Lu Yunzhi had arrived in a hurry this morning and hadn't eaten anything. His stomach was completely empty, and he was experiencing sharp pains in his intestines. He was also a bit cold; he breathed on his hands to warm them, but it didn't ward off the chill. Perhaps because it was close to lunchtime, the aroma of food wafted through the hallway, making him, already starving, swallow hard.
Hunger and cold did not tempt him to give up in the slightest. He was determined to hear it with his own ears. Perhaps it was because the people inside finally sensed Lu Yunzhi's determination that the door opened, and a delicious aroma of meat wafted into Lu Yunzhi's nostrils.
Zhang Wei's voice came through: "It's really uncomfortable to be hungry all morning, come in and eat."
Lu Yunzhi suppressed his overwhelming joy, got up, dusted off his trousers, and went inside. He had just...
Upon entering, he didn't see Qianqian, whom he had been longing to see, at the dining table. Instead, he only saw Zhang Wei. His throat was dry as he asked, "Mom, where's Qianqian?"
"Don't call me Mom, I can't accept that!" Zhang Wei got angry as soon as she heard Lu Yunzhi's words. She hadn't even agreed yet, how could he change his mind first?
Finally, she added, "You don't need to worry about where Qianqian is. All you need to know is that I'm the one who made Qianqian divorce you."
"Because you and she are simply not a good match."
Lu Yunzhi's newly kindled joy was extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"
"We'll talk about that later, have a seat first." Zhang Wei gestured to Lu Yunzhi, picked out a plate of wild vegetables from the many meat dishes, and pushed it in front of him: "Eat up. I'm afraid that in your village you can only eat wild vegetables to fill your stomach. I'm afraid that if I give you big fish and meat, it will spoil your stomach."
Hearing this, Lu Yunzhi naturally understood Zhang Wei's implied meaning, and his grip on his chopsticks tightened slightly. Before he could even pick up his chopsticks, there was another knock on the door.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm here!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Zhang Wei's expression immediately brightened. She pushed open the door and hurriedly welcomed the person inside, introducing her to Lu Yunzhi: "Let me introduce you, this is Wang Xiaohong, a relative of one of my colleagues. She's from the village next door. Although her family has a bad class background and doesn't have much money, she's very beautiful and has a great figure."
"Since you and Qianqian are divorced, introducing her to you is a way of making amends, isn't it?"
As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, Wang Xiaohong's eyes lit up at Lu Yunzhi: "Hello, my name is Wang Xiaohong. All the men in the village are fighting over my figure; after all, the matchmakers all say I have big hips and am good at bearing children, so I'll have a son every time I give birth!"
Wang Xiaohong spoke with a heavy local accent, and her words had a self-aggrandizing tone.
road.
“Yes,” Zhang Wei chimed in, “Don’t you men all like sons and carrying on the family line? Find a suitable one while you’re young, or you’ll regret it when you’re old.”
Her words were full of sarcasm and sounded particularly harsh.
Lu Yunzhi, who had been standing still, finally growled in a low voice, "Enough!!"
“Aunt Zhang, I know you have a prejudice against me because of my family’s situation. No one is born with the ability to decide their own family’s fate, but that doesn’t mean I can’t change my destiny through my own efforts in the future.”
Zhang Wei sneered: "Yes, you have the ability to make money. But can you guarantee that when faced with a conflict between your biological parents and Qianqian, you will choose her without hesitation?"
"Of course," Lu Yunzhi replied firmly.
"Even so, in a marriage that has lasted for ten years, can you be sure that your feelings for your spouse will not diminish in the slightest, even if someone better comes along?" Zhang Wei asked again, a hint of sadness in her voice.
“Of course,” Lu Yunzhi replied.
But Zhang Wei still didn't believe it. After all, making promises is easy, but very few people can actually keep them.
arrive.
She and Qi Yuan had once promised each other to stay together for life and grow old together, but in the end, one of them betrayed the other first.
Zhang Wei's expression also turned serious: "To be honest, Qianqian is actually in the hospital right now."
"Huh?" Lu Yunzhi's heart jumped: "What happened to Qianqian?"
“Her cold hasn’t gotten better since she fell into the water, and a few days ago she went to the hospital to take care of your sister-in-law, which worsened her condition and triggered an even more serious illness. She’ll probably need a full blood transfusion to survive.” Zhang Wei casually made up a story, then coaxed, “Qianqian told me that you and she have the same blood type, right?”
"yes."
"Would you be willing to trade your life for Qianqian's?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yunzhi answered decisively, "Of course."
"Come with me." Zhang Wei grabbed her bag and went out, taking Lu Yunzhi with her to the hospital.
After they arrived at the hospital, Zhang Wei found an empty ward and had Lu Yunzhi lie down: "I need to give you anesthesia now."
"Um."
Lu Yunzhi was lost in all his memories of Shen Qianqian. In his memory, the girl always looked at him with a sweet smile. Unfortunately, as the IV drip was administered, the girl seemed to drift further and further away from him. Finally, his consciousness blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Zhang Wei finally accepted Lu Yunzhi.
Empty promises are not credible; if one can face death without wavering, then perhaps that feeling is genuine.
She now finally believed in Lu Yunzhi's feelings for Qianqian and could finally entrust her daughter to him with peace of mind.
Lu Yunzhi opened his eyes again, and the first thing he saw was the person he loved most, chin in hand, smiling at him. Almost simultaneously, tears streamed down his face, his voice choked with emotion: "Qianqian, you still couldn't be saved in the end? How can I still see you?"
"Idiot!" Shen Qianqian lightly punched him in an annoyance: "Look carefully, the two of us..."
