83. Retribution

Deng Jiaxiang suddenly mentioned that he was going to divorce, which really surprised Nanxi.

How many days have he and Pei Jiaoqian been married? Isn't it child's play to divorce so soon?

But after thinking about it, the relationship between him and his mother-in-law became like this, one was admitted to the hospital and the other was in prison. If the family is like this, it is indeed difficult for the marriage to continue.

For him, what has happened in recent months is like a farce in his life. He went on the stage with joy, thinking that he could control the play. Unexpectedly, after going on stage, he stumbled and did not reach the end, so he withdrew due to injury.

Deng Jiaxiang lowered his head, looked at his legs, and said, "Things have reached this point, divorce is inevitable." It's just that I won't cheapen their house, and if I don't meet my requirements, I will definitely not sign...... I need a good lawyer......"

Nanxi really wanted to ask him, what kind of requirements did he have? Are you planning to knock the Pei family hard? When did he start to become so shameless? Where is the hot-blooded and idealistic man who was with her before? Is it because she has always been confused? Or did the man get too fast?

"You want me to help you find a good lawyer, don't you?" Nanxi has no heart or ability to judge this man, his personal life is no longer within the scope of her interference, considering that he has indeed helped a lot in the matter of Xiaohe, so if he asks for her now, as long as it is not too much, she can help.

Deng Jiaxiang nodded: "Yes, I need to find the best lawyer." โ€

"Okay, I'll help you with this, and when I leave the hospital in a while, I'll go and help you solve the matter of hiring a lawyer. However, I still want to remind you that the grievances and contradictions between you and the Pei family, the fault is not all Zhao Xinyao, just stop in moderation, don't do too much about some things, it's not good for you. Nanxi couldn't help it, so she persuaded him.

But as soon as Deng Jiaxiang heard the name Zhao Xinyao, his eyes immediately flashed with hatred: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" I can't do enough for the people in their family. I can't fight these beatings in vain, Zhao Xinyao has to pay for it! โ€

"What are you going to do?" Nanxi frowned.

"This time I will bite her to death, and I won't let her taste the taste of prison for a few years, and I won't be surnamed Deng! And her daughter, that little โ–กโ–ก! Wait until I expose her ugly deeds and see which man dares to marry her in the future! Deng Jiaxiang cursed through gritted teeth.

"The police will deal with these things, and all you can do is confess truthfully, what else can you do?" Nanxi really didn't like to listen to him, so he muttered in a low voice.

Deng Jiaxiang clenched his fists: "I have to be compensated for the injuries I have suffered." Pei Jiaoqian wants to divorce, and she has to pay the price! โ€

Nanxi really didn't know what else to say to him, so he was silent.

At this time, the nurse came in to give Deng Jiaxiang an injection and change the dressing, and Nanxi stood by the window and looked out the window.

At the entrance of the hospital, there are many media reporters squatting there, waiting for the latest news from the police. When she came just now, she drove directly into the underground garage to avoid the attention of those people. Otherwise, she will definitely be surrounded and chased and questioned by those media.

She looked up at her watch, it was half past nine in the morning.

Do the math, the time to get on the plane is exactly ten hours. If he really changed planes halfway, he shouldn't have been able to get to the UK at this time.

Knowing that this was the case, she still took out her mobile phone and dialed the number that was far away.

As expected, Lu Zaiyuan's phone was still turned off.

Nanxi's heart seemed to be scratching a kitten, and she was in a hurry. She always had a bad premonition, as if Lu Zaoyuan returned to England this time, and she would never come back.

She was anxious when she suddenly heard someone talking: "Mr. Deng, is the family here?" โ€

When she turned her head, it was a middle-aged man in a white coat, who should be Deng Jiaxiang's attending doctor.

The doctor walked to the edge of the hospital bed and looked down at Deng Jiaxiang: "Didn't you say that the family would arrive this morning?" Is anyone coming? โ€

Deng Jiaxiang glanced at Nanxi, swallowed his saliva nervously, stretched out his hand to her, and said to the doctor: "Here, it's her." โ€

Ay? What's going on?

