Chapter 1467

"My mother-in-law is not wrong."

Lin Ran's face did not show any dissatisfaction or anger towards Jiang Li because of what Cui Qinglan said. She said: "Before I married my husband, I heard a lot of stories about my mother-in-law from him. Later, when he brought me home and I first met my mother-in-law, I fell in love with my husband's mother, my current mother-in-law.

After a pause, Lin Ran smiled and said: "I'm not lying to you. My mother-in-law is really good. One day you will also fall in love with an elder like my mother-in-law. She is a gentle, wise, and knowledgeable lady. Under her guidance, not only did my husband win the honor of the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but my eldest brother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and three brothers-in-law also won it. They have developed very well in their respective fields of work. My parents envy my parents-in-law a lot! ”

For her own hidden thoughts, Cui Qinglan learned a lot about Jiang Li's family from Lin Ran. Moreover, in the past few years, when the college entrance examination results were released, the news media reported a lot about Jiang Li's family.

Even if she didn't read the newspaper, Cui Qinglan would have seen it sitting at home watching the news broadcast.

Now, listening to Lin Ran's praise of Jiang Li's mother-in-law, Cui Qinglan would be lying if she said she didn't envy her!

Because her ex-mother-in-law was a troublemaker. When she learned that she didn't want children after marriage, she didn't have the slightest good impression of her. Every time she saw her, she either gave her a cold face or made indirect accusations and sneered at her.

With such a mother-in-law, the attitude of other people in her ex-husband's family towards her was not very good.

They all treated her as an outsider. Once she appeared, they immediately ended the topic they were talking about, either sitting quietly watching TV, or eating melon seeds and peanuts to amuse the younger generation at home.

Anyway, she didn't see her at all!

"Is your mother-in-law really that good? So good that you don't mind her saying bad things about you? "

Cui Qinglan felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but add fuel to the fire in front of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran didn't answer, but asked: "Do you still remember a children's TV program we watched when we were young?"

"What?"

Cui Qinglan didn't react to what Lin Ran meant for a while.

"My mother-in-law is 'Teacher Pear', is it a surprise?"

Seeing Cui Qinglan's eyes wide open, Lin Ran couldn't hide his pride between his eyebrows: "My mother-in-law is also a well-known national athlete. Every time she participates in a competition, she can win several gold medals by herself, bringing glory to our country!"

"Listen to Teacher Pear's stories?"

Cui Qinglan said to herself.

"That's right."

Lin Ran smiled and nodded. She said: "My mother-in-law is beautiful and elegant. She is really like a fairy. Although she is in her early 50s now, she looks at most 30 years old. When she walks with us, she is even younger than us!"

Cui Qinglan didn't say anything.

"It is said that time never defeats beauty. I have truly experienced the meaning of this in my mother-in-law! "

Lin Ran said sincerely, even with unconscious admiration in her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I have learned a lot from my mother-in-law in the past few years of marrying my husband, and my mother-in-law treats me very kindly on weekdays. If I didn't really do anything wrong, if I didn't really treat me as a daughter-in-law, with my mother-in-law's temperament, she would never blame me.

Moreover, even if my mother-in-law blames me, she has reasons and evidence, not just talking about me casually. "

"Then you are really lucky to have met a reasonable and good mother-in-law, unlike me, in the marriage with my ex-husband, my mother-in-law always finds fault with me, even points fingers at others, and sneers at me. "

Hearing Cui Qinglan's words, Lin Ran felt a little embarrassed in an instant, and she looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I'm not showing off to you that I have a good mother-in-law, I just... I just said a few more words casually, please don't be angry with me!"

"No. ”

Cui Qinglan shook her head and said, “As a friend, don’t you know me? I’m always generous!”

“Yes, yes, you are the most generous and won’t bother with me.” Lin Ran laughed and asked, “Are you really not going to find another one?”

Hearing this, Cui Qinglan was silent for a moment. She said, “If I can meet a man as good as your husband and a reasonable family, I don’t mind remarrying. Otherwise, I would rather be single for the rest of my life.”

This actually implied a tentative meaning, but Lin Ran didn’t think much about it at all. She smiled and said, “You will definitely meet a good man, but it will be very difficult to find one like my husband! After all, there are not even two leaves that are the same in this world, let alone two men with the same temperament and taste.”

Speaking of this, Lin Ran suddenly joked, “However, if you were ten years younger, I could introduce my husband’s fourth brother to you.”

Cui Qinglan blushed, “You…what are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who likes to be young? "

Lin Ran laughed: "No, no, but I also said that if you were ten years younger, I would be your matchmaker!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tickle you."

Cui Qinglan glared.

