The Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Just Wants to Salt Fish

……

After seeing Yan Rou home, Jiang Li drove back to the mansion. Unexpectedly, Wu Yue called on the way.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Jiang Li pressed the answer button: "You said it, I'm listening!"

After a while, she replied: "Okay, I understand. Just wait there. I'll be there in 10 minutes at most."

After ending the call, Jiang Li started the car and drove to the place Wu Yue said.

Since the distance was not too far, Jiang Li only spent a quarter of an hour on the road.

At this moment, she parked her car in the parking space outside a coffee shop called "Classic".

"It's pretty fast."

Wu Yue was waiting at the door of the coffee house. As soon as she saw Jiang Li get out of the car, she smiled and said hello.

"I happened to be outside when you made the call, and it's not very far from here, so it would be faster to come here."

After locking the car door, Jiang Li walked up to Wu Yue and said with a smile: "Go in."

Wu Yue nodded in response.

"Sit there!"

Entering the coffee shop, Jiang Li glanced at the window seat.

Wu Yue had no objection.

After a while, the two sat across the coffee table facing each other. Jiang Li ordered two cups of coffee and then said, "I feel quite surprised."

Wu Yue smiled bitterly: "Not only are you surprised, I didn't come back to my senses for a long time after hearing what Xiaoran said."

"If Xiaoran really likes him and wants to spend his whole life with that Qiao Zheng, it means that Xiaoran and the other person are also destined. As elders, we can send blessings to the child, which is better than anything else!"

On the phone, Wu Yue informed Jiang Li that her daughter was about to get married and that she would send a wedding invitation to Jiang Li. Thinking that she happened to be outside, Jiang Li didn't let Wu Yue run away.

Furthermore, when he learned that the person Song Xiaoran was going to marry was Qiao Zheng, to be honest, Jiang Li just wanted to sigh on the road. If he had known that the two of them would eventually get together, why would they have made such a fuss before?

Of course, she was lamenting that when Song Xiaoran proposed getting married at Qiao's house, Song Xiaoran refused to agree, causing the two families to file a lawsuit.

Well, we can't say that the Qiao family was right. They used Qiao Zheng's leg injury in the car accident to pay a large amount of compensation, and took advantage of the Song family's tight money to force the Song family to marry off their daughter.

Even if the matter didn't work out in the end, the Qiao family's behavior was really a bit bad.

Now, Jiang Li was fascinated by how the two children came together again!

"I didn't see how happy she was."

Wu Yue said: "But... Qiao Zheng, the child, studied directing by himself after the car accident. At the beginning of the year, with the help of his family's connections and financial support, he formed a film production team. Xiaoran went to audition, met Qiao Zheng again, and then The two started dating again... I'm not afraid of your jokes. In my opinion, Xiaoran and Qiao Zheng registered to get their certificates not out of love."

The only thing this said was to make it clear that Song Xiaoran married Qiao Zheng because it was profitable.

"Zhou Yu slaps Huang Gai, I don't need to say more, you know this truth, since Xiaoran and that Qiao Zheng are willing to each other, what others say is superfluous.

Furthermore, if they can be together, they must have thought of everything, so you can relax, maybe the two children will live a prosperous life! "

After listening to what Jiang Li said, Wu Yue sighed: "What can I do if I don't relax? I've already received the certificate. The wedding is scheduled for this weekend. You must attend."

With that said, Wu Yue took out a big red wedding invitation from her bag and handed it to Jiang Li. She reached out to catch it. Jiang Li opened it and looked at it and said, "I promise to be there on time."

The wedding invitation was stuffed into her bag by Jiang Li.

"Actually, if that girl can get married, it will relieve some of my worries."

Wu Yue picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip, and said: "I'm going to be married soon. If I can't get married again, I will probably have to be an old girl for the rest of my life."

After a pause, she continued: "In the past few years, people in our family home have often talked about my family's affairs. Once, I overheard a few old ladies saying that Xiaoran's words were particularly unpleasant. If I hadn't thought about it, Several of them are older, I wish I could slap their mouths to bits on the spot!"

"I'm so angry."

Jiang Li advised the other party.

