Chapter 119 I Have Only You

The phone suddenly rang in her bag, and she frantically searched for it. Until this moment, she still seemed to be imagining that it would be Lu Zhengnan who called, and said to her: "Chu Xiao, I regret it."

But, no, the name displayed on the screen is Eric.

Feeling so lost in her heart, she laughed at herself being stupid, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down before picking up the phone.

"Chuxiao, my hotel in the ancient city opened today, and the effect is very good, so I'll give you a call, thank you for your design." Eric's voice was full of joy, which made Ye Chuxiao feel a little infected, and smiled. She smiled: "Really, I just happened to go back to the ancient city today."

"Really?" Eric was surprised: "That's great, can I invite you to have a meal and see your own results."

Ye Chuxiao hesitated for a moment, then said "OK" softly.

The plane ticket she booked was for tomorrow morning, and she has no place to go today anyway, and Yunshui Pavilion, she doesn't want to go back.

An hour later, she arrived at Eric's hotel, and on the way, she had forced herself to collect her emotions.

After getting out of the car, Eric greeted him personally at the door: "Why did you suddenly go back to the ancient city?"

"Come back to do some errands." Ye Chuxiao replied lightly, turned his eyes away, and pretended to look at the layout in the hall.

"Many people have praised your design." Eric praised with a smile.

Ye Chuxiao was also very happy to be affirmed, but at the same time, he also felt a little regretful. He didn't know when he would be able to return to this industry and do the work he liked.

He also noticed her emotions, and asked softly, "Is the child better?"

"It's much better than before." Ye Chuxiao came back to his senses, smiled, paused and asked again: "This is the first time I've come to a hotel designed by myself, can I check in tonight and experience it?"

There was a look of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't ask further, he nodded: "Of course, you will be a platinum VIP in the future, not only this one, but all my hotels in other places, you can stay for free."

"Ah? This is too extravagant!" Ye Chuxiao laughed, "If I have to live in the presidential suite every time, then you will be in a big loss."

Talking and laughing, Ye Chuxiao tried her best not to think about the divorce, telling herself that life will always go on, you have to be strong and hold on!
But despite this, the sadness in the blink of an eye was still seen by the experienced ERic, but he never asked.

Because there were still guests coming one after another, and Eric was very busy, Ye Chuxiao didn't want to disturb him, so he asked to book a room first to rest.

Eric then arranged a room for her, she thanked her and went upstairs alone.

After entering the room, she saw the big pink hibiscus on the wall. She smiled and stroked it with her fingertips. Then she sat down by the window, lying on the window sill, looking at the rockery pavilion below, and killing time.

Whenever the name Lu Zhengnan flashed across her mind, she would abruptly call out to herself to stop, trying to turn her thoughts to other directions.

When she really couldn't turn around, she would pinch her own hand and tell herself over and over again: Don't think about it, Ye Chuxiao, don't think about it, just fight.

By the time the doorbell rang, her tiger's mouth had already been pinched red by herself.

She went into the bathroom and wiped her face in a hurry before she opened the door. Eric stood at the door and asked her to go downstairs for dinner.

She agreed, and hurried to get the bag, but accidentally knocked it over on the ground, and the things were scattered all over the place, and the divorce certificate fell on the very edge.

She hurried to pick it up, trying to hide it, but it was a step too late, Eric had already seen it, and asked hesitantly, "Are you divorced?"

The mask of pretending to be strong was exposed, and she couldn't pretend anymore, she squatted on the ground and tidied up indiscriminately, nodded, her voice choked with uncontrollable sobs: "Yes, I'm leaving."

"How could this be?" Eric asked with a sigh.Although he appreciates Ye Chuxiao, he is not a person who takes advantage of others' dangers, so he just feels heavy at the moment.

"A lot of things... I have to." Ye Chuxiao reluctantly wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so she could only clenched her lips.

Eric didn't speak any more, just knelt down to help her pick up and pack things together, and then said softly, "Let's go, go down to eat first."

When we arrived at the restaurant, during the meal, Eric never asked a word about the divorce, but just served her soup with vegetables, as meticulous and gentle as a brother.

