Speaking of this, she showed a shy smile, "I secretly observed the way those people walked, and they were basically staggering, otherwise it would be impossible for me to catch up."

"Then we can only guess that a few people were beaten by debt collectors a while ago, and now is the time when they need money."

"You..." Tao Yu looked at her in surprise.

He never expected that she would be able to judge so many things based on these details.

"I guessed it right?" Jiang Yuan looked at him expectantly, "I'm not that good!"

"Yeah." Tao Yu nodded incredulously. He turned to look at the medicine box next to the tea table, opened it from the outside and took out sterile cotton balls, povidone iodine and bandages. "I'll wipe it for you."

Jiang Yuan quickly waved her hand and refused: "Don't bother Mr. Tao, I will do it myself."

Tao Yu glanced at her, said nothing, turned and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Seeing him like this, she no longer refuses.

But always keep a certain distance from him.

Jiang Yuan sat obediently on the sofa, waited for him to come out, and then applied medicine and bandaged herself. "Mr. Tao, thank you."

"Be careful recently. Seeing that you put the medicine box on the coffee table, you have been injured a lot recently."

This time she was silent.

After a lot of tossing, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Yuan rubbed her sore arm and said to him, "It's getting late, Mr. Tao, I won't see you off."

She paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at him, with a complicated look in her eyes: "You tell Bo Chenchuan that I will pick up Xia Xia after I finish handling my father's affairs."

Tao Yu nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuan blinked her big eyes, looking at him expectantly.

Tao Yu suppressed the shock and surprise in his heart, nodded slightly, and said lightly: "He should miss you very much."

Jiang Yuan withdrew from her lost eyes, and looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her lips.

He stretched out his hand and said with a gentle expression, "Thank you, Dr. Tao."

Tao Yu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with her.

"Taoyu."

His voice was very cold, showing a trace of alienation, which did not match his handsome face.

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

"Taoyu..."

She didn't like Tao Yu like this, as if he rejected the friendship of a stranger.

But it was not difficult for her to guess how the person in front of her felt towards her.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Yuan woke up from the bed with two dark circles under her eyes. She squinted her eyes and began to fumble for the news on her phone.

Last night before going to bed, she paid special attention to the news.

Sure enough, the person who broke the news was arrested, and netizens discussed what he did, and the police are also investigating.

Jiang Yuan snorted coldly.

That person was just trying to blackmail him, how dare he really kill someone?It's just to scare her!

She didn't bother to look any further.

After washing, she changed her clothes and was ready to go out.

As soon as the door was opened, Tao Yu stood outside the door.

He held a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Jiang Yuan opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why haven't you left yet?" She looked the man in front of her up and down.

No way.

No way!

This man sat on his sofa all night? !

Tao Yu put the plate on the dining table, and a sumptuous breakfast was prepared outside: "I'm going back to work in the city later, so I'll see you off by the way."

"Ah, oh..." Jiang Yuan realized, she hurried to the dining table, picked up a spoon to drink the porridge.

Tao Yu stood aside, silently staring at her as she ate.

Halfway through eating, Jiang Yuan suddenly put down the spoon, looking hesitant to speak.

Tao Yu raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"You..." Jiang Yuan bit her lip and finally decided to confess.

She put down her chopsticks and looked directly into Tao Yu's eyes: "Do you like me?"

Tao Yu's eyes darkened slightly.

With this appearance, she couldn't help but start to hesitate again.

She might be right.

Jiang Yuan grabbed his arm eagerly: "I'm sorry, I..."

Tao Yu was silent.

"I have always regarded you as Bo Chenchuan's friend, you should understand what I mean."

Her beautiful peach eyes were full of apology, and her voice became a little more tactful.

Tao Yu pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly: "I'm going to take care of you instead of Bo Chenchuan, don't think too much about it." She put down her phone, and after eating, she stopped talking about it with Dr. Tao.

As usual, go to the hospital to accompany assistant Xiaozao's mother.

Seeing that the client's mother's spirit was much worse than before, Jiang Yuan asked worriedly: "Auntie, how is your body feeling?"

Wang Minlan smiled and said weakly, "I still can't die."