Nanxi hurriedly waved his hand at the doctor: "I am not his family, if the doctor has anything important to discuss with the family, I can inform his family on my behalf."

"Don't!" Deng Jiaxiang shouted to stop her, "Don't alarm my parents, if they see me like this, they will collapse." โ€

Nanxi suddenly remembered Deng Jiaxiang's parents, an old couple living in a small town in the far south.

It was two simple and kind old men who opened a cake shop in the town and sold all kinds of delicious Chinese cakes. They are proud of their son, they get up early and work hard, and with their modest income, they raised Deng Jiaxiang for him to finish college.

In the past, Nanxi would follow Deng Jiaxiang to that town every year to visit the Deng family's parents, the old couple liked Nanxi very much, saying that Nanxi was the kind of girl who was particularly kind, and a man who married a daughter-in-law must marry a good heart, so that life can go well.

After staying at their house for a few days, the old couple will try their best to change tricks to make food for Nanxi, and they will bring a large bag with them before leaving.

Nanxi once sincerely invited the old couple to come to D City to play, but they refused to leave the town for anything. Deng Jiaxiang's father said: "The cake house is inseparable from people, and when the two of us leave, the cake house will be closed." โ€

"Then rest for two days, you two have worked hard for most of your lives, and you should rest for two days, go with us for a few days, rest, and come back to open again, isn't it the same?" Nanxi replied with a smile.

Mother Deng shook her head: "No, stop for one day, and make one less day." While we are still in good health, we can buy a house for Jiaxiang in the big city after a few more years. โ€

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about the house, although my parents didn't leave any huge wealth, they left me a house, which is very large. You two can live together, and you can all live there. Nanxi said.

Father Deng immediately waved his hand: "Our family has a daughter-in-law, of course our family wants to buy the house." If Jiaxiang lives in your house after you get married, won't it become a blessing? โ€

Thinking of this pair of kind old men, Nanxi's heart was sour.

She let out a sigh, and her face softened.

Deng Jiaxiang saw that her facial lines had softened, and immediately seized the opportunity to say: "It's just an operation, don't alarm my parents, I listen to the doctor, you can sign on behalf of my parents." โ€

"Surgery?" Nanxi was puzzled, "Haven't you all finished the operation?" What other surgeries are needed? โ€

"That's right." The doctor spoke, "After Mr. Deng was admitted to the hospital, we did a comprehensive physical examination for him, and found that there was a tumor on his kidney, which was already very large and needed immediate treatment. โ€

Nanxi was taken aback, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a long time.

Deng Jiaxiang smiled bitterly at her: "This is retribution, what do you say?" But it's also a good thing, if there is no such thing, maybe this tumor will grow bigger in my body, and then it will become a terminal disease, which is also unknown. โ€

Nanxi didn't have the heart to listen to his jokes, she relieved herself and said, "I can't sign such a big thing, because I don't have the qualifications to sign it, if you have to sign your family, you can notify Pei Jiaoqian to sign."

"Xiaoshio!" Deng Jiaxiang showed a sad expression, "I got into trouble with the Pei family like this, and you asked Pei Jiaoqian to sign for my operation?" The police don't allow anyone from the Pei family to come to see me now, even if they let Pei Jiaoqian come, she will only stab me to death, will she care if I have surgery? โ€

Nanxi was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said: "Then you can sign it yourself, in short, I can't sign, I am not qualified, and I can't afford this responsibility." โ€

The doctor frowned and said to Deng Jiaxiang: "Mr. Deng, this is not good, you should still call the family members as soon as possible to agree on a treatment plan." โ€

"Doctor" Deng Jiaxiang pursed his lips in embarrassment, "She is my family, it's just that we have some small misunderstandings and are angry with each other, let me have a good talk with her, she won't ignore me." โ€

The doctor glanced at Nanxi, shook his head, and left.

