"Tong girl, what a coincidence, I finally waited for you!"
Looking at the haggard and spiritless old lady in front of him, Tonghua didn't recognize her for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, do you know me?"
The middle-aged woman patted her chest and said excitedly, "It's me, I'm Zhang Xinyue's mother, Aunt Zhang!"
After hearing this, Tonghua carefully identified her identity. Suddenly, a shadow of a person emerged in her mind. From the shadow, she could vaguely see a face similar to the person in front of her. However, when Tonghua saw her before, she was dressed very fashionably. Her clothes and makeup were all exquisite. She was also full of energy. Unlike now, she looked listless and dressed simply, as if she had aged more than ten years.
"It's really Aunt Zhang, please come in and sit down."
As she was about to invite her into the house, Zhang's mother politely declined, and then said: "Actually, I have been looking for you for a long time, but I have no choice but to come to you..."
As she was talking, Zhang's mother took up her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. This action made Tonghua feel excited. She hurriedly said, "Aunt Zhang, are you in trouble and need my help? If I can help, I will definitely help."
Although the marriage between Zhang Xinyue and her younger brother Tong Zhengyuan was not successful, it was all caused by an accident, and the two families did not become enemies because of this. Although after Zhang Xinyue's accident, Zhang's father and mother went to Tong's house and made a big fuss, asking her for an explanation, Tong Hua felt that they were sad because of their daughter's accident, and it was understandable that they wanted to seek justice for their daughter.
Hearing Tonghua's offer to help, Zhang's mother's sobbing subsided a bit: "I came to you this time because my daughter asked me to see you."
"Xinyue wants to see me? Why?"
""
Tonghua admits that she didn't get along very well with Zhang Xinyue, her future sister-in-law. It wasn't because she or Zhang Xinyue had bad personalities, but it was just that the two of them just couldn't get along. At the beginning, Zhang Xinyue insisted on dragging her to the bar to play, but Tonghua didn't like noisy places and didn't want to go. But when she saw Zhang Xinyue alone with a big belly, she was worried that she would be in danger, so she went into the bar to find her, but she left her and left alone early.
When someone you don't get along very well with suddenly wants to see you, this is a natural question in a fairy tale.
"Xinyue said that you are one of the few friends who have been kind to her in the past twenty years. Although our two families have not successfully become one family, she still regards you as a friend."
Tonghua felt uncomfortable listening to these words. When the Zhang family and her brother were discussing marriage, although Tonghua was also a member of the Tong family, she had already moved out because of the fake marriage. Although she returned home and lived for a while due to some things later, she did not spend much time with Zhang Xinyue. She did not expect that Zhang Xinyue would actually treat her as a friend, which made Tonghua feel a little subtle.
Tonghua could only ask dryly, "Is Xinyue okay now?"
But this remark seemed to have touched the other person's wound, and the sorrow on Zhang's mother's face became even more intense: "I like her."
Zhang's mother couldn't continue speaking and covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly. This frightened Tonghua, who quickly went into the house to get her some tissues.
Tonghua handed over a tissue and asked carefully, "Is Xinyue still unconscious?"
When she left Hangcheng, Zhang Xinyue was unconscious on the hospital bed. When she came back from Rongcheng and saw her stepmother Zhang Guiying, she asked about Zhang Xinyue's illness. Zhang Guiying didn't say a word, as if any more questions would offend her ears. Therefore, Tonghua didn't understand Zhang Xinyue's condition and thought her illness had been cured long ago.
Zhang's mother tried her best to suppress her grief, choking with sobs as she spoke, "Xinyue was in a coma for a long time and only recently began to wake up. But, after she woke up, she kept telling me about things that happened when she was a child... She also said that after all these years, she has so many friends around her, but she feels that only you are truly kind to her. You would go to the bar to find her because you care about her safety... So, will you come with me to meet her?!"
Although Tonghua still felt it was a bit strange that Zhang Xinyue treated her as a friend and wanted to see her until her death just because she was worried about her and went to the bar to find her that one time, Tonghua felt a little sorry for the passing of a life of a 20-year-old who was in the prime of her life. She didn't want the other party to die with regrets, so she softened her heart and agreed to Zhang's mother's request.
"Which hospital is Xinyue in now? I'll ask the driver to pick us up. Our car is parked at the gate."
"No need!" Zhang's mother quickly rejected Tonghua's request to send a driver. Then, seeing Tonghua looking at her with a puzzled expression, she explained, "I can just take you there. No need to trouble someone else."
"It's okay, he's our family's full-time driver, it's not a problem."
"I don't want too many people to disturb my daughter's final peace."
"Then I'll have the driver wait outside?"
Seeing that Tonghua couldn't be persuaded, Zhang's mother became anxious. She covered her face and cried again, "If you don't want to go, forget it. There's no need to make excuses like this. It's a pity for my daughter that she can't even fulfill her last wish. Don't worry, my daughter. I will go down to apologize to you soon..."
Hearing Aunt Zhang getting more and more excited and talking more and more outrageously, Tonghua had no choice but to speak up to stop her: "Wait, wait, wait." Tonghua grabbed the excited Zhang's mother and said kindly: "Aunt Zhang, that's not what I meant. I'll listen to you."
"Then come with me."
Tonghua followed Zhang's mother to the underground parking lot and finally came to a dilapidated van.
