It was two hours later when Deng Shangwei arrived at the hospital.
It was past nine in the evening, and Deng Shangwei reeked of alcohol. Wen Ying frowned immediately, "Uncle, don't drive after drinking!"
Deng Shangwei was stunned. "Your aunt doesn't care about me, and you, a little girl, are still caring about me?"
Wen Ying nodded seriously: "My uncle loves me, and I care about him too. Drinking and driving can easily lead to accidents. It's lucky if nothing happens once or twice. How can you be so lucky every time? Even if you get a little scratched, I will feel very uncomfortable. Xiaojie and Xiaohao will feel uncomfortable too. My aunt will definitely feel the most uncomfortable. She cares about you, you know it!"
Wen Ying was clearly telling people not to drink and drive, but for some reason, Deng Shangwei felt a little guilty.
He didn't dare to look into Wen Ying's clear and innocent eyes. When he turned around and saw his wife Chen Li smiling, Deng Shangwei's heart sank.
"How many times have I told you not to drink and drive, and you've been fooling me! Now let Sakura teach you a lesson. In front of Sakura, I want to see if you dare to make a promise."
Chen Li firmly stood on Wen Ying's side.
Deng Shangwei could only raise his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, I won't drive after drinking anymore, okay?"
Wen Ying smiled and said, "Okay, you treat me like a child. It's easy for you to deceive me. Anyway, I can't follow you all the time. But if I catch you once, I will never talk to you again!"
Deng Shangwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"How come Sakura has changed so much after not seeing you for over a month? I'm a man of my words. I won't drink and drive. If you catch me once, we'll end our relationship."
Chen Li twisted his arm, and Deng Shangwei muttered softly, "Xiaoying wants to break up with me. I'm scared to death. Haven't I thrown away my daughter for nothing?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was harmonious.
The two people in the next bed were dumbfounded.
The ones in the ward during the day are the biological parents, right?
This couple seems to be my aunt and uncle.
It is rare that my aunt and uncle are more affectionate to my child than his biological parents.
If Chen Li didn't look very young and couldn't give birth to a daughter as old as Wen Ying, others would have suspected that Wen Ying was actually Chen Li's biological daughter.
That night, Deng Shangwei stayed in the hospital with the patient.
Chen Li was sent back by Deng Shangwei to sleep. Deng Shangwei and Chen Li had already settled down in Chengdu, but they also had a house in the city. Their business was big, so they couldn't abandon their hometown.
Wen Ying actually slept very uneasily that night. She had a fever again in the middle of the night. Deng Shangwei was shocked when he touched her forehead and quickly asked the doctor in charge to see her.
The doctor gave Wen Ying another IV drip.
Wen Ying tossed and turned before falling asleep, but Deng Shangwei didn't dare to sleep and wanted to stare at Wen Ying's infusion bottle.
As dawn was about to break, Deng Shangwei's cell phone rang.
He took a look at the incoming call number and hung up directly. The other party seemed to have something urgent to do. Deng Shangwei called the phone several times but the other party didn't give up.
After several attempts, Deng Shangwei finally walked outside the ward and answered the phone.
On the hospital bed, Wen Ying opened her eyes.
It's only six o'clock in the morning.
Even if it was a business matter, he wouldn't call so early.
If it was really a call from the company, my uncle would have answered it the first time.
If it’s not the company’s business, then whose is it?
The hospital was very quiet at six in the morning. Wen Ying could hear Deng Shangwei's low voice in the corridor. He was comforting the person on the other end of the phone and promised that he would return to Chengdu soon. It turned out that as long as you pay attention, you will find some clues. In her previous life, she spent the entire summer vacation in Chengdu for cram school and lived under the same roof with her aunt's family for two months, but she didn't notice anything.
Wen Ying smiled bitterly, thinking that she was really too slow at the age of 16.
At that time, the four words "failure in the high school entrance examination" were like a curse hanging over her head, covering her entire sky and leaving her no time to perceive the joys and sorrows of others.
Even her aunt Chen Li who cares about her.
She unilaterally enjoyed her aunt's kindness, but never thought about sharing her aunt's worries.
What happened to her aunt Chen Li has always been a knot in Wen Ying's heart. In her previous life, after she and He Zhen fell in love, they were on a date one day when they happened to receive a call for help from her cousin Deng Hao.
Wen Ying helped Deng Hao solve the problem as usual. After hanging up the phone, she saw He Zhen seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Wen Ying thought He Zhen disliked her meddling too much in her cousin's affairs, so she started talking about Deng Hao's childhood. If it weren't for family changes, Deng Hao wouldn't have become what he is today.
She briefly talked about the love-hate relationship between her aunt Chen Li and her uncle Deng Shangwei. What did He Zhen say at the time? Oh, he said that Chen Li was too impulsive and messed up a good hand of cards.
"No one is born to be pampered. Your aunt only considers things from her own perspective. She never thought that she is also a mother."
Wen Ying thought He Zhen’s statement was too cruel at the time. She couldn’t believe that He Zhen had lived abroad since he was a child. Where did this Qing Dynasty remnant come from?
Wen Ying scolded He Zhen, but He Zhen didn't argue with her. He just asked her to think about it carefully.
Wen Ying doesn't think He Zhen is right.
At that time she had not thought that she would be reborn.
Now that she is 16 years old again and has seen her young aunt and uncle with her own eyes, Wen Ying can't help but ask herself: Is the mistake made by her uncle Deng Shangwei really so unforgivable?
If Deng Shangwei makes a mistake once, does that mean he must be sentenced to death without even a reprieve?
If it weren't for the family change in their previous life, would the two cousins Deng Jie and Deng Hao have had completely different lives?
Wen Ying's mind was in a mess.
"Sakura, Sakura!"
Deng Shangwei's voice brought Wen Ying back to her senses.
Deng Shangwei asked Wen Ying what she wanted to eat in the morning and said he would buy it for her right away. He also said that he would go back to Chengdu after Chen Li came to take over the shift because he had some business matters to attend to.
Wen Ying thought of the phone call and knew that it was not business that made Deng Shangwei rush back to Chengdu.
But Wen Ying couldn't expose Deng Shangwei.
At least not at this time.
She said she wanted to drink porridge. Deng Shangwei brought back a bowl of clear soup dumplings in addition to porridge for breakfast. Wen Ying changed her mind and said she wanted to eat dumplings. Deng Shangwei smiled and changed their breakfast.
"The food in other people's bowls tastes better, right? Eat quickly, girl."
"Uncle, when I'm discharged from the hospital, can you take me to Rongcheng?"
Deng Shangwei slurped the white porridge and nodded vaguely, saying "OK".
Wen Ying smiled immediately.
When Chen Li arrived, she saw the two of them had already eaten most of the breakfast they had bought, chatting and laughing. Chen Li shook the thermos in her hand and asked, "Can't you wait for me to bring you food?"
Deng Shangwei wiped his mouth and stood up:
"I can't wait any longer. The company called early this morning and said there was a problem with a batch of goods last night. I have to rush back to Rongcheng to deal with it. You stay with Xiaoying. I'll leave right away."
Chen Li pressed on what was wrong with the goods, but Deng Shangwei shook his head. "It's just a minor inconvenience. Why are you saying this in front of Xiaoying? You should stay back home for a few more days. When Xiaoying gets better, take her back to Chengdu. I think my sister and brother-in-law are going to blame Xiaoying for not doing well in the high school entrance exam. Bring her to Chengdu to avoid her parents' anger."
Chen Li couldn't help but be led astray by Deng Shangwei:
"If you ask me, I was going to take Xiaoying back to Rongcheng anyway, but you came here to be the good guy!"
