Chapter 40：

When Tang Xi woke up, what he saw was a piece of white.

It took a while before she reacted sluggishly. This is the hospital.

"Cut!" She raised a hand and covered her eyes, she couldn't help feeling a little weak.

How many years have you not been in the hospital? It really became too weak.

"Wake up?" A voice came from the side.

"Team Chu?" Tang Xi blinked her eyes to make her vision clear, and slowly sat up on the bed.

"Yeah." Chu Li walked over.

The serious crime team leader who was not at the scene of the crime still looked lazy and harmless, and didn't know what he was doing before. The sleeve of his shirt was rolled up, revealing a few scabs on his forearm. .

"Team Chu actually has time to take care of me?" Tang Xi asked strangely.

"Forced to take a holiday, work injury." Chu Li was expressionless.

"Oh yes." Tang Xi nodded, but reacted in the next moment, "What is right? Your injury is not just a holiday, it should be hospitalized! Who allowed you to drop in?"

"It's not that serious, a little skin trauma, and it's not Miss Jiao." Chu Li didn't care.

"You said I am Miss Jiao?" Tang Xi glared at him.

"No, no, you are a female man!" Chu Li shook his head quickly. Just kidding, if Tang Xi is such a sturdy Miss Jiao, the women in the world should die.

But I didn't have the courage to say the last sentence, otherwise the female man might let him experience the thrill of uninsured bungee jumping again.

"Speaking of it, am I considered a work injury? I don't pay for the hospitalization." Tang Xi said.

"Of course this will not allow you to pay for the hospitalization yourself." Chu Lixian.

Tang Xi only then looked at the environment of the ward, feeling inexplicably...this layout is a bit familiar.

"By the way, you have slept for three whole days, what else is uncomfortable?" Chu Li asked, "If Yun Qi said that you would be fine after the blood transfusion, I would have to call a doctor for consultation."

"Have you slept for so long?" Tang Xi was startled, "But when I wake up, I'll be fine. This kind of thing is useless for the doctor."

With a wave of her hand, she lifted the quilt directly, and she was taken aback when she saw the hospital gown on her body.

"I wanted to call a policewoman to take care of you." Chu Li touched his nose, "but your sister Su Huang is too fierce."

"I am older than you, so I am called sister." Tang Xi rolled her eyes, got out of bed in slippers, and opened the curtains.

The warm sunlight flooded the ward all at once.

"This is...Linjiang Private Hospital?" Tang Xi saw the scenery outside the window clearly, and turned her head in horror, "I said, why are you so familiar? Reimbursement?"

"How is it possible." Chu Li sneered, "You finished the blood transfusion at the City No. 1 Hospital, and you still didn't wake up the next day, but your vital signs were stable, so Pei Qingzhi moved you here. I think about your situation, it's shameful. There are too many. The VIP ward here is highly private, which is also suitable. Anyway, Pei always pays."

"Oh." Tang Xi responded, not too surprised.

"So peaceful?" Chu Li muttered.

"Should it be alright?" Tang Xi sneered, "I saved him twice, so I should pay for his medical expenses!"

"Yes!" Chu Li thought for a while, nodded, then glanced at her, then stopped talking.

"Just say what you want to say." Tang Xi said no good.

"It's not... after all, hospitalization is not a trivial matter." Chu Li looked away with some guilty conscience, "Anyway, you are also a minor. I called your home according to the information left by the school—"

"It's not my house, you've been to my house." Tang Xi corrected.

"Okay, okay, when I call your legal guardian's house, in the name of the school I used, I said you fainted and sent to the doctor because of anemia--" Chu Li changed his words immediately.

"No one is here, right?" Tang Xi was not surprised.

Chu Li opened his mouth, as if he wanted to comfort her, but he had never done anything to comfort people, and he didn't know where to speak.

"Come on, I don't care, who is your expression for?" Tang Xi couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that she really didn't care about it, Chu Licai said: "The Tang family has indeed been exhausted recently, not just about expired vaccines."

"Oh? What's the bad luck? Tell me quickly to make me happy!" Tang Xi suddenly became interested.

"..." Chu Li was choked and continued, "Tang Zhan was in a car accident and fractured his right leg. Strangely, even Yang Wenqiu, who was behind Tang Zhaohe in the passenger seat, was unharmed, but was sitting in the passenger seat. Tang Jing, who was in the theoretically safest seat behind, was scratched by broken glass, with a high probability of disfigurement."

