&Quot; Gu Anran, I told you not to come into contact with Tong Wenhai. Why didn’t you listen? ”
Lin xiaofen’s voice was so loud that even when big knife Anran was holding the phone, su Yicheng could hear Lin xiaofen’s angry roar.
Anran was stunned and didn’t react for a long time. She was really a little frightened by her mother’s angry roar and accusation, mainly because she was caught off guard and completely unprepared.
On the other end of the phone, Lin xiaofen was still a little excited. She shouted at Anran, ” &Quot; Gu Anran, if you see Tong Wenhai again in the future, don’t call me your mother! &Quot; After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, not even giving Anran time to react.
Anran stared at her phone in a daze. Even though the call had been hung up, she still couldn’t react in time. In her memory, Lin xiaofen had never yelled at her like this before, and no matter how angry she was, she had never been so hysterical. In her memory, they had quarreled before. That was the last time they had a disagreement about her marriage. However, no matter how angry they were, they had never said such harsh words. Never!
!!
Su Yicheng took the phone from her hand and whispered in her ear, ” “What’s wrong?”
Anran finally snapped out of her daze and looked at him. She didn’t say anything for a long time, but the tip of her nose felt really sour, and her eyes suddenly turned red. Then, she couldn’t control her tears and they started to flow.
Su Yicheng’s heart ached a little as he reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks and coaxed her, ” “You went to see Tong Wenhai yesterday?”
Anran nodded, but she couldn’t stop her tears. She just felt wronged, and she felt terrible in her heart. She clearly didn’t do anything, but it seemed like everyone was criticizing her. Tong Wenhai was like this, and now, even her mother was the same.
“What did Tong Wenhai say to you yesterday?” Su Yicheng asked. As he looked at her, he began to suspect that Anran’s near miscarriage had something to do with Tong Wenhai.
An ran didn’t say anything. She opened her eyes and didn’t look at him.
He reached out and lifted her face to let her look into his eyes. He looked at her and said, ” “Anran, can you not tell me? Hmm?”
Anran shook her head and looked at him for a long time before she said, ” &Quot; he came to me and told me not to get involved in mo Fei and Tong Xiaojie’s marriage. &Quot;
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng subconsciously frowned in displeasure.
Anran wiped the tears from her face and turned to look out the window. After a while, she said, ” &Quot; yesterday, Tong Wenhai asked me if I had any manners. He asked me how my father taught me. &Quot;
Su Yicheng looked at her and didn’t say anything for a moment.
&Quot; what right do you think he has to lecture me? just because he’s Yingluo? ” Anran suddenly stopped talking.
Su Yicheng didn’t miss her tightly clenched hands on the blanket. He seemed to be a little agitated, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.
As he looked at her, su Yicheng seemed to think that she already knew something. He looked at her worriedly and called out softly, ” “An ran …”
As if she was afraid he would worry, Anran turned her head and smiled at him. She only said, ” “I suddenly feel so tired. I want to sleep for a while.”
Su Yicheng looked at her without saying anything. He only nodded slightly and helped her lie down. Then, he covered her with the blanket and kissed her forehead. He only said, ” “Go to sleep.”
An ran nodded and closed her eyes.
The phone in su Yicheng’s pocket rang. It was a call from Secretary Zheng, but he didn’t pick it up and directly hung up. He sat next to her for a while to make sure she was asleep before he turned around and left. However, he didn’t notice that the moment he closed the door, Anran opened her eyes and looked ahead with a blank expression.
In the corridor, su Yicheng was returning a call to Secretary Zheng, who had just called him.
“Okay, I got it. Call me if there’s anything. I won’t be going to the office today.” She didn’t know what Secretary Zheng said on the other end of the phone, but su Yicheng said, ” “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
After hanging up the phone, su Yicheng was about to put his phone back into his pocket when he heard someone behind him call out to him in surprise and uncertainty, ” Deputy city su? ”
Only then did su Yicheng turn his head. Like that person, he was also a little surprised to meet Tong Wenhai here.
