Chapter 67: Going Crazy Day 67 You are the wind and I am the sand, entangled...
Chapter 67
"Here it comes, a classic heart-wrenching scene from old romance novels." The system in my mind rubbed its hands excitedly. "It's the prelude to chasing my wife to the crematorium."
"Usually, by this point in the story, the male protagonist would be cremated. The thought of a middle-aged or elderly overbearing CEO being cremated is truly thrilling!"
"Host, you can find an opportunity to scatter his ashes."
The pain of the bite on her cheek made Tan Mo's brain go blank for a few seconds. The noisy chattering gave her a headache, "Shut up."
The system pouted in grievance.
There is still a long way to go from the prelude at the crematorium to the scattering of ashes.
Tan Mo covered her left cheek and looked around. Except for her, everyone present seemed a little shocked, shocked that Tang Yi said the most serious words in a light tone.
In addition to being shocked, Zhao Yun also felt self-pity.
Lu Xingjian looked at the absurd scene in front of him with more self-mockery.
Bo Yanli came back to his senses after a daze, cleared his throat, and said, "Don't be ridiculous. You, Haoran, and the rest of them are important people in my life. Don't say such extreme things. I won't trade one life for another."
After listening to this, Tan Mo thought to herself, this middle-aged boss is not so crazy after all.
Tang Yi, however, remained in a state of madness. "Brother Yan, I didn't mean to take their hearts. It's just that Haoran can't wait any longer."
"Your current wealth and fortune are all thanks to the unwavering support of our Tang family. If anything were to happen to Haoran, what would my parents in heaven think?"
"That's enough!" Bo Yanli's voice rose a little. "What nonsense are you talking about in front of others? I will definitely save Haoran. Don't worry."
Everyone's eyes were on him, and Bo Yanli felt that all his secrets were about to be discovered by them.
He felt uneasy. "If there's no problem, have breakfast first. After dinner, I'll go to the hospital to see the child and talk to a few more experts to see if there's any solution."
Generally speaking, when this is said, it means the matter is over and the rest of the people can do what they should do.
Tan Mo raised her hand fearlessly, "I have a question."
Bo Yanli's eyebrows twitched, and a bad premonition arose.
Tan Mo asked sincerely, "Mrs. Tang, when you said you wanted to dig out your heart for your son, did you check your brain?"
Bo Yanli: ...as expected
Tang Yi was a little angry, but she felt that the other person asked so sincerely, so she couldn't get angry.
He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tan Mo shook her head. "I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious how your brain is like your rectum, excreting what you eat. It's really puzzling."
"Xiao Nian, are you confused?"
Xu Xiaonian couldn't help laughing and nodded quickly, "It's confusing, it's confusing."
"Lu Xingjian, what about you?"
Lu Xingjian couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth any longer, "I've always been puzzled."
Tang Yi: ...
*
"How can there be such a weird request?" In the hospital, Nangong Lie complained speechlessly after listening to Tang Yi's request relayed by Xu Xiaonian.
After lying in the hospital for a day, the doctor allowed him to go back and recuperate.
He put the clothes into the suitcase and turned around to see Tan Mo. She looked back at him with an expression that said, "How dare you say such things?"
Nangong Lie shuddered and added the second half of his sentence, "What I mean is, from the perspective of someone who used to be a weirdo, Tang Yi's attempt to dig out the hearts of Lu Xingjian and his mother is even more outrageous."
"That's right." Xu Xiaonian came up to support Nangong Lie and said, "The entire Bo family lacks a socialist education. They can even casually dig up people's hearts."
Seeing that Nangong Lie was still very weak, he said distressedly: "Why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days? Look at you..."
Nangong Lie was still concerned about the Nangong family's affairs, and it was impossible for him not to keep a close eye on the Bo family at this critical moment.
"Tang Yi caused me to be hospitalized, and I have to go back to collect evidence and send her to prison."
Speaking of this matter, Xu Xiaonian also supported it. Tang Yi really went too far and she had to pay the price.
Xu Xiaonian said, "Okay, then you can take a good rest these few days and look for clues. I'll help you with the housework at the Bo family."
"How can that be?" Nangong Lie refused firmly. "You want to take the civil service exam, such an important thing, how can I become a stumbling block for you? You've been so busy since coming to the Bo family, you haven't reviewed properly, right?"
"I was planning to make you some refreshing and soothing soup yesterday, but who knew..."
