Chapter 20 Happy New Year, Shi Mochi
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Shi Mochi received a call from an unknown number on his personal cell phone.

Shi Tuojin's recuperation was proper, the treatment plan was reasonable, and the latest examination results were unexpectedly good, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.To celebrate, the family plans to go to a hot spring resort in the outer suburbs for the New Year.

When Mo Chi was in the yard asking someone to move a load of luggage to the car, Jiang Qiaoan answered the phone for him.

"Mr. Shi, hello, I'm head nurse Xu from the rehabilitation center. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Would you like to take Ms. Yang back for the holidays?"

"Hello, he is busy outside, what kind of rehabilitation center is this?"

"Mental Illness Rehabilitation Center."

Hearing the words "mental illness", Jiang Qiaoan was very surprised, but his voice was still faint: "I can't decide this, you can call him in the afternoon and ask him himself."

After the reconciliation, the word "Yang Ruiqi" never appeared in the conversation between Shi Mochi and Jiang Qiaoan.No matter how sensational it is, the news is time-sensitive, but within a week, there are new incidents that cover up the reports that a well-known designer plagiarized a friend's work, ruined a friend's marriage, and indirectly caused his death.

This incident caused an uproar in the industry, and Yang Ruiqi became a disgrace to the domestic jewelry design industry. After verification, the organizing committee of the international competition canceled her award, but did not forward it to Shi Yujie.

Jiang Qiaoan didn't mind such a result. She thought that her father's cheating had already made this design a great irony, and her mother would not be willing to accept this shameful honor.

When drinking tea with Lan Yi on weekends, Jiang Qiaoan heard her talking about Yang Ruiqi's recent situation. It is said that some reporters found her address and kept asking for interviews. More than one person called and sent emails to threaten and abuse her. The mental state is very bad.The three members of Yang Ruifeng's family decided to take advantage of the long Spring Festival holiday to hide out of the limelight because they were humiliated and disturbed. However, Yang Ruiqi's leg injury was not healed and they couldn't go with them. Before the Yang family left, they asked Lan Yi to take care of her for a while.

"My parents didn't want me to contact her again. I didn't want to go at first, but I couldn't bear it anymore and went to see her. She was divorced and ruined. Now she is... really pitiful."

"Yang Ruiqi fell into this situation, even if she didn't deserve what she deserved, it was entirely caused by her own hands. My mother did nothing wrong, but she was betrayed by her relatives and loved ones at the same time, and she passed away at the age of 24. Compared with her, Yang Ruiqi is really much happier. I don't want to mention this person again, seeing such a beautiful scenery, let's talk about something worthwhile."

Lan Yi apologized and quickly changed to another topic.

That conversation was the last time Jiang Qiaoan heard Yang Ruiqi's name before receiving this call.

Putting down the phone, Jiang Qiaoan felt a little unhappy. Since the rehabilitation center would call Shi Mochi, it was naturally because he still had contact with Yang Ruiqi.But even though he is not happy, Jiang Qiaoan understands that it is reasonable for Shi Mochi to take care of her future life. Even if Yang Ruiqi has made a big mistake, the relationship of 20 years together cannot just break up.

After lunch, Jiang Qiaoan changed into his overcoat, and went to the rehabilitation center where Yang Ruiqi was located on the pretext of shopping.

The environment of the rehabilitation center is extremely quiet. As soon as you step into the building, you will be greeted by a warm and fragrant atmosphere. The nurse who leads the way whispers softly. This place is far from the cold mental hospital imagined by Jiang Qiaoan. You can tell at a glance that the cost is high Fei, it was inevitable that some grievances would arise in her heart.

"It's here, um... Ms. Yang suffers from a very serious social phobia, she is very afraid of meeting strangers. Although Mrs. Shi and her are old acquaintances, she has other symptoms now. She is sober and confused every moment. , I may not recognize you at this time, meeting alone may irritate the patient, it is better to let the doctor follow."

