Tang Ruanruan frowned. She keenly sensed something was amiss; her mother's tone had clearly been guilty when she spoke just now.
This made her wonder if her mother had found her a stepfather.
The idea wouldn't leave her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
Her mother was in her prime, and as a woman herself, she knew her mother's difficulties. She had never seen her mother contact that man since she could remember, otherwise, she wouldn't have developed some estrangement from her because of that scumbag.
Strangely, she did not feel any displeasure as a result. Instead, she felt a sense of relief and liberation, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her shoulders.
Why do I keep thinking about that jerk lately?
Tang Ruanruan suddenly came to her senses. She gently shook her head, trying to shake off the thoughts in her mind, but those memories kept surging into her heart like a tide.
Lately, Tang Ruanruan has been feeling that something is wrong with her. She finds herself frequently thinking about a certain person for no apparent reason.
Those memories always made her want to fight certain people to the death. Sometimes, when she thought of that bastard calling her mother's name at certain times, she would even sit up in anger.
After slapping herself hard several times, she lay back down on the bed, fantasizing about meeting the person who had hurt her again.
In her fantasy, that person would appear and they would meet by chance. When their eyes met, he would look at her in surprise, his eyes filled with deep regret and self-reproach.
She hoped to see a look of pain on his face, realizing how outrageous his mistake was, and then he would kneel down without hesitation, begging for her forgiveness with tears streaming down his face.
She recounted his longing and regret for her over the years, and then pursued her again, just like before, letting him know what it felt like to be chased after a wife in a crematorium!
"Soft and soft..."
"Ruan Ruan...?"
Tang Qiuyue called softly several times on the phone, and seeing that Tang Ruanruan remained silent, she raised her voice slightly.
"ah?"
"Ruanruan, why aren't you saying anything?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some happy things."
After a pause, Tang Qiuyue said, "I understand. I'll take care of some company matters first, and we'll talk when I get home."
Tang Qiuyue hung up the phone, her heart filled with reluctance. She slowly turned her head and gazed at the ward once more. For some reason, ever since receiving her daughter's call, she had been unable to calm down, as if a nameless panic lingered in her heart.
She gently shook her head, trying to shake off the unsettling feeling, and then strode confidently out of the hospital, hailing a taxi on the street and heading towards her company.
...
at the same time.
Inside the ward, Liu Shiyao was sobbing and recounting her experiences over the past few years with guilt. She blamed herself for all the trouble Su Che had caused her. No matter how Su Che explained, she still complained about herself and felt she had to repay him by being his servant.
"Sigh~"
Su Che shook his head and sighed, "Women are indeed women; once they're over thirty, they become so hard to please."
Su Che still missed the days before he turned thirty. Back then, all the girls were in their twenties, easy to coax, and they would do whatever he asked, letting him do whatever he wanted...
Unlike nowadays, many women who are already considered "leftover women" still cry so easily.
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Several large tears dripped down Liu Shiyao's cheeks, clearly audible in the quiet room.
Looking at Su Che's tanned skin and pale face, it felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart.
"Brother Che..."
"You've gotten darker..."
"Dark color makes you look healthy."
Liu Shiyao kept asking Su Che a question, and he answered them half-heartedly, completely ignoring Wen Shuran's sullen face beside her. Especially when she heard that Su Che's company had gone bankrupt and that he had taken on debts and started working for her, she was so jealous she was going crazy.
She even considered hiding Su Che away, somewhere that none of them could find him. After this idea came to mind, her eyes lit up, and she felt that this method was better and better.
Since Su Che had an appendectomy and a circumcision, he didn't need to be hospitalized. Moreover, after disinfecting Su Che's wound multiple times, there was no inflammation. She could bring Su Che to her home and take care of him herself. Wouldn't that be better?
...
"Yaoyao, don't cry. Didn't you bring food over?"
"If you keep crying, I'm going to starve to death..." Su Che said helplessly, looking at Liu Shiyao who couldn't be coaxed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyao immediately stopped crying and hurriedly handed over the food, feeding Su Che bite by bite. However, just as the food was about to reach his mouth, Su Che glanced guiltily at Wen Shuran. Seeing that she was deep in thought and not knowing what she was thinking, Su Che didn't care, as long as she didn't cause any trouble.
"Cough cough..."
Su Che, who was wolfing down his food, suddenly choked. Upon seeing this, Liu Shiyao immediately stood up, patted Su Che's back, and then took out her small hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.
Su Che, who was almost coughing up his lungs, suddenly smelled an indescribable fragrance that wafted into his nose.
"Brother Che, you... you're still so impatient."
The two stood very close, their eyes meeting. Liu Shiyao's eyes were red, making her look exceptionally beautiful, whether from crying or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
Wen Shuran also noticed the ambiguous situation between the two and immediately spoke up to stop them, "Dalang, what are you doing? Trying to disinfect yourself?"
Su Che immediately averted his gaze from Liu Shiyao's seemingly carefree demeanor.
Meanwhile, Wen Shuran, with her sharp eyes, looked at Liu Shiyao and cursed inwardly, "These women are all looks and no brains. I really don't understand what these women like about him. Is it his strength?"
At that moment, Liu Shiyao finally slowly shifted her gaze to Wen Shuran.
As far as Wen Shuran was concerned, Liu Shiyao did not harbor much hostility in her heart, because in her view, as long as she treated Su Che sincerely, she would not be hostile to that woman.
Moreover, with her keen insight, Liu Shiyao easily noticed that although the woman named Wen Shuran seemed indifferent to Su Che on the surface, the deep affection hidden in her eyes was hard to conceal.
Liu Shiyao's love was obsessive and passionate. She didn't even care whether Su Che had other female confidantes by his side. She only asked to occupy even an insignificant corner in his heart, and she would be willing and without complaint.
