175. Nature
When Tong Yu arrived, Li Man had been waiting outside the operating room for more than three hours.
She had seen some big scenes in the past, but she had never seen such a major event related to life and death, so she lost her usual calm, and her hands were trembling slightly when she signed the critical illness notice.
In order to prevent the death of the patient and the trouble of the patient's family to find trouble with the hospital, Li Man still called Tong Yu at the repeated request of the doctor.
She thought that on the other end of the phone, there would be Tong Yu's anger or roar, or at least a stern question, and she was ready for the storm.
But Tong Yu didn't seem to have any reaction, just was silent for a few seconds, and hung up the phone with a reply of "I'll come over immediately".
In the next few hours, Li Man did not receive any calls or messages from Tong Yu, but there was a WeChat message before Tong Yu boarded the plane.
"Which hospital?"
Li Man kept his mobile phone in his hand, and immediately replied after seeing the message, but he didn't wait for Tong Yu's reply, but directly met Tong Yu himself a few hours later.
She hadn't seen such an embarrassed Tong Yu for many years, and the last time she saw him like this in her memory was when he was in a state of collapse during the period when he was hidden in the snow.
At that time, Tong Yu seemed to have lost his enthusiasm and expectation for life, and every day he looked sluggish, hiding at home playing games and watching movies, his beard was not shaved, his pajamas were not changed much, and he stayed up late every day.
But even so, Tong Yu's appearance can only be called decadent and haggard, which is not at all the same as the current helpless and embarrassed image.
Tong Yu's hair has not been washed for about a day, and he has not been hairstyled, and his excessively long bangs are hanging in front of his forehead, which looks extremely unenergetic. A face is also completely plain, with heavy dark circles and unshaved stubble, which makes Tong Yu look several years older, like what he should have at his age.
In terms of dressing, I looked like a gray cotton T-shirt and jeans I was wearing at home, and I only wore a black down jacket and ran over, without even carrying a bag, holding a mobile phone in my hand, a mask on my chin, and my whole brow was furrowed.
Before receiving the call, Tong Yu had just gotten up not long ago, and he was carefully studying what to wear at home to pick up Ai Xin at night, except for washing his face and brushing his teeth, he didn't even eat.
Now, Tong Yu felt that he hadn't woken up yet, his whole brain was blank, and he even suspected that all this was just a dream he had...... It's just a nightmare.
It wasn't until he saw Li Man pacing outside the operating room with an anxious face, saw the red emergency lights shining above the operating room, saw the doctors and nurses in a hurry, and saw the red coat Li Man was holding on his arm, that Tong Yu confirmed that this was the real world and not his dream.
The red coat was bought for Liu Yarong when he went out last time.
Although Liu Yarong is thrifty, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and Liu Yarong is no exception. Liu Yarong couldn't put down the clothes that Tong Yu carefully selected and brought back, and said that she would often wear it in winter.
In order to be festive for the New Year, Tong Yu specially selected the red color, but it looked extremely dazzling at this moment, which made Tong Yu a little dizzy for a while.
"Leeman. ā
Tong Yu shouted from afar, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.
"Inside...... How's it going?"
"IāI don't know...... The doctor is resuscitating, but maybe it's coming out soon. ā
Until now, Li Man didn't dare to tell Tong Yu about the critical illness notice, and he didn't dare to tell Tong Yu how bad the real situation was. Even if Tong Yu could guess that calling herself must have been a last resort, she still had some luck. If Liu Yarong can come out safely, there is no hurry to explain to Tong Yu slowly.
But things were not as Li Man wanted, Tong Yu was obviously surprised and angry at all this, he didn't understand how Liu Yarong could wrestle so well, and he fell so badly on his head. What's more, if Liu Yarong fell at home, why was he sent to the People's Hospital, which is not close to the distance, shouldn't this situation be the first to find the nearest hospital?
"Li Man, I don't have time to worry about you now, you tell me honestly, what's the matter? If my mother really has something, you hide it from me now, and you're finished. ā
Tong Yu leaned back, leaning against the wall, only then did he feel that he had stood firmer, and with strength, he seriously examined Li Man in front of him, trying to pry Li Man's mouth open as soon as possible.
