Qin Zheng stood in a position not far from Jiangzhou ward in a daze for a while, then carried the fruit basket and continued on his way.
Standing at the door of the ward, he saw that Ruo Ruo was holding a small bowl in her hand, which contained small sliced apples and peeled oranges. She took a toothpick and forked a piece of orange to feed Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou was lying on the hospital bed, and it was not very convenient to eat. When the orange juice overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Ruo Ruo very naturally reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth for him.
It was a very harmonious picture. Qin Zheng had seen similar pictures many times before, but it was the first time he felt uncomfortable.
Qin Zheng knew very well that he had such emotions because he knew that Jiang Zhou was not Ruo Ruo's real brother.
He quickly suppressed this little emotion, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door twice, and called out "Ruo Ruo".
Jiang Ruo heard the knock on the door, looked up to see Qin Zheng, his eyes lit up, "Qin Zheng, you are here!"
She quickly put down the small bowl of fruit in her hand, and walked to Qin Zheng's side, "Are you here to see my brother?"
In the past two days, Qin Zheng didn't answer the phone or reply to the message. Her brother said that Qin Zheng wanted to back down because of her identity. Jiang Ruo didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it. She was actually quite sad.
Now seeing Qin Zheng coming, she knew that Qin Zheng didn't despise her because of her background.
Jiang Ruo had already started to make up his mind, thinking that it must be because Uncle Qin was angry that he was not allowed to come over or contact him.
However, he still came.
Qin Zheng nodded, and said in a gentle voice, "How is your brother?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ruo to answer, Jiang Zhou spoke first: "If you come later, I should be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital."
Jiang Zhou's words made the atmosphere that had just been eased a little bit awkward again. Qin Zheng put the fruit basket he brought over on the bedside table next to Jiang Zhou's hospital bed, not knowing what to say for a while.
After a long silence, Jiang Ruo broke the silence. She looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "Can we go out and have a chat?"
Qin Zheng nodded immediately.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but be angry again: "Is there anything I, a patient, can't listen to?"
Jiang Ruo looked back at him, and whispered: "Brother, I just have a few words to say to Qin Zheng, and I will be back soon."
Jiang Zhou sighed helplessly, "Go ahead, it's better to make it clear earlier."
Jiang Ruo and Qin Zheng left the ward together, and went to the balcony not far away.
The two were silent for a long time, Jiang Ruo couldn't help asking first, "You already know about Jiang Li and I, don't you?"
Qin Zheng nodded and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't care about your life experience. It doesn't matter whether you are Uncle Jiang's biological daughter or not. You have always been Ruo Ruo who grew up with me."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Ruo was naturally moved. She looked down at her toes and asked softly, "But Uncle Qin cares, doesn't he?"
Qin Zheng: ...
Father really cared, even if he lied to Ruo Ruo that his father didn't care, Ruo Ruo would not believe it.
Seeing his silence, Jiang Ruo showed a wry smile, "The thing I've been worrying about finally happened, but you are willing to come to me, so I'm very happy, really."
Qin Zheng remained silent, or rather, he didn't know what to say, because no matter what he said, he would appear pale and powerless.
Jiang Ruo took a deep breath and summoned up his courage and said, "Qin Zheng, Dad and Uncle Qin used to joke, saying... that we would be together in the future, but I am not the biological daughter of Mom and Dad, this engagement should belong to Jiang Li... "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Zheng frowned and interrupted her, "Jiang Li and I are just ordinary classmates, we haven't spoken a few words, how could I like her?"
Jiang Ruo lowered her head and whispered, "But...you asked me about Jiang Li more than once before."
Qin Zheng sighed, and said helplessly, "That's because she took the first place in the grade, and I regard her as the most powerful competitor."
It's just that Jiang Li didn't seem to regard herself as an opponent, and she didn't accept the challenge he challenged her before.
Jiang Ruo looked at him incredulously, "Is what you said true?"
Qin Zheng had never seen Jiang Ruo look so unconfident, he just felt very distressed, he nodded without hesitation, "Of course it is true, and... I should be the one who should be jealous, okay?"
The Jiang family and the Qin family had indeed made a verbal engagement, but he and Ruo Ruo were both underage, so they had always been tacit and never made it clear.
But now that Ruo Ruo took the initiative to mention it, it was impossible for him to escape.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Ruo's attention was successfully diverted, and she asked curiously, "Are you jealous? You...why are you jealous?"
