Wang Gang rushed back to Beijing with Manao. After leaving the airport, he took a taxi and rushed to Ling Mingyu's place.
After arriving home, Wang Gang knew that both Ma Li and Tian Tian were in the hospital. Wang Gang handed the child to Ling Mingyu and then took a taxi to the hospital.
Ling Mingyu had told Wang Gang the hospital and ward where Zhao Ling was staying. When he rushed to the hospital, he saw Ma Li crying in her mother Tian Tian's arms.
"Lily, why are you crying?" Wang Gang walked over and asked with concern.
When Ma Li saw her father coming, she immediately raised her head from Tianye's arms.
"Dad." Ma Li threw herself into Wang Gang's arms and never said what happened.
Wang Gang looked at the fields again.
"Zhao Ling couldn't accept the amputation and said some unpleasant words to Lily." Tian Tian sighed helplessly.
Wang Gang had expected it and was not surprised.
"Lily, your godfather is too emotional right now. He won't say anything without thinking, so don't take it to heart." Wang Gang gently patted Ma Li on the back and comforted her.
"Dad, was it really me who harmed my godfather?" Ma Li said guiltily.
What Wang Gang was most worried about happened. After all, Ma Li was only fifteen years old, still a half-grown child. Such a big change would definitely have an impact on her heart. If she didn't get relief in time, it might become a lifelong shadow.
"This is an accident. No one wants it to happen. What does it have to do with you?" Wang Gang comforted his daughter and said, "You don't need to blame yourself."
"But the godfather said that if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have lost his leg." Ma Li said with tears in her eyes.
Wang Gang touched Ma Li's head and said, "Silly boy, didn't I say so! Your godfather is emotionally unstable right now, so don't pay too much attention to what he says.
After some time, he will figure it out on his own."
Wang Gang comforted her for a while, and then Ma Li's mood stabilized a little.
Tian Ye felt uncomfortable when he saw his daughter blaming herself.
Wang Gang first sent his daughter back to Ling Mingyu, and then returned to the hospital to visit Zhao Ling.
Because Zhao Ling was too emotional, the doctor gave him another shot to calm him down. Now he is asleep. When Wang Gang saw his empty right leg, he couldn't help but sigh that fate has played a trick on people.
Wang Gang and Tian Ye walked out of the ward, not wanting to disturb Zhao Ling's rest, so they went downstairs to the ward.
"Now that Zhao Ling is like this, there should be no shortage of people around him. What are you going to do in the future?" Wang Gang asked Tian Ye.
"I plan to take care of Zhao Ling!" Tian Ye lowered his head and said, "In the final analysis, it is because of Lily that he became like this."
Wang Gang said slightly displeased: "I'll say it again, this is just an accident and has nothing to do with my daughter. Don't say such things in front of your daughter in the future!"
Tian Ye was stunned and said sadly: "I know!"
Wang Gang sighed: "Don't think I'm being harsh. In the final analysis, this matter was a tragedy caused by you and Zhao Ling not handling it well. My daughter should not bear this responsibility."
Tian Ye raised his head in surprise and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Wang Gang said angrily: "I told you when we divorced that parents' behavior has a great influence on their children. You shouldn't hide it from Lily when you are in love with Zhao Ling. Since you want to hide it, you should hide it well and not be discovered by Lily.
"
"Are you blaming me?" Tian Tian said angrily: "Zhao Ling has always been pursuing me, and I didn't agree to him!"
Wang Gang sneered: "Since you don't want to be with Zhao Ling, why do you want to provoke him? If you can't handle your emotional problems yourself, why should you let your children bear the consequences?"
Tian Ye felt extremely wronged. She felt very innocent. According to what Wang Gang said, she was still responsible for the tragedy!
"Take good care of Zhao Ling! He needs people around him during his postoperative recovery and rehabilitation."
Wang Gang left the hospital without saying a word, leaving Tian Tian alone, who was secretly sad.
After returning home, Wang Gang took a look at the children first. Siblings Ma Li and Manao fell asleep hugging each other.
Wang Gang closed the bedroom door and found that his mother Ling Mingyu seemed to be waiting for him.
"Mom, you haven't rested yet!" Wang Gang saw Ling Mingyu sitting in the living room with a sad look on her face.
"How is Tianye now?" Ling Mingyu asked.
"What else can I do? Take care of Zhao Ling in the hospital!" Wang Gang sat opposite Ling Mingyu and poured a glass of water. He had been rushing back and forth without even drinking a sip of water.
"Alas!" Ling Mingyu sighed and exclaimed: "Now that Zhao Ling has become like this, Tian Ye really can't just leave, but I'm afraid her life will be difficult!"
Wang Gang said disapprovingly: "This is also her own choice. Fortunately, Zhao Ling is rich. Even if she loses a leg in the future, she can still wear the most advanced prosthetic limbs, which will not have a big impact on her life!"
Ling Mingyu nodded and said regretfully: "It's just that in this case, it may be impossible for you and Tian Ye to get back together."
