Hospital.
Cheng's father was lying on the hospital bed dying, his face like gold paper. He had an oxygen mask on his mouth, and his eye sockets were sunken, but he lost more than a dozen catties after a while, and he looked haggard. He lay motionless on the bed, as if he was dead, and his whole body was enveloped by the dead air of a dying person.
If Ruan Jiujiu saw it, he might be shocked. His hair was more than half gray, and he looked like an entrepreneur in his fifties or sixties, he was just a bad old man with half his legs buried in the soil.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Qu Wei walked in front of him gracefully and stood still. She has wavy hair, wears a mink fur coat, and wears jewelry on her body, making her look extremely luxurious. With a smooth and fair face, standing in front of Cheng's father, she looked like his daughter.
The little nurse beside her followed her, and Qu Wei put her arms around her shoulders, she didn't even bother to hide the indifference on her face: "How long can you live?"
The nurse was taken aback by her words. In the intensive care unit, we have seen all kinds of life and death, ups and downs, so indifferent and contemptuous, it is not very common.
"If the family members are willing to pay for the treatment, maybe it can be delayed for a few more months."
"A few months."
Qu Wei's expression was thoughtful. She waved her hand, as if ordering a servant, telling the nurse to leave.
Father Cheng was still in a coma.
Qu Wei lowered her voice and said, "At this point, it depends on whether your son can save you. If he doesn't save you, you as an old man have failed too much."
She is now almost 90% sure that Cheng Juan will definitely give her money, and it's a lot of money. Qu Wei is a smart person, she understands that if she completely angers Cheng Juan, the other party has the ability to make her disappear, but Cheng Juan doesn't bother to waste such time on her.
Give money and leave. Wouldn't it be a best-of-both-worlds choice for them to achieve each other and keep each other equal
Thinking that after she made a phone call, Cheng Juan and his wife not only ignored them, but even didn't bother to send someone to ask questions, Qu Wei felt so angry.
If they don't come, then she will go!
…
the other side.
Tu Nan and Fu Zicheng had a meal of barbecue, which cost a total of one or two thousand yuan. Ruan Jiujiu was dumbfounded, and the waiter was even more dumbfounded. The waiters in the store seemed to be joining in the fun, taking turns to grill them enthusiastically, almost leaving the guests at other tables aside.
Ruan Jiujiu couldn't eat anymore in less than half an hour.
She silently watched a few big men goofing around, and began to think about a question - did Tu Nan and the others lead Cheng Juan down, or did Cheng Juan lead them down
The matter is nothing short of a mystery.
After clearing the dishes on the table several times, Ruan Jiujiu finally couldn't help it, and asked faintly, "Haven't you had enough?"
The men who were stared at by a cold gaze froze, and slowly put down their chopsticks: "I'm full."
It was only then that Tu Nan remembered that he had come to ask his sister-in-law for love advice. The two were about to play jokes with their sister-in-law, when Cheng Juan stared at them coolly. The last time they were stared at like this, they worked overtime a few times, which is still fresh in their memory.
Fu Zicheng coughed dryly: "We'd better go back."
Tu Nan: "That's right, goodbye, sister-in-law."
They parted ways in front of the hotel.
Ruan Jiujiu asked Cheng Juan amusedly, "Is the barbecue delicious?"
Cheng Juan replied honestly: "It's delicious."
Occasionally eat a big meal and recover your vitality. This kind of life is probably simple and beautiful. Taking advantage of Cheng Juan's inattentiveness, Ruan Jiujiu touched Cheng Juan's lower abdomen and shouted in surprise, "Wow, your stomach isn't even bulging? It's unbelievable!"
Cheng Juan retreated abruptly, quickly retreating a few meters away from Ruan Jiujiu, as if he had seen a ghost.
Ruan Jiujiu: "... Am I that scary?"
Facing Ruan Jiujiu's blank and surprised face, Cheng Juan silently zipped up his coat. When her fingers touched his flat belly, it was like an electric current slid from the touched place to the top of her head. Until now, she felt a burning sensation at the tips of her ears.
Cheng Juan regained his composure, but kept a distance of about one meter from Ruan Jiujiu.
"Your fingers are cold," he said.
Ruan Jiujiu was speechless: "So it's because of you!"
Cheng Juan, a doggy man, really protects himself tightly all the time!
The two went back to their room to sleep. Ruan Jiujiu lay on the big bed and couldn't fall asleep. He probably ate too much and his head was in a mess. While thinking wildly, she tossed back and forth, and gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, Ruan Jiujiu dreamed of a very scary scene.
She dreamed that she was just a ray of soul, wandering in the city. In the distance, she heard the loud and piercing sound of a one-sided dispute. Ruan Jiujiu involuntarily followed the sound and saw Qu Wei and Cheng Juan standing face to face.
Qu Wei pointed at him angrily, asking Cheng Juan to pay. Cheng Juan folded his hands in his pockets, as if she was seeing him for the first time, with an expression so indifferent that he didn't care, and his eyes were looking at a certain place loosely.
Qu Wei roared hoarsely, but Cheng Juan remained indifferent.
Qu Wei's expression became more ferocious.
at this time! A figure sprang out from the corner of the wall, rushing up was a knife! Cheng Juan's body trembled, and he tried to grab the opponent, but fell to the ground uncontrollably.
A pool of red blood spread.
Ruan Jiujiu was so frightened that tears were about to fall out. She rushed forward, but couldn't catch anything, and could only watch helplessly as the man who fell on the ground gradually lost his breath.
