After examining Yao Tongjia's body, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright, it's alright. Just be careful about what you eat. At first, you can only drink rice porridge!"
He was in a coma for half a month, and his life was sustained by intravenous drips. His stomach hadn't been working for a long time, so he definitely needed to eat something light at first.
As they were talking, Yao Yanxin was helped in by Ruan Shengpeng. When she saw that Yao Tongjia was awake, Yao Yanxin rushed over and hugged her: "You're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I wish I had fallen into a coma like you!"
Yao Tongjia raised her weak hand and patted her mother's shoulder: "I'm awake, don't worry!"
Yao Yanxin got up, and Yao Tongjia then saw Ruan Shengpeng, who looked very haggard, with sunken eyes and an unshaven beard: "Dad, what happened to you?"
Ruan Shengpeng forced a smile that was more like a grimace: "It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake. I'll handle the rest!"
"What happened? The attack on me? Who sent them?" Yao Tongjia was now clear-headed and remembered what had happened before.
"Is Qin Sang alright?" Yao Tongjia asked worriedly when she saw that Qin Sang was not around.
"She's fine. I told her to go back and rest. She's been here watching over you!" Yao Yanxin seemed to be avoiding the topic, which made Yao Tongjia feel strange.
"Did anything else happen? Something feels off."
As Ruan Shengpeng was looking for a seat, Xiao Gengwu stood up and said, "Uncle, please sit here. I'll go back and wash up!"
Ruan Shengpeng walked over to get a stool, but then smelled an unpleasant odor. He quickly tossed the keys over and said, "Take my car back. Aren't you afraid of bothering Tongtong with that smell on you? Hurry up and go!"
Before, Xiao Gengwu seemed to be dying. He wouldn't move no matter who called him. It's hard to believe that he's almost become a "pickled man".
Xiao Gengwu took the keys and stood a little further away from Yao Tongjia: "I'll go back and wash up. You rest first, and I'll come back later!"
Seeing his exhausted face, Yao Tongjia said, "Come back tomorrow. I have other people here. Get some rest before you come!"
Ruan Shengpeng also noticed Xiao Gengwu's exhaustion: "Can you still drive? Or should I have someone take you home? Don't come over after you wash up. Your Aunt Yao and I have something to do here. Come over tomorrow!"
Xiao Gengwu knew his body had reached its limit: "Then I'll come tomorrow. Thank you for arranging someone to take me; I'm afraid I'll fall asleep!"
Yao Tongxu walked over and said, "Sister, I'm going back now. I'll come back to keep you company tonight!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "You should go and rest too, don't rush over!"
After they all left, Yao Tongjia continued the previous topic: "What happened? Dad, why are you staying here?"
Ruan Shengpeng sighed: "Your grandpa and grandma live in the next room!"
Yao Tongjia thought there was something wrong with her ears: "My grandparents?"
"Yes!"
"What does their hospitalization have to do with me?"
"There's some connection, but you could also say there's no connection at all!"
Yao Tongjia: "..." Does it exist or not?
"That night, your grandfather called, hoping you would visit Ruan Tian in the detention center, right?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "He said he owed someone a favor and he agreed to their request. I thought it would be hard to repay a favor, and I didn't want to put you in a difficult position later, so I agreed!"
“That day, your grandma went to make a scene with your grandpa, demanding that he bring Ruan Tian out, saying that Ruan Tian was her support.”
"Those people were brought here because Grandma Ruan informed on me?" Yao Tongjia still felt a little scared when she thought about the danger of that night!
"Carrying Old Mrs. Ruan to find your grandfather was actually a spy. She used the excuse of helping Ruan Tian to carry your grandmother into the nursing home."
“Someone just called your grandfather, and he didn’t expect it, so he called you right after he finished the call.” Ruan Shengpeng said, glancing cautiously at Yao Tongjia.
“When your grandfather heard from his old friend that you hadn’t visited Ruan Tian, he assumed you hadn’t gone. When he called you, Xiao Gengwu answered the phone. He rushed out to look for you and didn’t talk to the old man much.”
"The old man only heard about your accident on the third day. He thought about the situation and knew where things went wrong. After telling me what happened, he fell ill!"
"Your grandmother, Old Madam Ruan, is still lying in the next ward. She was arrested and interrogated, and she fell ill in the interrogation room. Now she can't speak at all!"
"Speechless now? Did Ruan Tian turn the tables on her?"
Ruan Shengpeng looked at his daughter in surprise: "How did you know?"
"It's not hard to guess. Her beloved granddaughter, who she cherished with all her heart, would be the one to suffer the most!" The old lady Ruan's favorite daughter has never recognized her.
Ruan Tian was arguably her favorite person, and now she was betraying her and blaming everything on her. It would be strange if she wasn't disgusted!
Ruan Shengpeng laughed and patted his daughter's head: "When you first woke up, don't think too much, or your brain will go on strike again. You have no idea how hard your mother has been working lately!"
Yao Tongjia knew Yao Yanxin's personality: "Mom, why don't you rest in the next bed? I'm fine now!"
"I'm not sleepy now, I'm just glad to see you awake! I can keep an eye on things for now, why don't you go next door and check on the old man?"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "My older brother and the others are all here, one more won't make a difference. Tongtong, several of your cousins were serving in the army before, but two of them have come back this time. They should come to see you!"
How many? Two are coming back? Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "How many cousins do I actually have?"
"Four!" Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ruan Shengpeng called out, "Come in!"
Yao Tongjia looked at the newcomer, a boy with a buzz cut, very dark-skinned, thin, and tall, with an upright face, who would make people feel good at first glance.
He walked in, flashing a bright white smile: "You're my cousin, Tongjia?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "What's your name?"
The boy grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and looked very honest: "I am your second cousin, Ruan Zhanchi. I am now the deputy battalion commander and I am 23 years old this year."
Yao Tongjia chuckled: "You're not on a blind date, why go into so much detail? Your name is Zhan Chi, meaning 'spread your wings and fly high.' Do you think anyone is named Zhan Gao or Zhan Fei?"
"Cousin, you're amazing! The brother behind me is Zhan Gao, Zhan Fei."
Now it was Yao Tongjia's turn to be surprised: "I was just saying it casually, who knew it was really true?!!"
Just then, a man carrying large and small bags walked in from behind, panting: "Second Brother, why are you running so fast? You ran off without taking anything!"
Actually, when he was about to pay, his second brother ran away. This second brother has always been so mischievous since he was a child. He's never spent a penny, and he always disappears when it's time to pay.
