obsessed with love

Chapter 228 Arrangements Already Made
Seeing that Qiao Anming didn't make a decisive rebuttal, Ren Peiyin slowed down a bit: "An Ming, why are you so confused about this matter? Since the two of you are no longer possible, the child will definitely come back, this girl is still young , she will have to marry sooner or later, if she marries, will she let her child take someone else's surname?"

It really hit the nail on the head, and this is also Qiao Anming's most painful scar.

Du Ruo had already told him personally that she was going to marry Mo Youting at the end of the year, so once they got married, the child's surname would be Mo.

no!How could his flesh and blood recognize someone else as his father, Qiao An Ming just thought about it and felt heartbroken.

"I know, I know it well, I already have arrangements!"

"How do you arrange it? In my opinion, just go and bring the child back, so as not to suffer with that woman. Anyway, the current formula milk powder can raise the child white and fat, and find two nannies to take care of it..."

The old lady couldn't wait any longer.

Qiao Anming hesitated: "Let's wait for a while. The child is still young, so it's better to follow mother!"

"What are you waiting for? I can't wait any longer. If you can't bear the shame to have a child, I'll go!" The old lady wished she could rush to Tongcheng now.

Qiao Anming stopped: "I have my own arrangements for the child's affairs, don't interfere! Also, Gu Lan probably doesn't know yet, things have been chaotic enough recently, try to hide it for a while!"

But how could Gu Lan not know?
She knew about it earlier than Ren Pain.

Sister Mei immediately announced the news of Du Ruo's birth in the company, and it soon reached Jiang Lei's ears.

Now that Jiang Lei knows, it means that Gu Lan also knows.

Zheng Xiaoran was on a business trip for a few days, and returned to Yi County after the project was over. He took the long-distance bus at night and arrived home at almost ten o'clock at night.

Just as she packed her luggage and was about to take a shower, she suddenly received a call from Mo Youting.

"Xiao Ran, where are you?"

"Mo Youting?" Zheng Xiaoran was surprised, why did this guy call her so late?
"Where?"

"At home, what's the matter?"

"Give me your home address!"

"..." Zheng Xiaoran realized that the guy's voice was not right, it was vague, and his tongue was a little knotted.

"Have you been drinking? Mo Youting, you have been drinking, right?"

"I'll just ask you, give me your home address!" He persisted, without saying anything, but kept asking for Zheng Xiaoran's address.

Zheng Xiaoran was also angry: "What do you want my address for? Did you come to Yi County to look for me in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, don't you believe me, I'm in Yixian County, the town, the station..."

Maybe everyone has a dead spot.

The girl Zheng Xiaoran usually yelled and yelled, but she was still soft-hearted towards Mo Youting. After hanging up the phone, she wrapped her coat and scarf and rushed out.

The cold wind was blowing, and it took Zheng Xiaoran half an hour to find Mo Youting at the small restaurant at the town station.

It was the light well in the early morning of the night. The light in the small and dark restaurant was dim, but the business was good. Several tables of guests dressed as migrant workers gathered around to eat in the open stove. The heat was so hot that the rising heat blurred Zheng Xiaoran's glasses. up.

The tables and chairs in the store were crowded, and Zheng Xiaoran found Mo Youting in the corner near the kitchen after going around a circle.

He was lying on the greasy table, and the dishes on the table in front of him didn't seem to have touched his chopsticks, and they were all cold.

But the bottle at hand was empty.

Zheng Xiaoran picked up the empty wine bottle and took a look, feeling angry and distressed!
"Hey, Mo Youting!" She pushed his shoulder unceremoniously, and after several pushes, the people on the table started to move.

"...Zheng Xiaoran, Xiaoran...why are you here?" She still couldn't straighten her tongue and looked drunk.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm hungry, let's eat something!"

"Damn!" Zheng Xiaoran was very angry, "I'm not asking why you're in this restaurant, I'm asking, why are you in Yixian County!"

"Come to drink..." Mo Youting answered nonsense again, but after the answer, he managed to hold his head up on the table, and Zheng Xiaoran saw his face clearly. There was an unnatural redness in the white, bloodshot eyes, and chin. Beard, as if he had traveled a long way to settle here, like a refugee!
Zheng Xiaoran took a breath, feeling sore in his heart.

