Tang Tian Bao's voice was dispirited and looked tired. The tone on the other side of the phone was basically the same.
"Uncle …" "Howl, howl." On the other end of the line, Xie Min began to cry.
"What's wrong? Little beauty? " Hearing Xie Min's crying, Tang Tianbao immediately became spirited. The male hormone in his heart became even more agitated. "You're late?" Director Su criticized you? " Tang Tianbao guessed anxiously.
"Uncle, where are you?" "I want to drink …" On the phone, Xie Min sobbed as she pleaded.
Every man's heart was filled with complex feelings for the fairer sex. This was especially so when they were faced with a pure beauty like a pear blossom in snow and jade that was accompanied by the rain. A protective umbrella couldn't help but grow in the man's heart for the beauties.
"You're not at the office?" Tang Tianbao asked.
"No. I'm alone in our bar last night. "Come over, uncle. I have something to say to you …" The more Xie Min spoke, the more pitiful her words became. In the end, she could only sob uncontrollably.
"Alright, wait for me for a moment!" After hanging up the phone, Tang Tianbao hastily flipped through the phone book and called Chen Dalong.
Tang Tianbao narrated the matter of Yu Meng being hospitalized in full detail to Chen Dalong.
"Dalong, take a leave of absence today. I can't stand it. I haven't slept in twenty-four hours. " Tang Tianbao said over the phone.
"Okay. You wait for me at the hospital. I'll go and take your place. " As Chen Dalong spoke, he cleaned up his desk and said to the person beside him, "Help me get a leave of absence. I have a friend who is hospitalized. I need to go to the hospital immediately."
When Chen Dalong drove over, it was already half an hour later. When Chen Dalong didn't show up, Tang Tianbao also didn't dare to leave the hospital. He was worried that something might happen to Yu Meng and then things would get troublesome.
However, Tang Tianbao's brain began to buzz and his entire person seemed listless. He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, but only for a moment, and then he fell asleep again. Tang Tianbao sat on a chair in the hospital corridor as he lit a cigarette. While waiting for Chen Dalong, he texted Xie Min, "Min'er, wait for me for a bit." "I'm on the second ring right now. There's a traffic jam here.
"Un, I'm fine!" I will wait for you here! " Xie Min quickly replied to Tang Tianbao.
Chen Dalong finally rushed over to the hospital.
Tang Tianbao held Chen Dalong's hand and said, "Brother, you're finally here. "Help me look after Yu Meng, I'm going back to take a nap now."
Chen Dalong looked at Tang Tianbao's pair of red eyes and said, "You really stayed up all night?"
"Yeah. It's been hard on you here! " Tang Tianbao exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Dalong.
"You don't have to worry about where this is. Hurry up and go back." Chen Dalong patted Tang Tianbao's shoulder and said.
After Tang Tianbao left the hospital, he quickly took a taxi to the bar …
Suellen sat alone in the chair. She picked up the glass of water on her desk, opened the lid, and saw that it still contained traces of the previous day's coffee. Helplessly, she picked up the cup and went to the water dispenser to fill it with hot water to rinse the cup. Normally, these jobs were left to Yu Meng, the office secretary. Today, she had to do them herself. While she was thinking about this in her head, she accidentally spilled the hot water onto her hands. She quickly withdrew her hand, and the glass of water fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Ah …" Suellen shook her wrist, crying out in pain.
She subconsciously called out, "Yu Meng!" After a long time, she was the only one left standing in the office. Su Ai Lan suddenly realized that Yu Meng hadn't come to work today. She went to the design department, but Tang Tianbao didn't come. When she called Yu Meng, Tang Tianbao answered her phone. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, fleeting. She walked to Xie Min's desk and stood there for a long time. In her mind's eye, she recalled the argument they had last night. Yesterday's downpour and thunder frightened Su Ai Lan. She hugged the quilt tightly and looked out the window at the lightning bolts cutting through the night sky. The whole room was filled with flashes of lightning. It was very eerie.
At this moment, Su Ai Lan faintly heard the sound of the door opening …
Su Ai Lan subconsciously looked outside and shouted, "Who is it? Is it Min'er? "
Xie Min's spirits had just risen when she stumbled a little as she walked. She threw her high heels to the ground and put on a pair of soft cloth slippers. Xie Min held onto the wall as she walked into the living room. She tossed her bag onto the sofa, then collapsed headfirst onto it.
Suellen came out of the bedroom in her pajamas, trembling. At this point, she was a housewife entirely, without any of the airs of a chairman.
"Min'er, why did your phone shut down?" Su Ai Lan stood at the door and questioned Xie Min.
"No …." "No more electricity …" Xie Min said without opening her eyes.
"See how you drink?" She took a paper bag of yogurt from the refrigerator and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. "Drink some milk and wake up."
"Don't worry about me! Let me sleep for a while. " Xie Min looked impatient.
"I'm not a mother, can I leave you alone?" Su Ai Lan walked to Xie Min, grabbed her by the waist and said, "Get up and go back to your room to sleep! Don't catch cold here at night. "
"Don't touch me!" Xie Min suddenly felt as if something was about to flip out from her stomach. She shouted, "Don't move! Don't move! "
Su Ai Lan put down Xie Min and continued to question her. "Who did you drink with tonight?"
