Chapter 80 Proposal

I answered, hurried downstairs and asked Aunt Liu why she called me.

Aunt Liu looked at me, then looked at Chen Min behind me. There was a strange look in her eyes, and she turned around and looked at me.

"It's nothing serious, just porridge. I'll serve it to you."

After dinner, I stayed with Guoguo at home for a while. Aunt Liu was talking to Chen Min in the kitchen. Chen Min suddenly turned around and looked at me, which surprised me.

Chen Min quickly came back to her senses, but Aunt Liu's face didn't look very good. She said a few words to Chen Min, and Chen Min quickly nodded.

After a while, Chen Min came out of the kitchen and took Guoguo from my hands. I called her and was curious about what Liu Ma said to her.

"Oh, my mom told me to be careful when I take Guoguo back home because there's no man at home and she also told me to keep an eye on Guoguo. She said there are a lot of human traffickers these days."

I nodded and said that she was raising a child alone in her hometown, so she really needed to pay attention to safety. There are indeed many human traffickers in today's society, so you have to be especially careful when looking after your child. If you are not careful, the child may be taken away by someone with ulterior motives.

"Or, you and Guoguo can move in here." I looked at Chen Min.

Chen Min shook his head hurriedly.

"If I stay here forever, I'm afraid the young master will..."

She muttered something in a low voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly, so I looked at her with some confusion.

"Oh, I mean there's no need to move here because my husband will be transferred back next month."

Chen Min said her husband, thanks to Liu Ma's connections, got a job at Jiang's as a sales manager. He was transferred to the north city a year ago and would come back during the holidays.

"It's indeed time to transfer back. What's important is that the two of them are together." I said.

Chen Min smiled and said she had more to thank me.

I was stunned and looked at Chen Min with some confusion.

"Look at my quick mouth." Chen Min quickly covered her mouth.

"I mean thank you for bringing Guoguo to me."

Chen Min quickly carried Guoguo upstairs and said she would make milk for her.

Looking at Chen Min going upstairs, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and then he glanced at Liu Ma who was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Why do I feel like these two people are hiding something from me? I just stood up when my cell phone rang.

I took my phone out of my bag and saw it was Xiao Shi, saying he was already at my door.

"Then wait for me, I'll go upstairs and get a bag."

I appeared in front of Xiao Shi's car with my bag. Xiao Shi in the car smiled at me and asked me to get in.

I opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. I looked around casually and saw a bouquet of lilies on the back seat. I turned to look at Xiao Shi in confusion and asked him who he was taking me to see.

Xiao Shi asked me why I didn’t tell him that the flowers were for me, and I smiled faintly.

"If you were giving it to me, I'm afraid you would have given it to me when I just got on the car."

"I'm indeed going to see someone, and I'll have something more important to give you when the time comes." Xiao Shi smiled at me.

I asked Xiao Shi what he would ask of me.

"you guess."

I shook my head and said I didn't know. Let him tell me.

"Wait a minute, and you'll know."

I didn't ask any more questions and sat quietly in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window.

When the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery, I guessed that Xiao Shi was taking me to see his mother.

"Today is my mother's birthday." Xiao Shi turned to look at me, his eyes full of sadness.

I followed him out of the car and he took out the bouquet of lilies and handed it to me.

"Now I have a girlfriend and I want to show her to my mom."

I held the flowers and Xiao Shi held the incense and paper money, and we entered the cemetery together and soon arrived at the grave of Xiao Shi's mother.

There was no photo on the tombstone. I looked at Xiao Shi in confusion and asked her why there was no photo of my aunt.

A trace of sadness flashed across Xiao Shi's eyes. He put Lily down and reached out to gently stroke the name on the tombstone.

"My mother, she lives in my heart."

I looked at Xiao Shi with heartache and looked at the name on the tombstone - Xiao Yan.

Xiao Shi knelt down and lit the incense paper, and I knelt down too.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Xiaowan. Today, not only did I bring her to see you, I also wanted to propose to my beloved woman in front of you."

