There was almost no one in the corridor. Although the conversation between the two of them was not loud, every word fell into Ruan Yi's eardrums clearly.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Ruan Yi did not recover from the shock until Xu Siyan and Zhou Li disappeared.
Ruan Yi rarely eavesdrops on other people's conversations. This must be the first time in her life that she has been so secretive.
It's just because she really needs to figure out the relationship between these three people, and the ins and outs will affect her next decision.
Ruan Yi had been thinking about it for a long time but had no clue. Today, the truth was before her eyes and it took her a long time to digest it.
In fact, the conversation between Xu Siyan and Zhou Li just now was not particularly clear, but the focus of the conflict was clearly explained.
In order to hide some things from Zhou Li, Jiang Mingzhu pulled Xu Siyan into a scene of empathizing with each other, just to make Zhou Li give up.
Xu Siyan said, "I don't want you to experience her pain again." There may be other stories behind this.
Ruan Yi didn't know what happened to Jiang Mingzhu, and why she had to drag Xu Siyan to act. After thinking about it calmly, she speculated that there might be something wrong with Jiang Mingzhu's body, and she no longer had the willpower to survive.
But now she is back intact. From what Zhou Li meant, Jiang Mingzhu probably came to reconcile with him.
That means her body has recovered.
As for Xu Siyan...as he said, Jiang Mingzhu doesn't love him.
But Ruan Yi can be sure that Xu Siyan loves Jiang Mingzhu, or in other words, he cares about Jiang Mingzhu.
Otherwise, he would not waste so much energy on Jiang Mingzhu's matter, and even come to "match up" her and Zhou Li.
Being able to make Xu Siyan make such a "sacrifice" only shows that his love for Jiang Mingzhu has exceeded certain boundaries.
Some things had been expected in her heart, but the reality seemed to be crueler than she imagined.
Ruan Yi felt her chest tightening. She raised her hand to touch it and pursed her lips gently.
Ruan Yi thought that if Xu Siyan and Jiang Mingzhu were consensual, she might be more accepting.
Compared with the former, Xu Siyan's unilateral "great" move made her realize the cruelty of reality: even if Jiang Mingzhu had no feelings for him, he was still willing to pay unconditionally for Jiang Mingzhu.
What level of love is this?
If I think about it further, it seems like I am just asking for humiliation.
Ruan Yi took a deep breath, forced himself back to reason, and then walked out of the hospital area to buy something for Ling Wei.
Although he tried his best to control his emotions, Ruan Yi was still confused when he went to the supermarket, and he would think about Xu Siyan from time to time.
When Ruan Yi bought the things and returned to the ward, his face was still pale.
She has cold fair skin and usually doesn't wear makeup. When her face turns pale, it's especially obvious. Ling Wei can tell something is wrong at a glance.
As soon as Ruan Yi put down her things and approached, Ling Wei asked her, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly. Could it be that I infected you?"
Ruan Yi shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay."
Ling Wei: "Stop laughing. Laughing is uglier than crying."
Her voice sounded more helpless, "If you don't mind, tell me what's going on?"
Ling Wei and Ruan Yi have known each other for almost a year because of work. In her impression, Ruan Yi has always been a very emotionally stable person. Even if he encounters particularly difficult situations at work, he is calm and unhurried. The design drawing was temporarily withdrawn. Back home, she never lost her temper.
People like Ling Wei, who have been in the workplace for so many years, are impressed by her stable mood.
To make Ruan Yi look so ugly, something big must have happened.
Ruan Yi was silenced by Ling Wei's words. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he just didn't know how to speak.
Ruan Yi has been quiet since she was a child and has not taken the initiative to socialize. She has not had many friends around her in the past few years. Marrying Xu Siyan is not a very glamorous thing. She has never mentioned it to others.
Seeing that Ruan Yi didn't speak for a long time, Ling Wei smiled and comforted: "Okay, it's okay if you don't say anything. I respect your privacy."
Ruan Yi: "No, I just don't know how to say it. It's a bit confusing."
Ling Wei: "Then you can organize your language slowly, I don't mind."
She raised her head and glanced at the IV bottle, "My infusion is pretty boring anyway."
Ruan Yi: "It's about my...marriage."
Ling Wei's smile froze on her face: "What marriage? Are you married?"
Ruan Yi nodded lightly.
It's no wonder that Ling Wei was surprised. When she usually had video meetings with Ruan Yi, she was alone at home and couldn't see the man at all. As a result, she always thought that Ruan Yi was a young woman living alone.
Ling Wei: "Your husband..."
"Things between us are rather complicated. He doesn't like me, but he has to marry me because something happened." Ruan Yi did not go into details, but just gave a general summary: "You can understand that I used some Means got him to marry me.”
Ling Wei immediately guessed what happened next: "So he coldly beat you and let you experience a widowed marriage?"
Ruan Yi: "It's not his fault. It was my fault from the beginning."
Ling Wei: "Then do you like him?"
Ruan Yi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ling Wei saw her reaction and already guessed: "I like it, right?"
"Whether he likes me or not, it's actually not that important." Ruan Yi avoided the topic, "He doesn't like me, so there's not much point in discussing this."
Ling Wei: "From what you're saying, does he have someone he likes?"
Ruan Yi: "I have been considering divorce for a long time. Before, I thought that he and the person he liked were in love, and I didn't want to delay them."
Ling Wei: "Aren't they in love?"
Ruan Yi: "Well, I just found out."
She smiled bitterly, "I just heard him helping the person he likes to chase another man. This seems to be worse than them being in love."
Ling Wei: "..."
To what extent is this love so great?
It sounds a bit like licking a dog.
Ling Wei just sighed in her heart, there were some things that she couldn't say in front of Ruan Yi, after all, she was already so uncomfortable.
After Ruan Yi said these words, he took a long breath. Maybe he had been holding it in for too long. After holding it in for too long, he said it in one breath, and he felt much better.
She thanked Ling Wei: "Thank you for hearing what I said."
Ling Wei: "There's nothing to thank you for, I didn't give you any constructive ideas."
She paused and observed Ruan Yi's expression: "Do you still want a divorce now?"
Ruan Yi fell silent when Ling Wei asked.
She was relatively determined to divorce Xu Siyan and Jiang Mingzhu before, but now she knows that they have never been together, and the decision to divorce seems to have no meaning.
Of course, it doesn't make much sense for this marriage to continue...
Her life is no different than when she was single.
It seemed that no matter which path I chose, I was unhappy, probably because getting married was a mistake from the beginning.
Ling Wei noticed Ruan Yi's hesitation and asked her, "Is there anything else in this marriage that makes you nostalgic?"