"No, I want to see her alone." Jiang Qiaoan rejected the nurse's suggestion, and smiled at the doctor beside him, "It's just a chat, it shouldn't irritate her, right?"

The doctor smiled apologetically: "That's natural. Our garden here was renovated thanks to Mr. Shi's sponsorship. The renderings have been released. Mr. Shi is too busy to look at it. Would you like to have a look? The construction will start soon .”

The smile on Jiang Qiaoan's face disappeared instantly: "Really, does Shi Mochi come here often? Is Yang Ruiqi afraid when seeing him?"

"Mr. Shi never came to see her once. He only invited the dean and some of our doctors and nurses who took care of Ms. Yang to have a meal outside."

Jiang Qiaoan gave a "hmm", and when the nurse took the key to open the door, he walked in alone.

The place where Yang Ruiqi lives is no different from an ordinary one-bedroom apartment. It is very plainly furnished, without too many decorations, and there are no glass products or other hard objects. There is only a pot of calendula in front of the window sill.The calendula was urged by the indoor heating, and it bloomed very well.

Hearing the noise outside, Yang Ruiqi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, immediately shrank to the corner of the bed, grabbed the quilt at hand and covered her head, and said repeatedly in a resisting and anxious voice: "Don't shoot me again, don't ask me again. ,I have no idea!"

Jiang Qiaoan didn't move or make a sound, waiting patiently for her to calm down.

After a while, Yang Ruiqi slowly exposed her head, looked at Jiang Qiaoan vigilantly, at first she was confused and then angrily threw the quilt aside: "Shi Yujie! You finally came to see me! You go and explain to them that I didn't rob you of your husband! Jiang Zhen was originally the boyfriend my brother wanted to introduce to me! You go and tell them! It was you who shamelessly robbed me of my boyfriend!"

"... It's not enough that you killed my mother. If it wasn't for your phone call, my child would not have died. Now, you still think it's all other people's fault, and you have no responsibility at all?"

"Your child?" Yang Ruiqi didn't seem to understand, but continued to yell through gritted teeth, "What about my child, if you didn't die, would Jiang Zhen ignore me! My child will never be gone, I can't have a child, He just married that bitch Zhou Yingrou, and it's all about you, and you will drag me down even if you die!"

Yang Ruiqi's leg injury hadn't healed at all, and she was harassed by the media a while ago and couldn't rest, and her movements were still inconvenient.She jumped out of the bed and limped towards Jiang Qiaoan. Before Jiang Qiaoan could dodge, she fell to the ground and hit her head against the wall with a "boom".

Although the floor was covered with extremely thick carpets and the walls were covered with soft bags, Yang Ruiqi's forehead was reddened by too much force, and it took a while to get up.

"Shi Yujie is already dead? That's right, you are already dead!" Yang Ruiqi clapped her hands and laughed, "This is retribution!"

"My mother is retribution, so what about you today? What is it?" Facing Yang Ruiqi, Jiang Qiaoan has long since stopped being angry, "Although my mother passed away early, it is better than you today. I am here today to represent her See what happens to you."

"I'm like this because of you! You died when you died, why did you give birth to a daughter to torture me, why didn't you take her to die with you!" Yang Ruiqi remembered the sad things, and cried, "I hate Your daughter, she is not Jiang Zhen's child, she doesn't look like him at all, and Jiang Zhen is not willing to throw her out! I have treated your daughter so well to please him, but your daughter grows up She came to harm me when I was older! Actually, I have always hated her, so much that I wished I could strangle her to death when she was a few months old! It was all because of her, even Xiao Chi ignored me, and he didn’t answer my calls. Come to see me, it's all your daughter... She is so bad, and there will be no good results, I'm waiting! I'm waiting!"

Yang Ruiqi cried for a while and laughed for a while, Jiang Qiaoan only felt that the past self was a big joke, and he refused to stay any longer.

