This is not Rong Juan's behavior, and it never has been.
He has always been flamboyant and confident, and he will only express his true emotions without reservation, whether they are good or bad.
But now, he chose to hide himself.
This is not Rong Juan, this is not the Rong Juan she knows.
"The only one? The only one?"
Ning Lan called her several times, and Qiao Weiyi finally came to her senses with difficulty.
"Wei Wei, did you see Rong Juan again? Did he say anything to you? Or did something happen? Wei Wei, do you blame me for talking too much and saying those things to Rong Juan? But I don't want to look at you two either.
Keep entangled like this endlessly... What if one day you fall into it again and go back to the days like before, will you be happy then? The only one? The only one? "
"I'm fine." After a while, Qiao Weiwei finally responded in a low voice, and then said, "Ning Lan, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need to be quiet..."
"Okay." After hearing what she said, Ning Lan hung up the phone without saying anything more.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Qiao Weiwei opened the door, got out of the car and walked in.
It was late at night and the inpatient department was very quiet. When Qiao Weiwei walked into the ward, Xie Wanyun had already fallen asleep.
The escort aunt lying next to her was not asleep yet. As soon as she saw her, she stood up quickly and was about to speak. Qiao Weiwei gestured to her, so she remained silent and continued to sit on her escort bed.
Qiao Weiwei sat down next to Xie Wanyun's hospital bed and carefully looked at Xie Wanyun's face through the dim night light in the ward, but felt that her face did not look very good.
The aunt next to me suddenly sighed uncontrollably.
Qiao Weiwei raised his head to look at her and saw something in her hesitant expression. When he lowered his head again, he saw a corner of a photo of Xie Wanyun peeking out from under her pillow.
Qiao Weiwei gently pulled out the photo, and the moment he saw the person in the photo clearly, his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
In the photo, a loving couple and a pair of quirky children are Xie Wanyun's family portrait.
In the photo, Xie Wanyun is still a beautiful and energetic woman, leaning on her husband's arms, holding her two children, smiling sweetly.
But now, she was the only one left, lying alone on this hospital bed.
Qiao Weiwei couldn't help but stood up, covered his face and walked outside the ward.
The escort aunt immediately got up and followed her outside. She also wiped tears from her eyes and sighed, "Sister Xie just told me about her marriage today. I said before that she is so happy to have you as her niece.
I just found out today that she has an ex-husband and a pair of children, but they don’t know where they are. Sister Xie can’t help crying when she talks about it. She is also a miserable person..."
Qiao Weiwei couldn't help but turned away and said nothing.
All this time, Xie Wanyun never mentioned her past marriage and family in front of her. She didn't mention her uncle, and she didn't even mention her two children. It was as if these three people didn't exist in the world.
But the only thing Qiao knows is that there is no mother in the world who doesn't care about her children. What's more, she has been alone in Tongcheng for so many years. What is she waiting for? Doesn't she know?
Xie Wanyun didn't mention it in front of her just because she didn't dare to mention it.
When there was a crisis between Xie Wanyun and Shen Qiao, although Qiao Weiwei repeatedly objected to Rong Juan's intervention, Rong Juan repeatedly intervened to mediate. In the end, Xie Wanyun and Shen Qiao divorced, and Shen Qiao went abroad with his two children. Since then, there has been no news none.
Afterwards, she and Rong Juan had a dispute because of this, and once they even quarreled in front of Xie Wanyun.
Xie Wanyun always remembered this incident, so from now on she never mentioned Shen Qiao and her children in front of her, for fear of affecting the relationship between her and Rong Juan.
Even after she and Rong Juan divorced, she didn't mention it because she had been looking forward to the two getting back together.
Qiao was the only one who knew her thoughts and knew that her aunt was doing it for her own good.
But what about the aunt herself?
After so many years of isolation and loneliness, so many years of hope and expectation, and waiting so hard, does she deserve to bear it alone?
This incident has been the only regret in Qiao's heart to this day, an irreparable regret.
It was this kind of regret that always reminded her that some things could never be taken back.
…
In the second year of her marriage to Rong Juan, Qiao Weiyi changed jobs for the third time after working in two companies. However, no surprise, Rong Juan quickly became business partners and friends with her new boss.
Qiao Weiwei was already a little numb to this, and only agreed with him not to interfere with her own work, nor to interfere with her work through her boss.
Rong Juan agreed to this, but he also asked her to promise that she would go home on time at least three days a week.
The only thing Qiao couldn't guarantee was that he could only promise to go home on time during holidays and important days.
In fact, Rong Juan was also very busy at that time. He could only get home on time for less than one day a week, and even on weekends he had constant social activities. Therefore, as long as Qiao Weiyi came home before him, it would be fine. If Qiao Weiyi came home after him, it would be fine. It also made him groan for a long time, with an unhappy look on his face, and he wanted to pick off all the clients she met before returning home late.
Knowing his temperament, Qiao Weiwei tried his best to avoid coming home late, but sometimes there was still no way to avoid it.
One day in September, Qiao Weiwei came home late again. It was a rare day for Rong Juan to get off work early, and she arrived home three hours later than him.
As a result, Rong Juan couldn't hold back his anger anymore. Fortunately, Qiao Weiwei was prepared and told him before he got angry: "I'm asking for leave tomorrow!"
Rong Juan had a cold face, "So what?"
"Mom's birthday is tomorrow," Qiao Weiwei said, "We're going home for dinner. I've prepared gifts for a long time. Do you want to see them?"
"You don't know what my mother wants?" Rong Juan pinched her face and said, "But you don't prepare anything for her... Who cares about these extraneous things!"
"Then what is something that is not external to the body?" Qiao Weiwei asked.
"Grandson." Rong Juan said, "My mother wants to have a grandson."
Qiao Weiwei suddenly jumped away, "You're talking nonsense! My mother never said she wanted to have a grandson! Last time she said she would let us, but she is still young and happy anyway!"
"Oh, that's up to you. If you continue to be so busy, my mother will never have a grandchild!"
"I'm not the only one who's busy, you're busy too." Qiao Weiwei said, "Being pregnant and having a baby is not my business alone..."
"Huh?" Rong Juan reached out and lifted her chin, "Are you accusing me? Then I have been waiting for you at home for three hours today, and you come back to give birth to me!"
"If we can give birth to the baby in three hours, that's no problem." Qiao Weiwei said, "We have a whole day tomorrow, can you give birth to the baby?"
"Okay." Rong Juan said, "Then do you dare to let me try?"
Qiao Weiwei was too lazy to have a childish conversation with him, and just said: "We agreed not to have children for the time being, so don't bring it up all the time. Who isn't busy when you first start working? After a few years, it becomes stable.
Is it now a good time to have a baby?”
Rong Juan was probably not very happy. He pestered her again and again that night. Fortunately, he didn't have to go to work the next day, so Qiao Weiyi just let him go.
