Mother Cao held onto the report and was dumbfounded. "What did you say?"
"It should be your old ailment, but it's just a effusion, not a big problem." As a doctor, Yan Bo was a kind-hearted doctor. Naturally, he did not wish to be ill. Even though it was a case of hydrops, it was considered the luckiest thing that could happen in a situation like this.
If it was cancer, he could not imagine the destruction of a family.
Cao Xiaoxia hugged her mother happily, "Mom, mom, you're fine."
Only Cao Xiaolan understood why her mother had such an expression of regret.
On the way back, Old Li and Cao Xiaoxia consoled Old Cao because they thought she was afraid of pricking them, saying that it was just a minor ailment and that it was alright.
Halfway through their meal, Mother Cao gave Cao Xiaoling a look and the two of them went to the washroom.
As soon as she closed the door, Mother Cao couldn't wait to reply, "Xiao Lian, Mom said something to you yesterday."
"Don't worry, Mom." She comforted Mother Cao, "Xia Xia is my sister, always will be."
Seeing Cao Xiaolian's expression, Mother Cao's heart finally relaxed as she muttered, "Mom is worried about something else. Xiao Xia is a child with a heavy mind. I wonder what she would have thought if she had known that she was being carried here." I've raised my mother for so many years, and I've never let my heart wander. Without this incident, I wouldn't even be able to tell you. Sigh, me too, why are you so impatient. "
If he had known that the report would come out today, he would have suppressed this matter and forgotten about it. Now that her eldest daughter knew, she still had to worry about not letting her youngest daughter know.
"Mom." Cao Xiaoling fed her mother a dose of reassurance, "I promise, after this matter gets out of here, it will become rotten in my stomach. No one will bring it up again."
"That's good, that's good." Old Cao reminded him, "Hey, Little Li, don't even mention it. I'm afraid that in the future, people will look down on you."
"Don't worry, Mom." Cao Xiaolian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I will not tell him about this."
Mother Cao was relieved, and was comforted by Cao Xiaolan. She said that it would be easier if they didn't go out and find out what was wrong with it. The two of them then left.
As soon as he left, he bumped into Tao Qing.
Cao Xiaolian was stunned. "Teacher Tao, why are you here?"
Tao Qing also did not expect to meet her here. He cried out in surprise: "Xiao Lian?" He then covered up his expression and said, "Ah, I was invited to an art exhibition. I was having lunch with a few friends here. What a coincidence, you guys are here too. "
"I came here to play with mom." Cao Xiaoliu introduced, "Mom, this is my first customer from the past. He is Teacher Tao, who I mentioned to you before."
Mother Cao also felt that it was very coincidental. After all, they were all from the same family. She said fervently, "I heard Xiaolian mention you and said you were an artist."
Tao Qing smiled. "What art is an artist? They are just titles given by others."
Cao Xiaolian saw that Tao Qing was a little off and thought that she was a cold and aloof person, so she did not know how to start a relationship with others. She quickly said, "Then, Teacher Tao, we will leave first. Let's get in touch when we have time."
Her words saved Tao Qing's life as he nodded, "Alright, let's keep in contact."
Just as they walked two steps, Mother Cao whispered, "Does this Teacher Tao have an especially bad daughter?"
Cao Xiaoling said helplessly, "Xiao Xia said it again, didn't she?"
"Twilight was recited at home." Old Cao sighed. "Such a wonderful person. How could he have such a daughter? What a sin from his previous life."
As Old Li and Cao Xiaoxia did not notice, only Li Yugeng seemed to be deep in thought.
After the mother and daughter left, Tao Qing stood at the door. He was stunned for a moment before walking into the washroom. He asked softly, "Xiao Yun, is it done?"
After the door at the back of the washroom opened, Tao Yun walked out expressionlessly. "Alright, let's go."
Tao Qing frowned. "Remember to wash your hands after using the toilet."
"I don't have any hands, why is it so troublesome?" Tao Yun's face was filled with unwillingness. He still went over to the dragon head and washed his hands carefully.
"Xiao Yun." Tao Qing sighed, "In a while, don't talk anymore. If I tell you to call for help, then call for help. I'll do the rest. "
Tao Yun's eyes lit up, "Then, can you let me join the Peach Blossom Cup?"
Peach and plum cup is a very professional dance competition, is the art major to rush to the hall.
Tao Qing sighed, "I can only say to try my best. After all, you are half-way out of your family, so …"
"So you can't guarantee it?" Tao Yun sneered, "Then what's the use of you coming here? I can apply for the audition myself. If I ask you to help me, wouldn't that be asking for a ranking? "
Tao Qing's face turned ugly, but he continued to be patient: "You need to recommend yourself to participate in such a professional competition. With your current professional standards, it's not easy to get you a recommendation. Don't even think about winning the award, it's completely impossible."
Hearing Tao Qing say this, Tao Yun screamed: "This is my mother, my good mother." Not only did you throw me into a shitty place since I was a little kid, you still despise me. Why am I like this, and it's not you? Now you dislike me, what are you doing long ago? Do you even know who caused all of this? "
If it was a few days ago, Tao Qing's heart felt like it was being stabbed by knives, but in these few years, she had been tortured by Tao Yun and lost all feeling.
Every time he didn't agree to her request, he would use this to threaten her. She would sometimes even faintly regret it. Why did she give birth to this child in the past?