She didn't believe that he came to drink.

"Are you here to find Du Ruo?" Zheng Xiaoran asked directly without going around in circles.

Mo Youting pretended to be stupid, drank the little wine left in the glass, and frowned heavily, but his face looked relaxed.

"This wine is so good, it's like burning a knife, it's warm in your stomach after you take a sip."

"Fart! This wine is only a few yuan a bottle, I think your servants think it's bad for cooking with it!" Zheng Xiaoran was so angry that he grabbed the cup in his hand, Mo Youting protected him.

"Cheap is cheap, but it's easy to get drunk after drinking."

"You came all the way to Yi County to get drunk? Mo Youting, can you stop making trouble? Go back to me!"

"No, where is Du Ruo?"

Just know!
I knew he wasn't here to drink, let alone to see her.

He came to find Du Ruo!
Came here by car in the middle of the night, and hid alone in this cramped and greasy little shop to drink a bottle of Shaodao that cost a few dollars a bottle.

"How touching? The prodigal son with emotional intelligence, got drunk and went crazy for a woman, but Du Ruo can't see her, she's not in Yi County!"

"Impossible, she has a big belly and has no other friends. If she leaves Tongcheng, she will only come to you!"

"No, Mo Youting, believe it or not!"

"You can believe me. Take me to where you live. I'll look around. If she's really not there, I'll go back!" Young Master Mo was drunk and only knew that he wanted to find Du Ruo, regardless of Zheng Xiaoran's feelings. Blindly force.

Zheng Xiaoran exhaled heavily, because the moisture in his eyes was getting thicker and thicker.

"Why should I take you to where I live? Who are you to me? If you really want to see Du Ruo, you can contact her yourself, call her, send her a text message, or..."

"I did everything, I did everything I needed to do, text messages, phone calls, and even waited for many days at the door of her house in Tongcheng, but it was useless, and I couldn't see anyone! I knew she must not be in Tongcheng anymore, she said I'm leaving, but how could she be like this... without even saying goodbye!"

Mo Youting's voice gradually became louder, excited and anxious.

Those eyes.

How did Zheng Xiaoran describe this man's eyes before?
"It seems that he doesn't care about anything, and nothing can enter his eyes..."

But now?
In this small small restaurant, Mo Youting's beautiful eyes were burnt red by a bottle of low-quality white wine, Zheng Xiaoran saw obsession and affection in those red eyes.

"Zheng Xiaoran, you lied to me!"

"You must have lied to me...Du Ruo must be with you..."

"Why does she avoid me? If she really doesn't want to marry, I don't have to. I can wait for her...Really, she doesn't need to come to Yi County alone with a big belly..."

"I don't know the place of life, Xiao Ran, she is about to give birth... so hard, I just don't want her to work so hard..."

Mo Youting's tall body was supported by Zheng Xiaoran on his shoulders, she walked with difficulty and listened to his drunken talk.

On the small town street in the middle of the night, there are golden leaves and two shaky figures.

"Have you proposed to her?"

"..."

"She didn't agree, right? She won't agree. With such a tough temper, how could she marry you while pregnant with Qiao Anming's child..."

The man on the shoulder didn't make a sound, just swayed his footsteps a little bit, half drunk and half awake, his breath was steaming.

"Headache..." After waiting for a long time, Zheng Xiaoran finally waited for his words.

Zheng Xiaoran stopped in his tracks, tried his best to support Mo Youting's body that was about to tilt, and untied the scarf around his neck to cover Mo Youting's face.

"I'll put it on for you. It's no wonder you don't get a headache when the wind blows after drinking such fierce baijiu!"

She smiled, laughing at Mo Youting's embarrassment in a women's scarf, but when she lowered her head, tears fell.

Why is he having a headache?
The whole world is hurting...

In the morning, Du Ruo accompanied the baby to the balcony on the south side of the inpatient building to bask in the sun for more than half an hour. When she returned to the ward, she saw Aunt Ding sorting out gifts.

