Cheng Rao didn't bother to argue with him, who said that this kind of thing must be done by a woman?

Sometimes men are much more skilled than women.

However, as soon as Wei Chi said this, Cheng Rao knew that he must be inexperienced.

So, she gave Wei Chi guidance: "Just hook the buttons on both sides together." ”

Yu Chi let out an "oh", pinched the ends of his underwear with both hands and looked at it carefully, and carefully understood the meaning of Cheng Rao's words just now before he started.

Although the action was a little jerky, it was successfully buckled.

After buttoning the button, Wei Chi asked Cheng Rao: "Is this okay?" ”

Cheng Rao felt it, "Oh, okay." ”

Then, go ahead and get dressed.

Yu Chi suddenly had a feeling that he would be thrown away when he ran out.

He coughed, wanting to attract Cheng Rao's attention through this behavior. However, Cheng Rao was not attracted to him at all.

So, Wei Chi had no choice but to say to her, "Your mother called last night. ”

Cheng Rao was originally dressing, but when she heard Yu Chi say this, the movements in her hands immediately stopped, and her face was a little ugly.

The note to Huang Ping in her mobile phone, if she didn't answer the phone, she wouldn't be able to tell who it was-

Thinking of this, Cheng Rao's face became even more ugly.

She stared at Wei Chi with a wary look in her eyes: "You answered my phone?" ”

"Yes." Wei Chi did not deny it, "She told you to go back early when you wake up." ”

“…… Who asked you to pick it up? Cheng Rao's voice was a few degrees colder than before, "Do you understand what privacy is?" ”

Yu Chi: "......"

It's true that he did something inappropriate, so he didn't think to defend it.

However, the more silent he was, the more angry Cheng Rao became.

She knows Huang Ping's personality, she didn't return overnight, Huang Ping must be angry enough, so she called her.

As a result, it was a man who answered the phone......

Thinking of this, Cheng Rao took a deep breath, turned her head and asked Wei Chi, "What did you say to her?" ”

Wei Chi recalled his conversation with Huang Ping last night, "Oh, let's just say that you fell asleep and couldn't wake up." ”

Cheng Rao: "...... And also? ”

"Also, I told her I wanted you to be my girlfriend." When he said this, Wei Chi's expression was somewhat unnatural.

After all, he had never said such a thing to a woman before.

It's not the first time Cheng Rao has heard Yu Chi mention his girlfriend, Yu Chi told her before, and she can ignore it.

Unexpectedly, she didn't agree yet, so Yu Chi told Huang Ping first.

Cheng Rao tried to think about how Huang Ping would interrogate her after she went back. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Impossible." Cheng Rao gave Wei Chi a concise and clear answer.

When Yu Chi heard Cheng Rao say this, he grabbed her arm.

"I've slept all the time, what's impossible?" Wei Chi stared at Cheng Rao, and remembered the aggrieved experience of being used as a stand-in by her last night.

He gritted his teeth, "Why did you drink last night?" ”

Cheng Rao: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Yu Chi: "I'm serious. ”

Cheng Rao: "? ”

"I haven't chased a woman, I don't know how to chase her." Wei Chi confessed to Cheng Rao, "But I can learn, just promise me when you are satisfied." ”

It's not that no one has confessed when Cheng Rao was in school, but it's really the first time she's seen such a simple and unpretentious "confession" as Wei Chi.

Maybe it can't be called a confession, after all, when no one confesses, it's still so tough, as if it's giving orders.

"I'll go home." Cheng Rao couldn't give him an answer, and she didn't plan to continue the topic with him.

"Eat before you go." Speaking of this, Yu Chi grabbed Cheng Rao's wrist again.

Then, he pulled Cheng Rao into the living room and pointed to the breakfast on the coffee table, "Eat." ”

Cheng Rao was not pretentious enough not to eat, she went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out for breakfast.

Yu Chi bought soy milk and burritos, Cheng Rao drank a cup of soy milk, and ate a burrito to be full.

Wei Chi originally planned to send Cheng Rao back, but Cheng Rao refused.

