Chapter 99 He Doesn't Regret
After rushing out of the hospital, Tang Weisheng first ran wildly, and then walked when he was tired. His brain, which had always been well-functioning, went on strike at this moment, and was filled with another kind of negative emotion. Tang Weisheng was used to considering the worst outcome, wondering if Tang Wansu would come next time if it failed this time.
But no one can stand it.
The sky was filled with wind and snow, and a cloud of white fell on Tang Weisheng's shoulders. The white mist he exhaled quickly dissipated, and his eyebrows and eyes were always hidden in the darkness where no light could reach.
Tang Weisheng suddenly thought of what Xuanzhe had said. Tang Wansu's current ignorance and insolence were closely related to their indulgence. He always felt that a woman from a wealthy family in a deep and deep courtyard only wanted some material things, which was enough. But now it seems that this is obviously not possible.
Tang Weisheng thought again, Tang Wansu clearly knew about his relationship with Tan Li, and clearly knew that he liked Tan Li, but when she did this, did she consider his position or did she hope that they would break up immediately? The more unhappy he was, the happier she would be.
Thinking of this, Tang Weisheng felt that a lump in his heart was smoothed out. Yes, it had been like this since he was a child. Tang Wansu had almost put all her resentment, humiliation, and anger on him. As Xuanzhong's flesh and blood, she could not inherit the surname. She hoped to gain status through her son, but could only squeeze into a small rental house day after day. Tang Wansu had no one to hate, and could only hate her own son.
Tang Weisheng's hands and feet were frozen. After a while, he looked up and saw that the lights on the second floor of the Xuan family's old house were on.
The servant of "Master Weisheng" was a little surprised. Seeing that he was soaked all over, he hurriedly brought a blanket over, but was pushed away by the man.
"Where is my mother?" Tang Weisheng asked.
The servant murmured, "Upstairs."
Tang Weisheng nodded and strode up the stairs. The servants looked at his back and always felt that something was wrong with Master Weisheng today.
Tang Weisheng knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for Tang Wansu to speak. Tang Wansu had been suffering from severe morning sickness in recent days, and Xuan Zhong was old and had a light sleep and no intention to take care of others. It was not suitable for the two of them to stay together, so they had already slept in separate rooms.
Tang Wansu had a small speaker at hand, which was playing some soothing sleep-inducing music. She was holding a book on teaching pregnant mothers, which looked like prenatal education.
"Why are you back?" Tang Wansu took off her glasses and frowned as she looked at Tang Weisheng, who looked like a ball of ink.
Tang Weisheng got straight to the point: "That incident with Li's mother, you were the one who did it, right?"
Tang Wansu's expression froze for a moment, then she straightened her back. "I don't know what you're talking about, Tan Li's mother. Tang Weisheng, what happens to Tan Li's mother is none of my business. I've been very tolerant of you dating a man, and now you come to question me in the middle of the night about this mother and son. How dare you!"
"I knew you wouldn't admit it." Tang Weisheng pulled up a chair and sat down, confronting Tang Wansu. "But Mom, you've never done anything like this, so your cover-up can't be perfect. The person who attacked Auntie has been apprehended. It's true that he didn't contact you directly, but you've made several recent payments. A quick investigation will reveal the middleman. Any clue is evidence. Your methods are too crude." Tang Weisheng lit a cigarette and took a puff. His fingertips trembled slightly, and his eyes were hazy as he stared at Tang Wansu. "Tan Li has found out. If he uses this to sue you, even if you're pregnant, even if you're the Xuan family's wife, you'll have to pay the price."
Upon hearing about being sent to prison, Tang Wansu panicked. She thought she had accomplished something perfectly, but she hadn't expected it to be exposed that very day. Unconsciously, she clutched the quilt tightly, her expression suddenly turning grim. After a long silence, she said in a deep voice, "Did Tan Li ever respect me when we were dating? He targeted your uncle's business, causing several arguments between us. I heard he's close to Wen Shuang and Xuan Zhe. Son, Xuan Zhe sent him to take revenge on us! Mom was so angry, I just wanted to teach him a lesson!"