But apart from Zheng Xiaoran, Du Ruo doesn't have many friends in Tongcheng.

The presents were all given by colleagues, from colleagues in the city to high-level executives of the base, Bobo came to visit her in the hospital, even Gu Zhizhi, who hated her the most, came here.

In Sister Mei's words: "You are relying on the boss's blessing. These people are afraid that you will be expensive if you are a real mother, so you should try to curry favor beforehand!"

Is mother more expensive than child?

Then she really wants to let these people waste money.

"Miss Du, what are you laughing at?" Aunt Ding heard the cold laughter behind her, and turned her head to see Du Ruo standing at the door holding the baby.

She was called Mrs. Du Ruo before, but Du Ruo changed her name, and now she calls her Miss Du according to Du Ruo's meaning.

"It's nothing to laugh at. You can take care of things. The baby is asleep." Du Ruo put the baby back in the cradle with a smile on her face. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a dark green brocade box in Auntie Ding's hand.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

"I don't know, someone just sent it."

Aunt Ding pointed to the fruit basket and the high-end mother and baby gift box at her feet, "Here...these are also sent by the man just now. They look quite young, but he said it was your boss. Seeing that you were not in the room, he put the things away Get off and go."

Without thinking too much, Du Ruo took the brocade box from Aunt Ding.

The box was a little heavy in the hand, and when it was opened, there was a safety buckle lying on the blue silk surface.

The safety buckle is tied with a half-worn red string. The jade is clear and pure, with glass luster, and the whole body is uniform emerald green.

Du Ruo has done some research on jadeite. A customer used to like these things. In order to please him, she studied in an antique shop for a while.

"Your boss is really generous, this jade ring looks like a good thing!" Aunt Ding praised in admiration.

Du Ruo's heart sank suddenly, and he brought the safety buckle to his eyes. The light came through from behind, and the safety buckle was transparent.

This is the best old pit glass jadeite!
"Mr. Jiang, thank you for coming to see me. I'll accept the fruit and the gift box, but the security buckle is too expensive. Please come and take it back!" Du Ruo called Jiang Lei directly.

Jiang Lei was driving to the company: "You're welcome, yes, I should have met you face to face, but the company has something to do, so I can only go back first."

"I know, I am already very grateful for your courtesy, but I really can't accept the Ping An deduction."

"I didn't give you the safety buckle. If you really want to return it, return it to its owner yourself."

"Master?" An ominous premonition flashed in Du Ruo's heart, and his breathing became unsteady: "Ping An buckle, who gave it to you?"

"..." Jiang Lei said nothing.

Du Ruo took a deep breath: "Gu Lan sent it, right?"

"She said it was a meeting gift for the child. It wasn't expensive, but it was thoughtful. The safety buckle was given to her by Gu Lan's father. She has been wearing it since her father passed away. It is her father's relic and never left her body..."

Du Ruo didn't know how he hung up the phone, he just felt the fear attacking him inch by inch, his fingers began to tremble, and finally he couldn't even speak coherently.

"Aunt Ding... I'm going to be discharged from the hospital... You can help me pack my things now, I'll go to the doctor... I'm going to be discharged from the hospital!!"

Zhou Lang is attending an academic summit, and he must turn off his mobile phone before entering.

Du Ruo called him, but he didn't answer!
Distraught, she planned to go directly to the dean, but received a call from an unfamiliar number on the way.

"Hello... Du Ruo? I'm Gu Lan..."

On a sunny morning, before Christmas, Du Ruo was standing in the lobby of the hospital office building, and suddenly fell into the ice cellar.

The two made an appointment to meet in the canteen of the hospital.

When Du Ruo walked over, he comforted himself all the way.

She, Gu Lan, can't eat people!What can Gu Lan do to her?
But even so, Du Ruo still felt weak on the soles of his feet, and cold sweat kept coming out of his back.

The canteens of private hospitals are not big, but the environment is good, and the style is close to Hong Kong-style tea restaurants.

Because it was not time for meal, there were almost no people in the cafeteria, so Du Ruo walked in and saw Gu Lan at a glance.

She was sitting by the window, habitually tilting her head to one side, resting her chin with her hands, with a peaceful expression.