So, I had no choice but to give up.

**

Today happens to be the weekend, and Huang Ping doesn't have to go to work.

When Cheng Rao took a taxi back home, she ran into Huang Ping head-on.

Headache.

After entering the door, Cheng Rao subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

What awaits her next, she knows very well.

Sure enough, when she was still changing her shoes, Huang Ping had already opened her mouth to question.

"Where did you go last night?" Huang Ping asked.

Cheng Rao tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling that Huang Ping's question was a bit hypocritical.

She had already called, she knew everything clearly, and asked her what she was doing?

"Don't you know?" Cheng Rao asked Huang Ping rhetorically.

Huang Ping was asked by Cheng Rao and had nothing to say.

After a few seconds of silence, she sighed imperceptibly: "Pay attention!" ”

Cheng Rao didn't answer. Huang Ping said again: "If there is a suitable person, you can try to develop it." But remember, don't look for the kind of career precarious one anymore. Find a stable career that is good for you, and you're old enough to start a family—"

"I don't like him." Cheng Rao interrupted Huang Ping's words, "Besides, his career is also unstable. ”

Hearing this, Huang Ping couldn't help frowning: "What kind of profession does he have?" ”

"A profession that can kill at any moment." Cheng Rao specifically picked out what Huang Ping didn't like to hear.

"Well, even if it's not him, it's someone else." Huang Ping rarely lost her temper, and said to Cheng Rao seriously: "People shouldn't live in the past, no matter how much you like Xiao Ye, he can't come back, you still have decades in your life, and it's completely unnecessary to keep yourself trapped in place because of this incident." ”

Huang Ping's attitude is already very good, she has been patient, hoping that Cheng Rao can listen to her words.

However, Cheng Rao was very resistant to her words.

"So should I be like you, hurry out of the past, and find someone else to live with?"

Thinking of her and Qiao Ruzhang's affairs, Cheng Rao is still angry.

Huang Ping knew that Cheng Rao minded this matter.

She directly ignored Cheng Rao's words, "Wise people never live in the past. ”

At this point, Cheng Rao and Huang Ping naturally have different attitudes.

But she is dizzy now, and she doesn't have the heart to debate with Huang Ping.

So, the topic can basically be over.

Cheng Rao turned around and went upstairs, walking to her room without looking back.

**

In the next few days, Cheng Rao stayed at home and never went out, nor did she contact Wei Chi.

stayed at home for a few days, and on the 23rd, Cheng Xun's death day.

Cheng Rao slept early the night before, and got up early the next morning, at six o'clock.

After she changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw Qiao Ruzhang downstairs.

After meeting Qiao Ruzhang, Cheng Rao was obviously stunned.

She had a big quarrel with Huang Ping that day because of this incident, and Cheng Rao originally thought that after that quarrel, Huang Ping would not bring Qiao Ruzhang to appear again.

Unexpectedly, she still brought him with her-

Cheng Rao's face was a little ugly.

However, Qiao Ruzhang didn't care about Cheng Rao's attitude at all.

He looked at Cheng Rao, smiled at Cheng Rao, and then said, "Get up, I bought breakfast and come over, let's go to the restaurant to eat." ”

Qiao Ruzhang's attitude was very gentle.

Objectively speaking, he is really good.

Looking at the greasy that there is no middle-aged man, and there is no rich man's shelf, he is very easy-going and respectful.

And...... It's also good for Huang Ping.

However, Cheng Rao still couldn't accept it in her heart.

She knows very well that her thoughts are very selfish, and asking Huang Ping to never marry again for the sake of Cheng Lu is essentially a kind of kidnapping.

Although she was unhappy, Cheng Rao still maintained basic politeness.

She nodded towards Qiao Ruzhang, "Okay, thank you." ”

After that, I went to the restaurant.

When I entered the restaurant, Huang Ping was eating.

Their mother and daughter basically didn't communicate much in the past two days, Cheng Rao just glanced at Huang Ping and sat down to eat.