Qin Zheng looked at her delicate face, the temperature on his face rose unconsciously, after a while, he said in a low voice: "You have so many fans, and so many people like you, why can't I be jealous? "
Jiang Ruo's cheeks also began to heat up, "Those...those people are just talking casually. I like this today, and I like that tomorrow. What's more, I didn't pay attention to them."
Qin Zheng's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he asked with some confusion: "What about Jiangzhou?"
Jiang Ruo was obviously stunned, "What's wrong with my brother?"
Qin Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "He treats you very well, even surpassing the attitude of many brothers to sisters."
Jiang Ruo showed a happy smile on his face, "Yes, my brother is very good to me. When I was young, my father was very busy with work, and my mother was not very good at taking care of children. My brother took care of me. As long as I like things, brother He will find a way to give it to me, and he will never refuse my request."
"Including plotting against his own sister?"
Qin Zheng almost blurted out this sentence. In fact, he regretted it just after he said it, but he couldn't take it back.
Jiang Ruo's face suddenly turned white, "You... what do you mean by that?"
Qin Zheng shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just talking casually."
"You didn't just talk about it!" Jiang Ruo said firmly, "Do you think that I asked my brother to target Jiang Li!"
"I didn't say that." Qin Zheng retorted.
Jiang Ruo didn't like him at all, "But that's what you think, you just think I'm malicious, not only occupying Jiang Li's identity, but also instigating my brother to target her."
She suddenly became so sharp, which made Qin Zheng feel powerless, "I really didn't think so, I just think that Jiang Zhou shouldn't target Jiang Li like this, after all, she is his own sister, but he is for you..."
Jiang Ruo interrupted him, "You go, I don't want to see you again."
Qin Zheng frowned, "Ruo Ruo, don't make trouble so unreasonably, okay?"
"Then...then you should find someone who is not unreasonable." Jiang Ruo's words obviously lack confidence.
Dad specially told her yesterday to ease the relationship with Qin Zheng as much as possible, and also said that she and Qin Zheng grew up together, even if Qin Zheng has a grudge now, it will be fine after a while.
But she has no experience in pleasing others at all. In the past, Qin Zheng came to her on his own initiative. She just needs to wait and accept it, so now she doesn't know what to do.
Qin Zheng began to become a little irritable, and finally couldn't help saying: "You asked me to find someone else, is it because you want to find Jiangzhou?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Ruo looked at Qin Zheng in disbelief, "You... how could you have such an idea? That's my brother!"
Qin Zheng said in a blunt tone: "You are not related by blood, he is not your real brother at all."
Jiang Ruo couldn't understand his thoughts at all, "Even if we are not related by blood, he will always be my brother. I... Do you want to say that I am a thief who stole Jiang Li's brother?"
"You know, I didn't mean that at all." Qin Zheng retorted immediately.
Jiang Ruo's eyes were red, "I don't care what you mean, I don't want to listen to you now, and my brother doesn't need your visit, you can go!"
After saying this, Jiang Ruo turned around without hesitation, ran back to the ward and closed the door.
Qin Zheng stood there in a daze for a while, and then left the hospital. He is now in a very unstable mood. If he goes to Ruo Ruo again, there will definitely be another quarrel.
It's better to go back first, wait for each other to calm down, and then apologize to Ruo Ruo.
After Jiang Ruo returned to the ward, Jiang Zhou saw that her eyes were red, and immediately frowned and asked, "Did that kid bully you?"
Jiang Ruo shook his head quickly, "It's nothing, he just... just misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Zhou was puzzled.
Jiang Ruo nodded, "He... he was simply making trouble for no reason, saying that I have no blood relationship with you, but... you are my brother!"
Jiang Zhou sneered, "I said he didn't come to you two days ago because he cared about your life experience, but you still don't believe it."
"No." Jiang Ruo explained: "He didn't care about my background, he thought our relationship was too good, and he was jealous."
Jiang Ruo's thoughts were never hidden from Jiang Zhou, and he immediately talked about what happened just now like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
When Qin Zheng said those words just now, she felt that Qin Zheng was making trouble for no reason, so she was very angry, but when she repeated what Qin Zheng said, her anger gradually disappeared, and she still thought it was quite funny.
The Qin Zheng in her mind has always been full of self-confidence. She never thought that he would be jealous because of his brother.
Does this mean that he actually cares about himself
Jiang Ruo chattered a lot before realizing that Jiang Zhou hadn't responded to her. She glanced over and found that her brother's eyes were blank, obviously distracted.
Jiang Ruo immediately complained in a coquettish tone: "Brother, did you not listen to me?"
