Chapter 167: Tormented Time

When Wang Shuzhen heard that Nan Binghuai was going to talk to her in person, her deep voice became extremely excited: "Is it... Mr. Nan..."

Nan Binghuai took the phone, and before he could start speaking, his nose was sour at first, and he barely controlled his emotions: "Shuzhen, what is your body like?" ”

"Mr. Nan... I'm fine... You have a lot of opportunities every day... Don't worry about me..."

"Shuzhen, although you have repeatedly said that you are fine, I know that you are deliberately lying."

Wang Shuzhen's voice was a little frightened: "No... Don't guess... Don't affect Xuedong..."

Nan Binghuai's eyes blurred, and he had to take off his glasses with one hand, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and then said emotionally: "Shuzhen, there is definitely your dedication in this great project we are engaged in." On behalf of the team, I would like to thank you and please take care of your health and wait for our good news. ”

"Mr. Nan... Thank you... Thank you for this opportunity... It's his dream... It was also his mother who would rather give up her life to give birth to his original intention... All the family, including me, want him to make his worth shine through in this great project..."

Her words not only moved Nan Binghuai, but also moved Cheng Xuedong, who was listening, to tears.

Nan Binghuai tried his best to control himself: "Shuzhen, don't say anything... Don't get excited, beware of hurting your body. I know that you actually miss Xiao Cheng very much in your heart, and promise you that when Xiao Wei takes the college entrance examination, I will definitely give Xiao Cheng a long vacation, not only to let him do his father's responsibility, but also let him do his husband's responsibility. ”

"Mr. Nan... Thank you..."

When Nan Binghuai returned the mobile phone to Cheng Xuedong, Cheng Xuedong wanted to tell his beloved wife a few more words, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

Cheng Xuedong stared at his mentor with some confusion.

Nan Binghuai seemed to be empathetic: "Don't mind, Shuzhen must have hung up the phone because she couldn't control her emotions." ”

Cheng Xuedong recalled the situation of the phone call just now, and felt that the teacher's explanation was the best reason. In fact, he can't help himself, not to mention that his beloved wife is a sentimental woman?

Nan Binghuai took the opportunity to advise: "You take the time to book the ticket back to Shangjiang, and you have to go home regularly to have a look, and the unit will reimburse you for all the round-trip tickets." ”

Cheng Xuedong was a little scared: "How can there be a family member to spend money for me about my private affairs to visit my relatives." ”

Nan Binghuai said very firmly: "If you go back to visit Shuzhen, it's not your personal matter, it's a private matter." She is also a hero of our team. So you're not only representing you personally, but also as a team. ”

Cheng Xuedong nodded tearfully: "Hmm... I remembered. ”

Nan Binghuai turned around and returned to the studio at this time. Cheng Xuedong tidied up his appearance outside and followed in. However, in addition to the scientific research homework in front of him, there is one more content in his mind, that is, the reverie of returning to his hometown in Shangjiang soon.

Speaking of Shangjiang, although Wang Shuzhen has reached the end of her life, it may be the will of God, she is like returning to the light today, and her spirit is surprisingly good, which makes Liu Yan very worried. The reason why she is worried is because she knows very well that Wang Shuzhen's illness can only get worse and worse, and there can be no more miracles, and behaving well today may be the precursor to the final death. She was a little scared. And just when she was up and down in her heart, Cheng Xuedong's phone call suddenly came, and she questioned her, not because Wang Shuzhen herself had to answer the phone in person.

Since Wang Shuzhen's good condition is still there, there is no obstacle to answering the other party's phone this time. However, Wang Shuzhen's physical condition began to decline during the call, and she couldn't continue to hold on any longer, so she had to hang up the phone.

Wang Shuzhen, who ended the call, collapsed on the head of the bed as if she had taken her last breath.

"Sister Shuzhen!"

Liu Yan was completely frightened and pounced on him silently.

Wang Shuzhen's face was as pale as paper at this time, her eyes were closed and her teeth were clenched.

Liu Yan cried helplessly: "Sister Shuzhen... Wake up... Don't scare me..."

Wang Shuzhen finally opened her eyes slowly under her crying, but her body was still weak, and her previous spiritual energy had disappeared.

When Liu Yan saw that she had woken up, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Shuzhen... I'll take you to the hospital..."

Wang Shuzhen shook her head gloomily: "No... If I'm hospitalized... I can't go back to this home... Now Xiaowei is about to face the college entrance examination... But I always went home before... I don't want to... And... Didn't Xuedong promise to come back? I want to talk to him at home... The Last Reunion..."

"Sister Shuzhen..."

Liu Yan couldn't help but have mixed feelings and hugged Wang Shuzhen tightly in her arms.

Wang Shuzhen muttered: "Before I saw their father and daughter... I won't close my eyes... Heaven will help me hold this breath..."

Liu Yan nodded tearfully: "Hmm... You're a good person... Heaven will... I'm sure I'll be able to fulfill your wish..."

