"Welcome."
When the patient walked in, the handsome man who was said to be able to apply medicine for girls was sitting behind the desk eating hawthorn. He spoke without much sincerity.
"Doctor, I …"
"Can I prescribe some medicine for you?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. Listen to me first. Where do I feel uncomfortable …"
"You have to prescribe medicine if you feel uncomfortable. There's no other way."
"Doctor, I came all the way here. Let me finish first. Where do I feel uncomfortable? Please, let me finish …"
"I'll let you talk all the way back to your house. Talk all the way back. If you don't finish when you reach your house, you have to start from the beginning again, okay?"
"Is this how you treat people?"
"That's it … Do you want hawthorn?"
"I'm not a kid anymore …"
"I haven't eaten it in a long time …"
In a clean and bright room, the scene outside could be seen through the transparent glass wall. The two people who were talking were indeed no longer children. Of course, they didn't look that old either. The man who was usually called "Little Meng" sat down and looked at the hawthorn candies being pushed to him. He grabbed one and threw it into his mouth. Looking back, the clinic was brightly lit at night. Under the cover of the night, the intersection was like transparent amber. There weren't many patients at this time. A child with a schoolbag sat in the consultation room next door. The nurse named Xun was wiping the glass door with a rag.
Even though he had seen her many times over the years, just looking at her back still made him feel a sense of beauty and tranquility. What a wonderful woman. After all these years, the feeling she gave off didn't change at all. Her face was so beautiful that it was almost perfect, gentle, and quiet. It seemed that he had felt this way since the first time he saw her in high school. However, after more than ten years, every time he saw her, he could even feel a pure and unripe aura from her … Of course, he wasn't the only one who could feel this kind of beauty.
"Hey, someone is flirting with your girl …" Little Meng pointed outside with his mouth.
A middle-aged man who looked like a successful person — probably the child's father — was talking to the nurse with a gentle and polite smile.
The man behind the desk shook his head in boredom.
"It's not the first time. It's normal. This person has been coming here a lot recently. Hey, the candies are from him."
"Why would he give you candies if he's flirting with your girl?"
Little Meng could not help but wonder.
"Half a year ago, his son came here for treatment. After he recovered, he often brought his son here to deliver things. The preserved fruit was given to Auntie Xun by the boy. Since Auntie Xun refused to eat it, I helped her share some of it."
"… Gu Jiaming, you really don't know how to be particular … What do you think will happen if he comes in and sees you eating the preserved fruit his son gave you?"
"They're particular about not being able to eat good preserved fruits …"
Most of the two people in the room had bad intentions. As they talked about these things, they felt that the preserved fruits were more delicious.
After chatting for a while, Little Meng smiled and asked, "Where's Shasha?"
"She took Yunting to the beauty salon to help teach yoga. She's always running around, but the clinic is really quite boring … Where's your wife?
She's giving instructions in Xinning recently. I saw her on TV. "" I called her.
She said that she was still on the highway. In fact, I just came back today. This week, there was a jewelry exhibition in Xinning, which our company took over. A group of robbers went there the night before yesterday, and they almost succeeded. I was there at that time, so I killed three of them. Seven of them were caught. Tut-tut, they were all Americans. They used to be special forces, so they were difficult to deal with … Have you seen the news? "
"I didn't notice …"
It was rare for them to encounter this kind of thing at present, but they didn't make a fuss at this time. At most, they would complain that China's society was finally connected with the world. During the chat, two figures, one big and one small, pushed the glass door from outside and came in. It was a woman in a black dress and a little boy with a band-aid on his face. There were conversations outside, "Auntie Xun." "What's the matter?" "Xun, ignore him … Have you had dinner?" "Personal grudges …"
Little Meng looked at them for a while, "Your son was beaten."
"He fought with Taotao again …"
While they were talking, the woman in a black dress also pushed the door and came in, "Brother Meng, is everything okay in Xinning?"
"Hi, Lingjing, are you off work?"
"Well, I saw on TV that there was a robbery in the jewelry exhibition. I was afraid that you would have an accident, so I specially called Sister Qingqing. She said that you were at the scene. Fortunately, you were not injured …"
"Ha-ha, it's okay. It's just a small scene."
Jiaming on the opposite side shrugged, "Yes, you see, Brother Meng looks more and more like Brad Pitt. Maybe 007 will ask him to play the role next time. Tut-tut, Lingjing, you don't know that Brother Meng killed three robbers.
By the way, do you want to eat hawthorn? "
"Really?"
Lingjing was surprised, "You must tell us what happened later … No, you can't tell us in front of Shasha. Otherwise, she will definitely regret why she was not there … Well, the hawthorn tastes good …"
"I bought it. It's good that you like it."
Jiaming smiled and nodded without any psychological barrier. Little Meng on the opposite side suddenly laughed. His trachea was blocked by a hawthorn, so he kept coughing.