Wang Gang curled his lips and said: "I have never thought about remarrying her. Whether my life in the field will be good or bad in the future has nothing to do with me."
Ling Mingyu shook her head and said: "Yu Ye is Ma Li and Ma Nao's mother after all. Even if you can't be husband and wife, you can still be friends. Parents have a great influence on their children."
"Mom, I know, I will handle the relationship with Tianye well."
Wang Gang changed the subject and said: "Manao and Ma Li may have to live with you recently. I will hire a nanny for you as soon as possible."
"Okay! It's up to you."
Ling Mingyu did not refuse the nanny this time. She also knew that her son was usually busy with work and could not take care of the two children. Ye Ye must have taken care of Zhao Ling again, and the family was really in trouble now.
"Is the money for a nanny enough? I still have some pension." Ling Mingyu said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry. I just made some money from my investment recently. It's enough to buy a house, not to mention hire a nanny." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Wang Gang didn't lie. He borrowed one million from Zhao Ling and spent more than a month in the U.S. stock market, which has already doubled more than ten times. It would be enough to hire two more nannies, let alone one.
The next day, Wang Gang discussed the matter of the nanny. Anyway, he took a week off from school in order to travel. He was going to have fun for seven days, but now he was dealing with family matters.
Wang Gang sent Ma Li to school early in the morning, and then went home and interviewed several nannies with Ling Mingyu.
In the end, Ling Mingyu chose a Henanese named He Zhaodi who was in his forties. Wang Gang saw it in person and found that he was honest and hard-working, so he readily paid one month's salary in advance.
Ling Mingyu's small courtyard house had six rooms. Later, it was renovated. The largest room was used as a living room and dining room, one was converted into a kitchen, and the other was converted into a bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms were just one for Ling Mingyu, and Ma Li and Manao lived there.
There is one room, and the nanny lives in the smallest room.
Wang Gang made an agreement with the nanny that she would not have to take care of the children and would be mainly responsible for housework, with food and accommodation included, and a monthly salary of 7,000. If she performs well, she would receive a bonus at the end of the year, no less than two months' salary.
This salary was not low in Beijing, and He Zhaodi readily agreed. Wang Gang also signed an employment contract with her, and stated that the salary would increase by 5% every year. However, if he was not satisfied, Wang Gang had the right to fire her at any time.
Wang Gang still lives in the original house for the time being, and goes to Ling Mingyu's to visit the children and have a meal when he has time.
For convenience, Wang Gang also transferred schools to Manao and found a private kindergarten near Ling Mingyu's home so that Ling Mingyu could pick up and drop off her children.
Ma Li is in the second year of junior high this year and will take the high school entrance examination next year. Changing schools will affect her studies too much, and she can only take the subway for nearly an hour to go to school every day.
Wang Gang worked harder. He got up early every day, ran to Ling Mingyu's house, personally sent Ma Li to school, and then picked her up from school in the evening.
After two days of trying, Wang Gang felt it was too much trouble and considered buying a car or simply buying an apartment near Ling Mingyu's house.
It's just that the courtyard where Ling Mingyu lives is close to the Forbidden City, and the housing prices nearby are too high. Wang Gang can't afford it for the time being, so he can only consider buying a car for transportation.
In the past two days when he was at home, apart from paying attention to the stock market, he was also paying attention to the car market. He was interested in the Audi Q5.
It’s not that Wang Gang doesn’t have money to buy a bigger and better car. The main reason is that there are all small alleys near Ling Mingyu’s house. It’s inconvenient for a car that is too big to turn. The Audi Q5 is just right.
Regarding buying a car, Wang Gang also asked Ma Li to participate to distract her attention.
"Dad, why don't you buy an Escalade? That car is domineering and looks good when you drive it."
"No, that car is too big, it's inconvenient to enter the alley, and it's too expensive."
"Then buy a sports car. I think the Mustang is good." Ma Li said.
"That car has a small space and can't seat too many people, so it's not practical." Wang Gang shook his head.
"Dad, let's go for a test drive this weekend. I want to buy a Mercedes-Benz!" Ma Li said, "My classmates have many homes that buy Mercedes-Benz."
"That brand is a bit eye-catching. It's not appropriate for your father, a physical education teacher, to drive a Mercedes-Benz." Ling Mingyu suggested.
The family sat in front of the computer and chose many car models, but for a while they didn't agree on the same thing.
Ma Li was excited to choose a car online, and gradually forgot about the accident. Wang Gang and Ling Mingyu would also enlighten her when they had time. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good.
It's just that life in the hospital is not easy.
Zhao Ling still had not recovered from his emotions and had a very bad attitude towards Ye Ye. Later, when Zhao Ling's relatives came to Beijing, Ye Ye had to take care of Zhao Ling while also arranging for his relatives. He was so busy that he lost weight and became very haggard.
.
Wang Gang took the time to visit Zhao Ling in the hospital, but Zhao Ling didn't treat him well and said a lot of unpleasant things to him.
