Cheng Lie didn't hesitate and picked up the phone.

"Hello, is it Miss Tang Xiaotang?" came the voice of a slightly lame middle-aged foreign woman on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Lie was surprised: "I am her husband, may I ask who you are?"

"Are you...... Miss Tang's husband?" The foreign woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be even more surprised than him, she seemed to whisper a few words in English to the person next to her, and then said to Cheng Lie, "Excuse me, please wait a moment, can you?"

"Okay. ”

In a hospital room in Sweden, a foreign woman walked to the bedside, leaned into the ear of the old man who was dying on the hospital bed, and whispered about the situation in front of her.

The old man was wheezing with difficulty in his oxygen mask, his body was thin, his white hair was disheveled, as if all his flesh had been squeezed dry, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and only a pair of eyes were still showing a little of the old look.

"Yes...... It's Liezi......" The old man listened to the woman's words, as if he remembered something, and a smile appeared on his pale and haggard, wrinkled face.

"Cell phone...... Give me. He gasped for breath as he struggled to utter slurred syllables.

I really didn't expect that at the end of his life, the last person to talk to him would be that child.

Could it be that this is the arrangement of fate?

He sighed slightly in his heart......

In the process of the young master's growth, he saw Cheng Lie who was with his young master several times at different times.

In my impression, that child has been very smart and agile since he was a child, with a pair of sharp eyes, and he has always had a clear goal in speaking and doing things, when he first saw him, Cheng Lie and the young master were only in their teens, but the little boy who was a little silent and steady compared to the young master left a very deep impression on him.

As friends, the two of them are a very suitable partner.

Moving and quiet, one naughty and the other steady, in their teenage years, they spent countless brilliant and interesting times together.

He remembered very well that at that time, every time Pei Yuansheng came home, the name he mentioned the most was "Cheng Lie". This stupid boy even said with a look of chagrin why Liezi is not a girl, otherwise he would be able to marry Liezi home as a wife and be together for the rest of his life.

Creation makes people, and when he grows up, the young master never wants to pay his heart to any woman because he knows that his illness is difficult to cure, but on the contrary, he fell in love with Tang Xiao-

It was the wife of his good brother Cheng Lie, and Uncle Yan knew very well in his heart that they could not have any results.

It's just that he also knows very well that that woman is kind-hearted and will never let go of the seriously ill young master.

He has guarded the young master all his life, watching this child grow up little by little, he has fulfilled his promise to the woman he loves, but in the end, he still can't watch him achieve happiness with his own eyes.

Mu Zihao is the person he trained single-handedly, with Mu Zihao staying by the young master's side, he is relieved, he doesn't dare to hide any news about the young master.

Uncle Yan knew through Mu Zihao that his young master's health was deteriorating, and if he didn't accept the heart exchange operation, I was afraid that time was really running out.

Uncle Yan didn't want him to leave this world at such a young age, although he knew that his young master was suffering from illness every day.

But he hasn't gotten love yet, he hasn't really had a happy time, is he going to leave this world like this?

Uncle Yan has never gotten it in his life, but he hopes that the young master of his family can get it.

He thought that for the sake of the young master, he had to be selfish again.

When his titular wife, Lina, put the phone to his lips, a slight smile broke out on his pale chapped lips.

He stretched out his trembling fingers, trying to remove the oxygen mask that covered his mouth and nose, muffling his voice.

"No...... No, you can't do that......" Lena hurriedly tried to stop his irrational move.

Silly Linna, did she think that as long as he wore this oxygen mask, he would not die?

Perhaps the people around him thought that he would be able to survive like the previous few times, and Lina also told her that in a few days, all the flowers planted in the garden at home would bloom, and they would take him back to see it when the time came.

He could imagine the beauty of those flowers in full bloom, but he knew in his heart that he no longer had this opportunity.

He was aware of death, he seemed to be able to see the huge black scythe hanging above his head, his life would be harvested by death, he didn't feel pain, he still felt regret.