"Having said that, I was really angry that time!"

Wu Yue's face looked a little bad: "Xiaoran made a mistake, but she is not heinous. How can they use dirty words to slander Xiaoran's reputation... They are all old, don't they know how to be virtuous?"

"They are just a bunch of old ladies talking about nothing. If you care about them, you will only make yourself angry. These old ladies will not be short of anything."

Jiang Li comforted Wu Yue.

"I feel a lot more relaxed after chatting with you for so long."

Wu Yue's slightly frowned brows relaxed, and she changed the subject: "Your Weiwei has been married for a long time, and there is no good news?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li was startled at first, then raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking my Weiwei if she is pregnant with a baby?"

Seeing Wu Yue nodding, Jiang Li smiled and said, "I don't know at the moment, but I won't rush this kind of thing, just let it happen."

"You are very open-minded, I know that from the moment I know you."

Wu Yue also smiled: "By the way, are your Ruirui and Hanhan doing things this year?"

"It should be possible. They promised me that they would get married before the age of 30."

Hearing what Jiang Li said, Wu Yue couldn't help but ask: "What do women do?"

"Ruirui's girlfriend is a translator, and they are colleagues abroad; Hanhan's girlfriend is a pediatrician, and both girls are locals in Beicheng. They are very beautiful and gentle."

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen the photos. The two boys were busy with work and said they would bring them to me when they had time."

Jiang Li looked soft: "Time flies so fast. When I came to Beicheng, Ruirui was less than five years old, and Hanhan and Weiwei were about to be three years old. In the blink of an eye, they are three years old, and I am already over 40." Sighing softly, Jiang Li touched his face and sighed: "Time makes people grow old!"

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Wu Yue stared at the words: "With your skin condition and beauty, who wouldn't say that you are a young man in his twenties? Sitting together with you, in the eyes of others, we are completely different by a generation. If You still treat me as a friend, please stop irritating me by saying that time makes me grow old!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't you believe me when I say I do?"

"there is nothing?"

Wu Yue knew the consultant well.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "We are good sisters, and I can't bear to irritate you."

"Did you put honey on your mouth?"

Wu Yue snorted and said: "I remember you once said you wanted to be a salted fish, but now your life is no different from that of a salted fish. This really makes me envious and jealous. I really want to exchange identities with you. Go live your salty life."

"I'm not exactly a salty fish, but if you want to be a salty fish, you can retire early, raise fish and flowers at home, and live as comfortably as you want."

Jiang Li gave suggestions.

"I would like to, but my family's situation does not allow me to retire early..."

Wu Yue sighed: "It's the same as raising children. What you raise can already bring you happiness. On the other hand, what I raise are all debt collectors!"

Jiang Li could hear the meaning of Wu Yue's words and knew that the other party was specifically referring to his daughter Xiaoran.

After all, because of Song Xiaoran's car accident, the Song family was in a tight financial situation.

"What kind of debt collector? Some of the children here may be wise later, but in the final analysis, the family protects them so well that the children know little about the outside world and inevitably do some wrong things. But since the children know their mistakes and correct them, , As elders, we should forgive and not always talk about the mistakes our children have made in the past."

Having said this, Jiang Li paused for a moment and then spoke again: "Besides, it's not good for you to sigh all the time. I've heard people say that it's easy for good luck to slip away if you sigh too much."

Wu Yue smiled: "Who did you listen to?"

"I don't remember. Anyway, I think it makes sense."

Jiang Li shrugged her shoulders in a bachelor manner, and said: "These days, happiness is only one day, and unhappy is also one day. In that case, why don't we let ourselves be happy every day?"

"you're right."

Wu Yue nodded in agreement.

The two chatted in the coffee shop for about [-] minutes. Jiang Li paid the bill and walked out of the coffee shop with Wu Yue.

"Get in the car and I'll see you off."

Jiang Li opened the passenger door and looked at Wu Yue.

"This place is less than two stops away from our family home. I'll go back on foot. Why do you need to send me there?!"

Wu Yue shook her head and refused: "Okay, please pay attention to safety on the road, and don't forget to attend Xiaoran's wedding banquet on the weekend!"