She felt uncomfortable looking at it, and hugged her mother: "Don't talk nonsense, Auntie will definitely live a long life!"

Wang Minlan patted her on the back and said lovingly, "You too."

"I'll look for Xiaozao's whereabouts first, and I'll tell you as soon as I have news."

Wang Minlan nodded, but did not speak.

She had pinned all her hopes on Jiang Yuan, and only hoped that her daughter would be safe.

After Jiang Yuan left, Wang Minlan turned her gaze out of the window.

Her ward is located on the third floor, and outside the balcony are gardens and green plants. At the end of spring, the eyes are full of greenery.

The scene from more than 20 years ago appeared in Wang Minlan's mind——

It was an evening five years ago.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, warm and drowsy.

That night, she suddenly felt an overwhelming nausea in her stomach.

She rushed to the bathroom and threw up.

She didn't feel much better until she vomited her last mouthful of sour water.

Wang Minlan supported the wall and slowly moved out.

As soon as she walked into the living room, her feet were soft and she fell to the ground suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a crisp sound of glass shattering.

It turned out that she had stepped on an empty bottle next to the trash can.

She didn't have the strength to get up that day, so she lay down on the ground and pretended to be dizzy.

She heard someone rushing over and lifted her to the hospital.

In the emergency room, the doctor said after examination: "The patient is anemic and needs rest."

Immediately, the nurse gave her glucose.

She overheard the nurse's conversation in a daze.

The nurse seemed to be consoling her family: "Wang Minlan's husband in the next bed seems to have brought another woman to the hospital, and she seems to be more pregnant."

The ward was extremely quiet, except for the sound of dripping water from the infusion tube, the only sound was Wang Minlan's breathing.

Her face was pale as paper, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, her eyelashes were trembling, as if she was about to wake up.

"woke up."

A soft and gentle voice came from her ear, and then she felt that she was pushed into another door.

This time, there was no noise outside the door, it was extremely quiet.

Gradually her thoughts came alive.

This world is full of all kinds of instruments and dashboards, medical equipment and other types. Every few meters, a doctor or nurse in uniform walks by.

But when she pushed open the door of the compartment, she found that the compartment was empty.

She froze for a moment, then her expression changed drastically, she ran down the stairs, stumbled out of the hospital, and ran wildly all the way.

Her memory is superb, and she clearly remembers that when she ran away from home, her father called her a few times from behind, but she couldn't hear her at all.

It wasn't until she got home that she found her father lying in a pool of blood.

She screamed in fright, her whole body collapsed, and she stayed at home all night in a daze. The next morning, she got into a car accident and lost her memory.

That painful past flooded into her mind like a tide, she covered her head and sobbed softly.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yuan heard her crying and quickly supported her.

"I want to drink water." Wang Minlan said hoarsely, the dream just now made her afraid.

Now that she and Xiaozao depend on each other for life, she never thought that she would disappear.

Jiang Yuan poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her, and pressed the recording button on the phone involuntarily. As a lawyer, she had to record every word she said.

Holding the glass, she raised her head and took a sip, slowly calming down.

"I..." Wang Minlan hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know what to say to her daughter.

Jiang Yuan tilted her head and looked at her suspiciously: "Auntie, did you remember something?"

"I seem to remember it a little bit." Wang Minlan shook her head, "But I just... just thought of a long-ago thing."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuan asked hopefully.

Wang Minlan lowered her eyes to conceal the deep sadness in her eyes, she sighed softly: "His father...he...he didn't do it on purpose."

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

Xiaozao's father...

not on purpose?

How could Xiaozao's father not do it on purpose?

She sat obediently by the bed and looked at Wang Minlan quietly.

"When I married his father, I was still young. I thought he was nice to me, but then I realized that no man is nice to his wife for no reason. He is nice to you only because he lacks a daughter-in-law."

Wang Minlan took a deep breath and continued: "After four years of marriage with his father, he filed for divorce with me. I was unwilling at the time, but he insisted and even threatened me."

Jiang Yuan stared at her blankly.

Her father... actually used such despicable means to force her mother to divorce?

"At that time, I was eight months pregnant and the child was still young. I couldn't leave the child alone. So I had to sign the divorce agreement and transfer all the properties under my name to his name, including the apartment under my name."
