At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the president's office from outside.

Ruan Shu restrained his expression, pressed his breath, and answered the door: "Come in." ”

Miao Jia pushed the door in, holding a large bouquet of red roses in her hand, and smiled: "Mr. Ruan, help you get it from the front desk." ”

Ruan Shu spit out directly: "Throw it away." ”

Miao Jia, who was halfway through, stopped in surprise: "Mr. Ruan, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Shu lifted his eyelids lightly: "Miao Jia, it's not the first day since you and me, have you forgotten my previous rules after a few months?" ”

Miao Jia's back stiffened - remember, of course remember. During the time when she became famous in Haicheng, there were suitors who sent flowers to the Lin family every day, and the way to deal with it at that time was to pile up all the toilets after signing for them to freshen the air.

She immediately apologized: "Mr. Ruan taught the right lesson, it was my fault." Mr. Ruan used to not accept other people's hospitality casually, but now that he is a famous flower, he will not care. I'll take it out right away. ”

Seeing her leave, Ruan Shu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

That Jiao Yang, is he going to send her flowers all the time with such perseverance?

……

In the evening, Lin Pu knocked on the door and came in: "Sister, I want to apply to you to leave work early today." ”

Ruan Shu's gaze stopped on the computer screen, and he subconsciously blurted out: "What's wrong?" ”

"Go to the funeral home to see the second aunt."

The fingers pressed on the mouse froze, and Ruan Shu glanced at him.

Lin Pu had already stepped in, stood in front of her desk, and said to herself: "There are not many relatives in the Lin family, and there is little contact, and the second aunt seems to have no family when she married into the Lin family, so my father didn't plan to set up a mourning hall." There is a queue at the funeral home, and tonight they will tidy up the second aunt's body before getting off work. The cremation is scheduled for around 10 a.m. tomorrow. ”

"But my dad just asked me to convey it by the way, although he left it to him, there are two things I still have to ask my sister. One is that my sister has to bring her household registration book, go to the second aunt to get a death certificate, and cancel the account. If the sister doesn't have time, or doesn't want to go, then give the household registration book to the staff of the funeral home, and they will assist in handling it. There is another thing to consult my sister for, whether to bury the ashes of the second aunt or store them? ”

His wording must have been embellished, not Lin Chengzhi's original tone. Ruan Shu exhaled lightly, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "What is a light body after death...... Actually, it's still very troublesome after death......"

These words were a little cold, and Lin Pu dragged a long voice: "Sister......"

Ruan Shu opened his eyes, looked at him, and asked mockingly: "Do you think I'm cold-blooded, and I don't recognize my six relatives, which is particularly impersonal?" ”

"Whether I am cold-blooded and don't recognize my six relatives or not, I don't have any special feelings, but my sister is indeed extremely impersonal." Lin Pu's expression was very serious, "The most impersonal thing about my sister is that she is used to turning away other people's concerns about you with malicious speculation. I even doubt that there is a person in this world who is entrusted by my sister to treat it wholeheartedly. I'm afraid that even my brother-in-law didn't get some trust from my sister. ”

He...... Ruan Shu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sister, why did you marry your brother-in-law?" Lin Pu asked curiously.

"What's the problem?"

"I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry after hearing it."

"I'm not angry." Ruan Shu was neither happy nor angry.

Lin Pu touched his nose: "Just from the contact with my sister during this time, I think that my sister will get married, and it is really a matter of the sun hitting the west." And...... It may be quite hard for a brother-in-law and a sister to live together. Because my sister is an extremely sensitive and self-conscious woman. ”

At this point, he paused with a slight hesitation, paid attention to her expression, and saw that she was indeed as promised and her face was safe, so he continued: "As a man, based on my personal guess, my sister's sensitivity may make my brother-in-law always take care of your emotions and accommodate you; And the sister's ego will make the brother-in-law always pay more than the return. ”

Ruan Shu raised his eyebrows lightly: "Are you a spy he sent to me?" Help him speak? ”