Jiang Zhou was obviously stunned, and it took him a while to react, and said softly: "Otherwise... you and Qin Zheng should break up!"
Jiang Ruo blushed, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about! I... I didn't fall in love with Qin Zheng early on. Before that, my father and Uncle Qin were joking. Qin Zheng...he never confessed to me."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhou's eyes darkened obviously, but soon became clear again, "I want to eat oranges, you continue to feed me!"
Jiang Ruo nodded immediately, "No problem, I am my brother's breeder now."
Feng Yun pushed open the door of the ward, and what she saw was a picture of her son and adopted daughter getting along harmoniously.
Jiang Ruo's eyes lit up when he saw her, "Mom, you're back!"
Jiang Zhou looked at her expectantly, "Mom, have you seen Grandpa?"
Feng Yun shook her head, "I didn't see your grandfather, but I saw your little uncle, and he... refused."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Ruo was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again, "It's okay, in fact, I have already accepted the reality, even if everyone knows that I am not the biological daughter of my parents, I don't mind Because it belongs to the Gracilaria in the first place.”
Seeing Jiang Ruo being so sensible, Feng Yun was a little moved, she rubbed Jiang Ruo's head lightly, sighed and said nothing.
In fact, the biggest question now is not whether Ruo Ruo can accept the disclosure of his life experience, but after the Feng family sent out those invitations, the Jiang family's business fell into crisis.
The attitudes of several partners suddenly became ambiguous, and the contracts that had already been negotiated suddenly fell apart.
Although Feng Yun never asked about the affairs of the company, Jiang Huai would occasionally complain to him. At such times, she usually only needed to play the role of Xie Yuhua and comfort her husband.
But this time, no matter how much she comforted her, it was useless.
Now many people outside feel that the Jiang family members are not clear-headed and are unwilling to cooperate with them.
Jiang Zhou, who was lying on the hospital bed, silently clenched his fists. If it wasn't for Jiang Li, Tong Yi's crazy little bastard would never have done anything to him, but now, he has to take the initiative to apologize to Jiang Li.
But other than that, he couldn't think of any other way for the time being.
A week passed quickly, and Jiangli packed up her things in a happy mood and was ready to go home.
When she left the classroom door, Lin Yu grabbed her and said in disbelief: "Are you still not staying in school this week?"
Jiang Li didn't understand why she reacted so strongly, but she nodded and said truthfully, "I'm going back to Grandpa's house."
Lin Yu looked bitter and bitter, "But you didn't say it before."
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows, "You didn't ask, I don't need to report my whereabouts to you, do I?"
Lin Yu sighed, "You really don't need to report your whereabouts to me, but if I had known that you would not stay in school, I would have decided not to stay in school."
Jiang Li was curious: "Are you afraid of living alone?"
Lin Yu: ...
This kind of thing doesn't need to be said so frankly.
She waved helplessly, "You go, I have to go back to the dormitory to pack my things, and I'm going to leave."
Living alone in a dormitory with the lights turned off at night is simply too terrifying. She can't even imagine how Jiang Li survived alone before.
Jiang Li actually didn't understand Lin Yu very well. In her opinion, living in the school dormitory is very safe.
Carrying her schoolbag, she was walking towards the school gate. On the way, she met Tong Yi and asked casually, "Are you still staying in school this week?"
Tong Yi nodded, and reminded her, "The invitation letter for me, send it as soon as it is finished!"
Gracilaria: …
You don't need to be reminded every day.
Separated from Tong Yi, Jiang Li arrived at the school gate, saw Shen Mian standing at the gate, and prepared to bypass him.
Who knew that Shen Mian reached out to stop her.
Jiang Li frowned, "What's the matter?"
Shen Mian nodded immediately, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Li looked at her with puzzled eyes, not knowing which song she was singing.
Shen Mian hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Jiang Ruo told me before that you are the child of their relatives, because your parents helped her father, so their family had to adopt you. And Jiang Zhou, he always He asked me to take care of Jiang Ruo, and let me stare at you, saying that I was worried that you would bully Jiang Ruo."
Jiang Li's mood didn't fluctuate much, "Is this the reason you targeted me before?"
Shen Mian nodded with some difficulty, "I was so stupid back then and was used by their brother and sister, but now I know I was wrong, so I come to you to apologize."
After saying these few words, Shen Mian looked at Jiang Li expectantly, "Will you forgive me?"
Jiang Li shook his head without hesitation, "In my opinion, at least 80% of the world's apologies are meaningless."
