When Zhao Ruoxuan saw that I was stunned, she stretched out her left arm with a smile, took my right arm in a natural manner, and said to me:
"Hurry up and say hello to Sister Huang. Sister Huang is amazing. Her husband is the director of our school. We have relatives and friends whose children want to go to art school. It's just a word from Sister Huang."
I hurriedly responded by saying hello to Sister Huang, and I thought highly of Zhao Ruoxuan. Not only was she good-looking, she also had a very high IQ.
Zhao Ruoxuan's rhetoric was very artistic. She first expressed her "dear relationship" with me, and then hinted at Sister Huang in a subtle way, letting the other party know that she, Zhao Ruoxuan, knew that Sister Huang had her husband's family background.
Moreover, the following words did not embarrass Sister Huang, and the words showed praise for Sister Huang.
Sister Huang took a look at Zhao Ruoxuan's arm. She quickly regained her composure and said to Zhao Ruoxuan with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, your boyfriend is so handsome. If you have a chance, the young couple will come to my house."
Zhao Ruoxuan smiled and said yes. She looked at me lovingly, which made me feel a little dazed, thinking that this girl's acting skills are comparable to those of movie queens!
Even I felt that he was Zhao Ruoxuan's boyfriend at that moment.
Later, Sister Huang excused herself and took her son away first. Zhao Ruoxuan took my arm and took Sister Huang out of the piano store. She didn't let go of her hand until Sister Huang drove away.
"No need to thank me!"
Before I could say anything, Zhao Ruoxuan stopped her fake happy smile and said to me: "If I don't help you today, no one will help me if I encounter this kind of harassment in the future."
"Don't worry, Sister Huang is a smart businessman. She will not come to you again." Zhao Ruoxuan met my eyes and said calmly: "You have to learn to refuse, learn to refuse from the beginning."
After saying that, Zhao Ruoxuan turned around and walked towards Qin.
I quickly followed her and said thank you behind her.
Back at the music store, Ding Qian told me that Zhao Ruoxuan had misunderstood. It was not that he was unwilling to help me, but that he felt that he needed to be more tactful in dealing with customers so as not to offend them as much as possible.
He also said that if there was a next time, he, Ding Qian, would definitely stand up for me. In order to make me believe it, Boss Ding slapped his chest loudly, and he looked completely different from when he persuaded me to settle the matter outside the bathroom.
I said I understood, but I still had a grudge in my heart. For the first time, I felt that Ding Qian was not very reliable.
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhao Ruoxuan finished her piano lessons and just walked out of the piano room carrying a beautiful white women's bag when her cell phone rang.
I saw at the front desk that Zhao Ruoxuan answered the phone and said a few words casually. When she hung up the phone, a well-dressed man in a suit appeared at the door of the piano store.
From where I was, I could only see the man's side face. I saw him greet Zhao Ruoxuan who was going out, and then the two of them got into a black car parked outside.
I wanted to go and see who the man was out of curiosity, but then my mother-in-law called me and said that she had found the best surgeon in the city for my sister, and now my sister has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the hospital.
Surgical ward.
The promise my mother-in-law made to me in her study room has been fulfilled. This made me extremely grateful and I immediately thanked my mother-in-law profusely.
Guo Lanzhi said that we were all a family and asked me not to be so polite. Before hanging up, Guo Lanzhi said that if she really wanted me to thank her, I would give her a grandson as soon as possible.
This makes me miserable. Han Xiaoyue and I have a fake marriage and have never slept together. The matter of having children can only disappoint Guo Lanzhi.
By the time I answered the phone, the black car Zhao Ruoxuan was riding in had already disappeared.
I packed up the music classroom, said hello to Ding Qian, got off work, and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.
What surprised me a little was that the female nurse in the single room said that it was specially arranged by the mother-in-law. The relatively quiet hospital environment would help my sister recover as soon as possible.
I was moved again, so I left the ward and went to the end of the corridor. I called Han Xiaoyue and asked her about her appointment with a cancer specialist in the provincial capital.