"Aha." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and secretly sighed the power of the unlucky ghost. But Tang Jing actually hurt her face? Well, it’s okay, that’s the heroine of the original book. The hero Han Zhen loves her to death, not to mention hurting her face, even if she is mad, this love will be dry and dying, otherwise How do you call it a male and female master?

"Are you quite happy?" Chu Li asked.

"Shouldn't I be happy?" Tang Xi asked, "You can't hide the bad things from the Tang family. You should know that I don't treat them because I have a kind heart. I'm a real girl from the mountain village. I'm afraid it is. To be bullied to death by them."

Chu Li sighed and said helplessly: "But you are a minor now, and you can't live without the Tang family. Even if you become an adult, the Chinese law does not recognize the severance of parent-child relationship, and the Tang family is indifferent, but now they have not abused you. It is impossible for you not to support them in the future. The Tang family is unlucky, and you will not be well."

"Team Chu, you are a policeman, and you must know the law better than me." Tang Xi looked at him seriously, "Is there a way to make me completely irrelevant to the Tang family?"

"Unless you are not their daughter." Chu Li didn't think about it, "Otherwise... it can prove that the Tang family abused you. But I don't think you can suffer this loss."

"Isn't it the daughter of the Tang family?" Tang Xi touched her chin, and then said for a while, "If it proves that I am not the daughter of the Tang family, and my adoptive parents have no relatives within five generations, what will happen to me?"

"Well..." Chu Li thought for a while, "Since you are a minor, the government can't let you fend for yourself, so it usually finds you a reliable guardian or guardianship agency. But you are almost seventeen, right? It's just over a year."

"Can I choose this guardian or guardianship agency?" Tang Xi said.

"The guardian should be a two-way choice, and there are certain requirements. But your social relationship, I am afraid it will be difficult to find such a person. It is more likely to be named in the orphanage." Chu Li said, "After all, the key is How can you prove that you are not the daughter of the Tang family?"

"It's not easy, just do a paternity test again." Tang Xi said.

"Have you done it before?" Chu Li was stunned.

If there is any doubt about the paternity test, how can the Tang family recognize a daughter at random?

"Even if it is, I will make it not." Tang Xi said blankly.

Chu Li looked at her in astonishment.

"Boom boom boom." The door of the room was knocked.

"Come here." Chu Li glanced at the wall clock on the wall, got up and opened the door.

"Who?" Tang Xi puzzled.

"Thunder can't move. The guy who reports three times a day." Chu Li said, already opening the door.

"Hearing your voice, Miss Tang woke up?" Pei Qingzhi walked in with an exquisite three-layer insulated food container.

"Well, I'm awake." Tang Xi stared at his hand and touched his stomach.

It seems to smell the fragrance, so hungry!

"It's just right, I brought the food." Pei Qingzhi put the food box on the table well and took out the same.

Soup baby cabbage, tomato fish fillet, loofah egg soup, celery and lily, plus a bowl of colorful multi-grain rice, it makes people move their index fingers.

"President Pei is so caring!" Tang Xi beamed his eyes and unceremoniously took his chopsticks over.

"You like it." Pei Qing chuckled.

Although Tang Xi had a nutrient needle when he was asleep, there was nothing better than a delicious meal, especially the chef who descended from the royal chef of Pei's family. His craftsmanship was really good.

"Eat slowly and choke carefully." Pei Qingzhi said quickly.

"It's okay, I'm not sick, I'm just hungry." Tang Xi said vaguely.

Although the stomach was empty for three days, these dishes were light and easy to digest, and the rice was cooked softer than usual. Obviously, it was made specially for the patient.

After filling three points, Tang Xi remembered Chu Li's previous words: "Three times a day?"

"I'm afraid you won't be accustomed to eating hospital food when you wake up." Pei Qing said.

"Uh..." Tang Xi was ashamed, "I slept for three days, what a waste."

"No." Pei Qingzhi said.

"Why not?" Tang Xi puzzled.

"Some people eat and don't waste it." Pei Qingzhi added.

Tang Xi was silent for a while, raised her head, looked at Chu Li, and said sincerely: "Do you need another takeaway for you?"

"Fuck you." Chu Li laughed and cursed, took an apple from the fruit basket, wiped it on his shirt, and walked out while biting, "Since you are awake, I will go back to the game and have a look. Call, you don’t have to worry about Lu Meihua, Fang Tianchen will take care of the aftermath, and the rest will be discussed when you leave the hospital."

"I see." Tang Xi waved.

Pei Qingzhi closed the door, sat across from her, took out the tablet and started processing the mail.

"President Pei is so busy, I really don't use it so diligently, Yun Qi should tell you, I'm fine." Tang Xi said with a serious face.

