Act like her brother
Chen Tian stayed by the window for a long time, calming himself down. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the sky in front of him was bluer and brighter.
Chen Tian smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the old lady's ward.
Chen Tian knocked on the door of the ward. He didn't go in, but through the glass above the door he could see the old lady lying peacefully on the bed.
Chen Hai was still cleaning the bloodstains on the ground.
When Gao Yamei saw that it was Chen Tian, she closed the door and stood outside and said, "Chen Tian, sit down."
Gao Yamei walked to the bench opposite and wanted Chen Tian to sit down and talk.
Chen Tian stood still and said, "No need, aunt, I just want to say a few words."
When Gao Yamei looked at Chen Tian again, she felt that he looked different in some way, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Gao Yamei didn't sit down either, the two just stood face to face.
Chen Tiandao: "Don't worry about Chen Rong's matter. It has been resolved. She will withdraw the lawsuit."
When Gao Yamei heard what Chen Tian said, she was stunned. Every word was simple, but why did it not sound simple at all when it came out of Chen Tian's mouth?
Gao Yamei asked, "What's going on? Why would she suddenly withdraw the lawsuit?"
Gao Yamei still remembered Chen Rong's threatening tone. It was impossible for her to withdraw the lawsuit easily in that state.
Chen Tiandao said, "Aunt, don't ask so many questions. Anyway, you, uncle, and Chen Xing will all be fine."
Chen Tian didn't intend to tell Gao Yamei the truth, and he couldn't find a better reason to lie to her, so he could only say this.
Gao Yamei asked, "Chen Tian, tell me, did you meet Chen Rong again afterwards? What did you talk about?"
Chen Tiandao: "No, aunt, I just said a few words to my mother."
Chen Tian had no reason and could only change the subject.
Chen Tian said with a look of self-blame, "I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. She was threatened by Chen Rong out of necessity, but I won't let her do anything to let you down again."
Gao Yamei looked at Chen Tian who suddenly bowed to her at a ninety degree and apologized sincerely. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart for a moment.
Gao Yamei supported Chen Tian, helped him stand up straight, and said, "Chen Tian, I don't blame you. Your mother is your mother. No matter what she did, you don't need to apologize for her."
Chen Tian nodded without saying anything. He thought it would be great if he also had a sensible and reasonable mother.
Chen Tian no longer has anything to ask for. His terrible twenty years are not too bad. At least there is still hope that he can get rid of the current predicament, live his own life, and usher in the dawn.
Chen Tiandao: "Aunt, I'm leaving first. If the old lady is discharged from the hospital, you can send her back to the old courtyard in the countryside. I will bring her food and take care of her in the future."
Gao Yamei was worried about this matter. The old lady was already in the late stage of lung cancer. The current treatment could only reduce the pain. Chemotherapy was meaningless. Hospitalization could only stabilize the condition. If it was stabilized, there would be no need for hospitalization.
By that time, she hadn't decided where to send the old lady. Chen Rong would definitely not care, and Liu Fang had to take care of her daughter-in-law and children, so she probably wouldn't care either.
It was impossible for Gao Yamei to bring the old lady to Xinghai City. She had already done her best by taking care of her in the hospital. When Chen Xing and Chen Yue started school, it would be the second semester of their senior year. That was the most important time for them, and they must not be affected by the old lady.
Gao Yamei looked at Chen Hai and knew that he would not leave the old lady to die without anyone to take care of her. She just wondered why Chen Tian suddenly took on these responsibilities that should not have fallen on him.
Gao Yamei asked, "Chen Tian, why do you say that? Did your mother tell you something?"
Chen Tian shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything, I just felt that I should do this."
"Besides, she's sick and in the hospital, and our family can't afford the medical expenses, so we have to do more. My brother can't be relied on, my mom has to take care of my sister-in-law, and my dad has to work in the fields, so the burden falls on me."
Chen Tian said this as if there was nothing wrong with him, but the way he took the initiative to take responsibility was heartbreaking.
Gao Yamei said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll discuss it with your uncle first. Don't rush to take on the job. You're still a child yourself."
When Chen Tian heard Gao Yamei's last words, he smiled bitterly. He was no longer a child who could ask for candy.
Chen Tian had nothing more to say, so he said goodbye to Gao Yamei and turned to leave.
Chen Tian did not change his mind about the old lady and still believed that what she did to Chen Xing was unforgivable.
He took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of her, but he thought that Chen Hai would not give up the old lady. If Gao Yamei gave in, he was afraid that the old lady would delay Chen Xing's college entrance examination.
Chen Tian will not let anyone or anything affect the most important turning point in Chen Xing's life. He will clear all obstacles on her way to a bright future. This is what he should do as her brother.
From this moment on, Chen Tian truly acted like a brother. Whenever he heard Chen Xing call him "brother" in the future, he would not feel overwhelmed. At least he had done something he could for her.
