Chapter 220
Jian Li felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She had never imagined that she would experience such a change since her rebirth.
Wang Mengmei's voice was choked with sobs, and Jian Li seemed to have lost her soul.
If the chance of rebirth is brought by her father's accident, how will she face such a life?
"Mom, I'm going back now."
Wang Mengmei was also frightened, but when she heard that her daughter was coming back, she gradually regained her senses.
“…Don’t drive.”
Her husband is still unknown whether he is alive or dead, and she can no longer bear any changes.
Jian Li: “Okay.”
…
Tao Xingjian took Jian Li back to Taocheng. Along the way, Jian Li refused to close her eyes, and she stared at the road ahead.
Tao Xingjian didn't say anything, and Jian Li was very grateful for his silence.
At this time, she would not listen to anything anyone said to her.
Tao Xingjian's off-road vehicle performed at its maximum capacity. In five hours, Tao Xingjian only stopped on the road for ten minutes to refuel.
When they were almost in Taocheng, Jian Li called Wang Mengmei to find out where the hospital was.
"Tao Xingjian, I remember Cheng Yu said that you have an aunt who works in a hospital in the capital?"
Prosecutor Tao: "I called when I was refueling just now. I can be transferred to another hospital at any time."
When they arrived at the hospital, Tao Xingjian sat in the driver's seat and pulled Jian Li, who was about to get out of the car.
"Whatever happens, remember to tell me."
Jian Li nodded.
"thank you."
Jian Li ran to the hospital building. The closer she got to the lighted operating room, the more she hesitated to move. She was afraid that when she got there, she would see her mother's tear-swollen eyes and a piece of white cloth.
"…Mom?"
Wang Mengmei's eyes were red and she hugged her daughter when she saw her daughter.
Her mother's embrace gave Jian Li some courage, and she finally asked, "How is Dad now?"
Wang Mengmei pulled her to sit down: "She's still in surgery... The doctor said she was hit by someone maliciously, and we don't know what to do yet."
Jian Li just felt the back of her head getting cold.
"Intentional? Who did it?"
Wang Mengmei said bitterly, "I don't know. Regarding what happened last night, I came this morning but didn't see anyone. They said he had been pushed into surgery."
As they were talking, they heard the sound of machine alarms coming from inside. Doctors and nurses came and went. Wang Mengmei and Jian Li could no longer sit still, so they linked arms and stared at what was going on inside.
Jian Li prayed in her heart. At this moment, making money, getting rich, and realizing dreams were no longer important.
She wants her dad back.
However, it seemed that God did not hear her prayers.
The doctor pushed the patient out and said the words that Jian Li least wanted to hear.
“We did our best.”
Wang Mengmei held her daughter tightly, but her hands lost their strength and she fell to the ground. Jian Li's eyes went dark. Although she was holding her mother, she seemed to be pulled out of her body.
I was floating in the air, sneering at her on the ground.
You didn't do well enough, you didn't do enough, you shouldn't change this, you... shouldn't come back.
In the chaos, Jian Li was picked up by a pair of hands.
Tao Xingjian's voice was particularly cold: "Jian Li, breathe."
Jane Li thought, Oh, yes, you need to breathe.
The air entered the nasal cavity again, and the consciousness floating in the air returned to the body.
Only then did Jian Li burst into tears.
until--
"Wife, Xiaoli?"
Wang Mengmei looked at the person who was speaking with tears in her eyes.
Jian Feng was dressed brightly and had his handbag tucked under his arm.
"What happened to you?"
Jian Feng ran over nervously and tried to support Wang Mengmei.
Jian Li was in Tao Xingjian's arms, her emotions still not coming to her senses for a while, but when she looked at her father in front of her, she made a funny "ga" sound.
Jian Feng looked at the white cloth beside him with horror: "You...did you think it was me inside?"
Wang Mengmei was already crying and slapping him a few times: "Your phone is just a decoration, right?!"
Jian Feng was beaten so hard that he held his head, but he didn't dare to run.
"Honey, calm down."
He went there to drink last night, and a group of people who were drinking with him said that there was a night market stall that served good food, so a group of people were drinking on the pedestrian street.
As they were drinking, a motorcycle suddenly appeared from nowhere and hit people.
Jian Feng was chased and ran everywhere. Not only his shoes but also his purse were lost.
The man hit seven or eight people, then took off his motorcycle helmet and tried to commit suicide with a knife. Jian Feng mustered up the courage to throw a chair at him to knock his knife off, and the people around him also gathered around to help hold the man down.
"Honey, what I said is true. I was called by the police and the whole night was a mess. I wanted to call you, but then I realized my phone was gone. I finally got through and they said he was in the hospital, so I came to get it...Xiao Li, please help Dad."
The scene was so chaotic that the police locked up everyone and verified the issues one by one.
Jian Feng only figured it out this morning and was released. After he was released, he discovered that his cell phone was missing. He had a lot of business transactions on that phone, so he was in a hurry to look for it.
Who would have thought that the hospital made a mistake in calling and actually called his wife!
Even my daughter is back!
Jian Li scoffed at her father's request for mercy. If her mother hadn't beaten her so harshly, she would have wanted to fight him too.
"Do you know how I got here those few hours ago?"
Jian Li didn't dare to think about what she would do if this came true.
Even at a certain moment just now, she was begging God, wishing she would not have everything now and return to the situation in her previous life.
Jian Feng knew he was in the wrong, and he didn't dare to say a word after being beaten by Wang Mengmei for more than ten minutes.