"Propose," I shuddered. I turned to look at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi smiled at me and took my hand. I saw him take out a ring box from his pocket with his left hand.

"Xiao Wan, didn't you ask me last time if I really liked you? I thought about it for a long time and I have to let you see my sincerity. Although this proposal is a bit rash, I really like you."

There was sincerity in Xiao Shi's eyes. I believed he was sincere, but what about my heart...

He looked at me expectantly and asked me if I would marry him.

I looked at Xiao Shi, a trace of struggle flashed across my eyes, and I slowly retracted my hand and reached out to scratch my bangs.

"Actually, I asked out of boredom last time. Besides, don't I already trust you?"

"Honestly, we've only been together for a short time, and I'm divorced. Many people think I'm after your money. If we get married so soon, I'm afraid people will think that even more."

"Can we spend more time together and get to know each other better?"

I looked at Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi looked at me. Then he nodded and apologized to me, saying that he was not thoughtful enough.

Xiao Shi stood up and pulled me up. He held my face in his hands, kissed my forehead, and looked at me affectionately.

"Then let's date for another six months. If we don't break up, you'll marry me."

I nodded and said yes.

Xiao Shi and I left the cemetery. Xiao Shi sent me to the hospital. I went to change Han Ming, and Xiao Shi returned to the company.

After Han Ming left, Xiaoyu looked at me happily.

"Xiao Wan, I have something happy to tell you. Han Ming confessed his love to me."

I looked up at her and asked if it was true or false.

"real."

Xiaoyu said that she suddenly brought it up last night, and the two of them didn't know how they suddenly ended up talking about this topic.

Han Ming took Xiaoyu's hand and said directly that he liked Xiaoyu and asked Xiaoyu if she was willing.

"So you agree?" I asked.

Xiaoyu nodded shyly and said that not only did she agree, but she also kissed him.

"Congratulations." I looked at her with amusement.

At that time, Chen Xi and I had been in a relationship for three years, and our relationship was limited to holding hands and kissing foreheads. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. Perhaps I was too conservative, so he chose Tian Rong and sent me to Jiang Ruohe's bed.

Xiaoyu's face flushed a little, and she asked me a very private but direct question.

"I just want to know how long a boyfriend and girlfriend would date before doing something like that?"

I was embarrassed. This question was really difficult.

"Some people seem to develop an intimate relationship after just a few days of dating. Others seem to keep it secret until after marriage. It really depends on how the two people feel."

"If you feel that you have deep feelings for the other person and that the other person is the one you want to marry, it should be possible." I looked at Xiaoyu.

"Then you and Mr. Xiao..." Xiaoyu looked at me with some gossip.

I shook my head, sat on the chair, and said that I had no interest in this matter for the time being.

Maybe the shadow Jiang Ruohe left on me was too great. I hated being touched by others. When Xiao Shi kissed me, I felt some resistance in my heart. However, I kept telling myself that I was Xiao Shi's girlfriend. There were things that needed to be done, and I had to force myself to get over it.

Xiaoyu didn't ask me such questions. We talked about other things. When talking about Wang Yingzhi, Xiaoyu said that Wang Yingzhi seemed to be in this hospital and was still in the intensive care unit.

She asked around and the doctor said there was a high chance she would wake up, but he wasn't sure when, maybe a year, two years, or even longer.

Thinking of Wang Yingzhi, I sighed. I can only blame her for all this.

Her grandfather had already transferred the African branch to her name, so she could start her life again and maybe even find her other half.

If she had let go of all this and returned to Africa honestly, such a thing would not have happened. However, she was unwilling to do so and did not want Jiang Nianhao and Tian Rong to have an easy time. As a result, she failed to gain anything and ended up losing a lot of money. She was sent to the intensive care unit. If she wakes up in the future, she will definitely regret doing this.

I didn't say anything. The two of them felt bored staying in the ward, so they went to the garden. We sat on the bench and chatted. After a while, my cell phone rang. It was Grandpa Shao calling.