Xu Xiaonian shrugged touchedly, "It's okay, your kindness is enough."
"As for work..." Xu Xiaonian looked at Tan Mo who was standing against the wall. "Xiao Mo is in need of an assistant recently. There's nothing we can do about it."
Somehow, Lu Xingjian felt a strange bitterness in his heart as he listened.
No one regarded him as Tan Mo's assistant anymore.
They were standing so close, yet so far away.
Tan Mo couldn't stand Xu Xiaonian and Nangong Lie's nagging, so she urged them, "Are you done? If you are, go back and have dinner early."
"Wait." Nangong Lie called her.
Tan Mo used her eyes to tell him what was going on.
Nangong Lie thought for a while, then mustered up the courage to say, "Can I be your assistant? Xiao Nian still needs to review, and I'm afraid she'll be too tired."
Wow, what a pair of ill-fated lovers.
Tan Mo suddenly felt that she had inexplicably become the ruthless queen who was preventing the young couple from being together.
Just thinking about Nangong Lie being her assistant made Tan Mo raise her eyebrows in surprise.
Before she could ask, Lu Xing behind her said bluntly: "No, how can you take care of Mr. Tan?"
Nangong Lie: "If not by me, then by you?"
Lu Xingjian choked. He knew he had no right to speak, and he didn't dare look at Tan Mo. He gathered his emotions and said, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that being an assistant is a very meticulous job, and you should always put Mr. Tan first in everything he does."
"Of course I know. Even though I've never been an assistant, haven't I seen others do it? I still remember how Tan Mo worked as my assistant before."
As Nangong Lie was talking, he seemed to be still reminiscing about the high spirits of the past, but was quickly awakened by Xu Xiaonian's elbow, "Why bring up the past?"
Nangong Lie cleared his throat.
Tan Mo hadn't expressed her opinion, so Lu Xingjian asked again, "Are you sure you're qualified for this position?"
"It certainly wasn't possible before, but now, after going through so much, I've seen the reality clearly. I'm just an ordinary person. If an ordinary person wants to make more money, then of course he has to learn everything and get rid of all his bad tempers."
Lu Xingjian said for the third time, "That's the truth, but are you sure you can completely let it go? Learn it completely?"
"No." Nangong Lie gradually understood what she meant and asked with a frown, "Lu Xingjian, what do you mean? Do you still think you're Tan Mo's assistant and don't want me to do it? Why do you always refute me and target me?"
This idiot is right, Lu Xingjian thought unwillingly.
Tan Mo made up her mind and said, "Then you can be my assistant."
"Really?" Nangong Lie was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. His stomachache and body were no longer weak. His work enthusiasm and professionalism soared.
He was as happy as a flower and came to Tan Mo, "Mr. Tan, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Tan Mo raised her eyelids and said, "Go home."
"Okay."
Nangong Lie enthusiastically led the way for Tan Mo and walked in front.
Just like when he was the president, there were always one or two lackeys who served him eagerly and showed off his wealth to him.
Lu Xingjian pinched his nose in annoyance. Hearing Xu Xiaonian's laughter, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that funny?"
Xu Xiaonian curled the corners of her lips, "Maybe you're the only one who doesn't think it's funny, Assistant Lu."
Lu Xingjian: ...
After Tan Mo got in the car, she gave Nangong Lie another task, "Find out where Bo Yanli and Zhao Yun went."
Nangong Lie agreed immediately.
The heart-digging incident happened in the morning, and Bo Yanli and Zhao Yun were not at home in the afternoon. They were not seen until dinner.
This was Nangong Lie's first serious mission as an assistant. However, after asking around, no one knew where they had gone.
The only person who might know is Lu Xingjian.
Lu Xingjian is in the kitchen.
As Nangong Lie walked in, he smelled the aroma of food. He took a deep breath and concluded, "You are making soup."
Lu Xingjian's eyebrows and eyes were dull. He looked at Nangong Lie, then at the stew pot on the stove, as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
Nangong Lie was ignored.
If Nangong Lie didn't have something to ask Lu Xingjian, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him. It was really a bit embarrassing now.
"What are you cooking? It smells so good." In order to show his presence, Nangong Lie deliberately opened the lid of the stew pot and wanted to interact with Lu Xingjian.
Unexpectedly, the lid of the stew pot was very hot. As soon as Nangong Lie picked it up, he couldn't bear the heat and the ceramic lid fell down with a clang.