After dinner, he pushed back all the other invitations, and accompanied her to drink tea at the cafe, looking at the clear water outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to the melodious sound of Guqin, the pain in her heart subsided, and said to Eric in a low voice Say "thank you".

He just smiled and said, "We're friends."

After sitting here for a whole afternoon, and having dinner together, Eric sent her back to the room, and patted her on the shoulder at the door: "Anyway, be optimistic."

"Okay." She nodded and entered the door.

Eric turned and left, entered the elevator, shook his head slightly and sighed...

The next morning, when Ye Chuxiao was about to leave, Eric insisted on sending her to the airport. When she was about to enter the security checkpoint, he pointed to the phone in his hand: "Remember, if you need anything, you must call me."

She waved tearfully and said thank you again.

When the plane took off and left the city, my heart seemed to be covered with layers of clouds, and I could no longer see the joys and sorrows clearly.

Will you forget it slowly?
The book says that the time to forget someone is the same as the time to love someone.

So, take another year, or a little longer, three years, five years... ten years, you will always forget it?
Lu Zhengnan, I really... want to forget you.

Because the memory is too painful.

When she finally arrived in Shanghai, she put the divorce certificate in the most secret compartment of the bag. Even now, she still doesn't want Qi Zhen to know about her and Lu Zhengnan's affairs.

As soon as she entered the ward, the nurse let out a long breath as soon as she saw her: "You are back!"

"What's wrong?" she asked hurriedly.

"Oh, I've been so worried these two days. After you left, the little girl insisted on not eating or drinking for some reason. The doctor had no choice but to give him another drip." The nurse's words made Ye Chuxiao panic, Run to the ward quickly.

Pushing open the door, I saw Qi Zhen coaxing Mi Lier to drink water, but she pursed her lips tightly, and the water flowed down from the corner of her lips.

"How could this be?" Ye Chuxiao asked anxiously.

Hearing her voice, Qi Zhen turned around happily: "Chu Xiao, are you back?"

But Ye Chuxiao didn't even bother to answer, so she rushed to the bed and called Mi Li'er loudly.

Mi Li'er's eyes suddenly turned around, looking at her, there seemed to be aggrieved expression in her pupils.

Ye Chuxiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Mi Lier, do you... think mom doesn't want you anymore?"

A miracle happened suddenly—water mist gradually gathered in Mi Li'er's eyes, and finally, a tear rolled out.

Both Ye Chuxiao and Qi Zhen were stunned, and then, Ye Chuxiao hugged Mi Lier in surprise, crying and laughing: "Mi Lier, you recognize your mother, don't you?"

Mi Li'er still didn't move, but the tears flowed more and more.

Qi Zhen also came back to his senses and ran out to call the doctor.

When the doctor came to see this situation, he was amazed again and again, saying that it was a sign of returning to normal.

Ye Chuxiao wept unceasingly, and when everyone else went out, she choked up and stroked Mi Lier's face: "Baby, you are afraid that Mommy will be lonely, right? That's why you finally woke up to be with Mommy."

Mi Lier just looked at her, always silently watching her...

From that day on, Mi Lier really recognized Ye Chuxiao, only Ye Chuxiao, she ate when she was fed, and closed her mouth when others fed her.At night, Ye Chuxiao read a story by the bedside before she would fall asleep, and sometimes she fell asleep, and would suddenly open her eyes to see if her mother was still around.

Her improvement and dependence finally relieved Ye Chuxiao's sadness and gave him new hope.

And Qi Zhen is also very satisfied with the current situation, the child is gradually waking up; while Ye Chuxiao looks calm, but sometimes lost expression, and the sudden return to the ancient city before, made him feel the relationship between her and Lu Zhengnan. Something big must have happened; moreover, Lu Zhengnan's current situation is getting worse day by day.

He believed in himself and was about to get his wish.

Lu Zhengnan has indeed fallen to the bottom now, whether it is emotion or luck.

When he came back from the ancient city, he didn't even have the mood to play chess with the old man. He often took the chess pieces, but didn't know where to drop them, and sat in the yard for a whole day.

