Chapter 328 Rejection
Yang Xue probably completely let herself go, regardless of whether her biological mother would retaliate against her. Anyway, she added a lot of new content to the expanded manuscript, including her mother's love affairs, her experiences in the psychiatric hospital, and she also witnessed the death of a woman in the hospital.
"I was thirteen years old that year and I entered a psychiatric hospital for treatment for the first time. I saw a girl in her early twenties being injected with an overdose of palliative drugs. Her heart could not bear such a heavy load. Her hands and feet were straight and unable to bend. She was breathing with big mouths on her back, but she soon came to death. That scene gave me a huge impact. I tried desperately to escape there, but I couldn't escape."
Tong Tong easily thought of Teacher Meng's death. After all, Sun Jixiang also said the same thing. No matter whenever he thinks of Teacher Meng, he can't calm down. However, he remembered what Hao Mengyuan said. He couldn't do it so easily and couldn't beat his uncle easily. He had to calm down.
He went to the bathroom to wash his face, endured the pain, read it word by word, and gradually found something was wrong. He felt that this was made up. He sent this paragraph to Hao Mengyuan and asked her to see if there was anything abnormal. Hao Mengyuan quickly replied: "Is this made up?"
"I feel this way, so let's help you."
"I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital at the age of thirteen? What kind of calming drugs do young children know? If they are really frightened, they should be unable to remember anything. They will try their best to blur their memories, rather than remembering the details exactly - such as in their early twenties, calming drugs, hearts cannot bear, etc. Only when writing novels can they write so rigorously!"
Tong Tong secretly admired her and said, "I also think she wrote too rigorously and remembered every detail very clearly... When you say this, my feeling will be even stronger."
"She... there may be some mental problems, and the childhood experiences may be true. However, I always feel that she has hidden something, or that she wants to bring us into a trap... In short, she must carefully distinguish what she said."
Tong Tong thanked Hao Mengyuan, and Hao Mengyuan said, "When encountering a problem, I am honored to ask me for help as soon as possible."
Tong Tong himself did not realize that he almost did not hesitate to look for Hao Mengyuan. He was frightened by his unconscious behavior and hurriedly made a remedy: "You are a psychologist! Who am I not looking for you? I won't disturb you anymore, please concentrate on taking the doctoral exam!"
"Well, I'm very happy to help you. If you have any questions, please ask me and chat back!"
Tong Tong felt that he had to restrain himself. He was too dependent on Hao Mengyuan. If this continues, who knows what would happen?
He called Li Xiao and told Li Xiao his questions. Finally, he said, "Although it is not good to have such suspicion, I really doubt that she was sent by Su Zilong to play with me?"
"Not it? What's the relationship between her and Su Zilong?"
"She is Tian Yimei's illegitimate daughter, and Tian Yimei is Su Zilong's right-hand man. They have known each other for at least twenty years. What if this child is Su Zilong's?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'll ask indirectly."
"Well, by the way, tell her that although 'Tipam' is a popular reading material, it also pursues literary nature. Even the stories are made up, it doesn't matter, but don't make them too outrageously, and don't mix all the bloody elements together."
To put it so bluntly, it indirectly denied Li Xiao's appreciation ability. After all, she thought Yang Xue was well written, so she recommended the manuscript to Tong Tong. Tong Tong added: "She is indeed well written, but you can let her see other works of "Thimang". Her style doesn't match "Thimang"."
"Okay... I thought you could give her a merciful opportunity to affirm herself and feel a little fulfillment."
Li Xiao seemed to have moved to Yang Xue, and she sympathized with the girl very much. Logically, she had interviewed so many people and experienced enough stories. She should be more objective and calm. Tong Tong was puzzled. Perhaps it was Yang Xue's experience that touched her? It aroused her strong desire to protect her?
This is not a good phenomenon, but Li Xiao is a girl after all, and Tong Tong is not willing to say it too firmly. He didn't plan to reply, but after thinking about it, he replied to her: "I'm very happy to recommend her article to me. But... I can inquire about other platforms for you."
"Thank you."
Without any emoji, only this cold sentence, Tong Tong fully realized Li Xiao's disappointment and dissatisfaction. She was a tempered reporter, and she might have made certain promises to Yang Xue - for example, she was very familiar with the manager of "Thimang" and published this article was not a problem. She would even use this to encourage the little girl and make her ignite hope for life... Tong Tong shook her head and said to herself - he did the right thing, "Thimang" is not a charity, and he would not accept manuscripts that do not meet his requirements.
It was class in the afternoon, and not many people came to the printing shop. Tong Tong took the time to go to the hospital. Since his adoptive father left, he also hoped that his grandfather would leave earlier. This was not because he was vicious, but because he really couldn't bear to let the old man suffer any more.
