The sound of "dong dong" footsteps brought Gu Beixian back from his memories.
The nurse who took care of Hua Qinwan came over.
Gu Beixian handed the flower in his hand to her, "Please pass it to Aunt Qinwan."
He would come twice a month. Sometimes he would help Hua Qinwan pay the hospitalization fees, and sometimes he would bring some daily necessities.
The nurse had known him for a long time, took the flower and said with a smile: "Thank you on behalf of the patient, Mr. Gu."
Gu Beixian nodded slightly.
The nurse opened the door and walked in.
The crack in the door widened, and Lu Yanshu could clearly see Hua Qinwan's pale and calm face. Although she was haggard, she could still see her youthful appearance.
He pinched the jewelry box in his trouser pocket.
Because it was rubbed too many times, the corners of the velvet on the jewelry box were worn white and stained with the traces of time.
Inside is a ring he bought many years ago.
He and Hua Qinwan studied painting with famous painters in Kyoto since childhood. She is four years older than him.
He called her senior sister.
Painting classes every weekend are his happiest days because he can see Hua Qinwan.
At that time, she was gentle and graceful, as beautiful as a white gardenia.
When he was seventeen, he bought this ring and mustered up the courage to confess his love to her.
She looked at the ring and smiled elegantly, "You are four years younger than me. You are not an adult yet, and I am already twenty-one years old. When you grow up, you will meet a better girl."
Later she married Chu Yanru.
Later she gave birth to Chu Mochen and then Su Hua.
Later, her one-month-old baby died and she went crazy.
There is no chance to give this ring away again.
Lu Yanshu squeezed the jewelry box in his trouser pocket tightly. The corners of the jewelry box hurt his palms, but it was not worth one ten thousandth of his heartache.
He turned around and walked out.
Gu Beixian walked side by side with him towards the elevator hall.
Standing at the door of the elevator, looking at the constantly changing number keys, Gu Beixian asked in a casual tone: "Have you never met the right one in these years?"
He always felt that it was unrealistic for a man of his background to remain single.
The elders alone cannot pass the test.
Lu Yanshu clenched the jewelry box in his trouser pocket, "It's not like nothing, but the feelings are still a little bit different. After getting together for a while, we broke up. Now that we are over forty, we don't have that kind of character anymore. Now that I have found Xiaohua again, I
Mom has no reason to urge me to get married."
"bite!"
The elevator door opens.
Two people, a man and a woman, came out.
The man is over fifty, wearing dark formal clothes, with gray sideburns, and a serious smile. He is Chu Yanru.
The woman is in her early forties, beautifully dressed and jeweled, she is Hua Qirou.
Lu Yanshu's eyes turned cold and he smiled, the smile was cold, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Yanru's face also became a little ugly, "It's my turn to ask you this, right? In what capacity do you come to visit my ex-wife?"
Lu Yanshu said very calmly: "Friend, do you have any questions?"
Gu Beixian took the initiative to take over, "Aunt Qinwan is my mother's good friend, and she entrusted me to take care of her. Uncle Chu, you should know how much medical expenses you have paid over the years and how many times you have been to the ward, right? You don't care, you still
Are we not allowed to take care of it?"
Three words extinguished Chu Yanru's arrogance.
Over the years, he has only visited Hua Qinwan a handful of times, and he has paid no attention to the medical expenses, leaving them all to his son Chu Mochen.
He is too busy and has too many social activities.
A crazy woman is not worth his time.
Hua Qirou took his arm and urged, "Husband, let's go see my sister quickly."
Chu Yanru patted her hand on his arm and said, "Okay."
Lu Yanshu stepped forward to block the way of the two of them, "Qin Wan doesn't want to see you. You will only make her condition worse."
Hua Qi smiled softly and meaningfully, "Mr. Lu, did you say what you said? I am Hua Qinwan's biological sister, and Yanru is her ex-husband and the person she loves most. Maybe she sees Yanru.
, her illness has improved."
Lu Yanshu's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, and he said distantly: "You know what you have done to Qin Wan, and I advise you to be kind."
Hua Qirou seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "Mr. Lu, is this too much? We are both the kindest people in the world. If we were not kind, we would not come to see Hua Qinwan. After all,
Everyone is so busy.”
She looked Lu Yanshu up and down furtively, "It's you, you've never married, are you waiting for Hua Qinwan?"
Lu Yan's face was expressionless, and his fingers were slightly raised.
If it hadn't been for the long-term good cultivation, I would have slapped him in the face.
Hua Qirou's smile turned frivolous, "I guessed it right."
She turned her head and said to Chu Yanru: "Husband, do you think there are such infatuated people in the world? It's not good for a handsome man to like any kind of woman, but he can't forget about a crazy woman. He has such a strong taste, tsk tsk
."