As the wall fell and everyone pushed, the affairs of the Lu family had already spread in circles. People who were acquainted with each other avoided it for fear of not being able to, and those who had festivals were now even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and there was Qi Zhen in the dark. Add fuel to the flames.

Prosperity and decline are just overnight.

He entrusted someone to sell all the properties under his name, including Shidu Garden.

He was really empty-handed.

And this is far from over. On this day, Yu Xingyuan called and told him anxiously that there was news from people inside the procuratorate that he was ready to file a criminal lawsuit against him.

"Just sue, there's nothing you can do." Lu Zhengnan smiled wryly.

"I'm still thinking of a way." Yu Xingyuan comforted him.

Lu Zhengnan sighed: "Forget it, I'll accept the loss, what should I do, at worst, I'll come out in a few years, please help me find a job to make ends meet."

At this time, he was still teasing, but Yu Xingyuan was sad and silent.

"Brother, don't worry about me. Anyway, I've already settled down at Chuxiao's side. If I really go in later, it will be fine if you help take care of me, old man. I'm not in the way. I'm still young, aren't I? "Lu Zhengnan turned to comfort him.

Yu Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you and Chu Xiao...really separated?"

"Leave." Lu Zhengnan lowered his eyelids, and unconsciously drew circles on the ground with a dead branch, his tone as calm as possible.

"Fourth--" Yu Xingyuan only sighed, but was speechless.

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Zhengnan didn't want to say any more, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Yu Xingyuan was over there, in a daze, but Sheng Xuan rushed down from upstairs, pulled him anxiously and asked, "Did you just ask that fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law divorced? Divorced from what? Divorced?"

Up to now, I can't hide it anymore, Yu Xingyuan nodded sadly.

"Fool, fourth brother is just a fool!" Sheng Xuan yelled with her hands on her hips, tears in her eyes: "He thought it was good for fourth sister-in-law? Believe it or not, fourth sister-in-law would rather guard him and send him to prison I don't think it's more painful than being abandoned by him like this! What women want, you men don't understand at all!"

Yu Xingyuan was speechless.

"No, I'll call my sister-in-law right now to clarify." She then went to get her mobile phone to dial.

"Xuanzi, don't be impulsive." Yu Xingyuan wanted to stop her, but she simply rushed into the next guest room and locked the door...

"Fourth sister-in-law, fourth brother has no choice but to divorce you. Now he is forced by third brother to go bankrupt and may go to jail. I am afraid that this will drag you down." After the call was connected, Sheng Xuan finished these words in one breath. , However, after waiting for a long time, there was silence.

"Sister-in-law...are you listening, sister-in-law?" She hesitated for a while, then asked softly, tentatively.

"Sorry, I'm your third brother." The person over there finally spoke, and Sheng Xuan suddenly felt thunderous.

The corners of Qi Zhen's mouth curled slightly, his eyes darkened: "Xuanzi, what a coincidence, your fourth sister-in-law went downstairs to bask in the sun with Mi Lier, and left her phone upstairs, so I took your call."

Sheng Xuan's mind went blank, she squeezed the phone tightly, unable to speak a word.

"Aren't you too biased, huh?" Qi Zhen smiled lowly: "It seems that you are completely on Lu Zhengnan's side, well, then, I will tell you, if you call and talk to Chu Xiao about these things again , I will try harder and make your fourth brother worse, how about it?"

"Third brother, you are such a bastard!" Sheng Xuan scolded angrily, "Did you really miss half of the former friendship?"

Qi Zhen sneered: "I won't tell you too much. Anyway, remember what you said just now, and at the same time tell elder brother and Xiang Min that whoever stabs this matter now is equivalent to stabbing Lu Zhengnan with your own hands. Look. Let's do it."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Listening to the busy voice over there, Sheng Xuan felt that this world was too cruel. Why did the companions who had been together since childhood and treated each other with so much heart turn into so much when they grew up? so?Why?She really can't figure it out!
"Xuanzi, open the door." Yu Xingyuan knocked on the door outside and called her name.

She finally walked over numbly and opened the door, threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly...

