He walked out of the door and deliberately walked in the opposite direction from where he came. Not long after, he came to the corridor outside the waiting room.
Outside, he saw a row of people walking or standing along the corridor.
Tian Xiaohai recognized them at a glance. These were Qiao Yuanshan's relatives and friends.
Tang Lingling's parents and her sister were also there, and even Jin Xiaobiao was standing aside waiting. There were several others he didn't recognize.
There was a well-dressed middle-aged woman who was crying and looking very sad. Tang Lingling's mother, Qiao Maixiang, hugged the middle-aged woman and kept comforting her.
One look revealed that this woman who was crying sadly was Principal Qiao's wife.
Tian Xiaohai puffed up his chest, walked over quickly, cleared his throat and said, "You should be Principal Qiao's wife! He is fine and will wake up soon."
Hearing this, Qiao Maixiang turned around and looked back. When she saw it was Tian Xiaohai, her face immediately darkened.
"Tian Xiaohai, why are you here?"
"Oh! That's it. I heard from Jin Xiaobiao that Lingling's uncle was injured, so I came here specially to have a look." Tian Xiaohai explained with a smile and nodded to Qiao Maixiang.
Immediately, he turned to face Tang Lingling's family, nodded, and said hello to them.
Hearing this, Qiu Maixiang glanced at Tian Xiaohai with a look of disgust: "Tian Xiaohai, do you come here to visit patients like you? You said you have empty hands, are you here to beg for food, or are you here to applaud?"
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry to leave. Besides, it was late at night and the shops were closed, so I didn't buy anything." Tian Xiaohai replied with some embarrassment.
"Pull him down!" Qiao Maixiang pointed at Jin Xiaobiao not far away and said, "You see how sensible Xiaobiao is, he just brought two bottles of Maotai over here."
"Xiaohai, you are too dishonest. If you don't have money, you can ask me to borrow it! It's your fault for lying!" Jin Xiaobiao nodded and smiled at Tian Xiaohai with a proud look on his face, and then pointed to the money on the chair next to him.
Maotai said: "If you had told me earlier, I would have brought two more bottles of Maotai from home and given them to you. I have a lot of these at home!"
"Really? Then I should thank you." Tian Xiaohai smiled and nodded, came to Jin Xiaobiao and stretched out his hand: "Xiaobiao, please lend me a thousand yuan first! I really have no money. Looking back,
I will give a red envelope to Principal Qiao's wife, which can be considered as my small contribution."
"You..." Jin Xiaobiao didn't expect Tian Xiaohai to be so thick-skinned.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Stop pretending, you just bet us and took out 10,000 yuan! How can you have no money now? I think you are just stingy. You came to visit the patient with nothing.
, saying you are still not convinced. You are still shameless."
"Okay, Jin Xiaobiao, can you say a few words less?" Tang Lingling rolled her eyes at Jin Xiaobiao angrily: "You'd better take this wine back! My uncle was just injured, how can he drink! Aren't you doing harm to others?
"
Hearing this, Qiao Maixiang's face immediately darkened, "Hey! You silly girl, what are you talking about? How can you take back Xiaobiao's good intentions! You have to accept this wine. This is a rule, do you understand?
You can't refuse other people's kindness. If your uncle can't drink it, you can give it to your grandpa!"
After saying that, she took the two bottles of Maotai next to Jin Xiaobiao's chair and placed them at her feet.
At this time, Tang Lingling's sister Tang Yingying came over.
She glanced at Tian Xiaohai first, then smiled and encouraged her sister: "Sister, when you choose a man, don't choose someone like Tian Xiaohai. Although it is indeed inappropriate for Xiao Biao to bring wine to see his uncle,
But at least they got something, and it’s very valuable. Look at that Tian Xiaohai coming here empty-handed, is that ridiculous?”
"Okay, stop talking." Tang Lingling tugged on her sister's hand.
"I'm going to say it." Tang Yingying raised her face arrogantly, looked at Tian Xiaohai up and down, squeezed out a sneer from her nostrils and said: "Tian Xiaohai, you said how poor you are, at this late night, come on
Look at my uncle, he came here empty-handed, how embarrassing are you!"
When this girl said this, Tian Xiaohai felt really sorry. At first, he just wanted to save people and didn't think too much about it.
After thinking about it, Tian Xiaohai smiled and said to Tang Yingying: "Actually, I came here to treat you to a late-night snack. Your uncle was injured in the fall and recovered, which is something to be thankful for. On the way at night
There’s nothing to buy, so I think a midnight snack is the most affordable option.”