Han Xiaoyue said that the talks were going well, and now she only needs to convince her mother to agree to the operation, and she can go to the provincial capital for treatment at any time.
However, what makes Han Xiaoyue feel troublesome is that she doesn't know how to tell her mother. If she is not careful, her mother will go berserk.
Han Xiaoyue said: "On the wedding night, I wanted my mother to go to the provincial hospital for a re-examination, but she said she was not sick and in no pain and did not want to have another examination."
"In desperation, I threatened my mother, saying that if she didn't re-examine, I would divorce you." Han Xiaoyue said: "Who knew, my mother said that I was getting divorced just after I got married. How could I treat marriage like a child's play and get so angry?
Slap me."
I see!
I learned the reason why my mother-in-law beat Han Xiaoyue, and it turned out that it was really because of me. If Han Xiaoyue had not told me to divorce me at that time, I guess my mother-in-law would not have been so angry that she beat her.
"But, you seemed so anxious at that time and insisted on asking your mother-in-law to go for a re-examination. Didn't you make her suspicious?" I asked.
Han Xiaoyue said that it must have aroused her mother's suspicion. Her mother-in-law went to the hospital for a physical examination the next day. Fortunately, Han Xiaoyue was prepared and asked the hospital to prevaricate her, so her mother-in-law didn't worry about it anymore.
Han Xiaoyue also said that she didn't even tell Han Xinrui that her mother-in-law had lung cancer because she was worried that Han Xinrui would leak it when she got sick.
"I don't want to hide it from my mother, but you also know that some terminally ill patients immediately feel heartbroken once they know they have the disease. I'm just afraid that my mother won't be able to hold on."
Han Xiaoyue sighed heavily on the phone: "Oh, so I can only hide it. I must persuade her to come to the provincial hospital as soon as possible. When there is no other way, I can only use drugs to knock her out and force my mother to go to the hospital."
Here comes the surgery."
I answered, "Otherwise, after you come back, we can think about it carefully. If the mother-in-law can actively cooperate with the treatment, that would be the best choice."
Han Xiaoyue said that she would stay in the provincial capital tonight and come back tomorrow, and asked me if there was anything else.
I said it was okay, told her not to think too much and go to bed early, and then hung up the phone.
I didn't mention how good she and my mother-in-law were to my sister. I really couldn't express these touching words on the phone. I'm not the kind of person who is good at expressing my feelings.
Since my parents passed away, I have been running around for a living for so many years, and I have long lost my true childhood.
When other children act like spoiled children in their parents' arms, I have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family. After putting my sister to sleep every night, I have to go to the streets to pick up garbage until midnight.
Day after day, year after year.
When I was in junior high school, in addition to picking up trash, I had to work as a busboy in a restaurant on weekends and holidays in order to pay for my sister's and my school fees.
I was lively and outgoing when my parents were alive, but the poverty and hardship of life sharply polished my temperament. I learned to deal with many things by myself and seldom confided my true feelings to others.
My survival trajectory for so many years is exactly what I said: I can't change the environment, so I let the environment change me!
"If I hadn't met you, where would I be and how would my life be..."
Just as I was standing at the end of the corridor, feeling emotional about the past, someone passed by behind me.
There was sweet music coming from this person's cell phone, which made my heart surge. I immediately thought of Han Xiaoyue, who had just spoken to me.
If I had not met Han Xiaoyue, I really can't imagine what would have happened. It is very likely that my sister died in the hospital bed because she had no money for timely treatment.
If I lose my sister, how can I live with dignity?
In other words, Han Xiaoyue saved my sister, which is equivalent to saving me!
Thinking of this, I blamed myself so much that I slapped my face. I blamed myself for not caring about Han Xiaoyue. Even as an agreement husband, I should drive away those people who covet her body.
For example, take photographer Li Wenzhe!
I hurriedly called Han Xinrui and wanted to know about Li Wenzhe as soon as possible. I didn't want to delay any longer, lest I have long nights and dreams.
