464. I don't want your money!
Tang Xiao's dark black pupils contracted in an instant, she subconsciously clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, sat on the bed with the quilt and looked ahead a little blankly, but her thoughts drifted away unconsciously.
Family portraits?
When the family photo was taken, she was still very young, and her mother at that time was young, gentle and beautiful, and when she stood next to her father, her face was full of happiness of being pampered.
At that time, Dad was still very young, he didn't become serious, he didn't become silent, at that time, he was not the director of a hospital, Dad was just a father, and he even smiled wickedly from time to time, and put his bearded face on her face to tease her.
It was the only family photo that the three of them had ever taken together.
After her mother left, she used to look for this family photo like crazy, but she couldn't find it anyway.
It turns out that this photo has been with Dad all along?
Time flies so fast, and before you know it, Mom has been gone for so many years.
In her memory, her appearance was only a vague shadow in Tang Xiao's mind.
She was so cruel that she didn't leave a single photo for her. Tang Xiao knew that her mother was afraid that she would miss her too much, but she didn't want such cruel gentleness.
She just wanted to see what her mother looked like.
"Tang Mi, is that photo still there? Can I ...... See?" Tang smiled for a long time before recovering his voice.
"That photo ......" was stared at by her sister Tang Xiao expectantly, Tang Mi was inexplicably a little flustered, she bit her lip, and said slowly, "Was...... Teared up by my mom ......"
"Torn?" Tang Xiao asked in disbelief.
It was as if she had just glimpsed a little fire in the dark night, but she couldn't wait for her to get closer, which meant that all the fire she hoped for had been extinguished by someone, and the disappointment in Tang Xiao's heart could be imagined.
At this moment, Cheng Lie on the side held her hand tightly holding the sheet, and the warm big hand wrapped her cold little hand, as if telling her not to be sad that everything was with him, but how could Tang Xiao at this moment not be sad or sad?
Tang Mi's heart was weak, and he said with a dodgy look: "Sister, my mother didn't mean it......"
Tang Xiao's voice was very quiet, as if there was no emotion, but in that quiet, there was a heartbreaking despair: "Is it really not intentional?"
"......" Faced with such a sister, Tang Mi couldn't allow himself to continue lying.
She finally realized that from her mother's standpoint, even if there were a thousand and ten thousand reasons to tear up the photo that her father hid in her wallet, this matter was too much for her sister.
My sister won't forgive my mother.
"I'm sorry," Tang Mi bit his lip and said, "It's Dad who shouldn't have let Mom see that photo...... Mom is so sad, sister, forgive my mother, she is also a woman, how can she bear that her husband cares about other women in his heart?"
"Heh......" Tang smiled suddenly, "How did your mother marry your father back then, don't you know?
Tang Mi's eyes widened, but at this time, Tang Xiao suddenly stopped her voice, she realized that she shouldn't take her hatred for Li Yan on Tang Mi, in that case, what is the difference between her and Li Yan who takes her hatred for her mother out of herself?
āā¦ā¦ Forget it, let's not talk about it. Tang Xiao looked out the window boringly, the sky was still gray, and in the drizzle, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a veil. After all, it's not a lake or a mountain, there is only a steel forest here, whether it is in the rain or fog, there is no beauty at all.
I thought that Tang Mi's arrival would make Tang Xiao's mood a little easier, but I didn't expect Tang Xiao to fall into a low mood, Cheng Lie regretted a little, and he knew that Tang Xiao should not have been allowed to contact anyone related to her past "home".
Tang Mi was still feeling unhappy for her mother because her sister refused to drink the soup made by her mother, but she didn't expect to accidentally say that her mother tore up the photo, which made her sister Tang Xiao's mood suddenly low.
She is also grown up now, and she knows that it is an indisputable fact that her mother intervened in the relationship between her sister's mother and father back then, although this matter has nothing to do with herself, but she no longer has the face to fight for her mother.
Although his brother-in-law Cheng Lie didn't speak, the strong unwelcoming aura exuded by him also made Tang Mi feel like a pins and needles, in this luxurious ward, her sister is the real master, her brother-in-law loves her sister so much, how can he tolerate her to continue to stay here and make her sister unhappy?