"Even if it's okay, sleeping for three days is definitely not a good thing, right?" Pei Qing said.

"Why, should Pei, the life-saving benefactor, always agree with him? Doesn't it all act like this in the drama." Tang Xi smiled.

Pei Qing was startled, his eyes fell on her face, and he did not speak for a long time.

"Why, Mr. Pei's eyesight is too high to look down on me?" Tang Xi was a little angry.

"No, you are too young." Pei Qingzhi replied very seriously.

"..." Tang Xi was choked with blood on his throat because of his suffocation, almost suffocating internal injuries.

Okay, she was joking. By the way, she wanted to see how this man who didn't even go awkward changed his face, but she didn't expect to get a serious "you are too young" answer.

Your sister is too young! If it weren't for crossing, would I be the same age as you!

Pei Qingzhi looked at her bulging cheeks, suddenly smiled, picked up the spare chopsticks, and put a piece of fish fillet into her bowl: "Eat it, the fish will be fishy when it is cold. What you want to do now is to study hard. Don't be led by Chu Li all the time to get into a good university."

Tang Xi...chewed the hapless fish to vent her anger.

"I took care of everything that day. There will definitely not be any video data coming out." Pei Qingzhi said again.

"Of course I can rest assured of Mr. Pei's ability to do things." Tang Xi bit his chopsticks and asked, "By the way, does Mr. Pei know where to do a paternity test?"

"I know a research institute and can do it. Who will do the paternity test?" Pei Qingzhi said immediately.

"I." Tang Xi raised her hand without blinking her eyes. "Given the Tang family's attitude of leaving me in the hospital, I have reason to suspect that I am not their daughter. I request a new paternity test."

"..." Pei Qing was stunned, and said for a long time, "This won't work. Your current household registration relationship is in the Tang family. If you want to terminate the relationship, a private paternity test will not have legal effect."

"What should I do then? Tang Zhenying will definitely not agree to do a paternity test with me again." Tang Xi was distressed.

"If you are sure, I can help you find a lawyer to sue." Pei Qing hesitated before saying, "But, this is not a joke. Are you sure you are not Tang Zhenying's daughter?"

"OK!" Tang Xi replied decisively.

She is Tang Xi, originally from another world, she has a half-cent relationship with Tang Zhenying? And Tang Zhenying's real biological daughter, for some reason, no longer existed when she passed through.

"Okay, I'll help you arrange it." Pei Qingzhi nodded.

"The sooner the better, I want to solve this problem a year ago, or else I have to spend the New Year with a group of fools, it would be a waste of my time." Tang Xi said.

"Okay, you write a written commission, and I will let the lawyer take care of other things for you." Pei Qing said.

In Pei's huge company, the Legal Department has raised a team of lawyers. If Tang Xi is really not Tang Zhenying's daughter, then this matter will be easy to handle.

Tang Xi ate the rest of the food in a few mouthfuls, smashed the empty bowls and chopsticks into a pile, pushed it to the side, pulled out a piece of A4 paper, and waved it away.

"The word is good." Pei Qingzhi stared at the signature of Long Feifengwu and his eyes lit up.

"Father Pei said the same." Tang Xi smiled without humility.

A celestial master who draws symbols every day, if he can't even write cursive script well, he will really laugh out of his teeth.

Pei Qingzhi pulled out a box of ink pad from her bag and asked her to press her handprint, and solemnly put away the power of attorney: "Don't worry, there will be results within a week."

"Thank you." Tang Xi said openly.

"Do you need to go through the discharge procedures for you?" Pei Qing asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, who is going to be hospitalized?" Tang Xi said immediately.

Pei Qingzhi got up, opened the cabinet, and said, "I'll go through the formalities. Your things are here. I will let people wash the clothes. You can clean it up."

"...Okay." Tang Xi looked at the dry cleaner's packaging that hadn't been opened, and was a little embarrassed. Wouldn't it... even her underwear was washed, right?

Pei Qingzhi opened the door and went out. She hurriedly sneaked into the bathroom with her bag like a thief.

It's really washed... Although it was a dry cleaner to send it to, haven't you been treated as a pervert?

She changed her clothes as quickly as she could and wore sneakers when she came out. She still felt that the heat on her face had not subsided.

"It's okay." Pei Qingzhi came back in less than ten minutes, neatly packed the bowls and chopsticks, and picked up the fruit basket.

"Who gave it?" Tang Xi took a bite of a fragrant pear and asked casually.

"You didn't notify your classmates about your hospitalization." Pei Qing said, "This was sent by a lady surnamed Fang the next day."

