Chapter 688 Q&A
“What’s wrong?”
After coming out of Impression City, Xue Mingqin finally couldn’t help but ask.
My daughter said that after going out to meet friends, she seemed a little absent-minded when she came back.
"It's nothing."
Li Shurui shook her head and smiled, and helped the two elders carry their shopping gains into the car, "Let's have dinner outside."
"I'm not going back. Do you want to eat? "
Xue Mingqin couldn't help but ask: "What should Xiao Jiang do?"
"There is something wrong with the company, and he won't come back."
Li Shurui explained calmly.
Hearing this, Xue Mingqin didn't shirk the blame any more.
Then the family drove to a restaurant. Considering her mother's taste, Li Shurui did not choose a Western restaurant, but chose a traditional private kitchen.
When she parked the car and went in, while her mother and aunt were chatting, she took her mobile phone and sent Jiang Chen a text message to inform them that they were dining out.
Her mind is confused now, and she doesn’t want to face the other party until she thinks about how to deal with it.
"Luoxia, please order what you want to eat."
Rather than accompany her siblings, Xue Mingqin deliberately sat next to her daughter. Seeing Zou Luoxia focusing on ordering, she asked in a low voice again : "If you have anything to do, tell Mom. After all, Mom has lived decades longer, and she can help you with some advice."
Li Shurui smiled nonchalantly, and tidied the tableware at the same time, "Mom. "It's okay."
"You were born by me, do you think you can hide it from me? You were fine at first, but then you became uneasy. What happened?"
Li Shurui was silent. She didn't expect her mother to be so observant. Or maybe she was too obvious?
"Mom, don't ask."
Li Shurui's smile faded.
Seeing this, Xue Mingqin became more and more certain that her daughter must have encountered a more troublesome problem. Otherwise, given her daughter's personality, it would not be like this.
"If you think you can handle it, mom doesn't have to ask."
Li Shurui looked at her mother, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
"Sister, Ruirui, you should also take a look."
Zou Luoxia finished ordering.
The mother and daughter did not talk anymore.
Even if she forcibly controlled herself not to think about it, Wei Chuyin's tearful face and despairing and sorrowful eyes still appeared in her mind involuntarily. Even Zou Luoxia could see Li Shurui's lack of taste.
“Ruirui, what are you thinking about?”
Xue Mingqin continued to eat the food without saying anything.
Li Shurui stopped using her chopsticks and stopped talking.
Zou Luoxia looked confused, and then subconsciously thought of her expenses today.
"Ruirui, is it because you bought too many things for me and your uncle that Xiaojiang is angry?"
She said a little embarrassed.
Of course she knows where her niece’s money comes from.
Li Shurui was slightly startled, and then quickly explained: "Aunt, you are overthinking. It has nothing to do with this at all, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Zou Luoxia asked curiously.
Li Shurui was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I just heard that a friend of mine was sick, so I was a little distracted."
"Is it a serious illness?"
< br>
Li Shurui nodded and said softly: "It's very serious."
"What disease?"
Zou Luoxia asked subconsciously.
The atmosphere became quiet for a while.
“Leukemia.”
Hearing this, Xue Mingqin couldn’t help but stop his chopsticks.
Zou Luoxia looked shocked and looked at Xue Mingqin.
The horror of leukemia is well known. It may not be the most terrifying terminal disease, but the cure rate is also very slim.
“How did you get this disease?”
Zou Luoxia asked.
She had only heard of this disease in the news, but this was the first time she encountered it in real life.
"Who is your friend?"
Xue Mingqin asked her daughter.
"A former senior."
"A girl?"
Zou Luoxia sighed: "What a pity."
Indeed.
Leukemia.
Commonly known as blood cancer.
This disease may seem far away from ordinary people's lives. Most people may never encounter this disease in their lives, but once they do, it is a disaster.
Suffering from this disease is equivalent to having your name written on the book of life and death by the Lord of Hell.
“It’s all fate.”
Xue Mingqin sighed. Having experienced life, separation, and death, she felt more deeply about this situation.
In the face of illness, people are really too small and powerless.
"Do you have a good relationship with her?"
Faced with her question, her daughter's expression suddenly became very complicated.
"...She has a very good relationship with Jiang Chen."
"Is she Xiao Jiang's friend?"
Zou Luoxia didn't expect it, and then her brain started working.
Xiaojiang’s friend?
And she's a woman.
Coupled with her niece's behavior...
