Sheet music 16
"Am I right, Doctor Fang?"
Tang Guangyao's eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled. At first glance, he looked like a harmless and kind person.
Doctor Fang looked very serious, with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and a white coat. From a distance, he looked like the stereotypical reliable doctor.
He first raised his hand to push his glasses, and his eyes reflected a gleam of light under the lenses. Then, without thinking, he pushed the document bag back to Yu Ji.
"Guangyao, you're right, of course. I was inconsiderate just now."
Tang Xi felt that Dr. Fang was really fickle. Now he even agreed that she would make mistakes. Could it be that it was natural for men to see and deal with men's mistakes, but when it came to women, they were just being unreasonable?
She had a new understanding of her father. She felt that if she only used her eyes to judge people and things, she would be easily deceived by the two of them and think that they were all reliable and good men.
Hypocritical, these four words suddenly popped up in Tang Xi's mind.
Tang Guangyao was very satisfied with the speed with which the other doctor took the collar.
After he 'solved' one, he looked at his daughter standing next to Yu Ji. He stretched out his hand to her as usual: "Xixi, come to Daddy."
He felt that his daughter was no different from the pets he once raised. As long as he gave her enough "meat" and called out to her, she would come to him with her tail wagging.
In the past, Tang Xi would indeed walk towards her father without hesitation, but today, when she looked up at her smiling father, she did not feel that he was kind and gentle at all. Her stomach acid began to surge for no reason, and even the soy milk she had clinked glasses with her mother in the morning no longer made her stomach feel warm again.
Her nausea wasn't entirely unfounded.
When she realized that her mother was completely different from what she had imagined, the extra emotion in her heart was obviously surprise, accompanied by almost overflowing excitement, as if she had confirmed the happiness that she had been guessing without basis for many years.
Her mother loves her, but she chooses to hide her love. If you don’t observe carefully, you will never be able to notice it at first glance.
As Tang Xi gets to know her mother better, she re-flattens her past memories like a reel of film, and her father's image undergoes a two-level reversal.
It's not that she hasn't felt confused. She gained a good mother but lost a good father at the same time. Even if the law of conservation of energy prevails, she should have remained calm from beginning to end, but that wasn't the case.
She should be miserable about this, but the truth is, everything is exactly the same as when she discovered the 'truth' about her mother.
The first reaction that popped into her mind was that it was as she expected.
Yes, that’s true.
Dad's love was superficial, more like loving something he owned than loving her personally.
She was simply angry at her past self for choosing to be blinded by one thing.
She ignored the real Tarzan, and instead imagined her mother as thunder while plugging her ears with two beans.
She turned her eyes away from her father's open palm, as if she was afraid that it would be separated, and chose to hide the palm of her mother's hand that she had successfully grasped behind her back with her arm.
If mother and daughter were previously connected by the umbilical cord, an invisible line will grow between them after the girl is born.
As long as they understand each other's minds, they can easily see each other's deep feelings.
The mother did not clench her fingers tightly, but tapped them twice gently.
She doesn't need to speak, she knows what she is talking about,
"Tang Xi, we must bring grandma home."
Good mother, she will definitely bring grandma home.

Tang Guangyao's patience was beginning to run out, and he cursed in his heart, "What an ungrateful little bastard! She gave him so much money but still didn't know who was the one who truly treated her well. She was just like her mother."
He let out a faint sigh from his throat, and the smile on his face was still there, but it changed from being kind to helpless: "Xixi, don't be afraid. Even if you do something wrong, Dad won't scold you. You should know that Dad loves you the most in this world. Even if you kill people or set fire to things, Dad will still love you!"
His eyes fell on Yu Ji's arm that was being pulled, and he shook his head again: "Don't be afraid of Mom getting angry, come to Dad, Dad will always be your strongest support."
Tang Xi still didn't move, and a similar stubbornness flashed in his eyes.
He looked at his daughter's face, which was similar to his wife's, and suddenly his mind recalled the distant past -
He fell in love with Yu Ji at first sight in high school, so naturally he wanted to give all the good things to her.
However, not only did she not appreciate it, she even threw the things into the trash without mercy, and calmly refused without a trace of anger.
"Tang Guangyao, I said I don't want the things you gave me. If you think the money is too much, then keep giving it to me. I'll throw it all in the trash can."
