Chapter 171 Wang Baomin's Story 3
"Take this money first, use it for your mother's medical treatment." Wang Baomin handed the money to Zhou Tian.
“No, no, I…” Zhou Tian quickly refused.
"Consider this money a loan from your aunt. You can pay it back to your aunt when you have the money in the future," Tao Ying said softly.
"Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely pay you back." Zhou Tian held the bag in her hand.
"I'll take you to the hospital." Wang Baomin packed breakfast and left with Zhou Tian.
Tao Ying's "..." was quite different from Xiao Xue's.
When Wang Baomin took Zhou Tian to the hospital, Zhou Tian's mother had already been moved out of the ward.
A person sat alone in the hall, with nothing around them.
"Mom!" Zhou Tian ran over crying.
"Don't cry, Tian Tian, Mom is okay." Zhou Tian's mother weakly stroked the top of Zhou Tian's head.
It was already in its late stage, so even with treatment, it was impossible to cure.
The continuous chemotherapy made Zhou Tian's mother very uncomfortable.
“Aunt Zhou.” Wang Baomin walked over.
"Who are you?" Zhou Tian's mother did not recognize Wang Baomin.
“Jiang Huan is my stepfather,” Wang Baomin said.
"Thank you," Zhou Tian's mother said softly, her voice weak with emotion.
"Mom, Mr. Wang lent me money, we have money to pay the hospital fees now," Zhou Tian said, wiping away her tears and her eyes red.
"Mr. Wang, we've already troubled you so much. Could you please take care of Tian Tian a little longer? I don't have many days left to live. I'll definitely repay you when Zhou Hao comes back." Zhou Tian's mother looked at Wang Baomin with pleading.
Sweetie is so spoiled at home that she can't survive. But if Sweetie and Xiaohao are sent away together, Xiaohao might never come back in order to protect Sweetie.
We can't let Tian Tian ruin Zhou Hao's life.
Although it was hard to bear, she still gave up her daughter. How could a mother not feel heartbroken?
But there's really no other way.
"Aunt Zhou..."
"Tian Tian, go and help Mom with the admission procedures. A regular ward will do," Zhou Tian's mother interrupted Wang Baomin.
“Okay.” Zhou Tian took her mother’s documents and quickly went downstairs.
“Our family has given up on Tian Tian.” After Zhou Tian left, Zhou Tian’s mother said to Wang Baomin.
“If it weren’t for you, Tian Tian might have been gone yesterday, or today might be the day our mother and I die,” Zhou Tian’s mother continued.
“No one will help us at this time, and I don’t ask you to help us either. Thank you for your help to her yesterday.” Zhou Tian’s mother looked at Wang Baomin gratefully.
"I have no feelings for her, I just saw injustice and wanted to help," Wang Baomin explained.
“I know I don’t have many days left, and I might not even survive a week. Zhou Hao might not be able to come back. Thank you for saving Zhou Tian yesterday.” Zhou Tian’s mother held Wang Baomin’s hand.
Wang Baomin felt as if a key had been shoved into his hand.
Zhou Tian's mother talked to Wang Baomin for a while longer before she became unconscious.
Zhou Tian returned covered in sweat, having already completed the hospital admission procedures.
Wang Baomin carried Zhou Tian's mother into the ward, hired a caregiver for her, and then left.
After leaving, Wang Baomin went directly to Jiang Huan and gave him the key.
“Uncle Jiang, this was given to me by Madam Zhou. I feel like she’s using this to exchange for Zhou Tian’s safety.” Wang Baomin didn’t know what the key represented.
“How can a mother really watch her daughter die? You are their lifeline.” Jiang Huan sighed as he looked at the key.
“Uncle Jiang, what should we do?” Wang Baomin asked, looking at Jiang Huan.
“Baomin, this key will allow our family to move up another level,” Jiang Huan said bluntly.
“I understand.” Wang Baomin nodded.
After Wang Baomin left, he found two caregivers and took them to the hospital.
They upgraded Zhou Tian's mother's ward.
“Mr. Wang…” Zhou Tian was a little nervous.
"Aunt Zhou, I will take good care of Zhou Tian from now on," Wang Baomin assured Zhou Tian's mother.
"Mr. Wang?" Zhou Tian looked at Wang Baomin with disbelief. He had just rejected her this morning.
"Thank you." Zhou Tian's mother gave a weak smile.
"Sweetie, live well and wait for your brother to come back," Zhou Tian's mother said with a smile.
“Mom…” Zhou Tian had a bad feeling.
"Is Tian Tian still in school?" Wang Baomin asked, looking at Zhou Tian.
“I’m a junior majoring in art.” Zhou Tian was taken aback by Wang Baomin’s way of addressing her.
“Actually, my mom could adopt Tian Tian as her goddaughter,” Jiang Huan added.
“No, you take care of Tian Tian.” Zhou Tian’s mother shook her head vigorously.
Wang Baomin's mother has too many children, but to outsiders, none of them are as precious as Wang Baomin's girlfriend.
