Chapter 372 Tang Xiaoru's Self-blame (5000)
When he opened his eyes the next morning, Chen Qingrong found that Tang Xiaoru in his arms was gone.
He quickly sat up and shouted twice, and Tang Xiaoru then pushed the door and walked in.
"Why are you shouting so early in the morning? I'm not dead." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Qingrong looked at her, a little surprised, "Are you putting on a facial mask so early in the morning?"
Tang Xiaoru muttered, "This is for hydration, because I saw the weather forecast that the temperature will be relatively high today, and I'm worried that my skin will be dry by then."
"Today?" Chen Qingrong got out of bed and opened the curtains, pointing to the gloomy sky outside, a little speechless, "You call this a high temperature? I thought winter had arrived overnight."
Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Who would have thought that the weather forecast would be inaccurate? Anyway, I have already put on the mask, so I can only take it off when the time comes."
"Are you still going to sleep, husband? If you don't want to sleep, why don't you get up and have a bowl of cereal together?"
"what time is it now?"
"Just seven o'clock."
"It's time to get up." Chen Qingrong touched his stomach, "Let me go take a shit first."
Tang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, "Just stay in the toilet. Who would poop two or three times a day?"
"You're just jealous because you're constipated."
Chen Qingrong picked up his phone and ran to the toilet.
But Tang Xiaoru was indeed a little sour.
Under normal circumstances, she has to go to the bathroom about once every two days, which is incomparable to Chen Qingrong's frequency.
However, there was one thing that Chen Qingrong could not compare to her, and that was digestion ability.
Although both of them are in their thirties, no matter how much she eats the night before, even if her stomach is bloated, it will be flat the next morning. But Chen Qingrong is different.
If he ate a lot the night before, his stomach would still be bloated the next morning.
Because of this, Chen Qingrong was also jealous of her.
As people get older, their digestive function is no longer as good as before.
When I was a teenager, I would poop whatever I ate. After I turned 25, my stomach and intestines became like a landslide, getting blocked from time to time.
While Chen Qingrong was going to the toilet, Tang Xiaoru also went to make some cereal.
It’s not some high-end cereal, just the kind of ordinary cereal sold in supermarkets.
About ten minutes later, Chen Qingrong walked out with a relaxed look on his face.
"Cool!"
He shouted.
Tang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, "Is it that cool?"
Just as Chen Qingrong was about to tell her about his feelings, Tang Xiaoru stopped him, "Forget it, don't say it. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink cereal after you tell me."
"Okay." Chen Qingrong stopped talking, walked to the dining table and reached out to pick up the bowl.
"hiss!"
He immediately threw his hand away because he was burned, and looked at Tang Xiaoru with resentment, "Why is it hot?"
Tang Xiaoru gloated, "Who made you so anxious? Besides, oatmeal should be drunk hot. If you want to drink it cold, you might as well tear it open and pour it into your mouth."
Chen Qingrong raised his eyebrows, "How do you know I liked to do this before?"
Tang Xiaoru snorted, "Humph, I knew you like it."
Chen Qingrong hesitated a little, "Is this talking about driving?"
"No!" Tang Xiaoru glared and slammed the table. "Sit down and wait for the oatmeal to cool down. I'll go take off the mask and wash my face."
"it is good."
Tang Xiaoru went to the bathroom.
Chen Qingrong went to get another bowl, then gently poured the cereal in one bowl into the bowl, shook it twice, and then poured it back into the bowl. By tossing it back and forth like this, the cereal quickly cooled down.
When he was a kid, he complained about the heat when he drank porridge, and that's what his mother did.
After eating some cereal and washing up at home, the couple changed their clothes and went to the company.
On the way to the car, Chen Qingrong asked, "Xiao Ru, where do you want to go on a date this weekend?"
Tang Xiaoru thought about it and shook her head. "I don't have anywhere I want to go. Why don't we just stay at home and not go anywhere? Going to work every day is hard enough, and I'm too lazy to go out."
Speaking of this, Chen Qingrong was also a little puzzled. "Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time. We are not workers now, we are bosses. Why do we have to go to the company on time every day after becoming bosses? Can't we go whenever we want?"
"If being a boss doesn't give me this much freedom, why would I want to be a boss at Hammer?"
"Forehead."
"Let me give you this." Chen Qingrong suggested, "From today on, I'll give the key to Xiaoyuan and let her be responsible for opening and locking the door every day. We don't have to go out so early. As leaders, we only need to make decisions and don't have to do everything ourselves. We're not emperors."
