Ever since Tonghua became pregnant, Qin Zun has been extremely cautious when dealing with her. Not only did he instruct the servants to forbid her from doing anything, he also had strict requirements on the time for Tonghua's daily walk, for fear that she would take a few more steps and hurt the baby in her belly.
Under these circumstances where her actions were restricted in various ways, Tonghua finally got angry. She felt like a tool with a baby in her belly. No matter what she did, someone would nag in her ear, telling her to pay attention to the baby in her belly and to pay attention to the baby in her belly. They completely ignored her needs as a pregnant woman and as a human being, so she decided to run away from home!
After dinner, Tonghua sent away the servants who followed her with the excuse of taking a nap, and then she sneaked out of Yushan Villa while they were not paying attention.
Just when she was worrying about how to leave here alone, Tong Hua suddenly remembered that there were more than ten cars owned by Qin Zun parked in Yushan's garage. She picked one at random, drove away from there, and came to the sanatorium where her father Tong Chengsheng was.
She remembered that the last time she came, her father's room was 201, so Tonghua went straight there. When she pushed the door and entered the ward, she found that the entire ward was empty. Her father was not in the room. Tonghua felt strange, so she went to the front desk to inquire about the situation.
"Excuse me, where is the patient in Ward 201?"
"Ma'am, according to our registration information, the patient in room 201 was taken away a few days ago."
Tonghua was horrified and asked her quickly, "Taken away? Who took him away?"
"According to the information, the patient was taken away by a lady named Zhang just the day before yesterday."
When Tonghua saw this surname, her first thought was her stepmother Zhang Guiying. Then, she immediately took out her cell phone and called Zhang Guiying.
"fairy tale?"
Tonghua asked straight to the point: "It's me! Did you take my dad away? Where is he now?"
"Don't worry, your father is by my side, fine."
Tonghua's heart was gripped tightly, and she seemed a little anxious: "Why did you take my father away? Don't you know that my father is sick and needs treatment in the hospital?"
"You don't know, I suddenly had a dream a while ago where your father came to me. In the dream, he said that he was alone and didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore. That's why I took him out of the hospital. Don't be ungrateful."
Although Zhang Guiying described the incident with details, Tonghua didn't believe her at all. Zhang Guiying never did anything without benefits. Tonghua absolutely didn't believe that she could have a change of heart and take her father home to take care of him personally just because of a dream.
Tonghua asked her directly: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Guiying said sympathetically: "In order to take care of your father, your brother quit his job. Now we have no income, and now there is a patient next to us..."
Tonghua finally understood her intention. She just wanted to pay for it herself by relying on her father's support.
Tonghua began to negotiate with her: "How about this, you tell me where you are now, I will bring my dad over, and I will give you 100,000 yuan as living expenses, how about that?"
Zhang Guiying said nonchalantly, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! I heard our son-in-law is the CEO of a listed company. He's such a wealthy son-in-law, and he only gave his mother-in-law a mere 100,000 yuan. If this gets out, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him? As his mother-in-law, I should be paying at least 1 or 2 million yuan in filial piety every month!"
This was a naked threat, and she almost said the word "shameless". Tonghua knew that her stepmother was a greedy person, but she didn't expect that she would ask for so much money from her.
Although Tonghua wanted to refuse, she endured it when she thought about her father's illness that could not be delayed.
Tonghua calculated the money she had on her hands. Because of the shares and dividends transferred to her by her grandmother, she now had some money.
"Five hundred thousand a month, whether you want it or not!"
After reaching an agreement, Zhang Guiying told Tonghua her current address, which was in a villa area in Hangcheng. At first, Tonghua wondered how Zhang Guiying could afford to live there, but then she thought that it was probably prepared by Qin Zun for them. Tonghua could imagine that Zhang Guiying must have envied others who lived in big villas, so she asked Qin Zun to arrange accommodation for them.
When Tonghua drove there, Zhang Guiying was very enthusiastic towards her, without any trace of the greedy look she had on the phone just now.
Tonghua didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with her, and as soon as they met, she asked, "Where is my dad?"
"It's in the room on the left on the third floor. Mrs. Wang asked me to play mahjong, so I'll go over there first. Remember to close the door when you leave."
After saying that, Zhang Guiying couldn't wait to slip away, as if someone was chasing her.
Tonghua followed instructions and came to the room on the third floor. When she opened the door and saw her father's condition inside, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. No wonder Zhang Guiying was in a hurry to find an excuse to leave. It turned out that it was because she felt guilty.
Her father's eyes are now dull, his hair is a little messy, and he is still wearing the hospital gown he wore in the nursing home. It is conceivable that Zhang Guiying has not given her father a proper wash in the past few days.
Fortunately, she remembered to visit her father today, otherwise she would not know what kind of life her father was living.
To be on the safe side, Tong Hua sent Tong Zhengyuan back to his original ward and specifically instructed the front desk that no one was allowed to take her father away without her permission.
After waiting for a whole afternoon, the servants didn't hear Tonghua get up. They couldn't bear it any longer and knocked on the door.
"Ma'am, are you awake? Ma'am?"
After knocking on the door several times and no one answered, the servants opened the door without permission. When they opened the door, they naturally found that Tonghua was not in the room, which made them panic.
After the butler mobilized all the servants to look for Tonghua and couldn't find her after searching for more than an hour, Butler Li had no choice but to call Qin Zun and tell him about his wife's sudden disappearance.
"What? Someone is missing? How could there be so many people in the villa and not even be able to keep an eye on one person!"
After learning the news, Qin Zun found that he could not get through to Tonghua on the phone. It was obvious that the other party did not want to see him now.
He first went to Lantian Chenyuan and found that there was no one there. Then he went to Tong's house, but there was still no one there. When he came out of Tong's house, he remembered that he had not yet visited the sanatorium, so he hurried there.
