298. Persuade
,!
I didn't expect him to scold me, I said, "yes, I'm just stupid, you're right, you're always going to help your family anyway, never help me." ”
I turned to leave, but he grabbed my hand again, and I looked at him with some annoyance, and asked fiercely, "What are you doing?" ”
Chen Qingchuan said: "That person is not your boyfriend, right, you deliberately said those words that day to anger me, right?" ”
I thought he wouldn't pay attention to me, but I didn't expect him to ask that, and I looked at him.
He approached me and asked again, "Answer me." ”
I said, "Does it matter if he and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, I don't need to explain this matter to you." ”
I wanted to struggle to get out again, but Chen Qingchuan held on, as if I wouldn't let go if I didn't answer.
I became more and more annoyed, so I simply reached out and pushed him hard and said, "You let go of me, don't always hold me!" ”
But I was too loud, and the nurse not far away looked over to us.
I shut up and looked at him.
He said, "Treat the wounds on your face first. ”
He looked at the nurse next to him and said, "Please come and deal with it." ”
When the nurse heard what he said, she broke the medicine tray and walked over, in fact, I still had a lot of bruises on my face, although the scratches were scabbed, but it still looked a little scary, the nurse checked me for me, and went out to get the medicine.
Now it's me sitting on the hospital bed and Chen Qingchuan sitting on the sofa.
This is a suite so it's very quiet, the nurse basically didn't make any other sound after going out, I raised my face to look at him on the sofa, looked down at my toes, and said, "You will be discharged the day after tomorrow?" ”
Chen Qingchuan turned on the TV, ignored it, and seemed to return to the indifference just now.
I glanced at him, didn't talk to myself, turned my head and looked around the room, but fortunately the nurse had not been out for long, and soon came back with the medicine, and when she came back, she treated the wound on my face at the bedside.
The wound was still a little painful, I don't know if it was a little irritating or what, but when the nurse took the medicine and carefully applied it to my face, I was repeatedly hissing and throbbing.
And Chen Qingchuan's eyes kept falling on the TV screen.
After the nurse gave me the rest of the medicine, explained how many times a day to use it, and how to use it, maybe there was nothing to do in the ward, so she left.
I also got up from the bed and looked at Chen Qingchuan, he was still watching TV, I thought about it and said: "I have nothing else to do today, just to come to see you, since you are discharged from the hospital tomorrow, then I wish you a speedy recovery." ”
I said, "That's... I'll go first. ”
Chen Qingchuan looked at me with a very cold expression and snorted.
Kind of responded to me.
I don't know why he suddenly did this, I looked at him for a long time, and I didn't have a reason to stay, so I just walked out.
I thought he would at least say a word, or look at me, but as I walked past him, he didn't hold back or say anything.
Without saying a word, I left his room.
When I got to the ward, I looked into his room again, but he didn't chase him out.
His mood changed so quickly that I stopped staying, got into the elevator, and left from this side.
Anyway, my goal today has been achieved, and it has nothing to do with me how he is emotional, and I see that he is in good shape today, except for losing a little weight, his face seems to be quite normal.
But I, who felt a little guilty in those days, was really crazy.
Seeing that his situation should not be much of a problem, I also returned home with peace of mind.
But not long after I arrived home, Chen Yu actually called me and asked me where I was.
I think it's a little strange, could it be that you're here to ask me about Chen Lina's situation again? After all, Chen Qingchuan called me, and there would be no other things besides these things.
When he asked me where I was, I naturally replied immediately: "Brother Chen, I'm at home." ”
Chen He smiled and said, "It's just right, I want to invite you to a meal, Kaiyan, do you have time at night?" ”
Invite me to dinner?
I'm afraid it's not just as simple as eating, usually Chen He basically asks me about Chen Lina's situation on the phone, but this time he wants to meet and talk with me.
I pondered for a long time, then hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I have time in the evening, where do you want to meet?" ”
Chen Yu said: "How is the Dingyue Pavilion? ”
That's where they often go, and I said, "Okay, I'll go over that night." ”
Chen Yu said, "I'll ask Xiaoqun to come and pick you up." ”
I immediately said, "No, no, I can just go over by myself, and I won't bother the small group." ”
Chen Yu said, "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road." ”
I answered, and Chen Yu told me that I would see you in the evening.
After we hung up the phone, I took the mobile phone and looked at it a little incomprehensibly, and thought that it would be safer to call Chen Lina, but the phone was dialed, but no one answered, I called again, but no one answered, thinking about it, I simply edited a text message for her, and told her that her brother asked me to meet.
After the delivery was successful, I glanced at the time, and it was not far from evening.