Even if Wang Baomin changes in the future, Zhou Hao may have already returned.
Perhaps Zhou Tian has already become independent.
Even if there's no possibility, then it's Zhou Tian's fate.
"Okay," Wang Baomin replied.
"Mom?" Zhou Tian was completely bewildered and didn't understand what the two were talking about.
However, she understood what her mother meant: she would have to follow Wang Baomin from now on, unless Wang Baomin didn't want her anymore.
A short while later, Zhou Tian's mother fell asleep.
"I'll take you to pack your things," Wang Baomin suggested before leaving.
“I don’t have much left. My house was auctioned off by the court. I only have some things left in my school dormitory,” Zhou Tian said, her head down.
"I'll take you shopping." Wang Baomin took a card out of his wallet and gave it to Zhou Tian.
"Here, take this. I'll have someone deposit 10,000 into it every month. If it's not enough, just let me know." Wang Baomin wasn't stingy with Zhou Tian.
"I..." Zhou Tian didn't know what to say for a moment.
“From now on, you can move in with me. Tell me what you like, and I’ll help you rearrange it. I’ve never raised a child before, so please don’t hesitate to ask me for anything you need,” Wang Baomin said to Zhou Tian.
“I’m not a child anymore, I’m already twenty,” Zhou Tian emphasized.
“My niece is already fifteen. She’s much more capable of surviving than you.” Wang Baomin gently placed his palm on Zhou Tian’s head.
It seems there isn't a well-behaved little girl like that in my family.
“Your niece is thirty-five, which has nothing to do with my twenty,” Zhou Tian emphasized.
"Let's go, I'll take you shopping." Wang Baomin ruffled Zhou Tian's hair.
"I…"
"You have to stay with me!" Zhou Tian boldly grabbed Wang Baomin's sleeve.
"I didn't say I wouldn't stay with you, so why aren't you letting go?" Wang Baomin felt a little uncomfortable being held by the girl's sleeve.
"I won't let go, you're my boyfriend," Zhou Tian said tentatively.
"It's not about the bag anymore?" Wang Baomin raised an eyebrow.
“If you’ve met the elders, then it’s not,” Zhou Tian emphasized.
Wang Baomin “…”
"Mr. Wang..."
“Mr. Wang?” Wang Baomin interrupted Zhou Tian.
"Mr. Wang..."
"President Wang?" Wang Baomin exclaimed in surprise, feeling that they were becoming more and more distant.
"Darling?" Zhou Tian was stunned.
"Just call me by my name." Wang Baomin said weakly.
"Baomin!" Zhou Tian immediately called out obediently.
“Let’s go…” Wang Baomin let Zhou Tian pull his arm and walk out.
"Wang Baomin!!" The two had just stepped outside when they ran into Xia Tian.
Xia Tian was about to explode when she saw the two of them arm in arm.
"Bitch! Bitch!" Xia Tian angrily cursed, pointing at Zhou Tian's nose.
"Don't you have any manners?" Wang Baomin reached out and snapped Xia Tian's outstretched finger.
Summer suddenly erupted with a sharp scream.
Just as Zhou Tian found it jarring, a pair of warm, large hands were already on her ears.
Zhou Tian looked up at Wang Baomin.
Wang Baomin noticed the little girl looking at him, and smiled gently as he looked down.
When Xia Tian saw the two flirting in front of her, she instantly became furious, grabbed the cane of a bystander, and tried to hit Zhou Tian.
Wang Baomin wanted to leave with Zhou Tian in his arms, but unexpectedly, Zhou Tian's mother suddenly unleashed an astonishing power.
He ran up to Zhou Tian and let the cane hit him on the head.
"Mom!" Zhou Tian was immediately stunned.
Summer was stunned and immediately threw down her crutches and tried to run away.
Wang Baomin kicked him to the ground and said, "Call the police quickly!"
The medical staff quickly carried Zhou Tian's mother into the operating room.
Ten hours later, Zhou Tian's mother died in the operating room.
Zhou Tian was completely stunned. "Wang Baomin, do you think my mom did it on purpose?" Zhou Tian asked Wang Baomin expressionlessly.
"Zhou Tian, you need to be strong right now," Wang Baomin gently advised Zhou Tian.
And then he called Jiang Huan.
If you beat Xia Tian up, that's fine.
However, it's not something Wang Baomin can do if he wants to hold Xia Tian accountable.
"Wang Baomin, will you help me become stronger? I want to change my major." Zhou Tian's face was completely covered in tears.
I don't know why it turned out like this in such a short time.
Zhou Tian could tell that her mother did it on purpose, deliberately letting Xia Tian beat her to death.
She knew she only had a few days left and wanted to protect herself with her own life.
But as long as she lives, she is still a child with a mother.
Now that I have no mother, I've become a pitiful child without parents.
"Sweetie, it's not any particular major that can make you stronger." Wang Baomin held her in his arms and coaxed her gently.
"I don't have a mother anymore!" Zhou Tian cried out in anguish.