"Can't forget."

Seeing Wu Yue's determination, Jiang Li finally had no choice but to sit in the driver's seat. She waved to him through the half-open window: "See you later."

Wu Yue nodded with a smile in her eyes.

Watching Jiang Li's car drive away, she looked away and walked towards the family courtyard.

……

After get off work at noon on Wednesday, Minghan received a call from his girlfriend Lin Ran.

"I'm not busy. I'm about to go to the cafeteria with my colleagues for dinner. What about you? Have you eaten yet?"

With her left hand in her pants and her right hand holding her mobile phone, Minghan walked with her colleagues towards the workplace canteen while replying to her girlfriend: "Eat more, you are too thin! It's okay, no matter how fat you are, my original intention remains the same. To be honest, It’s absolutely the truth, believe me!
Um?No problem, I will pick you up after get off work on Friday afternoon, and then I will go with you to visit your uncle and aunt... Is it time for you to go to my house too?My mother has always wanted to see you. You said you weren't ready during the Chinese New Year. It's almost May Day now, so you can't be still unprepared, right?

Okay, it's settled, I'll take you to my house on Saturday.Don't worry, my parents are very nice people, and my grandparents are also very nice. They will definitely like you when they see you... You don't need to buy anything, I will prepare it for you.ah?Need not?Okay, okay, I listen to you, you can prepare it, okay, my dad doesn’t smoke or drink, just watch and buy..."

Minghan ended the call with her girlfriend after telling her family members' preferences one by one.

"You are so patient with your girlfriend!"

Minghan didn't feel embarrassed at all when his colleagues made fun of him. He said: "To each other."

"How can I compare with you?! Last weekend, my girlfriend made a fuss about going to the movie. Originally, I had other things to do, but she couldn't help but went to the movie theater with her. As a result, I bought all the movie tickets. She also said she didn’t want to go to the movies and wanted to go to the mall..."

Minghan's colleague said, "This is a 187cm tall man, but now he is like a resentful woman. The more he talks, the more resentful he becomes: "I bought her a bag, and she immediately fell in love with a top. I know it. I didn't have enough money, so I was said to be stingy. I coaxed her with nice words for more than half an hour and promised to buy her something for her next time I went to the mall. But my girlfriend still kept making trouble. In anger, I turned around and left. What do you think happened to her? "

Hearing this, Minghan looked at the other party: "How could I have guessed this?"

"She caught up with me and grabbed my arm to prevent me from leaving. I was really as big as my head at that time."

Minghan's colleague shook his head with a grimace: "Sometimes I even think that my girlfriend is so tormented, why not just break up, but the words come to her mouth, and it takes a long time to say them out."

"Just be okay if you can't bear to part with us. Don't make fun of breaking up."

After some words of advice, Minghan said nothing.

On the other side, Lin Ran was in a good mood throughout the afternoon.

No, a female doctor in the same department saw Lin Ran with a smile on her face before leaving get off work, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Dr. Lin, what happy thing has happened to you? Look how happy you are!"

Lin Ran was startled for a moment and shook his head: "No, this is quite normal for me!"

"Really? Then why did I see the smile in Dr. Lin's eyes almost overflowing just now?" Looking at the teasing in the other person's eyes, Lin Ran's cheeks turned red, but he said: "Dr. Wang, you must be wrong!"

Before Dr. Wang in her mouth could say anything, Lin Ranxing stood up from the chair behind the desk: "I'm going to bed No. [-] to have a look."

Walking out of the office quickly, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her left hand to fan herself to cool down the temperature on her face quickly.

Meeting Luo Minghan was purely accidental, but she was very happy to meet him. She was very happy that her uncle and Luo Minghan were in the same unit. She was very happy that she went to meet her uncle that day and met Luo Minghan.

She heard her uncle mention the name "Luo Minghan" more than once at home.

He said how strong Luo Minghan's business ability was, that Luo Minghan was a rare young talent in his unit, that Luo Minghan was once the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and that he was studying for a doctorate while working.