Lin Ran: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, but to be honest, my husband's fourth brother is really excellent. Well, to be more precise, my husband's brothers and sisters are all excellent and outstanding. Those who are married have found partners who are not ordinary. Not to mention other things, just talking about appearance, my husband's family can definitely be called all gods!"

"Don't say it, if you keep talking, I wish I could become you!"

Cui Qinglan tested Lin Ran again.

However, Lin Ran still didn't notice anything. She smiled: "If you could become me, wouldn't this world become a fantasy?!"

"Then let's make a hypothesis. If I really become you one day, do you think your husband might recognize that I'm not you?"

Cui Qinglan asked pretending to be curious.

"Absolutely. My husband once said that even if he blindfolds his eyes, he can immediately determine whether the person who appears next to him is me. He said this is called 'love intuition'. In addition, my husband He also said there were other ways he could identify me."

The smile on Lin Ran's face was extremely bright, and her eyes were full of happiness. Such a look made Cui Qinglan's eyes hurt.

"You and your husband have such a good relationship!"

Cui Qinglan's tone revealed a sour taste.

But Lin Ran didn't notice it. She smiled sheepishly: "We are an old married couple. There is no need to be emotional. I feel that my husband and I are not only husband and wife now, but also the closest and dearest relatives!"

Cui Qinglan changed the subject at this time: "I have always heard you say how beautiful and nice your mansion is. Do you mind if I come to your house to pay my respects later?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Lin Ran responded with a smile.

"Okay, there is less than half an hour left before going to work, so I won't disturb you here. Let's talk when we have time." Cui Qinglan stood up from her chair. After being sent out of the office by Lin Ran, she did not take two steps. , his face became gloomy.

It’s not that she didn’t know that she had a failed marriage and that she had an affair. If she really regarded her as a friend, would she stab her in the heart again and again?

You praise your husband, your mother-in-law, your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Are there any friends like this?

Cui Qinglan felt that Lin Ran was just adding salt to her wounds, and felt that if she hadn't been so courageous, she and Lin Ran would have fallen out.

…

With the onset of winter, there are obviously more patients in the hospital. As a pediatrician, Lin Ran has been very busy recently and has performed several surgeries in a week.

And in order to observe the condition of the minor patients in time, I have not gone home for several days.

"Aren't you going to go home and have a look today?"

Before getting off work that day, Cui Qinglan came to Lin Ran's office and seemed to ask a casual question.

"I just had an operation this afternoon and I need to monitor the patient's condition at all times."

While sorting out the cases on his desk, Lin Ran responded to Cui Qinglan.

"Don't you miss your husband and children?"

Cui Qinglan asked with a smile.

"The child is taken care of. They know that I am busy in the hospital. As for my husband, he has been very busy recently and has no time to go home like me." Lin Ran said, with a soft look on her face: "My husband He calls me every day before going to bed and tells me not to be too tired.”

Cui Qinglan was a little disgusted when she heard this. She said, "It's great to have a husband. Look at how considerate your husband is!"

"You can also have a considerate person by your side to talk to you."

Lin Ran tidied up his desk and looked up at Cui Qinglan: "Director Zhang seems to be interested in you, don't you want to consider it?"

"You mean Director Zhang Xinglei of our Department of Pediatrics?"

Cui Qinglan frowned slightly: "Are you really talking about him?"

"What? Are you dissatisfied, or do you think it's impossible?"

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows: "Director Zhang is only a few years older than you. Although he is a little tall, he is about 175cm, which is considered short. Besides, Director Zhang has a ten-year-old son, so I can save you." When it comes to having children, I personally think you and Director Zhang are a good match."

"What does it mean to be a good match?"

Cui Qinglan was a little unhappy: "Director Zhang is six years older than me. He also has a ten-year-old son who is just average in appearance. I will not consider him."

"It's not good to pick and choose, not to mention that we are all about to reach our fourth grade. Do you think you can meet someone better if you miss Director Zhang?"

Lin Ran personally thinks Director Zhang is pretty good.

He has a gentle temperament. Although he is about 175cm tall, he is thin and looks quite tall. Furthermore, Director Zhang has a handsome appearance and a gentle personality. He was widowed five years ago and has a decent style. He is a grown man who takes care of his son alone. , she has taught her children very well, there is really nothing to fault about her, and she is a perfect match for her good friend.

I don't know if she was angry, but Cui Qinglan blurted out: "If you think Director Zhang is good, you can divorce your husband and then marry Director Zhang."

"..."

Lin Ran looked stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses and asked, "Qinglan, do you know what you are talking about?"

When Cui Qinglan was asked this question, her eyes evaded, and she responded: "I'm joking with you, but you must not take it seriously with me."

"Are you kidding like that?"

Lin Ran was still a little unhappy after all. She said: "We are friends. I think Director Zhang's conditions are just right for you. After all, you have never thought about having a child by yourself, and Director Zhang has a son. You don’t need to think too much.