Perhaps this was the punishment that the heavens had given her, because she was the third party to punish her in such a way.
But she also didn't mean it. If she knew that Yun Zuiyue had a wife, she wouldn't even go near him.
Why did she have to bear all the punishments now?
Tao Greenwood said, "If you still want to participate, then come back with me. If you don't want to participate, then I'll tell them there's no need to wait." "That's all I can do, and that's all I got for my dead mother's face."
Most of the professionals invited today had come to meet her after receiving her mother's advice or knowing the old musician's name.
Tao Qing had never done such a thing before, but ever since she recognized her daughter, she had done all the humiliating things she could.
Every time, she felt that she had challenged her bottom line, but it didn't matter how low she went. She didn't even know where her bottom line was now.
Hearing her say this, Tao Yun didn't want to push her too far. In any case, he had to get a placing first. As long as he could participate, he would be able to show his face amongst his classmates.
She was the only person who had not participated in such a large scale competition. Thinking of this, Tao Yun began to feel proud, as if he could already imagine himself running amuck in the school in the future.
Therefore, she nodded her head, "Alright, if you don't want to say who's in the first place, then win the placings. Mom, you don't know, every time I hear someone praise my grandma, I feel honored. I am her granddaughter, not for myself, but for my grandma. "
It's here, it's here again.
She was always like this. Every time she broke her heart, she would coax her again. Tao Qing's tone was also a lot softer, not as angry as before. "Then let's go in first. We can talk about the ranking later."
When Tao Yun heard that there was a door, he was secretly delighted. He also thought that if Tao Qing didn't give him a convenient door, he would have another cheap father.
In any case, she would definitely make a name for herself.
After dinner, Li Yugeng sent them home.
As he followed her upstairs, Cao Xiaoling became nervous. "You're not going back?"
"Yes, I'm tired from driving. Take a seat."
"Won't I be able to rest when I go back?" Cao Xiaolian was a little nervous as she felt that he was scheming something when she saw his malicious eyes.
When Mother Cao heard this, she was unhappy. "What nonsense are you talking about? Little Li, come in and have a good rest. I'll make you a cup of tea. Green tea can relieve the fatigue in your eyes."
Li YuGeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I just happened to have a greasy lunch so I wanted to drink some tea."
Cao Xiaolian was sure that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, after drinking a cup of tea, Li Yugeng started talking.
"Auntie, my dad will be home the day after tomorrow at night."
Cao Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat and she looked at her mother.
How could a smart person like Mother Cao not understand? When she heard this, she sat up straight.
"Auntie, don't worry." Li Yugeng rubbed his nose. Why did it feel like his home was filled with beasts?
"My family was relatively simple, my mother passed away when I was young. Only my father and sister remained. My sister lives in my aunt's house all year round. "Oh, right. My sister and Xiao Lian are in the same class. The two of them are good friends in school."
Before Mother Cao could react, another bomb was thrown at her.
"Furthermore, my father has met Xiao Lian before. He likes her very much."
Mother Cao couldn't hear what Li Yugeng was saying after that because she was staring at her daughter with her eyes wide open.
He had already seen the other party's parents, but why was he so calm and collected? He didn't even mention it at all.
Therefore, after Li Yugeng had finished, he asked, "Although we are still in school, I want to get married as soon as we graduate, so while Aunt is in the capital, I might as well meet my father. Both parents should get to know each other."
"Isn't he being a bit too hasty?" Cao Xiaoliu quickly said, "Besides, my mom didn't play anything when she came. Next time, I'll bring them to have a good time."
"Sis." Cao Xiaoxia gloated, "Mom cares more about this than playing, right Mom? When are you going to play? "
Cao Xiaolian clenched her teeth. This rascal, why did her mother have to bring him back to raise him?
Mother Cao nodded. "Yes, we are. However, as the saying goes, it is better to choose the next day than the next. Since our relatives are at home, it is rare for us to be here too." Little Li, I'll leave it up to you. Tell us in advance so that we can prepare. "
One could tell how satisfied Mother Cao was just hearing her parents say it.
"Alright." Li Ygeng was beaming with joy, but he warned her repeatedly, "Auntie, please don't be so polite. We won't meet at home. We'll just go outside and find a place to eat."
Both of them had given the order.
After Li YuGeng left, Cao Xiaolan said with a bitter face, "Mom, you really did go."
"What if we don't go?" Mother Cao snappily replied, "You are alone in the capital. We are so far away. Although I can't bear to leave you alone, but I will entrust you to them. At least one more person to take care of you."
Back when Li Yuheng took Cao Xiaoling away, her heart had been in turmoil and she did not know if she had done anything wrong.
Although Li Yugeng had promised to marry her, how could he take a man's oath seriously? Before she saw the little red book, she had been suspicious of everything.
Today, Li YuGeng's words had reassured her.
Therefore, she was very happy at the moment. She felt that it was a good thing that her body was a mess, and then something good happened to her daughter. She also felt that her clothes were not good enough and said to Cao Xiaoling, "Tomorrow we will go buy clothes together."
To see one's own family in such an important moment, of course one had to wear better clothes.
Old Li directly said that he would not go. If Old Li saw his stepfather, he would not be in a good mood and would be looked down upon by Xiao Lian. It was only after being persuaded by the two sisters that he happily agreed to go with them.
