Jiang Mingzhu was blocked by a car that suddenly appeared, and then she raised her head to look at it.
"Why are you so wet?" Xu Siyan opened the car door and got out. When he got up, he pulled Jiang Mingzhu towards the car.
Jiang Mingzhu was so confused that she had forgotten to struggle.
Xu Siyan took a blanket from the back row and handed it to Jiang Mingzhu, "Wipe it first."
Jiang Mingzhu sat motionless in the passenger seat.
Xu Siyan knew that it was impossible for her to do anything, so he simply wiped her face and hair himself, and then put the blanket on her body to cover her soaked clothes.
After starting the car, Xu Siyan asked Jiang Mingzhu: "How is it?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Let's make it clear."
Xu Siyan: "What did fourth brother say?"
Jiang Mingzhu laughed and asked, "Isn't the way I am now the best answer?"
Xu Siyan: "..."
indeed so.
He saw Jiang Mingzhu walking on the road near Yushui Bay in the rain and basically guessed the answer.
It’s just that people never give up, and they can’t help but want to ask more: “Have all the details been explained clearly?”
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
Xu Siyan choked and didn't know how to comfort her.
At this time, Jiang Mingzhu forced out a smile and said, "It's okay, you don't need to comfort me. I thought of this day when I made the choice."
Xu Siyan: "Then you..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I fought for it and explained it clearly. The rest is his freedom."
"By the way, don't go looking for him." Jiang Mingzhu completely guessed what Xu Siyan would do, "Leave me the last bit of dignity."
Xu Siyan was speechless.
Jiang Mingzhu started sneezing on the way back.
She had undergone a major operation, and her body was not as good as that of ordinary people. She could easily get sick if she caught a cold in the rain.
After Xu Siyan sent Jiang Mingzhu back to the hotel, he immediately went to a nearby pharmacy to buy cold medicine. He watched Jiang Mingzhu drink it before being driven away by her.
After the cold medicine took effect, Jiang Mingzhu fell into a drowsy sleep.
When she woke up again, she discovered that she had developed a high fever while sleeping.
——
Twelve o'clock in the morning.
After Zhou Li took a shower, he walked into the study with a damp smell.
He walked to the bookcase, turned on the switch of the darkroom with skillful movements, and walked in alone.
Zhou Li stopped in front of the password cabinet and entered the six-digit password with his long fingers.
After the cabinet door was opened, Zhou Li took out all the pile of documents inside and placed them on the table.
Without exception, all are hospital diagnosis certificates and examination reports, both in English and German.
Zhou Li picked up one of the medical certificates, which was exactly the same as the one Jiang Mingzhu handed him today.
He remembered clearly that this was the diagnosis the hospital gave her after her first systematic examination after going to Berlin.
On the table are all Jiang Mingzhu’s medical records and examination reports in Berlin, spanning two years.
Zhou Li only got the information in early August.
He stared at the medical certificate in his hand for a long time, the self-mockery in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
When Jiang Mingzhu married Yuanye and flew to Berlin immediately after the marriage, he knew very well that Jiang Mingzhu was trying to avoid him.
Later, he overheard Xu Siyan's phone call and knew the reason why Jiang Mingzhu flew to Berlin.
But everyone thought he didn't know.
When Jiang Mingzhu encounters such a serious illness, she can let Xu Siyan know and Yuan Ye can know, but she must hide it from him.
From beginning to end, he was not in her life plan.
As she said, if it weren't for Pei Ye's revenge, she would never stay with someone like him.
After all the dust settles, he will definitely be the one given up.
Jiang Mingzhu may be interested in him
She had a crush on him, but that was it, otherwise she would not have given up on him so decisively.
After Xu Siyan's phone call, Zhou Li never checked anything about Jiang Mingzhu.
He told himself that whether she lived or died, whether the operation was successful or not, had nothing to do with him.
During this period, he devoted all his time to work.
People around him also knew that the name Jiang Mingzhu was his reverse scale, so no one would ever mention it.
When he was busy, Zhou Li didn't think of her much.
When he thinks he has forgotten, there will be a dream to remind him how profound the memory is.
Zhou Li ignored Jiang Mingzhu for almost two years.
Until August, at a friend's gathering, Yuanye and Xu Siyan went out to talk together, and he overheard them.
Yuanye said that Jiang Mingzhu will be back next month.
Later, the two of them talked a lot about Jiang Mingzhu, mentioning words like hospital, treatment, and examination.
The news he accidentally learned that time was like opening Pandora's box, releasing all the desires he had locked deep for two years.
He used his connections in Berlin to find out all of Jiang Mingzhu's medical treatment, examination and surgery records.
Judging from these records, Jiang Mingzhu's original surgery was successful.
She also received psychological treatment after the operation, and not only overcame gastric cancer, but also bipolar disorder.
Judging from the medical certificate alone, Jiang Mingzhu has become a physically and mentally healthy person.
But Zhou Li didn't really believe it when he saw these results——
After all, she has a history of deceiving a psychiatrist.
So after much struggle, he bought a plane ticket to Berlin and created the chance encounter when she went to the hospital for a review.
She was indeed doing well.
In the parallel world without him, I am happy and healthy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Li laughed to himself and threw down the medical certificate.
Zhou Li walked to the sofa and sat down, opened a bottle of liquor on the coffee table next to him, and took a long sip.
The scalding wine flowed down his esophagus and into his stomach. He stared at the far wall, replaying Jiang Mingzhu's previous confession in his mind.
Jiang Mingzhu offered to talk to him today, but Zhou Li did not expect that this was what she wanted to mention.
He thought that with her proud temperament, she would hide it from him forever.
Until she handed him the hospital diagnosis certificate.
He listened expressionlessly as she finished explaining her original journey.
She spoke so nicely and so honestly.
Zhou Li thought that this should be the most honest time Jiang Mingzhu has ever been to him without asking for anything else.
But should he be happy?
Or, as others thought, she put her finger on it and excused everything.
Zhou Li grabbed the wine bottle and took another sip. This time he drank half of the bottle.
——
The next day Mingchuan and Yanhe had a meeting here.
Jiang Mingzhu was originally scheduled to attend, but was temporarily replaced by another colleague.
When Liang Cong saw that the person coming was not Jiang Mingzhu, he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Li's expression.
His face looked even uglier than before.
Liang Cong went directly to ask that person: "Why isn't it Jiang Zhu?"
The colleague said: "Jiang Zhu has a fever, please let me take care of her."
Liang Cong looked at Zhou Li again: "You have a fever? You were fine yesterday afternoon."
Colleague: "That's not clear. I'm really sorry."
Stab.
Zhou Li got up from his chair, "I have something to do and the meeting is cancelled."
