Chapter 8: Life is impermanent

The autumn rain is endless.

There was a girl who was clearly preoccupied. At nine o'clock in the evening, there were few passers-by on the street outside the hospital. She tilted her head slightly, standing alone under the street lamp, soaking wet.

Click!

At the window of the café, a Sven man in a suit and leather shoes used his mobile phone to permanently freeze this beautiful picture. Mu Tianlin pushed the gold-wire glasses and lowered his head to enlarge the picture. It turned out to be her - the only daughter of the Lu family, Lu Ying, a childhood sweetheart who had a marriage contract with him.

I haven't seen her for eight years, and she's slim.

During the day at the front desk of the hospital, they had met each other, but he didn't recognize her. At that time, Lu Ying was anxiously asking at the nurse's desk: "Hello, I am a family member of the patient, which bed is Du Ruo in?" ”

Du Ruo?

This name instantly attracted Mu Tianlin's attention.

Lu Mu's marriage of two generations! His aunt Du Ruo, who is not related to him, is the adopted daughter of the Mu family, married Lu Nanxing, the son of the Lu family, and gave birth to a daughter, named Lu Ying. Mu Tianji, the brother of his mother, married Lu Nanxing's sister Lu Dingxiang six years ago.

This year, my sister-in-law just got pregnant. Unexpectedly, at the end of September, there was a car accident on the highway, three cars collided in a row, many people were injured and sent to the hospital, and two people died due to ineffective rescue. The traffic accident quickly made the news, and the local police intervened and notified the family. The hospital arranged all the injured patients in the same room on the same floor to facilitate the police to make records.

The 2 people who died were his closest relatives!

brother Mu Tianji, and sister-in-law who is more than eight months pregnant. When the ambulance arrived, his brother was already out of breath, and his unconscious sister-in-law was pushed into the operating room.

The widow survived.

Lu Ying's mother, Du Ruo, suffered a fracture in a car accident and needed to be hospitalized for observation after surgery. After waking up from a coma, he was diagnosed with a very serious mental illness, which was due to his divorce from Lu Nanxing four years ago, and his long-term depression led to mental disorders.

Lu Ying had just seen it during the day, and it was still in the incubator. 's father, Lu Nanxing, was by her side, and she also showed her a video, which was Grandpa Mu's last words before he died...... In one day, she realized the impermanence of life, and also bore a burden that she should not have beared.

A car accident during the Mid-Autumn Festival has changed the fate of many people significantly.

Lu Ying is so!

Mu Tianlin, why not?

……

The death of my brother and sister-in-law is undoubtedly a painful blow to the Mu family.

Grandpa Mu Baichuan, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, couldn't bear the bad news and fainted on the spot, woke up grief-stricken, and was found to have advanced liver cancer, and was directly sent to the intensive care unit, and died without even half a month.

The posthumous son left by his brother and sister-in-law has been in the incubator for two weeks because he was born prematurely, and his father is worried every day, for fear that he will not be able to keep the only bloodline that his brother left in this world.

Three days ago.

His father gave him an ultimatum: "You prepare, inherit the family business!" When you and Xiaoying get married, my granddaughter will be raised under your name and raised the child for your brother, which is a responsibility that you can't escape. ”

He resisted...... I also escaped ...... But does it work?

A crossroads in life.

Is it in? Is it a refund? Is it left? Is it right? Everyone has the right to choose. What's right and what's wrong? What's right and who's wrong? The encounter between people seems to have been predestined, and there is a providence in the dark. It is fate, but also calamity, and the gears of fate never stop turning.

Yesterday.

Within Shengfeng Group, a general meeting of shareholders was held.

Mu Tianlin went straight to the point: "Everyone, the matters to be considered at this shareholders' meeting have been notified to shareholders in advance 20 days ago. My brother was in a car accident last month, and everyone must have heard about it, so now is the vote for my successor as acting director. ”

……

Mu Tianlin sat in this café and made a phone call to his girlfriend, telling the truth about the sudden change in his family, and hesitated again and again before he mustered up the courage to propose: "Vine ...... Are you willing to quit showbiz...... Marry me? ”

On the other end of the phone, the silence of just one minute almost suffocated him.

"I'm sorry ......"

Mu Tianlin's mood instantly fell to the bottom and hung up the phone.

Wang Manman is two years younger than him, and two years after he studied abroad, Manman also went abroad. The seven-year-long love was finally defeated by the cruel reality. Mu Tianlin knew in his heart that Manman's refusal after weighing the pros and cons meant a breakup in disguise.

On this rainy night in the dead of night, Mu Tianlin felt at a loss for his life and future for the first time. Manman's answer was unexpected and reasonable.

Isn't it?

He once promised to accompany Manman to work hard in the entertainment industry, but he was the first to change the hexagram, and he broke the appointment himself, so what reason did he have to blame her? Manman's career is on the rise and she has a great future, how could she give up her dream for him? If he is just married, he believes that with his rich family background of three generations, Manman may not be unwilling to marry him. The reason why she refused, in the final analysis, was that she became a mother as soon as she got married - if she changed to any girl, she was afraid that she couldn't accept it, right?

