Chapter 56: The Pain of Flesh
Cheng Xuedong was standing in front of Liu Xiaoguang, when he vaguely heard Li Mengmeng's voice on the mobile phone, and then saw that Liu Xiaoguang was in a collapsed posture, and hurriedly stepped forward to save the scene.
"Don't panic, calm down and ask what's going on." Cheng Xuedong hugged Liu Xiaoguang, whose body was shaking, and reminded him loudly.
After Liu Xiaoguang took a few breaths desperately, he finally let his inflated emotions cool down: "Meng Meng... How is she now... Is it in the rescue? ”
Li Mengmeng had already heard that the other end of the phone had fallen into a state of chaos, and when she heard Liu Xiaoguang's voice changing tone, she couldn't bear to torture him, so she softened her tone: "What happened to her repeatedly was not her illness but her emotions, does she need to be rescued?" ”
Her words quickly made Liu Xiaoguang's heart, which was about to jump out of her throat, finally return to its original position, but she had no time to blame the girl on the phone for being so startled, but curious: "How can her emotions repeat?" Didn't your dad care enough about her? ”
"It's not like that. Since my dad accepted your entrustment, he has been good to Shuyun and couldn't be better. ”
Liu Xiaoguang's heart was sour: "Then why does she have mood swings?" ”
"Isn't it because of your phone call?" Li Mengmeng couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you choose that I didn't call from the ward?" As a result, she saw your call. ”
Liu Xiaoguang was a little confused: "What's the matter?" Are you personally accompanying her? How could the phone be given to her? ”
Li Mengmeng shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly briefly introduced the situation just now.
Liu Xiaoguang was a little excited: "You mean you have to take care of Shuyun tonight?" ”
"Yes, although my dad loves her very much and regards her as a sweetheart, after all, he has to take care of the company, so he must go home to rest."
Li Mengmeng's speech was obviously to make Liu Xiaoguang jealous while stabilizing his emotions.
Liu Xiaoguang couldn't care about being jealous anymore, but frowned: "Mengmeng, maybe my call was really not at the right time, but she saw the caller ID." The current situation is a bit troublesome, and it is very unfavorable for Shuyun's recuperation. ”
Li Mengmeng was puzzled: "What's the trouble with this?" Are you worried that our connection will make her jealous? ”
Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What did the girl say?" I'm worried that she will suspect that we are secretly colluding and will be wary of you. ”
Li Mengmeng was stunned for a moment: "Why would she think like this?" ”
"She'll think I'm going to hate her for the divorce, and you're going to hate her for stealing your dad. In this way, it will be easy for the two of us to reach a united front. ”
Li Mengmeng couldn't help pouting: "But that's not the case." ”
"Alas, now that she is still sick, she will definitely be cranky. Now that you are taking care of her personally, will you let her rest steadily? ”
Li Mengmeng is a smart girl in the end, after Liu Xiaoguang's explanation, she quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "What do you say to do?" ”
Liu Xiaoguang pondered: "At present, it seems that I can only lie to her." ”
Li Mengmeng's eyes lit up: "What do you want me to say?" I'll listen to you for everything! ”
Besides, as soon as Xiao Shuyun saw Li Mengmeng pick up her mobile phone and go outside to answer the phone, she felt more and more that she had colluded with Liu Xiaoguang, and now that she was in Mengmeng's hands, I don't know what method she would use to torture herself. When she thought of this, she was filled with fear, and her heart suddenly became cute why she would take her father away and take the initiative to take care of herself.
At this time, she wanted to roll over and get out of bed, but she couldn't exert any strength in her body, but she felt that if she continued to stay in the ward, it would be like sitting still, so she struggled to roll her feet off the edge of the bed, and then slowly moved her body out...
When she overcame her dizziness and landed on her feet, she didn't expect her legs to be so weak that she couldn't support her body at all, and the result was that she fell down.
Li Mengmeng happened to end the call and entered the house, and when she saw Xiao Shuyun lying on the floor, she was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Sister Shuyun, what's going on with you?" Li Mengmeng asked with concern as she tried her best to lift her body onto the bed.
Even if Xiao Shuyun wanted to get rid of Li Mengmeng, her body was really not angry, and after this severe flu, her body was completely prostrate.
"You... Leave me alone... I'm going to get out of bed..."
"What are you doing getting out of bed? Oh, I forgot you were going to untie your hands. Alas, it's all your ex-husband's fault, who simply made me angry and delayed such an urgent matter. ”
When Xiao Shuyun heard her take the initiative to mention Liu Xiaoguang, she was immediately surprised: "Mengmeng, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Sister Shuyun, you go to bed and lie down first, and I'll tell you slowly."
Xiao Shuyun was put on the bed by Li Mengmeng full of doubts, and after some tossing, she was exhausted.
Li Mengmeng leaned over at this time and picked up the bedpan from the floor: "Sister Shuyun, let's be convenient first, okay?" ”
Xiao Shuyun shook her head: "Let's talk about what is going on first." ”
Li Mengmeng blinked her eyes widely: "My dad just went out to the company this morning, and I found out that you were too sick, so I contacted your ex-husband through your mobile phone..."
