marry for love
Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Looking at his pale and helpless elder brother lying on the hospital bed, Lu Mi felt very uncomfortable, not only for his elder brother, but also because he was so ashamed to cry for money last night.
Because my brother Lu Zheng is really a good brother, but there is no one in the world who can't be spoiled, once spoiled, there will be a lot of problems, but Lu Zheng is a person who can't be spoiled, he always treats people like that Well, it's even better for Lu Mi.When I was a child, I got delicious food from my parents and always secretly left a portion for Lu Mi. Lu Mi hid behind the big bed and ate shortbread, almost choked.At that time, the two of them went to elementary school together, Lu Zheng had the breakfast fee to eat deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk, and Lu Mi only had enough money to buy a steamed bun. In order to rent martial arts books, Lu Mi had no choice but to skip meals and save the money when he was hungry. .When Lu Zheng saw this, he ate steamed buns with Lu Mi, saving money for Lu Mi to read books, but he didn't like reading books, especially martial arts books.
Needless to say, things after growing up, Lu Zheng always loves Lu Mi very much, even Xiong Jingwen, who married into Lu's family, can't see it, so there is a layer of separation between her and Lu Mi from the beginning, Being polite is all about being polite, Lu Mi knows this very well.
People who knew Lu Zheng said that he was good at everything except that he was not smart enough to make a fortune, and he was full of advantages from head to toe.
Zi Chong once said disapprovingly, what's the use of being a good person in this world?Now I really don't know whether to say who is a good person is a compliment or a curse. What a man can do is nothing, and I am optimistic about it.
Because of this sentence, Lu Mi and Zi Chong had a fight.
Lu Mi in the hospital naturally didn't mention money. Apart from saying some inspirational words to Lu Zheng, she pretended to be relaxed and said that the current medical development is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and she believes that her brother's operation will be successful, etc.When I left, I grabbed my brother's hand and shook it vigorously, which can be regarded as conveying a kind of family affection and confidence.
Back to work in the studio, Bai refused to see Lu Mi and said that the actress husband, the musician, had already called him several times to review him sincerely, and hoped that they could take pictures of the actress, because even though there was a little unpleasantness, , but he and the actress still like their photography style very much.In short, what Bai refused meant was that if it wasn't for Lu Mi's tribute, he would definitely reject it. It wasn't because he was small-minded, but because the natural creative atmosphere was broken, and each other would become cautious. It is also conceivable.
Lu Mi glanced at Bai Ju and said, "Then you should refuse it flatly."
Bai rolled his eyes in puzzlement.
So Lu Mi told his brother that he was sick and that it was impossible for her to pay for the house again.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Mi sighed: "In just one night, life changed its trajectory."
Bai refused to think for a while, and replied: "Then it's even more necessary to take pictures of the actress, she gives a lot of money, and you don't know how much you will spend on your brother in the future."
"so serious?"
"Do you think you'll be fine if you spend all your savings? Let me tell you, I thought the same when my mother was sick. She had lung cancer. My dad and I spent the last penny of the family and owed us all the money." Debt, my mother let us go, but my father and I are still paying off the debt...Of course he already feels that life is boring, and I, I changed when I was very young. thoughtful outlook on life.”
Lu Mi didn't speak, but she somewhat understood why Bai Ju had such a weird personality, he was melancholy, closed and emotional.
He has never had a girlfriend either. According to him, he has had one and a half in the past, but those girls will definitely say when they get to know him better, I am serious about your feelings, and you must be responsible to me. .Bai refused to understand, Bai refused to say that you should be responsible for yourself, why should I be responsible?Bai refused to say that he has a phobia of responsibility. What he fears most in this world is the word "responsibility" because it is too heavy.In this way, which good girl would give her heart to this young artist with a ponytail?
Lu Mi's heart became heavier little by little, but she still said: "But my brother and I have a very good relationship."
A bleak smile flashed across Bai Ju's face: "Of course you did nothing wrong, and I have no regrets, but this kind of thing will really drag people down, it's just a fact."
Lu Mi had nothing to say for a moment.
After finishing the work in the afternoon, Lu Mi went to Liurong Temple alone. This temple is located in the city, but it is also surrounded by green pines and cypresses, showing a unique tranquility.When Lu Mi entered the temple, he burned incense and prayed for his elder brother, hoping that he could overcome this critical hurdle in life.
Unexpectedly, in the temple, Lu Mi saw his mother, who was making a wish with her hands folded and her eyes closed. She must have come here because of her brother's illness.For some reason, Lu Mi didn't go up to disturb her mother, thinking that they would meet unexpectedly and come to the same place to do the same thing. In fact, mother and daughter are united, and they are inseparable. However, the feelings between them But the city is so thin, so thin that it is like a stranger.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the whole family with money and strength, Lu Zheng finally underwent a kidney transplant operation, but unfortunately the operation failed, because Lu Zheng suffered severe rejection after the operation, and Xin Zhi The kidney in the body did not work at all, and after a few days it showed severe necrosis, so it had to be removed from the body.After this major surgery, it can be said that Lu Zheng was also seriously injured.
At this time, the Lu family was at a loss. If Lu Zheng didn't receive treatment and dialysis, his condition would deteriorate rapidly and his life would be endangered.But to continue treatment, money is a huge problem.
I have already borrowed a round of money from relatives and friends. At that time, people knew that it was an emergency, and they would take out some of it. Now they ask to borrow money. If you borrow it again, you have nothing to say.
This continued for a period of time, not only did Lu Mi frown deeply all day long, her family was even more gloomy.
Lu Mi told Bai Ju that she was about to collapse.Ever since hearing Bai Ju's sad life experience, Lu Mi is more willing to discuss with him the despair of having a sick person at home.It's not that she doesn't want to tell Zichong, but because Zichong is in good health and has no similar experience. He always said that we have already spent all our savings, and I don't know what else I can do?
Can't you just listen to me?Lu Mi said.
You don’t even realize how often you chanted. Besides, can chanting cure kidney disease?Zi Chong said.
So sometimes Lu Mi can only talk a little more to Bai Ju, and Bai Ju is like a huge sound-absorbing wall, he is speechless and silent, but he understands.
Just when Lu Mi felt that he could no longer hold on, things took an unexpected turn.
One day, Lu Mi was writing a copy for a newly shot souvenir book. You must know that Lu Mi is a person who can write brilliantly. Her writing is different and dangerous, but she can reveal the true feelings in the indifference.At this moment, she received a call. The voice on the phone was very strange. It was a man: "Hello, is this Lu Mi?"
"Yes, who are you?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You may not even remember me, I'm Zhu Yanfeng."
