Even though Tian Wei applied ice to the wound at the hospital, the marks were still visible.
"Let it go, Weiwei. Mom has made it this far." Tian Chan touched Tian Wei's cheek tenderly, her eyes red.
Tian Wei shook her head. "I will continue to find a lawyer. We'll leave tonight. I'm afraid he'll come looking for you and affect your recovery."
Seeing Tian Wei hurriedly packing her things, Tian Chan ultimately couldn't bring herself to offer any words of comfort. Her daughter was working so hard for her; as a mother, how could she keep giving her daughter free rein?
Did you take out that card?
"I took them out." While packing her things, she went back to her room and took out the bank card and passbook that Tian Chan had hidden.
"That's alright. Although it's only a few tens of thousands of yuan, it's enough for us to get by for a while. If we can't walk, so be it. I'll do some handicrafts at home or set up a stall at the market. There are plenty of ways to make a living. Things will definitely get better for us in the future."
Tian Wei paused in packing her things, then turned around and smiled at Tian Chan.
“Yes, things will get better and better. When we get to my place, I’ll show you around. On weekends, we can go shopping. Things will get better and better.” Tian Wei repeated, as if hinting at something to herself to calm her wildly beating heart.
After the mother and daughter finished packing, Tian Wei went to complete the discharge procedures. When she returned, she saw a crowd gathered at the ward entrance, with people arguing and talking noisily inside.
Tian Wei's expression changed, and she rushed forward. Pushing through the crowd, she found Tian Hao, just as she expected.
"Divorce? Let me tell you, dream on! You and your daughter want to abandon me? No way! If you dare to run away, I'll take a knife and hack you and your daughter to death, then I'll kill myself. Even in death, you won't get rid of me!"
Tian Hao held a small knife in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the light.
"Tian Hao, what have I ever done to wrong you! Are you crazy?!" Tian Chan's eyes widened; in her eyes, the man before her was more terrifying than a demon!
"Then come on! Let's see who kills whom!" Tian Wei pushed Tian Hao aside and stood in front of Tian Chan.
"Weiwei, don't be impulsive." Tian Chan was afraid that Tian Wei would anger Tian Hao and accidentally stab him.
"Let me tell you, you can leave, but your mother has to stay! If you dare to sneak away with her, I'll kill you both!"
Tian Hao's words startled Tian Chan, making her heart skip a beat. Years of insults and beatings had unknowingly given her PTSD. She stared at the knife in Tian Hao's hand, her palms sweating and trembling uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the farce didn't last long. Someone called a nurse, who, along with security guards, dragged the man away.
"Tian Chan, you'll never get rid of me! If you dare to divorce me, I'll drag you both down with me!"
As Tian Hao was dragged away, he was still cursing. Tian Wei covered Tian Chan's ears and patted her back repeatedly to comfort her.
"Mom, let's go now. The city is so big, he won't be able to find us. Don't be afraid."
"Weiwei, Mom won't leave, Mom won't leave." Tian Chan trembled, tears streaming down her face. An overwhelming fear swept over her, causing her already taut string to snap.
"Mom, it's okay, you can trust me." Tian Wei's eyes also reddened, unsure how to comfort her mother and put her mind at ease.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
Tian Chan covered her ears and shook her head, lost in her own world.
Finally, it took a tranquilizer to calm Tian Chan down. Tian Wei sat on the edge of the bed, unsure of what to do.
The luggage was placed aside, and the entire ward was quiet except for the beeping of the medical equipment.
"Weiwei, go back now. Mom will be fine. Go back now."
These were Tian Chan's first words upon waking up.
----
Tang Wan silently handed a tissue to Tian Wei.
"Thank you." Tian Wei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sniffed.
"It's fake, I can approve it." Tang Wan looked at Tian Wei with a calm expression, showing no sign of 'pity'.
“Your abilities are good, and training someone new is quite troublesome. The company is currently in a growth phase, so I can only approve another week for you at most. I'll ask you one more time: do you want your parents to divorce and bring your mother to live here with you?”
Tian Wei nodded, "But as long as my dad is here, my mom can't come here with me."
This is why she was distracted. If she couldn't come up with the money, Tian Hao would cause trouble for Tian Chan. So before she came back, she gave Tian Hao 10,000 yuan to keep him quiet for a while, and gave another 5,000 yuan to Aunt Li next door to help take care of her mother.
"I can introduce you to a lawyer. You just need to tell him your demands, and he'll handle the rest. As for your mother, I'll arrange for her to have a hospital check-up..."
"Really?" Tang Wan's words rekindled Tian Wei's hope.
She had no doubt about Tang Wan's abilities. She had been by Tang Wan's side for several months. If she still doubted Tang Wan's abilities by now, then she was the one with the problem!
"Yes, and I'll cover the expenses, plus I can give you a raise."
Tian Wei's eyes lit up.
Tang Wan tapped the table. "On the condition that we sign a ten-year contract."
"A ten-year contract?"
“Yes, if you leave after a year or two, I’ll have to hire someone else. I don’t like troublesome things. If you can continuously improve your skills and meet the KPIs for each period over the next ten years, I can arrange for someone to help you with your family matters and your mother’s health. Of course, if you don’t meet the standards, you’ll be out of a job.”
“Okay! I agree! I’ll sign it, whether it’s ten years or twenty years, I’ll sign it!” Tian Wei stood up. At this moment, this contract was her lifeline.
She knew Tang Wan had connections, so she wouldn't lose out on this contract, especially since it was for her mother's sake!
As it turned out, she made the right decision by signing that contract. The lawyers at Libra Law Firm were very efficient; they collected all the evidence and filed a lawsuit against Tian Hao in just three days. Finally, taking advantage of Tian Hao's verbal threats, they sent him to prison.
On the other hand, Tian Wei brought her mother here, and under Tang Wan's arrangement, she was admitted to the best local hospital and had a full-body check-up. After about a year of recuperation, Chen Xiong was invited to help Tian Chan's mother with acupuncture.
Tang Wan kept her word, and Tian Wei did not disappoint her. In just three years, she managed W·P with great success and secured many large contracts. Before her ten-year contract expired, she was already capable of handling things independently and had even increased her monthly salary to 200,000 yuan through her own abilities.
For Tian Wei, Meng Wan was the light during the darkest period of her life. Without her, she didn't know how much longer she could have endured, or how much longer her mother could have held on.
Hu Lou is indeed very smart; if he approached anyone in the company, he could probably win them over.
Tian Wei is the only one who would never betray Meng Wan.