"Then you know that Auntie is in poor health, and that the desperado you found almost took her life!" Tang Weisheng suddenly said sternly: "If someone dies today, you will be a murderer, do you know that?"
Tang Wansu shuddered at these three words, and her forced calmness vanished into thin air. She said in panic, "Impossible, I said, I just wanted them to torment Tan Li's mother a little, I didn't..." Tang Wansu's subsequent words were drowned out by Tang Weisheng's disappointed look. From her angle, she could vaguely see a hint of water in the young man's eyes, as if she could no longer contain her willfulness and had completely given up.
But why? Tang Wansu's rebellious mentality came up and she was very dissatisfied. After all, Tang Weisheng was her son.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Wansu said in a cold voice, "Why are you so distressed about Tan's mother being injured? I'm pregnant and feeling so uncomfortable every day, but you don't even call me to ask about it. Okay, I know what you mean. At worst, I can take some things to see her tomorrow. Is that okay?"
With a feeling of weightlessness, Tang Weisheng's heart and lungs hit the bottom of the valley and were shattered into pieces.
This is his mother, willful and indulgent, as if the whole world has to make way for her.
Seeing Tang Weisheng remained silent, Tang Wansu got angry. She sat up abruptly, lifted the quilt and pointed at her belly: "Why, does Tan Li really need me to go in before he's willing to let me have the baby? I'm your mother. Since Tan Li likes you so much, why don't you just tell him..."
"Enough!!!" Tang Weisheng interrupted harshly.
It was the first time he used such an angry and desperate tone, which frightened Tang Wansu so much that she shuddered and really shut up.
Tang Weisheng staggered to his feet, his head slightly lowered. Darkness spread out from behind him, like a pair of black wings, not much different from a life-demanding Asura. Tang Wansu was terrified and rubbed against the headboard, her voice a little sharp: "Tang Weisheng, what do you want to do!"
"From the moment I came in until now, you've only thought about yourself." Tang Weisheng walked to the bedside, staring at Tang Wansu, and said word by word: "You want me to go and plead with Tan Li, do you think I have the nerve to do that? My mother hurt his only relative in the world. Do you know what I thought when I first heard the news today? I wish I could die to apologize to Tan Li."
"Mom." Tang Weisheng supported himself on the bed with one hand, his eyes level with Tang Wansu's: "You almost brought me to ruin, you know?"
Tang Weisheng was waiting, waiting for Tang Wansu to be less hopeless and to consider some possibilities for him, but Tang Wansu kept her face stern and stubborn, and just sneered sarcastically.
The last light in Tang Weisheng's eyes was extinguished.
"I am in your heart..." Tang Weisheng whispered: "What does it mean?"
"You're my son." Tang Wansu grasped at Tang Weisheng's weakness. Her seemingly calm eyes shone with paranoia and malice in the warm orange light. "I carried you for ten months and risked my life to give birth to you! Weisheng, Mom didn't want to force you. Why don't you just listen to me? Mom won't hurt you. Why bother?"
Tang Weisheng stared at her: "So as long as I don't obey, you can hurt others at will, right?"
Tang Wansu started to speak, a silent answer. It was always like this before. As long as she was firm, Tang Weisheng would give in no matter how impatient he was. He wouldn't really let his own mother go to jail while pregnant.
"I'm a human being." Tang Weisheng straightened up, his eyes slightly red. "I have flesh and blood, thoughts and a soul. I'm not your appendage, nor am I a puppet you can manipulate tightly in your palm! I've been by your side, and I haven't been happy at all in the Xuan family these years! I finally met someone I like, and I want to be with him safely and smoothly. What's wrong with that?"
He roared, "I'm not wrong!"
Tang Weisheng staggered and turned around. Tang Wansu heard something from his tone and said sternly, "If you don't want to care about me, wait until your mother goes in so that you can be with Tan Li without any burden. Tang Weisheng, you're dreaming! I gave you your blood, your flesh, and even your life! You'll never be able to repay me in this lifetime!"