Su Changhe could hardly eat anything, and he was critically ill every day. The day before yesterday, his blood oxygen dropped to zero, and his heart rate stopped, but he was rescued every time. He fell asleep longer and his liver and encephalopathy became more and more serious. He often said nonsense that people couldn't understand. He didn't endure the pain and cried out from time to time. Therefore, Tong Tong looked at him and was a little glad that his adoptive father left first. If he didn't leave until this time, life would be worse than death.
Because his life has come to an end, his funeral has been handled almost well, and the people around him have also become neglected. Although Su Zilong is a bastard, he is not completely inhumane. His father has long made a will, giving him all the deposits, and giving him two big houses in the city. Although he is sure to win the inheritance, Su Zilong still comes to the hospital to visit his father every day. I don’t know whether he is sincere or superficial, at least others are here, but it gives people a feeling that this son is not in vain.
Su Zilong usually comes to see it in the morning, and Tong Tong tries to stagger the time with him. He is worried that he can't control his emotions and really breaks his uncle's legs. But this time Su Zilong is still there and is chatting with the nurse. When the two saw Tong Tong, they became nervous.
"What do you think of me? Do I look that scary?"
Tong Tong ignored them, put down what was in his hand, and greeted his grandfather. Su Changhe's lips were a little dry, and Tong Tong immediately took a cotton swab and dipped it in water for him. The nurse was afraid that Tong Tong would blame him, so he defended: "I did it just now."
"Just? When was it just now? An hour ago?"
The nurse was embarrassed and dared not speak anymore.
Su Changhe frowned and looked uncomfortable. But he had no strength and could not express it clearly. Tong Tong asked patiently, and finally bent down and immediately became furious: "The urine bag is about to fall halfway through, it is almost full, and no one falls down?"
The nurse came over slowly, muttered "Why is it full again?" and replaced the urine bag. He was slow and he was not in a hurry at all. Just a few days ago, he was not like this. Perhaps Su Changhe was not long before, so he started to fool him casually.
Tong Tong was furious, drank the nurse and said, "If you don't want to do it, you will leave now! You are so irresponsible, I will still complain to your company!"
The nurse panicked and continued to defend herself: "The urine bag was replaced just now, but who expected it would be full again so soon?"
"Who expected? Isn't your duty to care for the patient? Shouldn't you be the first to discover the patient when he is uncomfortable? I've had enough of you, and you can pack up your things and leave now. As for your salary, I'll pay it to you after your company punishes it."
In the impression of the nurse, Tong Tong has always been kind, and even if there is any problem, he will communicate calmly. Unexpectedly, such a kind person would chase him away in a moment.
The nurse was at a loss and could only turn his attention to Su Zilong for help. Su Zilong said: "This is the nurse I hired by my family. When is it an outsider's turn to make the decision? Besides, if there is a little problem, dismiss the other party? There is no need to be so harsh, right?"
"Truthless? He dares to be so negligent to the old man in front of your biological son. What about behind the scenes? Do you dare to adjust surveillance videos?"
Su Zilong was angry and embarrassed: "I said it, this is my family's business and it has nothing to do with you, and you can't make the decision!"
"No matter which family your family is, my household registration is with my grandfather's." Tong Tong said calmly: "I am his guardian, and I have the right to make decisions."
Su Zilong's face turned red and left a sentence "I won't let you, a little boy, succeed." Then he walked out of the room cursing. The nurse was worried about being scolded by Tong Tong again, so he hurriedly followed Su Zilong and hurriedly slipped away.
After sending both of them, Tong Tong finally vented a little. Su Changhe looked at him gratefully, as if saying - Good boy, thank you.
"This is Su Zilong, who you spoiled for the rest of your life. You are so uncomfortable. He is still discussing with others whether the honey from Changbai Mountain is good or not." Tong Tong became more and more angry as he spoke. He took out a thermos from his bag and said, "My mother squeezed peanut and walnut delicacy in the morning, let me bring it here earlier. Do you drink it now?"
Su Changhe nodded slightly.
In fact, it was difficult for him to swallow. Tong Tong was afraid of choking him, so he almost sent it to his mouth drop by drop. Tong Tong was not in a hurry and muttered: "I will contact a new nurse immediately to find someone with a stronger sense of responsibility."
Su Changhe closed his eyes exhaustedly and said, "Until now, you have never mentioned the inheritance to me..."
"Oh, will you give it to me?" Tong Tong continued to drip walnut into his mouth and said, "You have spent a lot of money on treating my adoptive father. Besides, I have enough inheritance to inherit, and I may not be able to appreciate yours."
"Truthful?"
"...If you have to give it to me and beg me to accept it, I will not ignore it."