"Aunt Rong...... I fell down while taking a shower at home before, but fortunately it wasn't a big deal, but my leg was a little injured, so I just had to recuperate. Then it's time to recuperate in the hospital...... I didn't watch one of them, and when I went to the bathroom...... I didn't stand up too steadily, and when I fell, I hit my head against the sink......"
"You wait. ā
Tong Yu had been listening to Li Man's words carefully, and he didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly felt that something was not right, and after recalling Li Man's previous words, his brows furrowed.
"You say...... My mom was hospitalized before, even before today?"
ā...... Be. ā
Li Man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Tong Yu, so he answered softly, but this word was like a cannon battle, and it exploded directly into Tong Yu's ears.
Tong Yu straightened up and glanced at Li Man, and before Li Man could raise his head, an irrepressible roar erupted.
"Li Man, don't you know who you are now?! You are just my agent, not my boss, not even my family, why do you think you are qualified to hide from me about my mother's hospitalization? Do you think you can call the shots about my affairs? Do you think you ...... No, why didn't I find out that you were so capable before, if nothing happened this time, did you plan to hide it from me all the time?"
Halfway through the shout, Tong Yu seemed to be a little out of strength, leaned back again, and something else suddenly came to mind.
"No, have you been here all these days?"
"Right...... yes......"
Li Man nodded, she didn't know what Tong Yu thought, but in order to keep the secret between Ai Xin and Liu Yarong, she still chose to carry it down first.
Besides, although Tong Yu's words are hurtful, the first is angry, and the second is indeed right. She has no qualifications to hide any family affairs from Tong Yu, let alone help Tong Yu make any decisions without authorization, and this time it was her mistake that led to such serious consequences.
"Impossible, my mother has been hospitalized for a few days? You were still in Beijing a few days ago, and yesterday was the day before yesterday, I still saw that the notice arranged for you, you can't be here for the next few days......"
Halfway through speaking, Tong Yu suddenly froze, looked at Li Man in a daze, his eyes narrowed, and he was silent for half a minute before he opened his mouth again, and his voice was much lower than before.
"Are you...... Before...... Is my mom ...... Have you seen Ai Xin?"
This is the last thing Tong Yu wants to think about at this moment, but the only possibility he can think of.
Li Man and himself usually can't leave Beijing, and Liu Yarong lives alone in T City, and there is no one to take care of him. With Li Man's character, it is impossible to tell anyone around him about the situation in Tong Yu's family, and his friends like Su Ya and Pepe are not too reliable, and they can't spare time to take care of Liu Yarong.
There is only one person, it is Li Man who may mention these situations, and it is possible to come to T City anytime and anywhere, and there can be an identity that Liu Yarong is very acceptable to - that is Tong Yu's girlfriend, Ai Xin.
Thinking of this, Tong Yu's upper body trembled, but his legs were as heavy and numb as if he had been pointed, he felt that his heart was beating extremely fast, and a stream of air swirled in his chest but could not gush out, and he was blocked alive in his heart.
Liu Yarong is now rescuing in the operating room, and the agent she has trusted for many years has done so many things without telling her, and now, even her girlfriend, who she has chosen thousands of times and treats her sincerely, has joined forces to deceive herself......
All of them came together, like a loud slap in the face of Tong Yu, and like a hammer hammer on the top of his head, a chill came from Tong Yu's heavenly inspiration, and quickly rushed to the soles of his feet.
"Boom-"
With a muffled sound, Tong Yu fell to the ground along the wall, making a heavy sound, but there was no expression on his face.
"How much, how long has it been......"
Tong Yu raised his head, and the bright smiling eyes of the past were gone, replaced by eyes full of despair and the pain of betrayal.
"How long have you been hiding this from me?"
"Tong Yu, listen to me......"
"What do I hear you say?!You're all farting!"
Tong Yu could no longer bear Li Man's explanation of the false and wronged snake, and scolded a few dirty words that he only knew in his life, his eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot, and he looked at Li Man with an angry face.
"What the ask you, how long have you been hiding from me?!"
"Three...... A month or two, really, that is, when Aunt Rong came to Beijing not long ago, she met Ai Xin. Aunt Rong was also afraid that you would worry about it, affecting her work, and she was afraid that I would tell you if she looked for me, so she contacted Ai Xin......"
