Qu Jiarans expression was extremely strange, as if she was smiling, but also as if she was looking cold.
She stared directly at him, suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Tan Linyuans collar, and brought her face extremely close to his.
"Tan Linyuan, have you still not recognized the situation?"
Her forehead was pressed against his, her voice was eerie, and she said with a smile: "You are the same as me, we are the same kind of people."
"Rats like us who cannot be seen in the light should stay in the sewers, and obediently go to hell, instead of trying to get something that we cannot have."
"People like you do not deserve Yuyu."
...
Although the operation was successfully completed, the subsequent recovery and convalescence treatments were also extremely important.
Qu Jiarans heart was originally weaker than an ordinary persons, so the recovery period would naturally be longer, and the requirements would be more strict.
She still needed to have tubes stuck all over her body for real-time monitoring, and was more restricted than before the operation.
The doctor came in to give Qu Jiarans an IV drip, so Tan Linyuan walked out.
Qi Zhu was waiting outside.
He had already changed his pants, but the trouser leg of his right leg was rolled up, and there was a distinct red burn mark on his skin.
Tan Linyuan retracted his gaze, and said in a light tone: "Find a nurse to treat it, do not carry it yourself."
"It is not a problem, Mr. Tan." Qi Zhu replied, "I have to guard Miss Qu, and I can go later after she falls asleep."
The number one priority must be Qu Jiaran.
Since he was arranged to be by Qu Jiarans side, Qi Zhu had not let down his guard for a single moment in protecting Qu Jiaran.
When it came to dedication, he was undoubtedly the best.
With Qu Jiarans special situation, the fact that he could still stay behind with no complaints was also very difficult.
Otherwise, with Qi Zhus physical skills, even if he went to be a bodyguard for other young masters or young ladies, he could still receive a hefty salary, and would not have to expend too much energy.
At least it would be much more worry-free than taking care of Qu Jiaran.
"Qi Zhu, have you thought of changing your job?" Tan Linyuan said in a slow tone.
Qi Zhu was stunned, and only took one second to digest the content of his words before immediately rejecting it: "Thank you Mr. Tan, I currently have no intention of changing my employer."
"Do you not feel tired?"
"I do not feel tired." Qi Zhu straightened his back, "Miss Qu is very good, and I am duty-bound to protect her."
Tan Linyuans gaze moved to Qi Zhus face.
His eyes were like a layer of thin fog, and swept across Qi Zhus face, emotionless and without any ripples.
If he did not remember wrongly, Qi Zhu had already been Qu Jiarans personal bodyguard for five years.
Before Qi Zhu, Qu Jiaran had changed countless bodyguards.
He was the only one who could stay by her side until now.
Rather than saying that he stayed, it was better to say that he could not be chased away.
People were coming and going in the hospitals corridor, and Tan Linyuans voice came over in a calm tone: "Qi Zhu, you should let go of your obsession earlier, she is no longer the Qu Jiaran from before."
The Qu Jiaran from before was bright, flamboyant, beautiful, and charming.
Qi Zhus face showed a bit of indignation, but his tone was still respectful: "Mr. Tan, I do not understand what you mean."
"In my heart, Miss Qu has always been the same."
Tan Linyuan was silent.
After experiencing so many twists and turns, he thought that he had already seen through human hearts, understood the worlds evil, and clearly knew the worlds "grey" part.
But there were still people who were like "fools", persisting for a result that did not exist, and struggling for a so-called fate.
He once thought that this was useless.
A persons fate had already been written, and the heavens path was also just a repeated cycle, and could not withstand any changes.
Whether it was a human or a god, they were treated equally.
-
Jiangcheng was by the river, and was a southern city, so it basically rarely snowed in the winter, but there was no lack of continuous rain.
Compared to the heavy snow, this continuous rainy season seemed even more difficult to endure.
It had been raining for five or six days in a row, and it was only this morning that there was a tendency for it to clear up, but before half an hour passed, it started to rain again.
Nan Yus mood was as bad as the rain.
Qu Jiarans wedding was over, and no one knew about the heart-stopping farce that happened at that time, only that the wedding ceremony was completed.
Qu Jiarans hospitalization was also beautified as a routine inspection and treatment, in order to prepare for the two of them to conceive in the future.
Nan Yu heard news about Tan Linyuan from other peoples mouths. Once, it was from the gossip news, saying that there was serious infighting within the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce; another time, it was that he had once again closed himself off, in order to pray for Qu Jiarans safety and health.
When she heard these familiar names in the company, Nan Yu still felt dazed, and had a sense of strangeness.
Everything was as Nan Yu said at that time, she was gradually fading out of their lives.
One night, when Nan Yu returned home, she saw that the lamp on the side near the French window was lit, and she subconsciously thought that it was Tan Linyuan.
But when she opened the door and saw that the entire villa was empty, she only then remembered -
The lamp was turned on by herself, and she had been in too much of a hurry when she left in the morning, so she had forgotten to turn it off.
After coming to this conclusion, Nan Yu had an indescribable mood, and even felt a bit self-mocking.
What was she expecting?
It turned out that forgetting the feelings for a person, just like treating an injury, required time.
It required a lot of time.
...
A month had passed, and Shen Yanche had come looking for her, asking around about when Nan Yu was free.
Nan Yu used all sorts of reasons to avoid him, and even once proposed to cancel returning to the ancestral residence, but was rejected by Shen Yanche.
His reason was also very simple, the wedding had already been postponed, and if they did not even return to the ancestral residence, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
It was another rainy day.
When it rained for a long time, there would be a sense of dampness that seeped into the bones, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Nan Yu was feeling this way at the moment.
Especially when she was sitting in Shen Yanche's car right now, on the way to the Shen Family's ancestral residence.
The car was moving very slowly, and the wheels that rolled over the puddles rolled past quickly, splashing up wave after wave of water.
Today was definitely not a good day to go out, Nan Yu thought silently as she looked out of the window.
"Yuyu, do not be nervous. The people at the ancestral residence are all Shen Family relatives, and the main thing is to do a ceremony, just go through the motions."
"After we get there, we have to go to the ancestral shrine to burn incense first, and rest in the ancestral residence tonight. After tomorrow, I will bring you to the ancestral graves to pay our respects."
His words were all about getting Nan Yu to follow the Shen Family's rules, and to do things according to the Shen Family's family rules.
Nan Yu took a look out of the window, and was thinking of a countermeasure in her head.
The probability of going head to head with Shen Yanche right now was not high, after all, other than Shen Yanche, there was still Shen Suhai.
Shen Suhai was the hardest bone to crack.
If there were no surprises, Shen Suhai was already at the ancestral residence now, and he definitely wanted to see his name engraved on the Shen Family's family tree.
This was also something that Shen Yanche had told her.
Although Nan Yu did not understand the meaning of doing this, she instinctively still felt a sense of unease.
If the Shen Family really wanted to engrave her name on the ancestral monument, what should she do?
If Nan Yu's name was really written in the Shen Family's family tree in the future, what should she do?
If it was really like what Tan Linyuan said, and from now on her name would have the surname "Shen" in front of it, what should she do?
Although she did not believe in gods and buddhas, she would still feel panicked because of this unknown art of feng shui and fate.
Putting Shen Yanche aside for the time being, Shen Suhai was definitely not a person who would do useless things.
No matter what, he wanted Shen Yanche to bring her back to the Shen Family's ancestral residence, so he definitely had his own calculations.
"Yuyu, we are here."
Nan Yu was just thinking in her heart, when Shen Yanche looked down at her, and gently reminded her: "Get out of the car, the relatives are all waiting for us."