Putting the phone back into his pocket, su Yicheng looked at Tong Wenhai with a slight smile and said, ” “Bureau chief Tong, what a coincidence.”
Tong Wenhai also laughed. He looked at him and nodded. &Quot; I heard about what happened yesterday, but now that I’ve seen Deputy city su, I’m relieved. I think there must be some misunderstanding, but it’s good that it’s resolved. It’s good that it’s okay. &Quot;
Su Yicheng walked over to him, and although he had a smile on his face, it was obvious that the smile didn’t reach his eyes. &Quot; yes, it’s indeed a misunderstanding. Someone reported that I accepted a bribe, so I insisted on choosing hanhai real estate for the demolition project in the north of the city. &Quot;
Tong Wenhai looked at him and revealed a slightly surprised expression. &Quot; is that so? this is too ridiculous. &Quot;
Su Yicheng remained indifferent and didn’t respond to his words.
Tong Wenhai looked at him, and his eyes flickered a little. Seeing that he was no longer asking this question, he changed the topic and said, ” &Quot; Deputy City Master su, why are you here? is your friend sick? ”
Su Yicheng still had a faint smile on his face, but the look in his eyes seemed to have deepened a little. He simply shook his head and said, ” “No, he’s my lover.”
“An ran?” Hearing this, Tong Wenhai was stunned. He found it hard to believe and said, ” “How can this be? She looked pretty good when I saw her yesterday!”
Su Yicheng nodded and simply said, ” yes, she came to the hospital after meeting with director Tong. The doctor said that she was too emotional. That’s why she almost had a miscarriage. &Quot;
Tong Wenhai looked at him in a daze. After a while, he asked, ” Anran is pregnant? ”
Su Yicheng nodded, took a step closer to him, and asked him with a faint smile, ” what exactly did bureau chief Tong say to her yesterday? How could she be so agitated?”
Tong Wenhai was stunned. He looked at him, unable to say a word.
Just as the two of them were confronting each other, the door behind Tong Wenhai suddenly opened. Mo Fei came out of the ward and saw Tong Wenhai and su Yicheng standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then slightly furrowed his brows, looked at su Yicheng, and said, ” “Deputy Mayor su, what a coincidence.”
Su Yicheng turned to look at him and pretended to be surprised. &Quot; Oh, President mo is here too. &Quot;
Mo Fei nodded at him. His face was a little stiff, and he didn’t show much expression.
“How is Anran?” Tong Wenhai looked at su Yicheng with a complicated expression and asked after a long time.
Before su Yicheng could speak, mo Fei, who was standing beside him, asked anxiously, ” “What’s wrong with an ran?” His originally emotionless face was replaced by worry and anxiety.
Su Yicheng looked at them, chuckled, and said, ” bureau chief Tong and President mo are both very concerned about my wife. &Quot;
Mo Fei’s face stiffened, and his hands that were hanging by his sides clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion.
Tong Wenhai’s expression was also a little unnatural, and his eyes were wandering, not looking at su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng coldly smirked and said, ” &Quot; thank you for your love. An ran is very good. &Quot; Then, he raised his hand to look at the time. &Quot; sorry, I’ve been out for too long. I’ll go back first. &Quot; Then, he turned around and walked toward an ran’s room, which was two rooms away.
When he entered, Anran was still asleep. Her eyes were closed and she was lying on her side. Her position hadn’t changed at all, but her brows seemed to be tightly furrowed.
Su Yicheng sighed softly and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows, then Anran sat down on the chair by her bed.
In fact, the last time Anran asked him to investigate Tong Wenhai, he had also found someone to investigate Lin xiaofen’s information. There were some things that the clearer you were, the more annoyed you felt. Being unclear and not knowing was actually the happiest, happiest, and most relaxing thing. He didn’t want Anran to know. Even though she had the right to know all of this, he was selfish and didn’t want to tell her. Because he knew that the current state of life was the best for her, and once she knew that, she would definitely not be happier and happier than she was now.