I waited at home until seven o'clock, but I didn't wait for Chen Lina to reply to my text message, but waited for Chen Qi's call, he asked if he was coming, I had been waiting for him at home for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, I'll come over now." ”
He smiled and said yes, and told me to be safe on the road.
When I arrived at the Dingyue Pavilion, the small group was waiting for me at the door of the Dingyue Pavilion, and as soon as he saw me coming, he greeted me and called, "Miss Xu." ”
I smiled at the group, and he led me inside, and I followed behind the group.
After arriving inside, I thought it was only Chen Qian, but I didn't expect his wife, Peng Wu, to be there, and both husbands and wives immediately got up to greet me.
They are all acquaintances, so I also behaved very casually and called them: "Brother Chen, Sister Peng Wu." ”
Peng Wu smiled at me, then walked over, took my hand very kindly and said, "Kaiyan, you sit." ”
Her movements were a little sluggish, but I noticed that Peng Wu seemed to be a little fatter, not only on her face, but also on her belly.
I didn't know what I was doing, so I subconsciously guessed: "Sister Peng Wu, are you pregnant?" ”
As soon as my words came out, Chen Yu, who was on the side, immediately smiled and said, "Open your face, just your sharp eyes." ”
Peng Wu didn't even deny it, but said with a slightly shy face: "It's only been two months, why did you find out?" Is it so obvious? ”
I didn't expect it to be true, and it was a guess.
I hurriedly said, "Congratulations, congratulations." He said to Chen Que again: "Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be a father." ”
Chen Qi was also quite happy, and said with the joy of being a father on his face: "No, this is an unexpected joy, neither Peng Wu nor I expected it." ”
We stood there and talked, and Chen Qi beckoned me to sit down.
I didn't say anything more, and sat down with Peng Wu.
Peng Wu poured me tea on the side, but Chen Yu handed me the menu and asked me to order a few of my favorite foods. I didn't plan to eat here, but I just came to meet Chen Qi, so I took the initiative to ask: "Brother Chen, you and Sister Peng Wu invited me out today, shouldn't it be to have a meal with me?" ”
Everyone is smart, not stupid.
Chen Qian didn't go around in circles, he said: "It's true, open face." ”
I had a slight bottom in my heart.
Chen Yu habitually wanted to get a cigarette, but as soon as he saw Peng Wu next to him, probably because she was pregnant, he stopped, stuffed the cigarette back, and said to me: "We actually have nothing else to look for you except Lina's business." Chen Qi looked at me, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, but was replaced by seriousness, he asked: "Kaiyan, you and Lina are best friends, don't you really know about her recent relationship?" ”
Sure enough, it's still this matter, Chen Lina is my friend, so naturally I won't say anything, and I really don't know much about the situation, I don't even know who it is, so I immediately shook my head and said: "Brother Chen, I only know that she has a boyfriend, and the rest is really not very clear." ”
Peng Wu was making tea on the side, and when she heard my answer, she glanced at me, but soon continued to move on to her hands.
And Chen Yu suddenly took something and put it on the table and said, "You look at one thing first." ”
It was a brown paper bag, I glanced at Chen Qi, he motioned for me to take it, and I reached out and picked it up and took the thing out of it.
It turned out to be some photos, photos of Chen Lina and a man hugging, kissing, shopping, and laughing.
And the man in the photo is a little familiar, although I can't see the face, but I always think that I have seen it somewhere.
I looked at Chen He again, and Chen Qi said to me: "You know the person inside, he is your classmate with Lina, and his name is Qiao Bin." ”
As soon as he said this, I was shocked, it could be Qiao Bin?!
I picked up the photo on the table again, looked at it repeatedly, and after Chen Qi said so, it was really Qiao Bin.
No wonder I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.
Chen Yu took the boiled tea from Peng Wu's hand, added tea to my teacup and said, "It seems that you really don't know about this." ”
I said, "She only told me that she had a boyfriend, but she didn't tell me who it was." ”
Chen Yu said: "She has been making a fuss about getting married recently, do you know about this? ”
When Chen Lina told me about this, I didn't deny it, but just whispered: "She mentioned it to me, but I don't know what it is." ”
I saw that Chen Qi's face was not very good, so I took the initiative to ask: "Brother Chen Qi, isn't this a good thing?" Lina is now in the grade of talking about her boyfriend, and Qiao Bin is very good and motivated, and he has always liked Lina, but he is a good match for Lina. ”
Qiao Bin is my classmate and my friend, he likes Chen Lina, I learned about it a long time ago, but I didn't expect that the two of them would really become today, I naturally wanted to say a few good words for Qiao Bin in front of Chen Qi.