"Honey, calm down. Does your hand hurt?"
Wang Mengmei: “It doesn’t hurt!”
Jian Feng frowned and said, "Then you keep fighting."
Wang Mengmei turned her face away: "I get annoyed just by seeing you!"
Jian Feng's face was red from being beaten, and he knew in his heart that his wife was lying.
Although it was inappropriate, he felt happy.
After being in the business world for a long time, everyone has joked about whether their wives and children would cry or not if they died.
Several of them said they couldn’t cry.
"If my wife hears that I'm dead, she'll probably be so happy that she'll be setting off fireworks." The person who said this had a son he kept outside and he always came home to quarrel with her.
"I watch my naughty boy do his homework all day long. If he knew I was gone and no one was watching him do his homework, he would be so happy."
Middle-aged couples each have their own predicaments.
When Jian Feng saw Wang Mengmei like this, he felt distressed and a little happy, so he went over and held her hand.
Wang Mengmei pushed her away, but he tried to pull her back.
"The child is here, and Xiao Tao is here too."
Wang Mengmei finally calmed down: "Xiao Tao, I'm kidding you. You are so busy at work, and yet you still send Jian Li back. I really trouble you."
Tao Xingjian: "It's okay, Auntie. I should do it."
Jian Feng carefully held his wife's hand and said, "We are the survivors. Let's go have a good meal to relieve our shock. It's not easy for our daughter to come back."
Wang Mengmei didn't want to eat, but Jian Feng pulled her back: "I promise, I will never go out drinking again."
Wang Mengmei rolled her eyes and said, "If you can hold back from going out for a month, you're capable."
The doctor saw the family's chattering. The young nurse who knew the inside story came over to explain the situation to the doctor. The doctor shook his head and asked someone to send the deceased patient to the morgue.
Some were happy, some were worried. After a while, another family arrived and heart-wrenching cries were heard in the hospital corridor.
Jian Li: "...Let's go."
She never wanted to come to the hospital again.
So is Wang Mengmei.
Jian Feng was busy flattering his wife and daughter, and made a lot of wishes.
Tao Xingjian also wanted to show his courtesy, but he just couldn't find the time.
Wang Mengmei said there was no need to eat anywhere else, so just go to Changqing Restaurant.
"Xiao Li hasn't been there for a long time. I'll cook something for her."
After her daughter finally came home, Wang Mengmei was always thinking about improving her daughter's diet.
Everyone was terrified that day.
Inspector Tao drove over, and Jian Feng's own car was still detained at the Transportation Bureau, so the whole family got into Inspector Tao's car.
Jian Li deliberately sat in the back. Jian Feng opened the passenger seat, paused slightly, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Tao, you haven't been to the restaurant at the Provincial Laboratory yet, right? Cheng Yu always came there back then."
Speaking of Cheng Yu, Tao Xingjian also expressed his gratitude: "Those years were all thanks to Auntie and Jian Li."
Jian Feng: "It's a small matter, but I have to ask you, don't you and Cheng Yu have the same surname?"
Tao Xingjian straightened his back unconsciously: "I take my mother's surname, and Yu Yu takes my father's surname."
Jian Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? The boy in your family takes your mother's surname, and the girl takes your father's, right?"
Tao Xingjian: "...No, the eldest son takes my mother's surname, and the second son takes my father's surname."
Jian Li felt the atmosphere was awkward in the back and interrupted, "Dad, why do you always ask about other people's family affairs? I'm almost starving."
Facing his daughter, Jian Feng immediately changed his expression: "Right away, right away, we're almost there. Xiao Tao, turn ahead."
Tao Xingjian's car stopped and Jian Li got out, a little surprised.
"Mom, is this the Evergreen Restaurant?"
I saw that the storefront, which originally had only two stories, had now been rebuilt and turned into a five-story building.
Outside the building are the words "Evergreen Hotel" written in golden splendor. The building is an imitation of an antique, with navy blue cladding and protruding eaves all over the exterior.
Wang Mengmei smiled and said, "The previous decoration was too old, so it was rebuilt in the first half of this year. Do you think it looks good?"
Jian Li swallowed her saliva.
The original houses were always shabby on the outside and looked ordinary, but it cannot be said that they have changed. It can only be said that apart from the name, there is no other similarity.
Wang Mengmei pointed to a small shop downstairs that was obviously decorated differently and said, "This place still sells malatang, and they still have all the same varieties as before."
Although it was a bit awkward to sell things to students in this prime location, Wang Mengmei was reluctant to close the shop when she thought of her daughter's high school years, so she decided to keep it open.
All the shops on the street are raising their prices except Wang Mengmei's Malatang, which is raising its prices along with other businesses because it does not want to take away other people's business.
The prices of other categories remain the same as before.
Wang Mengmei walked into the shop and soon took out two big fried chicken legs.
"Eat it. I never had enough before. Let's see if it still tastes the same as before."
Jian Li took a bite. She was a picky eater. Sometimes when Wang Mengmei cooked at home instead of using the pot in the store, she felt the taste was not right. Therefore, she often complained that the fried chicken legs were not tasty enough.
now--
“Delicious! This is it!”
Jian Li held the fried chicken leg in her hands, looking as happy as a little monkey.
Tao Xingjian saw that there was a layer of crumbs on her mouth and wanted to reach out, but he felt Jian Feng's ambiguous gaze.
He pressed his hand down.
Jian Feng snorted coldly.
"Wife, can you ask Xiaoli to go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat?"
