Baishao's face was filled with disbelief at first, and then she flew into a rage. "I didn't expect that the gentle and virtuous wife that Zihua mentioned was such a hypocrite."
"I don't care if she's a hypocrite, or if she's just acting, but Lu Jinshen's attitude towards her really disappointed me. He would rush over to her side as soon as she called him. Since he cares so much about her, why did he insist on divorcing me? He's like a scumbag who eats what's in his bowl while looking at what's in his pot. "
"Boss is not such a person." Baishao defended Lu Jinshen.
"Why not? I've seen it clearly over the past year. Since they can't forget their old love, I'll fulfill their wish, okay? "
Baishao frowned and looked anxious. She hesitated and didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, she said, "Let me tell you about a mission that our team once went on. Maybe you'll forgive Boss then."
Tong Qiao didn't say anything and waited quietly for Baishao to speak.
Baishao looked out of the window as if she was recalling something. After a while, she said, "I remember that Boss wasn't the chief yet. He was just the captain of a detachment of the special forces. Ji Ji, Xu Zihua, and I were all soldiers under his command. We had a very good relationship, the kind of revolutionary friendship where we could entrust our lives to each other.
Once, the higher-ups issued an urgent mission. Boss took us to a mountain villa to destroy an ongoing drug deal. The other party had many people and weapons. We had a fierce battle with them.
Later, all the drugs were destroyed, and the other party was almost completely wiped out. Only the leader escaped. Several of our comrades were injured, and one of them sacrificed himself. That comrade was Xu Zihua. At that time, the other party aimed at Boss's chest, and it was Xu Zihua who rushed over and blocked the bullet for him. At that time, Sheng Yufei was Zihua's fiancée. "
Baishao stopped and looked at Tong Qiao. "Do you find it strange that Boss would marry the fiancée of his comrade who sacrificed his life for him?"
Tong Qiao nodded, her face full of doubt.
Baishao curled her lips into a bitter smile. "Actually, I don't know why. I asked Boss, but he refused to tell me. Not long after Zihua's death, Boss married Sheng Yufei. At that time, many people in the army said that he was ungrateful. As the saying goes, you shouldn't covet your friend's wife, but he married the wife of his comrade who died for him. At one point, his reputation in the army was very bad. Later, he almost sacrificed his life in a mission and used his merits to cover up those rumors."
Tong Qiao remained silent.
Baishao's clear voice continued to ring in the ward. "Some people say that Boss was blinded by lust and fell in love with Sheng Yufei. Do you believe that?"
Tong Qiao shook her head. How could a man who risked his life to save a child who was almost washed away by the flood do such an ungrateful thing?
A trace of comfort appeared in Baishao's eyes. "I don't believe it either. If Boss is ungrateful, I'd rather believe that he married Sheng Yufei in order to take care of Zihua's fiancée."
Tong Qiao frowned. "It's easy to take care of Sheng Yufei. Lu Jinshen can take care of her as a friend or as her brother. Why must he marry her?"
Baishao shook her head. "I don't know. This is just my guess. Boss didn't mention a word about this. You can ask him yourself. Maybe he will tell you the truth. Also, I've been with Boss for so many years, but I've never seen him upset over a woman. You're the first. I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that you and Sheng Yufei are definitely different in Boss's heart. "
Tong Qiao couldn't wait to know the truth. She hurriedly asked, "Which ward is he in?"
“806。”
When Tong Qiao arrived at ward 806, Lu Jinshen was still unconscious. Ji Ji stood up and stood by the side. "Sister-in-law."
Tong Qiao's gaze fell on Lu Jinshen's deep-set and slightly pale handsome face. Her heart ached as if it was being pricked by needles. "How is he?"
"There are many minor injuries on his body. There's a serious injury on his back that has been stitched up. The doctor said that he should be able to wake up soon."
Tong Qiao nodded, but her eyes were already wet.
Ji Ji consciously left the ward to give Tong Qiao and Lu Jinshen some space.
Tong Qiao sat down by the bed and looked at Lu Jinshen's face. The strange words he said when he hugged her in the private room of the bar echoed in her ears. He said that he didn't deserve to be happy. He said that 'he' was gone, but he got happiness. He said that he was guilty and that he should die alone.
Could it be that the 'he' that Lu Jinshen was referring to was Xu Zihua?
Xu Zihua was dead. He and his fiancée were separated by life and death. They could never be together. So Lu Jinshen felt that he didn't deserve to be happy?
To punish himself and to take care of Xu Zihua's fiancée, he married Sheng Yufei?
Was that so?
But if that was the case, why did he divorce Sheng Yufei?
Lu Jinshen opened his eyes and saw Tong Qiao sitting by the bed in a daze. He didn't know what she was thinking. She was wearing a hospital gown and her face was pale. "Are you okay?"
Tong Qiao snapped out of her daze. "You're awake? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you want some water? No, I'd better call the doctor. "
Lu Jinshen grabbed Tong Qiao's hand and pulled her back. "Don't go. Stay with me."
"Don't move." Tong Qiao hurriedly sat down. "I'm not leaving."
"You're really not leaving?" Lu Jinshen's eyes were deeper than usual. She didn't know if it was because he was sick.
Tong Qiao could tell from his eyes that he wasn't just referring to now. He was referring to whether she would leave the Lu family in the future.
Tong Qiao's mind was in a mess, but she knew that Lu Jinshen was injured because of her. She couldn't leave him alone at this time. "You're injured. I'll stay here to take care of you. I'm not going anywhere."
Lu Jinshen's eyes flashed with disappointment. She meant that she would still leave after he recovered. He had to make good use of this time to make her stay. "I want to drink some water."
"Wait a minute." Tong Qiao got up and poured a glass of warm water. She bent over. "Let me help you up."
Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows. "My back is injured. I can't move."
"Then … what should we do?" Tong Qiao had never taken care of a patient before, so she didn't know what to do.
Lu Jinshen didn't say anything. His deep gaze swept across Tong Qiao's lips.
Tong Qiao looked around the ward and saw a straw on the bedside table. She quickly took one and put it in the glass. Then she brought the glass to Lu Jinshen's lips. "Suck it. This way, you won't get wet."
Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows. "I don't have the strength."
"… It doesn't take much strength to suck water. Try it."
"I don't have the strength."
"…"
Tong Qiao sat by the bed with the glass of water. She frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"