But Chen Yan has never had a very good impression of Qiao Bin, as soon as my words came out, his face was really even more displeased, he said: "Kaiyan, what you said is right, Lina is indeed the age when she should talk about marriage, but I don't want this person in the photo, he is my sister, I naturally hope that she will marry, it is a good choice, not the kind with a very bad family background, you know, Lina is a big spend, usually he is willful and reckless outside the house, if she really marries this Qiao Bin, do you think she can get used to it?" ”
Chen Yu said: "She is still not very mature, and it is estimated that she is angry with her family during this time, so she is with this Qiao Bin, deliberately angry with our family members who care about her." ”
Peng Wu also said at this time: "Kaiyan, Brother Lina has hardly slept well recently for her sake, you help us persuade her, let her not mess around, and let her listen to the words of her family." ”
Chen He came today, naturally for this matter.
He was probably really upset, so he didn't care about Peng Wu being pregnant, after the onset of smoking, he smoked a cigarette out, and finally lit it for himself, he took a puff, then spit out a puff of cigarette and said: "You are Lina's friend, she usually listens to what you say, so you help us persuade her." ”
The smoke exhaled by Chen Qi surrounded his face, and his expression at this time could be described as extremely annoyed.
I looked at Chen Qi's expression, and reminded Chen Qi: "Brother Chen, Sister Peng Wu is pregnant, you should smoke less." ”
I don't know why I said such a sentence so much, and Peng Wu himself didn't seem to mind very much, Chen Qi heard me say this, so he glanced at her, and he whispered: "I'm sorry." Then he immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
He said: "I'm a bit addicted to smoking, I'm sorry. ”
I said, "It's fine. ”
Peng Wu said: "Kaiyan, you can talk about him, he usually doesn't care about these things at home." ”
She looked at Chen Qi very angrily, but in the face of his wife Peng Wu's disgust, Chen Qi just smiled at her.
Looking at the two of them, I couldn't help but think again, does Chen Yu really love Peng Wu? The two seem to be extremely affectionate, but if they think about it carefully, if they love, how can they be so careless when their wife is pregnant?
I looked at it for a while, and immediately turned the topic to the matter of Chen Qian's request, but I didn't obey his words, but said: "Brother Chen, Qiao Bin is really good, we are classmates, although his family's background is not very good, but he is quite good, he is still Chen Qingchuan's friend." ”
Chen Qi looked at the cigarette butts that were still smoking in the ashtray, he lifted the teacup and poured some water into it, completely extinguished it and said: "People are good, but we think that if it can't be done, it won't work, and there is no reason to talk about it." ”
Chen Qian raised his eyes to look at me, his face was not as kind as before, he said: "Kaiyan, I hope you understand my hardships as a brother, I want Lina to be happy in this world more than anyone else, you don't have to convince me again, what about Qiao Bin, I don't want to understand at all, I just know that he can't do it." ”
Peng Wu also obviously felt that Chen Qi's face had changed, so he gently pushed me and said, "You Brother Chen is like this, Lina's matter, he has always said the same." ”
Probably because I shouldn't speak for Qiao Bin, Chen Qi was a little unhappy, and maybe even doubted that Lina and Qiao Bin were going to get married, and whether I would be a matchmaker.
Chen He was no longer polite to me, he changed his posture, sat down in front of me solemnly and said: "Kaiyan, this matter, no matter what you think of Qiao Bin, I hope you are against it, this is the only thing Brother Chen asks you to do." ”
At this time, my mobile phone vibrate, I immediately took it out, Chen Lina finally sent me a text message back, she was very excited in the text message and said to me: "If you ignore him, he is a psychopath, I don't want to tell him now!" ”
Chen Lina sent a few more bombing messages, asking where I am now, and she will come over now.
As soon as I saw that her tone was completely about to come over and quarrel, I naturally didn't tell her where we were, so I ignored her for the time being, but said to Chen Qi: "Brother Chen, I don't have the right to call the shots about Lina, so no matter what the situation is, I will remain neutral, and I can't help you persuade Lina, I hope you understand, and I also hope that she is happy." ”
Chen Yu didn't expect that I didn't plan to help him.
He looked at me with a slightly gloomy face.
Peng Wu was afraid that Chen He would be angry, so he immediately comforted him and said: "Chen Qi, it's already good for Kaiyan to do this, as a friend, it's even more difficult for her to say anything, she is neutral but we are all good." ”
Peng Wu thought for a while and said, "Let me talk to Kaiyan." ”
Where did Chen Qi still have his usual temper, he took out a cigarette again and said, "Go ahead." Then he lit it again and smoked there.
Peng Wu pulled me up and walked out.