Her unlucky friend Song Duzhou even fanned the flames, saying that she did a great job.
She knows nothing. Even though she looks glamorous now, everyone in the circle knows that she got pregnant before marriage and the child is a fatherless bastard.
In his opinion, she just didn't know what a good man was, so she deserved to be deceived!
He put down his open palm, took out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket, and handed it to Tang Xi without even counting them.
The things she doesn't want, her daughter likes very much.
It would be better to say that even though she has half stupid blood, as the daughter of Tang Guangyao, she always knows what is best.
He said,
"Alice, Dad knows that although Grandma... ...but you have always been a good child and you definitely wouldn't look at Grandma with strange eyes. You sincerely hope that the old lady is well, so you come to a place like this to see her. Dad understands everything. Take the money and go show your filial piety to Grandma. Go ahead."
Tang Xi didn't need to count carefully to know that the cash Tang Guangyao took out was no less than 10,000. Even though he always knew that his father was generous with money, this was the first time.
Instead of smiling, she instinctively felt resistance, and the look in her eyes when she looked at her father became increasingly disappointed.
She was about to speak when her mother let go of her hand and patted her back twice: "Tang Xi, since he wants to give you money, just accept it."
Tang Xi thought his mother had misunderstood him, and was about to speak up to clarify his position, but he caught a glimpse of cunning in her eyes.
Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she looked like a fox.
"Your grandma complained about back pain and shoulder pain last time. She always gets acupuncture and physical therapy, which is very painful. She wants a massage to relax her. Why don't you just buy her a massage chair?"
Tang Xi blinked twice quickly, pointed at herself and said uncertainly: "Should I buy a massage chair for grandma?"
Doctor Fang then said, "Although buying a massage chair can help relieve fatigue, Xiaoxi is so young, how can she understand how to buy such an expensive item?"
Yu Ji didn't look at Doctor Fang. Instead, she held the back of Tang Xi's hand, patted it twice, and stuffed something into her palm: "Mom thinks you definitely know what massage chair to buy and where to put it. Of course, if you can't make up your mind, go find your sister Xingxing. If you don't have enough money, ask Xingxing's mother to pay for it. She will definitely be happy to do so."
She emphasized the syllables of 'where to put it'.
Tang Guangyao laughed out loud twice, feeling quite proud that "after all, you are still short of money."
He took out a long wallet from his back pocket, picked up a black card and shook it twice in front of Tang Xi.
He looked kind and gentle, "Xiao Ji, you're such a fool! What's the point of asking Xixi to ask her friends for money? If she can't pay it back, she'll still have to ask me for it. Come on, Xixi, use Daddy's card and use it boldly. The password is your birthday. When you see clothes or bags at the mall, just buy them. If a friend wants something, we Xixi will give it to them. Don't be stingy with gifts. That's how our relationship will last."
After he said that, he scratched Tang Xi's nose.
She was only thinking about taking the card, but was caught off guard when it was scratched. She subconsciously retracted her head and her double chin was exposed.
Tang Guangyao felt his daughter's resistance, but he didn't feel worried at all at this moment.
Look, no matter how bad your face is at ordinary times, you still have to spend his money when the time comes.
He has everything, while Yu Ji is just a woman who stays at home all year round and has no knowledge at all.
He felt that even her piano skills, which she was so proud of, were far superior to his, and she probably couldn't even remember a few keys!
*
As Tang Xi closed the door of the doctor's office, she heard her smug father speak.
"Xiao Ji, if you want to buy something for your mother, you can just tell me directly. When have I ever been unwilling to give you money? There's no need to drag Xixi into this."
"Tang Guangyao, you know who was the first to drag her into our feud.
My father didn't reply. Instead, Doctor Fang sneered. The stool scraped against the floor, and the 'steady' Doctor Fang was obviously a little flustered.
"You guys chat, I'll go check on the ward."
Tang Xi didn't have time to hide, and her eyes met Dr. Fang's.
Doctor Fang's expression showed no sign of embarrassment. He nodded to Tang Xi with a dignified attitude and began to lecture her again: "Xixi, why don't you go buy a massage chair for grandma? Are you thinking of going somewhere else to have fun?"