Jiang Huan, Tao Ying, and Xia Wenjing arrived at roughly the same time.
That's what I saw.
Xia Wenjing opened his mouth, unsure how to persuade Zhou Tian to write a letter of forgiveness.
Although I really wanted to give Xia Tian a good beating, I couldn't let him go to jail.
Then Xia Tian's life would be pretty much ruined.
In recent years, both the old man and the old woman of the Xia family have passed away.
Xia Wenjing and Xia Wentao are simply not capable of supporting the entire Xia family.
The Xia family, especially, has been truly disappointing for three generations.
Therefore, the Xia family is already showing signs of falling out of the upper echelons of society.
Resources were limited to a certain amount, and the Zhou family hadn't even gotten their share of the pie yet.
Such a big problem caused in the summer.
How could Xia Wenjing not be angry?
Although the Zhou family appears to have fallen, their trump cards and connections are still intact.
That core piece of the cake isn't something you can just divide up as you please.
I was originally thinking that if I could win Zhou Tian's heart this summer, I might be able to get the last piece of the Zhou family's cake.
Who knew that this bastard would actually beat Zhou Tian's mother to death.
Now, forget about dividing the cake; it would be a miracle if we could even get summer out of the water.
“Zhou Tian, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Your mother already had cancer, but you still have to live. As long as you can issue a letter of forgiveness, I am willing to try my best to meet all your requests.” Xia Wenjing really didn’t want to hear Zhou Tian’s crying.
I don't know why this little girl has such a loud voice, and why her voice is so long-lasting and penetrating.
"Commander Xia is still so self-righteous." Zhou Tian looked at Xia Wenjing angrily, and before she could speak, Tao Ying spoke first.
His voice had a sarcastic tone, and his eyes were full of disdain.
I never expected that Xia Wenjing would only grow older but not lose his sense of shame.
How could anyone say that, especially at a time like this?
Tao Ying thought to herself that Xia Wenjing was lucky; Xia Tian was taken away by the police.
Otherwise, given what the father and son did today, it would be unreasonable for Zhou Tian not to stab them to death.
"Tao Ying, why are you everywhere? You're a jinx, nothing good ever comes from running into you." Xia Wenjing instantly broke down.
"Xia Wenjing, apologize to my wife." Before Tao Ying could speak, Jiang Huan had already punched her.
"Jiang Huan, can you please empty your brain? For an old woman, you'd go to such lengths with someone you've known for years..."
"Fuck your mother." Before Xia Wenjing could finish speaking, Jiang Huan had already started punching him.
Jiang Huan cannot tolerate anyone slandering Tao Ying.
Xia Wenjing had long neglected his exercise routine, so he was no match for Jiang Huan, who trained like crazy every day.
Everything happened in an instant, less than half a minute later, and Xia Wenjing was defeated by Jiang Huan.
"You've gone too far." Xia Wenjing's once meticulously styled slicked-back hair was now completely covered in dirt.
It looks both rustic and sloppy.
To the uninformed, it seemed as if he were a lonely old man angrily rebuking those who had bullied him.
"Who's going too far? Whether Xia Wenjing asking you to leave is right or wrong is for the police to decide. But if you want to bully Tiantian, you'll have to see if I agree." Jiang Huan looked at Xia Wenjing expressionlessly.
"Jiang Huan, why do you have family members everywhere? What does this have to do with you? Zhou Tian is the person Xia Tian likes..." Xia Wenjing tried to downplay the matter.
If Zhou Tian and Xia Tian are a couple, then today's events can be defined as a missed opportunity that caused harm.
He's pulling strings himself, and he might even be released on bail this summer?
"Shut up! What do you mean, Zhou Tian is the person your Xia Tian likes? What? Are you planning to forcibly take a woman from the common people? Zhou Tian is my Bao Min's girlfriend, she's my future daughter-in-law!" Tao Ying angrily pointed at Xia Wenjing and cursed.
Tao Ying is truly not afraid of anything. She wasn't afraid of Xia Wenjing a few years ago, and she's still not afraid now.
"Your future daughter-in-law?" Xia Wenjing was instantly stunned.
"Sweetie, Mom will definitely get to the bottom of this for you." Tao Ying walked over and hugged Zhou Tian affectionately.
"Auntie!" Zhou Tian threw herself into Tao Ying's arms and cried loudly.
"Don't cry, okay? You'll cry until your voice is hoarse."
"Jiang Huan, what's wrong with you guys?" Xia Wenjing was starting to lose her composure.
"Daughter-in-law, don't cry yet. Let's make preparations for your mother's funeral first." Jiang Huan couldn't quite remember Zhou Tian's name.
Tao Ying's lips twitched slightly, thinking to herself that this man really dared to yell.
Wang Baomin also felt very uncomfortable when he heard that "daughter-in-law".
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Zhou Tian wiped away her tears and looked at Xia Wenjing gratefully.
"Xia Wenjing, are you still going to stand here and disgust people?" Tao Ying was no longer afraid of offending Xia Wenjing.
Xia Wenjing was furious and left in the end.
