just like it

Wu Xia didn't mistake the watch, and the injured person lying on the stretcher was Qiao Ruige.

Go back to two hours ago.

Qiao Mingshan held a simple family banquet in Qiao's old house today. He invited Kang Yiting's parents and a master to choose an auspicious day for Qiao Ruige and Kang Yiting's wedding.

After dinner, Qiao Mingshan said the weather was fine and asked Qiao Ruige to accompany Kang Yiting to the garden for a walk.

The garden of Qiao's old house is very large, and it was specially designed by someone. If it is in the blooming season, it should be quite interesting.It's a pity that it's winter, and apart from a few wintersweet trees, there's really nothing to see in the huge garden. Kang Yiting only walked half a circle, and he felt displeased.

She looked at Qiao Ruige who was walking a step ahead of her, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and complained: "Hey, the sun is so hot today, I didn't wear sunscreen, go and get me an umbrella."

Qiao Ruige glanced back at her, and said sarcastically, "I use an umbrella to shade the sun in winter. It's so well protected, and it's not much whiter than others."

Kang Yiting glared at him: "Are you going?"

Qiao Ruige turned around and continued to walk forward: "I have to take myself."

Kang Yiting wanted to lose his temper, so he glanced and saw Mr. Qiao, his wife and her parents sitting behind the huge French windows in the living room, drinking tea and looking at them with a smile.

Qiao Ruige can taunt her in front of them, they can't hear them anyway, but if she loses her temper and fights with him, her parents will definitely blame her for being ignorant.She was angry, but she could only hold back, and continued to follow Qiao Ruige slowly, seemingly obediently.

Qiao Xinda came out of the room with a gloomy expression on his face.He glanced at the two people walking in the garden, turned around and walked over to his car.

After the meal just now, Mr. Qiao called him to his study and informed him of two things. One was to let him resign from his current position as the general manager of the Qiao Group and send him to build a new company in the United States to explore the American market. The other was to The old man wanted to speed up the process of Qiao Ruige joining the board of directors after this Spring Festival. In order to make Qiao Ruige's brand look better, the old man asked him to transfer all the shares in his hand to Qiao Ruige.

Qiao Xinda sat stiffly on the chair for a long time before saying, "Grandpa, is it fair for you to do this?"

He clearly remembered that Qiao Mingshan said that his character is more suitable for "keeping a business", while Qiao Ruige is more suitable for "starting a business". Why is he the one who is sent to the United States to expand the territory now?Not only that, but he had to hand over all the years of hard work to Qiao Ruige?

He couldn't help but said again: "For so many years, I have contributed to Joe's. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Qiao Mingshan waved his hand: "Don't think so, I have my reasons for letting you go to the United States. Ruige is going to get married, so it's not easy to tell him to live separately after getting married. Besides, the development of the American market is all yours. Qiao's property will not be less than you, how can it be unfair? Believe in grandpa, I feel the same for your two grandchildren. "

Qiao Xinda knew the old man's temper, and it was useless to argue about what he decided.

He went out, got into the car, looked at Qiao Ruige and Kang Yiting who were walking leisurely in the distance ahead, and started the car.

Outside the operating room, the red light "in operation" was on, which was particularly dazzling.

Mr. Qiao sat on a chair with his arms around the weeping Mrs. Qiao with a worried expression on his face. They were surrounded by many relatives of the Qiao family who had heard the news, all of them looked worried.

Jiang Miao sat with Wu Xia on the bench at the other end of the corridor, and Luo Yuchuan, who was notified, had already arrived.

This floor has been quickly blocked by Qiao's family. If Mrs. Qiao didn't recognize Wu Xia, they would have been invited to leave.

The door of the operating room opened from time to time, and a nurse ran out and didn't know who to call someone, or a nurse carrying several generations of plasma hurriedly ran into the operating room through the corridor.

Every time the door is opened and closed, the hearts of the crowd are tightened.

Jiang Miao glanced worriedly at Wu Xia from time to time, and Wu Xia had been looking intently in the direction of the operating room, maintaining a motionless posture, as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Miao looked at Luo Yuchuan who was on the side, and the two exchanged worried looks.

After thinking about it, Jiang Miao raised her hand and put it on Wu Xia's shoulder. Wu Xia who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "It's okay."

Both Jiang Miao and Luo Yuchuan were stunned.

Wu Xia said: "As he said, his grandfather told his fortune for him, saying that he has a lot of horoscopes, that he will be rich and prosperous in this life, and ordinary minor disasters and tribulations can't stop him at all."

This was what Qiao Ruige said jokingly to him after he was almost hit by a flowerpot in the clubhouse, and he remembered it almost verbatim.

Looking at the dazzling "in operation" on the door of the operating room, Jiang Miao and Luo Yuchuan couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.