Hearing the commotion inside, the doctor wanted to come in for a long time to take a look, but when Mo Chi's wife was inside, he didn't push the door in. Seeing Jiang Qiao'an coming out at this time, he hurriedly asked the nurse to give an injection of diazepam.

"Although Mr. Shi didn't have time to visit the doctor, he told him to take care of him carefully." The doctor pointed.

Jiang Qiaoan smiled: "Then you take good care of her and make her live longer."

Stepping out of the rehabilitation center, Jiang Qiaoan finally understood why Shi Mochi refused to meet Yang Ruiqi again. She thought, facing such a person, Shi Mochi might no longer be shameless, but It is speechless.

As soon as Jiang Qiaoan left, the people in the rehabilitation center notified Shi Mochi. On the way to the resort, he had been carefully observing her face, and he was relieved when he saw that she was lifeless.

The scenery of the resort is well-deserved, and everyone is very interested. Only Xiong Xiaole, who is pregnant with twins, is quite dissatisfied with this place. Pregnant women are not suitable for bathing in hot springs, and Li Qingjiang, who is in the army, cannot come together. Tired of being in one place, naturally he refused to talk to her.She had no choice but to force Jiang Qiao'an, who was in the same sickness as her, to hold on.

But Jiang Qiao'an, who is not a real pregnant woman, didn't want to sit and chat with her at all, and evaded with a smile: "You are about to give birth, so you can't always soak in hot water, I don't care."

"How could it be! Your baby is only three months old, and you can't take a hot spring!" Xiong Xiaole glanced at Jiang Qiaoan's exposed belly in a swimsuit, "Hey, it's been three months and it's still mediocre. After more than two months, my stomach is already very big!"

Jiang Qiao'an said with a dry smile: "You have twins in your stomach, and two are naturally bigger than one."

"No, it shouldn't be so flat if there is only one, and Xinyao's baby was not like this at three months!"

Shi Mochi was afraid that the lie would be exposed, so he hurried over to rescue him when he saw the situation: "We are healthy and thin, so we are naturally flat. Do you think everyone is as greedy as you, and your stomach was also bulging when you were not pregnant, just a fat man .”

Before Xiong Xiaole could lose his temper, he heard the grandma sitting on the side say: "Don't make trouble with your brother, Xiao Chi, you too, how can you say that your sister is fat, like Xiao Xiong?" Well, Qiaoan is too thin, and it has been more than three months without showing belly, fortunately, I asked them to bring fresh ingredients, and I will make soup for you for dinner, and drink a few more bowls."

"Grandma, you are eccentric! I also have a baby, and you don't cook soup for me every day!"

Grandma poked her on the head lovingly: "Is your child's last name Shi? Doesn't the Li family's grandma make delicious food for you every day! Let's drink together later."

Xiong Xiaole cut it, and continued to forcibly drag Jiang Qiaoan aside to chat with his mouth flattened.

Jiang Qiao'an is cold and likes to soak in hot springs the most, so he immediately winked at Shi Mochi, wanting him to persuade Xiong Xiaole to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shi Mochi not only pretended not to see it, but also followed his sister's words: "Little Xiong is right, pregnant women are not allowed to soak in hot springs, not to mention we don't have any real hot springs here, the developers in this pool are not trying to attract customers. He heated the ordinary water of the fake hot spring. Be obedient, when the baby is born, I will take you to the real hot spring."

Hearing the word "pregnant woman" that Shi Mochi deliberately emphasized, Jiang Qiaoan gave him a hard look, then gritted his teeth and followed Xiong Xiaole to the side.

Xiong Xiaole has always been lively and talkative, and is most interested in jewelry. He stayed in Jiang Qiaoan and Shi Mochi's room until nearly ten o'clock and refused to leave.