I hurriedly got up, talked to Xiaoyu, walked aside and answered the phone.

Grandpa Shao said that he had found the name of the person he asked me to look up last time.

"Is Wang Yingzhi's best friend's surname Xiao?" I asked hurriedly.

Grandpa Shao shook his head and said his surname was Lan and his name was Lan Yan. I was stunned for a moment. Could it be that I guessed wrong?

"I also found an old photo of her and will send it to you later."

Grandpa Shao said that after all, more than 20 years have passed, and now only photos and names can be found. The photos are a bit blurry, as they are old black and white photos. As for other things, because it was too long ago, nothing can be found.

"I don't know if I can help you."

I hurriedly thanked Grandpa Shao and said that with the name and photo, everything would be fine.

After I hung up the phone, I saw the black-and-white photo Grandpa Shao had sent me. It was indeed a little blurry. It was taken of Lan Yan standing under an orange tree. Her face was a little blurry, but I could feel it. She must have been a great beauty.

Forget it, maybe I really guessed wrong. The only thing I’m confused about now is why Xiao Shi wanted to help Tian Rong.

Doesn't he know that Tian Rong and I had a falling out? She's still my father's murderer. This matter can only be investigated slowly.

I put the phone back in my pocket. When I went back, I saw Tian Rong standing in front of Xiaoyu, saying something.

"Tian Rong, I'm telling you, you can't threaten me now. I'm not afraid. I've already told my mom about my pole dancing, and she understands me. As for you wanting to tell the villagers, go ahead. I don't need to care about what others think."

"Wow, you seem really confident. How about I post these videos on your school's official website?" Tian Rong looked at Xiaoyu with a smile.

I hurried over and protected Xiaoyu behind me.

"Say what you just said again."

When Tian Rong saw me here, she looked a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down and actually repeated what she had just said.

"A lady of the Jiang family who has a name but no power actually uses this kind of thing to threaten others." I emphasized the words "name but no power".

Tian Rong's face froze and she glared at me fiercely.

I turned to look at Xiaoyu and told her not to be afraid.

"That's no big deal. We'll first find a PR person to post a message about your father's illness. We earn money based on our own abilities, we haven't destroyed other people's families, we haven't been mistresses, and we haven't dated men as old as our fathers. Then your classmates will only feel sorry for you and respect you even more."

After listening to my analysis, Xiaoyu was no longer worried. But Tian Rong looked unhappy. What I just said was directed at her in every way.

I took out my cell phone and clicked on the recording. It was the words that Tian Rong had just said to threaten Xiaoyu.

"A Jiang family lady actually used a very common thing to threaten a female student. Xiaoyu, tell me, if I call the newspaper now, will a reporter buy this story for a high price?"

Tian Rong's face was pale. I smiled faintly and put my mouth close to her ear.

"If you bully Xiaoyu again, I will tell you all the ugly things you did in the past. Don't be so embarrassed that you were kicked out of the position of Madam Jiang after only a few days."

Tian Rong glared at me resentfully.

I pulled Xiaoyu and prepared to leave the garden. Xiaoyu looked at me with gratitude and said that I was really capable.

If I were really capable, I would have left Tian Rong with nothing. But until now, I haven't been able to bring her down. This is a thorn in my heart. "Xiao Wan, it's a good thing you left the Jiang family. Otherwise, you would have to call her stepmother." Xiao Yu sighed.

Just then, someone grabbed my hand. I turned around and saw it was Tian Rong. I impatiently shook off her hand.

Tian Rong fell backwards into the grass in the flower bed. She quickly covered her stomach and said that I pushed her.

I gave her a cold look. She was really calculating. She put on a cotton coat and deliberately sat down in the grass. I guess she had already thought about how to protect the child before she sat down.

There were still many patients in the garden, and they all came over and helped Tian Rong up.

