Jiang Mingzhu drank tea and listened to the content of their call.
The environment in the restaurant was somewhat noisy. She couldn't hear what Xu Yingfei said on the other side of the phone, but she could tell from Zhou Li's response that they were talking about birthdays.
Jiang Mingzhu was not surprised by this.
Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei are so "loving". Zhou Li had made such a big fuss on Xu Yingfei's birthday, and Xu Yingfei would definitely reciprocate.
Jiang Mingzhu was ready to be invited by Xu Yingfei.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhu's smile grew thicker.
"Well, you make arrangements, I have no idea." After Zhou Li said this, he hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, she saw Jiang Mingzhu tilting her head and looking at him with a bright smile.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is it your birthday?"
Zhou Li: "It has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Just ask, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
She had a joking tone and didn't seem to care much about whether he wanted to celebrate his birthday.
While we were talking, the waiter brought the casserole and porridge. Jiang Mingzhu directly asked the waiter to put the casserole in front of Zhou Li.
"This is delicious, you try it." She seemed to be chatting with a normal friend, and handed him the spoon.
Zhou Li took it, took a sip, and said three words coldly: "It doesn't taste good."
Jiang Mingzhu simply ignored him, pointed her chopsticks at the crystal shrimp dumplings, and put them into her mouth happily.
Dragging Zhou Li to see a doctor was really tiring work. Jiang Mingzhu hadn't been so hungry for a long time.
——
When lunch was almost over, Jiang Mingzhu received a report generation reminder in her hand.
After it was over, she immediately took Zhou Li back to the hospital and took all the reports from the printer.
The doctor who consulted me in the afternoon was the same as in the morning.
After getting the report, the doctor read it carefully.
Jiang Mingzhu stood still a little nervous, her hands clenched into fists, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from her palms.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Doctor, how are the indicators?"
Doctor: "Everything is normal."
He flipped through the report and saw nothing unusual from beginning to end. "The patient's stomach is fine. Is it because of the pain in other places?"
Jiang Mingzhu frowned when she heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Zhou Li.
Zhou Li: "I told you it would be fine."
Jiang Mingzhu: "But he turned pale in pain and coughed up blood. Is that okay? Was there a misdiagnosis in the report?"
Doctor: "Sometimes the stomach will throb for no reason, and coughing up blood may be caused by pharyngitis, not necessarily a gastric problem. According to the test results, Mr. Zhou's stomach is very healthy. If you are worried, you can make an appointment for a full-body doctor." Physical examination."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, thank you."
——
Jiang Mingzhu has been silent since coming out of the doctor's office.
She lowered her head as she walked, her brain running at top speed, and she quickly guessed a certain possibility.
——Liang Cong was really deceiving her before.
You don't need to think about it to know who ordered it.
Jiang Mingzhu glanced sideways at Zhou Li beside him, he still looked cold.
They look really alike.
Also, Zhou Li was originally a good actor, and when he really acted, she had to feel inferior.
Jiang Mingzhu is now deeply aware that she was tricked today, and she is not in a good mood.
Walking to the parking lot, Jiang Mingzhu handed the car key directly to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li glanced at it but didn't take it.
Jiang Mingzhu: "The doctor said you are fine, so I will leave first."
Zhou Li: "Whoever drove here will drive back."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You can't bear to leave me?"
Zhou Li: "..."
Seeing his stubborn mouth, Jiang Mingzhu felt rebellious.
She took it out directly
Call Liang Cong.
"Liang Zhu, from the basement of Ruihe Hospital, come to take Mr. Zhou back. I have something to do in the afternoon. Goodbye."
Jiang Mingzhu said this in one breath and hung up the phone without giving Liang Cong a chance to respond.
Liang Cong and Zhou Lihang are working together, and they will definitely find various excuses to refuse at this time.
After making the call, Jiang Mingzhu threw the keys at the front of the car and turned around gracefully.
Zhou Li didn't call her a word during the whole process.
——
In the evening, Jiang Mingzhu, Fu Xiaozhi and Fang Qinyang had a meal together.
During the meal, Jiang Mingzhu told her about taking Zhou Li to the hospital today.
After listening carefully, Fang Qinyang showed a confused expression: "Is he really pretending? So many times?"
"Is there some misunderstanding?" Such a childish approach does not fit well with Zhou Li's style.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Let me tell you, his body is as strong as an ox, why did he suddenly cough up blood... He was co-writing and acting."
Jiang Mingzhu: "The acting is pretty good."
If she hadn't forced him to have a check-up today, she might have been deceived and worried about his health all day long.
Fang Qinyang: "Does this mean that he has no sense of security? I want to confirm his position in your heart..."
After analyzing this, Fang Qinyang frowned, "Then you left him like this today. Doesn't he think you don't want him anymore?"
Fu Xiaozhi touched his temple: "Why is he so difficult to deal with?"
She turned to look at Jiang Mingzhu, "Zhuzhu, what are you going to do? Are you still coaxing me?"
Jiang Mingzhu shook her head, "Let him get used to it."
She does have a good temper. She used to be the one who took the blame. Recently, she has been extremely indulgent towards Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu has never chased a man before. She doesn't know if other men chase her like this.
But Zhou Li is really difficult to deal with.
No matter what I do, I can't coax him.
Fang Qinyang and Fu Xiaozhi didn't have much experience in love, so they couldn't give Jiang Mingzhu any good advice.
Finally, Fu Xiaozhi called Yuanye over via WeChat.
Yuanye happened to be free after returning from a business trip, so he came to the restaurant to have a meal with them.
Yuanye sat next to Jiang Mingzhu, and the first thing he asked her was: "How are you and fourth brother doing lately?"
Fu Xiaozhi told Yuanye about Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei's drama before. After Yuanye found out, he was even more sure that Zhou Li had never forgotten Jiang Mingzhu.
So it was only a matter of time before they got back together.
The key depends on when Zhou Li's awkwardness will pass.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Not very good."
Yuan Ye: "What's wrong?"
Before Jiang Mingzhu could answer, Fu Xiaozhi and Fang Qinyang told Yuan Ye about the recent events.
After Fu Xiaozhi finished speaking, she felt that Zhou Li was even more outrageous. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "As a man, can you analyze for me what kind of mentality he has on Thursday? What does he really want?"
Fang Qinyang: "It's easy to understand that he feels insecure because of what happened back then. Zhuzhu is also trying to coax him, but he still pretends to be cold."
"Since I know it's just pretending, why are you so anxious?" Yuanye drank her herbal tea leisurely, "If you can't coax her well, don't coax her. Anyway, the anxious person is definitely not Zhuzhu."
"The fourth brother's torment now is nothing more than twisting his own tongue. At the same time, he wants Zhuzhu to coax him, but at the same time he doesn't want to be coaxed so easily by her. Just give him some time to figure it out." Yuanye suggested to Jiang Mingzhu, "Distance creates beauty. , understand."