After leaving the old lady's ward, Chen Tian did not leave the hospital directly. In the elevator, he met two people who were visiting the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Chen Tian didn't intend to go to that floor, but the moment the elevator door opened, he couldn't help but follow the two people down the elevator.
The structures of the inpatient buildings in the hospital are all similar. Chen Tian got out of the elevator and walked towards the corridor.
He didn't look for it deliberately, nor did he ask the nurse, he just walked aimlessly.
Until he passed by a ward with the loudest laughter, he heard a very familiar laughter and stopped suddenly.
The door of the ward was ajar. Chen Tian was tall and could see the scene inside through the glass on the door from a distance.
He stood there for a long time, and even though he could only see the upper body of the person inside, it was enough to see clearly.
He clearly saw that his mother was holding a baby in her arms, and even the wrinkles on her face were clearly visible when she was smiling.
Chen Feng and Chen De surrounded the baby in Liu Fang's arms. None of them noticed him outside the door, as if their family of three was just right and it would be too crowded with one more.
A nurse noticed that Chen Tian was staring at a ward, so she walked over and asked.
"Hello, are you a member of this family?"
Chen Tian turned around and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I took the wrong path."
The nurse only took one look at Chen Tian and felt that his features were very similar to Liu Fang in the film.
The nurse was very impressed with Liu Fang. When Wang Lili first moved in, Liu Fang had the loudest voice in the entire corridor. The nurse reminded her several times, so she naturally remembered it.
The nurse wanted to ask something else, but when she came to her senses, Chen Tian had already walked a long way away.
Chen Tian did not stay anywhere this time. He finally left here and left the place without any nostalgia, where there was no place for him and it did not belong to him.

At Wen Yu's house, after a few people finished breakfast, Wen Yu strongly suggested to rush to do homework, but Shen Xuyang tried his best to stop him, saying that he would never do homework on the Spring Festival.
Shi Nannan and Chen Xing have witnessed the self-discipline of Wen Yu, a top student.
Chen Xing didn't care. She had planned to concentrate on reviewing for the college entrance examination after the New Year, so one day earlier or one day later made no difference.
Although two people were in favor and two were against, the two sides remained deadlocked. Finally, after a verbal battle between Shen Xuyang and Shi Nannan, the whole morning passed.
Later, it was Chen Xing's words that ended this battle without smoke and weapons.
Wen Yu compromised only because Chen Xing's right hand was injured.
As a result, after noon, the sun was shining brightly, and it was the time when Shen Xuyang was at his most energetic.
Shen Xuyang grabbed Wen Yu to play games with him, and also dragged Shi Nannan and Chen Xing into the battle.
Shi Nannan and Chen Xing originally wanted to be spectators, but they became more and more excited as the game went on, and the four of them sat on the sofa and played games for the entire afternoon.
That afternoon, the four people had no worries in their minds, only the joy of being together.
It was not until the sun was about to set and the light in the house gradually dimmed that they realized it was almost night.
After the last round ended, no one took the initiative to suggest another round. The four of them stretched their muscles at the same time.
Shi Nannan touched her empty stomach and said, "I'm so hungry! I love eating so much, but I actually skipped lunch just to play games. My energy for the day is almost gone."
Shen Xuyang said: "Tsk! That's nothing, I even forgot to eat one day."
Shen Xuyang is the one with the biggest gaming addiction among the four of them. Even when he is in school, he will play games all night long. Anyway, since he doesn't study well in class, daytime is his time to catch up on sleep.
Shi Nannan rolled her eyes at Shen Xuyang and said, "What can you do? I've never seen you play games very well, but you still get beaten by Wen Yu every time."
Although Wen Yu doesn't play games, Shen Xuyang sometimes drags him to play a few games. He can be said to be a natural strong man who can learn anything quickly.
Shen Xuyang refused to admit it and said, "He was lucky."
Wen Yu smiled and looked in the refrigerator. It seemed that there was nothing edible.
Wen Yu asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Tonight, they all agreed to stay at Wen Yu's house. After all, it was not easy to come to Wen Yu's house on a normal basis, and he was the only one at Wen Yu's house, so it was very convenient.
Shen Xuyang often stayed overnight at Wen Yu's house, and it was not just once or twice.
It just so happened that Shi Nannan's parents were out having dinner with friends tonight and couldn't take care of her, so she didn't plan to go home.
Even if Chen Xing went home, she would be alone, so it would be more lively here, so she agreed.
This was the second time the four of them had spent the night together. The last time was on New Year's Eve, when they made a wish on Wutong Mountain.
When Shi Nannan heard about delicious food, all kinds of delicious food appeared in front of her eyes and she wanted to eat them all.
Shi Nannan said, "How about we eat hot pot? It suits the tastes of the four of us and it saves time."
Chen Xing said: "Yes, eating hot pot can also warm your body."
Wen Yu didn't ask Shen Xuyang's opinion and decided directly: "Okay, then hot pot."
"But we have to go to the supermarket first. We are running low on food at home."