"Are you feeling very happy now?" Zhao Ling said in a strange tone when he saw Wang Gang:
"Do you think I deserved it because I lost a leg? I chased the field without telling you and destroyed your marriage. Now it's all retribution!"
Wang Gang looked at Zhao Ling, who was gradually mentally distorted, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Tian Ye stood aside and advised: "Zhao Ling, don't be like this. Mark came to see you today out of concern and did not mean to take pleasure in your misfortune."
Zhao Ling snorted coldly: "You must regret it too! I regret divorcing Mark. Now I can only stay with me, a useless person."
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Zhao Ling, don't think too much, rest in peace and recuperate. I asked the doctor that your knee can be saved and you can wear a prosthetic limb in the future. Your walking will not be much different from that of a normal person."
Zhao Ling shouted: "It doesn't make much difference. I lost a leg. It's because of your daughter that I lost a leg."
Wang Gang frowned and said: "Zhao Ling, if you are angry, just attack us. Ma Li is innocent, she is still young!"
Zhao Ling gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for your daughter, I wouldn't have been amputated. This is what your family owes me!"
Wang Gang gradually lost his patience and said: "This is just an unfortunate accident, and if you want to blame it, you should blame the driver who hit you. What kind of man do you think you are to vent your anger on a child?"
When Zhao Ling heard this, he became even more angry, and Tian Ye was in a dilemma.
"Mark, you'd better leave first! I'll take care of Zhao Ling, don't worry." Tian Ye pleaded.
Wang Gang said to Zhao Ling: "In addition to visiting you, the second thing I came here to do is to pay back the money."
Tian Ye was stunned for a moment, and then saw Wang Gang taking out a bank card from his pocket.
"There are 1.2 million in the card, one million of which I lent you a month ago. The 200,000 is considered interest. From now on, we will not owe anyone anything." Wang Gang put the bank card on Zhao Ling's hospital bed.
"The card PIN is your birthday."
When Zhao Ling saw the bank card, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't owe me money, you owe me a leg!"
Wang Gang ignored the unreasonable Zhao Ling and said to Ye Ye: "Take good care of him and tell me if you need anything."
"Don't leave, give me your leg!" Zhao Ling wanted to catch Wang Gang, but Ye Ye quickly stopped him.
"Zhao Ling, don't be like this." Tian Ye was worried that the wound on Zhao Ling's broken leg would burst, so he hugged him tightly.
Wang Gang shook his head and walked out of the ward. Then he heard Zhao Ling beating Tian Tian from behind.
"Do you also want to go with him? Then go! Why stay with me, a useless person?"
"Zhao Ling, I will not leave you, I will always take care of you." Tian Ye said pitifully.
"I don't want your sympathy. The more you sympathize with me, the more I want to die." Zhao Ling cried bitterly.
Wang Gang stopped listening. He believed that as time went by, Zhao Ling would slowly look away!
After walking out of the hospital, Wang Gang took out his mobile phone and was about to take a taxi, but he didn't expect Wang Xiaomi's call.
"Teacher Ma, I've returned to Beijing. Where are you now? I want to visit Ma Li." Wang Xiaomi's voice sounded a little excited on the phone.
"Ma Li is still in school, and it will be over soon." Wang Gang said.
"Then let's arrange a place to meet! I also brought you a gift." Wang Xiaomi said.
Wang Gang did not reject Wang Xiaomi's kindness. After being in contact with her for a long time, he also liked Wang Xiaomi's straightforward character.
"Okay, let's go to Wangfujing to eat hot pot tonight!" Wang Gang said, "I'll pick up Ma Li from school later."
"Send me the school address and we'll pick up Ma Li together and give her a surprise." Wang Xiaomi said thiefly.
Wang Gang sent Wang Xiaomi the school address and took a taxi there.
?Half an hour later, he saw Wang Xiaomi, dressed in cool clothes, standing at the school gate looking around.
Today, Wang Xiaomi is wearing a vest and shorts, carrying a big bag in his hand, and wearing sunglasses, looking into the school.
Wang Gang walked up behind her without even noticing.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Wang Gang deliberately scared Wang Xiaomi.
Wang Xiaomi shuddered and turned around to see Wang taking a breath just now.
"Teacher Ma, are you scaring me to death?" Wang Xiaomi said, patting her chest.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You stand sneakily at the school gate, don't be misunderstood as a human trafficker."
Wang Xiaomi was unconvinced and said: "Have you ever seen such a beautiful human trafficker? People would just think that I am the parent who picks up the child!"
Wang Gang glanced at Wang Xiaomi's clothes that could only cover her sensitive parts, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "How can there be a parent of a young and beautiful student like you?"
Wang Xiaomi's face suddenly turned red and she said coquettishly: "Teacher Ma, do you really think I'm beautiful?"
When Wang Gang saw the blushing Wang Xiaomi, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking: "What a ripe peach!"