"Work work, you only know what bullshit work is! Is work more important than my mother?! Are you going to wait until my mother dies to tell me these things!"
A stormy roar was not over, Tong Yu suddenly realized that he was out of control for a while, and he actually said such a big rebellious thing, quickly got up, touched his forehead and shoulders with his right hand, and put his hands together and silently recited a series of words before he opened his eyes and continued to look at Li Man.
"I'm sorry. ā
Li Man lowered his head, knowing that it was useless for him to say anything in this situation, everything could only be explained after Liu Yarong's situation was clear, so he didn't bother anymore, and stood aside silently, accompanying Tong Yu to continue waiting outside the operating room.
Tong Yu helped the wall behind him, moved to the side with some difficulty, and sat on the waiting bench outside the operating room, still glancing at Li Man with residual anger, and lost the desire to continue to be angry for a moment, and turned to look at the light on the door of the operating room, frowning and waiting for Liu Yarong to come out.
The mobile phone vibrated in his pocket, and even if he didn't have to take it out, Tong Yu knew who was calling him. But at this moment, the last thing he wanted was a call from that person.
The other party seemed to be very tenacious, and after a pause, he began to call himself again, and called again and again. Tong Yu impatiently took out the phone, wanted to turn it off, hesitated for a few seconds, turned the phone to silent again, and put it back in his pocket.
A few minutes after Tong Yu did this, Li Man's cell phone rang again.
She glanced at the name displayed on her phone, immediately pressed mute, and was about to go outside to answer the phone, but was stopped by Tong Yu.
"You are not allowed to take it. ā
Tong Yu said without raising his head, with a seriousness in his voice that could not be refused.
"......"
"No, but, as long as it's Ai Xin's phone, you are not allowed to answer it, and if you answer, you will get out of me now. ā
Tong Yu squinted, still staring at the emergency lights tightly, not looking at Li Man at all, but his tone became more and more unfriendly.
At this time, Tong Yu is from the bottom of his heart, except for Liu Yarong, no one wants to see it, including Li Man, if it weren't for the years of friendship, he would probably have driven her away directly just now.
Let her stay here, firstly, to save face for her, and secondly, because Li Man has been helping Tong Yu take care of Liu Yarong for many years, and the relationship between the two is good, Li Man is worried about Liu Yarong from the bottom of his heart, so Tong Yu has endured it until now.
But for Ai Xin, Tong Yu really couldn't accept it, not to mention that he had promised again that he would not be deceived again, just meeting his mother behind his back, and keeping in touch, this kind of scheming made Tong Yu feel extremely cold at this time.
He had thought about it before, whether Ai Xin's concealment, reservation, and small actions would be the unique eyes and habits of businessmen, in order to protect himself and benefit. But even if it was like this in the mall, Ai Xin could be regarded as fully confessing after being with herself, and she also promised that she would not be like this again in the future, so Tong Yu was relieved to be with her.
He thought that he could change Ai Xin, or that Ai Xin's nature was not like this at all, this was just a precaution. He often comforts himself that people are different, and there is no need to force Ai Xin to be a person like him. And in the past few months, Ai Xin's performance has also made him feel that he can trust her.
But now, Tong Yu has come to understand that lying, cheating, and concealing ...... These most terrifying qualities in his opinion are simply Ai Xin's nature, and they are her subconscious decisions and actions.
No matter how good and natural he acted in front of him, no matter how he gained his trust, as long as the East Window incident happened, Tong Yu could quickly find out that Ai Xin had done a lot of things behind his back quietly, and he only treated himself as a fool from beginning to end.
Maybe one day, when you get tired of playing, you will kick yourself away and find a younger and more handsome male star.
Maybe...... Even what Ai Xin said, what he liked for many years, participated in his first record signing party, and hung his own posters at home are all lies, just to win his own favor.
Even...... Tong Yu is now beginning to wonder whether Ai Xin's words about the death of his parents and the death of his father in a car accident are true or false, and how much water there is, he doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
In his eyes, Ai Xin is no longer the well-behaved and cute little girl who blushes when she speaks, but a scheming and scheming liar.
In the future, I'm afraid that I will never be able to face Ai Xin again.
