Chapter 284: Dream Shattered
Tang Lide originally wanted to take the opportunity to go to work to go out and have a look, but Mu Xinlian obviously understood his intentions: "Today is such an important day, you just stay at home, besides...... After a while, someone from the Li family will come to pick up Jenny, and you will have to entertain too. ”
"Okay......" Mu Xinlian had already said this, besides, it was still raining heavily outside, so no matter who came to him, he would definitely leave.
The beautician first gave Jenny Tang a full body treatment, and then the hairstylist came to do her hair, and there was a makeup artist to apply makeup. Jenny Tang's bedroom was big enough, but it was crowded with stylists, assistants, and maids. The more everyone accompanies her like this, the more difficult it will be for her plan to carry out. She couldn't go to the 'concubine' dinner no matter what, instead of failing the physical examination there, not only would she lose her face, but the Tang family and the Mu family's face would also be lost. Not to mention my parents, even my uncle is not easy to explain. Jenny Tang planned to 'accidentally' twist her foot, but in the current battle, it was difficult to fall.
Mu Xinlian walked in with a brocade box, just as the hairstylist had given Tang Jenny her hair, Mu Xinlian looked at it and felt very satisfied, and put the brocade box in her hand on the dresser: "This set of jewelry was originally for you to make a dowry, today is a special day, take it out and wear it first." ”
Tang Jenny opened the brocade box, and the black swan background supported a complete set of ruby jewelry, pure red enchanting and beautiful. This set of jewelry is very good with the dress just chosen, but Tang Jenny has no intention of appreciating it, and the most important thing now is how to make herself fall and fall harder.
"You can change into your dress." The makeup artist also finished the makeup, in the end it was a young girl, although the skin was a little worse because of the damage caused by makeup, but the appearance was quite beautiful, and the makeup did not require too much effort.
"Okay." Jenny Tang stood up and began to change clothes, and the stylist chose a trailing dress. I changed into a dress first, and then put on 11cm high heels. Tang Jenny spun down, stepped on the tail with one foot, and "Ah......" Her whole body lost balance and fell to the ground with a pop.
"Oops...... My God......" Mu Xinlian hurriedly stepped forward to help Tang Jenny, who had fallen.
"It hurts......" Jenny Tang originally wanted to fall casually, but she completely underestimated the lethality of those high heels. Jenny Tang felt that her ankle might have been broken, which was really painful.
"Hurry! Please come over Dr. Wei! Mu Xinlian helped Tang Jenny to the bed and began to count down, "How reckless is today, if you fall down at the dinner party, you will definitely lose points." ”
Tang Jenny looked at Mu Xinlian with some astonishment, what does mother mean, is she injured like this, do you still want to go to Banyan Tree Manor?
When Dr. Wei arrived, Tang Lide was also in Tang Jenny's bedroom to watch the doctor's examination, and the doctor also brought a small X-ray machine to take a picture of Tang Jenny's feet.
"Dr. Wei, how is my daughter?" Tang Lide has been frowning when he sees the doctor, he is really worried, this Banyan Tree Manor dinner can not be delayed.
"It didn't hurt the bones, but the soft tissues were more seriously damaged and swollen." Dr. Wei said.
"How long will it take to walk?" Mu Xinlian immediately asked.
"It will take about a week, try to stay in bed as much as possible, and keep your feet elevated like this." The doctor explained.
Hearing the doctor say that she would stay in bed for a week, Jenny Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"My daughter has a very important banquet to attend tonight, can you think of a way not to let her be absent." Tang Lide said anxiously.
"Yes, yes...... Mu Xinlian also said, "Please think of a way." ”
"If you have to walk...... I can give Miss Tang a closure injection, and although it still hurts a little to walk after that, it is basically bearable. The doctor continued, "But it's absolutely not okay to wear high heels." ”
"Then let's get an injection." Tang Lide said without thinking.
"Okay." Dr. Wei began to prepare the injections.
Tang Jenny couldn't help but shudder when she saw such a thick needle: "Dad, I don't want injections...... I'm scared ......."
"Jenny, bear with me a little bit, and you'll be fine after the injection." Although Mu Xinlian also feels sorry for her daughter, but this hard-won opportunity to 'choose a concubine', if you miss it, don't regret it for life, "You are not allowed to be willful today." ”
Tang Jenny's heart was actually shattered a long time ago, she didn't expect that her parents, who usually doted on her, would do everything to let her participate in the hellish 'concubine selection', and they didn't care about her life or death at all.
"Master......" The butler knocked on the door and walked in, completely as if he wanted to say something.
Mu Xinlian's mood is already irritable now, where can she allow them to 'pretend to be ghosts' in front of her eyes: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't you see that this place is already going to die?" ”
Tang Lide was also a little impatient: "What's the matter?" ”
"That Miss Ye...... fainted at the door...... "The housekeeper actually didn't want to come to report, but the girl stood in the heavy rain for several hours and finally fainted at the door, her face was so white that she was frighteningly white, and she really wanted to make a fuss and accept her fate."