The sound of the rain ticking outside the window hit my heart.

It upsets people for no reason.

Mu Tianlin raised his head and looked out of the window casually, and the girl who was soaked in his sight instantly attracted his attention, perhaps, her sadness resonated with him.

Life is impermanent, and fate makes people.

Scold!

He and she are probably a pair of ordinary people who have been tricked by fate, and they have the same disease. Can he ruthlessly leave his seriously ill grandfather and newborn posthumous son, and accompany Manman to live and fly in the entertainment industry? Or can you only obey your father's orders, inherit the family business, and marry your childhood sweetheart?

Mu Tianlin laughed at himself.

The heirs of Shengfeng Group must be married. Back then, his grandfather Mu Baichuan started from scratch to lay down this huge family business, and Shengfeng Group set this rule after its establishment. His father Mu Junyao and his elder brother Mu Tianji both took over the Shengfeng Group after marriage.

Mu Junyao has worked hard all his life, thinking that with his eldest son taking over, he can retreat to the background and spend his old age in peace, who would have expected a catastrophe from the sky!

Mu Tianlin understood his father's concerns.

His eldest brother died, and the hearts of Shengfeng Group fluctuated, and it was bound to be chaotic. What's more, there is also the rival Hengli Real Estate, which is eyeing the sidelines......

That's it.

Mu Tianlin's gaze fell on the window, and after a long silence, Huo Ran got up and pushed the door out. At the end of the short conversation, he and Lu Ying left side by side.

As the saying goes: time heals everything.

There are accidents every day in every city, and this traffic accident quickly faded out of the public's sight, but it became the deepest scar in the hearts of this man and woman.

Some people are discharged from the hospital and their lives are back on track, as if the car accident was just a trivial episode; There are also people who have been living in the shadow of this car accident since then, trapped in it, unable to get out by themselves, and even the people around them are also guilty.

A funeral of the Mu family was held for three people at the same time: Mu Baichuan, Mu Tianji, and Lu Dingxiang.

October 1 is the National Day.

An RV with the logo of Shengfeng Group on its body picked up Du Ruo, who was transferred to the hospital, and also picked up the surviving widow of the Mu family in this car accident.

A private nursing home in the East End.

Ward 801. This intensive care unit is an ensuite. At this moment, in the inner bedroom, the doctors are treating a female patient who is mentally disturbed. In the outer living room, four people sat on the sofa and talked happily. The room was full of people smiling and smiling, but their faces were a little heavy.

If the media is present, I am afraid I will be stunned!

The Mu family has been in business for three generations, and the business tycoon who is over 50 years old, Mu Junyao, is the helmsman of the famous Shengfeng Group, and his youngest son Mu Tianlin.

The other two are also heavyweights.

The Lu family has practiced medicine for three generations, Lu Tianxiong is over seventy years old, dressed plainly, and has spent most of his life raising pandas in Majiagou. Next to him is his eldest son, Lu Nanxing, a department-level cadre who holds real power in a tertiary hospital in Greentown, and vice president.

Someone pushed the door in.

The moment Lu Ying walked in, all the people in the ward stood up in unison and saluted her with a brush, and she was stunned on the spot.

- The two patriarchs, why are they here?

- Is there anything big about it being so grand?

Lu Tianxiong, who had gray hair, raised his hand and greeted: "Good baby!" Come on in. ”

"Grandpa, why are you here too?"

As soon as she saw her grandfather, who had raised her since she was a child, Lu Ying felt very kind, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. However, when she saw her biological father, she just shouted indifferently: "Dad." ”

"Hello Uncle Mu!"

Out of politeness, she greeted her elders in a proper manner.

His eyes fell on the Sven man in a suit and leather shoes next to him, Lu Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone was full of thoughts: "Brother Lin." ”

"Sister Ying saw me and seemed unhappy, so let me go?"

The Sven man wearing gold-wire glasses is Mu Tianlin. There was a faint haze all over his body, and the tone of pretending to be angry, and the forced smile on his face made Lu Ying frown subconsciously. As soon as he took a step, Lu Ying gave him a big bear hug.

"Happy! Of course I'm happy! I haven't seen him for so long, Brother Lin is as proud as ever! How old are you and you still want me to coax you? Childish or not? Lu Ying quickly let go, and there was a bit of a taste of avoiding suspicion.

She grimaced at him.

Like when I was a kid.

Mu Tianlin Si Swen was dignified, her eyes were gentle, and she raised her hand to rub her hair, like a big brother next door, with a bit of pampering.

"Hahahaha......"

The two elders laughed loudly, seeing that the relationship between these two juniors was still as good as when they were children, and the interaction was so loving, they were very relieved, and secretly exchanged glances with each other.