Furthermore, Director Zhang has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament. He has taught his son well and is a native of Beicheng. The most important thing is that Director Zhang should be sincere towards you. This can be seen from the way he looks at you. It's hard to find, but it's easy to find priceless treasures, and it's rare to find a lover. I really think you two are suitable, and I don't want to miss a good marriage. "

Hearing this, Cui Qinglan did not respond.

Good marriage?

What's better?

Is Director Zhang’s family background better than your husband’s, or is his appearance, height, and ability better than your husband’s?

It's easy to talk, he married well, but he wants her to make do with her life. Isn't such a friend guilty?

Cui Qinglan was muttering in her heart.

Lin Ran didn't know Cui Qinglan's psychological activities. She continued to work on Cui Qinglan out of kindness, saying: "Director Zhang has no brothers, only a sister, who got married six or seven years ago. He has a house in our hospital and does not live with his parents. The only son is named Zhang Fei. He lives with his grandparents during school. He only comes to Director Zhang during winter and summer vacations. It is said that the child is very good at studying and very sensible. You married Director Zhang and have such a ready-made son. Aren't you happy?"

"What should I be happy about? Yes, I never thought about having children before, but after divorcing my ex-husband, my mind changed. I think that if I can have children, I will have a son. Under such circumstances, it is good to have a child of your own. "

Cui Qinglan pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Lin Ran, you don't have to speak well for Director Zhang in front of me. Today I have something to say to you. To be honest, if I remarry, the other party's conditions in all aspects must not be as good as your husband's, but at least not much different. Otherwise, I don't think there is anything wrong with being single."

"But Director Zhang's conditions are not bad."

Lin Ran couldn't figure out what Cui Qinglan was obsessed with. Compared with her husband, Director Zhang's conditions and family background were inferior, but was Cui Qinglan necessary to compare Director Zhang with her husband?

What's more, Director Zhang's conditions were better than many ordinary men by more than a little bit. Besides, Cui Qinglan, her friend who was almost 40, if she wanted to have a child, she would undoubtedly be a high-collar parturient. At that time, whether it was during pregnancy or delivery, there would be great danger.

Compared with her own life, Lin Ran felt that if she were Cui Qinglan, she would choose not to have a child.

——Since you have decided not to have children at the best age for childbearing, why take the risk at the age of 40?

"Lin Ran, if you insist on saying this, I suspect that you have a crush on Director Zhang. If I am right, you can just divorce and express your affection to Director Zhang. Maybe Director Zhang will register for marriage with you without saying anything."

Cui Qinglan's words were obviously dissatisfied and a little sharp. Lin Ran was not stupid and could not help but hear something wrong. She frowned: "Qinglan, I am giving you good advice. If you don't want to listen, just ignore it. Why do you have to say so much?"

Without waiting for Cui Qinglan to speak, she said: "I have a son and a daughter. I don't want to live a good life. But why do you want to divorce my husband?"

"Lin Ran, don't think my words are unpleasant. Put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, and I obviously didn't like Director Zhang, but I thought you were good and wanted to match you up, would you be happy?"

Cui Qinglan looked at Lin Ran steadily. Hearing this, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. She looked unclear and said, "I'm sorry for meddling in other people's business!"

"We are friends. You are really doing this for my own good. You don't have to apologize to me for such a small thing."

Although she said this, Cui Qinglan felt that Lin Ran should apologize to her.

"I have to be on duty in the second half of the night. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to my residence to rest." Having worked in this hospital for many years, Lin Ran naturally got a house in the family compound. The area is about 80 square meters and it is a two-bedroom apartment. When she encounters overtime or needs to work night shifts, it is undoubtedly more convenient to live in the house allocated by the hospital.

Cui Qinglan shook her head: "You go, I'm on the first half of the night shift."

Walking out of the office with Lin Ran, watching Lin Ran's figure go away, Cui Qinglan looked confused, put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, and returned to her own office.

After today's incident, Lin Ran and Cui Qinglan's friendship seemed to have not changed on the surface, but in fact, Lin Ran still had some grudges against Cui Qinglan in her heart.

But she didn't know that Cui Qinglan's intention to steal her was increasing day by day.

So, while she was too busy to go home and had no time to get in touch with Minghan, Cui Qinglan went to Minghan's workplace under her banner and put a portion of pork rib soup she cooked by herself in the guard duty room, saying that she was a good friend of Minghan's wife and passed by to help bring some bone soup over to nourish Minghan's body.

Cui Qinglan didn't worry that Minghan would tell Lin Ran about it. She felt that it was just a small matter, and Minghan wouldn't specifically ask Lin Ran if he asked his friends to bring him bone soup to the unit.