Tang Xiaoru pursed her lips, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Let's do this after we finish the case of Haoda Real Estate. After all, this case is the first case after our company opened, and we must make a good start."
"Okay." Chen Qingrong nodded helplessly. Suddenly, he said in annoyance, "Damn it. Last night, I promised to help Xiaoyuan find an agent to rent a house near the company, but I forgot."
Tang Xiaoru looked at him and asked, "Xiaoyuan wants to move to a new house?"
Chen Qingrong nodded, "Yes, the house she lives in now is too far from our new company, and she wants to move to a closer one."
"Then leave this to me." Tang Xiaoru took the job. "I have more resources. I'll find a house for Xiaoyuan that's close to the company."
"Okay." Chen Qingrong nodded, "Remember to find a cheaper one, and one that doesn't have to be too big. If it's too expensive, she won't be able to afford it."
"I know this."
……
After the couple arrived at the company, other employees came one after another.
Chen Qingrong also noticed that Xiaoyuan had obvious dark circles under her eyes, and looked like she had not slept well.
He brought two bags of instant coffee to Xiaoyuan and placed them next to her computer. "Here, make some coffee for later. You look so haggard, as if you were just released from prison. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly, "I worked overtime last night."
Chen Qingrong was stunned. "Overtime? I didn't ask you to work overtime."
"Well, it's not that I'm working overtime on a case at Haoda. I, let me tell you the truth, Mr. Chen. I played games with Mr. Liang last night. We played Against the Current."
"Oh?"
Chen Qingrong raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, is Liang Qingyun so efficient?
He asked tentatively, "Did you play until late?"
Xiao Yuan weakly held up three fingers, "Three o'clock in the morning."
Chen Qingrong was amused. "You two are really addicted. Aren't you tired? I'm usually exhausted after playing one game. It's great to be young."
"What?" Xiao Yuan looked aggrieved and about to cry, "I was sleepy a long time ago, but Mr. Liang was still very energetic and insisted on playing all the time. Not only did he play the game, he also asked me to lead him in other tasks. I thought, since it was the sponsor who asked, I was embarrassed to refuse, so I led him all the time."
At this point, Xiao Yuan gritted her teeth in anger, "But I feel like I was fooled by Mr. Liang. His account is so expensive, but he told me that he's a novice and has never played before. Whose novice hasn't played before? How come his account is level 79 when he first opened it? And he's wearing such expensive costumes. I think he's playing dumb and fooling me."
Chen Qingrong, "..."
"Is it possible that he bought the account?" Chen Qingrong reminded Xiaoyuan weakly.
Xiao Yuan was stunned, thought for a while, and then said, "It is possible, but Ni Shui Han's account is not easy to sell. Why did he spend money to buy such an expensive account? Is it too much money? I really can't understand the train of thought of rich people."
Chen Qingrong's expression became quite strange.
Xiaoyuan thought a lot, but she didn't expect that Liang Qingyun just wanted to have common topics with her.
Is this girl's way of thinking different from other women?
"Remember to drink coffee to refresh yourself." Chen Qingrong patted her shoulder and returned to his workstation.
Working hours are not a good time to gossip.
After working until around ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Qingrong stretched out to relax.
He sent WeChat messages to Gao Qiang and Sun Cheng, two other patients, asking them how they were doing.
Sun Cheng took a selfie with Chen Qingrong. In the photo, he stuck out his tongue at the camera and made a scissors hand gesture.
Chen Qingrong, "Get lost, you bastard!"
Sun Cheng, "You are so cruel. I don't love you anymore."
Chen Qingrong, "Spit, spit."
As for Gao Qiang, he shared a piece of news with Chen Qingrong.
"Yang Bingbing took the initiative to send me a QQ message."
"Why did she look for you? Did she know that you got beaten up?"
"That's not the case." Gao Qiang paused, then continued, "She wanted to return the tablet computer I gave her."
Chen Qingrong, "You also gave her a tablet computer?"
Gao Qiang, "Yes, but I had forgotten about it, and so had she. Now that she remembered it, she wanted to return it to me, but I refused."
Chen Qingrong said angrily, "Why not? Even though the person is gone, at least get back the valuables, so that we can count on losing both the person and the money."
Gao Qiang, "I don't want it. I feel like I've given it all to her. If I take it back, I'll blame the people below me."
Chen Qingrong, "Roll your eyes, you don't have much money, but you like to do this to yourself. You should understand that you didn't ask her for it, she offered to give it back to you. What's so embarrassing about this?"
