In the deep and quiet corridor, except for the faint sound of the hurried footsteps of a group of people, there was no other sound, and the flickering lights along the way couldn't help but make people a little confused, Meng Qilan quickly followed Xu Yong through the empty corridor, and he was asked to keep his head down and not look around on the whole road, so he didn't notice what the structure of the Xu family's old mansion was.

Walking to a closed blue-brown door, Xu Yong stopped, he stopped Meng Qilan a little outside, and opened the door a crack lightly, just enough for himself to poke his head in, and said a few words to the people inside.

"Please come in. ”

Meng Qilan was respectfully invited in by Xu Yong, and as soon as he entered the door, he first saw the dying old man Xu lying on a soft and gorgeous big bed, his face was haggard, and his eyes were sunken into his waist.

"Doctor Meng......" Xu Haiyan was originally lying down, but when Meng Qilan entered the door, he was helped up by the person next to him and leaned against the head of the bed, "Come and sit." ”

Meng Qilan seemed to be a little hesitant, he looked at the scene in front of him and didn't move for a long time, could it be that they wanted to use bitter tricks to force him to comply?

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a day, what's wrong with you?" Although he only saw the old man on the news yesterday, he seems to be in good spirits, how can he be like this in just one day, except for acting, Meng Qilan doesn't know anything else.

There were only three people left in this room except Meng Qilan, and surprisingly, none of them had any intention of answering his questions...

"Doctor Meng, the old man takes a fancy to your excellent medical skills and prominent family background, and he will not buy people because of some small favors, so he specially invited you to come to his home and treat him secretly. Xu Yong is just concise and never talks too much nonsense.

Are you invited here? Can I not come to that formation? Meng Qilan couldn't help muttering in his heart, but for the sake of self-cultivation, he still held back, and he slowly stepped forward and sat on the chair closest to Old Man Xu's bed.

"I'll take a look first. "He doesn't even have the most basic stethoscope today, so he can only observe Old Man Xu first.

At this time, Xu Haiyan's skin was dull, his whole complexion was extremely poor, his face was black and dull, and he looked very dry and rough, and he had already shown a common "bronze" face for liver cancer.

"Mr. Xu..."As Xu Haiyan's previous attending doctor, he was a little difficult to speak, and he glanced at Xu Yong who was a little evasive, so he continued to speak under great pressure, "Before you had heart bypass surgery, I said during the physical examination that your liver function has declined sharply, and it may deteriorate at any time, just like now...... But at that time, you said that you would not let us operate on you......"

"You mean, I've already had liver cancer?" Xu Haiyan struggled to widen his eyes in pain, the look became more and more terrifying, he coughed twice and then lay back panting.

"For now, yes. Meng Qilan's tone was very affirmative, he had reminded the old man a long time ago, but at that time, Xu Haiyan was busy with the company and the cooperation with the Li family, so he had no time to think about his body.

"I just feel that this old and useless body is a little uncomfortable, I thought it would be cured, but I didn't expect it, it's too late......"

Xu Haiyan looked weakly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, his pale hair glowing slightly silver in the dim light under the light, his eyes were too cloudy, and he had to be very careful to make out the unwillingness written inside, the kind of resentment crawled along the corners of his eyes to every wrinkle.

He waved his hand, and Xu Yong immediately understood.

"Dr. Meng, please. ”

Meng Qilan naturally didn't want to stay or say more, at this time he was just a doctor and not Xu Sinan's friend.

"Doctor Meng, please come back tomorrow, please be sure to pack some clothes and stay at Xu's house for a while. When he went out, Xu Yong took out a bank card and conveyed all the meaning of Old Man Xu to Meng Qilan, "This is your fee this time, and I have already helped you say hello at the hospital." ”

"What are you doing here?" Meng Qilan suddenly felt that he was as uncomfortable as if he was taking a bribe at this moment, especially in such a dark environment, in the face of such an unsmiling person, he was afraid that a group of policemen would rush out immediately and take him away......

Xu Yong saw that Meng Qilan had not accepted the card, smiled politely, and forced it into his hand, "You will be an old man and ask you to be a private doctor, this is what you deserve." ”

At this moment, he felt that Xu Yong's smile just now was a mockery, as if he was originally a sanctimonious hypocrite pretending......

Since it's all like this, don't be in vain. Meng Qilan shrugged his shoulders, put the card in his pocket, pursed his lips and nodded, which was considered a promise.

"Then I'll pick you up myself tomorrow. ”

"Wait," Meng Qilan rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and continued, "I have one condition, I need to bring an assistant myself. ”

"Yes, but you have to make sure that your assistant is not an unreliable person. ”

Meng Qilan's request was not excessive, and Xu Yong agreed for the old man, naturally because according to common sense, doctors generally collaborated with familiar people to improve the quality of work.

Everyone was gone, and the house was suddenly cleared. Xu Haiyan was lying on the bed, only to feel a pain in his chest, he slowly turned sideways, reached out to a picture frame on the bedside table, and turned on a table lamp before the head of the bed lit up.

He held the picture frame in his hand with difficulty, looked carefully at the photo inside by the light, seemed to be a little unable to see clearly, stretched out his crumpled hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then carefully rubbed the edge of the wooden picture frame. In the photo frame is a photo of Xu Sinan on his tenth birthday and Xu Xiang, both of whom are his closest relatives, and their mother and son are now far away from him.

"As long as you ...... well," he said only half a sentence, then stopped, slowly put the picture back, and as if nothing had happened, he trembled and took the glass of water on the bedside table, took a sip, moistened his parched lips for a while, and then went back to lying down.

The people of all shapes and sizes in this world meet, move, and spark are completely different, but we all desire our luck to be greater than our strength, and we all long to meet people who are better than ourselves.