Tang Lide gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Get people back, it just so happens that Doctor Wei is here, let him take a look......"
"Tang Lide, don't go too far, what is that, you dare to get it at home!" Mu Xinlian stood up suddenly, regardless of the presence of the housekeeper and doctor in the room except for Tang Jenny, "I'm still in this house, are you dead to me?!" ”
"......" Tang Lide's face was red and white for a while, but he already had too much regret for Ye Ning's mother and daughter. When they came here to look for him, they all fainted in the rain, and he couldn't care less.
"Sir, the Banyan Tree Manor car has arrived." Someone else came to report.
"What do you think of getting a half-dead person back now and letting the people of the Li family see it?" Mu Xinlian snorted coldly.
"Wouldn't it be worse for such a big living person to fall in front of our house and no one cares about it, let the family see it!" Tang Lide gave the housekeeper a look, and then said, "I'll go and entertain the people of the Li family, you help Jenny clean up, and come downstairs immediately!" ”
Mu Xinlian thought for a while, what Tang Lide said was not unreasonable, but she was still very unhappy in her heart: "It's just a mourning star, even if you stand at the door, everything will not go well, and if you get it to the family, I don't know what kind of mess it will make!" ”
The housekeeper went downstairs and hurriedly beckoned two people to carry the fainting girl back and sent her to the guest room first. Tang Lide asked the servant to invite the Li family to the reception room to greet him, and then went to the guest room with Dr. Wei.
The girl lying on the bed looked as if she had been fished out of the sea, and the water stains on her body soon soaked the bedding under her. The slender body stretched out like a willow in the wind, the palm-sized little face had extraordinarily delicate facial features, and the black hair was wet and sticking to the cheeks, making Ye Nianchu look a sickly and weak beauty.
This is the first time Tang Lide has looked at Ye Nianchu so closely, Ye Nianchu's appearance combines all the advantages of him and Ye Ning, and it is a little unreal. After a quick examination, Dr. Wei determined that Ye Nianchu fainted because of low blood sugar and cold, and the bottle of glucose was soon fine. Tang Lide was also relieved when he heard this conclusion, and asked the doctor to take good care of him and went to the reception room.
Sitting on the sofa in the reception room was a very young man, and it might be a stretch to say that he was a man, because he didn't look very old. Wearing black clothes and black pants, and with a somewhat childish face, it is a rare calm and capable young man.
Seeing Tang Lide walk in, Chen Yuan stood up politely: "Mr. Tang, I'm here to pick up Miss Tang, when can we leave?" ”
"Please wait a minute, the little girl accidentally broke her foot just now, and she just finished the sealing injection, so she will come down immediately." Tang Lide said politely, "She's not very comfortable, and I'll trouble you to take care of it for a while." ”
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded.
"I'll go up and push it." Tang Lide also saw that although the people of the Li family were not rude, they did not have much patience.
Tang Lide hurriedly went upstairs and pushed open Tang Jenny's bedroom: "Hurry up, people are already impatient." ”
Mu Xinlian found a pair of soft-soled flat heels for Tang Zhenni to put on: "Okay, you try to walk, you have already received a closed injection, it shouldn't hurt very much." ”
Tang Jenny grabbed the sheets under her and didn't want to come down at all. Tang Lide could not tolerate her being so 'squeamish' at this time, and half-dragged Tang Zhenni out of bed: "Can't you be patient for a good future for yourself?" ”
Tang Jenny's heart was almost broken at this time, she felt that her parents' love for her in the past was like a dream. Today, just a 'concubine selection' dinner pierced that beautiful dream. They may love her, but they love the power of the Li family even more. If this is not the case, how could they be so ruthless, completely ignoring her body and her wishes, and forcing her to participate in the 'concubine selection' like this.
"I'm not for my own future, I'm for you and you......" Tang Jenny's eyes burned with anger, and she pointed at Tang Lide and Mu Xinlian.
"Yes, you can think so." Tang Lide didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Tang Jenny's words, "Now go downstairs!" ”
"I'm not going downstairs!" Jenny Tang shouted loudly.
"Jenny, you must go down!" Mu Xinlian also straightened her face, grabbed Tang Jenny's arm and walked out the door.
"I'm not going downstairs, and I'm not going to any great 'concubine' dinner!" Jenny Tang brushed her mother's hand away and shouted hysterically, "Because I'm not a virgin at all!" ”
"What did you say?" Tang Lide's anger went up.
"I'm not a virgin, and even if I go, I'll be sent back, and you'll be even more embarrassed then, won't you?" Tang Jenny sneered, with a vengeful smile on her face.
