Knowing that Gu Wei would come in the afternoon, Yu Rou put on some pale and haggard makeup.
But before she could wait for Gu Wei, Jiang Chi and Lin Lianqiao arrived first.
When Jiang Chi and Lin Lianqiao came in, Yu Rou looked at the time and it was just past three o'clock.
It has been a long time since I last saw Lin Lianqiao. She seemed prettier than the last time we met. A closer look revealed that her dress had changed slightly, but Yu Rou noticed that Jiang Chi was not close to her and there was a vague sense of alienation.
When Lin Lianqiao saw Yu Rou, she looked a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know how to address Yu Rou. Before, she called Yu Rou "Auntie" according to seniority, but was humiliated by Yu Rou. Now she didn't know what to address her.
Fortunately, Jiang Chi spoke first, "Have you been here all day?"
Lin Lianqiao followed behind Jiang Chi, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Well, what else?" Yu Rou raised her eyelids and said lightly, "Ms. Lin is here too. Why are you hiding behind Jiang Chi? I won't do anything to you."
"Hello, I heard that Uncle Jiang was sick, so I came to see him." Lin Lianqiao said politely.
"Oh, sit down." Yu Rou didn't mean to make things difficult for her. Instead, she acted listless. Moreover, she had put on pale makeup and looked not in a good mental state.
Jiang Chi looked at her like this, feeling a little suspicious and a little surprised.
"Have you been guarding here these days?" The nurse just told him, but he didn't believe it. After all, Yu Rou went out to hang out every day in the past few days and didn't spend much time with Jiang Cheng. This made him wonder why Yu Rou behaved so abnormally.
Jiang Chi thought: She must have some secret.
After all, Lin Lianqiao was not familiar with Yu Rou and Jiang Cheng. What's more, Yu Rou and Jiang Chi didn't get along well and didn't like each other. The relationship between the three was also very complicated. It was awkward for them to be in the same room.
Yu Rou kept looking at Jiang Cheng, occasionally looking down at her phone to send messages, and had almost no communication with Jiang Chi and Lin Lianqiao. Only when Jiang Chi asked about Jiang Cheng's recent condition, Yu Rou replied, "You should go ask the doctor yourself."
This sentence shut Jiang Chi up. Lin Lianqiao wanted to ask a few questions out of concern, but after hearing Yu Rou's answer to Jiang Chi, she swallowed the words on her lips and sat on the sofa, looking a little uncomfortable.
She and Jiang Chi were not actually boyfriend and girlfriend, and she knew this very well. This time she came to see Jiang Cheng because she accidentally learned that Jiang Cheng was seriously ill. Jiang Chi was going to the hospital, so she offered to go and see him. Jiang Chi couldn't refuse, so he brought her here.
Now Lin Lianqiao felt a little regretful and thought that she should have asked about the situation clearly before coming. Besides, she didn't bring any fruits or flowers, which made her feel embarrassed.
Especially the relationship between Jiang Chi and Yu Rou gave her a strange feeling. Jiang Chi seemed to always stare at Yu Rou, and his eyes were unpredictable.
Lin Lianqiao muttered to herself, feeling a little curious, but she didn't think much about it. Instead, she was thinking about when she could leave.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Chi took the initiative to say that he had something else to do and had to leave first, and sent Lin Lianqiao back at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lianqiao immediately stood up, with no intention of staying any longer.
Yu Rou didn't react at all, as if it was none of her business whether they were there or not.
…
Not long after Jiang Chi and Lin Lianqiao left, Jiang Cheng's hand suddenly moved. Yu Rou noticed it and immediately called a doctor.
The doctor said that although Jiang Cheng had woken up, it was probably a last-ditch effort and he might not be able to survive in the next two days. He asked her to talk to Jiang Cheng, but not to let him get too tired and not to get too emotional.
Yu Rou thought about it and asked the nurse to call Jiang Chi to tell him that Jiang Cheng had woken up, and asked the nurse to ask Jiang Chi to come over quickly.
She calculated the time and expected Jiang Chi to arrive at the hospital soon. She opened the door of the ward ajar and used a curtain to half-block the bed. When Jiang Chi came, he could just push the door open and come in. From Yu Rou's perspective, she could see people coming in, but Jiang Chi couldn't see them. However, he could hear her conversation with Jiang Cheng clearly.
Yu Rou first took the initiative to talk to Jiang Cheng about the past, and just like in the original plot, she told Jiang Cheng about their first meeting.
She had been keeping her eyes on the door, and when she saw someone walk in, her eyes blinked, but her expression didn't change.
Just by looking at the shoes and the corners of his clothes, it was enough to recognize that the person was Jiang Chi.
She asked Jiang Cheng calmly, "Actually, you married me for other reasons, right? I have a feeling that in the past few years, you have been looking at another person through me."
Her words made Jiang Chi, who was about to walk over, stop.
Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect you to notice it. But now that I'm like this, there's no need to hide it from you anymore."
"I just want to know why." Yu Rou whispered.
"The first time I saw you, I knew she was back." Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Rou infatuatedly, as if he was lost in memories.
Yu Rou asked, "Who is she?"
"She is the woman I love most and my first love." Jiang Cheng's tone was filled with deep sadness.
"She's dead?"
"There was a car accident on the third day after we got engaged." Jiang Cheng said in a deep voice.
…
As a result of her intentional or unintentional questions, Jiang Cheng revealed more than in the original plot.
Jiang Cheng: "You look almost exactly like her. The moment I saw you, I thought it was destined by God that you would replace her to accompany me."
Yu Rou said self-deprecatingly: "That's why you went to so much trouble to marry me, and I'm just her substitute."