With that, he flipped through the fruit basket and found a handwritten note from below: "She left the phone for you."

Tang Xi froze for a moment, then smiled, took down the number, tore the note, and sent a text message to Fang Tianyun with her mobile phone: Thank you, the pears are very sweet, which one bought them?

Ten seconds later, a reply came in: The Xianfeng on the left of your Municipal Bureau.

Tang Xi opened her eyebrows and replied "Please next time", and put her phone in her bag.

"Shall I take you home?" Pei Qing asked.

"Yes." Tang Xi replied.

Pei Qingzhi didn't ask much, and put the fruit basket and food box in the back seat.

"There is nothing wrong with your right eye, right?" Tang Xi said suddenly.

"It shouldn't be." Pei Qingzhi smiled indifferently, and said relaxedly, "Anyway, it's not often seen."

"If you see anything, remember to tell me as soon as possible." Tang Xi solemnly said.

"Good." Pei Qingzhi responded.

All the way back to Fengya Jiangnan, Pei Qingzhi parked the car downstairs without getting off.

"Mr Pei is busy, I won't leave you to drink tea." Tang Xi held the fruit basket and waved with a smile.

"You haven't been home for a few days, so I can't bother you." Pei Qingzhi lowered the car window to say goodbye, and when she saw her walking inside, remembering something, he quickly asked, "Tomorrow night, will you come?"

Tang Xi was taken aback, only to remember that because she had fallen asleep for three days, tomorrow was already Saturday.

Pei Qingzhi's birthday party.

"Don't worry, I will go." Tang Xi replied.

Pei Qingzhihu's heart fell back to its original position and watched her back into the elevator before reversing and leaving.

Tang Xi entered the house and immediately threw a long sigh of relief on the sofa.

"Xiao Xi is back, are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Aunt Zhang rushed out hurriedly.

"Aunt Zhang, I want to drink orange juice." Tang Xi acted softly.

"Well, Aunt Zhang will squeeze you right away." Aunt Zhang entered the kitchen cheerfully.

"Is there anything good? Aunt Zhang is very happy today." Tang Xi asked curiously.

"Watch the news." Yu Mingfan said indifferently.

Tang Xi took out the phone and swiped it, um, nothing special.

Yu Mingfan took her mobile phone to operate it and handed it back to her.

"No wonder." Tang Xi laughed.

This is a very inconspicuous piece of news. The police reported that the main perpetrator of the previous wire-cutting case had turned back. The real mastermind has been transferred from the mental hospital to the police station. However, given the mental state of the mastermind, it is very likely that he will be detained in the mental hospital. Now the family members are actively making compensation, hoping to obtain the forgiveness of the victim’s family members and strive to mitigate the punishment.

Tang Xi couldn't help but chuckle.

The vocational high school student was under 18 years old, and he was not deliberately murdered. If he were actively compensated, had a good attitude, and performed well, he would not have been punished multiple times. But now he bribed his classmates to cover up the bag, shielded the mastermind, refused to compensate the victim... all of these things have caused his parents to be implicated.

Sure enough, evil is rewarded. However, for Aunt Zhang’s family, this compensation is really important and a good thing.

Soon, Aunt Zhang brought out a glass of fresh orange juice: "By the way, a large package was delivered two days ago. There is no one at home. Xiao Fan thought of a way and wrote a note and stuffed it through the door. Go out, let someone put the box at the door, and we will bring it in later."

Tang Xi was ashamed, and the courier 80% thought that the person living here was abnormal.

Someone in the room doesn't need to open the door, or stuff a note or something...

After drinking orange juice in a few sips, she got up and took the fruit knife in the fruit plate of the coffee table, and removed the huge box a few times.

Unpacking the layers of packaging, the ghosts were shocked that there were actually two dolls of the same size, a man and a woman, lifelike, and at first glance they looked like a living person.

"This is..." Yu Mingfan's expression was shocked.

"I promised to give you a body." Tang Xi moved the two dolls out, "In order to avoid trouble, I asked the puppet master not to paint the makeup too beautifully. It is closer to ordinary citizens and will not be in the crowd. It’s too conspicuous. It’s like putting on clothes when you use it. You’ll get used to it a few times. Aunt Zhang can go out to buy food when she puts on a doll, and can order the supermarket to deliver it when I’m not here."

"Xiao Xi, you are so kind." Aunt Zhang was very moved.

Ever since she became a ghost, she hadn't thought that one day she would be able to walk on the street openly and speak like ordinary people.

Tang Xi spelled two ghosts into the doll's body: "The first time I help you, you can put on and take off when you get used to it. Clothes...just that one first, and I'll buy some later."

