Chapter 158: Memories
The sound of rain outside the window finally quieted down.
Bai Ruoyi removed the smile from his face and lowered his eyes to think about what had happened this year.
It's too much, it's only been a year, but she feels like half of her life has passed.
"After taking your five million, the Bai family was sold by my stepmother again, and I naturally couldn't stay in this place in H City. In addition, my father's body was not treated to the root, so I took him to the United States.
Fortunately, the university I studied at was also well-known in foreign countries, so I didn't have much difficulty in doing work. So I found a company and applied for a job as a project manager......"
Bai Ruoyi's tone was light, giving people a boring feeling, and even Shen Tingchen couldn't listen to the declarative sentences sentence by sentence.
Shen Tingchen coughed and interrupted Bai Ruoyi's words, "No, you don't need to tell me about these daily routines, what was your mood when you were alone in the United States with your father?" Did anything happen that was important to you? ”
Bai Ruoyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Tingchen, "What kind of mood?" Of course, I was in a bad mood, and while I had to go to the hospital to see my father every day, I often had to increase my workload because I was a new employee, and the whole person collapsed to the point that I couldn't do it. The important thing for me is that I finally understand that the only person I can rely on is myself. So I worked very hard, and when someone else came up with a plan, I had already made four plans, and in just half a year, I was in the position of director. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Ruoyi smiled, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for meeting Gu Chenze, I wouldn't have come back." The working environment in the United States is much better than in China, especially in H City, where almost all of your families have monopolized business. ”
When Bai Ruoyi talked about his mood at that time, there was still some light in his eyes.
In the end, the suffering that I experienced at that time turned out to be just a matter of a few words.
Come to think of it, all living beings are suffering, and there is nothing in everything.
Shen Tingchen hugged Bai Ruoyi's body tightly, and pressed his chin on Bai Ruoyi's head, wanting to give her some comfort, "Although it is so simple to listen to what you say, you must have been very bitter at that time." ”
The corners of Bai Ruoyi's mouth gently pulled an arc in the dark night.
Bitter, how bitter was it at that time?
In the beginning, she was almost overwhelmed by life.
The five million that Shen Tingchen gave her, in addition to treating and recuperating for her father, the high-end ward where her father lived cost hundreds of yuan a day.
Bai Ruoyi was afraid that one day his father's condition would deteriorate, and he would need a lot of money.
So the five million was purely for his father alone, and Bai Ruoyi didn't dare to spend any more on himself.
Eating fast food every day, those American hot dogs, and puffed food made her vomit.
But what's the use of telling Shen Tingchen these things now. And these experiences are actually good things for her.
At least she is so calm now, and her self-control is much stronger than that of her average peers.
"It's okay, who in this world doesn't have a hard time, everyone has their own bitterness to taste." Bai Ruoyi buried it in Shen Tingchen's chest and said in a humming voice.
Shen Tingchen slowly lowered his eyes and hugged the thin man in his arms tighter, "But if I helped your father pay for his medical expenses at that time, I even helped you save the Bai family...... You don't have to go to the U.S. at all, and you can live a worry-free life in our home, just like you used to...... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. ”
The heart was full of guilt and distress, which made Shen Tingchen's heart like thousands of needles piercing. If Shen Tingchen a year ago was not so stubborn and awkward, Bai Ruoyi would not have to suffer so much.
Neither of them will be like this.
Bai Ruoyi patted Shen Tingchen's body and asked him to let go of himself, and there were not too many emotional changes on his face.
Maybe when she first went to the United States, Bai Ruoyi's thoughts were exactly the same as Shen Tingchen's, and she felt that everything was because of Shen Tingchen's cold-blooded ruthlessness, so she fell to this point.
What she wanted to hear most at that time was Shen Tingchen's apology.
It should have been the long-awaited answer, but when he really heard it from Shen Tingchen's mouth, Bai Ruoyi's heart didn't have a trace of turmoil.
It turned out that Bai Ruoyi had no hatred for Shen Tingchen for a long time, she just wanted Shen Tingchen to take his Yangguan Road, and Bai Ruoyi to cross his own single-plank bridge.
"Actually, you can't be blamed for that. At that time, I felt very aggrieved, I can't understand why you don't want to help me, obviously we are husband and wife. Bai Ruoyi calmly said his feelings, "And you are still the richest Shen Tingchen in H City, as long as you are willing, the crisis of the Bai clan can be resolved in an instant." ”
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. Shen Tingchen's voice became lower and lower, what happened a year ago was an eternal pain in his heart.
No matter who it is, every time he mentions something from a year ago, it can make his heart twist.
This may be the thing that Shen Tingchen regrets the most in his life, even after many years, whenever Shen Tingchen thinks about it, he will regret it.
"No, I don't mean to blame you." Bai Ruoyi raised his head and met Shen Tingchen's dark eyes, with a relieved smile on his face, "I really don't blame you, because we were just married at that time." At the end of the day, you don't like me at all, so why are you helping me? ”
"Don't say it......" Shen Tingchen had already begun to regret asking these things, and Bai Ruoyi's every sentence was to the point.
"I still have to thank you, if you weren't so ruthless back then, I wouldn't be the white Ruoyi I am today. You made me mature quickly, and you made me strong. I'm telling the truth, and I don't mean anything sarcastic. Bai Ruoyi explained seriously.
Shen Tingchen smiled sadly, "I hope you are sarcastic about me, at least to prove that you still cared about me in the first place." But you said it so calmly, so indifferently, it made me feel powerless. I blamed a year ago for all my mistakes, and I didn't know how to cherish the people in front of me. ”
It was the first time for the two of them to mention the incident of a year ago so calmly, and it turned out to be so hurtful.
Bai Ruoyi was silent, she didn't know what to say, anyway, she really didn't hate Shen Tingchen.
"But you're only in your twenties, and I still have a lot of opportunities to come. Even if I hurt you so much before, I still won't give up, and one day you will like me. Shen Tingchen's eyes burst out again, no matter what, he would not give up Bai Ruoyi.
If you do something stupid once, you won't do it a second time.
Bai Ruoyi had long expected Shen Tingchen to say such a thing, she shook her head helplessly, turned around and pulled up the quilt, "Okay, it's late, go to bed." ”