At this moment, Qi Zhen, after hanging up the phone, deleted the chat record as if nothing had happened, put the phone back as it was, and then went downstairs to find Ye Chuxiao and the others.

Today's Mi Li'er has made great progress compared to before, especially when she is with Ye Chuxiao, she still laughs occasionally.

When he passed by, Ye Chuxiao was putting her hands up on her head to pretend to be a bunny, Mi Lier was smiling at her, the mother and daughter were bathed in the warm afternoon sun, looking so beautiful.

Qi Zhen stood not far away and enjoyed this scene, remembering what Sheng Xuan said just now, Lu Zhengnan and Ye Chuxiao had divorced, and he felt very comfortable.

Well, from now on, their world is clean, and only he is left.

When Ye Chuxiao played with Mi Lier for a while and was about to push her to go somewhere else, Qi Zhen stepped forward: "No more pushing, let me hug her."

As he spoke, he picked up Mi Li'er from the wheelchair, and Ye Chuxiao could only silently push the wheelchair to follow.

"When Mi Li'er gets better, let's move back home. It will be more convenient after all." He turned to look at Ye Chuxiao and smiled, but she felt a chill in her heart, she didn't answer, she just turned her gaze away .

Qi Zhen didn't take it seriously, and kissed Mi Li'er's face: "Baby wants to go home, doesn't he? Is it boring to stay in the hospital every day? We'll go back in a few days, and Dad will buy you a lot. Doll, can you put it in your room?"

His words seemed to be asking, but in fact they showed the force of execution. Ye Chuxiao clenched her hands tightly, raised her eyes and looked at him: "I came to Shanghai to treat Mi Lier. Her home is not here." here."

"Where is that? Yunshui Pavilion?" Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Speaking of Yunshui Pavilion, Ye Chuxiao felt a sharp pain in his heart, and could no longer speak.

Qi Zhen smiled, and went to see the fountain with Mi Lier in his arms...

After going upstairs for a while, because the records had been deleted, Ye Chuxiao didn't notice the abnormality of the phone, and couldn't know how important a passage he had missed.

And Sheng Xuan did not have the courage to tell her the truth again, fearing that Qi Zhen would attack Lu Zhengnan again.

On that afternoon, Qi Zhen actually went to Director Lu and asked if he could take Mi Lier home.

Director Lu pondered for a while, then replied: "Now the child's trauma is indeed almost healed, and he can basically eat and defecate normally, and he is recovering well. If he can take care of it when he goes home, it's not impossible."

Qi Zhen was overjoyed, and when he returned to the ward, he declared to Ye Chuxiao that the doctor had discharged them.

"Then how?" Ye Chuxiao disagreed: "Mi Li'er has just gotten better, so we should continue the treatment..."

But Qi Zhen said without any reason: "The doctor says it's fine, and I will go through the discharge procedures in the afternoon."

Ye Chu felt hairy, so she stood up and went to Director Lu, but there was no one in the office, and the nurse told her that the director had gone for an operation.

She had to come back, sitting anxiously in the ward.

However, the attending doctor was not there, and the procedures could not be completed for a while. Qi Zhen wandered around for a while, and suddenly thought of another thing.

Without telling anyone else, he quietly went downstairs to the outpatient building on the other side of the hospital, and made an anonymous call.

When it was finally his turn, he sat in front of the doctor, tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and stated his condition calmly: "For some reasons, I was worried that I was infected with AIDS, so I went for an antibody test and it was negative, but there The doctor said that we have to check again after the window period, and it has been almost three months now, can you write a list, and I can make sure?"

There are many such things nowadays, the doctor didn't say much, and quickly issued a checklist, and he went downstairs to draw blood.

During the hour he waited for the results, he fidgeted.

For so long, he has experienced too many things, and he has gradually taken this matter lightly, but now, when everything begins to achieve the result he wants, he is even more panicked.

Because victory is in sight, I am even more afraid of losing.

Staring at the clock above the hall, ticking, ticking, spinning round and round, his heart tightened more and more.

When finally, the hour hand moved to a full frame, he got up to get the result, and it was already very difficult to breathe.