But despite this, Du Ruo was still feeling guilty and chills, and his hands were covered with sticky cold sweat.

Perhaps the "vixen" panicked in his bones when facing the main room, like an instinctive reaction.

Do you want to give Qiao Anming a call?
Did Qiao An know that Gu Lan came to Tongcheng?
What is she here for?What else should she come to Tongcheng to discuss in person?

One question after another flashed through my mind, causing Du Ruo to stand at the door of the cafeteria and hesitate for a long time before going in.

Halfway there, Gu Lan saw Du Ruo. She slowly stood up from her seat and waved to Du Ruo.

"Here!" she shouted, her voice clear and proud.

Du Ruo lowered his head, put his hands into his coat pockets, and kept cheering himself up.

Don't be afraid, hold your head up, chest out...

But when he walked in front of Gu Lan, Du Ruo still couldn't say a word, as if his voice was severely blocked, even Du Ruo admired Gu Lan a little, this woman came to her again and again, and she could do it every time to be so calm.

How on earth did she do it?
Seeing the uncomfortable expression on Du Ruo's face, Gu Lan looked relaxed, so he greeted first: "Long time no see!"

The old-fashioned opening remarks, Gu Lan said it calmly.

"Yes, long time no see, Miss Gu..." Du Ruo smiled and called her "Miss Gu".

Gu Lan seemed to snort lightly, and said coldly: "It's better to call me Mrs. Qiao, which is more appropriate. What do you think, Miss Du?"

How exasperating!
Du Ruo's hands were clenched tightly in his pockets, twisted, and some pain emerged.

"Okay, Mrs. Qiao, may I ask why you came to see me?" Although he was flustered and hurt, Du Ruo felt that his posture must be good-looking.

This is a contest between women.

Gu Lan came prepared, and there was just the right amount of gentleness in her arrogant and cold expression: "Miss Du, please sit down first, what we are going to talk about in a while may take some time, you see you just gave birth, and your expression It’s so ugly, if you stand for a long time, I’m afraid your back will hurt in the future.”

How considerate, it seems that it is all for Du Ruo's sake.

This Mrs. Joe is really knowledgeable!

Du Ruo snorted coldly in her heart, and sat down on the chair opposite her without being polite.

There was a faint smile on Gu Lan's face all the time: "Miss Du, it's been a few months since I last saw you. You were so thin back then, why are you even thinner now? Not good, although I haven't given birth to a child, I know The mother is too thin, and the milk is not nutritious."

"..."

"You are the first child, and you have to take good care of your body. How is the baby? Are the conditions and food in the hospital good? If not, I will arrange for someone to give you another place for confinement. Are confinement clubs not popular now? An Ming has a friend who runs them In this kind of place, I can help you ask..."

"No need, thank you for your concern!" Du Ruo couldn't figure out the purpose of her trip, but felt that the other party's words made her feel uncomfortable, pantothenic, and blocked.

Gu Lan didn't mind Du Ruo's indifferent attitude at all, she took off her coat on her own, revealing a light purple thin woolen skirt underneath, with black and gold beads on the neckline and cuffs, the overall design sense is very good, it is a luxury brand. The main style of autumn and winter.

Gu Lan really came prepared, she seldom wears such grand and gorgeous clothes, and even specially put on makeup to match this dress.

It's a pity that because the skin is too dry, the foundation does not stick to makeup, but fortunately, I put on blush, which finally makes my complexion much better than usual.

"The heating in this cafeteria is too high, it's a bit stuffy." Gu Lan fanned a little wind in front of him with his hands, and the black and gold beads on the cuffs were bling bling under the light.

Du Ruo became more and more irritable when she slapped her: "Mrs. Qiao, tell me something! I don't have time to spend here with you."

"I know, you're a mother now, and it's hard work to take care of the children, but I heard that An Ming found a confinement wife for you..." Gu Lan still spoke in a very gentle tone.

Du Ruo is really not her opponent, this woman always has the ability to say a very ordinary sentence to the bone.

"Mrs. Qiao, what's the matter with you coming all the way?"

"What's the matter? You should know, have you met An Ming during this time?"

