Chapter 166 Encounter

“Everyone is afraid of death. If you’ve tried to die once and failed, you’ll cherish your life even more. I reckon it won’t be long before he betrays me.” Tang Ya looked at the old man on the hospital bed. “Dad, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to go to jail. Please help me again, okay? Like the first time, please help me.”

Grandpa Tang closed his eyes and sighed, "I'm too old to help you anymore."

The reason he was lucky back then was because he discovered it early and acted quickly; his luck far outweighed his ability. This time, however, he won't be so lucky.

Tang Ya smiled and said, "You can do it. Have you forgotten? My sister's youngest son, Jingqiu, works at the hospital. Our people can't get close to that driver, but he can."

Grandpa Tang neither said yes nor no, he simply asked, "Now that we're out of trouble, what's next?"

Tang Ya looked directly into her father's eyes and said softly, "You know the answer in your heart, so why ask?"

Naturally, he wanted that bitch's daughter dead.

It would be best to die a horrible death like that bitch.

Old Master Tang's eyes were filled with deep disappointment. "I told you long ago, if it's not yours, there's no point in forcing it. Why are you so stubborn?"

“Of course it’s because I’m not reconciled.” Tang Ya smiled, but her eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred. “I’ve loved him for so many years, but he fell in love with a woman he’d only known for less than two months. I lost the ability to be a mother because of him, but he can have his own child. And it was that bitch Lu Yunsi who gave birth to his child.”

Grandpa Tang shook his head. "Stop."

Tang Ya looked at Grandpa Tang for a long time, then sighed regretfully, "I understand."

Since you're unwilling to help me, I'll have to help myself.

Tang Ya leaned over and pulled the blanket up for Old Master Tang, the madness in her eyes disappearing. She whispered, "If things are exposed, I will take full responsibility and won't involve you or the Tang family. I just can't see you off. If there is a next life, I still want to be your daughter and obediently listen to you."

In a room on the second floor, Tang Xingchen sat in front of a computer with headphones in his ears.

The listening device he had placed under Old Master Tang's hospital bed transmitted the received sound clearly.

Tang Xingchen only took off his headphones and paused the recording software after the sound in his headphones had completely disappeared.

-

Mrs. Tang was sitting in the living room drinking tea, checking if there were any problems with her son and Gu Weiwei's engagement ceremony when she suddenly saw her daughter return and frowned.

"stop!"

Tang Mingyue stopped in her tracks. "What are you doing?"

Madam Tang stood up and looked her daughter up and down. "Why are you back?"

Tang Mingyue sneered, "What, Mom, you don't want to see me come back?"

Madam Tang frowned.

Tang Mingyue continued, "You must really want me to die in prison. Unfortunately, that won't happen. I'm back."

Mrs. Tang's expression turned slightly annoyed. "I am your mother!"

"So you still remember I'm your daughter." Tang Mingyue laughed. "I thought you told my second brother to leave me alone and fend for myself because you didn't want to acknowledge me as your daughter anymore."

Madam Tang said with a stern face, "Don't drag your second brother down with you after you've done such a thing."

"Yes, don't drag you into this mess." Tang Mingyue glanced at the notebooks on the table, thinking about how she had been locked up in the police station for so many days, and how her mother not only didn't worry about her but was also concerned about her brother's marriage. She felt a surge of anger, and her smile grew even colder. "Since you don't want to care about me, then just leave me alone. Hurry up and get my second brother to hold his engagement banquet. Otherwise, if Grandpa passes away first, the date of my second brother's engagement banquet will have to be postponed."

Madam Tang retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Alright, I won't say anything more." Tang Mingyue turned and walked upstairs. "You don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you either. I came back to get some things, and I promise I won't appear in front of you again."

She's figured it out these past few days. Huo Huai'an wouldn't come asking about his aunt for no reason. His aunt must have done something wrong, and it might even implicate the entire Tang family.

Anyway, she has no one to care for or love her in the Tang family, so it's best for her to leave first.

-

Gu Suixing was getting a check-up at the hospital, and Rui Rui followed him around like a little tail.

Huo Huai'an looked at Rui Rui, who was following him around like a little tail, and clicked his tongue, "You've recognized her?"

Lu Fengqing hummed in agreement.

Huo Huai'an then asked, "When are you going to take Rui Rui to meet my aunt?"

His aunt first learned that Rui Rui had come to the hospital, and then she learned that her son had taken his grandson back to the Lu residence with Lu Fengqing. She immediately guessed that the two of them wanted to reunite with their child. She even called him last night. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she seemed to really want to see her grandson.

Lu Fengqing: "It depends on his arrangements."

Huo Huai'an looked Lu Fengqing up and down.

Lu Fengqing: "What?"

Huo Huai'an chuckled and teased, "You still need to listen to him?"

Isn't it always been his cousin who listens to the young lady? He's definitely henpecked.

Lu Fengqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Do you think I can force him to take his son back to meet his parents?"

Even if he was willing, she didn't really want to go right now.

Because of Gu Zhenjun's situation, she still doesn't know how to face Huo Yao.

Although Mrs. Huo didn't show anything on the surface or do anything to her, she didn't know if Mrs. Huo harbored any resentment towards her or if Mrs. Huo was still willing to accept her. She couldn't be so self-aware as to deliberately appear in front of Mrs. Huo and hurt her.

Huo Huai'an was about to say something more when he saw Gu Suixing come out of the consultation room, so he had no choice but to give up.

Lu Fengqing went up to her and asked, "Are you done?"

"Okay." Gu Suixing patted Rui Rui's head. "Let's go to the inpatient department."

Gu Suixing stopped using his electric wheelchair and had Huo Huai'an push it slowly towards the inpatient department, with Lu Fengqing leading Rui Rui along the side.

Huo Huai'an glanced at Gu Suixing's leg. "What did the doctor say?"

Gu Suixing replied lazily, "The situation has been restored well."

Huo Huai'an felt relieved. "Remember to call your aunt later; she's worried about you."

Gu Suixing did not respond.

Even if Huo Huai'an didn't remind him, he would still call his mother after he got back.

As for taking Lu Fengqing and Rui Rui to see her, let's leave that for now.

Huo Huai'an understood Gu Suixing's personality, so he simply gave up chatting with this little devil and instead teased another little devil, "You're so clingy to your dad, do you like him?"

Rui Rui smiled and said, "I like it."

Gu Suixing narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Huo Huai'an then asked, "Do you like Dad more or Mom more?"

Rui Rui: "All."

Huo Huai'an: "You can only choose one."

It's so hard to choose! Rui Rui can't decide, and her little brows furrowed in frustration.

Lu Fengqing glanced at Huo Huai'an speechlessly and said to Rui Rui, "Don't listen to this naughty boy. Mom and Dad can like him just the same."

Bad Bubu: "..."

Gu Suixing asked her son, "Did he give you a red envelope when you met?"

Rui Rui shook her head.

Gu Suixing: "What kind of relatives are we if we don't give red envelopes? What kind of names are we?"

Huo Huai'an: "..."

Rui Rui glanced at Huo Huai'an with her little eyes.

"Here you go." Huo Huai'an was speechless, thinking to himself that he was prepared. He took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his pocket and put it into Rui Rui's hand.

Rui Rui clutched the large red envelope, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you, Bu Bu."

Just as the group arrived at the ward door, a familiar voice rang out.

"Follow the stars."

Two figures walked over from the other end of the corridor.

Gu Suixing was stunned for a moment, "Third Uncle, Aunt Wan."

Lu Fengqing turned her head and looked towards the other end of the corridor.

Huo Huai'an was about to greet the two when he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed "Holy crap!" in his mind.
