Chapter 97: Ten Thousand Unwillingness
"You...what do you want to tell me?" Zhuang Tian felt a little guilty when she saw Xu Nuo's smile.
"Zhuang Tian, I don't have any grudge against you, right? I know you want to stay, and that's normal. In that case, let's each do it based on our own abilities. Don't make trouble behind my back, as this will make people look down on us." Xu Nuo said what he wanted to say directly, as a reminder to Xu Nuo.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand... I have a test in the afternoon and I have to go back to review. I won't say any more to you."
Zhuang Tian played dumb and tried to escape.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Xu Nuo blocked the door directly. "You exaggerated the fact that I had dinner with Deputy Director Ling that afternoon in front of Lu Chen, right?"
"No, I didn't. We just met by chance and said hello, that's all."
"You can deny it. But I will watch you carefully. If you do anything behind my back again, I will not be polite to you. The relationship between Lu Chen and I is not as easy to sow discord as you think." Xu Nuo finished his words and moved away.
Zhuang Tian left as if she was running away.
She found that Xu Nuo could see through her little thoughts clearly, and she felt both resentful and upset about it.
Why?
She was about to stay, so why should she be kicked out just because of a promise?
Can't everyone see how hard she studied and how much she has grown in the past year? Why would Xu Nuo, who doesn't even have a medical license, squeeze her out?
Not reconciled!
She was extremely unwilling!
She has to stay, she must stay!!
At lunch, Zhuang Tian, Li Yinan and Ding Jiao sat together to eat. The three of them were some distance away from Ling Sheng's table.
Xu Nuo got his meal and walked towards that table naturally.
Li Yinan lowered his voice and said, "Is Xu Nuo getting very close to Deputy Director Ling now? I heard from people in the department that Deputy Director Ling has never admired someone so much."
"Do you think Deputy Director Ling is interested in her?" Ding Jiao suddenly asked, "Zhuang Tian, you are closest to them, what do you think?"
Zhuang Tian felt sour in her heart, but she was very restrained in her words: "I don't know about this. I have a lot of things to do every day when I go to work. How can I pay attention to these things? However, it is normal for Deputy Director Ling to pay attention to her. After all, she is someone who can perform surgery with a scalpel, and she has an appointment with Dean Qi."
These words made Li Yinan and Ding Jiao fall silent.
Not far away, Xu Nuo sat down with a lunch box in hand: "Aunt Qin, I heard that you have something to tell me?"
Qin Huayun nodded: "Yes. Nuonuo, did Chenchen say anything to you after he went back that day?"
"No."
"No?" Qin Huayun was a little disappointed and continued to ask, "Did he ever tell you about me?"
“Neither do I.”
Qin Huayun couldn't hold back her smile: "Nothing?"
"None."
"Mom, don't be sad. Everything has a process." When Ling Sheng saw Qin Huayun's expression changed, he knew that she was upset.
Qin Huayun lowered her eyes, and a crystal teardrop fell from the corner of her eyes: "He must hate me very much. I know, he must hate me very much."
"I'm sorry, Aunt Qin, I don't know much about what happened between you and Lu Chen, so I can't give you any comfort on this matter." Xu Nuo said.
Hearing this, Qin Huayun wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Nono, you shouldn't call me Aunt Qin, you should call me mom! I think Lu Chen should have told you about this, right?"
"Yes, he said that last night." Xu Nuo said calmly.
"So, when you see me in the future, you should call me mom instead of auntie."
Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment, but began to refuse: "Aunt Qin, I can't call you mom yet. Although you are Lu Chen's biological mother, I can see that he rejects you. I am Lu Chen's wife, and I think he is not willing to see me get too close to you now."
Qin Huayun was shocked by Xu Nuo's words: "What did you say just now? You can't call me mom? Nuonuo, you said you don't understand what happened between me and Lu Chen. As a wife, why don't you go and find out what happened to your husband?"