After hearing more, she couldn't help but feel curious about Luo Minghan. Unexpectedly, they met unexpectedly and now they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Lin Ran truly felt that she was very happy and felt that Luo Minghan was a very competent and excellent boyfriend. She had no objection to spending her life with such a person.

With a happy mood, Lin Ran went to see the little patient in bed No. [-]. After finding nothing abnormal, she gave a few words to the parents of the little patient and then returned to the office to pack her things and get ready to get off work.

She didn't have to work the night shift today, so when she got off work, she picked up her bag and went home.

"Dr. Lin, I heard from Nurse Li that you have a boyfriend. I also heard that your boyfriend is very good-looking. I wonder when does Dr. Lin plan to introduce him to colleagues in our department?"

Wang Qiang carried her bag and caught up with Lin Ran in a few steps, trying to repeat Lin Ran's words.

She and Lin Ran entered the pediatric department of this hospital in the same year, but compared to her, Lin Ran was more valued by the department director and was very popular in the department.

It is impossible to say that she is not jealous!
Especially when she heard that Lin Ran had a boyfriend with excellent conditions in all aspects, the jealousy in her heart grew like weeds.

All the good things happened to her competitors. How unfair was this to her?

So, she couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the corner.

However, she had never met Lin Ran's boyfriend so far. She only heard about it from the nurse in the department, which made her wonder if Lin Ran was guarding her?
Worried about her poaching?

"He's very busy with work and studying."

Lin Ran's meaning was very simple. He wanted her to introduce her boyfriend to her colleagues in the department, but she was afraid there would be no chance.

"You... how far have you progressed? Have you met your parents, and when do you plan to get married? Let me tell you, you have to be careful about life-long events, and don't register and get a certificate with the other party in a hurry!"

Wang Qiang was obviously holding Lin Ran back and didn't want Lin Ran to get married prematurely.

Because this is not good for her to gain leverage!
However, Lin Ran didn't know Wang Qiang's thoughts at all, nor did she hear the meaning of the other party's words. She thought Wang Qiang was caring about her, so she couldn't help but curved her lips and said: "My parents are very satisfied with my boyfriend. This week I will visit his house with my boyfriend on the sixth day. As for the wedding date, the elders of the two parents have to decide. I will listen to my family about the specific time."

"Your boyfriend is taking you to meet his family this Saturday?"

Wang Qiang raised her voice fiercely.

"Yes, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Ran looked puzzled.

"No, there's nothing wrong with it."

Wang Qiang knew that she was too excited. To avoid being noticed by Lin Ran, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm just happy for you!"

"It's just a small thing."

Lin Ran looked slightly uncomfortable and said, "You and I are the same age, and I've never heard you mention your boyfriend. Tell me, what does your boyfriend do?"

"I don't have a boyfriend now."

Wang Qiang said: "We talked with him when I was in college, but after graduation, he was assigned to work in the county hospital in his hometown. My parents didn't want me to go to such a far place, so he and I chose to break up. .”

Wang Qiang actually didn't have much affection for her first love. On the one hand, the other person's family background was average, and on the other hand, her appearance was only above average, and her personality was too gentle.

Based on these points, Wang Qiang didn't feel much heartache when they broke up.

However, she deliberately showed some affection and sadness in front of Lin Ran. Her purpose was nothing more than to paralyze Lin Ran and hide her purpose behind Lin Ran's words.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask about your emotional affairs."

Lin Ran looked at Wang Qiang very apologetically.

"fine."

Wang Qiang shook her head, and she deliberately made a forced smile: "It's all in the past. Looking back now, I can only say that he and I were destined to be together."

Lin Ran didn't make a sound.

Wang Qiang asked at this time: "What is your boyfriend's name? How is your family situation? Is he from Beicheng?"

"His name is Luo Minghan, and his home is in Beicheng."

Lin Ran didn't say much.

Well, she hasn't been to her future parents-in-law's home yet, so she naturally doesn't know what the conditions are like at her husband's house.

"Luo Minghan? Why do I feel that this name is familiar?"

Wang Qiang frowned and thought.

"One of the former top picks with double yolk eggs."

When Wang Qiang heard Lin Ran's words, she remembered it. She couldn't help but feel extremely jealous, but her facial expression was very good: "I remembered that the double-yolked egg champions that year were twins, and their eldest brother was also Number one!"