"What a mean person you are! She is a pregnant woman. Not only did you quarrel with her, but you also pushed her down and didn't even help her up." An old lady said to me.

I guess he just saw me talking to Tian Rong with cold faces, and then saw Tian Rong fall to the ground, so he thought so.

"Xiaowan didn't push her. She did it on purpose." Xiaoyu explained hurriedly.

Several people said they saw me pushing her. I stood there without saying anything, just sighing in my heart. Sometimes I have to admit that what I saw was not real.

"No, we didn't push it." Xiaoyu tried her best to deny it, but it only attracted more accusations.

At this moment, Jiang Nianhao hurriedly appeared in the garden and asked Tian Rong what was going on.

"Nian Hao, she pushed me and my stomach hurts."

When Jiang Nianhao heard that Tian Rong had a stomachache, he glared at me and quickly asked his assistant to call a doctor.

"Yu Xiaowan. If anything happens to my child, I won't let you off easy no matter how many people protect you."

Jiang Nianhao walked up to me and looked at me intently.

I glanced at Tian Rong, who was holding her stomach and crying in pain, but with a smug look in her eyes. She really couldn't give me a moment's peace.

"I can prove that Yu Xiaowan did not push her." Mu Yan's voice sounded from behind me.

Mu Yan walked out in a white coat and came in front of Jiang Nianhao.

"Hello, Uncle Jiang."

Mu Yan pointed to a room on the third floor.

"I happened to be on duty on the third floor, standing by the window admiring the scenery, when I saw this scene. Miss Tian deliberately went forward to grab Yu Xiaowan's hand, and when Yu Xiaowan pulled away, she fell backwards into the grass."

Jiang Nianhao looked at Mu Yan and his face turned cold.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Ever since Miss Tian fell, Miss Yu has been standing here without moving, right?" Mu Yan looked at the patients around him.

Those people nodded, and Mu Yan walked up to me and held my hand.

"It's like if I were Miss Tian, ​​standing right here at the time, and Xiaowan pushed me, I would only fall a short distance behind me or to my left or right."

"Look at Miss Tian, ​​she has fallen into the grass on the side. If it weren't for your cooperation, Xiaowan's strength could not have pushed you so far?" Mu Yan looked at Tian Rong.

Tian Rong's eyes flashed with panic. She said she was pregnant. When I pushed her, she was afraid I would hurt her baby, so it was normal for her to take a few steps back and fall. Mu Yan pointed to Shang Qiang in the inpatient department, where there was a surveillance camera.

"This surveillance camera can see what's happening here. Do you need me to go to the security department to get the camera out?"

After Mu Yan said this, the patients around looked at Tian Rong and dispersed.

"Uncle Jiang, I believe you now understand the truth of this matter."

Jiang Nianhao's face was not very good and he glared at Tian Rong fiercely.

Mu Yan turned and looked at Xiaoyu and me.

"Let's go in."

The three of us entered the inpatient department together. I looked up at Mu Yan and said thank you.

"No need, I just happened to see it. I couldn't bear to see others being bullied. I went up." Mu Yan smiled at me and left.

Xiaoyu took my hand and said that Mu Yan was so handsome and a really nice person.

I nodded and took Xiaoyu back to the ward.

Half an hour later, while the doctor took Xiaoyu for a follow-up checkup, I took out my cell phone and turned on the video surveillance of Tian Rong's home.

It happened that Jiang Nianhao took Tian Rong back with him.

As soon as they got home, Jiang Nianhao stood there without saying a word. Tian Rong walked over carefully.

"Nian Hao."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nianhao turned around and grabbed her neck.

"I told you a few days ago not to provoke Yu Xiaowan. Why didn't you listen to me? In order to frame her, you actually used my child as a bet. Don't you think this is a bit too much?"

It can be seen that Jiang Nianhao is really angry at this moment.

"I'm prepared. Didn't I just check it? There's nothing wrong."

It would have been fine if Tian Rong hadn't said this, but once she did, Jiang Nianhao became even angrier and increased the strength in his hands.