"Don't move." Lu Xingjian frowned slightly, took a wet rag, and put the ceramic pot lid in order.
It looked very unwelcome, and Nangong Lie felt even more embarrassed.
"So it's papaya and white fungus soup." Nangong Lie said with a bright smile, "Do you have any extra white fungus? Give me some. I wanted to make some for Xiao Nian, but I forgot to soak it."
Lu Xingjian kept looking at the pot on the stove, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "No more."
"Oh, it's okay if you don't have it. I can just change to a soup without Tremella."
Nangong Lie took out his phone and asked, "Is this soup for Tan Mo?"
Lu Xingjian didn't say anything.
Nangong Lie: "Why are you doing this for her? She's not even an assistant anymore..."
Lu Xingjian interrupted him and said coldly, "She didn't eat much tonight."
Nangong Lie was embarrassed.
He pretended to be making a sweet soup strategy and said casually, "Why didn't I see your parents today?"
Lu Xingjian turned to him.
Nangong Liexin was startled, "I just haven't seen it for a long time, and it feels strange..."
"What do you want to say?"
"What did your parents do in the afternoon?" Nangong Lie said quickly.
Lu Xingjian folded his hands, tapping the rhythm with his right index finger. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood, "This is the task she gave you."
Nangong Lie: ...Is it so obvious?
He said tactfully, "Yes, this is my first assignment as a new official, so I must perform well."
"Actually, I already know where your parents are," Nangong Lie said bluffingly, "I came here to ask you just to get more details."
Lu Xingjian: "Oh, I see."
Then there was a sharp whistle-like sound. The sweet soup began to boil.
Lu Xingjian turned off the gas in an orderly manner, then took out a clean, empty bowl and poured the soup into it.
His movements were so skillful and smooth that it was a pleasure to watch. It was not until Lu Xingjian walked out of the kitchen with the plate in his hand that Nangong Lie came back to his senses and anxiously shouted at his back, "Do you know?"
Lu Xingjian: "Of course I know, but why should I tell you?"
Nangong Lie: ...
"You're so petty, I know you're a vindictive, selfish, and treacherous person."
He was getting angry, and suddenly he remembered that when Lu Xingjian first came to Longsheng, he followed Tan Mo obediently like a puppy.
At that time, Tan Mo told everyone that her apprentice had a good personality, was cheerful, sunny and naive.
Looking back now, it completely redefines "cheerful, sunny, naive and sweet".
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I always find a way." Nangong Lie cursed and then sniffed again.
He walked over to the casserole and looked down.
"There's still so much left. Don't waste it. Give some to Xiao Nian to nourish his brain."
*
When Lu Xingjian knocked on the door, Tan Mo had just finished dealing with emails.
He brought the bowl to the table and said, "You must be hungry. I see you didn't eat much tonight."
"What is this?" Tan Mo asked, looking at the bowl.
Inside is a crystal clear light golden, gelatinous liquid that looks like honey and smells faintly of papaya.
"Papaya and Tremella soup, I just cooked it." Lu Xingjian handed her the spoon.
Tan Mo suddenly felt a little awkward. He was no longer her assistant, so why was he still working so hard to do all this?
Looking at the rich and clear soup, the person who made it must have put a lot of thought into it.
Lu Xingjian's hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air. Tan Mo was slow to take it, which seemed awkward and abrupt. He shrank back and took his hand back.
Forced to smile, he said, "Is it too hot? Then drink it later."
"No." Tan Mo said, "From now on, I'll just let Nangong Lie handle this kind of thing. I won't bother you."
"Why?" Lu Xingjian's voice was hoarse and somewhat intermittent, "Nangong Lie can't do these things."
"If he can't do it, it's his business. He will find a way to solve it. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Xingjian actually understood everything, but he just didn't give up. After being exposed by Tan Mo, he felt embarrassed. He lowered his eyes and hummed softly.
Tan Mo hardened her heart and said, "Take this back."
Lu Xingjian: "Do you want it this time too? You said before that you like what I cook."
His voice was low, mixed with pity and grievance, and slowly faded away.
Tan Mo had a cold face and said nothing.
After a while, he went to take the tray from the table. Before leaving, he said, "I forgot to tell you."
"What?" Tan Mo pretended to speak in a normal tone.
"What are my parents doing?"
In fact, Lu Xingjian didn’t know where his parents had gone, but he knew why they didn’t come back.