After sending this message, Chen Qingrong watched as Gao Qiang's message showed that the other party had been typing for three minutes before finally sending a reply.
"You have to force me to say that I am afraid of being reminded of someone else, right?"
Chen Qingrong was immediately delighted when he saw the news.
He knew that was the case.
Tang Xiaoru opened the door and walked out, looking at him, "Mr. Chen, come to my office."
"Ok."
Chen Qingrong put away his phone, walked in, and closed the door.
Tang Xiaoru casually picked up a sealed bag and handed it to him, "Husband, go to the notary office and hand these materials to them. Go to window number three and just say my name."
Chen Qingrong took it and asked, "What material is this?"
Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "Nothing, just some rental materials about the house you rented before. Just send it over and it's done. I'm too lazy to go with you at noon."
"Okay." Chen Qingrong didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, Tang Xiaoru won’t harm him.
Chen Qingrong left the company first and drove to the notary office.
When he got there, he obediently went to get a number, and when it was his turn, he came to window number three.
"Hello, Miss Tang Xiaoru asked me to deliver it." Chen Qingrong asked as he handed the sealed bag in.
The staff member looked at him and asked, "Are you still calling numbers?"
Chen Qingrong was a little puzzled, "Yes, is there any problem?"
The staff member smiled and said, "No, I just thought you were quite well behaved. Normally, someone in your situation could just cut in line and come to me, saving you the trouble of wasting time."
Chen Qingrong, "???"
Depend on!
No one told me!
Chen Qingrong really felt like he had missed out on 100 million.
So much time has been wasted in vain.
Fortunately, the matter was settled, but when he left the notary office, he saw a familiar figure outside.
Ni Shengnan.
"Brother Chen." Ni Shengnan also saw him and called out.
She is now dressed more feminine than before, wearing a pink skirt, white shoes, and carrying a shoulder bag, and she looks a lot brighter.
Unlike before, when she dressed too androgynously, she looked cool and a little gloomy.
"Um, are you here to do business?" Chen Qingrong asked.
Ni Shengnan nodded, "Yes, I'm here to ask something for my parents."
She hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Brother Chen, have you visited Sun Cheng recently?"
Chen Qingrong shook his head. "No, but I talked to him on WeChat. His condition is still very stable. The experts from Beijing consulted with him and developed a new treatment plan for him. Don't worry, he will definitely be able to stand up again."
"But it's hard for you two, the unfortunate couple, to never see each other."
Ni Shengnan blushed and said weakly, "Actually, it's not like we can't see each other all the time. Didn't he tell you? I went to see him once the day before yesterday."
Chen Qingrong was stunned. "You went to see him? How did you go? Didn't Uncle Sun and the others forbid you to meet?"
Ni Shengnan said shyly, "I climbed over the back wall. Plus, it was late at night when I went there, and Uncle Sun and the others had gone home to rest, so I was able to see him."
Chen Qingrong was a little surprised and said, "You two are really becoming more and more like Romeo and Juliet. Does it take such a roundabout way to meet? Should he be very happy to see you?"
Ni Shengnan looked a little embarrassed. After struggling for a few seconds, she blushed and muttered, "I am very happy. He even treated me to a lollipop."
Chen Qingrong, "???"
Not buddy.
There's no need for me to know about this kind of thing!
"Haha." Chen Qingrong didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh awkwardly. "I, I said that his health wouldn't collapse. He can still have this kind of thought while living in the hospital. He will definitely be able to stand up again."
"Well, go in and do your thing first. I have to go back to our company too."
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Chen."
"OK."
"Brother Chen." Ni Shengnan suddenly grabbed Chen Qingrong again, hesitantly asking, "Can I ask you something? That is, right, do you men really like that tingling feeling? Because I have never dated a man before, I don't really understand."
"A tingling feeling?" Chen Qingrong was a little confused. "What does that mean? What is a tingling feeling?"
Ni Shengnan said carefully, "You may not be able to tell, but I actually have lip piercings. When I went to see Sun Cheng that night, he said that next time I go to see him, he wants me to wear lip piercings, so that it will feel more stinging and more pleasurable."
By the time she finished speaking her face had turned as red as a cooked tomato.
"Ah?" Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, and after realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but say, "Miss Ni, don't you think you've shared too much with me? I really don't want to hear about this kind of thing!"
Ni Shengnan said helplessly, "But you know, I hate men, and I don't have many male friends around me, so I can only ask you."
Chen Qingrong was so tired that he could only say, "It depends on your personal feelings. I don't like it anyway. If Sun Cheng likes it, that's his business. No, this is a matter between you two. As for whether you do it or not, that should be discussed between you and him."