"What if something happens?"

Tian Rong quickly apologized, saying that she knew she was wrong and that she would never do such a stupid thing again.

"Nian Hao, I was really wrong." Tian Rong's tears fell, and Jiang Nianhao softened his heart and let go of her neck.

He put his hand on Tian Rong's shoulder.

"I was so angry too. This is my first child..." Jiang Nianhao paused.

"No, this is our first child. I must ensure that the child is born safely. Can you understand my feelings?" Jiang Nianhao looked at Tian Rong seriously.

Tian Rong reached out and hugged Jiang Nianhao.

"I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."

"Well, I know you hate Yu Xiaowan. Our position is not stable yet, so this is not the time to deal with her. What you need to do now is to protect this child. Once your child is born, I will naturally help you deal with her."

Tian Rong nodded with emotion.

I turned off the video, stood up and stood in front of the window, looking out quietly.

After a while, Xiaoyu came back and said that the doctor had examined her and that nothing serious was wrong. She could be discharged this afternoon.

Xiaoyu took out her cell phone and called Han Ming. Han Ming said he would pick her up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Ming came over and completed the discharge procedures for Xiaoyu. Han Ming drove and took Xiaoyu and me to Xiaoyu's home.

Seeing Han Ming there, I felt embarrassed to be a third wheel, so I stood up and said I wanted to go back.

Xiaoyu asked Han Ming to take me home, but I shook my head and said no, I could take a taxi back by myself. When I left, I patted Han Ming on the shoulder and asked him to treat Xiaoyu well, saying that Xiaoyu was a good girl.

Han Ming patted his chest.

"Don't worry, I will treat her well."

Hearing Han Ming say this, I felt relieved.

I took a taxi back home, but saw Chen Min and Liu Ma running downstairs in a hurry. I hurried forward to ask what happened.

"Guoguo is missing."

Chen Min said that Guoguo was taking a nap upstairs, and she was helping Liu Ma wash vegetables in the kitchen. When she went upstairs to the room, she found that Guoguo, who was lying on the bed, was gone.

According to Chen Min, I don't think it was taken away by someone else. The front door was closed, and Jiang Ruohe had someone install anti-theft windows on the second and third floors, so no one could get in.

"Don't worry, Guoguo might have woken up and climbed down from the bed to look for her mother. She is so young and she shouldn't go downstairs alone. Guoguo must be on the second floor." I analyzed.

"Yes, yes, yes. We were really too anxious." Chen Min said.

The three of us went upstairs together, then split up and went into the room earlier. I went into my room first, opened the wardrobe, and didn't find Guoguo, so I walked out of the room.

As I reached the door of the study, Aunt Liu came out of the guest room and hurried over.

"Xiao Wan, I'll go to the study, you go find the room next door."

I nodded and said yes. Just as I was about to enter the next room, I heard Guoguo's laughter coming from the study. I reached out and quickly opened the study door.

Seeing Guoguo sitting on the sofa in the study and laughing, Aunt Liu took Guoguo out of the study without saying a word and closed the door.

Chen Min rushed over and hugged Guoguo hurriedly.

"Guoguo, where have you been? You scared me to death. I will never let you sleep alone upstairs again."

Chen Min looked at me apologetically and said that in the past, when Guoguo woke up, she would cry and call for her mother, and as long as she didn't come, the crying sound could be heard downstairs. Unexpectedly, this time when she woke up, she didn't cry and even sneaked into the study.

"Uncle, uncle." Guoguo looked at Chen Min with a smile.

Mother Liu coughed lightly, and Chen Min hurriedly said that she wanted to feed the baby and planned to carry Guoguo into the room.

"etc."

I suddenly thought of something, called Chen Min, walked to her side, and reached out to hug Guoguo.

"Guoguo, tell godmother where uncle is. Can you take godmother to find uncle? Then godmother will buy you lots of delicious food."

When Guoguo heard about food, he was very excited. He nodded happily and pointed to the study.