As expected, not long after Cui Qinglan put the insulated lunch box in the guard duty room of Minghan's unit, Minghan received a call from the guard and came to pick up the insulated lunch box. He immediately called Lin Ran's cell phone.

"Wife, thank you!"

"What?"

"Thank you for the bone soup. By the way, when will you go home?"

"Bone soup? I've been very busy recently. I haven't even gone home. I live in the hospital. How can I have time to buy ribs to make soup for you? Do you want to explain to me what's going on with the bones?"

Lin Ran was full of doubts.

"Didn't you ask your friend to bring it over?"

"No, which friend are you talking about?"

"Cui Qinglan, the comrade on duty at the guard room of our unit told me so."

"Okay, I got it. If you want to drink it, drink it. If you don't want to drink it, take it home. I will go back after get off work today."

Hearing that Lin Ran's tone was not right, Minghan responded directly: "I will take it back." He had already noticed that the origin of this bone soup was strange. Well, Lin Ran made it clear enough, and Minghan didn't need a mouthful of bone soup, so he naturally wouldn't touch something made by other women.

There was still half an hour before the afternoon work.

Lin Ran was waiting at the door of Cui Qinglan's office. The moment he saw Cui Qinglan walking over, obviously in a good mood, Lin Ran's face immediately darkened.

"Wait for me here?"

Cui Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "Is something wrong?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Ran walked in after the other person took out the key and opened the office door. When Cui Qinglan closed the door, she looked at Cui Qinglan with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to look into the other person's heart and asked, "Why do you do that?"

She didn't want it to be what she thought.

A few years ago, Wang Qiang wanted to poach her. Unexpectedly, her good friend Cui Qinglan... after her marriage was broken by a third party, she actually imitated the third party and tried to destroy her marriage. This is a good thing. What can friends do?

"Lin Ran, I don't understand what you mean. How about you speak more clearly."

Cui Qinglan vaguely had a bad feeling. After all, what she did was disgraceful, but at this time she was holding on to a trace of luck, hoping that it was not what she thought.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran slapped her casually.

"you……"

Covering the beaten face, Cui Qinglan's eyes were filled with annoyance: "What do you mean?"

"It's already this time, and you're still pretending to be confused. Cui Qinglan, having a friend like you makes me feel sick!"

Lin Ran glared at the other party: "I regard you as a friend, but you are targeting my husband. Is it because all the men in this world are dead that you are targeting my husband?"

"You know? Did he tell you?"

Although he already had the answer in his mind, Cui Qinglan still asked Lin Ran without giving up.

"My husband thanks me for the pork rib soup that I asked you to deliver. Cui Qinglan, don't you think your methods and intentions are dirty?"

As Lin Ran said, she suddenly laughed at herself: "I was also stupid. I didn't know that you had been eyeing my husband for a long time, right? In fact, you had been eyeing my husband for a long time, and that's why you didn't like Director Zhang, and you almost even had sex with me. I turned my back and thought I was being nosy.”

"..."

The corners of her mouth twitched, Cui Qinglan wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know how to speak.

Just because she feels guilty!

"Have you nothing to say, or are you too embarrassed to say it?"

Lin Ran asked: "You gave me an idea earlier, asking me to make trouble with my husband when I have nothing to do, so as to arouse my husband's ideas and ask me to ignore my children, so as to scare them, so that they take the initiative to ask for help." When I got close, you were already eyeing my husband, right?"

After pursing her lips and being silent for a while, Cui Qinglan bravely tried to clear herself up: "You misunderstood me. How could I have such thoughts? We are the best friends, not to mention that as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests..."

Lin Ran interrupted the other party: "Okay, I won't believe a word you say!" There was disappointment and anger in her eyes, and she said word by word: "I didn't expect you to be that kind of person... Obviously you are My marriage was broken up because of a third party. How come I want to be a third party and intend to destroy my marriage?

But it's a pity that my husband is different from your ex-husband. He is dedicated to relationships, has a sense of responsibility for his family, and is smart enough. Otherwise, I would not have been firmly seated as the second daughter-in-law of the Luo family for many years! "

Cui Qinglan knew that from this moment on, her friendship with Lin Ran was over. Based on this, she stopped pretending and said coldly: "If you have finished speaking, please leave."

Lin Ran's face was extremely ugly: "Just let me go like this, do you think you did nothing wrong?"

"I never regret anything I've done."

The implication is that if you do it, you do it. It is impossible for her to apologize.

"Okay, I was blind and mistook the jackal for my friend. From now on, you and I are no longer friends!"

After finishing his words, Lin Ran left with a cold face.

The office door opened and closed, and Cui Qinglan sat on the office chair with an expressionless expression.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Minghan was a ruthless man who wanted to tell his wife everything. As a result, she not only received a slap in the face from Lin Ran, but was also pointed at the nose and humiliated.

Then catch the bugs. . .
