She raised her glass to me and said, "Feng Xiao, thank you so much. You are so thoughtful. But I think the best way is to find ways to increase income."
I clinked glasses with her, took a sip of wine and asked, "So, do you have any specific solutions now?"
She shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
I immediately laughed and said, "Let's talk about it. But don't do anything too outrageous. For the benefit of everyone, it's not worthwhile to involve yourself. You are a person who is not short of money, so you don't have to take risks for such things.
.Do you agree?"
But she sighed: "So what if you have money? You can't carry that money into the coffin. Being happy every day while you are alive is the most important thing."
I looked at her in surprise, "Your family is wealthy, your children are successful in their studies, you are doing well in your career, and your family is harmonious. What else is there to be unhappy about?"
She shook her head and said: "Nothing. Come, let's drink."
Seeing her hesitant to speak, with a gloomy look on her face, I understood immediately. I thought to myself: Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, so it would be hard to talk about something unpleasant about her. But after all, such things belong to other people.
Privacy, so I won’t ask any more questions.
Suddenly there was no topic of conversation, and we could hear each other chewing food at the table.
It was she who broke the silence first, "Feng Xiao, actually you are also suffering, I mean your marriage. Right?"
I shook my head and sighed: "Yes. But you don't use the word 'ye' very appropriately, right?"
She didn't answer my question, but took a sip of wine alone and said, "You are also someone who is not short of money, I know that. In fact, you should know how much money we can spend? These things in the house are all worth it.
No matter how high-end or beautiful it is, you will get tired of it after a while. A car is just a means of transportation. No matter how good or expensive a car is, it is just to satisfy temporary vanity. Don't you think so?"
I suddenly laughed, "There are so many poor people, they don't know how much they envy your life. What else are you dissatisfied with? Just be content!"
She said quietly: "Actually, I envy the lives of ordinary people. Although they don't have much money, they live a fulfilling life. Haha! What do you think is wrong with me? Why do I suddenly become sentimental? Stop talking, come on
, you eat vegetables."
Then, I deliberately brought the topic to department matters, and now she became very interested.
We each had a glass of wine, and then I decided not to drink. She didn’t particularly persuade me, and then she gave me some food.
After finishing the meal, I said goodbye to her immediately. After all, her man was not at home, and I felt that it would not be good for me to stay here for too long.
She walked me out the door, and then I took the elevator downstairs.
When I was in the elevator, I suddenly thought of Tang Zi, so I called her again.
Her phone call was answered.
"I'm Feng Xiao." My first words were said to her softly.
"Yeah." She said, her voice was very small.
"Are you still at Yu Min's place?" I asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Why do you want to resign?" I asked directly.
"Now that things are like this, can I still stay in the hospital? In the office a few days ago, no one came to talk to me. They all looked at me with strange eyes. Do you think I can still stay there?
Are you going down?" she said, becoming excited later on.
I understood her immediately, so I asked her softly: "So, what are you going to do in the future?"
"I already have so much money on hand. I listened to your advice and bought a few houses, and now I have made money. I think I can open a clothing store or trade stocks by myself in the future. I should be able to support myself, right?
” she said.
I sighed in my heart, "Tang Zi, I don't think you should go live with Tang Zi now. After all, we are still in troubled times. Your shares have been removed from the accounts of Yu Min Company, leaving no trace.
It’s really not appropriate for you to live with her now. It’s a miracle that you weren’t involved in this incident, so why do you need to make things more complicated? Tang Zi, do you think I’m right?”
"But, where can I go? Now I have no place to go. You didn't even think of caring about me! My uncle took everything on and didn't mention anything about Yu Min Company. Although he once
So selfish, but he still protected me at the most critical moment, and at the same time, he also protected Yu Min and you! What else could I do?" She became excited again.
I was extremely surprised because I didn't expect that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this. I felt extremely ashamed but didn't know what to do, so I had to hang up the phone silently.
Her words just now made me understand the most basic situation of that matter. It was obvious that Dean Tang took everything on him. Perhaps he confessed to the police like this: Liu Meng had a relationship with him and was then raped by Liu Meng.