The doctors finished the examination and left one after another.

"Xiaoying wants to marry Brother Lin...... Xiaoying is going to marry Brother Lin......" The middle-aged beautiful woman who was mentally ill kept muttering this sentence in her mouth, walked over stupidly, grabbed Lu Ying's hand, and then grabbed Mu Tianlin's hand, clasped them together, and patted them heavily.

"Mom!"

Lu Ying was very embarrassed and immediately withdrew his claws.

"This is what I said when I was in kindergarten, Mom, why do you still remember it? Brother Lin, Tong Yan is unscrupulous! Don't take it seriously! My mom she ...... You know...... In short, don't count. ”

"Why don't you count?" Chairman Mu couldn't hide his grief and asked with a smile.

"That's right! How can you not count? Lu Nanxing also asked rhetorically.

Most of the names of the Lu family come from medicinal herbs. Grandfather Lu Tianxiong, father Lu Nanxing, and her mother, who is this beautiful woman with mental illness, is named Du Ruo.

Lu Ying keenly sensed a hint of something strange from her father's tone.

Three generations of the Lu family practiced medicine.

Three generations of the Mu family have been in business.

Mu and Lu are world friends, if you go back up, since Lu Tianxiong's generation, the relationship between the two families has become very close, it is said that Lu Tianxiong and his wife have two life-saving graces to the Mu family, what is going on, outsiders have no way of knowing.

Doctors, it is their duty to treat diseases and save people.

In Lu Ying's opinion, her grandfather has saved countless people, and now he is also nesting in Majiagou and being with giant pandas all day long? Even her own granddaughter, who grew up with a group of wild pandas in Majiagou before the age of ten!

In her father's generation, Lu Nanxing graduated from "River Medical University", studied medicine successfully, entered one of the best tertiary hospitals in Greentown, from surgeon to director of surgery, and was promoted to vice president at the age of 35.

As for her mother, Du Ruo......

In his early years, he was abandoned by his biological parents in the mountains and forests, had a serious illness, and was rescued by Lu Tianxiong and his wife, so he took the name "Du Ruo". Later, Mu Baichuan adopted her as an adopted daughter, which is considered Mu Junyao's sister who is not related by blood, and Mu Tianlin's aunt who is not related by blood.

Du Ruo, graduated from the "Zhengda" Conservatory of Music, determined to be an excellent musician, but within two years of work, she married Lu Nanxing.

The Lu family also has a little daughter, who is Lu Nanxing's sister and Lu Ying's little aunt, named Lu Dingxiang. and Mu Tianji, the son of the Mu family, are the same age, childhood sweethearts, the two are in love, and a grand wedding was held six years ago.

To a certain extent, the marriage of the two families of Lu Mu can be said to be close to each other.

Mu Tianlin, the youngest son of the Mu family, is almost Du Ruo, the titular aunt, who was brought up single-handedly! After Lu Ying Primary School was transferred, he and Mu Tianlin studied the best public school in the city, "Greentown No. 1 Middle School", he was junior high school, she was in primary school; He was in high school, she was in junior high school; Until eight years ago, Mu Tianlin studied abroad......

In my impression, it was all Du Ruo who took the two of them to and from school every day, resigned and stayed at home to be a housewife, and took care of the two children. On the contrary, it is his biological father, who is busy with work and can't wait to live in the hospital every day. The husband and wife have been married for many years, but they have always respected each other.

Until Lu Ying took the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, without any warning, she suddenly divorced!

's father, Lu Nanxing, has real power in his hands, and it is inevitable to provoke right and wrong, and peachy news comes out every once in a while. Her mother, Du Ruo, suffered from depression and gradually went insane, and now she is admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

In the car accident during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Ying has been kept in the dark.

Until the end of her military training.

Yesterday, Uncle Mu suddenly called her, and sent a car to pick her up from school, she didn't think so much at the time, she came directly!

Now that I think about it, I realized that something was wrong.

How can it be so coincidental?

Uncle Mu seemed to be pinching the time when her military training was over, and even her grandfather came from Majiagou thousands of miles away...... The two families got together so together, when was the last time? It seems that four years ago, just as she was taking the college entrance examination, her parents suddenly divorced...... All kinds of signs made Lu Ying vigilant, as if something big was about to happen. Soon, she knew the answer!

"What? Betrothal...... No...... Wait a minute! When did Brother Lin and I get engaged, why don't I know? Lu Ying's face changed greatly, more than shocked, but not happy.

Her mind was in turmoil!

Two weeks ago!

The picture of Zhu Jun's junior brother with red eyes and repeatedly asking her for verification flashed in front of his eyes over and over again...... Where did he find out about this? No wonder the boys in Class 7 are collectively abnormal!

It turns out that the root cause is here!

She, engaged, married, - as a party, she is actually the last person to know? What the hell is wrong with the world? It won't be herself...... Suffering from amnesia, have you forgotten any important memories?

It's outrageous!