He didn’t want to care about the truth or the reason. He just wanted her to be happy and not have any worries. His brows would never be furrowed like before. He wanted her to be happy, to be happy. These were all his responsibilities.
As she was thinking about this, Anran’s phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. The ringtone was a little abrupt.
Su Yicheng quickly grabbed the phone and muted it. Then, he glanced at Anran, who was still in bed, and saw that her eyes were still closed and she hadn’t been woken up. Only then did he look down at the caller ID displayed on his phone screen. It was Gu Hengwen. Su Yicheng then left the ward with his phone.
She pressed the answer button, but before she could speak, she heard Gu Hengwen say with a slight smile, ” “Ran ran, are you busy? come home with ah Zhen for dinner tonight.”
“Dad, it’s Yicheng.” Su Yicheng said with a faint smile as he held the phone.
“Uh,” Gu Hengwen was a little surprised, but he was still very happy. He said,”Ah kun, you’re not working today?”
“Yes, I didn’t go today.” Su Yicheng replied.
&Quot; you’re right. It’s the weekend Today. No matter how busy you are with work, you should rest and relax. &Quot; Gu wenheng said.
“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; dad, ” he said, ” school is starting soon, right? ” It was almost September, and the new semester was about to begin.
“Yeah, I’m going to be busy again.” Gu Hengwen laughed, then asked tentatively, ” “Ah Luo, what is Ranran doing?”
Su Yicheng knew what he wanted to ask, so he said directly, ” Dad, Anran is asleep. &Quot;
“Sigh, Ranran must be blaming her mother,” Gu Hengwen sighed and said.
No, Anran is just a little tired. &Quot; Su Yicheng explained, ” no daughter would really be angry with her mother. &Quot;
&Quot; xiaofen was a little emotional just now, so she said those harsh words. In fact, she regretted it the moment she hung up the phone, so she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She asked me to call you guys and ask you to come home for dinner tonight. Her pot of chicken soup has been stewing in the pot since last night, just waiting for you guys to come back and drink it. &Quot; Gu Hengwen said with a smile. &Quot; I thought you had work today, so I wanted you to come over at night and have a good family gathering. What a coincidence. If you don’t have work today, take Anran home at noon. We can play chess after lunch. Today, I’m going to take revenge and turn the tables. &Quot;
Su Yicheng also laughed, but he turned his head to look at the ward. He had asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Anran needed to rest in a quiet room for the next few days, so she should try not to get tired and walk around.
He said apologetically into the phone, ” &Quot; dad, we might not be able to make it. Let’s wait a few days. I’ll take Anran back in a few days. &Quot;
“What’s wrong?” Gu Hengwen was confused. He thought that Anran was still angry about Lin xiaofen’s phone call, so he asked, ” “Is ran ran really angry?”
&Quot; dad, don’t think too much about it. Anran isn’t angry. She just had a small accident. She’s in the hospital now. The doctor said that she should try to rest in bed for the next few days and not move around too much. &Quot; Su Yicheng said frankly.
“Is ran ran in the hospital?” Gu Hengwen was obviously very surprised by this news.
&Quot; what’s going on? what’s going on? why is Ranran in the hospital? ”
It seemed that Lin xiaofen was also there. When she heard that Anran was in the hospital, she kept asking questions. Her anxiety and worry didn’t need to be expressed.
“Dad, mom, she’s fine now. She just needs to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. Don’t worry.” Su Yicheng tried to comfort her.
At this moment, Tong Wenhai came out of the ward next door and turned his head, just in time to meet su Yicheng’s eyes.
&Quot; how could we not be worried? why didn’t you inform us that something happened to Anran? we are Anran’s parents! &Quot; The phone was snatched by Lin xiaofen. She held the phone and said with some urgency, ” “Ah Luo, where are you now? we’ll go over now.”