Lu Mi's mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately remembered that Zhu Yanfeng was her classmate in high school, because he was still a handsome boy in school.
Lu Mi hurriedly said: "Of course I remember you, and I don't remember who told me that you posted it in the past two years."
"What are you posting?" Yanfeng's voice was still so low-key, he said: "Lu Mi, are you free recently? I want to talk to you..."
Without thinking, Lu Mi said, "Let's talk about it after a while, I'm not in the mood right now."
Yanfeng insisted: "I just want to talk if I'm not in the mood."
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, and it can be said that he agreed to him in a daze.
That night, Lu Mi went to the restaurant that Zhu Yanfeng invited her to. The restaurant was called Hongxi Clubhouse, and the decoration was extremely elegant. Not only the tables and chairs were made of rosewood, but there was also a fish watching pond in the hall. The koi swim leisurely in the water, and the lotus in the pond blooms.The floor is paved with large blue stones, and the palace lanterns radiate gentle and soft light.In short, all the furnishings are neither ostentatious nor lingering commercial atmosphere, which makes people calm down at once.
The menu is a vertical thread-bound book. Lu Mi opened it and saw that a plate of cold cucumbers cost 38 yuan. She gasped. Of course, she pretended to be calm and ordered a few of the cheapest dishes.
Zhu Yanfeng laughed and said: "Didn't you say I posted it? Why leave it to me." After speaking, he changed a few dishes with the foreman in black uniform in a low voice.
After seeing each other for many years, Lu Mi felt that Zhu Yanfeng had matured a lot. Although he still looked so heroic and handsome, at the same time, he had the confidence and stability of a young man.He now has his own flagship company and eleven other subsidiaries in several important cities across the country. It is not surprising that he is rich, but he is young and has no background to be able to sit on such a huge wealth. Rare.
Zhu Yanfeng is obviously a successful person. The characteristic of a successful person is that he speaks golden words and never speaks in circles.
Zhu Yanfeng said: "Lu Mi, I heard that your brother is ill."
Lu Mi didn't speak, and the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhu Yanfeng said: "I am willing to help your brother, isn't it just for treatment and surgery expenses?"
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears: "This, how is this possible?"
Zhu Yanfeng said: "Of course it's impossible. Everyone knows that there is no free lunch, and I have conditions."
"What conditions?" The words almost blurted out, because at this time Lu Mi seemed to be someone who lived on an isolated island for a long time and saw a white sail in the sky.
Zhu Yanfeng said with a serious expression: "Lu Mi, I hope you can marry me."
Lu Mi looked at Zhu Yanfeng dumbly, she simply didn't know what he was talking about.
"I know you will be surprised," Zhu Yanfeng said, "but there's nothing to be surprised about. To tell you the truth, I've been secretly in love with you since I was in high school..."
Lu Mi laughed, and she said: "Zhu Yanfeng, it doesn't matter if others believe it or not, I'm afraid even you don't believe it... When I was in high school, it was different from boys, but you and Sun Jirou She is the golden boy and jade girl recognized by the class, and the "Meeting in Obao" you sang hand in hand with her is still a repertoire for our class to participate in the whole school performance."
What Lu Mi said is correct. Sun Jirou in the class back then not only studied well, but also was beautiful. Her big eyes were watery and she seemed to be able to talk. It is a classic beauty that everyone loves.
At that time, Zhu Yanfeng was the class monitor, and Sun Jirou was the study committee member. Once Lu Mi saw Sun Jirou lowering his head to report to Zhu Yanfeng that the male students in the class did not complete their homework, and seemed to be crying. Zhu Yanfeng kept comforting her.Lu Mi thought to himself, if he were to be compared with Sun Jirou, he would not be a girl at all.
Zhu Yanfeng sighed and said: "I know everyone thinks that Sun Jirou and I are the best match, and Sun Jirou really likes me. For me, she hasn't found a boyfriend yet. But I don't know what's going on with me. , I just feel that you attract me like a magnet."
"What can I attract you?" Lu Mi didn't know what to say.
"Other girls don't like to play basketball, but you are the only one who runs on the court with our boys. You are the center forward and direct the forwards and guards around; when the class goes on an outing in the mountains, no female classmates dare to walk. Weeds are overgrown. You just walk in front of the mountain road with a stick; you never cry, and you can handle everything whether it is your own affairs or those of your classmates, from trying to get the autographs of movie stars and singers to climbing trees Pick white orchids for Sun Jirou...Anyway, I just think you are like a ray of sunshine in my heart, and I feel relaxed and happy when I see you."
"Even if that's the case, why didn't you tell me? Even if you didn't dare to say it when you were in school, why didn't you say it when you graduated from high school?"
"I wanted to tell you when I graduated from high school, but in the end you were admitted to a prestigious school, but I failed. What do you say about me..." Zhu Yanfeng said again, "Not only can't I say, I can't even see you. I can’t see you anymore. During that time, I organized several class reunions, and you promised to come every time, but you didn’t come every time... Some classmates made sarcastic remarks to me, saying that you were admitted to a famous university. Put your classmates in your eyes."
Lu Mi was speechless for a while, not to mention how wronged she was, only God knows that during that time, because her parents didn't want her to go to college, so there was no way to pay for her tuition fees, at that time she was thinking of becoming a prostitute, how could she How do you feel to participate in the affectionate class reunion? !
At this juncture, the dishes they ordered came to the table one after another. Each dish was very delicately prepared and served on ivory white disks. Red is red and green is green. It looks like a handicraft, but it tastes like a It's full of flavors, but it's a pity that the amount is too small.Zhu Yanfeng explained that this is to make the guests feel that they are not satisfied, so that they will not hurt their spleen and stomach because of the delicious food, and it is also a new culture in the catering industry.
After eating for a while, Lu Mi said: "Zhu Yanfeng, I was quite moved after hearing so much from you just now. Some of the bad things I did when I was young, I even forgot, but you still remember the details... But everyone has their own way of life, and I already have a boyfriend now..."
"I know you have a boyfriend, and your boyfriend's name is Hu Zichong. I also know that you have a very good relationship and are planning to get married."
"Since you know everything, why do you still tell me the previous things? According to my point of view, some things are the essence of a lifetime if they are not spoken out. If they are spoken out, they will become dross and garbage."
Zhu Yanfeng said: "I have my reason for saying it, Lu Mi, if your brother is not sick, I can only watch you marry someone else and keep silent, but isn't my chance now? Beard Chong doesn’t have the money to help your brother treat his illness, but I do, and I can bear all the expenses your brother needs.”