Shen Bijun didn't take the dizziness in the morning seriously, as soon as the sun came out in the afternoon, as soon as the sky had some warmth, he hurriedly asked Meng Lianxi to go to the mall, women are like this, even if they don't buy anything, just walking around, looking at those beautiful clothes and bags, they will be in a good mood and find a sense of belonging, of course, only for secular women like Shen Bijun.

Meng Lianxi is different, she doesn't know how to wear hating the sky on a whim, maybe this is enough to maintain her perfect image, she was forced to follow Shen Bijun from the first store in that row to the last one in an afternoon......

Who doesn't know that their Mon mall, known for its bigness......

"Actually, you just want to use me to give you a discount, right?" Passing by a tea restaurant, Meng Lianxi finally had a chance to sit down, and in the corner of the table that others couldn't see, she quietly dragged her shoes, and then found the comfort she hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Bijun on the other side didn't know anything, he was eating the new coffee cake heartlessly, and he kept smashing his mouth after eating, and by the way, he didn't forget to frantically hint at Meng Lianxi, who didn't move a bite of the cake, "Eh, you don't eat cake, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't eat it before, but now it's changed. Meng Lianxi noticed her ill-intentioned gaze, and hurriedly stuck a large piece of cake with a fork and put it in his mouth, "Shen Bijun, you are too vicious. ”

The cake was stuffed in her mouth, and Shen Bijun didn't hear what she said, she was still drinking freshly squeezed juice contentedly, like a carefree girl, where there was a little shadow of a married woman.

"That's right," Shen Bijun put the cup aside, playing with a long straw in his hand, and then brought his face closer to Meng Lianxi, regardless of whether she disliked it or not, "Have you noticed that since Lu Yuruan left, your brother has completely changed as a person?"

"Lu Yuruan, what Lu Yuruan?" Meng Lianxi elegantly wiped the cream on her lips with a tissue, she seemed to remember something, "You said the same thing last time in my house, so who is Lu Yuruan? My brother's mistress? No, he didn't fall in love." But... I think my temperament has changed drastically...... It's true. ”

Shen Bijun forgot about this stubble again, they didn't have any memory of Lu Yuruan at all... She didn't know how to explain to Meng Lianxi for a while, and gestured with her hands out of thin air, but she felt that it was not vivid and specific enough, so she gave up.

"Isn't it... I mainly want to talk about this big change of temperament...... "She still thinks it's more appropriate to get by changing the subject.

What was Meng Qilan like before? He smiled and groaned at everyone, he didn't get angry or speak loudly, he was always polite and obedient, and even when you walked up to him and cursed loudly, he would nagging a few words at most and then touch you with love and peace......

Although he still looks like he is now, he still has the most important thing to be self-contained and elegant, but he obviously feels that getting along with him is no longer suppressed before, and his smile now is really different from the worldly smile he used to have. There will even be an occasional joke or something, which is simply not too flattering......

"The devil knows what stimulated him......" Meng Lianxi didn't seem to be worried about his brother at all, and casually flipped through the matching magazines on the table...... This couldn't help but make Shen Bijun begin to doubt their bloodline......

That... If Wen Xian leaves, I will ...... Shen Bijun unconsciously put these plots on herself, maybe she was protected for too long, she even thought about these and unexpectedly felt that she couldn't bear it, which great man said, love makes people have armor and weakness...... She can't accept her increasingly fragile glass heart......

"Let's go to the bookstore we used to go to when we were in college, and go there and pick up a second-hand book for my brother as a birthday present. Fortunately, Meng Lianxi didn't notice Shen Bijun's abnormality, and continued to plan the next trip.

"You... Like someone who lacks the money to buy a first-hand book...... "Oh... They rich people like things with a sense of age...

Meng Lianxi really endured the pain in his feet and went to the bookstore called "That's all" with Shen Bijun, this store is a little old, but the books in it are rich like a small book museum, when they went to college, business was very good, because the store was too small, every time everyone wanted to buy books, they lined up in the alley outside. At that time, the store has not been expanded, because the boss said that he likes to fill a small space, so that it is more secure, he does not like the empty, saying that the empty always makes people uneasy and lonely, so that later he died of illness, and his lover still guards his small shop.

Now business here is obviously sluggish, and with the rapid development of the times, there are really not many people who like to go to this small place to read books so much. And this place is too remote, there are many high-rise buildings in front of it, which is completely obscured, almost no one can notice, and the scale is smaller than before, not even a small bubble tea shop.

"This is it. Shen Bijun is now at the door, and she can actually show a little more homesickness, which are all memories of her and Meng Lianxi, she turned around, took Meng Lianxi's hand, and said seriously: "Do you remember our first date, it was here!"

"You can pull it...... Meng Lianxi glanced at her, ignored her, and entered the small bookstore before her.

After Meng Lianxi left, a large area of sight in front of Shen Bijun's eyes was empty, and it was because of this that she accidentally noticed a shop sign across the road, which was very familiar......

She immediately took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the shop card, and then enlarged it herself to look at it carefully, this is really not familiar, but very familiar, the words on the store sign are "Love Therapy Room", font design and color, and even a logo in the corner, are exactly the same as her previous treatment room, even... Even the billboards were made of her previous blue-brown ......

"Lian Xi, I... I've got something to do, I'm going to go there, and you'll come to me after you buy it. After Shen Bijun finished speaking, he ran across the road.

"Eh, why are you going......"

This is obviously her store card, and her heart is flustered all the way over. Shen Bijun suddenly remembered that when she was demolished, she felt that these were not needed, and they were specially disposed of, how could they still appear here?

Who the hell could it be, using her signboard?
