Chapter 346
After the words fell, a middle-aged woman appeared at the door of the ward. The visitor was well dressed, with light makeup on her face, and fair skin. She looked only about 40 years old. Displeased.
The person who came was Xiang Qi's mother, Tao Lan.
"Mom, why are you back?" Xiang Qi looked at Tao Lan who suddenly appeared at the door, and was taken aback. He subconsciously looked at Ah Shu beside him, only to see that the latter had his head down, and his expression was not very good-looking. .
Ah Shu has never really dealt with Tao Lan, but because the latter is friends with Mrs. Shen, she is no stranger to Tao Lan.
It's just that she didn't want to meet Tao Lan at this time, otherwise she wouldn't have to deliberately avoid her when she came to visit Xiang Qi every day, and it would be a bit embarrassing to bump into her face to face.
Seeing this, Xiang Qi quietly wrapped Ah Shu's cool fingers hanging by his side with his uninjured hand, and tightened it.
Tao Lan strode forward from the door, picked up a cell phone from the bedside table, "Mom was driving halfway, and suddenly remembered that she forgot to take the cell phone, so she came back to get it..."
When she said this, she seemed to have just noticed Ah Shu, glanced at her, and asked Xiang Qi curiously, "Who is this?"
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Shen Shu." Ah Shu calmly broke away from Xiang Qi's hand and introduced himself.
Tao Lan frowned and thought for a while, her expression a little confused, "Shen Shu?"
"My mother, Aunt Shang Yiqing, should know her."
Unexpectedly, Tao Lan still looked puzzled, "Shang Yiqing, this name is a bit familiar, but I really can't remember it. People really can't grow old, and their memory is getting worse every year."
Her appearance was as if Ah Shu was playing tricks on her, which was embarrassing.
Xiang Qi frowned and reminded, "Mom, it's the Aunt Shang you went to attend the class before, and you praised her for her good class, why don't you remember?"
Tao Lan looked at Ah Shu suddenly when she heard the words, "Are you Ah Qing's daughter? I heard that her daughter has married into a good family, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why are you here?"
Although Tao Lan didn't say it clearly, Ah Shu knew that she was referring to the matter of her marrying into Li's family, so she smiled coyly, "I heard that Officer Xiang was injured in a car accident, so I came to visit him."
Tao Lan let out an "oh", her gaze fell on the soup in the thermos, her expression changed, "Ms. Shen made this?"
She nodded.
"Miss Shen came to see Aqi for her kindness. I'm very grateful. It's just that the doctor said he'd better not eat these greasy things for a while, I'm afraid..." Tao Lan said pointedly.
In order to avoid greasyness, Ah Shu blanched the bones before stewing the soup, and added some herbs that are good for the healing of Xiang Qi's bones, so in fact, the soup she brought today has a suitable concentration and is suitable for patients to take.
No matter how nervous Ah Shu is, he can understand the intention of Tao Lan's words, and he also knows that she does not welcome her at this moment, not to mention that as a lawyer, Ah Shu's ability to read words and emotions is much better than ordinary people.
From the time Tao Lan appeared at the door just now, Ah Shu could see the flash of surprise in her eyes. At that time, Tao Lan should have recognized him, but later, she first pretended not to see him, and then did not remember. Her own mother, she knew that she did all this just to show her attitude.
I'm afraid that Tao Lan not only knows herself, but also remembers clearly, at least how she got married into Li's family after losing her reputation.
The matter was already so clear, it was pointless to pierce it any further, in the end it was just a slap in the face.
Ah Shu silently poured the soup back into the thermos, tightened the lid, took out a few pieces of paper to wipe the spilled soup, and then looked at her and said, "Sorry, I didn't think about it." at this point."
"I appreciate Miss Shen's kindness, but Xiang's chef will prepare meals for A Qi according to the doctor's requirements every day, so I don't need to trouble you."
