When You Tong arrived at the tea restaurant, she was a little late. Due to the traffic jam on the road, she was delayed a little. She could have got off the car early and ran for a while, but she did not have the urge, although she was not sure yet.
But she didn't dare to risk the little life in her belly.
When she arrived at the tea restaurant, the waiter in a bow tie politely took her to a private room on the second floor.
Zhao Wanhua had already arrived, but when You Tong pushed the door in, she was coughing.
You Tong's heart tightened, "Mom, what's wrong with you?!"
Zhao Wanhua raised her head and said in a slightly muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just have a cold."
You Tong quickly poured a glass of water for her, "Mom, drink some water and press it down."
"Yes." Zhao Wanhua took the cup and took a sip. Her throat was no longer so uncomfortable.
"Mom, have you asked your family doctor to see you?!" You Tong knew that the Li family had its own family doctor.
"Not yet." Zhao Wanhua shook her head, You Tong frowned slightly, Zhao Wanhua quickly explained to her, "Your Uncle Li's health has not been well since last time. I just have a cold, a minor problem.
I don’t want to make the atmosphere at home too tense, but I’ve already taken medicine and I’m much better today, Xiaotong, don’t worry.”
Hearing what Zhao Wanhua said, You Tong still felt uneasy, "Mom, how about I take you to the hospital for a checkup soon?!"
"No, no, no, it's already so late. Why should we go to the hospital? Mom can go there by herself tomorrow." Zhao Wanhua coughed a few more times as she spoke, and her nose was slightly runny. She quickly took out a tissue and wiped it.
You Tong looked a little worried. She felt that she was really unfilial. She had not told her mother for several days since she returned to Taipei. When she saw her mother being sick when they met today, she suddenly felt sour in her heart.
"Mom, I'm sorry." She couldn't help but squeeze Zhao Wanhua's hand, her eyes burning slightly.
Zhao Wanhua couldn't help being stunned, "How can I say sorry?!"
You Tong bit her lip slightly and didn't know how to answer. It seemed that this was not the only thing she should say sorry for.
Zhao Wanhua patted the back of You Tong's hand gently to show relief, then withdrew her hand and went to get the bag placed aside, "Xiaotong, this is the marriage charm that my mother asked for for you, take it."
A square, red and yellow talisman fell into the palm of her hand. It was small and soft, but You Tong felt that it weighed as much as a thousand pounds. "Thank you, Mom." Her voice was choked unconsciously.
Zhao Wanhua couldn't help but cough again, so she didn't realize that something was wrong with her. After taking another sip of water, she slowly spoke again, "Xiaotong, mom really hopes that you can find a good home. Last time you
If you say you don’t like long voyages, then mom won’t force you, but you’re not young anymore, it’s time to pay attention to marriage, you know?!”
"I know." You Tong smiled slightly.
Zhao Wanhua felt slightly comforted, but suddenly remembered something. As if she was worried, she reminded suggestively, "Xiaotong, when my mother went to the temple that day, she realized a truth. People's fate is destined, so people should stay in peace.
, don’t have unrealistic fantasies, mom doesn’t want you to marry into a wealthy family, she just wants you to live an ordinary life, do you understand?!”
"I..." You Tong's heart suddenly tightened, and he nodded awkwardly, "I understand."
What to do, her mother didn't seem to want her to be with Rong Yuchi, but...this time, she was really going to let her down.
"Xiaotong, how are you doing at the Tainan branch? Are you still getting used to it?!"
"Adapted." Although You Tong answered, his mind was slightly in a trance.
"Xiaotong?!" Zhao Wanhua noticed her absent-mindedness and unconsciously raised her tone, her beautiful eyes slightly tightened.
You Tong suddenly came back to his senses. In order to cover up his guilty conscience, he quickly poured a cup of tea for himself and brought it to his mouth. However, he suddenly did not dare to drink it. She was not sure whether drinking tea was good for the baby, so she kept silent and put the cup down again.
, and held it tightly in his hand.
At this time, Zhao Wanhua's cell phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, and You Tong vaguely recognized that the call was from Li Jiaqi. It seemed that she had bought cold medicine for her mother and that she was coming to the tea restaurant to pick her up.
You Tong's hand holding the cup tightened unconsciously. On the phone, Li Jiaqi called "Aunt Wan" and "Aunt Wan" again and again, but it seemed to be more affectionate than her calling "Mom".
Why do I feel so uncomfortable and sour all of a sudden?
Not long after, Li Jiaqi arrived, and with her, Li Yuanhang appeared.
The moment they saw You Tong, they were both stunned.
Li Jiaqi glanced at You Tong coldly. Although she didn't want to talk to her, due to Zhao Wanhua's face, she had to say hello to You Tong, but her tone was so arrogant, "You're here?!"
"Yes." You Tong nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips, "Miss Li, Master Li."
Li Jiaqi returned her false smile, but Li Yuanhang's expression was slightly frozen. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and last time he...
Li Yuanhang glanced at You Tong unconsciously, but she looked away. She didn't want to mention that matter again.
Li Yuanhang was wearing a crimson trench coat and looked a little dusty. Li Jiaqi took his arm, sat next to Zhao Wanhua, and said softly, "Aunt Wanhua, what a coincidence, I just went out to buy medicine for you.
, my brother called me. He knew you were out with a cold, so he hurriedly came to see you. He had just gotten off the plane and hadn’t even returned home. Be filial, right?!"
Li Jiaqi's words made You Tong feel harsh. Compared with her biological daughter, she was not as filial as her stepson?!
There was a hint of self-deprecation on the corner of his mouth.
You Tong didn't want to stay any longer. He looked at his watch and looked up at Zhao Wanhua, "Mom, it's getting late..."
Zhao Wanhua also checked the time, and it was indeed getting late. She called the waiter to pay the bill, but Li Yuanhang took charge of everything. You Tong was secretly glad that she didn't order anything just now. She didn't want to owe the Li family anything, even just a mouthful.
Tea.
When they parted, Li Yuanhang opened the medicine bag in his hand, took out a box of cold medicine and handed it to You Tong. He said softly, "You have a flu recently, take it and drink some to prevent it."
You Tong was about to refuse subconsciously, but something suddenly flashed in her mind. She vaguely remembered that time she was going to France on a business trip. Before leaving, Li Yuanhang asked her mother to give her a copy of motion sickness medicine. At that time, she was hindered by her mother.
I reluctantly accepted the favor, but when I got home, I put the medicine in the drawer of the bedside table, and there were other medicines in that drawer, including...contraceptive pills.
The motion sickness pill was similar in appearance to the contraceptive pill. It was also a small white tablet. If you didn't look carefully, it was not easy to distinguish. She finally understood why she was still pregnant even though she had been taking birth control pills.
It turned out that I accidentally took the wrong medicine.
"Thank you." You Tong suddenly smiled. Maybe she really had to thank Li Yuanhang for having this baby.