"Then aren't you taking advantage of others' danger?"
"How is this taking advantage of others? I neither forced you nor threatened or harmed you. I just expressed my strength to give you one more choice. In this era, even when it comes to relationships, strength is important. That kind of so-called pure and pure love is nothing more than a flower in a mirror, and it is just a drug for people's spirit."
When he said these words, Zhu Yanfeng seemed calm and composed. His aura of a little superman made Lu Mi feel very uncomfortable.Lu Mi thought to himself, what you said is right, and every word is right.But you have forgotten one of the most common sense truths, that is, I don't love you, I don't feel like being with you, and it is impossible for me to choose to live tied to you for the rest of my life.And Hu Zichong is the whole of my emotional life, and it is always fun for me to quarrel with him.
Zhu Yanfeng seemed to see through Lu Mi's thoughts, and he still said calmly: "I actually have many advantages. After a long time, you will definitely like me."
Lu Mi laughed again: "Why are you acting like a politician soliciting votes?"
"Sometimes marriage itself is an election, and I will win more votes." Zhu Yanfeng said to Lu Mi very seriously, and smiled a little complacently.
In the evening when Lu Mi returned to her residence, she wanted to tell Zi Chong about it as a joke, but Zi Chong did not come back after working overtime at the company, so she had no choice but to keep silent and didn't take it to heart.
On Thursday afternoon, Lu Mi went to the hospital to accompany Lu Zheng to have a special examination. It is said that due to cost issues, all patients in the hospital only have one examination a week.Sure enough, the price was a bargain, and this inspection cost more than 200 yuan. Lu Mi was stupid at the time.
Lu Mi returned to the ward almost crying without tears, but saw his mother and sister-in-law talking to his brother with happy faces. Since his brother fell ill, he had never seen them have such expressions.
Seeing Lu Mi, mother came over with a rare smile, and said to Lu Mi: "Let's go outside for a walk."
At a loss, Lu Mi followed his mother to the corridor outside the inpatient building, and his mother said in the first sentence: "Mi'er, I never expected you to be our family's savior."
Lu Mi thought to himself, I am so worried that my face is green now, I only feel that I am a broom star, how can I dare to think of anything good?
Mother then told Lu Mi the whole story.
It turned out that what Zhu Yanfeng said when he had dinner with Lu Mi was not just talking. After that, he started a huge and passionate pursuit offensive. He first sent someone to Lu Mi's house to formally propose marriage, and then called his assistant Went to the hospital to pay off all the debts owed by Lu Zheng, not only that, but also pledged a considerable amount of advance payment.
Not to mention, Zhu Yanfeng personally invited her whole family, except Lu Mi, to have a meal of authentic Chaozhou cuisine at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city.When paying the bill, my father ordered a stick of Chunghwa cigarettes, and my mother ordered three catties of the best California grapes, which were also Lu Zheng's favorite.Hearing this, Lu Mi wished that there was a crack in the ground and slipped into it herself. She thought, it seems that Zhu Yanfeng really started to solicit votes, but her parents clearly knew that she had a boyfriend, but they behaved like this It was not satisfactory, which made her feel very shameless, especially when her mother kept praising Yanfeng for being decent, not only for his appearance, but also for his actions.
Lu Mi never dared to contradict his mother since he was a child, but now he was a little anxious, "Mom, don't think about it, if Zi Chong finds out about this, he won't die of anger?!"
"Why is he angry? Aren't you not married yet?"
"But we're definitely going to get married."
"Not necessarily."
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Mi'er, mom is not a person who is open to money. When you brought Zi Chong home and saw that you liked him so much, I didn't say anything... But the situation is different now. Your brother has such a serious illness. disease, and this disease can be cured if you have money, but is Zi Chong able to help us?"
Lu Mi's head buzzed. She really didn't expect her mother to say such a thing, and she didn't know how to respond.
The mother continued: "So, Mier, your father and I discussed it last night. We hope you will move back home and agree to marry Zhu Yanfeng at the same time."
Lu Mi lowered his face and said, "What about Zi Chong?"
"There are plenty of good girls, and you don't owe him anything."
"I will not separate from Zi Chong."
"What's wrong with Zhu Yanfeng? In terms of appearance, talent, and economic strength, what point can he not compare to Hu Zichong?!"
"But I don't like Zhu Yanfeng. Marriage is a lifetime thing."
The mother suddenly became angry, and reprimanded Lu Mi sharply: "Are you just watching your brother die? Your brother is like this now, and you are still thinking about your happiness. Our whole family saves money for you to go to college. What you can give us in return is selfishness, right? You talk?!"
Lu Mi was speechless, and at the same time, her mind seemed to be overturned. She thought that it was because she went to university that she understood that human beings have dignity, and that all reasonable needs of human nature must be respected. Selling and exchanging herself under the circumstances is a manifestation of ignorance and ignorance, and all these principles are what she learned in college.And what is the difference between the mother's request for her and the change of relatives in the rural and backward areas?
That night, Xiong Jingwen came to look for Lu Mi. Although they were sisters-in-law in the past, they didn't get so close, so it was almost uncommon for them to meet alone in the coffee shop like tonight.
Xiong Jingwen was born as a preschool teacher, which made her voice, tone, and sense of language a bit like coaxing children. She said to Lu Mi: "Lu Mi, I know that you and Zi Chong have a deep relationship, and your combination It is also a choice of love in the true sense. Compared with those girls in society who only know how to worship money, they can't compare with you. But your brother's situation is too serious now, let's not talk about your brother How he treats you, I think you know this best, just say that you are blood relatives who have broken bones and muscles, do you think you can just ignore him?"
Lu Mi sat opposite to Jing Wen, she lowered her head slightly, subconsciously turning the cup of orange water with both hands, because Jing Wen's words were gentle and powerful, Lu Mi's expression was involuntarily like someone who did something wrong child.
Jingwen said again: "You know Lu Mi, if you can give up your own happiness to save your brother, it will be a good story, and it is not inferior to the good story of love at all, don't you think so?"
Lu Mi raised her head, but she dared not look into Jing Wen's eyes, which were full of longing, prayer, hope and sadness... Lu Mi was very worried that Jing Wen would kneel in front of her inadvertently, then She wasn't sure what she would promise her.On the other hand, she felt that both her mother and Jingwen were cruel and ruthless to her. She even described them as vicious. No matter what attitude they treated her, she was so stubborn in her heart .
Because they only had her brother in their hearts, in her young memory, she couldn't remember what her mother and sister-in-law had done for her. Of course, they didn't treat her badly or mean her, but their neglect of her really made her hard to let go.