She had seen news reports that the mother of the top pick with double yolk eggs was very powerful. She was not only a well-known national athlete, but also a professor at Shuimu University. She was the top scorer with perfect scores in the college entrance examination!

The report didn't mention much about their father, but with such a powerful mother, the father's identity must be even more extraordinary.

"Ah."

Lin Ran nodded, feeling quite proud, and said with a smile: "Luo Minghan's triplets are also top scorers, and they are all top scorers. They are a great family!"

"I envy you so much!"

Wang Qiang deliberately showed an exaggerated expression.

"You...you don't have to be like this, after all, I'm not the top pick!"

Lin Ran smiled sheepishly. She and Wang Qiang pushed their bicycles out of the shed. When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they said goodbye.

One is heading east, the other is heading west, and they ride away.

After returning home and having dinner, Lin Ran told her family that Minghan was going to take her to visit her home on Saturday.

"Mom knows. Mom will help you prepare the gifts you want to bring when you visit."

This is Mother Lin's voice.

"When you get back from get off work tomorrow, I'll go shopping with you at the mall."

Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable and said, "This makes me more sincere."

"Did you hear that? Before anything happened, your daughter's elbow turned outward. Does she feel uncomfortable?"

Mother Lin looked at Father Lin, intending to tease her daughter.

"I'm going to have a great son-in-law, and that's nothing to feel bad about."

Father Lin said with a smile.

Lin Ran's cheeks turned red: "Mom, Dad, without you teasing your daughter like this, how could I have turned my elbows outward?"

She just thought that when she went to someone else's door, she could choose the gift, which was a sign of respect for the host.

Knowing that her daughter was embarrassed, Mother Lin quickly smiled and said, "No, no, mom was just teasing you!"

Father Lin: "Since I have to visit on Saturday, I will buy you some nice clothes tomorrow and then go to the barber shop to tidy up your hair. Then I will leave a good impression on Minghan and his family."

"My cabinet is full of clothes and I don't need to buy new ones. As for my hair... I just had it done not long ago, so I don't need to do it again, right?"

After listening to Lin Ran's words, Lin's mother said, "According to what your father said, our family is not short of money, so we can make whatever we want."

Lin Ran laughed out loud: "Mom, you are so bold!"

"Your mother is a bit uninhibited."

Father Lin said: "Our family is indeed not in a tight financial position, but it is not as easy as your mother said!"

He is the director of Beicheng Fourth Hospital, his wife is the director of gynecology at the Central Hospital, and his son and daughter are also doctors. The combined income of the whole family is really not low.

But they are paid wages and cannot be compared with others who are business owners. Even if they have savings, it would be a bit arrogant to achieve the "achievement" of "anything they want".

……

In the blink of an eye, Saturday is here.

"Hanhan brought her girlfriend home after get off work."

Jiang Li said casually when he saw Luo Yanqing coming back.

"Ah."

Luo Yanqing nodded, indicating that he understood.

"That's it?"

Jiang Li's beautiful brows raised slightly.

"What are your plans?"

Luo Yanqing asked.

Jiang Li: "What arrangements can I make? There are a lot of fresh ingredients in the kitchen. I asked Hanhan about his girlfriend's food preferences and ordered a recipe for Uncle Mu. The house is also neatly tidied. I promise My future daughter-in-law will be satisfied when she walks into our home."

"then you……"

Luo Yanqing was confused.

"I'm asking you if you have any other ideas."

Jiang Li said with great interest: "This is the first time Hanhan has brought a girl home. As a father, is your reaction too dull?"

"It's Luo Minghan who talks about being friends, and he spends the days after marriage by himself. What I think doesn't matter."

Luo Yanqing held Jiang Li's hand and walked towards the courtyard where they lived. His clear yet magnetic voice was gentle: "You are my wife, I only care about what you think, your happiness, anger, sorrow and joy!"

"Don't be so disgusting in front of Hanhan's girlfriend."

Jiang Li glared at the man and warned him.

"I know the occasion."

Luo Yanqing responded.