Lin Pu's face showed a calm expression: "I'm just telling the truth based on my personal feelings." ”

If it had been put in the past, Ruan Shu would not have given this kind of topic a chance to initiate it at all. Now I hear it, but I feel angry in my heart, and I whisper: "Human nature is like this, everything needs to be rewarded." ”

"No, it's not." Lin Pu frowned, "Sister, don't you understand?" It's not that you want to be rewarded for what you give, but that the relationship between people needs to be maintained by contacts. It's just that the things that come and go are different. ”

"It's like my sister in a shopping mall, the two companies have to maintain a balance of interests in order to cooperate for a long time, right? The same is true for the maintenance of affection, if only one party relies on the unilateral efforts of one party, and the other party does not act, sooner or later problems will arise. ”

Ruan Shu's expression flickered, and he was strange for a while.

Lin Pu stopped, scratched the back of his head, and said, "It's probably a bit far." ”

"It's far away. You can be an emotional expert on the radio. ”

Lin Pu sneered slightly: "Actually, my central idea is to say that my sister can open her arms to this world a little more." At least to those close to you, don't be stingy with love and trust. ”

"Are you standing at the center of the world and calling for love?" Ruan Shu closed his eyelids lightly, stopped the topic, and replied, "I will handle the death certificate and the cancellation of the account myself." As for her ashes, you tell your dad that she should be buried with whomever she wants. ”

When Lin Pingsheng died, his cemetery was a joint tomb, and half of it was left for Zhuang Peiyu.

"You're allowed to leave work early. If nothing else, you can go out. "Ruan Shu drove people away.

"Sister, are you really not with me?"

"Don't bother me again."

Lin Pu glanced at her, opened the door and left silently.

Ruan Shu continued to stare at the table data on the computer screen, but he couldn't see a word.

After holding on for two minutes, she finally turned off the computer and leaned back in her chair.

I wanted to empty my head for a moment.

But when he accidentally caught a glimpse of those two shopping bags, he unconsciously remembered the last depression of Noon and Fu Lingyuan, and felt extremely irritable.

Not long after, Ruan Shu also chose to leave work early.

The car drove around to the Lin Mansion, and several of Fu Lingyuan's subordinates were still stationed.

When I walked into the living room, I almost collided with someone who came out of my face.

Ruan Shu stopped in time.

Lin Miaofu covered her stomach in fright, her face was slightly pale.

Ruan Shu glanced at her - her stomach didn't look pregnant at all for the time being.

Finding out that it was her, Lin Miaofu immediately became angry: "You came just in time, hurry up and take these hooligans away." Twenty-four hours a day, the pestle is here, like a prisoner. If you stay any longer, I'm going to call the police. ”

"Then call the police." Ruan Shu walked past her and walked straight inside.

Lin Miaofu treated her like a thief, and hurriedly followed her: "Where are you going?" What are you doing again? ”

"Come and move my things." Ruan Shu didn't stop, went to the second floor, and glanced sideways at her, "So congratulations, this is the last time you will be able to see me." ”

"You-" Lin Miaofu held her arm.

Ruan Shu didn't want to get rid of her directly, stood still, glanced at her movements, and looked up at her: "What?" I can't move my own stuff? ”

Lin Miaofu's eyes suddenly turned red.

Ruan Shu was inexplicable and twisted his eyebrows.

I heard her ask, "Do you want me to be alone in the future?" Sister-in-law Qing is also gone. ”

Staring at the tears that she couldn't shed, Ruan Shu's brows twisted even deeper: "Sister-in-law Qing is gone?" When was this? ”

"Hmm. Let's go. I didn't see her when I woke up this morning. I asked the leading hooligan, and he told me that my sister-in-law had resigned and quit. ”

The leading hooligan...... Referring to chestnut green, right......?

Li Qing hadn't told her about this yet.

Ruan Shu condensed.