Huang Ping moved her lips when she saw Cheng Rao like this, wanting to explain today's events to her, but after seeing her attitude, she finally held back.

………

At half past seven, the group prepared to leave for the cemetery.

Cheng Xun's cemetery, which is more than two hours' drive from the city of Los Angeles, was bought by Huang Ping as a cemetery after his death, and is surrounded by a village where no one lives.

They drove an extended car, the front driver drove the car, Cheng Rao sat in the passenger seat, and Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang sat in the back seat.

After getting in the car, Cheng Rao didn't speak. It's Qiao Ruzhang and Huang Ping, who have been chatting on the road, talking about work matters.

Cheng Rao is not interested in things like managing a company, and Cheng Rao basically doesn't understand what the two of them are talking about.

However, Qiao Ruzhang's concern for Huang Ping between the lines, Cheng Rao can feel it.

On the way, Huang Ping seemed to be unwell and coughed a few times.

After hearing Huang Ping's cough, Qiao Ruzhang immediately picked up the thermos cup next to him and opened it to pour water for Huang Ping.

"Drink some water first." He took care of Huang Ping very intimately.

Cheng Rao sat in the front row, watching the interaction between the two of them from the rearview mirror, with no expression on her face.

However, the hand hanging at his side was constantly tightening.

**

For more than two hours, the car stopped at the entrance of the cemetery.

After parking, Cheng Rao got out of the car first.

She didn't wait for Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang, and walked in the direction of the tombstone alone.

After stopping, Cheng Rao bowed three times, and then stood quietly to the side.

Not long after, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang also came over.

Huang Ping seems to be not feeling well, probably with motion sickness.

So when she walked, Qiao Ruzhang held her waist.

Cheng Rao saw the two of them walking up in such a posture, and her expression changed slightly.

Then, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xun's tombstone next to her.

Originally, she didn't want to express any more opinions, but at this moment, Cheng Rao couldn't help it.

She glanced at Qiao Ruzhang's arm, and then said coldly: "It doesn't matter what you do elsewhere, don't hug and hug here." ”

After Huang Ping heard Cheng Rao say this, she also realized that her behavior was inappropriate, she immediately brushed Qiao Ruzhang's arm away, and barely stood alone.

Qiao Ruzhang also understood Huang Ping's approach and didn't say anything.

After spending more than an hour in the cemetery, we set off for the temple.

After Cheng Xun's death, Huang Ping set up a sign for Cheng Xun in the temple in the Linshi Mountains, and he would go over to offer incense every year.

The temperature in the mountainous area is low and the distance is long, after getting in the car, Qiao Ruzhang put a blanket on Huang Ping.

"Put on your clothes first, it's time for the road to get cold." Huang Ping nodded towards Qiao Ruzhang, rare gentleness.

Cheng Rao watched the interaction between the two of them from the rearview mirror, and felt very uncomfortable.

How uncomfortable would Cheng Hao be if he saw such a picture?

"Rao, you are also wearing a little dress, I looked at the weather forecast, the temperature on the mountain over there is less than ten degrees, and it must be cold on the road." Qiao Ruzhang did not ignore Cheng Rao, and took a blanket from behind and handed it to Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao didn't expect Qiao Ruzhang to say this, and after being stunned for a while, she took the blanket from Qiao Ruzhang's hand.

"Thank you." Although she felt uncomfortable, she maintained basic politeness.

When I came to the temple, it was already evening.

The weather was indeed very cold, Cheng Rao wore a short-sleeved dress, and when she got out of the car, she was wrapped in a blanket, and she still shivered inevitably.

Fortunately, they quickly entered the hotel on the mountain.

………

Huang Ping's body is weak, and her physical condition is especially bad during this time.

The journey was bumpy and cold, and after returning to the hotel, I began to cough up blood.

Qiao Ruzhang stood beside her, looking at her painful appearance, frowning.

After Huang Ping finished coughing, Qiao Ruzhang helped her up, raised his hand to arrange her hair, and sighed lightly.

"You can't drag it out, make a plan, let's go to the United States for treatment."

