222 Being cheated again
At around seven o'clock in the morning, Xia Chaolu changed her clothes and went downstairs. On the round table in the restaurant, a hot breakfast was already arranged. Xia Qiong brought the cooked porridge with an apron and looked at the person downstairs with a smile, "Sister, morning."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Xia Chaolu pulled open the chair and sat down. Looking at the steaming mushroom chicken porridge in front of her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, my second sister is so virtuous, I don't know who will be blessed to marry you away in the future?"
"Sister!" Xia Qiong's face turned slightly red, and she ran back to the kitchen embarrassedly. Soon, she came out with two insulated lunch boxes and thoughtfully put them in the insulated bag. "There are two portions of porridge here, one for Grandma Li and one for Master Li Er."
"You're still careful." Xia Chaolu gently blew the porridge in the spoon, praising her sister with a gentle expression.
"Where," Xia Qiong turned around and sat next to her sister, "Grandma Li has always been very good to our siblings. She always thinks of us if there are delicious food. Last time my sister brought back the Babao duck, Xiaoyang also said it was delicious. She was sick, so it was OK for me to cook some porridge and try my best to do my best."
Xia Chaolu has always felt comforted by her second sister's thoughtfulness and sensibility. In recent years, she has been able to do her best at work, and she has relied on her second sister to handle the family affairs properly so that she has no worries.
After a moment, Xia Chaolu had breakfast and was carrying a thermal bag to go out, but Xia Qiong suddenly called out: "Sister."
"What's wrong?"
Xia Qiong lowered her head and unbuttoned her apron, said with a nervous expression, "I submitted a resume to a design company a few days ago, but I didn't expect that the company notified me to go for an interview yesterday, I..."
"Second sister, do you feel bored at home?" Xia Chaolu turned sideways and looked at the person in front of her.
Xia Qiong shook her head quickly, "No, I didn't feel bored just... I like design, so I want to work outside."
Hearing her words, Xia Chaolu frowned with a delicate brow, and pursed her lips and said, "The society outside is too complicated. You are too kind and don't understand the world. My sister is really worried when she lets you go out to work. Now my sister's income is enough to support you and Xiaoyang. You don't need to look at other people's faces for the sake of your family's livelihood."
"Sister, I..."
"Okay." Xia Chaolu smiled and patted her sister's shoulder, saying, "If you feel bored at home, go out and go around and have more gatherings with classmates and friends, don't save money for your sister, do you know?"
After pausing, Xia Chaolu continued, "As for work, I think it's up. As long as you take good care of your family, your sister will be very happy."
Xia Qiong kept standing there with her head down, Xia Chaolu frowned and asked again, "Why, you don't want to?"
"No!" Xia Qiong raised her head and waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't want to do it. I listened to my sister's failure to go out to work and concentrate on being at home."
"Be good." Seeing that his sister nodded, Xia Chaolu smiled.
After a while, Xia Chaolu drove away from the villa. Xia Qiong watched the car go away. She stood in front of the gate, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and felt a sense of loss and helplessness in her eyes.
For several consecutive days, Xia Chaolu ran from both sides of the hospital company. Fortunately, the condition of the old lady of the Li family gradually stabilized, and she and Li Jun were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
When she returned to the company in the afternoon, Xia Chaolu had just returned to the office and heard the secretary come in to report, "Director Xia, Sister Jia has returned, she went home directly from the airport."
"Why did she come back early?" Xia Chaolu frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. She asked the secretary to call Gan Jia. After the phone was called, she chatted with Gan Jia in person.
Listening to Gan Jia's unconventional voice, Xia Chaolu's doubts gradually disappeared. Then, she hung up the phone and asked the secretary to bring her a cup of coffee.
Recently, she has been busy with Grandma Li's affairs and ignored the situation on Gan Jia's side. However, listening to her voice just now on the phone shows that she is having a pretty pleasant holiday.
There are not many days left before the selection of the film queen nomination. Since Gan Jia has returned from vacation, she has to start to deploy her work later. But there are too many things recently, and she is so busy that she has no time to find Gu Yining.