Yesterday Lena even asked him if he wanted to take another look at that woman - Lena always thought about him, she knew that he had loved that woman all his life, and hoped to help him fulfill his wish when his time was short, but what Lena didn't know was that he hadn't seen that woman in years.

When you are young, love is an impulse, and when you are old, love is a faith.

When man's life is coming to an end, he no longer expects anything from the love he has never received in this life.

Even if he looked at her again and chatted with her via video, he felt unnecessary.

The only thing he couldn't worry about was that woman's child, who he had taken care of all his life and regarded as his own little master.

His eyes were fixed on the phone in front of him, and then, pointing to his oxygen mask with a trembling finger, he urged Linna with his eyes to help him get the obstruction out of the way.

Helpless tears welled up in Lina's gray-green eyes, and she looked at him beggingly, hoping that he would not do such a thing.

However, his gaze could not have been more determined.

Even, for the first time, this old man, who was always gentle, glared at her with an almost angry look.

Lina was frightened, she shook her head, tears rolling down the snow-white sheet like broken beads, and then, taking a deep breath, she helped him remove the oxygen mask covering his mouth and nose with a shaky hand under his determined gaze.

In an instant, Uncle Yan felt a kind of freedom.

His eyes were fixed on Linna's mobile phone that was at his mouth, and his eyes became burning, and he suddenly glowed with wisdom.

His emaciated body was rejuvenated.

He heard his own voice coming out of his throat, a little dry, but it sounded normal.

"Mr. Cheng, hello, I am the housekeeper of the Pei family, and I have a few important words to say to your lady now. ”

"I'm sorry, she can't answer the phone right now. Cheng Lie's steady voice came from the mobile phone, "Uncle Yan, are you okay?"

Uncle Yan smiled, this kid is still so sensible.

But he didn't answer his question, he just said hesitantly: "Is it inconvenient for Miss Tang to answer the phone? ”

He deliberately used the title "Miss Tang" instead of "Mrs. Cheng".

"Okay, please. Cheng Lie's voice did not show the slightest emotion, and the young man was as polite and restrained as before.

Uncle Yan smiled and gasped slightly, his body was very tired, and it was gradually difficult to breathe, but his spirit was very excited.

Like a candle about to burn out, he was trying his best to burn the last of his life.

His voice was gentle and polite, and as he had done before, he said to the young man on the other end of the line, "What I have to say is—smile, you must remember to keep the secret between you and my young master. ”

He paused, grabbed the sheet at his side with his hand, and kept his voice steady and powerful, "And- Xiaoxiao, you have to remember what you promised me, my young master, I will leave it to you." Even if you don't know your mind all the time, I won't blame you, because for you, my young master is willing to give his life, isn't your life saved by him? Even if it's for the sake of saving your life, you must remember not to be sorry for the young master. ”

He didn't let himself think about how the young man on the other end of the line would feel when he heard these words, his time was running out—

"Smile, Jade Cicada...... It is the heirloom of my family, and I swore to my father that in the future I would pass it on to my wife, and then from my wife to my daughter-in-law. ”

He seemed to be really talking to Tang Xiao, and he seemed to see the picture of the young master and Tang Xiao holding a wedding in the church.

"Xiaoxiao, your marriage is involuntary, but, you know, my young master can give you the most complete love, and ...... The most romantic wedding. ”

He gasped uncontrollably, and he knew he was going to die.

"Smile, promise me...... Let him live well, let him be happy...... Sooner or later you will know that you ...... You love him, you just ...... There was no chance to choose ......"

"Uncle Yan," the young man on the other end of the phone finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, "That's enough, let's stop here." ”

The old man who was lying on the edge of the bed and began to cough had a smile on his face, and he said cruelly: "Mr. Cheng, I'm going to die, the above words, are ...... My last words, you...... Be sure to convey ......"

"Drip-"

The instruments in the room let out a piercing scream, and the ECG finally became a straight line without ups and downs.

The woman's screams and whimperes rang out, and soon, the phone was hastily hung up.