Du Ruo considered the meaning of her words for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"I have seen."

"So, Miss Du, you broke your promise." Gu Lan smiled, unhurriedly, and took a sip of water from the cup in hand, "A few months ago, you promised me that you would never see An Ming again, and you were announcing In that small noodle shop in the city, don’t you remember?”

"Remember, I just met up with Qiao Anming to make things clear."

"Don't make excuses, okay? I'll see you soon, and I won't do anything to you! He should have come to Tongcheng to look for you a few days ago. I don't know what you talked about. He fell ill after he went back. "

Is he sick?

Du Ruo's heart tightened, but his face was still cold: "He's sick, so what?"

"Well, he's sick, so let me talk to you."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about the child!" Gu Lan was straightforward, and the conversation suddenly turned to the child.

Du Ruo's heart began to beat. The visitor was not friendly. She had already sensed the smell, but she still pretended to be calm: "I don't think I have anything to discuss with the Qiao family. I have already explained the child's problem clearly to Qiao Anming. The child is mine and has nothing to do with the Qiao family."

"Did he agree?"

"Answering or not is his business. Anyway, I only have one sentence about the child - I will not give the child to anyone, I am his mother!" Du Ruo's voice was high-pitched, but he was clearly panicked. He stood up and looked aggressively. Looking at Gu Lan's face.

"Don't try to hit the kids, Gu Lan, I admit that I shouldn't get involved in your marriage with Qiao Anming, but I have withdrawn and never tried to take anything away from you, so you'd better not try to take my things away, The child is my life!"

Du Ruo said with anxious eyes and chills.

Gu Lan really likes Du Ruo's current appearance so much, anxious, afraid, and panicked.

No matter how she looks at it, she feels comfortable in her heart!

"I know what a child means to you, but sooner or later the child will have the surname Joe. You should know that according to An Ming's personality, he will never let the child follow you. Besides, what can you give the baby? You are unemployed now, no Any income, divorced, illegitimate children, and a younger brother who is hospitalized and taking medicine all the year round, or just to start with the simplest, you don’t even have the ability to register your child..."

Kill the three-pointer!
Gu Lan knew all the pain points of Du Ruo, took aim, and hit it with one shot.

Du Ruo's complexion was already very ugly, his lips and teeth were trembling, and there were sparks in his eyes: "These are not things you should worry about, I advise you Qiao family to take it easy! I'm leaving, don't bother me and the children again, I won't do it next time." See you again!"

After Du Ruo finished speaking, he turned around quickly and walked too fast, accidentally knocking down the stool in the aisle.

The place where the knee was hit was very painful, like a heart attack.

Gu Lan sat on the seat, watching Du Ruo's back hurriedly walking out, feeling relieved.

"Miss Du, the child will not have a good life with you, Heihu, without a father, do you have the heart to let him suffer with you? I will give you a month to think about it yourself. After you give birth, I will Will come to you again!"

Gu Lan's shout sounded from behind, the cafeteria was spacious and warm, and there was an echo...

Du Ruo began to trot, obstinately forgetting Gu Lan's voice, and ran all the way from the cafeteria through the shade of the trees, and then through the shade of the trees through the corridor...

She must run, as far as possible.

Mo Youting was pestering the little nurse at the reception desk to find out Du Ruo's ward number when he caught sight of a slender figure running past him from the corner of his eye.

Du Ruo?like…

"Hey..." Mo Youting chased after him, caught up with him in three or two steps, stretched out his hand and pulled the person in front of him, "Du Ruo, what are you running for?"

Du Ruo turned around, out of breath, with a pair of frightened eyes on his pale face.

"Mo Youting...Are you really willing to marry me and be the father of the baby?...If you have a marriage certificate, will the baby be able to register?..."

Many impulsive decisions germinate in desperate situations where there is no way forward.

For a long time afterwards, Du Ruo especially pursued and hated him.

If you ask her what is the thing she regrets the most in her life?
She would say: "One, meet Qiao Anming, two, marry Mo Youting..."

It's a pity that she didn't know at that time, her mind was full of Gu Lan's words, her illegitimate child, household registration, father...
