Chapter 80: A Precursor to Doom
How did she end up here?
This question suddenly rose in my mind, and along with this question came another question that made my scalp tingle.
That's whether Xu Lujia is here!
When I think of these two questions, the original sense of joy in my heart disappears in an instant, and in its place is a deep worry.
If the two of them appear at the same time today, then I'm afraid today's banquet will not be easy!
Recently, I have gotten along with Tang Tianqi more and more closely, and there is a little bit of mutual understanding between us, when I was worried about Xu Lujia and Lu Qingsheng, Tang Tianqi was very keenly aware of my strangeness.
"What's wrong?" Tang Tianqi said hello to the person who came as he walked, and while leaning his head towards me without a trace, he asked in a low voice.
"Nope." I closed my eyes, hid the worry in my eyes, and when I opened them again, all that was left in my eyes was joy and happiness.
I hope that's all I think about it!
But it turns out that my thoughts are not all superfluous, at the beginning of the banquet, my eyes deliberately searched the crowd, and after carefully observing for a long time, except for Lu Qingsheng, I did not find Xu Lujia's shadow.
It was a relief to me.
And when Tang Tianqi was dragged by his friends to fight for wine in the middle of the banquet, taking advantage of the fact that there was no Tang Tianqi by my side, Lu Qingsheng seemed to have caught a loophole and immediately came over.
"I heard that you are pregnant with Tang Tianqi's child?" Lu Qingsheng, who came over, looked at my abdomen with a somewhat complicated gaze, and asked in the first sentence.
"What do you want to do!" I was almost reflexive, and immediately put my hands on my lower abdomen and looked at her with a wary look on my face.
Seeing my actions, Lu Qingsheng smiled self-deprecatingly, and she waved her hand at me.
"Don't react so violently, I didn't think about what to do with the baby in your womb." Lu Qingsheng explained.
But I don't trust her easily, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and with Lu Qingsheng's character, I can't believe that she really just came to bless me.
"Then why are you coming to me?" I asked, almost subconsciously, taking a step back and asking vigilantly.
Hearing my question, Lu Qingsheng stretched out his hand and turned around and pointed to the people around her, and finally pointed to her nose, and replied as a matter of course.
"Like them, I am here to send my most sincere blessings to you and Tang Tianqi."
"Best wishes?" When I heard this word pop out of Lu Qingsheng's mouth, I don't know why I always felt a little awkward, forgive me I really can't believe that Lu Qingsheng will come with a good heart.
But this seems to be the case, when there was an expression of disbelief on my face, Lu Qingsheng spread his hands at me, with a helpless expression on his face.
"If you don't believe it, forget it." After dropping these words, Lu Qingsheng turned around and left.
I looked at Lu Qingsheng's back in the crowd in confusion, with a puzzled expression on my face, could it be that Lu Qingsheng really changed his character?
Just when I was confused, Tang Tianqi had unconsciously walked to my side.
"Although Qingsheng's nature is not bad, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not do some radical things sometimes, so if you can, you try to avoid contact with her." Tang Tianqi, who walked to my side, looked in the direction of Lu Qingsheng with me, and said with a solemn look on his face.
After thinking about it for a while, I also felt in my heart that Lu Qingsheng would not be so kind just to send me his blessings, and after listening to Tang Tianqi's words, I nodded and said.
"Well, I'll be careful."
Perhaps Tang Tianqi felt that the atmosphere was gradually becoming more solemn, he smiled, and said with a relaxed look on his face.
"Okay, today is a festive day, don't think about these haves and don'ts."
When Tang Tianqi said this, I think it is also, in order not to disappoint us who were happy today, I let go of my slightly twisted brows, and a smile bloomed on my face again.
"Then I'll accompany you to the bar to pay tribute to the elders!"
As I spoke, I took Tang Tianqi's hand and accompanied him to the circle of elders of the Tang family.
At this time, I didn't know at all, in fact, Lu Qingsheng's coming this time did not have any bad ideas, and I saw that the complicated gaze in her eyes was also real, but it was not the kind of meaning I understood.
It won't be until a long, long time later that I won't know that Lu Qingsheng's complicated gaze is not that I am pregnant with Tang Tianqi's child, and even that the person targeted by this complexity is not me, but herself, and the choice made from the complexity of her heart.
But I don't know all this yet.