Or to put it another way, even if she is willing to make such a sacrifice for her brother, it should be her own decision.She emphasized the word willingly, so the more they forced her, the harder and colder her heart became.
Lu Mi couldn't remember how he left the coffee shop and returned to his residence.
After entering the room, she realized that Zi Chong hadn't come back, and the room looked unusually deserted. Lu Mi went to the window and looked at the boundless night. She thought, why the life principles that she learned in college can be said to be helpful. She formed a world view, but as a result, as soon as she faced life, these reinforced concrete concepts melted into water like ice cubes.
Not to mention getting married for love, even if she insisted on something for love, that would be treasonous.
To put it bluntly, if she is willing to bury her brother, I believe her mother will agree.Has this world really evolved?Has it really entered the era of network, moon landing, and electronic integration?
At this moment Beard rushed back.
Lu Mi stood up from the sofa, feeling that there was something to say but didn't know where to start: "Are you working overtime again today?"
"No," Zi Chong said with a gloomy expression, "Your father came to the company to look for me..."
"What... what did he tell you?"
"Let's be honest, I want to marry you to Zhu Yanfeng... and said that your family has discussed the decision for three days and three nights."
"Then how did you answer him?"
"I disagree, I said it because I love Lu Mi."
Lu Mi's tears flowed out as if he had heard an order, Zi Chong didn't know why Lu Mi was crying, he continued: "I don't know what you think, anyway, I think we postpone the marriage, take out I have spent all my savings and tried my best, but if you are willing to marry Zhu Yanfeng to save your brother, I understand, because I am not capable, but if the whole family forces you, I think it is unfair..."
Lu Mi originally wanted to say, that's what I thought.But she couldn't stop her sadness, she couldn't speak at all, she knew it would lead to crying.
She couldn't give up on Zi Chong from the bottom of her heart, because they shared a heart, and what he said was destined to be the sentence she wanted to hear the most.For a girl who lacked love since she was a child, this is what she is willing to hold on to, and at the same time, this is all Lu Mi has.
Zhu Yanfeng is an upright gentleman. After he learned that Lu Mi was unwilling to give up his love, he stopped his vigorous pursuit.He called Lu Mi and said, I respect your decision, but you can change it at any time, because as long as you don't get married, it is my hope.
After that, he no longer harassed Lu Mi.
However, it was Zhu Yanfeng's intervention that caused the sudden disturbance in the Lu family.
Anyone who has been in a hospital knows that as long as your money becomes medical expenses, it will flow away like water.Of course, Lu Zheng was no exception. The deposit that Zhu Yanfeng paid in advance for him was like a river of spring water flowing eastward. After it bottomed out, a warning red light appeared on his medical bill, and the computer automatically blocked all the medicines for treatment, and the Lu family started again. Cobble together money to send to the hospital.
Lu Zheng was originally doing dialysis three times a week, then changed it to two times, and then changed it to three times a week. In short, when the day of dialysis was approaching, due to the accumulation of toxins in his body, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and it could even be said to be painful Unbearable, his body showed symptoms of acidosis.Lu Zheng can often smell the urine smell coming from his body, and he feels that he has lost his dignity as a human being like a pig urine bubble.
He became more withdrawn and sometimes lost his temper.
The Lu family did not tell Lu Zheng about Zhu Yanfeng. Not only did they not, but in front of him, the family members seemed calm and harmonious whether they came to visit, deliver meals, or take turns doing nursing work.
But as soon as they left the hospital, their parents began to scold Lu Mi for being vicious. Seeing her brother in such misery, she was not moved. Xiong Jingwen was also completely disappointed in Lu Mi. She said that Lu Mi was a seed of evil, and you just watered it with blood. It is also impossible to bloom kind flowers.
In fact, Lu Mi saw that his brother's treatment was hindered, and the second operation was nowhere in sight, how could he not be anxious?But this is a disease, a disease is a natural disaster, no one has the ability to rejuvenate, how can we put the blame on her?Besides, she also went to ask the doctor. The doctor said that money is of course a big problem, but money alone cannot be said to solve the problem [-]%. I have several million in my hands, and I dare not guarantee that your brother will be saved.
But the Lu family doesn't care about these things, for Lu Zheng's parents and wife, it is impossible for them to think rationally, they just feel that Lu Mi did not stand up at this moment of life and death, and this is what they can't forgive her for.
Of course, in front of Lu Zheng, they tried their best to maintain a group of harmony. They felt that letting Lu Zheng see Lu Mi's ugly face was undoubtedly the biggest blow and harm to the patient.Mother always said some reassuring words to Lu Zheng, she said you don't have to think about money, I have money.
Lu Zheng sighed, what money do you have?I know that the family has long been destitute.
Of course I am rich, Lu Zheng's mother said, when I was young, I was also very popular with men like Mi Er, they even gave me a gold necklace.
I bet you never even saw a gold necklace back then.Lu Zheng said firmly.
The mother patted Lu Zheng, smiled and said look at you child.
One day, when Lu Mi came to see Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng suddenly said, "Little sister, when will you marry Zi Chong?"
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Brother, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Lu Zheng said: "These two times when I came to see me, I felt that he seemed a little depressed. He was not like this in the past. He was a simple and happy person... I know that my illness must have affected you. Mom must be with me. Do you want money?..."
"Brother, don't talk about it, how can you affect us... Zi Chong is unhappy because of his promotion."
"Zichong is not an official fan. If he is unhappy, it will only be because of his feelings. I have rarely seen a person as affectionate and passionate as him. Little sister, you should cherish your fate."
Lu Mi couldn't help but said helplessly: "But don't you think that people who are very suitable are often undestined?"
Lu Zheng didn't speak immediately, he glanced at Lu Mi, then looked into the distance and said: "If I can see you getting married, I will be relieved."
That night, Lu Mi was a little shaken. She thought that even if her brother could guarantee three dialysis sessions a week, she should marry Zhu Yanfeng.
Although she didn't say a word, and she slept with her back to Zichong, Zichong still said behind her: "Lu Mi, don't make things too difficult, I promise you, no matter what choice you make, I will can understand you, and I will accept it calmly."
Usually at times like this, it would be Lu Mi crying and falling into Zi Chong's arms, but this time Lu Mi looked very calm, and she said: "All my pain is that I have no choice. In fact, I don't mind using a long I spend my whole life guarding someone I don’t love, but because, if I let go of someone I love, what’s the difference from giving up my brother?”
This time, it was Zi Chong who fell on Lu Mi's body, and he hugged her tightly, Lu Mi felt his face was wet.
