“I stopped being angry a long time ago.”
Tang Mei shook her head gently, her tone soft and indulgent. “No, I should say, I have never been angry about this matter. Xiao Long, you are my only younger brother. Even if you betrayed me for self-preservation, I wouldn’t blame you. But if you had done that, you would no longer be my brother.”
Tang Long, feeling anxious, quickly grabbed his sister’s hand and said, “Sis, I admit I was a jerk before. I always dragged you and Mom down. But that day, I was just challenging myself. I wanted to know if you would really come to save me.”
“At that time, I told myself that if you really appeared, no matter what happened, I would prioritize protecting you and would listen to you in the future.”
Tang Mei affectionately stroked her brother’s head. “Alright, let’s let this matter pass. Neither of us should mention it again. It’s time for your medicine.”
Tang Long obediently leaned against the bed, waiting for Tang Mei to feed him the medicine spoon by spoon.
In no time, his eyelids began to droop, his voice taking on a nasal tone. “Sis, I’m so sleepy. I’ll take a nap first. You go back and accompany Mom.”
“Okay, you sleep well.” Tang Mei gently helped her brother lie down and carefully tucked him in.
Soon, the sound of Tang Long’s snoring filled the ward.
Tang Mei stood silently at the head of the bed. Coincidentally, the moonlight outside the window was blocked by dark clouds. She had melted into the endless darkness, and her gentle outline could not be seen.
After a while,
Tang Mei finally moved.
She reached out and took her brother’s phone from under his pillow, gently unlocking it with his fingerprint, and then opened his messaging app.
“Damn, scared the hell out of me! I almost died back then! If I had known, I wouldn’t have saved that woman. She even helped her boss scold me! If it weren’t for those two, I wouldn’t have encountered this disaster!”
“They must pay me! I can’t suffer such serious injuries for nothing. My sister doesn’t give me a penny now. When she’s not around, I’ve already prepared all the necessary documents for court from the hospital. This time I should be able to get a huge sum from her boss. Then we can go abroad to bigger casinos!”
“You don’t know, at that time I came up with the good idea of using my sister as a hostage!
Those idiots actually believed it. I should have been able to come out safely, but who knew my sister would bring her boss, that damn woman. It’s ruining my plan. I almost got rid of our old and nagging housekeeper!”
“I thought that woman was good at martial arts. She should have been able to beat those kidnappers, that’s why I rushed out. Do you think I’m stupid? Is my life less valuable than my sister’s? She’s just a woman, what else can she do besides making money?”
“So what if she’s my own sister? What has she given me besides money from childhood to adulthood? I haven’t spent much of her money. She earns over ten thousand a month, what’s wrong with spending half on me? What’s a woman going to do with so much money? I’m going to make big money in the future, and she’s still not happy!”
“When I have money in the future, I’ll live freely wherever I want, and no one can control me!”
Tang Long’s chat record with his friends unfolded before Tang Mei’s eyes.
His last message was sent just over ten minutes ago, while Tang Mei quietly sat across from him, accompanying him for dinner.
But in the chat box, Tang Long wrote: “She makes me eat crappy vegetables every day. How am I supposed to eat this bland stuff? I think she wants to torture me, stingy, not giving me enough food! She even calls herself my sister! If I had known, I should have let her die. If she got stabbed in the heart, I could have gotten even more money! Why didn’t I think of it at that time?”
The fingertips resting on the screen trembled slightly, revealing a pallid complexion.
Tang Mei blinked, but tears fell from her eyes, splashing onto the screen, blurring the cold words.
This was her beloved younger brother whom she had cherished since childhood.
The person sleeping on the bed was so close, yet she suddenly couldn’t see his face clearly. She felt the room was too dark, obscuring even her bright red and vibrant heart.
The bit of tenderness in her eyes had completely shattered. She silently placed the phone back in its place, reached into the drawer, and pulled out a stack of neatly arranged hospital reports.
This was the “evidence” Tang Long had painstakingly sought.
Tang Mei wouldn’t give him the chance to blackmail Mei Shu. If such a thing really happened, she didn’t know how she would face Mei Shu.
With that in mind, she opened the stack of evidence, took out the most important injury report, hastily stuffed it into her pocket, and then quietly left as if nothing had happened.
“Hello, is this Lawyer Chen?”
Outside the hospital, Tang Mei dialed a mobile number, clutching the injury report tightly in her pocket. “I would like to consult with you about my brother’s repeated borrowing of money without repayment. How can I get the money back? I’m willing to go to court. I just want to recover all the money I’ve spent on him over the years.”
