Hearing this, Qin Muzhi glanced at Su Ruo displeasedly and said, "You go out first."
Su Ruo nodded and put the information in his hand on his desk: "Mr. Qin, I will come back to you in the afternoon."
When she retracted her hand, Xia Tong keenly noticed a mole on the palm of her right hand. Suddenly, her brain exploded because she clearly remembered that Qin Mu had been looking at it all night.
In the photo of Sunflower, Lin Manru seems to have an identical mole on her palm...
Could this be a coincidence?
"What's wrong?" After the door closed, he hugged her, whose mind was wandering, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of coming to Disheng to find me?"
"..." Xia Tong said nothing.
Qin Muzhen glanced in the direction Su Ruo was walking, understood a little, and said: "Don't think too much, she and I have nothing to do. It's just that this time Di Sheng launched the 'all time love' luxury pocket watch series, and she was selected
spokesperson. These days when she and I are together, we talk about work..."
Xia Tong nodded and said: "Don't worry, I don't doubt you, it's just——." She paused and remembered that Su Ruo stole her drawings when she was in NES, and couldn't help but remind her: "It's just that I think
This girl Su Ruo is not as innocent as she looks on the outside, you should be careful."
He nodded: I am sensible." Then his eyes glanced at the coffee table: "Did you bring me anything delicious?" There was a touch of joy on his face.
"It's nothing, it's last night's meal. You haven't been home much these days, and no one eats the food cooked at home." Xia Tong complained.
He opened the lunch box and took a bite: "It tastes very good." He added: "There is really a lot of work these days, and I really can't take the time to go home. When this period of time is over, I will take a good vacation to accompany you.
How about going on a trip with Guaiguai?"
"Then you have to keep your word!"
He glanced at her: "When did I lie to you?"
The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and he suddenly said: "Should you also explain to me what happened that night when you disappeared?"
Xia Tong was stunned and deliberately evaded. Qin Muxuan definitely didn't want his brother to know about that dark encounter when he was a child, so she'd better not talk too much.
Thinking of this, she said: "It's nothing. It's just that my sister is getting married next month. Some of the wedding procedures are not clear, so she asked me to come over and have a chat. Later, it was too late for me to see, so I just stayed there to rest."
"Yeah", he nodded without any expression. Xia Tong was not sure whether he believed her words.
"I won't go to her wedding. Just give me a bigger red envelope." He said suddenly.
Xia Tong knew that with Qin Muzhen's proud temperament, it was difficult to forgive someone easily. Now that he is willing to say this, he should have let go of what happened in the past.
Xia Tong smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After a pause, the photo suddenly came to mind, and my heart ached. I couldn't help but ask hesitantly: "I didn't come back that night, were you worried about me?"
He was stunned by her question, and there was a flash of discomfort on his face, but it did not escape Xia Tong's eyes.
He smiled and ruffled her hair: "Of course."
****** *****
The next few days were the same as before. Qin Mu was really busy during this period. He would go to the company before dawn every day, but he did not come back as late as before.
During the week, he would always turn down two or three days of socializing and go home to have dinner with Xia Tong. Even if he couldn't turn it down, he would try to go home before ten o'clock. Xia Tong understood his hard work and did not complain at all.
I also learned massage from a teacher. I thought I would give him a try when he gets tired from work.
It was the weekend, and Qin Mujie worked as usual. Xia Tong picked up Guaiguai from kindergarten, had a meal at KFC, and bought her a new set of Barbie dolls. Xia Guaiguai shouted happily and sat down as soon as she got home.
Get on the floor and play.
Xia Tong had eaten lunch and was a little tired. She was about to go to bed and take a nap. Suddenly, a phone call came. She squinted her eyes and answered lazily: "Hello..."
But Senior Yi's voice came from the phone: "Tongtong..."
Xia Tong immediately sat up: "Senior Yi, why did you suddenly think of calling me? How are you doing recently?"
The two chatted for a while, and then Yi Chu got to the point and said, "Tongtong, do you remember that I told you at the airport last time that the girl named Su Ruo looked very familiar to me..."
"
Xia Tong nodded, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned her: "Do you still remember, what's wrong?"
"I finally understood why I looked familiar recently," Yi Chu said: "Didn't my mother have uterine cancer? I transferred her to a hospital in Australia for recuperation. A plastic surgeon in that hospital recently got into a small lawsuit, and she asked me to do it.
I won the battle with the lawyer representing the doctor. I got to know the doctor very well over time. When I had nothing to do in the hospital, I would always chat with him. The last time he heard that I came from City A in China, he suddenly said that he
A few years ago, I also performed plastic surgery on a girl from City A. At that time, the girl suffered extensive burns all over her body. The condition was very serious. Many cells on her face also lost the ability to regenerate. Everyone thought she would never recover.
The doctor did not give up. After more than half a month of hard work, through local reconstruction, excision, skin grafting, micro plastic surgery, etc., he finally restored the girl’s ruined face. The operation was very successful, although the appearance
It's very different from before, but it looks like a normal person..."
Xia Tong's heart couldn't help but tighten. She vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.
"And because I was very curious, I looked at the girl's information. The photo hanging on it was none other than the colleague who appeared at your wedding that day - Su Ruo. And the name under her photo was -
.”
"Lin Manru..." Xia Tong spoke before him: "Senior Yi, this is Lin Manru, right?"
Yi Chu was stunned for a moment: "How did you know..."
"Bang!" The phone fell to the ground. Xia Tong looked at the smooth plush carpet on the ground, confused and in a daze.
She should have noticed it a long time ago. When they first met, Su Ruo looked at the deep affection in Qin Muzhen's eyes; and later at the wedding, the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes; the black mole in the same position on the palm of her hand...
Everything seemed to have been revealed for a long time, but she had always deceived herself and others and refused to believe it.
She suddenly remembered the question she asked Qin Muzhen on the day he proposed to her: If Lin Manru was still alive now, would you marry me in order to give Guaiguai a complete father's love?
His answer at that time was silence. She should have been alert long ago.
He married Lin Manru because he loved her. And he agreed to marry himself just to give Guaiguai and the child in his belly a complete father's love. That woman always occupied a position in his mind, aloof. And she seemed to
Not even qualified to look up.
But now, she couldn't imagine what kind of answer he would give her when he knew all the truth?