While waiting outside, Mo Chi saw that his sister had no intention of leaving at all, but repeatedly hinted to Jiang Qiaoan to drive her away as soon as possible. Jiang Qiaoan was angry, and imitated his way in the afternoon, rolled his eyes and pretended not to see .

"Little Xiong, it's already ten o'clock. Pregnant women should go to bed early and go back to your room." Shi Mochi had no choice but to chase the people away by himself.

Xiong Xiaole yawned: "It's so late, no wonder I'm sleepy, Qing Jiang is not here, I don't want to sleep alone, brother, go to my room, I want to sleep with Qiao An."

"..."

Ignoring Shi Mo Chi's eager eyes, Jiang Qiao'an found a quilt for Xiong Xiaole with a smile: "Okay, I want to be with you too."

Hearing this sentence, Shi Mochi frowned, and took out his elder brother's airs to scold others: "Xiong Xiaole, stop making trouble, and go back to your own place!"

Xiong Xiaole is not afraid of him: "But Qiao An even said that he wants to be with me more! Shi Mochi, you are the most annoying!"

"What did you call me?"

"Shi Mochi!" Xiong Xiaole curled his lips, "Che~Qiaoan is my cousin, and you are my cousin-in-law after you marry her. Now you should call me sister!"

"I can call you sister, but you can give me the New Year's money instead." Shi Mochi understood his sister's temperament very well, "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and I originally prepared a big red envelope for you. It seems that this A lot of money can be saved."

Xiong Xiaole is the most money fanatic. When he heard that there was lucky money, Mo Chi called his brother repeatedly, waved happily to say good night to Jiang Qiaoan, put on his coat and opened the door to go back.

As soon as she walked away, Shi Mochi immediately lowered his body, smiled and said to come over: "Take the car all afternoon, you are exhausted, let's go to bed early."

Jiang Qiaoan gave him a blank look, turned over and got out of bed: "I haven't showered yet, so go to sleep by yourself."

"What's the point of taking a bath? A moment in Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold."

"You soak comfortably for hours without taking a bath, of course."

"Angry? Aren't you afraid that they will find out your flaws? I'll bring you here again another day." Shi Mochi grabbed Jiang Qiaoan restlessly.

"Grandpa and grandma will know sooner or later. Do you have to hide it from them? Is it meaningful? I drink greasy tonic soup every day. I can't wear high heels or make up. Now I can't even soak in hot springs. Knowing that we are lying, they will tell us in the future. Just get angrier."

"Tomorrow isn't the first day of the new year. For those who celebrate the new year, how can you say that these things destroy the festive atmosphere and make the old people sad." Shi Mochi pushed Jiang Qiaoan onto the bed, and turned off the light casually.

Jiang Qiaoan was very dissatisfied, pushed him away hard, got up and turned on the light: "I'm tired, I want to have a good sleep."

"It's fine if you want to sleep. After the new year, we'll go get the marriage certificate." Shi Mochi hugged her and refused to let go.

"Don't think about it!"

Although she forgave Shi Mochi, Jiang Qiaoan still had a little bit of anger in her heart. In addition, Shi Mochi was busy with business and had not fulfilled her promise to travel together. Get a marriage certificate.

Shi Mochi had no sense of security, and after Jiang Qiaoan had recuperated for a month, he worked harder between the beds, only wanting her to conceive another child as soon as possible.

He coaxed her in a low voice: "It's fine if you don't get a marriage certificate. Give me a son first. Then the father will be more expensive than the son. Grandparents will be angry if they know it. For the sake of the child, they won't do anything to me." of."

Only then did Jiang Qiao'an understand why Mo Chi had exhausted all his excuses these days and refused to use contraception. She intended to teach him a lesson, so she didn't tell the doctor that she should not have children and take medicine with her within six months.

When Shi Mochi saw that Jiang Qiaoan no longer resisted, he took off her blouse with a smirk and bullied her. Seeing that he was about to succeed, he heard the sound of the door opening.

