In the military vehicle driving to the sanatorium, Cheng Lie sat in the back and closed his eyes and said nothing.

Li Su peeked at Cheng Lie from the rearview mirror from time to time along the way, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Why do you feel that the boss has a particularly bad face today?

Could it be...... Really uncomfortable, right?

Li Su was anxious, for fear that something would really happen to Cheng Lie, and he was speeding along the way, but fortunately, in the dead of night, the direction to the sanatorium was still unimpeded.

drove to the downstairs of Tang Xiao's dormitory in the sanatorium as fast as possible, Li Su parked the car, turned around and called softly: "Boss, it's here." ”

Cheng Yeol still had his eyes closed and did not react.

Usually, as soon as the car stops, the boss should wake up.

Li Su was so nervous that he was about to sweat.

At this moment, Cheng Lie slowly opened his eyes.

Li Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Lie looked at him, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were a little trance, very different from usual.

It took about a minute for Cheng Lie's eyes to regain clarity.

"It's here. ”

"Yes, boss, go downstairs. ”

He looked upstairs and saw the lights on in his sister-in-law's house, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is waiting at home, I seem to smell the smell of food." ”

The corners of Cheng Lie's mouth hooked up a smile.

Li Su got out of the car and helped Cheng Lie pull the car door.

Everything is business as usual.

But the accident happened unexpectedly-

The moment Cheng Lie got out of the car, the long body shook, and then fell down.

"Boss!!"

At the same time, Tang Xiao was pouring the freshly stewed soup out of the purple casserole.

This soup is the first time she has made authentic Cantonese soup, and she specially learned it from a doctor in a nursing home whose hometown is Guangzhou.

I heard that this kind of soup is the most replenishing, and he is also very particular about the ingredients, Tang Xiao also specially ordered some soup ingredients shipped from Guangzhou online.

It took three hours to simmer before it was ready.

The fragrance wafted all over the house, and Tang Xiaoxiao thought with a smile that when Cheng Lie came back, he would definitely praise her so much that he couldn't stop praising her.

She could imagine Cheng Lie praising her-

"Why is my little baby so powerful?"

"It's so fragrant, how can it be so fragrant?"

"Laugh at you, you're a fairy, right? ”

……

"Haha......"

While thinking about the rainbow fart that Cheng Yeol might put on himself, he couldn't help but laugh.

I laughed to myself for a long time, I don't know why, I was inexplicably a little panicked-

What time is it, why haven't you come back yet?

It's not like his style.

It stands to reason that more than an hour ago I said that I had set off, and now I should have arrived.

Even if Li Su drove a little faster, it should have been there for a while.

Tang Xiao walked to the living room with a spoon of soup, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand had pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, and the minute hand was almost half a circle.

It's not dinner anymore.

At this point, it should be said that it is a supper.

Tang Xiao also fried a few dishes, which were also cold at this time, and it was estimated that they would have to be heated.

Halfway through, she was hungry and didn't want to eat alone, so she ate a few small biscuits to satisfy her hunger.

Just to wait for Cheng Lie to come back and eat together, she is still hungry.

Tang Xiao pouted depressedly, thinking to himself, when he comes back later, no matter how much he farts to himself, he will punish him.

Hmph, who told him to come back so late?

Tang Xiao stood in place for a while, and suddenly thought again, is there something wrong with Cheng Lie, he didn't look at his phone and missed it-

In fact, the last time I looked at my phone, that is, before the soup, it was only five minutes away.

But Tang Xiao immediately ran to the sofa and picked up his mobile phone from the coffee table to check.

In the WeChat chat box with Cheng Lie, the last message was sent to Cheng Lie fifteen minutes ago-

"Where have you been, dear?"

Cheng Lie never replied.

"What's the situation, this is ......?"

Tang Xiao muttered, took out a piece of paper and put it on the coffee table, put the soup spoon in his hand on it, and then picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Lie.

"Hey, hey, it's almost there. ”

Still no reply.

"Cheng Lie, call Cheng Lie. ”

"Hmph, I'm angry if I don't talk anymore. ”

“？？”

“…… I'll die if I ignore me. ”

"Friendly reminder: your little baby is angry, even 100 kisses can't make her angry!"

“…… What about you?"

"Are ??? alright?"

……

Tang Xiao used to be a person with few words, and she didn't know when she could say this to Cheng Lie.

Maybe it's because Cheng Lie talks less than her.

However, what happened to this person today, and why hasn't he replied to the message?

The fear that Cheng Lie suddenly went out on a mission and then disappeared came at her again.

Tang Xiao panicked.

He hasn't drunk the soup in the pot yet!

How do you say that you can just go?

Thinking of this, I felt a grievance in my heart, my nose was counted, my throat was stalked, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Cheng Lie, you guy is really bad!

I don't want you anymore.

Hum.

Tang smiled and hated, reaching out and vigorously wiping away the tears from his face.

At this moment, the mobile phone placed next to it suddenly vibrate.

