Rose Manor

Chapter 180 Not My Life
Pei Che rushed to Fuhe Airport and found Zhou Ruo among the people passing by. There was a 26-inch large suitcase standing next to her. It seemed that she did not come to Jiangcheng on an impromptu basis.

Zhou Ruo also saw him, with a look of joy on his face and waved to him.

Pei Che walked against the flow of people and came to her, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He put one hand on his waist and tilted his head slightly. There was a smile on his lips but also helplessness: "Why didn't you tell me in advance before you came over?"

"I told you, will you still let me come over?" Zhou Ruo felt much more comfortable when she saw that he was fine with her own eyes, otherwise she would always be thinking about him and be worried.

Pei Che held the suitcase's handle and dragged it forward. He turned to her and said, "I originally planned to pick you up after the decoration of the house here is completed."

After walking out of the airport, the rolling heat wave poured over her like boiling water. Zhou Ruo pulled open the silk scarf wrapped around her body and exposed her arms. She was wearing a crow-blue dress today. Her figure was delicate and she looked gentle and intellectual.

"Jiangcheng is so hot." Zhou Ruo fanned his face with his hands.

"It's not bad today. It's not like it has ever been hotter before." Pei Che put the suitcase into the trunk of the car, stood up, and sincerely suggested to her, "Why don't I find you a place to escape the heat? You can stay here for two days." In three months, when the house is renovated, I will pick you up again."

Zhou Ruo said harshly: "I'm not afraid of heat. Sweating is good for detoxification."

After sitting in the car, Pei Che turned on the air conditioner. The cold air blew out, dissipating the hot smell and making him feel a little better.

"If you come here now, I can only force you to stay in the hotel." Pei Che explained the current situation to her while reversing the car.

Zhou Ruo didn't express his dislike and was very adaptable: "If you stay in a hotel, just stay in the hotel. It's convenient and saves trouble."

Hearing her determination to stay, Pei Che didn't find any more reasons to persuade her to leave. He drove the car onto the broad avenue and heard her hesitantly ask: "Xiao Nian is still in the hospital?"

She knew that her son stayed in Jiangcheng to take care of Xiaonian, and she had no objection to this.

As long as he was alive, nothing else mattered.

After all, Xiao Nian is also a poor person.Her parents passed away and the Shen family was gone. The Pei family had to bear a lot of responsibility. Now she was seriously injured in a car accident and was lying in the hospital with no relatives around to care about her. She was alone and reasonable, and they should all help her. she.

The main reason is that her son likes Xiao Nian.

After going through some things, she thought about it. As long as her son is healthy and happy, let the past go with the wind and forget all the grudges.

"Yes, I came here from the hospital." Pei Che's mood was a little downcast, and his tone seemed to be sighing, "She found out a few days ago that her parents were no longer alive, and she was not in a good mood."

Zhou Ruo heard something was wrong and was about to ask. What Pei Che said next answered her doubts: "She injured her brain in a car accident and lost part of her memory. She can't remember what happened in the past half a year." .”

"How could this happen?" Zhou Ruo couldn't help taking a breath, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"I didn't want her to get hurt again, so I hid some things from her. I only told her about the death of Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. I didn't tell her the real reason."

Zhou Ruo immediately changed his mind and said to him: "Let's not go back to the hotel now. I'll go to the hospital to see her."

Xiaonian was also a child she watched grow up. She used to treat her as half a daughter. If her husband hadn't been obsessed with her, Pei Chen's family would have been married long ago, and Xiaonian would be her daughter-in-law.

Pei Che told her some things on the way so as not to get in trouble when chatting with Shen Jianian.

Zhou Ruo was silent for a while after listening, and expressed her concerns: "Ache, do you think this kind of thing can really be hidden from her for a lifetime? Have you ever thought about it, if Xiaonian knows the truth in the future, she will Don’t hate you?”

Pei Che tightened his grip on the steering wheel and looked at the traffic ahead, as if saying to himself: "Hate it if you want, I can't control that much."

At least not for now.

The car parked at the hospital and it was lunch time.

Zhou Ruo got out of the car and was immediately surrounded by the steamy heat.

She followed Pei Che to the inpatient department and waited in front of the elevator for a while. The mother and son went in. Someone came in and out along the way. When they reached the top floor, there were only two people left in the car.

Pei Che gave his mother one final warning: "She is seriously injured. Don't react too much, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable."

"I understand." Zhou Ruo gave him a reassuring look.

In the car, she heard her son talk a lot about Xiaonian's injuries in the car accident. She learned that she was disfigured, had multiple fractures and bruises on her body, and had undergone brain surgery.

Standing outside the ward, Zhou Ruo took a deep breath uncontrollably, trying to adjust his emotions.

Pei Che knocked on the door. Before leaving, he told Shen Jianian that he would be back in a while. She probably wasn't sleeping, so he held the doorknob and opened the door, just in time to see Aunt Zheng getting up from the chair with a bow.

"I was just going to open the door for you." Aunt Zheng held a small stainless steel bowl with a soft smile on her face.