But seeing Lin Miaofu's chin raised slightly, as if trying to take back her tears, she said, "The Lin family is not yours alone. And it was taken away by you back then. Don't try to ignore me. Give me what should be given to me. ”

I thought she was going to say something. Scold.

Mocking from the bottom of his heart, Ruan Shu tugged at the corners of his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, you won't be homeless." ”

She looked around: "This house is not uncommon, although you live here with peace of mind, it is no problem to live for the rest of your life, I will not drive you away." Even if you get married in the future and want to live directly here with your husband, I won't stop you. ”

Then she looked back at her: "It's your business whether you want to work by yourself or not, anyway, I still pay the living expenses every month as before." There won't be any less yours. ”

She pointed to her belly: "Including this child of yours, if it is born in the future, I will add a certain amount of alimony." ”

"What else is there to ask for? If it's reasonable, I'll satisfy you. Finally she asked.

Lin Miaofu's face turned red, and she vomited for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about it for the time being." ”

"Well, then you think about it slowly. Come back to me when you're done thinking about it. Ruan Shu looked very indifferent, took her hand away, and continued upstairs.

Lin Miaofu stared at her back and bit her lip.

……

At the door of her room, there were several large cardboard boxes. It was probably Fu Lingyuan who asked Li Qing to help her prepare.

Ruan Shu picked one up first, opened the door and walked into the bedroom, looking at the room covered with a layer of dust, and suddenly didn't know where to clean up.

When Li Qing arrived, she had just packed two suitcases of old clothes in the closet.

"Sister Ruan. Sorry, I went to the funeral home with me in the afternoon. "He's in a hurry.

It's actually been very fast. She also temporarily said that she would get off work without prior notice. At his speed, it is estimated that as soon as she left the president's office on the front foot, Jiusi and the second cylinder on the back foot notified Li Qing.

"Nothing to be sorry about." Ruan Shu said softly, "After all, it's just for you to help me carry my luggage." In fact, two cylinders are enough. However, I didn't seem to see thirteen since last night. ”

Probably didn't expect her to suddenly mention Zhao Shisan, and the stunned moment on Li Qing's face was too late to hide it, and she looked at it.

"What? What happened to him? "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have that expression.

"It's not like there's anything wrong." Li Qing answered her questions, "I just made a mistake and was punished by the boss." ”

"What punishment?" Ruan Shu was curious.

"Cleaned the slaughterhouse." Li Qing grinned, "It's very big, and there are a lot of tools, and the boss has stipulated that no other help is allowed." So Thirteen is busy, and it may not be over until tomorrow morning. ”

Slaughterhouse again.

It's a big place.

It is not only the private execution ground of Fu Lingyuan and Lu Shaocong, but also can place laid-off bodyguards, and can also punish subordinates who make mistakes.

It feels like he's had a lot going on in the past two days. In this case, Zhao Thirteen will also be punished, and Zhao Thirteen's mistake is not light.

Ruan Shu pursed her lips lightly.

Li Qing still stood at the door, swept around the house, and asked, "Sister Ruan, which ones need to be moved down now?" ”

Ruan Shu pointed to the two suitcases.

"Sister Ruan, then I'll come in." Li Qing greeted politely, then walked into the house, went straight to the two suitcases, carried them with both hands, and walked out without making any stops.

Ruan Shu also followed, holding a cardboard box in his hand, filled with scattered items.

Seeing this, Li Qing hurriedly said: "Sister Ruan, you put it first, and I'll come later~"

Ruan Shu freed up a hand and closed the door: "No need." It's just a little thing, not heavy. ”

"Sister Ruan, just pack it all up? Or do you want to come back another day? Li Qing's gaze withdrew from the crack in the door that had just closed.

"No need to come back. The ones I want to stay are here. ”

As he spoke, Ruan Shu walked in front.

In the living room downstairs, Lin Miaofu sat on the sofa in the living room, her eyes moved from the TV screen to her, her gaze was a little complicated.

