He has two phones. One is several years old and has a cracked screen, but he can't bear to replace it. The other is an iPhone 15 that Li Xiaowei said she wanted to get a new phone a few days ago. As for the old phone that he had discarded, he took it because it looked pretty new and still worked, and used it as his main phone. He used his own phone, which he had used for several years, as a backup phone.
Xu Tiansheng looked at the caller ID, paused for a moment, then glanced at the live stream, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.
He glanced at the live stream and confirmed that the streamer was right.
[It must have been his fiancée's call.]
[99.9% chance, are they really here to ask for money?]
"Hello, Xiaowei." Xu Tiansheng wasn't as happy as he usually was when he received a call, but he hid his emotions so that the person on the other end of the line wouldn't notice anything amiss.
"Honey, I'm shopping and I saw a wedding dress that I really like. It's so beautiful! Renting a wedding dress means so many people have worn it, it's not clean, and it doesn't have any sentimental value. So I'm thinking of buying one. What do you think?"
A sweet and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Tiansheng's hand holding the phone trembled, and his expression tensed.
What she said was exactly the same as what the anchor said.
"Honey? Honey, are you listening?" Li Xiaowei called out a few times when there was no response on the other end of the phone.
Normally, Xu Tiansheng would agree to her request without hesitation, so why was he unresponsive this time?
"I'm listening. How much do you want?" Xu Tiansheng asked, snapping out of his daze.
"It will probably cost around five thousand." Hearing Xu Tiansheng's question, Li Xiaowei smiled and replied.
Once Xu Tiansheng asks how much money he wants, it means the money is secured.
She originally wanted to keep the baby, after all, she had miscarried so many times, and whether she could conceive again was uncertain. Keeping the child would ensure someone would care for her in her old age, but...
The baby came more than a month early, and Zhang Zhi's fierce wife has already become suspicious of the two of them. If the baby is really born, given how much Xu Tiansheng likes her, she has a way to make him acknowledge the child. The only concern is that when the truth comes out, Zhang Zhi's wife will find that the timing of her pregnancy doesn't match up and will suspect the baby.
Zhang Zhi's fierce wife is a factory worker with little education and no formal education. She's as shrewish as a tigress. If she finds out about this, she'll tear him apart.
This child is evidence of her having that kind of thing with Zhang Zhi, so she can't keep it.
She had considered not asking Xu Tiansheng for money, but that bastard Zhang Zhi kept crying poverty and saying he had no money. With her belly getting bigger and bigger, she had no choice but to hurry up and make this call to Xu Tiansheng.
"The boss just happened to be coming to inspect the construction site this afternoon, and the foreman gave us two hours off. How about I go with you to pick out a wedding dress?" Xu Tiansheng's eyes were red, and his throat was bitter, but he forced himself to hold it in.
Li Xiaowei can lie, but the background noise coming from her side can't lie—there's the sound of a wheelchair being pushed, a nurse calling out to a patient, and announcements calling out patient names…
Although subtle, it's not undetectable.
Li Xiaowei must have thought he was a fool to act so recklessly, not even bothering to find a quiet place to call him.
The young man's eyes were red; it seemed the girl was currently in the hospital with his best friend.
[Recycling broken, secondhand handsome guys.]
[It's obvious this viewer is a hopeless romantic; the other person asked for 5,000 right off the bat, and must have asked him for money quite a bit before.]
"What? You're going to come with me to pick out a wedding dress? No, no need, darling, I'm quite far from you, only two hours away. It's too rushed for you to come back and forth in this blazing sun. I can't bear to see you go through all that trouble. What if you get sunburned? I'd be heartbroken!"
"Just transfer five thousand to me directly, and I'll take care of the rest myself. You'll be able to see it when I buy this wedding dress tonight."
When Li Xiaowei heard that Xu Tiansheng was coming to keep her company, her voice rose several octaves, as if she was afraid he would actually come.
Li Xiaowei's voice was so loud that passing patients and nurses couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Even Zhang Zhi, who had his hands in his pockets, looked at her suspiciously, wondering what Xu Tiansheng had said to her that made her react so strongly.
Xu Tiansheng is a simpleton who is easy to fool. As long as Li Xiaowei asks, she can have whatever she wants. Why is it so difficult for her to ask for five thousand this time?
It's so long-winded and annoying.
"Xiaowei, don't you have anything you want to say to me?" Xu Tiansheng took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice.
"Honey? What's wrong? You're acting strange today. I already said what I wanted to say to you just now," Li Xiaowei on the other end of the phone noticed and couldn't help but ask.
"You're not shopping, you're with Zhang Zhi now, right?" Xu Tiansheng asked, his voice trembling.
At the mention of Zhang Zhi, Li Xiaowei's heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding the phone trembled.
How did he know!
I also know she's with Zhang Zhi!
No, that's impossible.
Xu Tiansheng's life revolves around her, except for work and his old friend Zhang Zhi. He has no other friends, his parents live in the countryside, and his coworkers don't know he's getting married or has a fiancée. They don't plan to invite anyone to the wedding; they just want to have a simple meal with relatives from both sides.
There's no way anyone in the hospital would know him!
She knew it must be Zhang Zhi's fierce wife who found Xu Tiansheng and whispered something in his ear!
"Honey, what are you saying? How could I be with Zhang Zhi? Are you confused? Did you not sleep well last night? Or... do you not want to give me the five thousand yuan to buy a wedding dress, so you're deliberately trying to frame me and Zhang Zhi?" Li Xiaowei's words were filled with anger as she spoke the last sentence, angry because Xu Tiansheng suspected her.
"If you don't want to give me the money, you can just say you won't. Why are you slandering me? I'm innocent, I even gave you my virginity, how could you... how could you... sob sob sob." Li Xiaowei cried aggrievedly on the other end of the phone.
