my Mr. Ruffian

Chapter 117 Memories Need Courage

The meeting was held in the afternoon. Lu Fang suddenly wanted to eat shredded chicken porridge. Qin Tan is a strong woman in the workplace, but when it comes to cooking, she only stays at the stage of cooking noodles.So Cheng Xiao also took on the important task of making porridge.

Lu Fang specially sent her a driver and asked him to take her to the vegetable market and kill the live chickens.The driver was also a very simple and honest person, and he accompanied Cheng Xiao around the vegetable market several times, and when he came out, his hands were full of things.

Lu Fang was too tired these days, and finally wanted to eat, so Cheng Xiao naturally wanted to make more food.I also deliberately searched for recipes for nourishing qi and blood from injuries on the Internet.

Lu Fang's taste has never been very picky, at least until now, Cheng Xiao has not seen what he likes to eat or what he doesn't like to eat.

For the porridge, I specially selected the tenderest part of the chicken, which is so rotten and slippery that it melts in the mouth.Stewed chicken soup, put in the tonic that I just bought at the Chinese medicine store, and within a short while, the kitchen was filled with the umami taste of chicken soup and the aroma of medicine.

This was the first time in a long time that Cheng Xiaoye was cooking in the kitchen without distraction.Since the divorce, she spends most of her time at home with quick-frozen dumplings and reunion instant noodles.

After everything was done, she started to make lotus seed soup again. Lu put it on the fire, and the lotus seed soup could clear the fire.The kitchen was full of heat for a while, and the smell of food wafted out of the kitchen and filled the living room.

In addition to these, Cheng Xiao also fried three light side dishes.Although it is winter, it is still warm when it is packed in an insulated box and taken to the hospital.

After working in the kitchen all afternoon, Cheng Xiaoye's forehead was covered with fine sweat.After finishing it, carefully put it in the insulation box, and put it in two insulation boxes before installing it.

Lu Fang originally asked the driver to pick her up, but just now she thought it would take some time to cook, so she asked the driver to go back.She was embarrassed to ask someone to come here, so she twisted the insulation box and went downstairs to take a taxi.

There are some things you can't change, you just have to face them.This was the first time Cheng Xiaoye's heart regained his calm after meeting Jiang Yingjing that time.

Standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus, looking at the high-rise buildings shrouded in gray fog, she breathed a sigh of relief.Avoiding yourself, deceiving yourself and others doesn't change anything, life goes on.

Cheng Xiao also looked up at the gray sky, thinking in a trance, if he can't even be a friend, no matter whether he believes it or not, after this period of time, he will explain everything clearly, no matter he Whether to let go, or continue to hate or loathe each other, they are just the most familiar strangers.

The words of the most familiar stranger deeply hurt her, there was a momentary blank in her mind, and her heart ached.

What she and Jiang Yingjing lacked was communication, she knew it.However, between two seemingly closest people, sometimes they are more indifferent and difficult to talk about than strangers.

In the one and a half years of marriage, most of the faces he gave her were cold and indifferent.Sometimes the two of them stay at home all day and don't talk more than ten sentences.Sometimes, indifference is the most hurtful weapon.

That initial sweetness and tenderness, no matter how hard she tried to be an understanding wife, she would never go back to the beginning.

On the huge LCD screen opposite, there is an advertisement for kitchenware.The beautiful wife made a big dinner at home, lit candles on the birthday cake, and gave a birthday surprise to her husband who came home from get off work.

A huge peach heart appeared on the screen, with a small line of words in the middle: If you love him, use a certain brand of oven.

Cheng Xiao also stared blankly, and suddenly remembered Jiang Yingjing's birthday last year.She made a big dinner without waiting for him to come back.He booked the venue, and a group of friends celebrated his birthday.In the early hours of the morning, he was drunk and sent home. There were several bright red lipstick marks on his shirt and coat.

She quietly put the table of vegetables into the refrigerator, and the cake was given to an old security guard in the security room downstairs.The estrangement will eventually accumulate more and more, and the pretended calm will burst open one day, blowing up to pieces.

Cheng Xiaoye's eyes are dull, and it takes courage to face memories.

It was the rush hour for getting off work, and the traffic was very heavy along the way.When Cheng Xiaoye was about to arrive at the hospital, an ambulance roared past with a piercing siren.Her eyelids jumped heavily for no reason.

After getting out of the car, he twisted the insulation box and walked to the entrance of the hospital. He saw a group of doctors and nurses in white coats carrying a person from the ambulance and hurried into the hospital.Followed by two men in formal suits, their backs are somewhat familiar.

Cheng Xiao didn't care about the wet and slippery ground and the spilled soup, and quickly ran in.

Before reaching the door of the ward, Qin Tan hurriedly walked over from the other end of the corridor.Her face was pale as if she had been frightened.Absolutely no consistent calm and self-possession.

Cheng Xiaoye's heart skipped a beat, he stayed where he was and asked stupidly: "What's wrong?"

Qin Tan's lips kept trembling, and he said in a trembling voice, "Boss Lu's wound is cracked and bleeding profusely, and he is in the emergency room."

There was a bang in Cheng Xiaoye's head, and the insulation box in one hand fell to the ground with a bang.She didn't care about the splashed soup, put another insulated box into Qin Tan's arms, and ran towards the emergency room.

The emergency room is on the third floor, and their ward is on the seventh floor.Unable to wait for the elevator, she ran down the fire escape.I bumped into a nurse at the turn, she said sorry in a hoarse voice, and rushed down the stairs.

"Miss Cheng, Boss Lu is still in the operating room." Shen Zhixin said in a low voice, his face full of guilt.

"How could this happen?" Cheng Xiaoye murmured as he looked at the red light in the emergency room.

When she left, he smiled and asked her to cook more delicious food. Why did the wound burst and bleed profusely in the blink of an eye?

Her face was pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.Shen Zhixin looked at it, and felt that the words in his throat were difficult to spit out.

"It was Mr. Lu who went to attend an emergency meeting of the board of directors. He invited media reporters on the spot. He wanted to suppress the rumors that he was seriously injured. He insisted on not letting anyone help him. He got out of the car and walked from the gate of Lu's to Conference room." Shen Zhixin's tone was a bit sad, he and Lu Fang had known each other since abroad, and although they were superiors and subordinates, their relationship was like that of brothers.

In foreign countries, he got into trouble many times, and it was Lu Fang who helped him out of the predicament.But at this time, he couldn't help at all.They could only watch helplessly as he endured the severe pain and smiled as he faced the spotlight and the reporters who kept asking questions.

All he can do is try his best to help him block those people and prevent them from touching him.
