Cao Xiaolian could not have imagined that this would be the case.

Tao Qing cried like a man in tears. He held her hand and begged for her forgiveness, saying that his daughter was just a child and that he had let her off unintentionally. However, there was only panic on Tao Yun's face. There wasn't the slightest hint of regret.

Cao Xiaolan sighed.

"Teacher Tao, I'm sorry."

She looked at this woman who was once incomparably beautiful and proud. She had even looked up at her, but ever since she brought back this daughter of hers, just look at how much she had forced herself to such a state.

The better face was already overcast with worry. There were traces of being scalded on her slender fingers. Her hair was also mixed with bits and pieces of white hair.

"This matter is too serious. I can forgive her if she did not mean to. "But the nature of the situation is different. I don't know what Tao Yun's intentions are, but you and I both understand the severity of this matter. I have no way of making her live in this kind of environment."

Tao Qing did not expect Cao Xiaolian to reject him. He was stunned.

"Teacher Tao, the reason why I was able to calmly sit here today and not give Tao Yun a slap in the face is because I still respect you. "But that doesn't mean I'll forgive her. You also have a daughter. If the one lying in the operation room today was your daughter, what would happen to you?"

She took a deep breath and forced back her tears, "Teacher Tao, I'm not sure about my sister's current condition, so my mind is in a mess. Don't talk about this anymore, alright?"

Tao Qing lowered his eyes. "I understand. It's my fault. I should also reflect on why Xiao Yun became like this."

She stood up, and her waist seemed to have been pushed down a lot by something invisible.

Cao Xiaolian did not stop her.

The operation was still going on, it had been like this since she came. Five hours had passed, and the teachers were waiting outside, but no one could help her.

She even wondered if a doctor would come out later and let her sign her name to keep her leg or her life.

Heavens, he was really going crazy!

Very soon, the lights in the operating room went out. Cao Xiaolan was startled. She rushed forward a few steps and stopped. The door opened and a doctor came out.

"Doctor, doctor, how is my sister? Is her leg okay? Did she keep it? "

Cao Xiaolian's voice was shaking.

The doctor took off his mask and said tiredly, "She is lucky that the tire was pressed down from her lower leg, resulting in a comminuted fracture. However, the tire has been beaten with steel plates, so it will depend on her later recovery and training. "If you recover, you should be able to walk normally in the future."

Cao Xiaoling finally asked the question that her sister cared the most about. "Then, can we dance again in the future?"

The doctor gave her a strange look and said seriously, "Are you joking? It's not easy for your sister to keep her legs. Whether she can walk in the future is another story. Dance? There is a steel plate in the leg that can't even be bent. "

Although she already guessed that, at the moment she was sentenced, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Soon, the bed was pushed out.

Cao Xiao Xia must have been drugged. She felt a little dizzy. Cao Xiao Lian did not call her. She just followed the car with tears in her eyes.

Cao Xiao Xia woke up in the middle of the night.

She opened her eyes and looked at the white ceiling and the surrounding walls. She felt as if she was in a dream.

But in the dim light, with her sister's face right in front of her eyes, the pain in her leg had awakened her body, telling her that everything was real.

Due to her squabbling with Tao Yun, she was pushed right in front of the car she was driving.

Cao Xiao Xia closed her eyes in remorse, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

The next morning, the doctor came to inspect the room.

"How is it, are you feeling better?"

Cao Xiaoxia nodded, "My legs? Can't I dance?"

The doctor who had walked out from the operating room yesterday frowned as he heard this. "What? Didn't your sister tell you?"

"I was in a deep slumber last night. After I woke up, my sister went out."

In fact, she didn't know how to face her heartbroken sister. Cao Xiaolan had woken up several times in the middle of the night and helped her wipe her lips with a wet cotton swab.

To be honest, he had never seen his sister cry since she was young. Even when she was framed and captured, her elder sister only had a pale face, but her back was straighter than anyone else.

But now, she was crying.

Cao Xiaoxia began to regret that she did not listen to her sister's words. Why did she have to argue with Tao Yun? Since he knew from the start that she wasn't a good person, wouldn't he be fine if he just stayed away from her?

The doctor glanced at her. She was a sixteen or seventeen year old girl with a thin and weak figure. She was also very beautiful. It was said that she was pushed along by someone else. His heart could not help but soften as his tone became much better.

"Little girl, sometimes you have to think of a way to move. After all, this leg of yours is still safe. At the very least, if you train it well in the future, walking will not be a problem. Compared to most of the time, you're lucky. "

Cao Xiaoxia understood the gist of it. She raised her hand and said with a trembling voice, "That is to say, I won't be able to dance anymore, right?"

The doctor sighed. "Other than dancing, you have other choices in life, but this is the only leg. "So, I hope you don't mess around with your body and come in again."

Cao Xiao Xia didn't say anything. She didn't even react before the doctor left.

Only after a long time did she finally hug the blanket and cry bitterly.

She cried very sorrowfully. If she didn't have that much love for dancing in the past, all she wanted was to join the army and lighten the burden on her family. But after a year and a year of training, she had fallen deeply in love with this art, and had vowed to do it for the rest of her life.