The banquet was held very successfully, we and the relatives and friends invited by Tang Tianqi played for an afternoon, and then waved goodbye to us, from the beginning to the end of the banquet, Lu Qingsheng has always been an honest appearance, and even she just lingered in the crowd except for saying hello to Tang Tianqi from afar.
And what makes me even more puzzled is that not only Lu Qingsheng makes people feel abnormal, but even Xu Lujia did not appear.
Normally, I should be very glad that these two plague gods didn't make trouble for me, but I don't know why, faintly, I have an ominous premonition in my heart.
However, I didn't pay much attention to this ominous feeling, and after the banquet, I forgot about it, and since the banquet ended at about 7 o'clock in the evening, I changed into my usual clothes and wanted to go back to the hospital to accompany my mother.
And just when I came out after changing my clothes, Tang Tianqi suddenly found me, with resentment written on his whole face.
"Why, I haven't seen my mother for a while, you just miss her like this, and you're ready to go back?" Tang Tianqi saw through my intentions at a glance.
Looking at Tang Tianqi's appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart, and at this time, a bad taste suddenly rose in my heart, and I had a feeling of wanting to tease Tang Tianqi.
"What? If you don't go back, will you stay here for the night? ”
Hearing my words, Tang Tianqi walked up to me with a movement of his feet, wrapped one hand around me, and whispered softly in my ear.
"Of course."
When Tang Tianqi spoke, the wind that blew made my ears itch for a while, just like a cat scratching, which made my heart itch too.
Tang Tianqi saw that I didn't refuse, so he hit the snake with the stick, and then said: "Otherwise, you will spend the night at my house tonight, and tomorrow, I will go back to the hospital tomorrow to accompany our mother, okay?"
Originally, I was in a pretty good mood, but when Tang Tianqi mentioned the word tomorrow, my mood suddenly fell, and I muttered in a low voice.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I have to help my mother prepare for the second operation."
When I said the word surgery, Tang Tianqi's face couldn't help but become heavy, and he took me into his arms, let me lean on his shoulder, and comforted me.
"No, don't be discouraged, Mom even survived such a big operation, so we have to believe that this time, we can also survive it!"
"Yes! Mom will be able to make it through! I quietly clenched my fists, a hint of determination flashing in my eyes.
With the appearance of this episode, Tang Tianqi was no longer ready to keep me, but this time I didn't want to leave, because when I stayed with Tang Tianqi, my helpless soul would have such a place to rely on.
Eventually, I stayed, and I didn't say anything all night.
The next day, we woke up very early, because today, we were going to go to the second assistant to help my mother prepare for the operation.
On this day, Tang Tianqi specially called the company to explain it, and was ready to put down his work and accompany me to help my mother prepare for the operation.
But on this day, bad news came.
When we parked the car and arrived at the entrance of the hospital, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number.
Confused, I pressed the answer button.
"Hey, hello, are you a family member of a patient in Ward 7?"
I thought about it for a moment, and the ward number of my mother's ward was indeed seventh, so I nodded in response.
"Yes, I am the patient's family, I am her daughter."
After confirming his identity, the other party didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Please come to Ward 7 immediately, the patient's condition has suddenly deteriorated! The situation is not optimistic! ”
When this sentence came out of the phone, there was a click, and the phone slipped out of my hand, and I didn't have time to think about it, and I didn't even pick it up, so I ran towards the floor where my mother was.
When I arrived at Ward 7, there was already a nurse waiting for me outside the door, and she handed me a folder and said to me quickly.
"According to the patient's current condition, we have ruled out the possibility of suppressing the condition with drugs, so we must have an early operation, but this operation must be approved by the family, if you still want to keep the patient, then please sign here." As she spoke, the nurse handed me a pen.
"I'll sign it! I'll sign! "I said almost without hesitation, grabbed a pen and wrote my name on the paper.
After signing the contract, I anxiously asked the nurse, "Can I still go and see the patient now?"
The nurse took the folder and handed me another payment slip, and she nodded at me.
"Now the operation is still being prepared, you can visit the patient, but you need to pay the medical fee as soon as possible, otherwise the operation will not be able to proceed normally."
I listened to the nurse's words in full, without evidence, and after she allowed me to enter, I quickly grabbed the bill and pushed the door sideways towards the room.
And the moment I entered the ward, my heart was about to break because I had just come in and saw ......
What a haggard face!