Ah Shu clasped his fingers, looked at Tao Lan, with a smile on his lips, "I see."
"Mom!" Xiang Qi smelled something unusual, and pulled Ah Shu's hand to the side, "I shamelessly asked Ah Shu to cook the soup for me, and I think the soup is very good, and I don't like it when I drink it." It feels greasy, but the dishes made by the cook at home are all the same, which makes people lose their appetite when they look at it."
Tao Lan's complexion changed slightly, it was obvious that Xiang Qiming's blatant protection made her very displeased, but displeasure was displeasure, she didn't show it on her face after all, she just looked at Ah Shu with a slightly uncomfortable smile, " The Xiang family's heirs are weak, and A Qi is the only seedling of the third generation, and he has been pampered since he was a child, Miss Shen laughed."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Xiang Qi thoughtfully, "Miss Shen, I have something I want to talk to my son alone, can you avoid it first?"
Ah Shu glanced at the two of them, and nodded with interest: "I just remembered that I have something important to do, so I won't disturb the police officer to rest, Auntie, Shen Shu will take his leave first."
The strength on the wrist suddenly tightened, and Xiang Qi was still holding her hand, and said with displeasure, "Why didn't I hear you say something important just now?"
Ah Shu pursed his lips, "I forgot just now, Doctor Feng asked me to come over, saying that Nian Nian's condition has changed."
Xiang Qi looked at her suspiciously, but didn't see anything unusual on her face.
He looked at Tao Lan who was looking down, and finally let go of her hand slowly. Originally, he didn't want to let Tao Lan know about Shen Shu's return so early, but since she met her, he simply said once. Clearly, but for some words, it would be better not to have Shen Shu present.
"You go, Nian Nian's condition is important."
Ah Shu let go, glanced at him hesitantly, picked up the thermos bucket on the table and left quickly.
In the ward, only Tao Lan and Xiang Qi's mother and son were left.
The two stared at each other in mid-air for a moment, Tao Lan glanced at the direction in which Ah Shu left at the door, and spoke first: "Is she the woman you're talking about?"
Without hesitation, Xiang Qi nodded firmly and said, "Yes, the person I'm talking about is Shen Shu. Mom also knows her, right? Back then you told me that you liked her very much..."
"It was then, and now is now!" Tao Lan interrupted him sharply, "At the beginning, Mom wanted the scholars of the four generations of the Shen family, and Ah Qing and I knew each other very well, and I had seen that girl a few times from afar. She's a good girl, but I didn't expect such a shameless daughter to come out of such a strict family style in the Shen family. I heard that she seduced the husband in order to marry into a wealthy family, and finally came to the door with a big belly to force the marriage. It made her have to marry her. I also heard that her father forced her to sever the father-daughter relationship, but she didn't change her mind, Aqi, we will not want such a woman, nor will we!"
Xiang Qi's face turned pale, "Mom, Shen Shu is not the person you think, you don't have much contact with her, but if you get in touch with her for a long time, you will find that she is actually a good girl!"
"No matter whether she is a good girl or not, she can't hide the fact that she was once married. And when her husband died, she disappeared without a trace without even going to the mourning hall, how good can she be?"
"Mom, how did you know these things?" Xiang Qi frowned, and finally heard something wrong in Tao Lan's words. It stands to reason that he didn't know the details of these things, and Tao Lan shouldn't know so clearly That's right!
An uncomfortable expression flashed across Tao Lan's face, "At the beginning, this matter was widely spread in Qingcheng, so it would be hard for me not to know about it! In short, no matter what kind of woman you like, as long as the family background is clean, my mother will not Object, but only Shen Shu, mother will never agree!"
"Mom..." Xiang Qi raised his head and looked at her, but his words were extremely firm, "It's my business who I like, and it's also my business who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Whether you and Dad agree or not, I don't care. I will give up on Shen Shu!"
Tao Lan was stunned for a while by the reckless look on his face, and his expression slowly sank.