After arriving at the compartment inside, Peng Wu said to me: "Don't care about Chen Qi's attitude, he has been angry with everyone recently, and he is not aimed at you." ”
I said, "I don't care, Sister Peng Wu, you can rest assured." ”
I thought that Peng Wu would continue to ask me about Chen Lina, but who knows, she didn't mention it over there, but asked me: "Kaiyan, I heard about you and Qingchuan a few days ago." ”
I looked at Peng Wu.
She didn't seem to pull me out alone for Chen Lina's sake.
She said: "Kaiyan, Sister Peng Wu said something that shouldn't be said, I believe you, if you still have nostalgia for Qingchuan, you wouldn't have divorced Qingchuan in the first place, but Qingchuan has always been to you..." Peng Wu twisted and turned, her words never fell on the point, she paused for a few seconds, and finally asked: "Can you look at Sister Peng Wu's face and persuade Qingchuan?" ”
It's funny today, the two husbands and wives asked me out, not for the same thing, but for the same purpose, persuasion.
Persuade this, persuade that.
I pretended not to pay attention to the meaning of Peng Wu's words and asked, "Sister Peng Wu, what do you mean?" ”
Peng Wu said: "Yutang still likes Qingchuan very much, so I hope you persuade Qingchuan." ”
I said to Peng Wu: "Sister Peng Wu, I'm afraid I can't help with this matter, what Chen Qingchuan thinks about Lin Yutang and the situation, I'm afraid my ex-wife can't interfere." ”
I rejected her directly, and I said: "I know that you are Lin Yutang's friend, but Sister Peng Wu, I still can't interfere, if he likes her, he will naturally continue with her, you don't have to worry too much." ”
I immediately raised my hand again and said, "It's not too early, Sister Yutang, I still have to go to the old house to see Mother Jin, so I won't tell you more." ”
I am usually polite to Peng Wu, she thinks I may be very good at talking, but in fact she is wrong, the reason why Chen Lina and I can be friends is because the two of us are the same kind of people, when we are good at talking, we are good at talking, and when we are not good at talking, we basically don't care about feelings.
I smiled at her, "I'm sorry. I didn't stay in it long, but walked out.
Peng Wu stood there and didn't chase it out, just watched.
And Chen Qi was still sitting outside, and when he saw me coming out, he got up.
I also said: "Brother Chen, I still have something to do, I won't talk to you more first, I have to go back to the old house." ”
At this time, Peng Wu also came out of it, Chen Qi heard her footsteps and looked at her, Peng Wu didn't speak.
Chen Yu didn't force it anymore, he smiled and said, "Well, okay, you go back early." ”
I nodded at him, smiled at Peng Wu again, and then retreated from the two couples, and then left the wing, and was sent away by a small group of Chen Qi's assistants.
After waiting for the taxi, I told Chen Lina about what I had just met with his brother, and after describing it to her, I asked her if her mysterious boyfriend was Qiao Bin.
Chen Lina was silent on the phone for a second, she probably knew that she couldn't hide it, and said to me: "Yes." She was afraid that I would laugh at her, so she immediately said, "He is really good to me, I just fell in love with her, you must not think that I liked him before." ”
Chen Lina didn't admit that she had a good impression of Qiao Bin before, but it is true that she basically dodged Qiao Bin before.
But I always think that Chen Lina should have some thoughts about Qiao Bin, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Now that the two of them are together, I am really a little happy, but thinking of what Chen Qi said to me before, I didn't encourage anything, but said to her: "Your brother doesn't seem to like Qiao Bin." ”
Chen Lina said: "You care about him, who does he like?" Does the person I like need him to like? ”
Chen Lina said again: "Anyway, don't listen to what he said. ”
I don't understand what happened to the two siblings.
I said, "Okay, anyway, I don't know your situation, you and Qiao Bin can see what you think." ”
Chen Lina said: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll tell you later." ”
I didn't say much to her, and I replied, "Okay." ”
The car went directly to the old house, and when I arrived there, Jin's mother hadn't slept yet, she was watching TV in the living room, she was very happy when she saw me coming, she waved to me, let me go, I still carried some fruit in my hand, I handed the fruit to my aunt, and I walked towards Jin's mother.
I smiled and asked Mama Jin, "How are you these days?" Are you comfortable? ”
Mother Jin said, "It's a lot better." After she answered, she asked me, "Kaiyan, I heard that Qingchuan and Miss Nalin have divorced." ”
When I heard Mother Jin say this, I subconsciously asked, "What?" ”
Mother Jin said, "You don't know about this? I heard that the Chen family is making a lot of trouble over this matter now. ”
I said, "Divorce? I thought it was unlikely, so I asked Mama Jin again: "Did you hear it wrong?" ”