Nanxi snorted: "Deng Jiaxiang, are you a fool to be a doctor?" Everyone on the earth knows that you are the son-in-law of the Pei family. Now that you call me as a family member, what will the doctor think? โ€

"Is he only in charge of the doctor, but also in charge of the patient's family affairs?" Deng Jiaxiang replied to her.

"Then I can't sign your consent form, I can't afford it, and it's not my turn to take care of this matter. I thought you really wanted Xiaohe, and it took a long time, but it turned out that it was because you were going to have surgery, and there was a lack of someone to sign, so you called me here. As he spoke, Nanxi had already arrived at the bedside.

She took Xiaohe's hand and said, "Xiaohe, Brother Jiaxiang is tired and needs to rest, let's go home." โ€

Nanhe has been leaning on Deng Jiaxiang's side since he entered the ward. She sat quietly, sometimes picking up the magazines on the bedside table and flipping through them, sometimes turning her face and looking intently at Deng Jiaxiang and listening to her. Her face was a rare peace and satisfaction in the past few days.

Nanxi pulled her, she immediately pouted, and hid behind Deng Jiaxiang hard.

"Don't be embarrassed by Xiaohe." Deng Jiaxiang looked at Nanhe and said to Nanxi, "Even if you don't care about me, I won't care about Xiaohe, she has been frightened a lot in the past few days, don't make her unhappy anymore, just let her stay with me, anyway, there are doctors and nurses here, and even the police are guarded, it's very safe, you can rest assured." โ€

"I just brought her to meet you, I can't leave her here." Nanxi insisted and went to pull Nanhe's shoulder.

Nanhe simply fell on Deng Jiaxiang's body, hugged his waist tightly, and said that he would not leave.

"What's the matter with you?" Deng Jiaxiang was suddenly annoyed, and stretched out his hand and pushed Nanxi violently, "You hate me and annoy me, just rush at me, why are you embarrassed for your sister?" Look you scared her, you're so rough! โ€

Nanxi was accused of treating her sister roughly, so she let go.

She stood by the bed, stared at her sister for a while, and said, "No matter what, I can't leave her in the hospital, I'll go and call the doctor, give her a sedative, and get her home." โ€

"Another tranquilizer! You just get some โ–กโ–ก and poison Xiaohe directly! What are sedatives good for? Stick to the river at every turn! Why are you so ruthless? Deng Jiaxiang was furious.

"I shouldn't have brought her!" Nanxi regretted, "I should have known that this was the case!" This is the hospital! You're covered in injuries and now you're going to have surgery, can you take care of her? What if she gets lost here? โ€

"You don't know Xiaohe too well, as long as she is by my side, she is a well-behaved and good sister, I don't believe you ask her!" Deng Jiaxiang turned his head to look at Nanhe, "Xiaohe, here in Jiaxiang, you have to be obedient and obedient, don't run around, okay?" โ€

Nanhe put his head and face on Deng Jiaxiang's back and nodded vigorously.

"Look! Do you think Xiaohe doesn't understand anything? She is the one who really cares for me! She understands everything in her heart, but you don't know how to communicate with her! Deng Jiaxiang raised his chin towards Nanxi.

Nanxi blocked his chest in one breath and almost fainted!

Nanhe is her sister! She is now accused of not communicating with her sister! Can she not be depressed?

Deng Jiaxiang saw that her face was flushed, lowered his voice, and said, "Xiaoxi, you just let Xiaohe stay, even if I beg you." To say a sincere word that I am not afraid of you laughing, in this situation, I am actually quite scared in my heart. So I can understand Xiaohe, she can't see me, and she must be as panicked as I am now. Let's have two poor people as companions, and I'm better off with her. My nurse will build a bed next to me, and I won't be wronged by Xiaohe. โ€

Nanxi didn't think it was right, she was so angry that she crossed her waist and yelled at Nanhe: "Nanhe! If you don't come with me, I'll let Dr. Zhou give you an injection! โ€

Nanhe was so yelled that he trembled, hugged Deng Jiaxiang's waist harder, and began to cry.

