Chapter 3. Met in the hospital
After that day, life was as usual, living in a dull manner.
Ren Shaochen is not a harsh person. He vaguely felt that Qu Ruoning had a little different during this period, but he could not say that he had a specific change. He could only think that she was in a bad mood.
Qu Ruoning was in extreme conflict. On the one hand, she could not tolerate Ren Shaochen having other women, and on the other hand, she was reluctant to leave him. Before she could pay attention to her thoughts, she could only remain silent and pretend to know nothing.
She loved him for so many years, and how could she let go easily. Even if she had an accidental miscarriage two years ago, she didn't have the courage to blame him. In this marriage, she was humble and willing.
She always thought that even if Ren Shaochen didn't love her, she would be softened by her efforts over the years. She didn't expect that Ren Shaochen was a pot of water that would never be boiled, and her enthusiasm would not cause any ripples if it was boiled.
For a while, she has been thinking about a question: Why did Ren Shaochen marry her? Was it purely because of responsibility? If that were the case, then there was no need for their marriage to exist from the beginning.
Qu Ruoning looked at the computer, looked at the recruitment page and was stunned again. The ringtone of the cell phone rang, and she regained her senses and answered the phone.
The caller ID is a strange number, and the sound is not unfamiliar. Qu Ruoning could hear this is Tang Ling's voice.
Before she could find her, Tang Ling couldn't wait to come to her.
The two made an appointment at a secluded tea restaurant. When Qu Ruo arrived, Tang Ling had obviously sat for a while, and only one-third of the water in the cup was left.
Qu Ruoning walked over and sat down calmly, greeted Tang Ling calmly, and ordered a cappuccino to the waiter.
"I'll just get straight to the point." Tang Ling didn't shy and said bluntly: "Mr. Ren and I have been together for a while."
Qu Ruoning pursed her lips, picked it up slightly, with a contemptuous smile: "I know."
Tang Ling is extremely beautiful but has a slightly weak aura. She couldn't see Qu Ruoning's attitude, so she said in a kind tone: "I hope you can help us."
"Haha." Qu Ruoning smiled and attracted a lot of attention.
Tang Ling didn't think that her words were funny, so she frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing at?"
"Of course I'm laughing at you." Qu Ruo Ning stopped laughing, frowned with a sip of coffee, and slightly sarcastic: "Don't you think you are too ridiculous. Why should you interfere in my family? Don't tell me the theory of true love to the mistress."
Qu Ruoning's volume did not lower, and the diners on the table next to him looked at them. Tang Ling bit her lip, unable to hold on to her face, and was so annoyed that she said: "Don't you think it's a very sad thing to occupy a man who doesn't love you?"
This sentence hit Qu Ruoning's fatal point. Over the years, she never knew what Ren Shaochen was thinking.
Seeing Qu Ruoning stunned, Tang Ling calmed down and said in a tweaked voice: "He is responsible to you and will definitely not abandon you, but have you ever thought about his happiness? If you love him, why can't you let go?"
"It's not your turn to say these words!" Qu Ruo narrowed his mind, looked at Tang Ling with a smile, and said, "Do you think you can get Ren Shaochen by knowing some tricks?"
That morning, she went out to the Regent Hotel early in the morning because someone sent her a text message to ask her to go.
Qu Ruoning was not stupid and dull. After thinking about it, the only thing that could be set up by Tang Ling was the one who thought that she would get angry when she knew Ren Shaochen cheated. Unexpectedly, she was calm and had no movement for several days, so Tang Ling was anxious, so she couldn't wait to ask her out for a showdown today.
"If he loves you, you don't have to be so scheming." Qu Ruoning chuckled sarcastically and said mercilessly: "The reason you came to me is because you know that Ren Shaochen will never divorce me because of you."
Tang Ling's lower lip was bitten white. Before today, she had always mistakenly thought Qu Ruoning was a gentle person, but she didn't expect that she was not a good person either. Qu Ruoning's words touched her heart and lungs.
"I advise you to give up when you are in trouble. If you can get some money from Ren Shaochen, you will know what to do. I can think he is spending it." Qu Ruoning restrained the sneer on the corner of her mouth and warned seriously: "I'm too greedy, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits."
Tang Ling was so angry that her face was red, and she left angrily with her bag.
Qu Ruoning looked at her back, suddenly lowered her arms, lowered her shoulders, and leaned on the sofa as tired as she was. She was originally a soft-hearted person, but she was very tired of arming with such an aggressive look.
I sat down in the cafe and paid the bill and went home.
I drove to the supermarket near my home and bought some daily necessities and ingredients.
When Ren Shaochen went out this morning, he said that he would come back to eat in the evening. He had never had dinner at home and she hadn't cooked for a long time.
Qu Ruoning returned home, changed her clothes, tied up her apron, washed and cut vegetables.
An hour later, three dishes and one soup were officially released, and Qu Ruoning served the tablecloth dishes.
The clock was seven o'clock, and Ren Shaochen had not returned yet, and the dishes on the plate were gradually stopped steaming.
Qu Ruoning called Ren Shaochen, but no one answered several times. She lowered her face and put down her phone and stopped dialing again. She could almost imagine that Ren Shaochen's reason was nothing more than a temporary client, and some cases were not completed.
She lost her appetite when facing a table of dishes that were no longer steaming, and brought the plates into the kitchen and poured them out.
She seemed to be numb and no longer had any expectations for Ren Shaochen. The only thing she left now was probably the persistence of inertia.
Curled on the sofa, pressing the remote control casually, a family dispute case was broadcasting in the news, a husband had an affair and his wife had poisoned him, and the whole family was spared.
Qu Ruoning thought to himself that this woman is so stupid and has the courage to die, so why doesn’t she have the courage to leave that man?
As he thought about it, Qu Ruoning fell asleep in a daze.
I don’t know how long I slept, but my stomach became colic. Qu Ruoning was awakened by the pain, covering her stomach, and the pain made her forehead sweat.
She gradually slid down from the sofa, reached to the phone far away with difficulty, and dialed Ren Shaochen's number, but it was not connected.
It was so late that she didn't want to disturb her family. She forced herself to stand up, took her cell phone and wallet, and went out to call her to the hospital.
At night, the hospital hall was very empty and there was a cold atmosphere. It was clearly summer, Qu Ruoning still couldn't help but tremble.
She covered her stomach and went to the emergency room. She found out that she had acute gastric ulcer and had to give two bottles of drip.
Qu Ruoning was lying on the hospital bed with rich disinfectant, with a colic in her stomach. She was injected with a drip in one hand and a tightly held her cell phone in the other hand. She dialed many times back and forth but failed. She also thought about whether he would go home. She also called the phone number at home several times, but no one answered it.
The pain ended. Qu Ruoning didn't know if she had stomach pain or angina pectoris, and she felt cold all over her body.
After hanging two bottles of salt water, it was already past twelve o'clock.
Her face was still as white as paper. She got up and got out of bed and walked to the bathroom outside.
When passing the single ward next door, Qu Ruoning stopped and saw Ren Shaochen's back through the crack of the thinly opened door, and was stunned.
Qu Ruoning frowned and thought to herself who was sick. Ren Shaochen had just stayed in the hospital for care all night but didn't answer the phone.
After standing quietly outside for a while, Ren Shaochen stood up and walked to pour water. Only then did Qu Ruoning see the face inside. The person lying on the bed was Tang Ling.
Qu Ruoning's heels softened, she fell backwards and was hit by the passing nurse. She woke up from the shock and looked at Tang Ling on the bed in disbelief.
Then, Qu Ruoning didn't know how she left the hospital and returned home staggeringly.