(End of this chapter)
Looking at his pale and helpless elder brother lying on the hospital bed, Lu Mi felt very uncomfortable, not only for his elder brother, but also because he was so ashamed to cry for money last night.
Because my brother Lu Zheng is really a good brother, but there is no one in the world who can't be spoiled, once spoiled, there will be a lot of problems, but Lu Zheng is a person who can't be spoiled, he always treats people like that Well, it's even better for Lu Mi.When I was a child, I got delicious food from my parents and always secretly left a portion for Lu Mi. Lu Mi hid behind the big bed and ate shortbread, almost choked.At that time, the two of them went to elementary school together, Lu Zheng had the breakfast fee to eat deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk, and Lu Mi only had enough money to buy a steamed bun. In order to rent martial arts books, Lu Mi had no choice but to skip meals and save the money when he was hungry. .When Lu Zheng saw this, he ate steamed buns with Lu Mi, saving money for Lu Mi to read books, but he didn't like reading books, especially martial arts books.
Needless to say, things after growing up, Lu Zheng always loves Lu Mi very much, even Xiong Jingwen, who married into Lu's family, can't see it, so there is a layer of separation between her and Lu Mi from the beginning, Being polite is all about being polite, Lu Mi knows this very well.
People who knew Lu Zheng said that he was good at everything except that he was not smart enough to make a fortune, and he was full of advantages from head to toe.
Zi Chong once said disapprovingly, what's the use of being a good person in this world?Now I really don't know whether to say who is a good person is a compliment or a curse. What a man can do is nothing, and I am optimistic about it.
Because of this sentence, Lu Mi and Zi Chong had a fight.
Lu Mi in the hospital naturally didn't mention money. Apart from saying some inspirational words to Lu Zheng, she pretended to be relaxed and said that the current medical development is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and she believes that her brother's operation will be successful, etc.When I left, I grabbed my brother's hand and shook it vigorously, which can be regarded as conveying a kind of family affection and confidence.
Back to work in the studio, Bai refused to see Lu Mi and said that the actress husband, the musician, had already called him several times to review him sincerely, and hoped that they could take pictures of the actress, because even though there was a little unpleasantness, , but he and the actress still like their photography style very much.In short, what Bai refused meant was that if it wasn't for Lu Mi's tribute, he would definitely reject it. It wasn't because he was small-minded, but because the natural creative atmosphere was broken, and each other would become cautious. It is also conceivable.
Lu Mi glanced at Bai Ju and said, "Then you should refuse it flatly."
Bai rolled his eyes in puzzlement.
So Lu Mi told his brother that he was sick and that it was impossible for her to pay for the house again.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Mi sighed: "In just one night, life changed its trajectory."
Bai refused to think for a while, and replied: "Then it's even more necessary to take pictures of the actress, she gives a lot of money, and you don't know how much you will spend on your brother in the future."
"so serious?"
"Do you think you'll be fine if you spend all your savings? Let me tell you, I thought the same when my mother was sick. She had lung cancer. My dad and I spent the last penny of the family and owed us all the money." Debt, my mother let us go, but my father and I are still paying off the debt...Of course he already feels that life is boring, and I, I changed when I was very young. thoughtful outlook on life.”
Lu Mi didn't speak, but she somewhat understood why Bai Ju had such a weird personality, he was melancholy, closed and emotional.
He has never had a girlfriend either. According to him, he has had one and a half in the past, but those girls will definitely say when they get to know him better, I am serious about your feelings, and you must be responsible to me. .Bai refused to understand, Bai refused to say that you should be responsible for yourself, why should I be responsible?Bai refused to say that he has a phobia of responsibility. What he fears most in this world is the word "responsibility" because it is too heavy.In this way, which good girl would give her heart to this young artist with a ponytail?
Lu Mi's heart became heavier little by little, but she still said: "But my brother and I have a very good relationship."
A bleak smile flashed across Bai Ju's face: "Of course you did nothing wrong, and I have no regrets, but this kind of thing will really drag people down, it's just a fact."
Lu Mi had nothing to say for a moment.
After finishing the work in the afternoon, Lu Mi went to Liurong Temple alone. This temple is located in the city, but it is also surrounded by green pines and cypresses, showing a unique tranquility.When Lu Mi entered the temple, he burned incense and prayed for his elder brother, hoping that he could overcome this critical hurdle in life.
Unexpectedly, in the temple, Lu Mi saw his mother, who was making a wish with her hands folded and her eyes closed. She must have come here because of her brother's illness.For some reason, Lu Mi didn't go up to disturb her mother, thinking that they would meet unexpectedly and come to the same place to do the same thing. In fact, mother and daughter are united, and they are inseparable. However, the feelings between them But the city is so thin, so thin that it is like a stranger.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the whole family with money and strength, Lu Zheng finally underwent a kidney transplant operation, but unfortunately the operation failed, because Lu Zheng suffered severe rejection after the operation, and Xin Zhi The kidney in the body did not work at all, and after a few days it showed severe necrosis, so it had to be removed from the body.After this major surgery, it can be said that Lu Zheng was also seriously injured.
At this time, the Lu family was at a loss. If Lu Zheng didn't receive treatment and dialysis, his condition would deteriorate rapidly and his life would be endangered.But to continue treatment, money is a huge problem.
I have already borrowed a round of money from relatives and friends. At that time, people knew that it was an emergency, and they would take out some of it. Now they ask to borrow money. If you borrow it again, you have nothing to say.
This continued for a period of time, not only did Lu Mi frown deeply all day long, her family was even more gloomy.
Lu Mi told Bai Ju that she was about to collapse.Ever since hearing Bai Ju's sad life experience, Lu Mi is more willing to discuss with him the despair of having a sick person at home.It's not that she doesn't want to tell Zichong, but because Zichong is in good health and has no similar experience. He always said that we have already spent all our savings, and I don't know what else I can do?
Can't you just listen to me?Lu Mi said.
You don’t even realize how often you chanted. Besides, can chanting cure kidney disease?Zi Chong said.
So sometimes Lu Mi can only talk a little more to Bai Ju, and Bai Ju is like a huge sound-absorbing wall, he is speechless and silent, but he understands.
Just when Lu Mi felt that he could no longer hold on, things took an unexpected turn.
One day, Lu Mi was writing a copy for a newly shot souvenir book. You must know that Lu Mi is a person who can write brilliantly. Her writing is different and dangerous, but she can reveal the true feelings in the indifference.At this moment, she received a call. The voice on the phone was very strange. It was a man: "Hello, is this Lu Mi?"