At this time, Liu Yan and Wang Shuzhen, who were in a slightly better spirit, glanced out the window at the same time. At this moment, it is already the beginning of the lights. They all hope that time will pass as soon as possible, and that there will be no more such a little bit of suffering. However, time is not always subject to human will. The ruthless time is like a chronic poison, eroding Wang Shuzhen's painful nerves little by little. The strong Wang Shuzhen's blurred vision wanted to pass through the long night sky to the Ziguang Observatory thousands of miles away, and witness the selfless work of her lover and other scientific and technological workers...

At the moment when the night had just fallen, in the small restaurant near the Ziguang Observatory, Liu Xiaoguang and Li Mengmeng sat opposite each other. Although Li Mengmeng tried her best to cover it up, the tears in her eyes were still dry, and she didn't show any interest in this dinner at all.

Liu Xiaoguang looked very strange: "Mengmeng, since your mother already has news, why are you still sad?" ”

Li Mengmeng was shocked, knowing that she really couldn't pretend, so she simply continued to lie: "I feel sorry for my mother... She's wandering out alone... I can't say how uncomfortable I am..."

"Don't be foolish. She's an adult, just going out for a walk. I believe she is self-regulating. ”

"But she's a woman after all... Now... I can't say how sad it is..."

Li Mengmeng's words were not wrong, she, her mother, and even Xiao Shuyun couldn't help but indulge in the sorrow of losing Li Yunjian just now.

However, where did Liu Xiaoguang know this? He also thought that Mengmeng's mother was grief-stricken because of her ex-husband's engagement to Xiao Shuyun. At this time, he couldn't help but think of his ex-wife.

"Mengmeng, is your father and Shuyun officially engaged?"

Li Mengmeng's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but say, "Why are you asking this?" Can't you let go of her in your heart? ”

"Girl, do you think I'm still worried about Shuyun?"

Li Mengmeng rolled her eyes: "Please don't say that you don't have her in your heart." ”

Liu Xiaoguang smiled calmly: "Of course I can't completely rule her out in my heart." ”

Li Mengmeng looked extremely concerned: "If she falls out of love, will you accept her again?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You, why have you become cautious?" She just had a good affair with your dad, how could she fall out of love? ”

Li Mengmeng replied word by word: "I said yes!" ”

Liu Xiaoguang saw that she was quite serious, so he had to answer solemnly: "I have already said that the relationship with Shuyun will never go back to the past, because I got the girl I need more." Even if I still have feelings for her, it is a family relationship that has lived together for more than ten years. Didn't I say I wanted her to be my own sister? ”

When Li Mengmeng heard this, she finally teased: "If this is the case, won't I become her sister-in-law?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang was stunned: "But she is now your stepmother-to-be." You have to treat her as an elder. ”

"Stepmother-to-be?" Li Mengmeng suddenly blurted out: "She will never be my stepmother!" ”

Liu Xiaoguang, who had just stretched out his chopsticks to take a bite of the dish, couldn't help but tremble, and let the dish slip on the table.

Li Mengmeng was also shocked, and secretly scolded herself for being too unpretentious in her heart, so she lowered her gaffe face.

Liu Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment, and finally questioned: "Mengmeng, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I..."

Li Mengmeng wanted to make some excuses, but unfortunately her throat was a little salty, and she couldn't make any sound for a while.

Liu Xiaoguang had no choice but to continue to ask: "Didn't you support them before?" Why is it singing the opposite now? ”

Li Mengmeng finally understood that the other party had misunderstood, felt a little at ease, and controlled herself again, before she whispered: "Am I still distressed about my mother?" ”

"Huh? Are you actually going back on this matter for the sake of your mother's feelings? ”

Li Mengmeng turned her heart at this time: "If my mother can't think about it, I can only stand on her side." ”

"Meng Meng... How can you do that? ”

Li Mengmeng's attitude quickly reversed: "Please rest assured, my mother has already figured it out and asked me to give them blessings on the phone." ”

Liu Xiaoguang's expression became serious: "Mengmeng, even if your mother still can't think about it, you shouldn't object to them." ”

"Why?"

"As long as your father and her truly love each other, you, as a daughter, should fulfill him. If you object, it will only cause unpleasantness to each other. He might interfere with us afterwards. ”

"Oh? Do you want to use this as a bargaining chip to get an equivalent exchange with my dad? ”

"No, I didn't mean that, but I want you to understand a truth - even if your father doesn't marry Shuyun, it is impossible to reunite with your mother. Since you can't control this matter, it's better to go with the flow. Girl, sometimes letting go of blessings is a better reflection of your concern. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Mengmeng took the opportunity to ask: "Is your blessing to Shuyun out of this mentality?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang happily admitted: "Yes. Since I regard Shuyun as my sister, shouldn't I care about her? Don't you want her to find her own happiness? ”

Li Mengmeng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are so cunning!" ”

Liu Xiaoguang was relieved when he saw that her expression was finally a little clearer, and reached out to stroke her cheek across the table: "Mengmeng, you can only look more charming when you are brilliant, don't be sad in the future." ”

Li Mengmeng's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but say emotionally: "Brother Xiaoguang, as long as I have your love, I will always be full of sunshine." ”