Hearing what she said, Shen Mian felt a little lost, and said in a dull voice, "I also think you won't forgive me, and if someone else treats me like that, I won't forgive him either."
However, if she didn't come to apologize, she would always feel as if a big rock had been pressed on her body, and she would feel uncomfortable all over.
"I don't forgive you because the consequences have already been caused, but you don't need to apologize to me anymore, because you have already paid the price." Jiang Li said truthfully.
Shen Mian raised her head and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief.
Jiang Li was indifferent, "You locked me out of the dormitory, and I returned it on the spot; you tripped me up in the physical examination and paid the price of clearing my long-distance running results; you wanted to fake morality by jumping off a building. Kidnapping me, you can only be forced to suspend school in the end. Aren’t these all the price?”
Shen Mian: ...
That being said, he seems pretty miserable.
I have indeed targeted Jiangli many times before, but the one that really hurt Jiangli should only be the physical examination.
Such a comparison, it seems that most of the time he is singing a one-man show alone, no different from a clown.
Is this the so-called evil comes with evil
Jiang Li looked at Shen Mian's petrified appearance, and couldn't help but think: If Shen Mian knew, even if she tripped her during the physical examination, she would not be able to get full marks, and she didn't know that she would. What do you think.
However, Jiang Li didn't intend to tell Shen Mian about it, if Shen Mian felt guilty about it, then she couldn't help it.
Jiang Li was about to leave, but Shen Mian stopped her again.
"Jiang Li, I know you don't need my apology at all, but I still want to say sorry to you."
Seeing her sincere attitude, Jiang Li sighed and said helplessly: "I think, before doing anything, you should think about whether you can afford the corresponding price, instead of blindly saying sorry after doing something wrong. .”
Strictly speaking, Shen Mian didn't hurt herself, so there was no need to say sorry to herself.
But in that book, Shen Mian's "carelessness" did cause a lot of trouble to the original owner. Shen Mian may not be the main reason for the original owner's blackening, but it is definitely one of them.
After she transmigrated into the book, none of those things happened yet, and Shen Mian didn't know anything about the original plot in the book, so Jiang Li wouldn't take the loan to blame her.
But she couldn't accept Shen Mian's so-called apology.
Jiang Li's attitude was too calm, Shen Mian felt even more ashamed, she knew that no matter how much she said sorry, Jiang Li didn't care at all.
She lowered her head and stepped aside, thinking about waiting for Jiang Li to leave first, but when she turned her head, she met Jiang Zhou's eyes.
Jiang Zhou was sitting in a wheelchair. Behind him was a man in a white shirt pushing the wheelchair for him. In addition, there were several strong men in black suits standing beside him, looking ready to fight.
Wearing a suit on a hot day looks like he's out of his mind, but it matches Jiang Zhou very well!
Shen Mian glanced at Jiang Li, and couldn't help thinking: If Jiang Zhou brought these people here to trouble Jiang Li, then he must help Jiang Li, and it would be atonement.
When Jiang Zhou saw Shen Mian and Jiang Li walking together, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and when Shen Mian saw him, he even took a step forward, as if to protect Jiang Li behind him.
He couldn't figure out how these two people got mixed up.
If he knew Shen Mian's inner thoughts at this time, Jiang Zhou would probably want to buy a piece of tofu and hit him.
Jiang Li is now recognized by Feng's family. It can be said that he wants the wind to win the wind and the rain to win the rain. How dare he find a group of people to threaten and intimidate the other party
If Feng didn't know, then he would have to walk around without food!
He brought these people purely for self-protection, because Tong Yi's evil spirit has always been elusive, who knows if he will suddenly emerge from it and beat himself up again.
Jiang Li was not surprised to see Jiang Zhou appearing at the school gate, because Jiang Zhou was also a student of this school.
What surprised her was that Jiang Zhou was pushed over in a wheelchair, and seeing his bruised nose and swollen face, he knew he had been beaten.
Jiang Zhou caught the flash of surprise in Jiang Li's eyes, and couldn't help showing a self-deprecating look, "Tong Yi sent me to the hospital in order to vent your anger for you, he must have told you, right?"
Jiang Li was taken aback, "Tong Yi?"
Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Jiang Zhou was sure that she really didn't know, he sighed pretendingly, and said: "Tong Yi is indeed a gangster who can only use violence, he..."
"Tong is not a punk." Jiang Li retorted expressionlessly.
Just as Jiang Zhou was about to continue to sow discord, he heard Jiang Li speak slowly: "He is Tong Leifeng."
Jiang Zhou: ...