She was feeding Shen Jia Nian. She made pumpkin and millet porridge by herself and brought it in an insulated bucket. It was so hot that it didn't feel too hot to eat in an air-conditioned room.

Shen Jianian slowly turned his head, his eyes first falling on Pei Che, and then he found a person following behind him, blocked by his slender body, only showing his thin arms and a piece of cyan skirt.Zhou Ruo walked out from behind Pei Che and saw Shen Jianian for the first time. Even if he was mentally prepared, he would still be frightened.

It's more surprising than scary.

The hospital gown looked a little empty on Xiao Nian. She was half lying on the hospital bed, with a mesh bandage on her head and several pieces of gauze on her face. Almost only her eyes and mouth could be seen, and her lips were abnormal. off-white.One arm and leg were splinted, and there seemed to be fixed plates under the clothes.

Zhou Ruo's tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, her nose was sore and swollen, and her eyes felt warm, as if they had been touched by chili pepper water, and she couldn't help crying due to pain.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Pei Che turned his back to Shen Jianian and kept winking at Zhou Ruo, reaching out to pull her arm. Didn't he tell her on the way here?
"Xiao Nian is fine now, don't worry, she is optimistic and strong." Pei Che turned around and carefully observed Shen Jia Nian's face, but he spoke to his mother.

"Yeah." Zhou Ruo nodded heavily, flattened her mouth, and made a vague response from the bottom of her throat. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, grinned, and smiled unnaturally, "I'm just so happy to see Xiao Nian. I can’t help but be happy…”

She walked to the bedside and spoke with a nasal tone: "Xiao Nian."

Apart from a call full of heartache, Zhou Ruo couldn't say anything else.

Shen Jianian, on the other hand, was calmer than she expected: "Aunt Zhou? Why are you here?"

In Zhou Ruo's memory, the last time they met was in the hospital. She sadly asked Xiao Nian what Pei Che said "before he died".But Xiao Nian couldn't remember it now. Zhou Ruo sat beside the hospital bed, his eyes washed with tears a little hazy: "I heard that A Che said you are in the hospital, I came to see you."

Seeing that they were reminiscing about old times, Aunt Zheng didn't stay in the ward for long. She handed the bowl to Pei Che and went out first.

In the ward, Zhou Ruo held Shen Jianian's hand and glanced at her face and body with loving eyes. If she had any grudges before coming here, after seeing her, there was no knot in her heart at all, only heartache. .

How could such a good girl become like this?

"Mom, Xiaonian wants to eat, please don't disturb her." Pei Che reminded from the side.

Zhou Ruo took the bowl and spoon from Pei Che: "I'll do it."

Shen Jianian pursed her lips, not feeling comfortable with it, and raised her good hand and said, "Actually, I can eat it myself, but Aunt Zheng was worried and insisted on feeding me."

In her opinion, it was okay to put the bowl on the table and drink the porridge with a spoon.

Zhou Ruo scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge, scraped the bottom of the spoon against the mouth of the bowl, and handed it to her lips: "Want Aunt Zheng to feed it, or Aunt Zhou?"

Shen Jia Nian's slightly pursed lips curved slightly: "No."

After saying that, she drank the porridge fed by Zhou Ruo.

Beicheng is not as hot as Jiangcheng. Summer has just entered. However, the temperature is also the highest of the day at noon.

When it was time for lunch, Fu Jichen walked down the steep stone steps. He was the only one among the lush green mountains.

No one would come to climb the stone steps of Tanfuji Temple at noon in summer. Even if the tourists who went up the mountain wanted to go down, they would wait for the sun to tilt a little further to the west.

Fu Jichen's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his black suit was wrapped tightly around his body. As his figure walked away, the temple with red walls and black tiles gradually disappeared into the green mountains and green trees.

With his cold look, he didn't look like he was here to offer incense and worship Buddha piously, but rather like he was here to collect debts.

He was unlucky and failed to find his "creditor". He was told by the novice monk that the abbot was not in the temple. As for when he would come back, the novice monk couldn't tell with his hands clasped together.

Qu Mo was waiting in the car at the foot of the mountain. Today was not a rest day. The boss had finished handling important matters at the company in the morning and left early, asking him to drive to Tanfu Temple.

At around [-]:[-] noon, Qu Mo received a call from Song Fang, asking him where Mr. Chen was. No one answered his call.

"It's probably because the signal on the mountain is not good." Qu Mo didn't hide it and told him the truth, "It's at Tanfu Temple."

Song Fang was silent for a long time, probably because he didn't expect his boss to go there: "When I see Mr. Chen, please ask him to return to the company as soon as possible. Several directors have caused quite a disturbance."

Qu Mo asked more: "What's the trouble?"

"I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Mr. Chen is not the biological son of the late General Manager Fu. The rumors spread like wildfire."

Even when Song Fang said it, he felt that this matter was too ridiculous. Some people believed it to be true and made a big fuss about it, claiming that Chen was not from the Fu family and was not worthy of sitting in that position.

　Fu Da’s life experience is about to be revealed.

　　When Wei Ronghua found out that the son he had worked hard, worked hard, and devoted all his efforts to raise was actually the son of her husband, Bai Yueguang... he was going crazy.