"Pah!" Lu Yanshu raised his hands and lowered his hands.
A slap hit Hua Qirou's face.
Caught off guard, Hua Qirou was stunned. Half of her face hurt and her ears were buzzing.
She took off her disguise and said angrily: "Lu, why do you hit me?"
Lu Yanshu took the disinfectant wipe from Gu Beixian, wiped his hands slowly, and said calmly: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
"If you can't hold it back, you can hit me if you can't hold it back?" Hua Qirou raised her hands and rushed towards him, wanting to return the slap.
Chu Yanru took her arm and said, "Be careful when you speak next time, and don't say anything you shouldn't."
Hua Qirou was pulled back, but she still wanted to rush forward, "I'm telling the truth!"
"Okay, let's go back and see Qin Wan another day." Chu Yanru pulled her and started to leave.
But Hua Qirou refused to leave, "I'm here now, but I have to see people before I leave."
Gu Beixian raised his eyes and looked at the nurse standing next to him, "These two people are prohibited from visiting Aunt Qinwan in the future."
The nurse was embarrassed, "One of them is the patient's biological sister, and the other is the patient's ex-husband. According to the hospital's regulations, they can visit."
Gu Beixian's tone was slightly cold, "Over the years, I have donated medical equipment to your hospital a lot. If you can't do this, then I have to think carefully about whether to donate again next year."
Hearing this, the nurse hurriedly said: "I understand, Mr. Gu."
She turned to look at Chu Yanru and Hua Qirou, "Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, look..."
Not to be outdone, Chu Yanru said, "I will donate the medical equipment for next year."
When he heard that Chu Yanru was about to bleed, it was because of Hua Qinwan and Hua Qi that he was so gentle that he held his hand and said angrily: "Husband, let's go. If you don't let me, I won't look."
Anyway, it’s not that we have no conscience, it’s that some people have bad intentions and don’t let us see it.”
The elevator door opens again.
She took Chu Yanru's arm and walked in.
Looking at the closing elevator door, Lu Yanshu shook his head very softly, "Back then, Qin Wan thought that I was four years younger than her and not mature enough, so she chose Chu Yanru, who was five years older than her. She was such a smart person, but she didn't know,
Whether a man is responsible or not has nothing to do with his age, it is determined by his character."
Gu Beixian felt deeply, "Yes, it's a human or a dog. You can only tell if you are in trouble."
He was referring to Chu Suosuo.
When he was going well, Chu Suosuo was so kind to him.
When she heard that his legs would never stand up again, she ran faster than a rabbit.
Seeing that his leg was healed, he came back to get back together and did all kinds of slutty things, which made him and Su Hua sick.
The two took the elevator and left.
When parting.
Lu Yanshu warned again: "Don't tell Xiaohua that Qin Wan is her mother. She is young and energetic, and she is a sweet-tempered person. Once she finds out, she will definitely come over and recognize Qin Wan. Before the murderer was caught, she
My daughter is the safest."
Gu Beixian hummed, "I sent someone to investigate the case back then."
Lu Yanshu stopped him and said, "Don't take action. There are many pairs of eyes staring at you. Once you take action, people will be suspicious of you. Gu Jinyao and I will cooperate with the police in the secret investigation."
Gu Beixian thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
The two of them got into the car separately.
Back to the rising phoenix and the roaring tide.
Su Hua is painting a painting in the attic studio.
There is a full-length mirror standing next to it.
She painted in front of the mirror, and what she painted was her self-portrait.
The face is finished and the body is half done.
"Why did you suddenly draw a self-portrait?" Gu Beixian walked up behind her, stretched out his arms and hugged her slowly. He could feel the graceful curves of her body through her clothes.
Su Hua tilted her head slightly and smiled at him, "My father said that my mother and I look alike, so I wanted to draw my mother."
Seeing how much she missed her mother, Gu Beixian's heart felt a little rippled.
Her mother is in this city, but she cannot recognize her.
It’s okay not to recognize each other.
After they recognized each other, she would be even more sad when she saw Hua Qinwan's appearance.
Gu Beixian held her slender waist, pulled her over, stared at her for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and gently bit the tip of her nose.
When I saw her for the first time when I was little, I wanted to take a bite when I saw her pink nose.
Unexpectedly, after going round and round, she returned to him again.
Su Hua was bitten by him, so she raised her hand and pushed him away gently, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you today?"
Gu Beixian pressed her thin back, pushed her into his arms, and said, "Su Hua, we will never be separated again."
Su Hua was amused by his rambling words, "We were never separated in the first place."
"Yes." His voice was low: "Su Hua, I love you."
More love than she imagined.
That love was very deep and spanned more than twenty years.