She cried like a child, Deng Jiaxiang looked back at her, raised his eyebrows, pointed at Nanxi and shouted: "Don't lose your temper at Xiaohe!" She's just a sick child! You have a temper at me! Don't you just think that me and Xiaohe are dragging you down? You go and live your good life! I'll take care of the river in the future! The two of us will depend on each other for our lives in the future! You don't have to worry about it at all! โ€

"You nonsense! My own sister, why should you bother? Besides, you still need surgery yourself, can you take care of Xiaohe? Nanxi felt that he was very unreasonable, and couldn't help but argue.

"I don't have surgery! Anyway, the tumor grew on the renal artery, and the surgery had to cut out a kidney! It's hard to treat without surgery! I'm just dying! As long as I live for one day, I will take care of Xiaohe for one day! One day I'm dead, and you'll pick up the river again! Deng Jiaxiang suddenly went crazy, patted his legs, and shouted loudly that he was dying.

Nanxi was quiet.

The tumor grows on the renal artery, is that very strict? Is it too much to yell at someone who is seriously ill?

She was silent for two seconds, then turned and walked out of the room to the doctor's office.

She saw the middle-aged male doctor who was visiting the room just now and asked him, "Doctor, what is Deng Jiaxiang's disease?" โ€

The doctor glanced at her and said, "There is a tumor on his left renal artery, and the results of the examination will come out this afternoon, but no matter whether this tumor is benign or malignant, we must find a way to eradicate it, otherwise it will grow bigger and bigger, compress the artery, and the consequences will be very severe." โ€

"Can I have surgery to remove it?" Nan Xi asked.

"Because the tumor is long, if you have surgery, you can only cut off a kidney. If you want to save this kidney and take conservative treatment, the course of treatment will be very long and there is a possibility of recurrence. So we need to discuss with the family, what kind of treatment to take, and the family needs to sign and agree to do it. The doctor asked Nanxi.

"Can't!" Nanxi immediately denied it, "I can contact his family, but I can't make this decision on behalf of his family!" โ€

"Alright then, please do your best to contact his family." The doctor sighed, bowed his head to work, and ignored Nanxi.

Nanxi walked out of the doctor's office and returned to Deng Jiaxiang's ward. Through the glass window on the door, she looked at the two people in the hospital room.

Deng Jiaxiang leaned on the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand, reading. Nanhe sat beside him, with a cheerful and relaxed smile on his face, hugging his knees, resting his chin on his knees, and listening carefully to Deng Jiaxiang's reading.

At that moment, Nanxi had a feeling of time confusion, as if everything that had happened in the past few months was just a dream. After waking up from the dream, life is as usual, plain and smooth.

There is no betrayal, no breakup, no flash marriage, no recurrence of the old illness of my sister, everything is the same as before.

"Miss Nan, please get out of the way." A voice sounded behind Nanxi, and she looked back to see several uniformed policemen.

She realized she was blocked in the doorway and quickly dodged to the side. Several police officers looked at her at the same time, then pushed open the door and walked into the hospital room.

Nanxi stood at the door and watched a few policemen walk to the bedside. They pointed to Nanhe and said something, and Deng Jiaxiang explained it to them in a gesture. The policemen looked at Nanhe a few times and believed Deng Jiaxiang's words.

Then they sat down, took out their notebooks, and began to ask Deng Jiaxiang some questions.

Through a door, Nanxi couldn't hear what they were saying, and she wasn't interested in hearing it.

She turned and walked slowly downstairs.

In the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, there is a cold drink shop. Nanxi walked in, ordered a glass of orange juice, and sat down in a seat at the window. She didn't drink either, she just held her cheeks and looked out, and her heart was chaotic.

Ten minutes later, she pulled out her phone and dialed the number of the bakery in a small town in the Far South.

Soon, the phone was connected, and a kind voice came: "Hey? Who? โ€

Nanxi pursed her lips with difficulty and shouted: "Mother Deng, it's me, I'm Xiaoxi"