In the corridor outside the VIP ward of the Chengbei Military Region Hospital, Cheng Lie clutched the mobile phone in his hand tightly, his lips pursed tightly, and his dark eyes revealed anger that could not be concealed.

The words that Uncle Yan said, every word and sentence, were like a sharp knife, viciously plunged into his heart.

Between them...... What kind of secret is there?

What kind of agreement does she have with Uncle Yan? No...... It must be more than what she told him.

Did he save her life?

Scold......

What made him unbearable the most was Uncle Yan's sentence - "She just didn't have a chance to choose".

If she had the opportunity to choose, would she not hesitate to choose him?

Cheng Lie knew very well that at the beginning, Tang Xiao didn't like him, perhaps, in Tang Xiao's mind, Pei Yuansheng was more like the type she liked.

It was he who rudely snatched her back, forcibly made her his wife, and went to great lengths to get her used to him and fall in love with him.

Uncle Yan was right, she had no choice at all.

Cheng Lie's clenched fist loosened little by little, and he turned around again to look at the city that had lit up in the distance.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, he subconsciously wanted to find a cigarette, only to find that the cigarette case was empty.

Inside a café down the street.

"Zhang Hao, I really need money, can you lend me a little?" I swear, I will definitely pay you back ......as soon as possible" Tang Mi blushed a little face, holding the steaming coffee cup in front of him with both hands, leaning forward, looking at the man in front of him with great longing.

She herself couldn't remember which of her ex-boyfriends this was, she only remembered that his family was very rich, and when she fell in love with him, he was quite generous to her.

Zhang Hao was wearing a black leather jacket, his short hair was dyed blonde, his appearance was quite passable, but his skin was quite oily, and his eyes had been staring at Tang Mi's chest since he sat down.

"Oh, Mi Mi, what are you polite to me?" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Isn't it just a little money? Is it a limited edition bag? Or do you want to buy a car? You know, I have always liked you very much, what do you need, of course I want to try my best to meet you." ”

"Really?" Tang Mi's eyes widened, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Thank you so much, but I'm not going to buy a bag, I'm ...... It's my dad's hospital that has a little problem, Zhang Hao, are you really willing to help me?"

She looked at the man in front of her expectantly.

"Of course, of course I'm willing to help you. Zhang Hao, who had been leaning on the back of the chair, sat up slightly straight, he looked at the clothes Tang Mi was wearing today, and said a little complainingly, "Mi Mi, has life been too difficult lately? I remember that your taste was not so bad before, look at it, what kind of thing are you wearing now? Tsk, what a waste of this pair of good breasts......

Tang Mi was stunned, looked down at her chest, she was wearing an ordinary white turtleneck sweater today, with a casual beige gray windbreaker on the outside, which was indeed very conservative for her who used to dress sexy, but since she ran the bubble tea shop, she has become accustomed to this simple and comfortable dressing style.

However, this is clearly not the time to talk about clothing.

Her father, Tang Zhentian, had another problem in the hospital.

I thought that the money given by my sister a while ago, plus the money that my father scraped together, and the money from the sale of some valuable things in the family, had been mortgaged on real estate, and all of them added up to always survive.

Who knows, Dad's side has just been calm for a few days, and new news broke out immediately.

It turned out that just a few days ago, someone claimed that the investor wanted to take a large amount of money to invest in Dad's hospital, and Dad agreed without thinking about it for too long when he needed the money the most.

However, no one knows what happened, just yesterday, the investor suddenly disappeared, and his father couldn't find him anyway, and after the other party lost contact, more creditors came to the door.

Tang Mi couldn't understand what was going on, what was going on in the middle, maybe even her father, who was full of medicine, couldn't figure out how he was deceived.

All in all, the reality they need to face is that their family is completely out of money, and if they don't think about it, not only will the hospital not be able to keep it, the house and car will not be saved, and the family will have to bear a huge debt.

Mom was on the verge of going crazy, and she even threatened to jump from the upper floors after dropping everything she could at home.

Dad would just drag his tired body out to find someone to borrow money and come back drunk.

Tang Mi had no choice but to open the mobile phone address book and call one by one to borrow money.
