In the emergency room of the hospital, Qiao Xinwei was sitting in a chair in the lounge, dazed. She was wearing a neck brace around her neck, and was holding the ointment prescribed by the doctor in her hand. Her eyes were dull, and she just sat there without moving.
Not moving.
There were emergency patients being pushed out of the clinic, and there were family members of the patients walking around. All of this was happening around her, but she turned a blind eye.
Late at night, the nurse on duty came up and asked kindly: "Miss, do you need any help?"
Qiao Xinwei raised her head in confusion.
"Miss, you've been sitting here for a long time. Why don't you go home and have a good rest after your illness?"
"What time is it?" After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
The nurse pointed to the clock on the wall in front of her, "It's half past one."
"Oh..." She frowned, "Can't I stay here at night?"
The nurse patiently advised: "Miss, this is the emergency room, not a place where you can spend the night. It will be cold in the middle of the night, and you will catch a cold sitting here."
Qiao Xinwei knew that the nurse had good intentions. She nodded, took the things in her hands, and said, "Oh, I'll go then."
After walking out of the hospital, it was much deserted outside. The cold wind penetrated through her clothes and poured in, making her shiver. She wanted to cry, leaving a string of tears in her eyes. The cold wind blew in, and her face felt like it had been cut by a knife.
Stinging pain.
At this time, she couldn't even cry.
Just when she was at a loss, a car horn suddenly sounded in her ears. She listened and saw Ruan Bin's car parked not far from the entrance of the hospital. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. After all, she would not
It belongs to Jiang Hao. Maybe he is celebrating with his ex-girlfriend by popping champagne.
Along with the horn, the headlights also turned on, and the car slowly drove towards her.
"Mr. Ruan?" She cast a doubtful look. It was so late at night that he couldn't just happen to be passing by.
Ruan Bin parked the car next to her, stuck his head out and said, "Come up, I'll take you back."
Qiao Xinwei hesitated and didn't dare to step forward. Even the fool knew that Ruan Bin was waiting for her here on purpose, but it was because of his intention that she hesitated.
Seeing her hesitation, Ruan Bin said: "Can't we even be friends now?... Well, if you don't want to be friends, then we can be colleagues. Get in the car. I have something to say to you." Seeing that she was still hesitant, he was helpless.
, "You don't want to stand on the street all night, do you? Come up quickly, you will catch a cold."
After Ruan Bin's repeated requests, Qiao Xinwei finally got into the car. The air conditioner was turned on in the car. She couldn't help but sneeze at the heater vent, "Uh..." She hugged the neck gaiter and closed her eyes.
Endure the pain.
Ruan Bin immediately removed the air outlet and took out two tissues and handed them to her.
"Thank you..." She ignored her embarrassment and asked while wiping her nose, "How did you know I was in the hospital?"
Ruan Bin turned his head and looked ahead. He put his hands on the steering wheel and drove slowly. He said: "I have been following you since you came out of the hotel. I was afraid that you would quarrel. I wanted to find a chance to explain and talk to Ah Frankly.
Let's talk to Hao, and then..." He turned to look at her, and then said silently, "I have been following you, afraid that something might happen to you."
Qiao Xinwei smiled self-deprecatingly, "Why, are you afraid that I will do something stupid? Haha, do I look like someone who will do something stupid... No matter what happens, I will not hurt myself, no matter what." She
Emphasized.
Speaking of Ruan Binxin, when the incident between Ji Xiaohai and Sun Rongxuan caused a commotion in the office, she still endured it and used her diligence to face the strange looks from her colleagues. Although she seemed weak, she was actually very strong in her heart.
"Qiao Xinwei, you know, it was your firm eyes that attracted me at the job fair." Ruan Binxu said, "Yes, from the first time I saw you, I liked you from the bottom of my heart.
You, but liking doesn’t necessarily mean possessing you. I never thought of poaching Ji Xiaohai before, and now it’s even less possible for me to poach Ahao. What I mean is, do you understand?”
Qiao Xinwei remained silent and just nodded. She understood. She understood that this was not Ruan Bin's fault, let alone her fault. I really didn't know why Jiang Hao lost such a temper.
"I cherish you and Ah Hao as two friends, so when Zhou Xiaoyi threatened me with this matter, I could only endure it. I don't want to cause any estrangement between you and your husband because of me. What happened today caused you to cause trouble.
So, I'm really sorry. Ah Hao, I will find time to talk to him again. I hope he can understand that I will never have any unreasonable thoughts about you. I haven't had it before, I haven't now, and I won't have it in the future."
"This is not all because of what happened today," Qiao Xinwei asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ruan, do you know what happened between Jiang Hao and Xiao Tianai?"
Ruan Bin sighed. He said so much. It turned out that she only cared about this. It seemed that in her heart, Ah Hao had really taken over everything. He couldn't bear to lie to her and told the truth: "They have been dating for no less than ten years."
Year, if it hadn't been for an accident five years ago, maybe their children now would be able to do so. This time Xiao Tianai came back, we all felt very sudden. When she left a suicide note, we all thought she was no longer alive.