"Cheng Juan! Cheng Juan! Cheng Juan!"
A big warm hand held her fluttering fingers, causing Ruan Jiujiu to open her eyes suddenly. With his messy hair that hadn't woken up yet, Cheng Juan picked her up and hugged her in his arms: "What's wrong? What did you see? Why are you so frightened?"
Ruan Jiujiu woke up, her face pale with lingering fear, only then did she realize that it was just a dream she had been thinking about at night.
She took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."
Cheng Juan hugged her: "Do you feel better now?"
"Well, much better."
Ruan Jiujiu let go of his arms and regained his composure.
It was probably because of Qu Wei's phone call yesterday that the worry in her heart was brought up again. Fortunately, nothing happened, so she was relieved.
Due to the nightmare, Ruan Jiujiu was a little depressed all morning. She was so distracted along the way that she didn't even notice that Cheng Juan was secretly holding her little finger. When the uncle driver was waiting for the traffic lights, he accidentally glanced at this scene and was suddenly deeply moved.
The boss is indeed a strict wife! Holding a small hand is sneaky!
Today's company is calm and everyone is busy with their work conscientiously. Ruan Jiujiu was very busy. While her pen was flying, someone sent her a message.
Ruan Jiujiu thought it was Cheng Juan who asked her to have lunch together, so he pretended not to notice and continued working. She didn't want to face Cheng Juan in public in the cafeteria and say some weird things. According to Lao Meng, a colleague drew some daily cartoons based on the two of them, which were well received both inside and outside the company.
When Ruan Jiujiu saw the serialized comics, he couldn't help but darken his face, and just wanted to bring the culprit out to face him.
How did she become the little wife who babbled in front of the domineering president
Cheng Juan is the right little wife!
Just when Ruan Jiujiu was distracted, he copied the wrong layer and hurriedly changed it back. The phone rang again, Ruan Jiujiu put down his pen irritably, picked up the phone, but saw a text message from a stranger.
[I'm Qu Wei, I'm waiting for you in the company building. If you don't come out, I will expose everything to everyone!]
it's her again—
Ruan Jiujiu frowned, just wanting to keep Qu Wei as far away as possible. She was crazy to want to blackmail Cheng's father when he was seriously ill. It is not certain who exposes who.
Qu Wei was standing at the gate of the company right now, waiting anxiously.
She relied on broad daylight, and Ruan Jiujiu didn't dare to do anything to her. What's more - Qu Wei touched her belly, which was not yet visible, it was her magic weapon.
Qu Wei walked back and forth, but didn't wait for someone to come out for a long time.
She became more anxious.
Strange, why hasn't Ruan Jiujiu come out yet? Could it be Cheng Juan who stopped her? Are they really confident that she won't make any splashes? But any reputation problem is a major blow to them.
Qu Wei is relying on the advantage of public opinion, and she has a lot of time to spend with them.
For the sake of the child, Cheng Juan would definitely not do anything to her. Cheng Juan was different from some cruel and cunning philistine bosses she had come into contact with. He was much more principled and would not easily touch her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand here until now.
Ruan Jiujiu is sitting in Cheng Juan's office at the moment.
Through the blurry glass, Cheng Juan stood outside the office door, talking to a strange man. With Cheng Juan's back turned to Ruan Jiujiu, she could only see the man lowering his head slightly, not looking directly at Cheng Juan, and nodding from time to time.
Ruan Jiujiu rested his chin in boredom, thinking that Cheng Juan's appearance really looked like a president.
Seeing the message from Qu Wei, her first reaction was to find Cheng Juan with her mobile phone. Cheng Juan didn't have any expression on his face, he just let her sit on the seat, ignore these things, and went out to make a phone call by himself.
Cheng Juan was already dealing with Qu Wei's affairs, and Qu Wei was more impatient than he imagined. Before Cheng Juan had started to deal with everything, Qu Wei came to the door again.
If Ruan Jiujiu could hear Cheng Juan's voice, he would find that his voice was much lower than usual, removing the laxity and adding a little carelessness and coldness.
"… that's it."
"knew."
Cheng Juan opened the door and returned to the office. Ruan Jiujiu sat in his seat, looked around, enjoying the exclusive seat that belonged to the big boss. Ruan Jiujiu heard the sound of him entering the door and asked, "Have you dealt with it?"
Cheng Juan: "Yes."
"Huh—that's good."
Recalling the scene in the dream, Ruan Jiujiu still felt a little chilled down the back. Regardless of whether Cheng Juan died unexpectedly in her previous life, or whether Qu Wei was the culprit, she subconsciously wanted Cheng Juan to stay away from Qu Wei.
This woman is too greedy, given what she wants, she will only become more unscrupulous after getting the benefits.
Ruan Jiujiu sighed.
"Why do you think you are so easily bullied?" A mere stepmother could ride on his head.
If it wasn't for Cheng Juan's rejection of Ruan Jiujiu's self-recommendation on the grounds that he didn't want her to get involved in these crap things, Ruan Jiujiu really wanted to teach this brazen stepmother a good lesson.
In Ruan Jiujiu's eyes, Cheng Juan was just a poor little cabbage.
Cabbage Cheng Juan: "..."
If Ruan Jiujiu knew what Cheng Juan had just explained, he would definitely take back his words.
The author has something to say: Ruan Jiujiu: Juan Zai is so pitiful.
Cheng Juan: Hug me.
Tu Nan and the others: emmmmmmm...