She began to think about it again.
Of course.
This time she was not just thinking.
Xue Mingqin seemed to have guessed something. She looked at her daughter and was not in a hurry to speak.
"Ruirui, what do you mean when you say the relationship is very good?"
Zou Luoxia asked tentatively.
For this reason, Li Shurui never thought of continuing to hide it, and there was no need.
“She is Jiang Chen’s ex-girlfriend.”
Zou Luoxia's face suddenly changed, and her expression was very strange for a moment. She couldn't help but look at her aunt, and temporarily closed her mouth sensibly.
"The friend who just went to see you, is this girl?"
Xue Mingqin asked.
"No, it's another senior. They have a good relationship."
"She came to tell you about the girl's illness?"
Xue Mingqin Keep asking.
She is not a pedantic parent. Having an ex-girlfriend is not something worth making a fuss about.
"Well. That senior has lost contact with everyone now, and no one knows where she is. Another senior came to me just now and asked me to help tell Jiang Chen and let him investigate. Find out the whereabouts of that senior sister.”
Even though she knew that it was inappropriate for her to interrupt at this time, Zou Luoxia still couldn’t hold back after hearing her niece explain the general cause and effect. She was even filled with indignation. Just beat the table.
“It’s simply unreasonable! Now that we have broken up, why do you still come to Xiaojiang for help? Fortunately, he graduated from a prestigious university and has no sense of shame. What if he gets sick? There are so many people in the world who are sick. Go!”
"Auntie, please keep your voice down."
Li Shurui reminded.
Zou Luoxia then controlled her emotions, "Ruirui, listen to auntie, just pretend you don't know about this! Don't bother with it!"
"Is it just that? Should I just watch that girl die?"
Xue Mingqin said.
"Sister..."
Zou Luoxia looked anxious.
Of course Xue Mingqin knows that the other party has good intentions, but everyone has different ideas.
She knew what her siblings were worried about, but this was not a reason to ignore them.
"No matter what, it was a human life. She was Xiao Jiang's ex-girlfriend, and that was in the past. There is nothing to worry about now."
I don't know whether I meant this to Zou Luoxia or Li Shurui.
Xue Mingqin looked at her daughter with a solemn expression, "Do you know why they come to you? Instead of going to Xiao Jiang directly. I think since they were friends before, as long as they are willing, there must be a way to get it directly from Xiao Jiang. Contact."
"Why? Isn't this intentional to disgust Ruirui?"
Zou Luoxia blurted out. "Don't always speculate on others with malicious intent."
Xue Mingqin calmly looked at her daughter, "I didn't go to Xiao Jiang, but came to you, precisely because of the way others treat you. Respect."
Zou Luoxia moved her lips and was immediately speechless.
Yes.
Sometimes if you look at things from another angle, you may get a completely different feeling.
Li Shurui was silent.
My mother may not be as well educated as she is, but her wisdom in life is not something she can compare to now.
This is why she chose to tell this matter.
She hasn't experienced this feeling of "not knowing what to do" for an unknown amount of time.
People are selfish.
She didn’t think she was very noble either.
The word ex-girlfriend is taboo for any woman.
Leukemia.
Similar situations have been played out in movies and TV shows. Jiang Chen was told that she had no way of predicting what would happen next.
Can be concealed.
As my mother said, it's the same as ignoring death.
"I know you find it difficult to deal with it now. You just need to think about it. If you choose not to tell Xiao Jiang and that girl unfortunately leaves this world, will you be able to face yourself with peace of mind and not feel guilty for it. "
"Also, if Xiaojiang finds out in the end, can you face him?"
Xue Mingqin can feel her daughter's complicated mood at this time, and at the same time, she can understand it.
It is natural to want to protect your own happiness, but there are always some things that have the power to overcome the narrowness of human nature.
For example, conscience.
Zou Luoxia fell silent at this time. It was not that she was persuaded by her aunt. She still firmly believed that she should never meddle in her own business, but she couldn't find a reason to tell her aunt. To refute, or rather, to be ashamed to refute.
Selfishness is an innate trait of human nature and is understandable.
But it is just understandable and not worthy of praise or even publicity.
“Mom, I know what to do.”
Li Shurui said softly.
"Ruirui, since you have chosen Xiao Jiang, you should believe him. If you believe him, why are you embarrassed?"
Li Shurui looked at her mother for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mom."< br>
Xue Mingqin also smiled, picked up the chopsticks again, "Let's eat."