"Not yet, let's wait......" Huang Ping's voice was weak, "I want to wait for Cheng Rao to take over the company." ”

"But your body can't wait that long." Qiao Ruzhang's voice was a lot more serious, "It has been getting worse recently, if you don't control it anymore, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

"The company can be temporarily handed over to his subordinates, Assistant Zhang has been by your side for so many years, doesn't he even have the ability to manage the company for you for a period of time?" Qiao Ruzhang patted her on the back, "Listen to me, nothing is more important than physical health." ”

"The people of the Cheng family are waiting for me to have an accident now, if I leave, they may not know how to make trouble behind my back......" Huang Ping was still worried.

After Cheng Xun died, the people of the Cheng family began to make trouble.

The main people who made trouble were Cheng Rao's aunt and uncle, because the company has always been in charge of Cheng Xun, and the two of them have long been unconvinced and have always wanted to seize power.

As soon as Cheng Lu died, the two of them plotted to usurp the throne.

At that time, Huang Ping tried her best to keep the company in her own hands.

She knew very well that if the company was taken away by them, she would have a hard time with Cheng Rao alone.

Qiao Ruzhang knows all these things.

He groaned for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"I'll talk to Rao Rao later." Qiao Ruzhang comforted Huang Ping, "Don't worry, give her some time, she will slowly become sensible." You mother and daughter just don't communicate too much. ”

After listening to Qiao Ruzhang's words, Huang Ping let out a long sigh.

She was so weak that Qiao Ruzhang didn't continue the topic with her, and helped her to the bedside.

"Take a good rest, it's cold outside, don't go out to eat, I'll bring you dinner later, you can sleep for a while." Qiao Ruzhang gently instructed Huang Ping.

Huang Ping hasn't been cared for like this for many years. Listening to Qiao Ruzhang's strict arrangement, she couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Thank you."

"Don't be so polite to me, okay, let's rest." Qiao Ruzhang smiled at her, and then went out.

**

Cheng Rao sat at the dining table, and after seeing Qiao Ruzhang coming over, she subconsciously looked behind him.

This action was seen by Qiao Ruzhang, and he naturally knew who Cheng Rao was looking for.

So, Qiao Ruzhang smiled and said to Cheng Rao: "Your mother didn't come down, she was a little unwell." ”

Cheng Rao let out an "oh" and said lightly: "I didn't look for her." ”

Such words, listening to Qiao Ruzhang's ears, can't help but be a little naïve.

But after thinking about it, Cheng Rao is also a twenty-four-year-old girl, who has always been protected by Huang Ping, and it is normal to be naïve.

"You care about her." Qiao Ruzhang smiled and continued.

Cheng Rao: "......"

Qiao Ruzhang said: "I know, you are blaming her for bringing me over on such an important day." ”

"Rao, your mother has not been easy for her all these years, her biggest wish is to see you take over the company, Uncle Qiao knows that you are not here, but in this life, everything can not go well, you have grown up, you should learn to take responsibility."

"But I have my dreams, too." This is the first time that Cheng Rao has given a positive response when someone talks to her about this topic.

Probably because the days are relatively special, Cheng Xun's death day, her mood swings themselves are relatively large.

"I just don't like business, my dream is to be a doctor without borders, you can't force me to do something I don't like."

"So who do you think can do what they like for the rest of their lives?" Qiao Ruzhang asked Cheng Rao rhetorically, "Do you think your mother likes to manage the company very much?" ”

Cheng Rao moved her lips: "I think she enjoys it." ”

"Do you know how many things she has to do in a day?" Qiao Ruzhang stated, "She arrives at the company on time at half past eight every day, and then starts to deal with work, the busiest time is to have five to six meetings in the morning, eat a little casually in the car at noon, go to socialize and talk about cooperation in the afternoon, and return home in the evening to deal with documents." On Saturdays and Sundays, there is hardly any time off. ”

After saying this, Qiao Ruzhang paused and looked at Cheng Rao: "Do you know these?" ”

Cheng Rao pursed her lips and looked away.

She just knew that Huang Ping was busy, but she didn't seriously observe how busy she was.

