33 -32: Is There Something You Can’t Say to Me Directly?

Upon receiving this phone call, Tang Xi’s mind exploded with a buzz.

–

Second District Police Station.

Tang Xi hurried over and saw Tang Shiyue.

Looking into her eyes, Tang Shiyue lowered his head, his eyes reddening, “Sis…

I’m sorry, it doesn’t matter that he insulted me, but he cursed my mom saying she was going to die…

I know I did wrong…

but he provoked me first.”

Tang Xi opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word as she looked at the seventeen-year-old boy in front of her.

He had less than a week until the college entrance examination…

And now, everything had come to an abrupt halt.

But Tang Xi couldn’t utter a word of reproach; instead, tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.

“Sis, don’t settle, the Fu Chenglin family is rich and powerful, don’t waste any money on me, save it for mom’s illness…”

Soon, a policewoman came over to take her for questioning.

Afterward, everything was a blur, her mind in chaos.

Friends and parents involved in the brawl with Tang Shiyue crowded the police station.

Tang Shiyue had injured a classmate named Fu Chenglin, and then a fight broke out between two groups.

Fu Chenglin was still lying in the hospital, reportedly with a head injury.

She numbly grasped the policewoman’s hand, repeatedly asking, “Can he still take the college entrance exam?

My brother is about to…”

The policewoman slowly shook her head.

Tang Xi hurried to the hospital.

Fu Chenglin’s mother was at the entrance of the ward, and upon seeing Tang Xi, she started hurling insults, “Like brother like sister, dreaming of a settlement!

I’m going to make sure that little beast rots in jail!

He dared to injure my son, he’ll spend his life behind bars!”

Confronted with the humiliation, her straight spine slowly bent as she clenched her fingers, “Madam Fu, please I beg of you, don’t sue my brother!

He’s about to take the college entrance exam, it was his fault, and I apologize on his behalf.”

The lady sneered.

“My son can’t take the exam either, he suffered a head injury, what if there are long term consequences, can you compensate for that?”

Tang Xi stood there pale-faced, stunned.

“Madam Fu, I beg you, I’ll cover all of Young Master Fu’s medical expenses…

If there’s anything else you require as compensation, I’ll do my best to fulfill it.”

“My family is not short of that money, I want to ensure that Tang Shiyue, that little beast, spends his life in prison!”

It was already evening, the night breeze blowing her hair, as the woman walked aimlessly down the street alone.

Slowly, she squatted down and hugged herself.

A dazzling car light came on, followed by a sharp buzz as a black sedan grazed past her, accompanied by the driver’s curse, “Damn, suicidal much!

Get out of the way!”

Tang Xi didn’t know how long she had been walking on the road; although it was a May night, she felt bone-chillingly cold.

Another text message arrived on her phone.

It was from Qin Jianlan, asking if she had dinner yet?

Asking if she wanted to come over for some late-night food…

Tang Xi was in no mood for it, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse Aunt Qin.

–

Eight o’clock in the evening.

The city hospital’s deluxe ward.

Tang Xi held a bowl of wontons, and Aunt Rong smilingly handed her a cup of water, “I made some extra tonight, the madam thought you were working the night shift, so she asked you to come over and try some.”

Looking at Qin Jianlan’s kind and gentle smile, Tang Xi finally felt a bit warmer, “Mom…

how have you been feeling lately, is there any discomfort?”

“I’m fine, just a bit dizzy from lying here every day.

Seeing you and Tingzhou makes me feel much better,” Qin Jianlan said hurriedly, urging Tang Xi to eat while the food was hot.

Tang Xi was also a bit hungry.

She hadn’t had a drop of water since getting off work.

Her stomach began to cramp.

So much had happened in just a few hours.

After having a few bites of wonton soup and feeling the warmth here, Tang Xi thought of her brother at the police station, and of Tang Jingyun waiting for life-saving treatment in the ICU.

She bit her lower lip, seemingly at her wit’s end.

She remembered Fu Tingzhou’s instructions not to disturb Qin Jianlan’s recovery.

Still, she took a deep breath and said.

“Mom…

I have a favor to ask…

I hope you can help me…”

“What is it?” Seeing Tang Xi’s pale face, Qin Jianlan quickly said, “No matter what it is, mom will help you.”

“Mom…

I want to borrow 500,000…

I have a…

a very good friend whose family is in trouble and needs money.

I don’t want to bother Tingzhou…”

“You gave me a scare, I thought it was something serious…” Qin Jianlan smiled gently, “You and Tingzhou are husband and wife, your issues are his issues.

What’s this bother or trouble, as a couple, you should help each other.”

Tang Xi forced a pale smile, remembering this man’s disdain for her, she tried to make her voice sound more cheerful, “Tingzhou has been very busy recently…

As his wife, how can I bother him with every little thing…

but my friend is in a bit of a hurry…”

“Alright, I’ll have Aunt Rong transfer it to you later,” Qin Jianlan patted Tang Xi’s hand.

“Mom…

can you not tell Tingzhou about this…?”

Before she could finish her words, she heard a deep male voice slowly rising.

“What is it that you can’t tell me?”

Tang Xi’s face turned white in an instant.

Her shoulders trembled slightly.

As she slowly turned around, she saw Fu Tingzhou standing at the entrance of the ward, the man strode in with a smile on his face, and walked to the bedside to wrap his arms around Tang Xi’s shoulders, “What are you hiding from me, talking to mom?”

Although he smiled, Tang Xi saw the indifference in his eyes.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law getting along well, Qin Jianlan also smiled, “It’s not a big deal, Ah Zhou, you shouldn’t be working all the time.

Pay more attention to the things around Xixi.” She looked at Tang Xi, “Xixi, just speak directly with Tingzhou, and if this young man dares to brush you off, just come and tell me, I’ll see how I deal with him!”

Tang Xi knew Qin Jianlan meant well for her.

But at this moment, she couldn’t smile, a stiff smile tugged at her lips, her heart was covered with ice, and she kept her gaze down, not daring to look into Fu Tingzhou’s eyes.

After staying in the ward for a while, Qin Jianlan felt a bit tired.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou left the ward.

Her hand was still in the crook of the man’s arm, but the moment they stepped out of the ward, he coldly shrugged off her hand, his eyes not hiding his disgust and anger.

At the end of the corridor, the man’s face was frosted over, as he harshly gripped her chin.

“You haven’t taken my words to heart at all, pretending to be obedient on the surface but going behind my back to ask my mother for money.

Is this how you used to deceive my mother too?

Today a friend is in trouble, tomorrow a relative is in trouble, is there a single truth in your mouth?

My mother treats you well, yet all you think about is how to swindle money from her!”

Tang Xi was struggling to breathe.

“I…

didn’t…

not before…” But one of Fu Tingzhou’s sentences cut her deeply.

Yes, Aunt Qin was so nice.

She had been so good to her since she was little.

And now, as she is seriously ill, she is still troubling her, asking to borrow money from her…

It was utterly ridiculous!!