"Sister-in-law Qing has resigned?" Ruan Shu thought about it and asked.

"Yes," Li Qing nodded, "Because things are not in a hurry, and considering that Sister Ruan must be very busy in the company during the day, I originally planned to report to Sister Ruan in the evening along with the progress of the funeral." Sister Ruan, you asked first. ”

"She's looking for another livelihood?"

"Hmm. What she meant seemed to be that she planned to use her savings over the years to open her own shop and start a small business. I sound good, after all, being your own boss is better than being a servant for others. ”

Ruan Shu nodded slightly: "It's good." ”

"Mrs. Lin's funeral is with me and Uncle Lin Zhang Luo, Sister-in-law Qing feels that she has nothing to help, and she has some feelings for taking care of Mrs. Lin over the years, and said that she doesn't want to look sad anymore, so she left after explaining to me this morning, and asked me to tell Sister Ruan and thank Sister Ruan for her kindness."

Li Qing teased and smiled: "As soon as I heard Sister-in-law Qing's words, I knew that Sister Ruan must have been generous, and I was itching to make my heart itch, and I wanted to apply to the boss, and then I would work under Sister Ruan, and replace the second tube for Sister Ruan as a driver." ”

"Is your boss unkind to you?"

Li Qing seemed to have just discovered her gaffe, and slapped her mouth lightly: "Sister Ruan, you must help me keep it secret in front of the boss." Or I'll have to clean the slaughterhouse for two days. ”

Ruan Shu bent her lips slightly, glanced at Lin Miaofu, who was still staring at her from afar, and said to Li Qing: "I want to trouble you to take time in the past two days and find a new nanny." It is best to have experience in caring for pregnant women. ”

"Sister Ruan is polite, what trouble is not troublesome. Whatever is to come, I will be at my disposal. I'll take care of the babysitter tomorrow. Li Qing looked neat and refreshing.

Ruan Shu bowed slightly: "Then you send these two pieces of luggage to the car first." I'll go into the temple and take a look. ”

"Okay, Sister Ruan." Li Qing agreed, carried his suitcase and went out.

Ruan Shu also held the cardboard box, and under the gaze of Lin Miaofu's unclear gaze, he walked towards the Buddhist hall.

The doors and windows were open transparently, and the familiar scent of sandalwood seemed to have completely dissipated overnight with her death.

Ruan Shu put the cardboard box on the mahogany table for the time being, walked over and closed the doors and windows, and then easily took out the remaining sandalwood from the drawer of the Buddhist shrine, threw a piece and burned it in the stove.

It didn't take long for the smell to slowly spread through the room.

Ruan Shu took two deep breaths, stood in front of the Buddha statue, and wanted to smoke three incense sticks as usual.

Thinking that she didn't seem to have any sins to tell the Buddha recently, she gave up.

Turn around.

The position of the futon is still the same position, and the person who was supposed to kneel on it to see her pretending in front of the Buddha Lord is no longer there.

She lost her interest in worshipping the Buddha even more.

The bookshelves are all empty.

Ruan Shu returned to the mahogany table.

She remembered that when she came to see Zhuang Peiyu's body last night, the mahogany table was covered with paper with scriptures copied, and it was also empty.

"What are you doing?" Lin Miaofu's voice came out coldly.

Ruan Shu followed the prestige.

Lin Miaofu didn't know when she opened the door of the Buddha Hall, but stopped at the door, covered her mouth and nose with a frown, and glanced at the small stove that was burning with sandalwood chips: "Why did you light it again?" ”

As she spoke, she took two steps back.

"What? Didn't you smell it for more than 20 years, and suddenly you couldn't get used to it? Ruan Shu sneered.

Lin Miaofu blushed: "Pregnant people can't smell the scent of sandalwood." ”

Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment.

She really didn't know about that.

However, since she had misunderstood, she still said "sorry" lightly, walked over to extinguish the remaining sandalwood chips in the stove, and opened all the windows for ventilation.

