Chapter 10 Dinner
The news of the Xiao and Jiang families breaking off their engagement spread quickly.
Although the apparent statement is that the two young people are not suitable and cannot form a new family.
But the doctors in the hospital were not blind and knew the crux of the problem.
"If my man spends all day taking care of other women, I'll get angry too. It's a good idea to call off this marriage. It's a foolish thing to jump into it knowing it's a fire pit."
"Who says it's not true? I would say Du Wanqiu is really shameless. The family treats her well, and she really accepts everything."
"It takes two to tango. Jiang Chuan has no sense of propriety. Isn't he afraid that Du Wanqiu might have some ideas?"
"What's on your mind? Jiang Chuan probably doesn't like her. She's from the countryside, married, and has children. What does Jiang Chuan want?"
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? No matter what Jiang Chuan is like, he is still a man. Men's perspectives are different from ours."
"I stand with Xiao Qingru this time. If I were her, I would definitely make those two people who were disturbed lose their reputation."
"Tsk, with your character, if you were Xiao Qingru, I'm afraid you would have ruined the future of your entire family."
"That's how powerful you are. You can swallow this kind of grievance. You really have to endure the most hardships to become the best."
"There are so many outstanding men in the hospital. With Xiao Qingru's family background, it won't be a problem for her to find another good one."
"Let's make a bet and see if Du Wanqiu will seize the opportunity. If she misses Jiang Chuan, there will probably be no other man who will treat her so well."
"I bet she will."
"This is the best way to pretend, I bet she can do it!"
"Probably not. You still have to have some self-awareness when doing things."
“…”
No matter what the Jiang family thinks, everything now is what the Xiao family wants.
In this way, Xiao Qingru and Jiang Chuan have completely drawn a clear line between them.
Appendicitis surgery is not considered a surgery, and it healed completely after resting at home for half a month.
During this period, Jiang Chuan came several times, but Xiao Qingru never saw him. If she was going to cut it off, she should do it cleanly.
Besides, she didn't want to listen to him saying meaningless nonsense over and over again.
Once Xiao Qingru has made a decision, she will not change it unless there are special circumstances.
From the moment she fell in the snow, Xiao Qingru drove Jiang Chuan out of her heart little by little.
Although the elimination process was difficult, she was sure she could do it.
"Mom, are you going to treat Comrade Xu to dinner today?"
"Yes, they have been training very hard, so I bought a chicken to make soup for you, and your brother got some fish to make your favorite spicy fish nuggets."
"Let's not add any spiciness. I don't know if Comrade Xu can handle spicy food."
Xiao's mother patted her forehead and said, "You are thoughtful. Let's make steamed fish. Everyone in the family can eat it. Next time, I will make you spicy fish nuggets."
Xiao Qingru smiled and said, "I have gained a lot of weight in the past few days. I don't know if I will be criticized by the group leader when I go to work tomorrow."
"Not too fat, not too fat, just the right size."
Xiao Qingru helped her mother, and soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.
Xu Muzhou came with Xiao Huaishu, carrying a small bag of things in his hands.
Xiao Qingru glanced casually and saw maltose, canned fruit, and a bag of eggs.
It is the top configuration for visiting patients.
This was not the first time Xu Muzhou came to the Xiao family, but he was very nervous. When Xiao Qingru looked at him, his muscles tensed instantly.
Put the gift on the table, "Give Comrade Xiao some nourishment for his health."
"Xiao Xu, it's good that you just came. Why did you bring so many things? It's so strange."
Mrs. Xiao felt a little embarrassed. The purpose of inviting the family to dinner today was to thank them for sending Qingru to the hospital. Why is it that now, the family has to spend money?
"Take these back with you."
Xu Muzhou touched the back of his head and said, "This is a little gift from me. Auntie, if you are so polite, I won't dare to come to your house for a meal next time."
Xiao Huaishu agreed, "Mom, just accept it. It will be a good opportunity for Qingru to make up for her loss."
No more excuses.
"Xiao Xu, please sit down for a while. I'll go make the dumplings. We'll be ready in ten minutes at most."
Xu Muzhou nodded and sat upright on the sofa in the living room.
"Qingru, pour Xiaoxu a glass of water."
"oh."
After getting a clean cup, Xiao Qingru was about to lift the thermos when a hand grabbed the handle first, "I'll do it."
The fingers that were unable to retract in time accidentally touched the hand with the thin silk cord.
The scorching temperature seemed to burn me.
Xiao Qingru nodded randomly and took two steps back.
The scent of soap lingering in his nose faded a little, and Xu Muzhou's Adam's apple rolled.
One hand holds the cup, the other hand hangs at the side.
I stroked it and it seemed as if the soft and cool touch still remained.