"This is too..." Yu Mingfan shook the palm of his hand, his face full of shock.

Perhaps because of the soul's entry, the joints of the doll are hidden, and it looks no different from human skin with the naked eye.

Tang Xi slapped his hands twice to attract their attention, and said solemnly, "Listen carefully what I want to say below."

"I have imposed a ban on you. That is an iron law that is absolutely and absolutely cannot be violated."

"Your name is a taboo. No matter who it is, as long as it doesn't carry my spiritual power, someone called your name, and you responded-the contract will take effect immediately, and you will lose your soul on the spot, understand?"

"People are dead when they die. The dead should no longer disrupt the lives of the living. Letting you see your family from a distance is the limit. Don't cross the line."

"You can't afford the price of disrupting Yin and Yang, and I can't afford it either."

After a long time, Aunt Zhang said: "Xiao Xi, don't worry, I just...see if my husband and daughter are doing well, I hope the compensation will make their lives easier."

"Same, I just want to take a look at my parents." Yu Mingfan was more calm, but there was a trace of regret and relief in his tone.

"That's good." Tang Xi returned to a smile, "There are still some minor issues to remember. You only look like living people, but you are actually puppets. Try to keep contact with people as little as possible. The visual effects are easy to confuse, but It’s not the same to the touch. Holding a person and holding a doll is definitely different. Also, you can’t eat, the doll can’t digest, don’t get hurt, there’s no blood to flow, especially don’t get too close to people, you don’t breathe. Pulse, heartbeat and body temperature will help."

"Got it." The two wrote down solemnly.

Tang Xi nodded in satisfaction and let them adapt to the doll by themselves.

Great, fortunately that the express arrived in time, Yu Mingfan actually forgot to ask her homework! It's so rare!

As for why only two dolls were ordered, she would never rest assured that Yueyue mother and daughter would leave before the celestial master who arranged the seal of the haunted house showed off. Fortunately, they had no other relatives, and they didn't care about it.

Finally, she released Lu Meihua.

Lu Meihua's face was sad, as if she had matured and become sophisticated all of a sudden.

"After you have already known it, what do you think?" Tang Xi asked.

"It turns out that they are all fake." Lu Meihua sighed faintly, and then smiled bitterly after a while, "I originally thought that I had lived like a joke in my life-working hard and climbing up step by step. I looked glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, and the money I could make was subsidizing my family. I didn’t even want to buy a better lipstick. I finally found a man who treated me well, but he was a beast with a beast. I just... It's so dead."

Tang Xi didn't speak, she understood that Lu Meihua just wanted to talk, and she didn't need her to answer anything.

"Xiao Xi." Lu Meihua looked at her solemnly, "Can you send me away?"

Tang Xi was taken aback, and then shook his head: "One hundred and fifty years ago, the ghost gate was closed, and no ghosts can enter the underworld. Now your obsession has disappeared. If you don't want to stay, I'm afraid it will only dissipate."

Lu Meihua was silent for a while: "How long do I have?"

"Probably, seven days." Tang Xi thought for a while.

"Seven days... okay." Lu Meihua thought for a while, laughed, and smiled brightly, "Xiao Xi, I want to go out and have a look. I didn't live for myself when I was alive. I was dead. I want to see. Look at the outside world. I want to see the sea, I want to ride a Ferris wheel, I want to learn to paint, I want to do all the things I can’t do while I’m alive.

"Okay." Tang Xi patted a magic talisman into the depths of her soul, "The power of the contract I gave you will probably allow you to hold on for a longer period of time. I don't know how long it will last."

"Xiao Xi, thank you." Lu Meihua floated over and hugged her gently.

"Wait." Tang Xi turned around and ran back to the room. When he came out, he took a delicate lipstick and handed it to her, "This is for you."

Lu Meihua was stunned and took the lipstick with a shaking hand.

"It's good all the way." Tang Xi said puns.

"Well, goodbye." Lu Meihua squeezed her lipstick, bowed to her, and went out through the door.

"Strong again." Yun Qi appeared beside her with a dissatisfied expression.

"It doesn't take much spiritual power to transform a lipstick." Tang Xi soothed.

"It's usually nothing, but do you know your current situation?" Yun Qi said angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's not take it as an example." Tang Qiqian laughed, his eyes rolled suddenly, and he changed the subject, "Yun Qi, I'm going to the banquet tomorrow, you see, I can go alone alone. Poor, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Yun Qi frowned.

"Be my boyfriend!" Tang Xi clasped her palms together and stared at him sincerely.

Yunqi:...
