Chapter 497 No One Wants to Bow First

Zhou Ran didn't know that Zhao Xiaohe was injured, but her friends almost knew everything by the next day.

Deng Qing, Bai Zhu and Song Ning came to visit Zhao Xiaohe with gifts.

Some colleagues from other departments also came to visit one after another.

Even Shen Weidong and Duan Feifei came to see her. Shen Weidong also specifically told her to rest and recuperate, and that her salary would not be deducted for sick leave.

Only Zhou Ran.

He seemed to have disappeared from her world and didn't call her for three whole days.

Zhao Xiaohe stared at the ward door with her good eye every day, hoping that Zhou Ran would suddenly appear. She was almost waiting for her husband to show up.

Lu Mingyue couldn't bear it and wanted to go find Zhou Ran.

"do not go."

Zhao Xiaohe quickly stopped him, "I just want to see how long it will take him to remember me."

The cell phone has been repaired and is never turned off from morning to night, but Zhou Ran has not even sent a message.

The day ended unpleasantly, and Zhou Ran has refused to bow his head until now.

It was like a bad sign, indicating that their nine-year love affair might end in failure.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaohe was getting more depressed day by day, Lu Mingyue gently advised: "You are unwilling to take the initiative to call him, but you are reluctant to break up. In the end, you are the only one who suffers."

When Zhao Xiaohe heard this, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Mingyue, I can't bear to leave him. For nine whole years, I stayed with him for so long. Even in the most difficult times, we never thought of giving up."

But now, they have lost the 88 yuan betrothal gift.

Or it can be said that we lost to reality.

"When I first met Zhou Ran, his temper was even worse than it is now. He had a sad face all day long, got angry easily, and was extremely difficult to coax."

"But I just love him. I am willing to coax him slowly. After a while, he will know how good I am and will be willing to accommodate me."

It took Zhao Xiaohe nine years to transform the violent young man Zhou Ran into a normal man who cared about the feelings of those around him.

The longer she was with him, the more she liked him.

And as long as she thought that if she let go, another woman would appear by Zhou Ran's side, Zhou Ran would give all his current good temper and gentleness to that woman.

These advantages were all earned bit by bit by Zhao Xiaohe, and she was unwilling to give them up to others!

Hearing Zhao Xiaohe's chattering, Lu Mingyue sighed helplessly.

"But Zhou Ran refuses to marry you, what are you going to do?"

No matter how unwilling Xiao He is, Zhou Ran does not agree to the 88 yuan betrothal gift, and the two of them still have a long way to go.

"I do not know."

Zhao Xiaohe had been in Shengshi Group for so many years, so it was easy for her to collect 88 yuan. If she didn't ask Mingyue, she would definitely lend it to him without hesitation.

But Zhou Ran refused.

Zhou Ran had always disagreed with the high betrothal gift of 88 yuan demanded by Zhao's mother, so even if Zhao Xiaohe was willing to raise the money herself, he was unwilling to give in.

They are even more reluctant to be burdened with huge debts as soon as they get married. Once some steps are taken, they may need to take a bigger step or even two or three steps next.

Lu Mingyue and Zhao Xiaohe are in different situations, and cannot use her own opinions to persuade them.

She just shook her hand and said seriously: "If you need my help, you must ask."

Zhao Xiaohe knew that Lu Mingyue was referring to the 88 yuan betrothal gift.

Her eyes were slightly moist.

"Thank you, Xiao Mingyue."

Lu Mingyue sat for a while and then left.

She is now busier than before. In addition to adapting to the position of director Jiang Yaoxin, she also has to occasionally take time to go to the SK studio to study the design details of new styles with Lu Jinnan.

Mingyue was worried that Zhao Xiaohe was unable to move around, so she hired two nurses to take turns to take care of her. As soon as Lu Mingyue left, Zhao Xiaohe became even more depressed, like a deflated balloon.

She opened WeChat and the last chat record with Zhou Ran was still the one from a few days ago.

Xiao He: Today I cooked Tremella soup (picture)

Zhou Ran: Overtime.

Scrolling further, most of the messages were sent by myself, with very few replies from Zhou Ran.

The more I watch, the sadder I feel.

Maybe when two people are together for a long time, love will really turn into family affection. No matter how passionate the love was, in the end it will return to the daily necessities of life.

Zhao Xiaohe suddenly felt discouraged.

So be it.

In this cold war, whoever bows first will lose.

Zhou Ran would not bow his head. If he bowed his head, it would mean that he was willing to give 88 yuan as a betrothal gift.

She refused to bow her head either.

Zhao Xiaohe had received higher education, so she knew that her behavior of supporting her brother was actually very scary. But deep down, she agreed with her mother's words.

If her parents hadn't given her life, if her whole family hadn't saved money to send her to college, how could she have such a prestigious and respectable job now?

Based on this sense of identity, Zhao Xiaohe would rather raise the 88 yuan herself than let her parents be disappointed in her.

Zhao Xiaohe was leaning against the pillow feeling uncomfortable when she suddenly heard a gentle voice.

"How do you feel today? Are your eyes still hurting?"

Zhao Xiaohe quickly opened her eyes and saw Su Zhuoming standing in front of her bed in a white coat, followed by several interns.

Su Zhuoming is now her attending physician, who comes every day to check her eyes and follow up on her condition.

Every time, he would be followed by a group of admiring interns.

Zhao Xiaohe quickly said: "It will hurt, but I can bear it."

"If it really hurts, be sure to tell me and I can increase the dosage of the painkiller."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Su."

Seeing that Zhao Xiaohe looked well behaved, Su Zhuoming couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. He then gave her a few careful instructions before taking a few interns to inspect the next room.

In the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the ward——

Mother Zhao.

As soon as Mother Zhao entered the ward, she was shocked to see that half of Zhao Xiaohe's eye was covered with thick gauze.

"Why are you injured like this?"

When Zhao Xiaohe saw her mother, she frowned. "Mom, why are you here?"

Every time Mother Zhao came to see her, she only asked for money and absolutely nothing else.

"Mom came here this time to tell you some great news."

Speaking of this, Zhao's mother was beaming with joy, "There is a railway line that will be built through our village, and our house happens to be located at the site of the demolition."

When Zhao Xiaohe heard the word "demolition", she was stunned for a moment, but also quite happy.

"Mom, how much is the demolition fee?"

"We were originally going to give you 135 million, but considering that your brother will need a new house when he gets married, we accepted another plan and asked for a new house."

The new house is located in the downtown area and is quite large, with an area of ​​120 square meters and a parking space.

The most important thing is that the new house is well decorated, and you can move in with just your luggage after completing all the formalities.

"That's not bad either." Zhao Xiaohe looked at her mother's joyful expression and couldn't help but feel better.

She suddenly remembered what happened between her and Zhou Ran, and asked tentatively: "Mom, whose name should be on the new house?"

"You little girl, your brother is the only child in our Zhao family, so of course it should be written in your brother's name." Mother Zhao glared at her in disapproval, "What do you mean by asking this? Do you still want to compete with your brother for the house?"

"no!"

Zhao Xiaohe had never thought of competing with her brother for anything, but when she heard her mother's matter-of-fact tone, she still felt a little disappointed.

She perked up and asked, "Mom, since our house is being demolished, why did you come here?"

"It's not just me." Zhao's mother said, "Your father has come out too." "The house in my hometown was demolished, and your father and I have no place to live. Isn't this why we came to seek refuge with you?"