In the past, this was Tang Wansu's weapon to control Tang Weisheng, but now it has become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Tang Weisheng closed his eyes tightly. Yes, he hadn't paid it back yet, but he didn't want to be Tang Wansu's pawn anymore. He didn't want to bring even a little harm to Tan Lixuanzhe and the others.
When people are in desperate situations, they always have many strange ideas. For example, at this moment, Tang Weisheng suddenly realized that the crux of all the problems lies with himself. What if Tang Wansu has no one to use? What if he is gone...
Tang Guanming is no match for Xuan Zhe, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Tan Li. By the time the child in Tang Wansu's belly grows up, Tan Li will have already married and had children. Even if her partner is a man, she should be able to understand him, instead of worrying about her lover and being in a dilemma after her mother is hurt.
Tang Weisheng's originally dull gaze turned to the coffee table, and color appeared in his empty eyes.
It's not that he can't do anything. Instead of letting Tang Wansu pinch him and make Tan Li unable to move, it's better to let everything end at this moment.
This thought gripped his heart like poison. Amidst the hurricane, Tang Weisheng finally felt a long-lost sense of peace. Or perhaps he had been waiting for this day for a long time. If he hadn't met Tan Li...
Tang Weisheng gently closed his eyes, his expression gradually relaxing. The only bitterness came from regret: Patrick would always be with SpongeBob, but SpongeBob could no longer be with Patrick...
"I'll give it back to you." Tang Weisheng whispered.
The blade pierced into his bones. He didn't know how much hatred he had that made the blood gush out so impatiently. One or two drops of warm blood splashed onto his face. Tang Weisheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt relieved. It was over.
Tang Wansu only saw Tang Weisheng pick up something from the coffee table, and then the sound of water dripping onto the floor. She suddenly became uneasy and said in a harsh voice, "What are you doing?"
Tang Weisheng turned around slowly, his right hand holding the small dagger used to peel the apple, his left wrist covered in blood.
"Ah!!!" Tang Wansu screamed.
His arm quickly turned cold, and Tang Weisheng had tinnitus for a few seconds due to blood loss. He looked at Tang Wansu who was stumbling towards him, but he was not moved at all. He just backed away to prevent her from touching him. "Mom, I will let you go in this life, and you should let me go too. In the next life too, remember to find an obedient son." And remember to be a good mother.
After saying that, he still felt unsatisfied, so he took the dagger and pressed it against his neck. It was too slow... Tang Weisheng just felt tired, and he wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible and never wake up again.
"No!!!" Tang Wansu screamed at the top of her lungs.
At the critical moment, the door was kicked open with a "bang". Wen Shuang saw blood all over the floor. Tang Weisheng had his back to him. In a flash, Wen Shuang bumped into him hard. The dagger fell to the ground with a "clang". Tang Weisheng didn't get up. Blood began to flow from his neck, but because the cut was from the side, the aorta was not injured, but there was a bloody hole.
Wen Shuang's breathing paused for a few seconds, then he frowned fiercely. He immediately took off his coat and pulled off the mesh layer inside. He used it as a temporary replacement for the gauze and strangled Tang Weisheng's wrists and wrapped it around his neck. He didn't dare to use force for fear of suffocating him.
Tang Weisheng coughed twice, and blood splattered on the floor. He looked at Wen Shuang's smooth movements and thought to himself, "What a match made in heaven! What are you doing here at this time?"
Tang Weisheng struggled to grab Wen Shuang's arm and shook his head slightly when the other party looked at him.
Wen Shuang almost slapped Tang Weisheng. If he lost his life, he would lose everything! He half-lifted Tang Weisheng and put him on his shoulder, dragging his body and rushing out. Tang Wansu had already fainted, and Wen Shuang had no intention of paying attention to her.
"Don't tell him..." Tang Weisheng's shallow breath hit Wen Shuang's face. His voice was hoarse and he cried for the first time. He begged with every word: "Don't tell him..."
Don't tell Tan Li, everything was his own choice and he has no regrets.