"I left my mobile phone here. Fortunately, I didn't lock the door when I left. Grandma and the others made dumplings. Come out and eat." Xiong Xiaole saw such a beautiful scene before stepping in, and immediately blushed, "I Me, I, I thought that Qiaoan had a baby in her stomach, you wouldn't... Oh, brother, you are too perverted, how could you do this!"

Xiong Xiaole's voice was so loud that everyone in the Shi family who were waiting outside the door could hear it very clearly...

"Hey, you're too immodest, and you'll sleep separately with Qiao'an in the future." Grandma hesitated to speak.

Jiang Qiaoan was so embarrassed that he wished to die. Fearing that he would be misunderstood, he had no choice but to tell the story of the child.

Everyone was shocked, but grandparents were the saddest.

"We are all at this age, and we just look forward to seeing our great-grandson. The first child will have to be recuperated for at least a year and a half. It is still unknown whether we can live until your child is born." Grandma was so sad that the corners of her eyes were slightly wet .

"Why did you have a miscarriage?" Shi Tuojin asked with a cold face.

Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to mention that person again, so he only replied vaguely: "I had a quarrel with Mo Chi, and I became popular again, so I went to the hospital to protect my pregnancy, and then I had another fight. I ran away from home because of anger, and then... I was not careful, sorry."

"I knew it was because of you! Your daughter-in-law is pregnant and you still don't let her go!" Grandpa pointed at Shi Mochi and scolded.

"Grandpa, it's not his fault, it's because I'm too willful."

"You don't need to say, I know his bad temper. Although his father has a bad temper, he never gets angry at his mother. What kind of skill is a big man to bully his wife at home? You have to beat him up to relieve your anger. Tuojin, find a harder board."

Hearing this, grandma just felt distressed, but she couldn’t relieve her anger without punishing him severely, so she said, “You won’t be afraid of hand pain if you beat him, let him kneel outside. Get him up."

Shi Mochi knew he couldn't hide, so he could only do it.

Grandma thought that Jiang Qiaoan must not have the heart to let his grandson kneel in the cold wind for too long, and would call him back in less than 10 minutes, so she went to eat dumplings without worry.

But he didn't expect that when Jiang Qiaoan went to see Shi Mochi with a dejected face two hours later, he only smiled and whispered three words in his ear - "You deserve it".

Shi Mochi was very wronged: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that I would have to wait so long before having another child."

"How do I know that you have no common sense. You don't care about my body, you just want me to give birth to your baby!"

"You don't want to marry me. I'm anxious to have a child because I'm afraid that you will leave me again!" Shi Mochi rubbed his numb knees and sat beside Jiang Qiaoan.

The new year is coming, and everyone gathers in a small yard not far away to wait for the bell to ring. The pregnant Xiong Xiaole rushes to set off some firecrackers to set off fireworks. When she is stopped, she is very angry. Shi Xiaxing scolds her with a smile, She quarreled and refused, and the family talked and laughed, warm and lively.

"I used to hate the Spring Festival the most, but now I think it's the best festival. On New Year's Eve that year, I had a conflict with Zhou Yingrou, and I felt lonely when I heard the lively firecrackers in your house through the phone. I asked you to pick me up while crying." I left, but I didn’t expect that after more than 1000 kilometers, you would come back overnight and take me to set off fireworks. That was the happiest New Year’s Day in my memory, and I always think about it after breaking up.”

"When I thought you lied to me and just lost my child, someone asked me if I would continue to be with you. Although I hated it so much that I wanted to die with you, I thought about it for a long time, but I only answered no."

"Just like you still refuse to let go after I left for four years, no matter how wrong you did, I also don't want to break contact with you, and I don't want to miss you. I don't understand until now, for you To me, love and hate don't matter at all, no matter who owes whom, no matter what kind of relationship, it's all the same, the important thing is that we are together." She raised the champagne glass in her hand and smiled sweetly , "Happy New Year, Shi Mochi."