"Yes, who are you?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You may not even remember me, I'm Zhu Yanfeng."
Lu Mi's mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately remembered that Zhu Yanfeng was her classmate in high school, because he was still a handsome boy in school.
Lu Mi hurriedly said: "Of course I remember you, and I don't remember who told me that you posted it in the past two years."
"What are you posting?" Yanfeng's voice was still so low-key, he said: "Lu Mi, are you free recently? I want to talk to you..."
Without thinking, Lu Mi said, "Let's talk about it after a while, I'm not in the mood right now."
Yanfeng insisted: "I just want to talk if I'm not in the mood."
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, and it can be said that he agreed to him in a daze.
That night, Lu Mi went to the restaurant that Zhu Yanfeng invited her to. The restaurant was called Hongxi Clubhouse, and the decoration was extremely elegant. Not only the tables and chairs were made of rosewood, but there was also a fish watching pond in the hall. The koi swim leisurely in the water, and the lotus in the pond blooms.The floor is paved with large blue stones, and the palace lanterns radiate gentle and soft light.In short, all the furnishings are neither ostentatious nor lingering commercial atmosphere, which makes people calm down at once.
The menu is a vertical thread-bound book. Lu Mi opened it and saw that a plate of cold cucumbers cost 38 yuan. She gasped. Of course, she pretended to be calm and ordered a few of the cheapest dishes.
Zhu Yanfeng laughed and said: "Didn't you say I posted it? Why leave it to me." After speaking, he changed a few dishes with the foreman in black uniform in a low voice.
After seeing each other for many years, Lu Mi felt that Zhu Yanfeng had matured a lot. Although he still looked so heroic and handsome, at the same time, he had the confidence and stability of a young man.He now has his own flagship company and eleven other subsidiaries in several important cities across the country. It is not surprising that he is rich, but he is young and has no background to be able to sit on such a huge wealth. Rare.
Zhu Yanfeng is obviously a successful person. The characteristic of a successful person is that he speaks golden words and never speaks in circles.
Zhu Yanfeng said: "Lu Mi, I heard that your brother is ill."
Lu Mi didn't speak, and the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhu Yanfeng said: "I am willing to help your brother, isn't it just for treatment and surgery expenses?"
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears: "This, how is this possible?"
Zhu Yanfeng said: "Of course it's impossible. Everyone knows that there is no free lunch, and I have conditions."
"What conditions?" The words almost blurted out, because at this time Lu Mi seemed to be someone who lived on an isolated island for a long time and saw a white sail in the sky.
Zhu Yanfeng said with a serious expression: "Lu Mi, I hope you can marry me."
Lu Mi looked at Zhu Yanfeng dumbly, she simply didn't know what he was talking about.
"I know you will be surprised," Zhu Yanfeng said, "but there's nothing to be surprised about. To tell you the truth, I've been secretly in love with you since I was in high school..."
Lu Mi laughed, and she said: "Zhu Yanfeng, it doesn't matter if others believe it or not, I'm afraid even you don't believe it... When I was in high school, it was different from boys, but you and Sun Jirou She is the golden boy and jade girl recognized by the class, and the "Meeting in Obao" you sang hand in hand with her is still a repertoire for our class to participate in the whole school performance."
What Lu Mi said is correct. Sun Jirou in the class back then not only studied well, but also was beautiful. Her big eyes were watery and she seemed to be able to talk. It is a classic beauty that everyone loves.
At that time, Zhu Yanfeng was the class monitor, and Sun Jirou was the study committee member. Once Lu Mi saw Sun Jirou lowering his head to report to Zhu Yanfeng that the male students in the class did not complete their homework, and seemed to be crying. Zhu Yanfeng kept comforting her.Lu Mi thought to himself, if he were to be compared with Sun Jirou, he would not be a girl at all.
Zhu Yanfeng sighed and said: "I know everyone thinks that Sun Jirou and I are the best match, and Sun Jirou really likes me. For me, she hasn't found a boyfriend yet. But I don't know what's going on with me. , I just feel that you attract me like a magnet."
"What can I attract you?" Lu Mi didn't know what to say.
"Other girls don't like to play basketball, but you are the only one who runs on the court with our boys. You are the center forward and direct the forwards and guards around; when the class goes on an outing in the mountains, no female classmates dare to walk. Weeds are overgrown. You just walk in front of the mountain road with a stick; you never cry, and you can handle everything whether it is your own affairs or those of your classmates, from trying to get the autographs of movie stars and singers to climbing trees Pick white orchids for Sun Jirou...Anyway, I just think you are like a ray of sunshine in my heart, and I feel relaxed and happy when I see you."
"Even if that's the case, why didn't you tell me? Even if you didn't dare to say it when you were in school, why didn't you say it when you graduated from high school?"
"I wanted to tell you when I graduated from high school, but in the end you were admitted to a prestigious school, but I failed. What do you say about me..." Zhu Yanfeng said again, "Not only can't I say, I can't even see you. I can’t see you anymore. During that time, I organized several class reunions, and you promised to come every time, but you didn’t come every time... Some classmates made sarcastic remarks to me, saying that you were admitted to a famous university. Put your classmates in your eyes."
Lu Mi was speechless for a while, not to mention how wronged she was, only God knows that during that time, because her parents didn't want her to go to college, so there was no way to pay for her tuition fees, at that time she was thinking of becoming a prostitute, how could she How do you feel to participate in the affectionate class reunion? !
At this juncture, the dishes they ordered came to the table one after another. Each dish was very delicately prepared and served on ivory white disks. Red is red and green is green. It looks like a handicraft, but it tastes like a It's full of flavors, but it's a pity that the amount is too small.Zhu Yanfeng explained that this is to make the guests feel that they are not satisfied, so that they will not hurt their spleen and stomach because of the delicious food, and it is also a new culture in the catering industry.
After eating for a while, Lu Mi said: "Zhu Yanfeng, I was quite moved after hearing so much from you just now. Some of the bad things I did when I was young, I even forgot, but you still remember the details... But everyone has their own way of life, and I already have a boyfriend now..."
"I know you have a boyfriend, and your boyfriend's name is Hu Zichong. I also know that you have a very good relationship and are planning to get married."
"Since you know everything, why do you still tell me the previous things? According to my point of view, some things are the essence of a lifetime if they are not spoken out. If they are spoken out, they will become dross and garbage."
Zhu Yanfeng said: "I have my reason for saying it, Lu Mi, if your brother is not sick, I can only watch you marry someone else and keep silent, but isn't my chance now? Beard Chong doesn’t have the money to help your brother treat his illness, but I do, and I can bear all the expenses your brother needs.”