Forced by the situation, even if Tang Mi was unwilling, he had to get up and say goodbye, his brother-in-law didn't keep him, and his sister didn't say much, Tang Mi came to this trip because her mother had high hopes, but she got nothing, and when she walked out of the door, her steps were inevitably much heavier.
Tang Xiao watched Tang Mi walk out step by step, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Cheng Lie: "Lie, I have a few words I want to explain to Tang Mi alone, okay?"
Cheng Lie's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, wanting to remind Tang Xiao not to have too much to do with the people in that "family", but after all, it was also where Tang Xiao grew up, and no one knew better than herself what kind of decision to make.
He should not and could not interfere with her in the name of love.
"Well, I'll wait in the living room outside. He shook her hand and said uneasily, "Call me at any time for something, do you know?"
"What can I do?" Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Lie, who treated himself like a child, and under the other party's serious eyes, he had to restrain his smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ā
Cheng Lie walked out quickly and said a few words to Tang Mi who had just gone out, and soon, Tang Mi came to Tang Xiao with a puzzled face.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" her eyes were timid, looking like a little rabbit, perhaps because of her brother-in-law's relationship, she always felt a little inexplicably scared of her sister now.
"You just said that there was a problem with Dad's hospital?" Tang Xiao asked lightly with no expression on his face.
"Hmm......" Tang Mi lowered his head, looked at his toes, and replied in a low voice, "Dad has never begged anyone for most of his life, but recently, Dad has been borrowing money everywhere every day...... Sister, dad is a doctor, how can he have the mind to do business, even if he becomes the dean, the family does not have much savings over the years, plus he has an upright personality, he will never please others, my mother said that the friends around my father have long been offended by him, and there are too few people willing to lend him money...... Moreover, even if you borrow all the money, you won't be able to pay it back in the future. ā
"What are you going to do?" Tang Xiao's calm voice came.
How dare Tang Mi say that her mother told her that her brother-in-law has money and hopes that her brother-in-law can help, she only said that she planned to sell her store and help her father fill in a little hole, and said that her mother was also trying to find a way to borrow a little from friends and relatives. In short, they have no better way than to borrow money.
Tang Xiao listened, but there was still no expression on his face.
She knows her father Tang Zhentian very well, he has no concept of money, he is focused on medicine, and he doesn't even know how much money he can earn every year, the money in the family should be in the hands of Tang Mi's mother Li Yan, Tang Zhentian had an accident, it is still unknown whether Li Yan is willing to take the money out, with Tang Zhentian's character, there is really no other way than to borrow money.
But what about after borrowing the money? Who will pay it back, and how will it be repaid? In the second half of their lives, will Tang Zhentian, Li Yan, and Tang Mi not eat or drink, and there will be no expenses?
How much money can Tang Mi's bubble tea shop sell for? After selling, what does Tang Mi do to make a living?
If Tang Mi didn't have a job of her own at all, maybe her mother Li Yan would force her to marry again, right?
Tang Xiao didn't want to watch Tang Mi finally come to that point, so she made a decision almost without much hesitation.
"Tang Mi, help me open the second drawer of the bedside table. Tang said with a smile.
Although Tang Mi had doubts in his heart, he still obediently complied.
When he opened the drawer, he saw a white Gucci wallet lying inside, the style was very new, and Tang Mi recognized that it was a limited edition that had just been out for a few months.
Tang Mi's eyes staring at the wallet revealed longing, but Tang Xiao didn't feel anything about the wallet that Cheng's mother bought and threw to her when she accompanied Cheng Lie's mother to go shopping.
"If you like it, you can use it later. It was still a faint tone.
Tang Mi was stunned, blushed and said, "Sister, I don't want ...... I still have ...... at home."
"This one is different, isn't it?" Tang Xiao smiled, softened his tone and said, "If you like it, take it, I won't need it anyway." ā
Tang Mi wanted to refuse, she felt that she shouldn't take her sister's things, no matter how much she didn't need it, it was hers and not her own, she should live with dignity and exchange her own efforts for what she wanted, but how much effort did she have to put in to buy such a wallet?
It's frustrating......
In this embarrassing frustration, Tang Mi did not say anything more about refusal.
If you don't speak, you accept it.
