Chapter 137: Fighting?
"Ah? So fast? I'm going to be one year older again?" Xiao Nanxing regained her composure in an instant and curled her lips. She had indeed forgotten. When she counted the days, it seemed to be three days later.
Pei Zhengping chuckled, "Why one year older? Doctor Xiao will remain forever young."
Xiao Nanxing lowered his head and took off his apron and gloves without saying a word.
Pei Zhengping asked gently, "How do you want to spend the day? How about we go somewhere nearby and spend the day just the two of us?"
Xiao Nanxing wiped his hands, turned off the lights, and walked out of the study with his phone, showing little interest:
"You're busy, aren't you? I have so much work piled up. There's no need to celebrate my birthday specially. We can just have a meal at home and invite Xiaoxiao, Li Sheng and the others over."
Pei Zhengping noticed something. She didn't seem to want to celebrate her birthday.
He thought for a moment and said, "But I want to give Ms. Xiao Nanxing a special birthday."
Xiao Nanxing smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, there's really no need to bother."
Pei Zhengping put down his cup and reluctantly changed the subject. "Nie Dong just called. He and Ouyang Zhen tracked down Ji Huirou and found Xu Qi. He said he'll be back soon."
"Are they okay?"
"Don't worry, Nie Dong has brought a lot of people with him. He knows how to protect himself best."
The two chatted casually, and Xiao Nanxing told him what he and Li Rong had discussed. Pei Zhengping agreed deeply and expressed his willingness to help.
They talked for two hours and then said good night to each other.
After the video ended, Xiao Nanxing sat there in a daze for a while, then got up to wash up.
Here, Pei Zhengping looked at the photo of his girlfriend on his phone and called Li Sheng, "I want to ask Ms. Li Xiaoxiao something."
Li Sheng was about to go to sleep while holding Li Xiaoxiao. She was pregnant, and there was nothing they could do but go to bed early and get up early. He was surprised to see Pei Zhengping's call.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up from her daze, coughed, and turned on the hands-free mode. "Secretary Pei, what did you want to ask?"
Pei Zhengping: "Excuse me, Ms. Li. Nanxing's birthday is coming soon, but she doesn't seem to want to celebrate it."
After thinking about it, he realized that only her close friends knew about this kind of thing. If he asked her in person, he was afraid that it would bring up her sad memories.
Li Xiaoxiao's sleepiness faded away. She organized her words and spoke slowly in a heavy voice, "Nanxing really doesn't like celebrating birthdays. It started when she was ten years old."
"That day, her father coaxed her out of the amusement park under the pretext of taking her to celebrate her birthday. He wanted to sell her. Her mother was seriously injured and hospitalized in an attempt to get her back."
"When she was eleven, her mother came to celebrate her birthday, but the Zhong family's mother-in-law came and made a scene. It was really ugly."
"When she was twelve, her grandfather took her out to celebrate her birthday. Her second aunt scolded Grandpa Xiao for being partial, knocked over the cake, and Grandpa Xiao fainted from anger."
Li Xiaoxiao's voice trembled. "When she was thirteen, Lin Yang and I secretly treated her to milk tea. She treated us back, but her second aunt accused her of stealing money, and we had another fight. ...That was her own pocket money she had saved."
"At fourteen, she no longer dared to celebrate her birthday."
"When she was eighteen, her father came back after two years of hiding. He bought her a birthday cake, but he tricked her into selling her to a loan shark."
"She was twenty years old, and her birthday was coming up soon. She was accused of plagiarism and was seriously injured and fell into a coma on her birthday."
"Nanxing once cried and told me that her birthday was unlucky and she would never celebrate it again. She would just pretend that it never happened."
After Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Pei Zhengping was silent for a long time. After half a minute, he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoxiao buried her face in Li Sheng's arms, "I suddenly feel so happy."
She doesn't have to suffer any hardships, she has parents and relatives who love her, and now she has met her lover. It seems that she has only suffered the hardships of work and study in her life.
Li Sheng hummed and hugged her tightly, "We will always be happy."