I hope this time, it's really just a small disaster.

The operation was still going on, the elevator door opened, and a group of reporters with cameras and microphones came out.

It wasn't until they saw Qiao Mingshan and Kang Yiting coming out of another elevator that Jiang Miao and the others realized that this was a press conference specially arranged by the Qiao family, but they didn't expect Qiao Mingshan to respond to the media in person.

As if he was used to this kind of scene, Mr. Qiao and his wife outside the operating room did not move, and the relatives of Qiao's family did not react too much. Qiao Mingshan went outside the operating room first, and asked Mr. Qiao about the operation. What did Mr. Qiao say? Didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Qiao Mingshan sighed. He was already an old man in his eighties. He was leaning on crutches at the moment, and his tall body seemed a bit stooped.

Kang Yiting followed beside him, sobbing with his head bowed, wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

Those reporters obviously had an explanation in advance, and after only taking a few photos outside the operating room, they followed Qiao Mingshan to the end of the corridor to ask questions.

The direction they came was exactly where Jiang Miao and the others were. Luo Yuchuan pulled Jiang Miao, and Jiang Miao pulled Wu Xia. Luo Yuchuan pushed open the door of the safe passage next to him, and the three of them escaped in.

Through the glass on the passage door, Qiao Mingshan and Kang Yiting can be seen being interviewed. Similarly, the passage door cannot isolate those voices.

Only one reporter took the lead to ask a question: "Chairman, please explain the situation to us."

Qiao Mingshan was leaning against the window sill, leaning on crutches with folded hands, looking very sad. He said to the reporters: "This is an accident."

According to Qiao Mingshan, today was originally a meeting between the two families to discuss the wedding of the young couple. Qiao Ruige and Kang Yiting walking in the garden.

Qiao Mingshan sighed heavily, looked at Kang Yiting who was standing beside him sobbing, and said, "It happened too fast and too suddenly. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ruige pushed her away in order to protect Yiting, so that he avoided it." The serious consequences of two people being injured at the same time. Rui Ge is a good boy, and I can also see that he attaches great importance to Yi Ting, and he would rather be seriously injured than protect her so that she is unscathed."

Immediately, a reporter quickly flattered: "Mr. Xiao Qiao is really a brave and caring person."

Another reporter asked Kang Yiting a question: "Can Ms. Kang tell us about the specific situation at that time? How did you feel at that time?"

Kang Yiting's eyes flickered as though she still had lingering fears, she said: "I...I don't know, everything happened so fast, I didn't have time to be afraid, so..."

Covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, she sobbed softly.

A female reporter asked: "Then, is there anything Ms. Kang would like to say to Mr. Xiao Qiao in the operating room?"

Kang Yiting was stunned for a moment, tears fell down again, looking really pitiful.

Since the reporters had received money, they naturally wouldn't be aggressive and urged her to answer immediately, so they all waited for her to cry tacitly.

Kang Yiting cried for a while, then sniffled, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said, "I just hope he's safe."

Qiao Mingshan said in a deep voice, "It will be fine."

Kang Yiting nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, he will be fine, he will recover as soon as possible, and our wedding in May will definitely be held as scheduled."

Immediately, a reporter caught the point: "So is the wedding already scheduled for May? Can you disclose the exact time?"

Qiao Mingshan blurted the question with a few casual answers.

The short press conference ended quickly, and the reporters dispersed one after another to rush back to write and publish their articles. Qiao Mingshan and Kang Yiting also walked to the operating room.

In the safe passage, Jiang Miao and Luo Yuchuan glanced at each other, then at Wu Xia in unison.

They heard what Qiao Mingshan and Kang Yiting said clearly, so they were even more worried about Wu Xia.

Qiao Ruige pushed Kang Yiting away, he saved her, in order to save her, that's why he was hurt so badly.

They didn't know what Wu Xia's mood would be when they heard this, and they couldn't bear to ask.

The light in the hospital corridor hit Wu Xia's face through the glass on the passage door, which made his face look sickly pale. His eyelids were drooping, his face was expressionless, and he was extraordinarily quiet.

When the voices in the corridor faded away, Wu Xia pushed open the passage door, walked into the corridor, walked slowly back to the bench and sat down, as if nothing had happened just now.

The "in operation" red light is still on.

Luo Yuchuan looked at Qiao's family waiting outside the operating room. He wondered if it was Mr. Qiao or Mr. Qiao's intention. Many people had dispersed, leaving only Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao and a person who looked like a nanny.

He looked at the time, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the operation had been going on for three hours, and it seemed that there was still no sign of it ending.

He bent down, patted Jiang Miao's shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I'll go get some food."

Jiang Miao shook her head, just about to say something, then turned to look at Wu Xia: "Do you want to eat? You are still sick."