Whenever Bo Yanli needed something from Zhao Yun or felt guilty, he would take Zhao Yun with him to spend some time alone.
On the big bed in the luxurious hotel, Zhao Yun nestled in Bo Yanli's arms.
She felt that she was the happiest woman in the world at this moment.
Bo Yanli took her to the amusement park she wanted to go to the most, took some photo booth photos with her, had a candlelight dinner with her, and finally, she had this man all to herself.
While they were making love, Bo Yanli was still whispering the sweet words that she loved to hear most in her ears.
"Are you happy?" Bo Yanli asked, touching her shoulder.
"Of course." Zhao Yun really felt that such a little life was wonderful.
She smiled and said, "Actually, I don't care how rich you are or how successful your career is. I just hope you can spend more time with me like you do now, and I'll be satisfied."
Bo Yanli automatically ignored the first sentence and followed her meaning, saying, "When Xingjian gets married and I retire, there will be many more good days like this."
"But, isn't there Tang Yi?" Zhao Yun asked tentatively.
No matter how kind, good and beautiful she is, she is still a vulgar woman. It is impossible for her to let Tang Yi run around under her nose and disgust her.
Bo Yanli thought for a long time. Just when Zhao Yun thought that this attempt had failed and her heart was sinking to the bottom, Bo Yanli spoke.
"Tang Yi is just my marriage partner. You should understand who I truly love. Who is it that can drive me so crazy, so out of control, and become unlike myself?"
Zhao Yun was completely captivated by the scene, "Yan Li, you are the wind and I am the sand, we are entangled to the ends of the earth."
At the end, she actually sang it out.
What a beautiful day.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so nice to me today?"
A busy man like Bo Yanli didn't go to work the whole afternoon, but just accompanied her to eat, drink and have fun.
"Because you are my woman, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? I will accompany you for the next two days."
Zhao Yun was satisfied again.
Bo Yanli did what he said. During these two days, he really accompanied Zhao Yun to travel, eat and drink, making Zhao Yun feel like she was back to the time when she was seventeen or eighteen years old and in love.
They returned to the Bo family house two days later.
Tan Mo happened to be having dinner with her group at that time. Bo Yanli was not at home, so she had to support the family. After all, it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
Maybe I would be happier without Bo Yanli.
In Nangong Lie's words, it means that you can fleece the Bo family openly and honestly.
At the table, there was another outsider, Tang Yi. She often fell into a melancholic daze, occasionally shedding a few tears with red eyes, but in Tan Mo's opinion, this play was a bit fake and contrived.
because……
Tan Mo approached her: "Don't cry anymore. The pain is on me, understand?"
Tang Yi looked up in surprise. She never thought that a stranger like Tan Mo would care about her.
She wiped her tears and said, "Thank you for worrying about me, but you don't have to feel the pain yourself. I just couldn't help crying when I thought of Haoran being alone in the hospital."
Her tears all come from twisting her thighs, and this time was no exception.
But when she just twisted it, Tan Mo slapped her hand away in pain, "Auntie, how can I not feel pain? You twisted my thigh!"
"You're going to twist your thigh, so watch carefully, okay?"
Tang Yi: ...
There was only one large piece of bone and meat left on the table. Lu Xingjian glanced at the one in Tang Yi's bowl and asked, "Have you eaten this piece?"
To ease the embarrassment, Tang Yi shook his head.
So Lu Xingjian took the bone and meat from Tang Yi's bowl and put it into Nangong Lie's bowl, and then gave the last piece of bone and meat on the table to Tan Mo.
Nangong Lie, who was eager to take the last piece of flesh and bone: ...
Lu Xingjian said to Tan Mo, "If you like this, eat more. Ask Aunt Wang to make more tomorrow."
Countless comments insulting Lu Xingjian flashed through Nangong Lie's mind.
"You are noble, you are cool, you chase people with my bones!"
Who knew that the next second, Tan Mo picked up the bones and meat in the bowl and put it into Nangong Lie's bowl, "You eat it, I don't want to eat anymore."
Lu Xingjian was stunned, his eyes slightly hot.
Nangong Lie's high emotions suddenly cooled down, a resentful expression froze on his face, and then he slowly turned to Xu Xiaonian.
Xu Xiaonian also felt the suffocating atmosphere.
Nangong Lie silently kissed Xu Xiaonian's lips, "How scary, what happened to them?"