"Then aren't you taking advantage of others' danger?"
"How is this taking advantage of others? I neither forced you nor threatened or harmed you. I just expressed my strength to give you one more choice. In this era, even when it comes to relationships, strength is important. That kind of so-called pure and pure love is nothing more than a flower in a mirror, and it is just a drug for people's spirit."
When he said these words, Zhu Yanfeng seemed calm and composed. His aura of a little superman made Lu Mi feel very uncomfortable.Lu Mi thought to himself, what you said is right, and every word is right.But you have forgotten one of the most common sense truths, that is, I don't love you, I don't feel like being with you, and it is impossible for me to choose to live tied to you for the rest of my life.And Hu Zichong is the whole of my emotional life, and it is always fun for me to quarrel with him.
Zhu Yanfeng seemed to see through Lu Mi's thoughts, and he still said calmly: "I actually have many advantages. After a long time, you will definitely like me."
Lu Mi laughed again: "Why are you acting like a politician soliciting votes?"
"Sometimes marriage itself is an election, and I will win more votes." Zhu Yanfeng said to Lu Mi very seriously, and smiled a little complacently.
In the evening when Lu Mi returned to her residence, she wanted to tell Zi Chong about it as a joke, but Zi Chong did not come back after working overtime at the company, so she had no choice but to keep silent and didn't take it to heart.
On Thursday afternoon, Lu Mi went to the hospital to accompany Lu Zheng to have a special examination. It is said that due to cost issues, all patients in the hospital only have one examination a week.Sure enough, the price was a bargain, and this inspection cost more than 200 yuan. Lu Mi was stupid at the time.
Lu Mi returned to the ward almost crying without tears, but saw his mother and sister-in-law talking to his brother with happy faces. Since his brother fell ill, he had never seen them have such expressions.
Seeing Lu Mi, mother came over with a rare smile, and said to Lu Mi: "Let's go outside for a walk."
At a loss, Lu Mi followed his mother to the corridor outside the inpatient building, and his mother said in the first sentence: "Mi'er, I never expected you to be our family's savior."
Lu Mi thought to himself, I am so worried that my face is green now, I only feel that I am a broom star, how can I dare to think of anything good?
Mother then told Lu Mi the whole story.
It turned out that what Zhu Yanfeng said when he had dinner with Lu Mi was not just talking. After that, he started a huge and passionate pursuit offensive. He first sent someone to Lu Mi's house to formally propose marriage, and then called his assistant Went to the hospital to pay off all the debts owed by Lu Zheng, not only that, but also pledged a considerable amount of advance payment.
Not to mention, Zhu Yanfeng personally invited her whole family, except Lu Mi, to have a meal of authentic Chaozhou cuisine at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city.When paying the bill, my father ordered a stick of Chunghwa cigarettes, and my mother ordered three catties of the best California grapes, which were also Lu Zheng's favorite.Hearing this, Lu Mi wished that there was a crack in the ground and slipped into it herself. She thought, it seems that Zhu Yanfeng really started to solicit votes, but her parents clearly knew that she had a boyfriend, but they behaved like this It was not satisfactory, which made her feel very shameless, especially when her mother kept praising Yanfeng for being decent, not only for his appearance, but also for his actions.
Lu Mi never dared to contradict his mother since he was a child, but now he was a little anxious, "Mom, don't think about it, if Zi Chong finds out about this, he won't die of anger?!"
"Why is he angry? Aren't you not married yet?"
"But we're definitely going to get married."
"Not necessarily."
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Mi'er, mom is not a person who is open to money. When you brought Zi Chong home and saw that you liked him so much, I didn't say anything... But the situation is different now. Your brother has such a serious illness. disease, and this disease can be cured if you have money, but is Zi Chong able to help us?"
Lu Mi's head buzzed. She really didn't expect her mother to say such a thing, and she didn't know how to respond.
The mother continued: "So, Mier, your father and I discussed it last night. We hope you will move back home and agree to marry Zhu Yanfeng at the same time."
Lu Mi lowered his face and said, "What about Zi Chong?"
"There are plenty of good girls, and you don't owe him anything."
"I will not separate from Zi Chong."
"What's wrong with Zhu Yanfeng? In terms of appearance, talent, and economic strength, what point can he not compare to Hu Zichong?!"
"But I don't like Zhu Yanfeng. Marriage is a lifetime thing."
The mother suddenly became angry, and reprimanded Lu Mi sharply: "Are you just watching your brother die? Your brother is like this now, and you are still thinking about your happiness. Our whole family saves money for you to go to college. What you can give us in return is selfishness, right? You talk?!"
Lu Mi was speechless, and at the same time, her mind seemed to be overturned. She thought that it was because she went to university that she understood that human beings have dignity, and that all reasonable needs of human nature must be respected. Selling and exchanging herself under the circumstances is a manifestation of ignorance and ignorance, and all these principles are what she learned in college.And what is the difference between the mother's request for her and the change of relatives in the rural and backward areas?
That night, Xiong Jingwen came to look for Lu Mi. Although they were sisters-in-law in the past, they didn't get so close, so it was almost uncommon for them to meet alone in the coffee shop like tonight.
Xiong Jingwen was born as a preschool teacher, which made her voice, tone, and sense of language a bit like coaxing children. She said to Lu Mi: "Lu Mi, I know that you and Zi Chong have a deep relationship, and your combination It is also a choice of love in the true sense. Compared with those girls in society who only know how to worship money, they can't compare with you. But your brother's situation is too serious now, let's not talk about your brother How he treats you, I think you know this best, just say that you are blood relatives who have broken bones and muscles, do you think you can just ignore him?"
Lu Mi sat opposite to Jing Wen, she lowered her head slightly, subconsciously turning the cup of orange water with both hands, because Jing Wen's words were gentle and powerful, Lu Mi's expression was involuntarily like someone who did something wrong child.
Jingwen said again: "You know Lu Mi, if you can give up your own happiness to save your brother, it will be a good story, and it is not inferior to the good story of love at all, don't you think so?"
Lu Mi raised her head, but she dared not look into Jing Wen's eyes, which were full of longing, prayer, hope and sadness... Lu Mi was very worried that Jing Wen would kneel in front of her inadvertently, then She wasn't sure what she would promise her.On the other hand, she felt that both her mother and Jingwen were cruel and ruthless to her. She even described them as vicious. No matter what attitude they treated her, she was so stubborn in her heart .
Because they only had her brother in their hearts, in her young memory, she couldn't remember what her mother and sister-in-law had done for her. Of course, they didn't treat her badly or mean her, but their neglect of her really made her hard to let go.