Evening.
It was eight o'clock before Jiang Chen came back.
"Today Donghai TV interviewed Luo Peng and asked a very interesting question."
Li Shurui helped him take off his coat, "What's the question?"
"The reporter asked What does he think is the most important thing in life?”
After joining the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, Luo Peng’s business activities increased day by day, and he was interviewed from time to time, and his popularity in the business community increased step by step.
This is the benefit of being organized.
"How did he answer?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's not like you don't know him. He talked a lot of nonsense and made the reporter stunned."
Li Shurui smiled, "What do you think? What do you think is the most important thing in life?"
Jiang Chen looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "The lollipop in my hand when I was three years old. The dragonfly I spent an afternoon catching when I was five, the certificate in my deskmate’s hand when I was seven, that hot summer vacation when I was nine, the admission notice from a key high school when I was thirteen, the breeze in the classroom when I was sixteen The swaying ponytail of the girl in the front row..."
Jiang Chen blinked.
Li Shurui looked calm and said, "Keep talking."
"The scenery experienced at each stage of life is different, and people's perceptions will also be different. According to Comrade Luo Peng, the most There are only eight words that are important.”
Li Shurui’s eyelashes fluttered.
"In a small way, it means good health, but in a big way, it means world peace."
Jiang Chen scratched her straight nose.
"Did he say that to reporters?" Li Shurui couldn't help laughing.
“Aunt Xue and the others went for a walk?”
Jiang Chen changed the subject.
“Yeah.”
“Why don’t you accompany them? Be careful of getting lost.”
“They won’t let me accompany them.”
"How was your shopping today?"
"I bought some clothes for them, I'm very happy."
Jiang Chen nodded, "There are still many interesting places in the East China Sea. They all go for a walk.”
“I plan to accompany them to the Chenghuang Temple tomorrow.”
"Pretty good."
Jiang Chen poured a glass of water.
"Do you think there is really cause and effect in this world?"
Li Shurui suddenly asked.
Jiang Chen was confused and said with a puzzled smile: "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
"I'm a little curious."
Li Shurui looked at him with a natural expression, "If you let down an affectionate and good person emotionally, do you think there will be retribution?"
Jiang Chen held the water glass and did not speak immediately. After thinking for a while, he said: "I should No."
Li Shurui stared at him silently.
“But you may need to realize that what you miss may be the person in your life who sincerely wants to treat you well. Letting down such a person shows that you lack the perception of beautiful things, and this kind of God will not give you opportunities twice, just keep moving forward, and your luck will return to the mean. Of course, so will the person who was let down. The thing is, what you missed may be your peak, and he missed it. It’s a low point.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.
“You are deliberately trying to make me happy, right?”
Although Li Shurui is smiling, for some reason, her smile seems a little forced, “Do you think I am talking about you and Ai Qian?”< br>
“No.”
Jiang Chen’s expression was calm and he said matter-of-factly: “You are such a petty person.”
Li Shurui suddenly stopped smiling again.
"What if I am just talking about her?"
Jiang Chen put down the water glass and stood up, "I'm going to see Aunt Xue and the others."
"You and Ai Qian , have you been in contact recently?”
Li Shurui also stood up.
Jiang Chen, who was walking out, stopped, not dissatisfied, but just a little surprised.
Caring about an ex-girlfriend might seem ordinary to other girls, but she was Li Shurui.
“I haven’t had any contact since the last incident with Hamolei.”
Jiang Chen turned around and explained everything in detail, giving the other party sufficient respect.
Looking at each other, Li Shurui stopped talking.
Jiang Chen was even more puzzled.
“What’s wrong?”
“Wei Chuyin came to see me today.”
“Why is she looking for you?”
Jiang Chen’s face showed Accident.
Li Shurui calmed down.
Jiang Chen laughed and joked in a relaxed tone: "When did you learn to pretend to be mysterious?"
Li Shurui did not laugh, and her calm look made Jiang Chen's joking smile gradually disappear.
Jiang Chen frowned.
“Ai Qian is sick.”
Li Shurui spoke.
"Sick?"
Jiang Chen looked at her in confusion, obviously he hadn't reacted yet, or in other words, he hadn't expected the unpredictable nature of things in the world.
Just when he was about to ask what the disease was, before he could speak, a voice sounded.
“Blood cancer.”
Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, he looked at Li Shurui distractedly, and gradually lost his expression.