Xiao Nanxing got up in the morning to run and practice boxing, wearing headphones. Over there was Pei Zhengping, who was also jogging. The two of them ran together online and occasionally chatted.
She thought he would continue to talk about his birthday, but he didn't mention it again.
She didn't know whether she wanted him to continue mentioning it or not. Anyway, she felt a little complicated.
Four operations were scheduled for this morning. I didn't have time to rest at noon. I went to give a health care patient a physical examination. I worked in the outpatient clinic in the afternoon. After get off work, I didn't go to Baicaotang, but went to Tang's house.
Mr. Tang and Tang Fei received her.
After taking their pulses, Tang Fei touched her head and said, "We were really scared. They kept it a secret from me and my father, and only told us after you were discharged from the hospital. My father was really angry."
She was about to give birth, and no one dared to frighten her, so she only found out about their poisoning last.
Tang Weiguo glared, "I'm not a fragile old man, yet you're hiding it from me. Next time that brat comes to my house, I'll beat him to death."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Seeing that Xiao Nanxing had lost so much weight, he knew that his eldest grandson must be in a worse condition. No wonder he didn't dare to come to his house or answer his video.
Xiao Nanxing: "Yes, wait until he comes back and beat him up!"
Tang Weiguo: "Why don't you beg for mercy?" He even added fuel to the fire.
Xiao Nanxing suppressed a smile, "It's only natural for elders to educate their juniors. I stand on your side."
Tang Weiguo: “….”
Tang Fei chuckled. She realized that her father was actually a little afraid of Nan Xing. Could it be because her needles were too powerful?
We stayed at Tang's house for dinner. With Tang Tiantian, the happy girl who came back from get out of class, the atmosphere was very lively, especially when she announced that she had found a boyfriend.
Mrs. Tang, also known as Mrs. Tang II, picked up a feather duster and chased her for five minutes. The mother and daughter stood facing each other in the ancient garden, and the scene was very funny.
Uncle Tang pretended not to see it and immediately turned around to go to the study. It was obvious that he was already familiar with the situation.
Tang Fei pulled Xiao Nanxing and ran away, "To avoid being harmed."
When I turned around, the living room was empty, with only Tang Tiantian's cry for help coming from afar.
Tang Fei sent her out, "Tiantian is too naughty. She has changed three boyfriends, and none of them were serious. That's why my second sister-in-law is so angry."
Xiao Nanxing understood that when Li Xiaoxiao happened, she was also anxious and her blood pressure rose.
When she came back from the Tang family and went to Xi'anyuan to treat Feng Xiaomei, she keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood.
Xiao Nanxing frowned, closed the bedroom door and came out to ask Quan's mother.
Quan's mother said, "My wife received a phone call today. I don't know who it was, but she looked really bad after she answered."
Xiao Nanxing stood for a while, then sent a WeChat message to Zhong Kai, asking him to hint at the issue.
She doesn't want to be too strict with him, it's just that her illness is not suitable for emotional excitement. She has finally gotten better, and she can't let it go to waste.
At ten o'clock in the evening, just after finishing her video call with Pei Zhengping, she received a reply from Zhong Kai:
"It's a relative of the Zhong family. Don't worry, I've taken my mother's phone. I'll handle this matter. It's no big deal."
Xiao Nanxing felt relieved.
Feng Xiaomei's cell phone number has not been changed for many years. It is normal for the Zhong family to contact her, and she has no way of interfering.
Before falling asleep, she inevitably thought of the birthday Pei Zhengping mentioned.
"Ah! I'm so annoyed!" Go to sleep, go to sleep.
Three days passed quickly. It was still early when Pei Zhengping came back. When he got home, Xiao Nanxing had not returned yet. He called her but she didn't answer.
Pei Zhengping was puzzled. She should be off work by now, right?
He tried to contact Li Rong, but the call was connected after seven or eight rings, and he heard chaotic shouting and cursing on the other end.
Li Rong said helplessly, "Doctor Xiao is fighting with someone."