However, Ah Hao is surprisingly calm today, maybe he has forgotten about it, after all, their five years have been blank."
"Haha, the reason why he is calm is because he saw her yesterday."
"What?" Ruan Bin was surprised.
Speaking of this, Qiao Xinwei felt sad again, "We originally agreed to go to Sanya, but we arrived at the airport yesterday. When he saw the news about Xiao Tianai, he abandoned me and ran away without saying a word. He
I was so preoccupied with seeing her that I didn't even have time to say a word to me."
"..." Ruan Bin didn't know what to say to comfort her. The more times like this, the less he could criticize his brother.
Qiao Xinwei stared blankly ahead, surprisingly calm, "I understand the feelings between them. Whenever there is a chance, I will actively fight to protect our marriage. However, Jiang Hao's actions chilled me. I
I don’t need him to feel guilty. I just want him to confess to me. It doesn’t matter what he wants for divorce. I just want him to confess to me. I just want him to... don’t lie to me."
Now that marriage has been mentioned, Ruan Bin stopped talking. If he gave advice, it would be called getting involved in other people's marriages. He didn't want to do that. He just simply liked this woman who was weak on the outside and strong on the inside. Her strength,
It's heartbreaking.
There were very few cars at night and the roads were very clear. After driving for a while, we arrived home. Seeing her hesitation and embarrassment, Ruan Bin said, "If you don't want to go back, you can stay in the car. It's okay with me."
Qiao Xinwei thanked him for his understanding and turned to look at him, "Mr. Ruan, thank you."
"Need not."
Qiao Xinwei opened the car door, and the biting cold wind from outside poured in. As soon as she stepped out with one foot, Ruan Bin said again: "Qiao Xinwei, I still say the same thing, you are a good girl, God will give you better arrangements
.”
"Thank you...ah!" She exclaimed, and her arm was pulled hard by the black shadow that suddenly jumped out, and her whole body was pulled out. Fortunately, her neck was not hurt again.
She bumped into the man's chest, and a familiar breath came to her face. She knew who this black figure was.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but angrily reprimanded: "I thought you went somewhere when you haven't been back for so long. It turns out you were with him. Qiao Xinwei, recognize your identity. You are already married, so don't have any more hookups. Also.
With you, she didn't pay attention to her when she was single, but you started to care about her when she got married. Why, the ambiguity between you is going to escalate? What is a better arrangement? Is her marrying you a better arrangement? "
Every word he said hurt her heart. Qiao Xinwei shook his hand away and rebuked: "Jiang Hao, can you be reasonable? It's you who should recognize your own identity. How can you
Why are you slandering me?!" She tried to open her eyes as wide as possible to hold back the tears. She didn't want to cry in front of him. She was not wrong at all.
When Ruan Bin saw this, he immediately got out of the car. He quickly explained, "Ah Hao, you don't even misunderstand this. Just calm down and listen to me."
Brothers who have been together for more than thirty years have been playing together since they wore crotchless pants. They have never blushed before, but today for the first time, they quarreled over a woman. What's even more incredible is that the one who started the fight has always been calm and only focused on his work.
Put Jiang Hao aside and regard everything else as floating clouds.
Jiang Hao looked like he didn't believe it even if he said he wasn't jealous. He was so sour that the whole street was full of people saying, "Okay, you tell me."
"I followed you when we came out of the hotel, just to find a chance to have a good chat with you. I saw Qiao Xinwei getting out of the car halfway. I just followed her secretly out of concern for my friends. Later, she came out of the hospital at half past one.
, I will send her back, that’s all.”
"Oh, your friend's concern? I think you are a drunkard and don't care about drinking!" After saying this, Jiang Hao stretched out his fist and punched Ruan Bin in the face.
"Uh..." Ruan Bin received a solid punch and hit the car door.
Qiao Xinwei was anxious. She was wearing a neck brace and couldn't pull Jiang Hao away. She could only stand between the two of them and stop the fight, "Hey, why are you hitting someone? Can't you just say something to me? Why are you so unreasonable!"
"
As a result, Jiang Hao felt even worse, not to mention sour, even bitter. "Why, do you feel bad when I hit him?"
Seeing that this matter is getting darker and darker, Qiao Xinwei's anger is greater than anything else. She understands that as long as Jiang Hao doesn't believe in her, everything she says and does will be wrong. What makes her even more crazy is that clearly
It was he who had the intention of cheating, but he accused her of having an affair with someone else. This kind of behavior of a man is simply despicable.
"Divorce," she roared angrily in the dark night and in the cold wind, "I have fulfilled your wish, we will divorce!"
Jiang Hao froze on the spot, staring at her leaving figure in confusion. He was at a loss. He had never thought about divorce.
Ruan Bin tasted a hint of blood on the tip of his tongue and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to wipe it and said: "Ah Hao, you really misunderstood. Yes, I like Qiao Xinwei, but so what, she is not wrong.
.If it were you today, would you stand by and watch her cry alone in the cold wind? I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just worried about her safety. I waited at the door of the hospital for so long without going in to find her, I swear.
I have never had any improper thoughts about your wife."