Xiao Shuyun interrupted in shock: "Why are you doing this? ”
"Because I don't want you to be my stepmother, I want to give your ex-husband a chance, hoping that the two of you can reunite."
Li Mengmeng's explanation convinced Xiao Shuyun because it was in line with the current logic.
Xiao Shuyun thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "How did he reply to you at that time?" ”
"Alas, he is simply so ruthless, he actually doesn't care about your life or death, saying that you two are no longer two people, and whether you live or die has nothing to do with him."
Xiao Shuyun's heart trembled: "He... Would you really say that? ”
"Well, I wish you could change your mind about him, would you throw dirty water on him?"
Xiao Shuyun thought about it: "What about later?" ”
"I couldn't care about getting angry with him anymore, so I had to hang up the phone and ask my dad for help."
Xiao Shuyun flashed a suspicious look: "Since you stiffened with him on the phone, why did you leave each other's contact information?" ”
"Well, I couldn't be angry, and after I got you to the hospital, I called his number again, intending to scold him. This time, though, it was from my phone because your phone left me at home. ”
Xiao Shuyun looked surprised: "You remembered his number at that time?" ”
"yes, he's got a good number. I had a very good memory, and I got through to him again. ”
"Oh, did you scold him at the time?"
Li Mengmeng smiled wryly: "Although he answered, he didn't give me a chance to speak at all, and hung up my phone after preemptively saying, 'I'm busy, I'll call you back later'." I was angry, but I couldn't do anything. ”
"Didn't he call you back until just now?"
"Yes, I was looking for his bad luck at the time, so I stored his number, and wanted to settle accounts with him later. As a result, he actually called at this time. ”
"In that case, why are you answering the phone behind my back?"
Li Mengmeng cast a pitying look at her: "Although I am angry with him, I have not lost my mind, how can I scold him in front of you?" What you need now is to recuperate, not to get angry. ”
"Oh, did you scold him this time?"
Li Mengmeng was indignant at this time: "He was too cunning, he didn't give me any chance at all, and after counting me down, he hung up the phone without any leeway." ”
"Ahhh Did he count you down? ”
"Not just me, but my dad."
Xiao Shuyun continued to ask: "What did he count you down?" ”
"He actually said that if he gave you to our Li family, he shouldn't use your illness as an excuse to harass him, causing him to almost have an accident at work. Alas, his words are hard to hear, but thankfully I didn't let you hear them. ”
Xiao Shuyun was silent, the man who used to be considerate of him before was no stranger to him. As soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but squeeze out a few bean-sized tears from the corners of her eyes.
Li Mengmeng's heart moved: "Are you sad for this kind of man?" ”
Xiao Shuyun didn't have the ability to hide it: "I... After all, I was married to him, and I felt a little sad to learn that he was so ruthless. ”
Li Mengmeng opened her mouth to comfort her a few more words, but she didn't know where to start. In fact, she didn't feel even more bad in her heart. What Liu Xiaoguang taught her just now was to let Xiao Shuyun feel at ease with her and recuperate under her care. But when she thought that Liu Xiaoguang was actually kind and bitter for his ex-wife, she could only shed tears of emotion in her heart.
Besides, after Liu Xiaoguang finished talking to Li Mengmeng on the phone, his heart was extremely empty, and an indescribable melancholy permeated the depths of his heart, silently opposite Cheng Xuedong beside him.
Cheng Xuedong listened to Liu Xiaoguang's instructions to Li Mengmeng throughout the whole process, and now seeing his sad expression, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old Liu, you obviously can't let her go in your heart, why bother to let her hurt you again?" ”
Liu Xiaoguang shook his head gently: "If what I do is a kind of harm to her, it is also for her good, this is a knife that has to be used to treat her inner trauma." However, she will recover quickly after a sharp period of pain. ”
"Just a sharp pain? But if there was no anesthetic, this knife would have made her heartache! ”
Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "Isn't it just her heartache?" Who doesn't have heartache? Only by going through some painful experience can each of us be reborn as human beings. ”
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but question: "Really? Do you really feel like you're going to be 'reincarnated'? ”
Liu Xiaoguang was speechless for a while, and was emotionally entangled for a while: "I have no home now, and I have nothing to worry about, I can concentrate on this project, isn't this a way to live?" ”
He didn't bother with Cheng Xuedong about this matter, so he relaxed his arms and pretended to be relaxed: "Okay, it's time for me to go back to work." ”
Cheng Xuedong did not follow him away immediately, but stopped on the terrace for a while, and through the incident that happened to his colleague, he couldn't help but remind him of his home and his sick wife. Although he often called her, he couldn't talk to her heart and soul every time, and there was always that Liu Yan interrupting in the middle. However, fortunately, Liu Yan took care of his sick wife, so that he could concentrate on his work. He stared at the distant starry sky, and finally cast his gaze on the intersection of the stars on the horizon, as if there was a shadow of his own home there.
He recalled some of Liu Xiaoguang's words just now, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and his mouth couldn't help muttering: "Shuzhen, are you okay?" Take care of your body. Because as long as you are there, I will feel that there is a warm home for me in a corner of this world! ”