"Don't ask me this kind of question. It's so embarrassing. I have to save face too."
"Okay." Ni Shengnan let go and took a deep breath. "Huh, I feel relieved when you say that. Bye then."
"Bye-Bye."
Chen Qingrong was finally able to escape.
I had just gotten in the car and was about to drive back to the company when I received a call from Tang Xiaoru.
"Hey, wife, do you miss me?"
"Honey, are you back?" Tang Xiaoru asked him.
Chen Qingrong said, "I was just about to go back, and I told you, just now..."
"Listen to me first." Tang Xiaoru interrupted him, "You don't have to come back, just go to the private hospital. I just received a call from my mother, saying that my grandmother suddenly fainted at home and is being rushed to the hospital. I will arrange tasks for other people in the company and will meet up with you soon. Please go over and take a look for me first."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The matter was urgent, so Chen Qingrong hung up the phone and drove to the private hospital.
After arriving, he called Lin Yue again and learned that his grandmother was currently in the operating room on the seventh floor for emergency treatment.
He hurried to the seventh floor, only to see Tang Chengshan sitting on a bench with his arms around Lin Yue, patting her shoulders constantly to comfort her. As for Lin Yue, her eyes were red from crying.
"Uncle and aunt." Chen Qingrong shouted quickly and ran over.
Tang Chengshan looked up at him and asked, "Where's Xiaoru? Why didn't she come with you?"
Chen Qingrong explained, "I'm going to the notary office to do some work, so it's faster for me to get here. Xiaoru is also on her way here, so she should be here soon."
"By the way, uncle and aunt, what happened to grandma? Why did she suddenly faint?"
Lin Yue choked up and said, "We don't know why she suddenly fainted, but the doctor just said that her condition is very bad. He has asked us to sign a critical illness notice and asked us to be mentally prepared."
"How can this be so serious?"
Chen Qingrong finally understood why Lin Yue’s eyes were swollen from crying.
The critical illness notice has been issued, who wouldn't be scared?
Not long after, Tang Xiaoru also arrived, asked about the situation, and then squatted by the wall waiting.
Although she didn't like her grandmother very much, she was related to her by blood after all, so she still hoped that her grandmother could come out safely.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen in the end.
The lights in the operating room dimmed, and the doctor came out. After taking off his mask, he announced the news, "Family members, please accept my condolences. We have tried our best, but unfortunately, the patient has passed away."
"mom!"
Lin Yue cried out in grief, her eyes went dark and she fainted in Tang Chengshan's arms.
"Wife!"
"Aunt!"
Chen Qingrong and Tang Chengshan quickly worked together to support her.
thump.
Tang Xiaoru's legs went weak and she fell to the ground, and Chen Qingrong hurried to help her up.
"Xiaoru, Xiaoru, are you okay?" Chen Qingrong asked with concern while holding her in his arms.
Tang Xiaoru was like a robot, her face was numb, her eyes were dull and lifeless. She opened her mouth to speak, but her throat seemed to be blocked by a rock, and her heart seemed to be hit by a heavy punch, and her body kept twitching and shaking.
Half an hour later, Lin Yue's emotions gradually calmed down, but after seeing her grandmother's body, Lin Yue cried again and almost fainted.
Chen Qingrong and Tang Chengshan had no choice but to pull her out with great pain.
Chen Qingrong also went to the bathroom and called to inform his parents of the news.
"Alas." Wang Xiu'e sighed after hearing this. "I didn't expect that it has only been such a short time and Xiaoru's grandmother has passed away... Qingrong, you have to take good care of Xiaoru. She is the weakest at this moment. Your father and I will buy the tickets tonight and we will go to Shanghai together to attend Xiaoru's grandmother's funeral. As for your grandmother..."
Chen Qingrong said, "Grandma doesn't need to come. She has to travel a long way. It's very hard for her. You just need to come."
"That's fine. It just so happens that your grandma's legs are a little sore. Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go talk to your dad and the others."
"it is good."
Chen Qingrong hung up the phone, came out of the bathroom, turned on the tap to wash his face. When he looked up, he saw Tang Xiaoru appearing behind him with a haggard face.
"Xiao Ru?"
He was so scared that he turned around quickly.
Tang Xiaoru hugged him tightly and cried, "I, am I so weird? My grandma died, but I can't even shed tears. Am I sick? I'm so bad, I'm so bad. She is my grandma, why can't I cry? Why, Chen Qingrong?"