Lingjing was a little confused at once. First, she spat the hawthorn in her mouth into her palm and looked at it for a few times. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she ate it again. Then she poured a glass of water for Little Meng from the water dispenser.
"Funny again …" She squinted her eyes suspiciously, "By the way, have you gone out to eat with Xun?
Where are Shasha and Yunting? "
"Well, they ate in the restaurant across the street.
Shasha took Yunting to the beauty salon to play. "
"The person outside … has come here many times …"
Lingjing glanced outside, Lan Zi shrugged, and Little Meng shook his head and laughed.
Then Lingjing took a mop from the inner room and went out to help Xun clean. After a while, the little boy with a band-aid on his face also ran in, "Uncle Meng." Then he ran to the inner room to take a rag, "I'll help Aunt Xun clean."
"Your Yunjie is so active … just like you."
"He just clings to Xun, and I'm not active at all. I've been bullied since I was a child. At that time, I had to be protected by Lingjing and Shasha … He's like Lingjing, but he's more like me when he's in a daze.
By the way, please don't tell them about the robbers at night. Last year, they always asked me how many robbers Uncle Meng could fight alone. I was annoyed enough. He and Taotao always liked to learn from each other. I couldn't wait to put them back … "
"Ha-ha, if he knew that his father could fight dozens of robbers alone before, I don't know what he would do."
"He definitely won't believe it."
Jiaming shrugged and laughed, "I don't believe it myself. I'm a peaceful man now. I haven't moved for several years. Every day, I just go out to do morning exercises. I even forget how to shoot the gun. By the way …"
When he was talking, the phone rang. Jiaming took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. There was a woman's profile picture on it. It was Dongfang Wan. He pressed the answer button, "Hello … Oh, where are you now?"
"The second last toll station. You'll see Jianghai soon. Are you still in the clinic?"
"Well, it's almost time to get off work … How about you?
So fast … Have you finished the work this time? "
"I've signed a lot of contracts. It's a headache. I feel that I'm about to sell myself. But finally, I've finished signing all the contracts. This time, I'll stay in Jianghai for half a month until the summer vacation. Ha-ha, by the way, I've decided where to travel during the summer vacation."
Jiaming was talking on the phone. Xiao Meng was eating hawthorn beside him. Occasionally, he heard Jiaming's loud voice in surprise, "No way, Saudi Arabia?
Are you crazy? "At last, he said," Drive carefully. "After the call, Just now said with a smile," The eldest daughter of the Dongfang family? "
"Well, Xiaowan, she'll go back to Jianghai soon. Let's find a time to get together in a few days … By the way, are you interested in traveling during the summer vacation?"
"Where are you going?"
"Saudi Arabia …"
"Uh … Where are you going in the summer? Are you crazy?"
"You heard it. I said the same thing to her just now …"
*****
After the words "Drive carefully" came from the car phone, the call was hung up. Dongfang Wan pressed the music button. In the comfortable space of the car, Xu Song's "Beauty in the Mortal World", which was previously played halfway, sounded. When the light and cheerful tune flowed out, the beautiful woman with outstanding temperament skillfully shifted gears while softly humming along with the music.
The stretch of highway with lights smoothly drove through the mountains at night. On the other side of the rushing river, sometimes close, sometimes distant, extended to the huge steel jungle in the distance.
"… The moonlight is like a soft song, the river fire is like fireflies,
The slowly flowing love is endless,
They all say that the mortal world is so beautiful,
Staying with the one you love,
White-haired fisherman and woodcutter, old moon and green mountain,
Plain and simple, worthy of being precious,
They all say that the mortal world is so beautiful,
With love in the heart, who wouldn't be beautiful,
Drink and chat happily, you consider, I raise my glass … "
The light and smooth rhythm of the song was similar to the feeling of driving. At this time, accompanied by the soft humming of the woman's voice, the car steadily flew and gradually closed the distance between it and Jianghai.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Hsu Yi-ting felt the melody and turned her head to look at her companion beside her. Her close friend for many years was like a sister. Without asking, she could understand the lightness and happiness in the other party's heart.
After many years of hard work in the business world, she was able to reach her current status and height. Although some people would say that Dongfang Wan was promoted with the help of her brother, Hsu Yi-ting, who had been her secretary for so many years, clearly knew that the woman in front of her not only had a family background, but also had the corresponding strength and courage. More importantly, her attentiveness to everything and amazing perseverance were the truly admirable qualities. Usually, some people could despise her, but once they stood on the opposite side, anyone could feel the huge sense of oppression she gave.
She hated tricks and valued open schemes. Once she had a firm foothold in any aspect, the next thing she would do was to sweep away everything. Over the years, the number of large companies and groups that had fallen in front of them had exceeded two digits. The assets directly or indirectly controlled by the "Wan" Group were in the tens of billions. In the past two years, she had also begun to take over many industries that originally belonged to the Dongfang family.