Or to put it another way, even if she is willing to make such a sacrifice for her brother, it should be her own decision.She emphasized the word willingly, so the more they forced her, the harder and colder her heart became.
Lu Mi couldn't remember how he left the coffee shop and returned to his residence.
After entering the room, she realized that Zi Chong hadn't come back, and the room looked unusually deserted. Lu Mi went to the window and looked at the boundless night. She thought, why the life principles that she learned in college can be said to be helpful. She formed a world view, but as a result, as soon as she faced life, these reinforced concrete concepts melted into water like ice cubes.
Not to mention getting married for love, even if she insisted on something for love, that would be treasonous.
To put it bluntly, if she is willing to bury her brother, I believe her mother will agree.Has this world really evolved?Has it really entered the era of network, moon landing, and electronic integration?
At this moment Beard rushed back.
Lu Mi stood up from the sofa, feeling that there was something to say but didn't know where to start: "Are you working overtime again today?"
"No," Zi Chong said with a gloomy expression, "Your father came to the company to look for me..."
"What... what did he tell you?"
"Let's be honest, I want to marry you to Zhu Yanfeng... and said that your family has discussed the decision for three days and three nights."
"Then how did you answer him?"
"I disagree, I said it because I love Lu Mi."
Lu Mi's tears flowed out as if he had heard an order, Zi Chong didn't know why Lu Mi was crying, he continued: "I don't know what you think, anyway, I think we postpone the marriage, take out I have spent all my savings and tried my best, but if you are willing to marry Zhu Yanfeng to save your brother, I understand, because I am not capable, but if the whole family forces you, I think it is unfair..."
Lu Mi originally wanted to say, that's what I thought.But she couldn't stop her sadness, she couldn't speak at all, she knew it would lead to crying.
She couldn't give up on Zi Chong from the bottom of her heart, because they shared a heart, and what he said was destined to be the sentence she wanted to hear the most.For a girl who lacked love since she was a child, this is what she is willing to hold on to, and at the same time, this is all Lu Mi has.
Zhu Yanfeng is an upright gentleman. After he learned that Lu Mi was unwilling to give up his love, he stopped his vigorous pursuit.He called Lu Mi and said, I respect your decision, but you can change it at any time, because as long as you don't get married, it is my hope.
After that, he no longer harassed Lu Mi.
However, it was Zhu Yanfeng's intervention that caused the sudden disturbance in the Lu family.
Anyone who has been in a hospital knows that as long as your money becomes medical expenses, it will flow away like water.Of course, Lu Zheng was no exception. The deposit that Zhu Yanfeng paid in advance for him was like a river of spring water flowing eastward. After it bottomed out, a warning red light appeared on his medical bill, and the computer automatically blocked all the medicines for treatment, and the Lu family started again. Cobble together money to send to the hospital.
Lu Zheng was originally doing dialysis three times a week, then changed it to two times, and then changed it to three times a week. In short, when the day of dialysis was approaching, due to the accumulation of toxins in his body, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and it could even be said to be painful Unbearable, his body showed symptoms of acidosis.Lu Zheng can often smell the urine smell coming from his body, and he feels that he has lost his dignity as a human being like a pig urine bubble.
He became more withdrawn and sometimes lost his temper.
The Lu family did not tell Lu Zheng about Zhu Yanfeng. Not only did they not, but in front of him, the family members seemed calm and harmonious whether they came to visit, deliver meals, or take turns doing nursing work.
But as soon as they left the hospital, their parents began to scold Lu Mi for being vicious. Seeing her brother in such misery, she was not moved. Xiong Jingwen was also completely disappointed in Lu Mi. She said that Lu Mi was a seed of evil, and you just watered it with blood. It is also impossible to bloom kind flowers.
In fact, Lu Mi saw that his brother's treatment was hindered, and the second operation was nowhere in sight, how could he not be anxious?But this is a disease, a disease is a natural disaster, no one has the ability to rejuvenate, how can we put the blame on her?Besides, she also went to ask the doctor. The doctor said that money is of course a big problem, but money alone cannot be said to solve the problem [-]%. I have several million in my hands, and I dare not guarantee that your brother will be saved.
But the Lu family doesn't care about these things, for Lu Zheng's parents and wife, it is impossible for them to think rationally, they just feel that Lu Mi did not stand up at this moment of life and death, and this is what they can't forgive her for.
Of course, in front of Lu Zheng, they tried their best to maintain a group of harmony. They felt that letting Lu Zheng see Lu Mi's ugly face was undoubtedly the biggest blow and harm to the patient.Mother always said some reassuring words to Lu Zheng, she said you don't have to think about money, I have money.
Lu Zheng sighed, what money do you have?I know that the family has long been destitute.
Of course I am rich, Lu Zheng's mother said, when I was young, I was also very popular with men like Mi Er, they even gave me a gold necklace.
I bet you never even saw a gold necklace back then.Lu Zheng said firmly.
The mother patted Lu Zheng, smiled and said look at you child.
One day, when Lu Mi came to see Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng suddenly said, "Little sister, when will you marry Zi Chong?"
Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Brother, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Lu Zheng said: "These two times when I came to see me, I felt that he seemed a little depressed. He was not like this in the past. He was a simple and happy person... I know that my illness must have affected you. Mom must be with me. Do you want money?..."
"Brother, don't talk about it, how can you affect us... Zi Chong is unhappy because of his promotion."
"Zichong is not an official fan. If he is unhappy, it will only be because of his feelings. I have rarely seen a person as affectionate and passionate as him. Little sister, you should cherish your fate."
Lu Mi couldn't help but said helplessly: "But don't you think that people who are very suitable are often undestined?"
Lu Zheng didn't speak immediately, he glanced at Lu Mi, then looked into the distance and said: "If I can see you getting married, I will be relieved."
That night, Lu Mi was a little shaken. She thought that even if her brother could guarantee three dialysis sessions a week, she should marry Zhu Yanfeng.
Although she didn't say a word, and she slept with her back to Zichong, Zichong still said behind her: "Lu Mi, don't make things too difficult, I promise you, no matter what choice you make, I will can understand you, and I will accept it calmly."
Usually at times like this, it would be Lu Mi crying and falling into Zi Chong's arms, but this time Lu Mi looked very calm, and she said: "All my pain is that I have no choice. In fact, I don't mind using a long I spend my whole life guarding someone I don’t love, but because, if I let go of someone I love, what’s the difference from giving up my brother?”
This time, it was Zi Chong who fell on Lu Mi's body, and he hugged her tightly, Lu Mi felt his face was wet.