Xu Xiaonian shook her head.
She poked Nangong Lie's arm cleverly and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and thank the boss."
Nangong Lie quickly calmed down and smiled flatteringly: "Thank you, boss. I will do my best."
He looked up at Tan Mo and saw someone coming in from the main door. He exclaimed, "Bo Yanli, Zhao Yun? You're back."
Everyone turned around.
Tan Mo took the initiative to ask: "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come here to eat something? There's nothing good at home, please don't be disgusted."
Bo Yanli had seen her thick skin before, so he remained silent. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yun said with a smile, "We just came back from eating outside. You guys can eat."
She was in a very good mood. It was the first time since Tan Mo met her that she saw her with such a smile on her face. She looked like a spring breeze.
"Where did you go to eat? Where have you been these two days?" Tang Yi stood up and questioned in an aggressive tone.
Bo Yanli came over with a smile and said, "We didn't go anywhere, something just happened."
"What could be more important than Haoran being sick right now? He's in urgent need of a heart, a heart!"
Zhao Yun gently comforted him, "Don't be so mean to Yanli. We really didn't go anywhere. Yanli just accompanied me to the amusement park, climbed the mountain, and had a spa treatment."
"Wow!" Nangong Lie complained after hearing this. "Is Zhao Yun here to mediate or to stir up trouble? Her son is sick and in the hospital, but Bo Yanli takes her on a tour and says it's nothing. It's much more comfortable than my beach vacation."
Xu Xiaonian joined in the rant, "I just said it on purpose for Tang Yi to hear."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that Lu Xingjian was still there, and said embarrassedly: “Assistant Lu, I didn’t mean you, but your mother.”
Lu Xingjian pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly.
Nangong Lie poked Xu Xiaonian and said, "He is not his assistant anymore. I am, I."
Lu Xingjian: ...
After looking at the money on the system, Tan Mo seriously considered whether she should add fuel to the fire of this love triangle.
Last time, thanks to the three of them, Tan Mo's balance directly exceeded 50 million. Only three or four days later, she went crazy again?
As Nangong Lie said, Tang Yi's blood pressure soared after hearing Zhao Yun's words.
He cursed without restraint, "Bo Yanli, do you still have a conscience? Our biological son is in the hospital and needs surgery, a major surgery!"
"You're actually still in the mood to take Zhao Yun out to play? You're actually capable of doing something like this."
"Don't talk nonsense." Bo Yanli suppressed his anger and tried to pull Tang Yi's hand. "Let's go upstairs and I'll explain it to you."
"Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
Tan Mo: “That’s right.”
Nangong Lie: "Yes."
Xu Xiaonian: "That's right."
Lu Xingjian: “…”
"Could it be that everything Zhao Yun said was a lie?"
Tan Mo: "Impossible."
Nangong Lie: "We are all listening!"
Xu Xiaonian: "Listening?"
Lu Xingjian: “…”
Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Which side are you on?"
Tang Yi: "I've been deceived by you time and time again. It would be foolish of me to go upstairs with you again this time."
Then he took out his cell phone and said, "I'm going to call the uncles and aunts from the Tang family right now and let them see how you bullied me."
"When my dad was dying, what did you promise by his bedside? Have you forgotten?"
Seeing that his plan was about to be disrupted, Bo Yanli became angry, and his hair was shaking with his movements.
He suddenly summoned up great strength and dragged Tang Yi to the reception room on the first floor. "Stop talking and come with me."
After a few seconds, the door was slammed shut.
Tan Mo and the others were a little stunned.
Tan Mo asked hesitantly, "Isn't this domestic violence? What should we do? Should we call the police?"
Xu Xiaonian: "Bo Yanli really looks like he's good at domestic violence."
Nangong Lie: "I don't think so."
Tan Mo asked doubtfully, "You two should be very experienced with this question, right? Nangong Lie, what do you usually do when you drag Xu Xiaonian back to the room?"
Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian blushed, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Then he pretended to be busy and looked around.
Nangong Lie cleared his throat.
Lu Xingjian said: "Don't worry, this is not domestic violence."
Nangong Lie gave a thumbs up and said, "It seems that you are more experienced. So what should we do now?"
Lu Xingjian looked at Tan Mo uncomfortably. "They're probably smashing things in the room. Usually, in situations like this, we just go about our own business."
Tan Mo waved her hand and said, "Then let's continue eating."