"Aunt Qin, I believe you can see that Lu Chen is very opposed to this. To be honest, Lu Chen never mentioned to me that you were still alive before last night. Although I am Lu Chen's wife, I think I should respect his emotions and privacy. Before he is willing to open his heart to tell me about this, I don't want to kidnap him as his wife and force him to recall the past that he doesn't want to recall."
Xu Nuo said this very bluntly.
She thought so and said so.
For someone like Lu Chen to reject such a thing, there must be something in his past that made him painful but unwilling to talk about it.
Qin Huayun was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to her senses: "Yes, you are right...that's right."
"Aunt Qin, do you have anything else to say?"
Qin Huayun didn't say anything for a long while. When she spoke again, she said, "I divorced his father for love and left him young. To be honest, Ling Sheng's father and I were childhood sweethearts. We were separated because of my parents. I was forced to marry Lu Huaizheng and gave birth to Lu Chen. Many years later, my parents passed away, and I was able to be together with Ling Sheng's father. I couldn't take Lu Chen away, so I could only let Lu Huaizheng tell him that I was dead..."
Such a thing is simply unimaginable in this day and age.
But Xu Nuo comes from the 21st century and has seen all kinds of things that destroy one's worldview, so he is no longer surprised.
She had no right to express any opinion on Qin Huayun's love.
However, Xu Nuo felt disgusted that she had abandoned Lu Chen for so many years and even used the lie of death to evade her responsibility to Lu Chen.
"So, you can't imagine what he went through at that age?" Thinking of this, Xu Nuo felt a little sorry for Lu Chen.
"His personality was not like this when he was a child. He was very smart and lively. I didn't expect that after so many years, he has completely changed..."
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "It's already like this, it's hard not to change."
"Nono, I think Chenchen likes you very much. Can you say a few words for me when you go back?" Qin Huayun pleaded.
Xu Nuo asked: "So what you mean is..."
"I want Lu Chen to recognize me as her mother again."
Xu Nuo shook his head: "It's difficult. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. The person who tied the bell must untie it. You have to do this yourself."
"What? You don't want to help me?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have no way to help you."
"Why? Aren't you his wife? Since Lu Chen married you, it means that the relationship between you two is much deeper than that of ordinary people. He is willing to listen to what you say."
Xu Nuo showed a bitter smile, she felt sad for Lu Chen.
"What does this mean?" Qin Huayun couldn't understand Xu Nuo's expression. "Is your relationship not good? Or do you also dislike me for being an unqualified mother?"
Xu Nuo looked up at her and said, "I can't judge whether you are qualified to be a mother. Aunt Qin, I think you didn't call the Lu family after you came back, nor did you ask about Lu Chen's situation? So, you don't know about my marriage with Lu Chen."
Her words really touched Qin Huayun's heart.
"Yeah... No, I haven't asked. Indeed, I'm not a qualified mother..."
Ling Sheng gently held Qin Huayun's shaking hand: "Mom, don't say that. You must have had your reasons at the time. You are a good mother, to me and Huanhuan."
"No, I'm not." Qin Huayun was extremely depressed. "At least, I'm not like that to Chen Chen. I haven't known anything about him in these years. Now that I'm back, it's too difficult to expect him to recognize me. He's right. I should give him back that peace."
After saying that, she wiped her tears, stopped talking, lowered her head and started eating in silence.
"Why is that expert Qin crying? What are the three of them talking about?" Li Yinan's curiosity was about to burst.
Zhuang Tian shook her head: "I don't know, their voices were too low to be heard. But I can see that Expert Qin also likes Xu Nuo."
Li Yinan frowned unhappily: "We are university graduates, but our limelight has been stolen by a barefoot doctor from the countryside. It's really embarrassing if we tell others about it."
Zhuang Tian smiled but said nothing.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Yinan felt uncomfortable when he saw her laughing.
"I'm not laughing at anything. I was just thinking, you probably don't know yet, right? The news officer of the military newspaper will come to interview her this afternoon. I heard that there is a space reserved for her. They said they want to report on her growth process..."
Zhuang Tian's words were like dropping a depth bomb. The already restless hearts of the few people became turbulent in an instant because of these words.