In the blink of an eye just now, she suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when she first learned that Shen Shu was going to marry into Li's family, Xiang Qi, who seldom drank heavily, was drunk every day for a period of time. Thinking about it now, I just feel horrified.
Could it be that his son's love for that girl of the Shen family was deeply rooted at that time?
This discovery surprised Tao Lan. It is undeniable that Xiang Qi was right. At first, she was satisfied with Shen Shu, because she and Xiang Qi were on equal footing in all respects, and it was said that the two of them cooperated in work. It was a tacit understanding. If those things hadn't happened later, she wished that she could become the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family. Even at that time, seeing that the two got along well, she had already discussed their good affairs with Shang Yiqing.
Special...
Tao Lan closed her eyes, looking at Xiang Qi lying on the hospital bed with plaster casts on her legs and feet, she just felt distressed.
The so-called knowing son is better than mother, she understands better than anyone else that although her son is smiling and good-tempered every day, his personality is just like his father's, and he is extremely stubborn. It's like changing his will, even the way he treats his feelings is exactly the same as the young father Xiang, stubborn enough.
Regarding Shen Shu's matter, he was probably determined by the weight of the weight and could not force it, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
Thinking of this, Tao Lan tried his best to calm down his mind, and slowly sat down beside the hospital bed, "We will talk about this matter later, the doctor said that you need to rest more, the injury will heal quickly."
Xiang Qi was a little surprised by his mother's sudden change of attitude, but since her attitude was no longer as strong as before, Xiang Qi saw a glimmer of hope. He held his mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, trust me, Shen Shu is really not what you imagined, as long as you get in touch with her more, you will gradually fall in love with her."
When Tao Lan heard this, the smile on the corner of her mouth froze instantly. Although she didn't say anything more, her brows furrowed almost invisibly.
Noticing her expression, Xiang Qi sighed secretly. It seems that it is not an easy task for Tao Lan to accept Shen Shu.So for the time being, it's better not to mention the matter of Shen Nian, so as not to provoke an even more extreme reaction from my mother.
While his mood was fluctuating, Tao Lan's heart was also surging, but no one expressed his thoughts again.
All of a sudden, there was silence in the ward, the mother and son lowered their eyes and remained silent, each thinking.
At the same time, outside the ward, Ah Shu was quietly leaning against the wall, his finger knuckles turning white while holding the thermos.
She never thought that Xiang Qi had such a deep obsession with her, nor did she think that Tao Lan would have such a big prejudice against her.
It's just that she has no right to blame anyone, after all, she is responsible for the current situation.
After taking a deep breath, she turned and left.
Ah Shu did not go directly to Shen Nian's ward, but chose a secluded chair in the leisure area of the hospital and sat down. In the afternoon, most of the patients were taking a nap, and there were only a few family members in the leisure area.
She put the thermos aside, leaned on the back of the chair lazily basking in the sun.
Today's sun is not strong, the breeze is mild, and the sun is very comfortable. After a while, she wants to take a nap.
There seemed to be someone sitting next to him, with the smell of hospital-specific disinfectant, very familiar.
Ah Shu opened his eyelids, and when he saw clearly that the person sitting next to her was Feng Zhong, he closed his eyelids again, "Doctor Feng, aren't you going to work?"
"I just had lunch, and I went out to eat." Feng Chong stared at Ah Shu, the wind loosened some of her hair, and it stuck to her fair face in a mess, looking a bit embarrassed. He said, "You seem to be in a bad mood."
Ah Shu twitched the corners of his lips, "It's a bit bad."
"what happened?"
She was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm thinking about the question you asked me a few days ago."
"Ok?"
Ah Shu slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes were filled with mist, "Doctor Feng, have you ever loved someone who fell in love with nothing but everything?"
Feng Zhong lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head, "No."
He paused, and his eyes fell on her face, "But I have seen such a person."