After a while, Wu Xia shook his head slowly.

Jiang Miao looked at Luo Yuchuan, Luo Yuchuan sighed and said, "Wait a minute."

He turned around and walked towards Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao. Jiang Miao watched him say something to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, then turned around and took the elevator downstairs.

When Luo Yuchuan came back, he was carrying a few bags in his hand. He first went to Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, handed two bags to them, and walked back to Jiang Miao and Wu Xia with the other two.

Luo Yuchuan handed a bag to Jiang Miao: "Give him one."

Jiang Miao took it and found that it was packed with milk, which was still hot.

He took out a box, plugged in the straw, and didn't care that Wu Xia didn't respond at all like a wooden man, he took Wu Xia's hand and stuffed the milk into his hand.

Luo Yuchuan took out a piece of bread from another bag, tore off the wrapping paper, and handed it to Wu Xia, saying, "Eat a little, at least wait for him to come out."

Wu Xia's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly raised her hand, took the bread, slowly put it to her mouth, and took a small bite.

Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, made another box of milk and handed it to Luo Yuchuan, and took a piece of bread to eat herself.

The three of them sat at the end of the corridor, looking at the door of the operating room, eating tasteless bread, and waiting for good news to come out of that door.

Seven hours and 7 minutes after entering the operating room, the red light outside the operating room went out.

The people waiting outside the door all stood up, looking eagerly at the door of the operating room.

Not long after, the door of the operating room opened, and Qiao Ruige, who was covered with an oxygen mask, wrapped in bandages and had countless tubes inserted, was pushed out, and hurriedly pushed to the ICU.

Both Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao hurriedly followed. Jiang Miao thought Wu Xia would follow, but he followed two steps in that direction, but found that Wu Xia did not move.

He turned to look at Wu Xia.

Wu Xia rubbed her numb legs and said to them, "It's late, I'm going back to the ward, you guys should go back too."

Jiang Miao was a little surprised, he looked at Luo Yuchuan.

Luo Yuchuan looked at the time, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment, but she also understood.

Qiao Ruige was able to leave the operating room, at least for the time being, his life was not in danger. When he entered the ICU, they followed him and saw nothing. Besides, Wu Xia was still a patient in the hospital, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, so he arrived at the hospital early. time for the patient to rest.

Jiang Miao and Luo Yuchuan wanted to send Wu Xia back to the ward, but Wu Xia refused, saying, "I can do it myself, it's not that I don't know the way."

Luo Yuchuan handed him the bag in his hand, which contained a lot of milk and bread.

Wu Xia waved her hand: "No, I'm not hungry."

Jiang Miao took the bag and stuffed it into his hand: "If you're hungry at night, have it for supper. If you're not hungry, save it for breakfast tomorrow."

Wu Xia held the bag and twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to give a smile, but unfortunately it was not successful.

Jiang Miao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't forget that you are also a patient now, take care of yourself first, he has someone to take care of him."

Wu Xia didn't speak, and after a while, she nodded lightly: "I know."

Came to the parking lot of the hospital, got in the car, Jiang Miao fastened his seat belt, but Luo Yuchuan didn't rush to start the car.

He looked at Jiang Miao and asked, "Why are you keeping it from me?"

Jiang Miao was speechless. He knew that when he called Luo Yuchuan to tell him, he knew that there would be such a question.He lowered his head slightly, like a child who has done something wrong.

Before he could think up his words, Luo Yuchuan himself said, "Forget it, I understand."

Jiang Miao looked at him in surprise.

Luo Yuchuan said: "It's not that I want to hide it from me, but I want to hide it from Qiao Ruige."

Jiang Miao fell silent.Luo Yuchuan's guess was right, Wu Xia wanted to hide it from Qiao Ruige, but who would have thought that he would see a doctor and be hospitalized in another hospital, but he would still meet Qiao Ruige who was sent for emergency treatment.

If it was not fate, Jiang Miao would not believe it.

But is this fate a good thing for Wu Xia?

Jiang Miao said, "I'm worried about him."

"Ah."

"You heard the press conference in the afternoon. I couldn't believe it. Qiao Ruige... he actually saved people." Jiang Miao said.

Luo Yuchuan said, "It's not impossible."

Jiang Miao nodded: "Yes, I shouldn't think so. Everyone has a warm-blooded and kind side. Just because he is a playboy doesn't mean he won't be brave."

Luo Yuchuan looked at him and said nothing.

Jiang Miao said again: "It's just that, in that case... Wu Xia must be very sad."

Luo Yuchuan turned to look at him again, seeming to hesitate to speak.

"Huh?" Jiang Miao was puzzled, "What do you want to say?"

Luo Yuchuan thought for a while, but still said: "That Ms. Kang didn't wait for the operation."