Su Yicheng had no choice but to tell her the address. &Quot; she’s at the city’s fifth hospital, in the inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. &Quot;
“We’ll head over now.” After she finished speaking, Lin xiaofen directly hung up the phone.
Su Yicheng shook his head and put away his phone. When he turned around, he saw Tong Wenhai walking toward him and then standing in front of him.
Su Yicheng looked at him without much expression on his face, and he only asked, ” “Bureau chief Tong, what’s the matter?”
Tong Wenhai looked at the ward, then looked at him and asked, ” “Can I go in and see an ran?”
If she wasn’t mistaken, su yijiao felt that he seemed to see a sense of guilt in his eyes.
Su Yicheng coldly said, ” &Quot; I’m sorry. I don’t want Anran to lose control of her emotions when she sees you. The doctor specifically said that Anran needs to rest. &Quot;
&Quot; I, I’m her darling. &Quot; Tong Wenhai wanted to explain, but he suddenly realized something and stopped.
Su Yicheng just looked at him, staring at him with a serious expression, without a trace of warmth in his expression. After a while, he pursed his lips and asked, ” &Quot; what is bureau chief Tong to Anran? ”
Tong Wenhai shook his head with a bitter smile. &Quot; it’s nothing. &Quot;
Su Yicheng didn’t ask any more questions. He just glanced at him, turned around, and entered the ward, closing the door behind him.
Outside the door, Tong Wenhai was standing with a bitter smile. Suddenly, the sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor came from the elevator. He turned around and saw Mrs. Tong dressed like a rich lady, holding Chanelle’s latest handbag and walking over to him. She anxiously grabbed Tong Wenhai’s hand and asked, ” “Wen Hai, how is Xiao nuo? Why did he suddenly fall? Is this the ward?” As he spoke, he was about to push open the door to the ward behind Tong Wenhai, but he was pulled back by Tong Wenhai.
Mrs. Tong turned her head and looked at him with a strange expression. She asked with confusion, ” “What’s wrong?”
Tong Wenhai looked at her for a long time before he said, ” “It’s not this one.” Then, he let go of her hand and walked directly to Tong Xiaojie’s ward.
Mrs. Tong looked at the tightly shut door of the ward with some doubt, then quickly caught up with Tong Wenhai in front.
When Gu Hengwen and Lin xiaofen arrived at the hospital, Anran was still unconscious.
Su Yicheng briefly told them about what had happened in a low voice. Of course, he didn’t want them to worry about him while worrying about Anran, so he didn’t mention anything about himself to them.
After hearing this, Lin xiaofen looked at Anran, who was lying on the bed, in a daze. She saw that Anran’s small face was slightly pale, and she remorsefully scolded herself hundreds of times.
Gu wenheng could see that she was upset. He reached out to hold her shoulders and comforted her softly, ” &Quot; alright, don’t feel bad. Anran is fine. Don’t blame yourself. &Quot;
Perhaps the noise in the room had woken an ran up. She moved her long eyelashes and slowly woke up.
Seeing Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen in the room, he was slightly stunned. He looked at them with some uncertainty and called out, ” “Dad, mom? What are you guys doing here?” As she spoke, she cast a puzzled look at su Yicheng, who was standing to the side.
It was only then that they noticed that she had already woken up. Lin xiaofen strode forward and looked at her. She touched her face with heartache and said, ” “I’m sorry, it’s mom’s fault.”
It took Anran a while to react. &Quot; mom … &Quot; she looked at her and slowly raised her hand to hold hers.
Looking at her, Lin xiaofen’s nose started to sting, and her eyes were also very red. She said, ” &Quot; mom shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry. You’ll always be my daughter, forever. &Quot;
“Yes, yes.” An ran nodded firmly.
Su Yicheng and Gu Hengwen looked on, shook their heads, and laughed.
Lin xiaofen stayed in the hospital to accompany Anran for the entire afternoon. It was only in the evening that she and Gu Hengwen prepared to go back.