"Open your wallet. Tang Xiao looked at Tang Mi with a complicated expression and continued to say slowly.
Tang Mi obediently and self-deprecating opened the wallet.
There were several cards inside, one of which she recognized as black. That black / card, it must have been used by my brother-in-law for my sister, right?
"The bank card of the X bank in the outermost layer of the wallet is my previous salary card, which contains the salary I saved in the past few years, and the password is the tail number of my mobile phone, you can take it, just say that you sold the money from the bubble tea shop and your own savings, my money is not much, but it can help a little bit. You still keep the store for yourself, don't sell it, and don't let your mother know. ā
Tang Xiao was physically and mentally exhausted, and after saying this, he was a little lacking in qi, his breath was unstable, and his voice was weak.
Tang Mi saw that her sister looked good at first, and thought that there was nothing wrong with her sister, but then she felt that her sister looked like she had been hit hard. Especially looking at her sister's obviously bloodless lips and undulating chest, she felt a little panicked in her heart.
"Sister...... IāI don't want your money. Tang Mi hung his head and said, "I still sold the store, there are still some bags and jewelry at home, I have also sold them all, and I can still sell them for a little money." ā
"Why not?" Tang Xiao laughed angrily at Tang Mi, "You have to sell your last hope in life, and then be at the mercy of your mother, right?"
"I didn't mean that......" Tang Mi quickly shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Sister, listen to me...... I won't marry casually, my mother won't marry me if she forces me to marry, I just think ......"
"What do you think?"
"I can't tell, I just ...... I just don't feel like I can take your money. Tang Mi had a feeling that if she took her sister's money, her sister would have nothing to do with her father's debts in the future, or the mess at home, although she also thought that her brother-in-law's family was so rich at first, and it was right to help the family, but when her sister really offered to help, she inexplicably didn't want to involve her sister.
"Don't fight with me, take it. Tang Xiao said helplessly. She hugged the quilt a little tiredly and leaned against the head of the bed, and asked herself in her heart, didn't she say that she was good and hard-hearted? Why did she still have a soft heart?
Her intellect told her that she shouldn't meddle, however, her emotions drove her to make that decision.
It was her father after all, and it was her sister after all.
Even if they had all hurt her, even if she had sworn not to be a member of the Tang family again, how could she ignore it when he really had something?
"Tang Mi, listen, you can look for me for those things at home, but you can't find your brother-in-law, no matter under any circumstances, you can't. Tang Xiao said word by word, "Your mother is the same, don't think that if I marry into a family, I can get into the light of a family, or take advantage of anything, I Tang Xiao has all his savings in the past few years here, and I will bring it back to you today, but I will repay my father's nurturing grace, and I can't help if there is anything in the future." ā
Tang Mi was so shocked that she wanted to defend her mother, but when the words came to her mouth, she found that she had nothing to discern.
What my sister said was the truth, didn't her mother mean that she wanted her brother-in-law to contribute to the family's debts and help the family?
But with my mother's character, can I really be satisfied as long as my brother-in-law contributes once?
Tang Mi didn't dare to think about it further. She suddenly felt that if she really listened to her mother and married a rich man, most of the things she would have to face would be a mother who was overly demanding and took greed for granted.
The room was warm, but she felt a chill crawl down her back.
"Sister, I know. When she raised her head again, she understood her sister's good intentions for herself, and her sister's understanding of her mother was probably no less than her own.
"Go back. Tang Xiao sighed, looking at Tang Mi with an immature face tiredly, she didn't have full confidence in whether she could do the rest of the thing.
After all, in front of Li Yan, Tang Mi's success rate in lying is not high.
"Sister, I will come to see you often. Tang Mi said with an oath.
"Hmm......" Tang Xiao closed his eyes, a little drowsy.
It's really hard to get through the rainy day......
As soon as Tang Mi left with his front foot, Cheng Lie walked in from the living room with his back foot.
What I saw at a glance was that I didn't know whether she had fallen asleep or fainted, she was lying on the plain white bed with a white face, obviously she had only put on light makeup in the afternoon, but now she still looked very bad, a pair of beautiful long eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her thick eyelashes trembled uneasily, as if she was enduring some unknown pain.