He picked up his phone and looked at it. There was no number in the phone bar. Xia Chaolu pouted dejectedly, thinking that Gu Yining was really angry. If she didn't look for him, can't he come to see her?
But then I thought about it, Xia Chaolu's tense face improved again. In recent days, I don't seem to have seen any news about Gu Yining and Dong Miaomiao. Is this a good phenomenon? She could catch up with Gu Yining, who was so cold in the past, so what else is there to be scary now? Dong Miaomiao is no match for her at all, hum!
After the afternoon meeting, the assistant delivered the contents summarized in the meeting to the office. The man behind the desk looked cold and his dark eyes were bottomless.
"Second Young Master." The assistant stepped forward and spoke respectfully, "You made an appointment to go to the hospital for medicine at three o'clock."
The man turned his head to look at his wrist watch, then raised his face and nodded, "I understand."
"yes."
The assistant turned around without saying much, and knew the truth.
Soon, Gu Yining picked up the car keys and walked out of Lixing's gate quickly. These days, the old wounds on his grandfather's leg always hurt slightly. The old man had a stubborn temper and was unwilling to go to the hospital, so he had to come to the hospital to get some medicine.
In the past, Gu Weishen dealt with all these things. Most of the time, he could make his grandfather laugh in just a few words, and coaxed and deceived the old man to the hospital for examination. But now Gu Weishen does not often look back at his family, and the old man is unwilling to worry about such a thing.
Gu Yining held the steering wheel in both hands and looked straight ahead. Until the ringtone of the phone rang, he saw the number, his beautiful eyebrows instantly frowned, "Hey."
"Yining, it's me." On the other end of the phone, Dong Miaomiao's voice was a little happy, "Do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together. I heard that the lobster is very fresh in a newly opened seafood restaurant. Can we try it?"
The man's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his expression did not fluctuate at all. "I'm sorry, I'm going home tonight."
"Oh, what about tomorrow night?"
"The company will have something to do tomorrow."
The girl took the initiative to invite her, but Gu Yining suddenly disliked her face. Dong Miaomiao on the other end of the phone instantly stopped her voice, held the microphone, and her eyes were slightly red.
"My grandfather is not in good health recently, and I want to go home often." Perhaps realizing that his attitude was a bit too much, Gu Yining finally explained.
"So that's the case, then you can do your homework first." Since Gu Yining gave him a step, how could Dong Miaomiao be ignorant? She hung up the phone well and sensible, so smart that she didn't continue to get entangled.
But Gu Yining's excuse was not good, Dong Miaomiao knew it very well. But Gu Yining's attitude has always been so cold that even if she felt wronged, she could only bear it.
Soon, Gu Yining drove the car into the city hospital. He made an appointment with the doctor in advance, but the patient in front had not finished the examination, so he could only sit outside the clinic and wait.
In the stairwell on the side, Li Jun was holding the x-ray taken by his grandmother in his hand and just came out of the doctor's office. The doctor said that the old lady's condition was no longer a big problem and she would be able to go through the discharge procedures tomorrow.
The man who lowered his head slightly and thoughtful not far away happened to fall into Li Jun's eyes. His eyes flashed, and his thin lips suddenly pulled up.
The new drama that Gan Jia is about to shoot has been set for the start time. Xia Chaolu had just set a date with the director there, and the phone she put on the table rang.
"Hey, it's me."
"Lulu, can you come to the hospital now?"
"What's wrong with grandma?" Xia Chaolu asked anxiously, and Li Jun whispered: "Grandma said you'll come over quickly."
After a moment, Xia Chaolu hung up the phone and rushed to the hospital. She locked the car and walked upstairs with her bag, looking hurried and couldn't have time to look at it.
Outside the second floor clinic, a doctor in a white coat stood in front of Gu Yining and carefully told him the time and dosage of the medicine. "Go back and give the old man a week's medicine. If the effect is not good, you must come to the hospital for examination next week."
"Okay, thank you doctor." Gu Yining thanked politely. When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw the figure walking by in a hurry in front of him.
Gu Yining moved his mouth, but unfortunately, before he could speak, Xia Chaolu had already walked upstairs quickly. She walked so quickly, did something happen?