Meng's man found out, so Liu Meng's man began to blackmail him, so he asked the CEO of the pharmaceutical company to get rid of Liu Meng's man. In this way, the matter of the anonymous letter was completely put aside.
The police will definitely believe his confession, because it is logical, and since Liu Meng and her man are dead, there are some things that cannot be corroborated. No, it is not that there is no corroboration, but that the police have no way of knowing at all.
However, I still don't understand something Tang Zi said just now. She said that although Dean Tang was once so selfish... From this, I thought of what Lin Yu said to me last time, and I suddenly seemed to understand something.
Why do we need to be so clear about some things? Isn’t it okay for everyone now? So I said to myself. However, when I thought of Liu Meng’s death, my heart was immediately filled with pain - a person’s fate is like this
It’s unpredictable, and the shadow of death seems to hang over our heads at any time.
One afternoon a few days later, Yu Min actually ran to my office, holding her child in her arms.
"This child only knows how to feed and doesn't respond to other things at all. It seems that he can't hear or see. What should I do?" She cried to me as soon as she came in.
I said, "Isn't the child not yet one month old? And he will definitely be affected by lack of oxygen when he is born. Didn't I tell you about this before? Let's wait until the child is older."
She said: "No, I'm going to see a pediatrician today to check on the child's condition. Can you help me find an expert? Isn't the child yours too?"
I was immediately startled, "Auntie, where is this place? How could you say such a thing?"
She stopped talking immediately and cried while holding the child.
I sighed: "Okay, let's go to the pediatrician."
When I took her to the pediatric ward, my heart suddenly moved, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.
"Give me the child, and I'll carry him in to find the doctor." So I stretched out my hand and said to her.
After hesitating for a while, she handed the child to me.
"Wait for me here for a while, and I'll call you after a while." I said to her.
Parents are not allowed to bring their children in and out of the pediatric ward at will, because there have been cases of children being lost in the hospital, and there have also been cases where some parents have quietly escaped with their children because they defaulted on treatment fees. So now for the convenience of management
, ordinary people are not allowed to bring their children inside, and they are not allowed to take their children out of the ward without permission. You must have an exit ticket to leave the ward.
Therefore, Yu Min didn't say anything.
The security guard on duty at the door of the ward knew me, so he did not stop me. After carrying the child into the ward, I quietly cut off a few hairs from the child's head with nail clippers while others were not paying attention. This child
His hair is very thick, so I couldn’t see it after I cut off a few of his hair. As Tong Yu Min said, this child didn’t seem to have any special reaction at all, except that his body was warm.
Outside. I looked carefully at the child's face and found that there was no trace of me in him at all.
I found a professor and told him the basic situation of the child: "This is the child of a relative of mine. He was hospitalized in your hospital last time..."
He took the child and began to examine it.
"I'm going to call the child's mother in. Is that okay?" I asked him from the side.
"Okay." He said.
So I went out and called Yu Min in.
After checking the child's condition, the professor asked: "The child is too young, and some conditions are still unclear. Did a CT scan be performed on the child when he was hospitalized last time?"
"It has been done." I said. "The conclusion of the CT is not particularly clear. I just suspect that the child suffered from hypoxia during delivery."
The professor nodded and said: "There is something wrong with the child's reaction, but there is no other way now. Let's wait until the child grows up. A child at one month old should be able to stare at people, and at two months he should be able to smile.
You can get to know your mother when you are one month old, and you should know who your father is when you are seven or eight months old. Also, you can hold your head up at two months, turn over on your own at four months, and sit firmly when you are half a year old.
Parents can judge whether their child has any problems based on these conditions in the future. If he does, then come to the hospital at that time."
I nodded and said, "I told her the same thing, but it's normal for parents to worry about their children. Yu Min, since the pediatrician has said this, you'd better take your child back first."
Yu Min didn't say anything at this time, but she still asked: "Doctor, if the child really has problems in the future, can you treat it here?"
The professor said: "We will have to look at the child's specific situation in due course. It's hard to say now."
Yu Min asked again: "What about overseas? Are the treatment methods more advanced?"
The professor nodded and said: "Of course, the medical standards in countries like the United States and Japan are definitely much better than ours."
Yu Min glanced at me, then went to hold the child in her arms. (To be continued)
