Jiang Ruoxi didn't beat around the bush with Shi Lei. She sat down by the bed and said, "Miss Ling doesn't know that you are hospitalized, right?"
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, "Sister-in-law, should I tell her? What I don't want is her sympathy. She doesn't like me anymore."
More than a year ago, Jiang Ruoxi also wanted to help Shi Lei, but she was a step too late. Now, the situation has become like this again, and she doesn't want to stand by and watch this time.
"Maybe it's not sympathy. How do you know if it's love or sympathy if you haven't tried it?" Jiang Ruoxi has followed Leng Yan for so many years, and Shi Lei hasn't spoken much to her. That's because she understands his temperament.
He never talks much. Jiang Ruoxi knows about him and Ling Xiaoye, but she still can't understand why Ling Xiaoye is dating Shi Lei?
The personalities of the two are so different that I don't know whether they complement each other well or something else.
Shi Lei looked at Jiang Ruoxi, who was he now? Did he think it would be a success if he didn't see her?
Will Ling Xiaoye be happy? He didn't think about it. All he saw was Ling Xiaoye busy working. Maybe she was just like him.
Seeing that Shi Lei was silent, Jiang Ruoxi said, "Take good care of your health. I happen to have nothing to do recently. I'm going to see Miss Ling. Whether she wants to come to see you or not is up to you."
Regarding Shi Lei's emotional indifference, Jiang Ruoxi thought that there wasn't much she could do to help him.
Shi Lei helped Leng Yan a lot at work. It was okay for her to help Shi Lei chase Ling Xiaoye, but whether they could succeed in the end was beyond her control.
Leng Yan drove Jiang Ruoxi to the coffee shop, "Honey, are you sure you can do it alone?"
"Of course, no problem, I just wanted to have a cup of coffee with Miss Ling." Jiang Ruoxi smiled at Leng Yan, opened the car door, got out of the car and walked into the coffee shop.
Ling Xiaoye came earlier than Jiang Ruoxi. She was already waiting in the coffee shop, "Mrs. Leng."
Jiang Ruoxi smiled slightly at her, "Sit down quickly, I'm late, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I happened to be nearby, so I came a little early." Ling Xiaoye smiled faintly. She and Jiang Ruoxi had met several times at dinner parties, but they were not too familiar with each other. This time, Jiang Ruoxi took the initiative to call.
Give it to her, I guess there must be something wrong.
However, she thought she and the Yan Group had nothing to discuss about work matters.
"Miss Ling, what would you like to drink?" Jiang Ruoxi asked Ling Xiaoye opposite.
"Coffee." The two ordered coffee and sat in the coffee shop, chatting as usual.
"Miss Ling, actually I came to you today because I want to talk to you about some personal matters. Even though I am a few years older than you, you can just call me by my name." Jiang Ruoxi looked at her.
When discussing personal matters, there is no need to engage in those business-like things.
Ling Xiaoye nodded, "Sister Ruoxi, then you can just call me Ye Ye from now on."
The two of them should be friends.
"Sister Ruoxi, do you want to talk to me about Shi Lei?" Ling Xiaoye should have guessed it by now, and she took a deep breath.
When Shi Lei was mentioned, she still felt a faint pain in her heart. For a while, she tried not to think about that man, but she couldn't. When she dreamed back at midnight, it was still him who appeared in her dream.
The figure that cannot be erased and the aura that cannot be erased are beyond her control.
"That's right, you and Shi Lei have been together for a long time. I think you know Shi Lei's character very well. Sometimes, there are things he doesn't say verbally. His feelings for you are still very deep. Even after this year,
You are no longer with him, but he still left everything for you." Jiang Ruoxi knew that Shi Lei had bought a villa to prepare for his wedding to Ling Xiaoye.
It's just that everything just ended.
"Sister Ruoxi." Ling Xiaoye's heart trembled slightly after hearing her words, "I thought he didn't care."
"Why don't you care? He even bought the villa where he married you, but you went abroad. Actually, I don't know what you said to make him decide to let go, but he is not doing well.
He is staying in the hospital because of stomach bleeding. If you still care about him, go and see him! If you don't care about him, you can also treat him as a friend and care about him." Jiang Ruoxi saw the expression on Ling Xiaoye's face.
Nervous and uneasy look.
Maybe, Ling Xiaoye still has feelings for Shi Lei, but it's just that one was hurt and the other was unwilling to speak, which led to the current situation.
Ling Xiaoye sat in the office, feeling uneasy all afternoon and not even thinking about working. She was worried about Shi Lei, but when she heard Jiang Ruoxi's words, her heart was moved.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Shi Lei had been standing for a long time. He was waiting for Ling Xiaoye to arrive. In fact, he couldn't guarantee whether Ling Xiaoye would definitely come, but he was still waiting for her.
Even if she sympathized with him and came to see him, he thought, he would be satisfied.
He had long thought about being discharged from the hospital. If the doctor hadn't forced him to be discharged from the hospital, he wouldn't have wanted to stay in the hospital at all.
If he was not hospitalized, at least, he could see her every night and watch her return to the apartment safely.
It's been a long time since Ling Xiaoye arrived at the hospital, but she still didn't have the courage to go upstairs. She didn't know if she should go see him?
She didn't know if Shi Lei really wanted to see her? She had said that she didn't want to see him and she hated him.
She knew that those were just her angry words, but if she wanted to take them back now, she might not have the courage yet.
However, no matter how long she hesitated, she still walked to the ward. She thought it was so late and he had already slept, so she didn't knock on the door because she didn't want to wake him up.
However, when the door opened, she saw Shi Lei standing next to the door. He seemed to be preparing to open the door.
The two people faced each other like this, and the atmosphere was a bit tense. "I..." they both said in unison.
Shi Lei twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Come in! It's very cold outside." It was obvious that he was sick, but his strength was still too strong for her to resist.
He took her wrist and they stood in the ward.
Ling Xiaoye didn't know what to say. She handed over the fruit basket in her hand, "This is for you."
Shi Lei reached out and took it, "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite." Ling Xiaoye shook his head.
"What I want to say is thank you for coming to see me." Shi Lei's ward was already filled with nutritional supplements and fruit baskets sent by many people, but no matter what they were, they couldn't compare to her coming to see him in person.
Ling Xiaoye's face turned slightly red, "It's nothing, just on my way."
Dropping by? Yes, she was just dropping by. She didn't come to see him specifically.
"Walk by? You didn't forget to buy me a fruit basket along the way. I should be so happy." Shi Lei laughed lightly at himself.
"If you are okay, I will go back first, and you should rest early! Don't forget that you are still a patient now." Ling Xiaoye still did not forget to care about him in what she said.