The man lowered his eyebrows, held the medicine bag in his hand tightly, and immediately followed Xia Chaolu's figure and stepped upstairs.
A few minutes later, Xia Chaolu pushed open the ward door and ran in panting, "Li Jun, what happened?"
Several people in the ward heard the sound and all looked at her. After Xia Chaolu saw the people in the room clearly, she felt a chill on her back and her face turned awkwardly.
"My parents, Lulu is here." Li Jun walked forward with a smile, gently held Xia Chaolu's hand, and said with a smile: "What are you doing when you run so urgently? My parents are here too, and I just forgot to tell you."
call!
Xia Chaolu took a deep breath and glared at the man in front of her. She couldn't get angry even if she was angry. She could only pretend to smile, "Hello, uncle, aunt."
"Lulu, I haven't seen each other for a long time." Mrs. Li stood up and looked at Xia Chaolu with a few points in her eyes. Although the corners of her mouth were decorated with smiles, the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Auntie." Xia Chaolu didn't expect to see Li Jun's parents, and she was a little nervous. Although she had met Mr. Li when they were engaged, there were many people at that time, so she basically didn't say a few words to them.
"Lulu, come here." The old lady of the Li family waved and signaled Xia Chaolu to come.
Xia Chaolu immediately walked to the bedside with a smile, trying to avoid the embarrassment. The old lady held her hand and her eyes were full of love, "I've been sick these days, but fortunately Lulu took care of her. Now I'm old and you're busy with work. I have no requirements. I just hope Xiaojun gets married and gets married soon."
"Mom, Xiaojun is still young, don't worry."
"You don't have to worry, but I'm in a hurry." Old Mrs. Li lowered her face and refuted her daughter-in-law's words.
Mrs. Li couldn't argue with her mother-in-law. She turned her head and glanced at Xia Chaolu who was standing next to Li Jun. A trace of strange color flashed across her well-maintained cheeks.
"Lulu, you have been engaged to Xiaojun for two years. After the Chinese New Year, you can get the wedding done. Grandma personally handled it for you, okay?"
"ah?!"
Xia Chaolu's face suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked for help from the man around him. The plot was wrong. A few days ago, they agreed that they would terminate the engagement after the New Year. Why did they become married in a blink of an eye?
Li Jun pursed his lips and smiled, and when he looked down at Xia Chaolu beside him, he winked at her.
"Lulu, grandma is old and afraid that she will be gone one day, but she hasn't seen you get married and get married, grandma is really worried..."
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense." Li Jun pursed his lips and his palm fell on his shoulder and patted it lightly. "Lulu and I have discussed it a long time ago. We originally planned to get married after the New Year."
"Really?" The old lady of the Li family looked at Xia Chaolu with anticipation.
"Well……"
Xia Chaolu bit her lower lip and could only nod her helplessly, "Yes, grandma, we... are going to get married too."
"That's good, that's good." Old Mrs. Li was very happy after hearing this, and her haggard face was immediately full of joy. "Now grandma is relieved. I must take care of my health as soon as possible so that I can handle your marriage."
"Haha, yes, grandma should take care of her health quickly." Xia Chaolu replied with a smile on her face, but she was extremely resentful. She finally told a big lie. How should she explain this to grandma in the future?!
Outside the ward door, Gu Yining's five fingers holding the medicine bag suddenly tightened. From the angle he was standing, he could only see Xia Chaolu's back. Although he could not see her expression, he could hear every word she said very carefully and clearly.
The man's tall figure flashed and he went downstairs without looking back. Li Jun sat beside the hospital bed, slantingly at the man leaving outside, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
In August, the sky was still stuffy. Gu Yining held the steering wheel with both hands and opened all the windows in the car, allowing the evening breeze to blow his neatly trimmed short hair.
The indicator light at the intersection ahead changed, and he parked the car in the sign line. His clearly contoured facial features were like ice covering him at this time, which was cold enough to make people tremble.
hehe.
Gu Yining's thin lips moved slightly, and a faint smile came from his throat. He was indeed crazy, and he was still stupidly looking forward to her words.
He ate her loss six years ago. Will he want to eat it again six years later?!