"Tian Xiaohai, you bastard! My uncle is lying in the intensive care unit, who is in the mood to have a late-night snack with you! Are you here to make people angry, right?" Tang Yingying stared blankly, wishing she could eat Tian Xiaohai.
.
"No, your uncle is fine. He can get out of bed. Really!" Tian Xiaohai replied seriously.
"If you say anything again, I'll beat you up!" Tang Yingying said, raising her hand and swiping it towards Tian Xiaohai's face.
"Okay, stop making trouble!" Tang Lingling grabbed her sister's hand and pushed her away. She immediately turned her face and asked Tian Xiaohai seriously: "Xiaohai, is my uncle really okay?"
After what happened in the afternoon, she always felt that Tian Xiaohai was different from ordinary people. Her intuition told her that Tian Xiaohai would not lie to herself. Therefore, she believed him.
"Yes, your uncle is fine. He should wake up soon." Tian Xiaohai comforted him with a smile.
"Silly girl, it's not good for you to believe anyone. Why should you believe this poor boy! Believe that he will beg for food sooner or later." Qiao Maixiang saw her daughter approaching Tian Xiaohai, immediately stood up, blocked the middle, then turned around and pushed her away.
Tian Xiaohai grabbed him and yelled at him angrily: "Tian Xiaohai, you don't understand, so don't get involved here. He's still fine! My brother has been admitted to the intensive care unit for rescue, and the doctor is still consulting! But you
You are talking nonsense here. In order to make Lingling happy, I think you have no lower limit at all!"
"That's it, Mom, drive him out." Tang Yingying also encouraged her.
"Tang Jiankai, you are a loser. People are teasing your eldest daughter. Why are you still standing there? Get this guy Tian Xiaohai out of here!" Qiao Maixiang yelled angrily at Tang Jiankai who was sitting in the corner.
Tang Lingling's father, Tang Jiankai, was an honest man. He worked hard during the day and was dozing off. His wife yelled at him and he woke up immediately.
"What's wrong?" He rubbed his eyes with his hand and trembled with fear.
"Trash! What's the point of marrying you? If you don't drive me, I'll drive you." Qiao Maixiang said, looking for something to smoke Tian Xiaohai.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao, the principal's wife, wiped away her tears and shouted to Qiao Maixiang: "Okay, sister! Just stop making trouble. I'm tired enough. Can you please let me be quiet?"
Hearing this, Qiao Maixiang stopped, but still glared at Tian Xiaohai fiercely, and said softly: "You will look better if you trouble me again!"
"Xiaohai, it's okay, I believe you." Tang Lingling sat down next to Tian Xiaohai and motioned for him to sit down as well. It was a kind of encouragement.
"Thank you!" Tian Xiaohai nodded gratefully. Although he was resentful towards Qiu Maixiang, thinking about his future wife, he tolerated it.
At this time, Principal Qiao's wife came over.
She looked at Tian Xiaohai curiously: "Young man, why do you say my husband is fine?"
"Oh! That's right. I just heard the doctor say that everything is fine. He should be fine soon." Tian Xiaohai said with a smile to smooth things over.
"Really?" The principal's wife opened her eyes excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He has a menstrual disorder." Qiao Maixiang glared at Tian Xiaohai and signaled him to stop talking. Immediately, she turned around and held the principal's wife's hand, smiling and comforting:
"Sister-in-law, I believe the doctor, he should be fine after the craniotomy. Wait a few more minutes and he'll be fine."
While he was comforting, he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from the corridor: "Okay, so this kid is here. It's him. It's this kid who just gave Principal Qiao acupuncture. I saw Principal Qiao suddenly exploded like a corpse.
It moved once and then stopped."
After hearing this, everyone turned and looked in the direction of the intensive care unit, only to see a slightly fat nurse girl walking straight towards this direction with a group of doctors in white coats.
"What's going on? Doctor, how is my husband doing now?" When Principal Qiao's wife saw the doctor coming in the corridor, she immediately rushed over, grabbed a chief doctor by his clothes, and shouted to ask.
"Principal Qiao...he...he can't survive..." A chief doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses shook his head sadly, then his eyes fell on Tian Xiaohai and asked in a cold voice: "Just now
Did you give Principal Qiao acupuncture while we were having a meeting to discuss the plan?"
Hearing this, Tian Xiaohai was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Did Principal Qiao not wake up?"