Jiang Miao was taken aback. When he was waiting outside the operating room today, he faintly felt that something was not quite right. Now that Luo Yuchuan had said this, he gradually figured out something.

The fiancé who saved her life was going through life and death in the operating room. As a fiancée, she disappeared after the press conference, which was unreasonable anyway.

"Qiao Xinda never showed up." Luo Yuchuan said again.

Jiang Miao was taken aback again.

That's right, this is what he always felt was wrong. Qiao Xinda's car had an accident, why didn't his people come to the hospital to take a look?Could it be that he was also injured?Shouldn't you go to the hospital?

"They...what the hell is..." Jiang Miao murmured, not knowing how to express it.

Luo Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then started the car and said, "The most important thing is for people to survive."

Five days later, Qiao Ruige was completely out of danger and transferred from the ICU to the VIP ward. After half a month, he began to slowly recover his sanity. By the end of March, he could finally get out of the bed and sit instead of lying all day.

On this day, Mrs. Qiao went to see him with a can of chicken soup again. Just after entering the ward, she saw Qiao Ruige sitting leaning on the head of the bed with his clothes open, and the nurse aunt was rubbing towels in the basin. Rieger wiped himself.

Mrs. Qiao walked over to put down the thermos. She noticed that Qiao Ruige had been looking at the nurse's aunt, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed not very happy.

So she said to Qiao Ruige: "Shall I wipe it for you?"

But the auntie of the nurse said: "It's already healed, it's time to take medicine later."

Mrs. Qiao said "Oh", and stretched out her hand to help Qiao Ruige close up and button his clothes.

The nurse's aunt took the water basin into the bathroom to pour water, and came out after a while to give Qiao Ruige medicine.

Mrs. Joe said, "I'll do it."

The medicines were prepared and delivered every day, and the nurse auntie took out the medicines and handed them to Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Qiao asked her to go to rest first, seeing that there was nothing wrong.

After feeding Qiao Ruige the medicine, Mrs. Qiao sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked at Qiao Ruige carefully.

Qiao Ruige was still wrapped in a fixed bandage between his chest and abdomen. His ribs were broken and he couldn't sit for a long time. A cast was put on his right leg, and he was not in a very comfortable state.

But Mrs. Qiao can only feel rejoicing looking at him now.

Broken ribs, luckily did not puncture the internal organs; ruptured spleen, fortunately the sutures went well and did not need to be removed; fractured right leg, fortunately the doctor said that the bones were well connected, and there would be no problems after rehabilitation; because he fell down after being hit On a slope more than one meter high, the head was bumped, but fortunately there was no bleeding in the brain; the abdomen was also hit, but fortunately it was only a few contusions, leaving no problems that would affect the function.

For a long time before, Qiao Ruige’s sleepiness was much longer than that of being awake every day. Mrs. Qiao was worried that there would be some problems in his sleep. The doctor told her that he lost a lot of blood. Sleeping more will help his recovery of Qi and blood.

At that time, Mrs. Qiao was dubious, but seeing Qiao Ruige's expression now, she couldn't help but not believe it.

The doctor also said that Qiao Ruige was in good health and would recover faster, but Mrs. Qiao didn't quite believe it.

It has been more than a month. Although Qiao Ruige is sober and can sit up, he always looks like he is in a state of indecision, lazy and lack of energy. It doesn't seem right to say that he has no energy. He just doesn't seem to be here. .

Mrs. Qiao opened the thermos, poured out a bowl of chicken soup, and said to Qiao Ruige: "You look better today, it seems that drinking some chicken soup every day is also useful."

Qiao Ruige turned his eyes to look at her, and looked at her, as if he wanted to say something.

Mrs. Qiao smiled: "Are you afraid of gaining weight? It doesn't matter. I will exercise after I am done. I will be a handsome man again."

Of course she wanted Qiao Ruige to be able to communicate with her, but since Qiao Ruige woke up, for such a long time, he has been silent most of the time, at most expressing "um" and "ah".

The doctor checked that his throat and vocal cords were normal, and Mrs. Qiao could only secretly worry whether his silence was caused by a psychological problem after the accident.

But even though she was anxious, she couldn't show it in front of him, so she still smiled and picked up the bowl of chicken soup, stirred it with a spoon, blew it, and fed it to Qiao Ruige's mouth.

"Drink it, it's not hot anymore," Mrs. Qiao said.

Qiao Ruige didn't drink, but still looked at Mrs. Qiao with thoughtful eyes.

Mrs. Qiao put down the bowl and asked patiently, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Ruige opened his mouth, and Mrs. Qiao's heart suddenly moved.

She heard Qiao Ruige ask hesitantly in a dry voice that hadn't uttered for a long time: "Where's Wu Xia?"