Tang Xiao trembled, quickly reached out to pick it up, and picked up the phone without seeing the caller's name.

"Cheng Lie, when are you coming back!"

“…… Sister, what's wrong, hasn't my brother-in-law come home yet?"

There was a little surprised voice from her sister Tang Mi on her mobile phone.

Tang Xiao was silent: "......"

Once again, my heart was filled with disappointment.

Snorting and taking a deep breath, Tang Xiao tried his best to steady.

After all, she didn't want to expose her weakness in front of her sister at all.

At this time, another sentence came to mind-

Love gives a person armor and weakness.

That's right, Cheng Lie is her only weakness in Tang Xiao.

If she hadn't fallen in love with Cheng Lie, she Tang Xiao would still be the Tang Xiao who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

She Tang Xiao will never shed a tear for anyone.

It's because I love it so much that I'm so afraid of losing.

"Sister, why don't you speak...... Are you alright?"

"It's fine. ”

Tang Xiao confirmed that there was no difference in his voice, and then continued: "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with the call?"

"Well, something, but ......"

Tang Mi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? ”

"Sister, I didn't want to talk to you because I thought this incident would affect your mood, but after thinking about it, let's say it, after all, that's our common father. ”

Tang Mi's voice was full of helplessness.

"What's wrong with him?"

It's about Tang Zhentian, Tang Xiao doesn't want to know, he has to know.

Just like Tang Mi said, after all, he is still her father.

Even if she has cut off with him, the blood is involved, and it is endless.

"Actually, Dad didn't say anything, it was my mother who called me and said that Dad was about to celebrate his birthday, and Dad meant to have a big banquet in the hotel, but, sister, you know, where does Dad have any money now? The problem is that he loves face very ......."

Tang Mi was also a little angry as he spoke.

"He could have celebrated his birthday, but he had to do it, saying that he was also the director of a private hospital, and he had to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. ”

"He's fifty years old......"

Tang smiled and muttered.

I was suddenly stunned.

Memory, his father Tang Zhentian is still young and unsmiling, but handsome and straight.

That's what his mother looked like when he was still there.

After his mother left, she seldom looked at him directly.

He, too, seldom looked at her in the eye.

But whenever the two face each other, they are always arguing.

So, after leaving that home, as time went by, her impression of him was not as bad as before.

"yes, Dad is fifty. My mom said that in fact, this is not a false year, it should have been last year, but at that time, there was no accident in Dad's hospital, and it didn't pass, and this year it was finally relieved, so I had to celebrate this birthday, and how to be grand. ”

When Tang Mi said this, he was entangled for a moment, but still whispered: "Sister, actually, my mother said...... Dad seems to want you to go to his birthday party with your brother-in-law, and preferably bring your parents-in-law with you...... He told my mother that there was a row of faces, so that he could teach those who looked down on him last year to see how well his Tang Zhentian's daughter was married-"

"Huh. ”

Tang Xiao sneered.

"He's dreaming. ”

She really admired Tang Zhentian a little.

It's really a big face.

He didn't tell her to get out of the house before.

And then?

I really don't want to say anything.

"Sister...... Don't be angry, just let me say nothing, hey, Dad is really getting older and more confused. ”

"He's only fifty years old, so he's confused. ”

Tang Xiao smiled lowly, and his tone was mocking: "I think he's just greedy." ”

"Hey......"

Tang Mi sighed again.

"Sister, you shouldn't be going, right?"

"No, it won't. ”

Tang Xiao replied very simply.

Li Yan said this to Tang Mi, and asked Tang Mi to tell herself, isn't it just to let herself get the money out.

Could it be that after so many years, Li Yan still doesn't know her character, thinking that she will really go to Tang Zhentian's birthday banquet?

She knows Lee Yeon as well as Lee Yeon knows her.

"Mi Mi, did your mother say how much it costs. ”

Tang Xiao asked bluntly.

"Sister, my mother said...... The hotel that Dad booked was very expensive, and the pomp and circumstance were very large, and it was estimated that he couldn't get off the ground without 300,000 yuan. ”

Tang Mi was embarrassed and said: "What should I do, why spend so much money on my birthday, or ...... I'll let Mom persuade Dad again. ”

"Three hundred thousand?"

Tang Xiao was also very surprised when he heard this.

She doesn't have that much in a year's salary.

"Well, three hundred thousand. ”

Tang Mi thought for a while and said, "Sister, let's share this money equally, I also know that you don't like to spend your brother-in-law's money." ”

"Good. ”

Tang Xiao didn't say anything polite to Tang Mi, and asked her to take out 300,000 at once, but she really didn't have it.

However, where did Tang Mi get so much money?

"Mi Mi, how can you have so much money?"

"I still have some savings, after all, those boyfriends are generous. ”

Tang Mi smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "I know, I don't have the same self-reliance as my sister, in my sister's eyes, I am depraved, but I can't help it, I open a bubble tea shop to make money like before, I'm too tired." I may be used to enjoying happiness and suffering. ”