Qin Xi gave her the greatest hope. She even set herself a goal, that was, after graduating from university, she would take the exam to become Qin Xi's dancer group.

But the heavens gave her a fierce slap.

She knew that the doctor was trying to comfort her, but she really couldn't accept it. Why had the world changed in just one night?

Last night, my sister cried so bitterly, could it be that she already knew, that's why she was like this?

Cao Xiao Xia silently cried, covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying. But he couldn't control the weight of his tears at all.

Cry, just one last time, just this once willful, after crying, vent, then dry your tears, accept reality, not let sister worry, do not let family worry.

Outside the door, Cao Xiaolian was covering her mouth with her back to the wall. Tears were pouring down her cheeks.

When Mother Cao heard the news and rushed over, Cao Xiaoxia had already left the hospital.

Since her leg was injured, it didn't stay in the school anymore. Cao Xiaolian had long taken the opportunity to take a break from school. The doctor said it would take at least half a year before she could get off the ground.

The school was aware of the severity of this matter. As the school's department, they had directly expelled Tao Yun. They also felt very regretful for Cao Xiaoxia. She would definitely have a longer road ahead of her for a contestant who was proficient in this field at such a young age.

Unfortunately, he had to stop here.

With his legs in such a state, he could easily drive anywhere. Luckily, Li Yugeng drove directly from the capital to Shanghai and pulled him back directly.

"You're delaying these classes. Are you alright?"

Li YuGeng smiled and continued to look at the road ahead earnestly, "It's alright. I have long known about the things in the school. It's just that I am lazy from time to time, I'm too lazy to do them. I've finished everything in the past few days, so I plan to apply for graduation earlier this year. "

Cao Xiaolian knew he was doing it for her, so she said apologetically, "Don't be too tired, just mind your own business."

"Aiyo, I'm so sore." Cao Xiaoxia, who was sitting in the back, took a bite of an apple and mumbled, "Brother-in-law, the dog food came a little early today."

Li Yugeng smiled. "Take care of yourself when you get back. I've contacted a rehabilitation center for you. There was a gymnast who fell from a ring in the past. His body was paralyzed and he's almost recovered." This is even more trivial. "

Cao Xiaoxia knew he was trying to comfort her, but she still replied with a smile, "Sure, but brother-in-law, you've changed cars again. You sure are something."

"Just to make you comfortable." Li Yuheng drove an SUV over because she was afraid Cao Xiaoxia's legs might feel uncomfortable.

It was twelve hours before they reached the capital.

Mother Cao had arrived early. Knowing that Li Yugeng would drive them back to Shanghai, she bought a ticket and took the train to the capital.

"Mom." Cao Xiaolian opened the door and saw her mother in the room. She was surprised. "Aren't you coming tomorrow?"

"If I had a ticket one day ahead of time, I would have changed the date. Xiao Xia, come, mother, take a look."

Old Mistress Cao's voice began to tremble and her eyes turned red. "Why are you tying up such thick gauze? Does it still hurt?"

It will definitely hurt, but Cao Xiaoxia shook her head, "It's okay, Mom. It's not that the hospital gauze doesn't require money, it's just that you have to tie two more. You can still use it as a cleaning rag even after you've taken it off. It's really expensive. "

"Child, what time is it? Are you still joking with your mother?" Mother Cao said with a trembling voice, "You're talking about you. Such a big thing has happened to you, your mouth is really tight. You don't even know what has happened." "If I didn't call the school and the people in the dorms said that you had entered the hospital, I wouldn't even know that you were with them."

"Mom!" Cao Xiaoling also tried to persuade him, "I was afraid that you would feel upset. Oh right, how did you come here today?"

"They let Yi Yi pick me up. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have sent it." Mother Cao mumbled, "I got you two baskets of eggs and firewood from your hometown, all cooked by your Aunt Tian's chicks. By the way, when Yung left, I came all the way here with a basket, but I didn't bring anything for my master. My family has some specialties, so don't push it away."

Li YuGeng reckoned that Li Yuyi would be embarrassed to reject her just now, but he understood Mother Cao's intentions.

Mother Cao had originally thought that the two of them were in cahoots, that the Li family was rich, but the Cao family was just like that. To put things bluntly, everything that happened now was considered rich in the eyes of others, but the Li family really did not put it in their eyes.

Therefore, whatever Mother Cao wanted, she would gladly accept.

"Sure, it just so happens that my dad likes to eat eggs made from firewood. Every morning, he has to eat two boiled eggs made from white water, and he even said that the eggs are not tasty at the moment. It just so happens that the taste has been changed."

Mother Cao was delighted when she heard this. "Don't worry, these are all eggs laid by the little bug's chicken. That's great."

Li Yugeng also knew that the three of them had something to talk about, so he put the salutes away and left with two bags of trash.

As Mother Cao held onto Cao Xiaoxia's hand, she started to mutter to herself, tears streaming down her face.

When Li YuGeng returned home, he was stunned the moment he opened the door.

Father Li and Li Yuyi were chatting happily in the living room.

"Dad, didn't you go out?"

"Oh, it's a different date." Father Li took a sip of his brewed tea and asked, "What about you? I heard you went to Shanghai to pick him up.