Turning around, she pointed to the mahogany table and asked, "What about the table?" ”

"It's all put away."

"Where?"

"What do you want to do?" Lin Miaofu seemed to be wary of hostility towards everything she did.

"If you take it out, you will know what I want to do." Ruan Shu hooked his lips, a little provocative.

Lin Miaofu hesitated to enter the door, walked to the bookshelf, and bent down to open a cabinet at the bottom.

I saw a cardboard box inside.

"Thank you." Ruan Shuwu squatted down and took out the cardboard box, put it on the mahogany table, and opened it.

The pages of the copied scriptures are neatly stacked, and at the top is a Diamond Sutra, on top of which is a string of Buddhist beads.

It is the string that Zhuang Peiyu never left her hand all year round before her death.

"You cleaned it up?" Ruan Shu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Lin Miaofu pursed her mouth: "It's not me, is it you?" ”

She came over today, and her original intention was to sort out the relics for Zhuang Peiyu. Because she thought that Lin Miaofu wouldn't care about this, she didn't expect to do it anyway.

"What about the others?" She asked again.

"The clothes are all in the room. The room was not intended to be used for other purposes. So there's nothing to clean up, just let it be what it is. ”

This arrangement is very good, Ruan Shu was a little surprised by her again, and looked at Lin Miaofu with slanted eyes: "Heh, she should be relieved that she didn't hurt you in vain before she died." ”

Lin Miaofu mocked: "I'm not you." Unfilial daughter. ”

Ruan Shu lightly hooked his lips, did not pick up the stubble, and took out the Buddha beads from the cardboard box.

Each bead is sleek and a little faded. All of them are traces of accumulated years.

She tilted her head slightly and stared, and remembered in a trance that this string of Buddhist beads had been with Zhuang Peiyu for almost ten years. If memory serves, she brought it back from Wat Pho when she went on vacation to Nanshan that year.

Coming back to her senses, she took out the Diamond Sutra again, turned two pages slightly, and then put it in her cardboard box with the beads.

"What are you doing?" Lin Miaofu once again seemed to be a thief.

Ruan Shu smiled: "Take some of her personal belongings and go, I plan to tie a villain for her, so that she will not be able to live in peace underground." ”

Lin Miaofu's face turned white: "You-"

"Sister Ruan," Li Qing stood outside and knocked on the door, "when are you leaving?" I let the second cylinder prepare to prepare. ”

"Now you can go." Ruan Shuying turned his head to say goodbye to Lin Miaofu, "I'm not in your way." You can call me at any time after you think about the needs you mentioned before. ”

With that, she picked up her cardboard box and walked away.

When I walked out of the Buddha hall, the last trace of the faint sandalwood fragrance between my noses was gone.

Ruan Shu froze for a moment.

"Sister Ruan, I'll help you get it." Li Qing took the cardboard box from her hand.

Ruan Shu didn't refuse, put down his empty hands, naturally lowered his side, and continued to walk.

Li Qing helped her put the carton in the trunk and stopped.

Jiusi opened the car door for her.

Ruan Shu glanced back at Lin Zhai and called Li Qing to him again: "When will the people leave?" ”

Li Qing glanced at the brothers stationed there: "The original arrangement was to wait until tomorrow after the funeral is over." If Sister Ruan has another order now, she can also withdraw immediately. ”

"Hmm. Then go as you originally planned. Ruan Shu exhaled lightly, was silent for two seconds, and then spoke again with a clear voice, "Postpone the funeral." ”

"Sister Ruan is going to ......" Li Qing was puzzled.

Staring at the lights of the Lin Mansion, Ruan Shu licked his lips unconsciously: "Set up a mourning hall for her, find a few masters of the Reclining Buddha Temple, and do a transcendent ritual for her." ”

For so many years, she has been dependent on the Buddha every day, and in the end she should still hope to take refuge in Buddhism.

Then ...... Give her a relief......