And because of her meticulous and strict self-discipline style of work and life, this beautiful woman in her twenties who had an outstanding temperament was even given a nickname such as "female devil" by the people in the company. Perhaps it was a situation similar to the current situation that made her reveal such a relaxed expression.
"Happy?"
"Well … the melody is very good."
"Haha."
She already knew about the relationship between Jiaming and Xiao Wan in 2005. After all, she and Xiao Wan were also inseparable partners. If something happened to Xiao Wan, she wouldn't be able to hide it from her. However, knowing didn't mean that she could understand. Over the years, the relationship between the two people and the way they got along had always been the most puzzling thing for Hsu Yi-ting.
The two of them had known each other for a long time. They had been classmates since high school. At that time, the way they interacted with each other was like that of enemies. She couldn't see anything special about them. After graduating from high school, her classmate, Jia Ming, whom she had to call cousin, disappeared for a while. As for why, she roughly understood later on. When her cousin reappeared in 2004, she didn't find anything strange. Who would have thought that in 2005, she would discover that the two of them were already together.
There were some things that she had to admit. Her cousin was indeed a very charming man, but at that time, he was already married and had more than one woman with him at the same time.
When she first found out that Lil Wan and Jia Ming had an affair, she instinctively thought that this was an ill-fated relationship. Perhaps they would break up soon. Who knew that such a relationship would continue. It seemed like it was sneaky, but the women around Jia Ming also seemed to know. Lil Wan's relationship with them was not bad. They would often go shopping together, travel together, and so on. It started in 2005 or even earlier. Now, it was already 2013, and this relationship had not broken up. Everyone's relationship seemed to be similar to before. She was just like before. It was really hard for her to understand.
She couldn't figure it out clearly. It didn't seem to be love. No matter how strong the love was, after eight or nine years, it seemed to have become a trickle. But to say that it had always been a trickle was a little strange. How could it be like this? She knew Xiao Wan's growth and personality very well. She had never really had a boyfriend since she was young. After she graduated from university, she started her own business and was always alone. She didn't know why she suddenly got together with Jiaming's cousin. Until now, they didn't monopolize each other. They didn't even have a status. It seemed like there was nothing very romantic until now.
Xiao Wan had a strong personality. She was independent and opinionated. She was definitely not the kind of woman who had a quiet personality and didn't have any pursuits. If she wanted a man, the men who wanted to ask her out could line up at any time. But she had never seen her have this kind of interest in others. Because of this, the way she interacted with Jiaming was particularly puzzling.
Over the years, her love life basically didn't hinder her career. For the past few years, she had been running all over the world. Even if she could go back to Jianghai, she often didn't stay for long. Even during this period, Jiaming's cousin didn't always accompany her. Other than taking out a fixed time every year to travel with a large group of people, they didn't have much time to see each other every day.
When it came to work, she would definitely do her best. But it didn't mean that she didn't care about her love life. Like today, she rushed to finish everything and drove back to Jianghai without even calling for a driver or bodyguard. Even if eight or nine years had passed, every time she saw her like this, Hsu Yi-ting could even feel a trace of love.
Perhaps she could only admire Jiaming's cousin for being such a strange person …
With this thought in mind, the woman who was softly humming next to her also noticed her expression. She smiled and said, "How is it? We're going to Jianghai. Are you happy?"
"Wha, what?"
"My brother, he'll be back in Jianghai in a few days. When the time comes, the two of you can kiss each other. Don't blame me, the boss, for not giving you a holiday …"
"Uh …" "Heh."
In the past, she had been teased many times because of this matter. Even though Hsu Yi-ting was somewhat shy in this aspect, she was somewhat immune at this time and smiled sweetly.
However, of course, the other party also had a new trick to deal with her.
"In addition, I know that in the second half of the year, I'll have to call you sister-in-law. How about it, when are you going to give birth to a baby for me to play with?"
"Uh, he …" Speaking of this, Hsu Yi-ting's face finally turned red. Dongfang Wan smiled proudly, "My brother has already called me to discuss it. I'm his only sister, and you're now my secretary. Of course, he'll tell me about his engagement with you. I reckon that your engagement will be after the matter in Saudi Arabia is settled. At that time, he'll be free for a while …"
The relationship between her good friend and her brother could be considered settled. Dongfang Wan was also happy for them. In fact, it had been many years of long-distance love. In fact, the fact that the two of them could be together at first was somewhat unexpected. Her brother's position was complicated in all aspects, and there had always been no lack of outstanding girls around him. To be able to accept the two of them until today, when it was finally confirmed that they could get married, it was really not easy. Perhaps it was because her brother was a simple person in this aspect. He had always liked girls like Lingjing. Yiting's relatively traditional personality was somewhat similar to Lingjing's.
However, going to Saudi Arabia in the summer seemed to be quite silly …
She thought about it and couldn't help but laugh again.
The car continued to move forward, speeding all the way to the city not far away on the highway …
Jianghai was close.
