Chapter 416 Where are you taking him?
"Walk?"
Li Jing was confused: "Auntie, where are you taking him?"
She and Zhang Shuai immediately looked at Tian Xin at the same time.
Tian Xin was also shocked, but her shock was different. She didn't explode immediately like Li Jing did.
She slowly stood up, looked at Zhou Ruilian's red and swollen eyes, and asked softly, "Are we leaving now?"
Zhang Shuai and Li Jing were stunned and looked at each other: Did she know that Lin Zhou was leaving?
Before Zhou Ruilian could answer, Lin Zhenhua spoke up, "Girl, I forgot to tell you. After you left that day, the doctors held a joint consultation and examined Lin Zhou..."
"What happened?" Li Jing asked impatiently, "Did he wake up?"
Zhang Shuai also looked at him expectantly.
Li Jing's parents glared at their daughter and said, "Sit down and don't talk."
"Oh." Li Jing curled her lips and sat down again.
Lin Zhenhua laughed dryly and said, "It is said that there is a possibility of waking up, but..."
"Really? He can really wake up?"
Li Jing stood up and interrupted again. After she finished speaking, she said to Tian Xin with excitement: "Did you hear that? Uncle said Lin Zhou can wake up."
Li Jianye was very dissatisfied with her behavior and immediately shouted at her: "Can you please sit down and stop making such a fuss and let your uncle finish what he is saying?"
His voice was loud, and his face was filled with a rare look of anger. Li Jing sat down as soon as she finished shouting, but she glanced at Zhang Shuai with a wronged look.
Zhang Shuai was inexplicably stabbed in the heart by this look, and it hurt so much.
But he could not say or do anything, so he could only give Li Jing a warm look and smile at her.
Li Jing was back to full health. Now, she stopped talking and turned to look at Tian Xin.
Tian Xin only said one sentence for a long time. When Lin Zhenhua said that Lin Zhou might wake up, the corners of her mouth moved.
But before she could ask, Lin Zhenhua said again. Before he finished speaking, what else?
So she asked, "But what?"
"However, there is no way to make him fully awake in China now. If he continues to stay here, there is little hope. But there is a technology abroad that can intervene in him. If the effect is good, the possibility of him waking up is very high, and there will be no sequelae." Lin Zhenhua said.
"That's a good thing, then."
When Li Jing's mother heard this, she quickly responded, "Since there is a way, let's try it. Lao Lin, and Rui Lian—"
She then said to the two of them, "If you need any help, just tell us. Don't be polite to us."
Zhou Ruilian nodded.
Tian Xin couldn't help herself and asked, "Then...how long will it take?"
How long? That is the decisive question.
Before asking this question, she had been struggling internally for three days.
Yes—she knew.
She knew Lin Zhou would wake up and that he had to go abroad for treatment.
That day at the ward door, she clearly heard the doctor explain Lin Zhenhua's condition: "If you go abroad and receive new technology intervention, the chance of waking up is greater than 50%. It's better to give it a try."
She was so happy that she wanted to ask the doctor about the details, but then she heard Lin Zhenhua say to the doctor: I hope this situation will be kept confidential and not let anyone else know.
Who is this other person? It's self-evident.
She pretended to know nothing and struggled with her thoughts at home for three days. Today she came to negotiate with Lin Zhenhua.
Yes – it’s a negotiation.
But she never expected that Lin Zhou would leave so quickly, without giving her any time or chance to turn things around.
When she asked this question just now, she had already made doubly preparations in her mind.
"It could be as short as six months or as long as three to five years," Lin Zhenhua said. "No one can tell exactly how long it will take. We can only go there and see the situation."
Three to five years?
That's not bad.
She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Zhou Ruilian, "Can I go and take care of him?"
“…”
No one expected her to ask that.
Everyone present was speechless in an instant, and no one spoke anymore.
She asked again: "Uncle, does the promise you made to me before still count?"
When asked this question, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Zhenhua.
Zhou Ruilian asked, "Promise what? What did you tell the child?"
"Auntie, you know," Tian Xin said, "Before the press conference exposing the Liang family, Uncle Lin promised me that after the event, he would agree to anything I asked."
Zhou Ruilian did know about this.
Lin and Zhou Zhenhua had told her the same thing. Considering the situation at the time, she felt that the three of them had a unified stance this time, so she agreed to Lin Zhenhua's proposal.
So later she made an appointment with Tian Xin to go to the ward, but she didn't know that Lin Zhenhua threatened Tian Xin with Xiaowan Village.
Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Girl, then tell me, what do you want?"
"I just wanted to..."
"Tian Xin——"
Zhang Shuai suddenly spoke.
He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he spoke, both Li Jing and Tian Xin were startled.
Tian Xin looked back and said, "Brother..."
"You have a younger brother and a mother at home. What will happen to them if you leave? Who will take care of them?"
Zhang Shuai stood up and walked over to her, his face showing rare calmness and heartache that could be seen at a glance.
"Lin Zhou has gone abroad and has plenty of people to take care of him. You're not the only one who needs one. But your family is different. You have to report to the Planning Bureau today. You've been delayed for so long, I'm afraid you'll be late. You can't be late on your first day at work. Let's go."
As soon as he said this, Tian Xin couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
But before he could say anything, Lin Zhenhua continued, "Yes, the young man is right. After all, you have family to take care of, not to mention you just got promoted. How can you just leave like that? Don't worry, Lin Zhou is there. There are special doctors and nurses, as well as your aunt. Don't worry about him."
"So, you don't intend to keep your promise?"
Tian Xin wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and looked at Lin Zhenhua: "If I hadn't come today, would Lin Zhou have left quietly? You didn't even think of notifying me, did you?"
"How could that be? We haven't finished talking yet..."
He was speaking when he suddenly fell silent.
Several people followed his gaze and saw Tian Xin take out a printed document from her bag and gently place it on the table.
Li Jing glanced at the document and read out the bold title on the first page: "Investment development direction and strategic cooperation of Gucheng real estate industry in the next ten years."
"Xin, this is——"
"As you can see, this is the plan for the ancient city's real estate industry."
Tian Xin picked up the document again and looked at Lin Zhenhua and Li Jianye. "Uncles, I've compiled it. It lists the areas of the ancient city that will be the focus of development between 2010 and 2020. I've clearly marked who will be in charge of each area, who will be responsible for resource planning, land prices, housing prices, and population distribution. If you find it useful, please fulfill your promise."
After saying that, she turned to face Zhou Ruilian again, her eyes softening again: "Auntie, from beginning to end, I only have one wish——"
"Girl..."
"Tian Xin——"
"Lin Zhou's last words before he passed out were for me to marry him. This is what I promised him. You may think I'm shameless or that I'm greedy for money. But I'm telling you today that this is my only request. This is my only request—"
She shouted loudly and her eyes became more determined.
After saying this, she pinched the document in the middle with both hands and pretended to tear it into pieces: "If you still don't agree, then I will tear it up. From now on, I will never appear in front of you again, and I will not disturb Lin Zhou's life. His future has nothing to do with me."