Su Yicheng sent them out, and as Lin xiaofen walked, she muttered, ” “When I go back, I’ll buy a pigeon from the market and make some soup. Ranran should be tired of eating chicken soup all day. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Also, we need to buy some pig trotters. Pregnant women need calcium.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Hengwen and su Yicheng looked at each other and smiled. Su Yicheng even thanked her and said, ” “Thank you, Mom. I’ve troubled you.”
Lin xiaofen gave him a strange look and said, ” &Quot; Ranran is my daughter. If I don’t trouble her, who will? ”
Su Yicheng nodded repeatedly and quickly said, ” “Yes, yes, yes, Mom is right.”
The elevator was coming up from the bottom, and the red number kept changing. The three of them stood at the elevator door and waited.
The floor wasn’t that high, so the elevator arrived very quickly. Within a few seconds, they heard a ‘ding’ and the elevator door opened. However, when they saw Tong Wenhai and Mo Fei coming out, they were all stunned and didn’t know how to react.
Tong Wenhai and Mo Fei, who were in the elevator, were also stunned. They stared at them and almost forgot to come out.
The first to react was su Yicheng. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin xiaofen suddenly move slowly. She glared at Tong Wenhai in front of her, then stepped forward.
Su Yicheng didn’t know what she wanted to do and instinctively thought that she was going to question Tong Wenhai. However, he was wrong. It wasn’t an interrogation, but a slap!
“Pa! Pa! Pa!”
Lin xiaofen raised her hand, and that slap directly landed on the left side of Tong Wenhai’s face ruthlessly and accurately. The force was so strong that Tong Wenhai’s face was directly slanted to the side. Then, a bright red palm print immediately appeared on Tong Wenhai’s face.
For a moment, everything seemed to have stopped. No one said a word. Even the nurse who was passing by stopped in her tracks when she saw this scene.
It could be said that Lin xiaofen had used up all her strength in that slap just now. Even after the slap, her hand was still a little numb and trembling from the force.
Because she was angry, her chest heaved up and down a little. Looking at him, Lin xiaofen asked with hatred, ” &Quot; Tong Wenhai, Who Do You Think You Are? what right do you have to question and criticize my daughter?! &Quot;
Tong Wenhai turned his head and looked at her. His lips were tightly pursed, and his hands that hung by his sides were tightly clenched.
Gu Hengwen, who was at the side, also reacted at this time. He called out to her in a slightly worried voice, ” xiaofen … &Quot; Tong Wenhai reached out, wanting to pull her back to his side, but Lin xiaofen directly brushed his hand away.
He turned to look at mo Fei, who was holding a thermal flask, and pointed at him. With a sharp gaze, he said, ” &Quot; and you, why are you still pestering my daughter? didn’t you leave in a cool manner? why are you turning back now? why do you want Anran to be accused of breaking up your marriage? what right do you have to treat her like this? ” As she spoke, Lin xiaofen was on the verge of breaking down. She roared at them, ” what do we, mother and daughter, owe you? what right do you have to defile us like this?! &Quot; As she spoke, her tears flowed uncontrollably. &Quot; you have a better choice. You can use marriage to get everything you want, so just get lost. Do we want a man like this? we don’t want him at all. I just want you to get lost. Get lost far away. Don’t come in front of us and dirty our eyes! &Quot;
Tong Wenhai tightly pursed his lips and avoided her gaze, not in a hurry to meet her eyes. The handprint on his face was getting more and more obvious and red, and it looked a little scary.
Mo Fei couldn’t say a word. The hand that was holding the thermal flask was so tight that the veins were about to pop out.
Lin xiaofen was on the verge of breaking down as she cried. Her entire body suddenly felt weak. Fortunately, Gu Hengwen, who had reached behind her, was quick to react and directly pulled her into his arms. Then, he raised his head to look at Tong Wenhai and Mo Fei and said softly, ” “Let’s go,” he said.
Su Yicheng indifferently asked Tong Wenhai and Mo Fei to make way, then sent Gu Hengwen and Lin xiaofen off.
