has a lot of patients, and it's normal not to remember me." I'm just an ordinary patient who was cured by you for seven years. I wonder how Dr. Ma's other patients would feel if they found out about this? ”

This way of speaking can contain the meaning of smashing his sign.

Ma Yi responded calmly and peeled off the interpretation from another angle: "After seven years of serious illness, I can still be patiently cured, which is a very good advertisement." ”

There was no temperature in his voice, and Ruan Shu could automatically show his perennial paralyzed iceberg face.

"Then your ad must be without me, the heroine." She teased, "For the sake of me being your patient for many years, I won't charge you for the fee, as long as you provide me with meals and accommodation." ”

Ma Yi heard the taste for the first time, and didn't talk to her anymore, Zhengse: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Ruan Shu raised his hand on the table, stood his chin, and continued to smile: "I just told you, I hope that Dr. Ma will provide me with food and accommodation." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've become a jobless vagrant."

After the words fell, Ma Yi did not move for a while.

Ruan Shu didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew he wouldn't ask. Because she had been his patient, he knew her too well. And she can also make up for the fact that he should habitually hold up the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose at this moment.

Curling the corners of her lips slightly, she asked, "I actually want to ask you, is the third floor of your house still empty and not rented out?" ”

"You want to rent?"

"Hmm. I don't have a suitable place to go for the time being. ”

If it weren't for her foot injury, she wouldn't still be living here in Chen Qingzhou. Now that she is basically recovered, she has no problem walking, and it is time for her to move out.

She didn't run real estate everywhere like Lin Chengzhi. So if you don't live in the forest house, you have to find another place.

It is not a matter of staying in a hotel for a long time, and it is too troublesome to buy a house temporarily, which involves a series of decoration things, and you can't live in it for a while. Excluded, the easiest is to rent a house.

Then I immediately remembered where Ma Yi was.

His counseling room is housed in his own home, the first floor is all there, the second floor is for him to live in, and the third floor is dedicated to renting. The last tenant was a young travel painter from abroad.

The main reason is that there is a nursing home and a psychiatric hospital near Ma Yi's home. People in both places need a quiet and comfortable environment, so it's very peaceful.

She felt that it was a good fit for her, a good fit for her to adjust her mentality.

And...... She didn't have any other friends, only Ma Yi. had promised him to take a psychological test one last time, and she had completely forgotten one thing after another for a while.

"When are you going to come over?" Ma Yi asked directly.

Ruan Shu opened his eyebrows comfortably: "Thank you, Ma Yi." ”

"There's nothing to be thankful for." Ma Yi said calmly, "I will not give you a discount just because you were once my patient." ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

If memory serves, his rent is as high as his psychiatric fees.

She wants to take back her "thank you" ......

……

At the dinner table in the evening, I still didn't see Huang Jinrong.

According to the servant, meals were delivered to his room as usual.

Ruan Shu raised his eyes to look at Chen Qingzhou opposite.

Chen Qingzhou still didn't seem worried.

Seeing this, Ruan Shu didn't mention Huang Jinrong to him, but told him that he planned to move out.

Chen Qingzhou seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, and he was not the slightest surprised when he heard this, and guessed: "It seems that Miss Ruan has already settled on her own residence, and she doesn't need me to help you arrange it." ”

"Hmm." Ruan Shu nodded, "A friend of mine happens to have a suite for rent. ”

Chen Qingzhou bowed slightly, and then asked, "When will you move?" How else can I help you? ”

"Just for a day or two." Ruan Shu smiled, "As for help, I didn't think of anything I needed your help for the time being." ”

"Then I'll send you a few bodyguards."

"No need." Ruan Shu refused, "There's no need." ”

originally asked him for bodyguards, because he was worried that he would be arrested by Fu Lingyuan. Now that it has been determined that Fu Lingyuan has no intention in this regard, there is naturally no need to bring bodyguards again. She has no enemies.

Moreover, for so long, with Fu Lingyuan's eyeliner and then Chen Qingzhou's people by her side, she can finally take this opportunity to say goodbye to the days of being watched, how can she ask for bodyguards again?

Chen Qingzhou's expression showed a hint of understanding, and he pondered for two or three seconds, and said, "What you want to move away, Uncle Rong, he-"

"I'm going to go and talk to him personally." Ruan Shu said. By the way, I also soothes his wounded heart. Otherwise, if he stayed in the house like this and couldn't come out, she would be so uncomfortable and guilty.

Chen Qingzhou smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

Ruan Shu got up from the table, took over the food that the maid was going to bring to Huang Jinrong, and walked towards his room.

Rong Yi came to Chen Qingzhou at this time to report the news: "Second master, let the brother who went to squat near Fu's house come to the news, saying that he saw Officer Fu's mother come out in the evening, and she looked very good and was in good health, and she did not have any symptoms. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhou's eyes were dark, and his expression was dark and uncertain.

……

Here, Ruan Shu knocked on the door, and Huang Jinrong quickly responded.

"Uncle Rong, I'll bring you dinner." Ruan Shu gestured to him for the plate in his hand.

Huang Jinrong was stunned for a moment, staring at her fixedly, his expression flickering.

Seeing that he was motionless, Ruan Shu pursed his lips and asked with a smile: "Uncle Rong, is this not welcome and I don't want to see me?" ”

"Where? What nonsense are you talking about? Huang Jinrong's eight-character eyebrows immediately pulled up unhappily, "Isn't there no maid at home?" Why don't you end it yourself? Give it to me! ”

As he spoke, he was about to take the plate from her hand.

Ruan Shu avoided his hand: "I'm holding it, Uncle Rong, don't rob me, it's not a heavy job." Aren't you going to let me in? ”

Huang Jinrong immediately turned his body sideways and gave way to her: "Come in girl!" Come on in! ”

Ruan Shu smiled and stepped inside.

Huang Jinrong raised his arms beside her to make a gesture of protecting her, as if he treated her as a child, for fear that she would accidentally knock over the things in her hand, and at the same time pointed in the direction to lead the way: "Put it here, put it here!" Just put this table! ”

Ruan Shu followed his instructions and walked to the table, and before putting down the plate, he found an old yellowed photo on the table.

She couldn't help but be stunned.