She used to live in school and didn't go home much, but after graduating, she worked in the hospital for half a year, basically living in the staff dormitory, and then she went to MSF and went home less often.

Moreover, she has always felt that Huang Ping enjoys this kind of day very much.

"Why did she do that, you know?" During Cheng Rao's silence, Qiao Ruzhang asked this question again.

Cheng Rao came back to her senses and looked at Qiao Ruzhang, "Why?" ”

Qiao Ruzhang: "It's for you." ”

Cheng Rao: "......"

Qiao Ruzhang: "I know, you must think this is hypocritical, but that's the case. She has done a lot of things for you, but she can't express it, which is why there are so many misunderstandings between you mother and daughter. ”

"Don't think she doesn't understand your dreams and choices, you should also know how dangerous the MSF profession is, she only has you as a daughter, what if something happens to you?"

These questions Qiao Ruzhang said, Cheng Rao had never considered before.

When he asked this, Cheng Rao was silent and couldn't answer a word.

When Qiao Ruzhang saw Cheng Rao's reaction, he knew that his words had an effect.

He said to Cheng Rao: "Think about it, people live for a lifetime, and they can't live just for their own temporary preferences." Uncle Qiao knows that you have your dreams, you are a kind girl who wants to do good deeds. But doing good deeds comes in many forms, and we don't necessarily have to go to that kind of turbulent place. If you want, we can donate money to build a welfare home, or a shelter for street children, but it doesn't have to be this way......"

Cheng Rao pursed her lips and didn't speak.

At this time, the food was served.

Qiao Ruzhang didn't plan to let Cheng Rao figure it out all at once.

The contradiction between their mother and daughter has existed for so many years, and it cannot be solved overnight.

What should be said today has been almost said, and Cheng Rao also began to think.

Now this scale is just right, and if you say more, it is likely to backfire.

**

Los Angeles, Hospital.

In the evening, Wei Chi drove to the hospital to visit Zhang Bai.

When he came in, Shen Yang and Hua Lin were also there.

Yu Chi walked to the hospital bed, looked at Zhang Bai, and said with concern: "Are you better?" ”

Zhang Bai nodded, "Much better." ”

"It's time to change the bandage on your arm." Hua Ling looked at Wei Chi's shoulder and said to him, "Let's go, I'll change it for you." ”

"Well, hard work." Wei Chi nodded at Hua Lin.

True, the bandage on the shoulder has been wrapped for two or three days.

I had another "strenuous exercise" last night, and I sweated so much, it was definitely time to change.

After finalizing it, Hua Ling and Wei Chi walked out of the ward one after another.

Shen Yang stared at the backs of the two of them, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the end, it was Zhang Bai who shouted at him, and he came back to his senses.

"I said, don't you like Hua Lin?" Zhang Bai looked at Shen Yang curiously.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Yang glared at Zhang Bai, "She likes the boss, don't you know?" ”

"But the boss doesn't like her." Speaking of this matter, Zhang Bai's face couldn't help but be a little solemn, "I think the boss is going to be fascinated by that Cheng Rao." ”

………

When changing wounds, it is inevitable to take off the clothes on the upper body.

Wei Chi wore a T-shirt, which was easy to take off.

Usually, when he was injured, Hua Ling often drugged him, and this kind of scene was not unnatural for the two of them.

When Hua Lin put on gloves and went to get the bandages on Wei Chi's body, Leng Buding saw scratches on his body and marks on his teeth.

Hua Line is a normal adult woman, so that she can't even recognize this ambiguous trace.

Seeing this, Hua Lin's face was a little solemn.

She licked her lips and asked Wei Chi, "Have you met Cheng Rao?" ”

Suddenly hearing this kind of question, Wei Chi was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

"No, I asked in passing, I heard them say that Cheng Rao may be a member of a terrorist organization, thinking that you will interrogate her......"

"She's not." As soon as Hua Lin's voice fell, Wei Chi firmly threw out these three words.

Hua Ling was a little surprised after hearing this: "You believe her so much? ”