He was halfway through his words when his eyes fell on the card in her hand. “My daughter is just like you. She always spends money on beautiful clothes for no apparent reason. That’s why I won’t give her my card.”
He sighed: "You little girls, you have no idea how hard it is for adults to make money... Forget it, you girls don't understand, you are just girls anyway."
He finished speaking to himself, shook his white robe, and disappeared in a moment.
Tang Xi's frown didn't get any tighter than before.
She wondered if arresting the doctor and beating him up would count as medical trouble...
never mind.
She put the card in her pocket and took out the crumpled paper she had just secretly taken out.
'Discharge Application'
She really wasn't sure if she could get her grandmother discharged from the hospital. She only had one chance and she couldn't abuse it.
She had to contact Sister Xingchui quickly. Although she didn't have the popular smart phone and didn't buy a pager, didn't the nurse's desk have a ready-made number and landline?
Her shoes clattered on the ground, and she jumped in front of the nurse, looking at her eagerly: "Sister nurse, did my cousin leave a contact number yesterday?"
"Your cousin? Oh, you mean the girl in the leather jacket yesterday?" The nurse nodded. "Yes, she registered her phone number yesterday. What's the matter? You want to call your cousin?"
Tang Xi twisted her body and said coquettishly, "My phone book is at home... Mom suddenly asked me to contact my cousin. Um, it's about grandma's discharge from the hospital. Can you help me?"
Tang Xi spoke sincerely, and every word she said was true except for her "cousin identity".
Although the nurse wanted to show the booklet to Tang Xi directly, it was not in accordance with the rules. She tapped her fingers on the table twice and decided to dial the number for her.
The nurse quickly dialed the number and handed the microphone to Tang Xi.
As soon as she put her ear to the speaker, she heard an unusual beeping sound coming from the other side. It was a rock song with unique characteristics, and the singer was definitely her 'cousin'.
The moment the noisy singing faded away, a lazy voice was heard: "Who is it, so early in the morning——"
Tang Xi wanted to tease her: "Your cousin."
Song Xingchui was extremely sensitive to voices, but he still chose to go along with the other person's words: "Oh? I have many sisters, which one are you?"
Tang Xi pursed her lips and smiled happily.
"Your sister, whose three generations of grandparents need your help, please come quickly."
"You have three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and we are mother and daughter?"
"Yes, there are some obstacles for grandma to be discharged from the hospital."
"Who dares to stop grandma from leaving the hospital?! Your damn dad!"
“..........Yes, so please come quickly.”
Tang Xi still has some psychological barriers to cursing at his father.
Song Xingchui didn't. While he was cursing, a chaotic sound suddenly came from the microphone, like a cell phone being thrown to the ground. After a lot of crackling sounds, a heavy object fell to the ground with a bang, accompanied by Song Xingchui's swearing.
Tang Xi thought, it turns out she wasn't the only one who fell off the bed.
Song Xingchui took the phone back and shouted, "We'll be there in half an hour—no, we'll be there in twenty minutes. Mom—Aunt Ji asked us to go to the hospital to help her mom!"
The various sounds at the back mixed together, and Tang Xi really couldn't make out what was going on. He could only vaguely make out that the mother and daughter opposite were cursing at each other.
The older woman yelled, "If you had gotten up earlier, we wouldn't have to wait for you to wash and change clothes. We'd be there in ten minutes."
The young woman angrily replied, "If you could predict the future, wouldn't it have been quicker for me to just sleep in the hospital last night?"
The older woman couldn't refute this and cursed again, "Damn Tang Guangyao, he's definitely going to do something weird again. Hurry up! What if Xiaoji gets bullied if you're late?"
The young woman was a little incredulous: "Do you think Aunt Ji is the type to be bullied? She was just putting up with it for Xiaoxi's sake."
The older woman lowered her voice. "I'm afraid she'll be tempted to kill and silence the witnesses, and we'll only be able to dispose of the bodies by the time we get there."
The young woman's voice was even softer than before.
She sighed and said with emotion: "I think you are really thinking too much. Let's just pick up grandma from the hospital, okay?"
Tang Xi thought, if someone really dared to stop grandma from being discharged from the hospital.
She would never do murder or arson, but she would definitely be happy to beat up Dr. Fang. But she didn't know if her father would really stand by her unconditionally as he said if the truth came to light.
She thought her mother would.