"Aiya, aren't you bored!?" "I don't know, don't ask." She turned her back to Su Ai Lan.
Su Ai Lan held onto Xie Min's arm, her words becoming more forceful. "Get up and tell me clearly. Who did you drink with tonight?" Why are you drinking so much? Are they the same ones as the other guys in the modeling team? "
The moment Xie Min heard the words "model team", her anger flared. She sat up on the sofa and angrily shouted at Su Ai Lan, "Didn't I tell you already? "Don't ever mention the 'model team' in front of me again. I've already left that circle!"
Su Ai Lan had promised her daughter that once she left the 'model team', which was owned by all sorts of people, she would let bygones be bygones. She also promised her daughter that she would never mention the matters concerning the 'model team' again. However, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She suspected that the reason Xie Min drank so much tonight was because she drank with the other members of the "model team".
"Stop putting on an act here. Tell the truth, did you see Ji Long again?" Su Ai Lan continued to ask.
"Su Ai Lan, are you done yet?!" Xie Min shouted as she patted the tea table.
"Am I finished? You should ask yourself what he did to you, don't you know? Why are you so determined not to change? Ah? "Why don't you tell us what's right and wrong?" Su Ai Lan kept talking.
"I haven't seen him. What do you want me to say in order for you to believe me?" Xie Min shook her head and shouted.
"Then who are you telling me? Why did the phone shut down? "
Su Ai Lan wouldn't let Xie Min off until she knew what was going on.
"Tang Tianbao and I were together, so his design didn't pass the initial examination. His phone hasn't been turned off, so it's dead. If you don't believe me, you can take a look yourself." As she spoke, Xie Min rummaged through her bag for her phone.
"I'm warning you, if I see you having any interactions with Ji Long, I'll …"
"What are you talking about?" Why do you have to punish us for the mistakes you adults make? Don't you feel ashamed? " Xie Min could no longer hold it in. The rage in her heart billowed like a raging tide.
Su Ai Lan was so angry that the veins on her forehead started popping out. She gritted her teeth and began to tremble. She could no longer listen. She stretched out her hand and slapped Xie Min's face.
Xie Min covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You actually hit me? "Su Ai Lan, you actually hit me …" Xie Min glared angrily at Su Ai Lan. With a tearful tone, she said, "Su Ai Lan, you better remember this, you actually hit me for that man …"
"Min'er …" Su Ai Lan suddenly realized that she shouldn't have made a move. Since Xie Min was born, she had never made a move against her. She also couldn't believe that she had actually hit Xie Min. She wanted to apologize to Xie Min. She wanted to have a good chat with her daughter about the grievances in her heart.
Xie Min grabbed her bag from the tea table and walked barefoot towards her room, not even bothering to put on her slippers.
"Min'er, listen to what Mom told you …" "Actually …" Su Ai Lan stopped Xie Min.
Xie Min swung her arm over and walked to the door of her bedroom. She turned around and said to Su Ai Lan, who was still frozen in place, "Su Ai Lan, remember this. You hit me today!" After saying that, the door slammed shut.
At this moment, the rain outside grew heavier and heavier, and a bolt of lightning struck down, as if it were about to strike through the window, causing Su Ai Lan to stagger and collapse onto the sofa.
Her mind was in a mess. One moment it was Ji Tianhua, another moment it was Xie Wenqiang. The two men alternated in her mind, leaving her at a loss.
The unbearable memory of the past appeared before his eyes once more.
Suellen was already very tired. Recently, she had been busy with the company's chores and also worrying about the clothing design competition. She had turned herself into a person who could not stop thinking at all times. However, at this moment, the defensive line she had endured for so many years had suddenly collapsed, and she had no choice but to face reality. The fact that she thought everyone had forgotten had once again been mentioned by her daughter, and she had to rethink her life, her right and wrong.
Eighteen years ago, she was an enviable bride! Everyone in the Xie Clan was celebrating. However, things were unpredictable. No one would have thought that the moment he became the bride, her tragedy would begin.
The bridal chamber is full of flowers and candles, the moon shines with tears, a few are happy and a few are sad.
The tragedy that happened in the bridal chamber that countless people envied.
After they had their fill, the congratulatory neighbors all dispersed. The time had finally come for Xie Wenqiang and Su Ailan to truly take over …
"Darling, I'm not feeling well today …" Suilan said weakly.
Xie Wenqiang was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to her. After a long while, he took Su Ai Lan off his body and placed her beside him. Su Ai Lan laid beside Xie Wenqiang, tears flowing from her eyes onto the jujube colored pillow.
The fire in Xie Wenqiang's heart gradually died down, but he was still touching Su Ai Lan, unwilling to give up.
Xie Wenqiang soon began snoring after drinking the alcohol, while Su Ai Lan's face was covered in tears.
That was the excuse Su Ailan gave on their wedding night. She wasn't feeling very well, but she wouldn't be able to accept Xie Wenqiang's request for the next ten months. Because she was pregnant.
On the second night of the wedding, the night was bright and sparse. Xie Wenqiang held Su Ai Lan's hand as they leisurely walked on the small path in the park. When the two of them were tired and sitting on the red wooden bench in the park, Su Ai Lan leaned her head against Xie Wenqiang's shoulder and said. Xie Wenqiang gently put his hand in Su Ai Lan's hair, then slowly slid it down.
