Chapter 233 Mom, Please Apologize to Xiaoluo
“Cheers!”
Chu Tong and Cheng Yalin celebrated it in a western restaurant.
“Old Mr. Ling is in the hospital now and he needs surgery, then Ling Tianyi could not go to travel with Xia Xiaoluo.” Chu Tong smiled slightly and drank the champagne.
“It’s a win-win situation! But we must keep it as a secret from Tianxue, that’s her father anyway.” Cheng Yalin said and took a sip of the champagne gracefully. Knowing how serious it will be if this is unveiled, Cheng Yalin reminded Chu Tong out of kindness even though she was clear that Chu Tong was not stupid.
“Ling Desheng is old now, don’t you think that it is not good for you to do such evil things to him and make him in the hospital as well as doing the surgery? What’s more, are you sure that the perfume you sprayed on Tianxue won’t betray you?” Chu Tong asked.
“Common people could bear the perfume easily, only the old people with heart diseases could not bear it. What’s more, Tianxue felt nothing strange and she won’t find anything about it because she is so stupid. I didn’t give the perfume to her, so whoever suspects me won’t get any evidence.” Cheng Yalin said leisurely.
“Nice! Because of Ling Desheng, they are in a mess now, so we can take the opportunity to do whatever we want to! Thank you for offering me this chance! Let me toast to you! Cheers!” Chu Tong toasted to Cheng Yalin again actively.
“There will be more opportunities for us to cooperate with each other later, so don’t fall behind! It will be helpful to everyone if you can go after Xia Xiaoluo or develop a dubious relationship with her! You are helping yourself as well!” Cheng Yalin was delighted to toast with Chu Tong, so she drank happily with him.
At that time, Chu Tong smiled evilly and moved the recording pen. Although what Cheng Yalin did was beneficial to him, in order to keep what he did as a secret from Xia Xiaoluo, he still kept some evidences to stay out of it for fear that it would be exposed one day. Or Xia Xiaoluo would think that he was an evil man.
When Chu Tong and Cheng Yalin were celebrating their success, Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo out to have something to eat and buy some food to comfort her. He was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would suffer more psychological burdens.
Xia Xiaoluo said nothing to Ling Tianyi apparently, but she blamed herself for it in her heart. She thought that if it was not her, Ling Tianyi would not argue with Ling Desheng. What was more, she was afraid that something serious would happen to Ling Desheng and He Meishu and Ling Tianxue would scold her as well.
Ling Tianyi bought a lot of food, he asked Xia Xiaoluo to send it to He Meishu and Ling Tianxue first, and then he went to find the director. He wanted to know why Ling Desheng had a heart attack suddenly.
When he found the director, a beautiful girl greeted him enthusiastically, “Hi! Yi! Long time no see!”
Ling Tianyi wasn’t able to recall her. Was she one of his former sex partners or the family members of the business partners?
“I’m Qiao Anna, one of the friends and schoolmates of Tianxue! We’ve met before, but you forgot me!” Realizing that Ling Tianyi has forgotten her, Qiao Anna introduced herself with enthusiasm even though she felt disappointed.
Hearing what Qiao Anna said, Ling Tianyi seemed to remember her a little, so he said, “Hello!”
Ling Tianyi just did that out of politeness. He only loved Xia Xiaoluo now, so no matter how beautiful and charming other women were, he would not be interested.
“Manager Ling, did you come for your father?” The director asked.
“Yes! I want to know his real condition in detail!” Ling Tianyi said directly. He thought that the director dared not to conceal anything to him.
“What happened? Is Uncle Ling ill? Uncle, please help them! Just tell Yi the truth, don’t make Yi anxious!” Qiao Anna said and pretended that she concerned Ling Desheng very much.
The director frowned. He began to explain the situation to Ling Tianyi. He was the director, but he was experienced in cardiovascular diseases. Although he dared not to perform the operation personally, he could explain it clearly.
Ling Tianyi nodded after hearing the director’s words, he added, “Well, what caused the heart attack? Fatigue, wrong food or anger?”
“We are still working it out. Your father has a weak heart, so many reasons could result in the consequence, including the change of the weather, food and irritation.” The director didn’t answer Ling Tianyi directly because he dared not to offend Ling Tianyi nor Ling Desheng.
Last night, Ling Desheng called him, telling him that he wanted to implant a heart stent. The doctor suggested that when Ling Desheng took the physical examination last time. But Ling Desheng also said something serious to the director, which made him in a dilemma.
Not daring to offend both Ling Tianyi and Ling Desheng who were powerful in A City, the director had to answer Ling Tianyi’s question in a vague way.
However, he didn’t expect that the heart attack was so real and serious when Ling Desheng was sent to the hospital. He ordered the most excellent doctors to perform the operation after the examination, because he must save Ling Desheng’s life no matter the heart attack was true or not. As the director of the hospital, he could not afford the consequence if Ling Desheng had something wrong.
From his expressions, Ling Tianyi realized that the director was concealing something, there must be something he didn’t know. But he wasn’t able to make it clear. However, Ling Tianyi believed that Yao Sheng would make it out if he was here. Yao Sheng has been chasing Shen Jiani these days. Now it was the New Year, he would come back. So Ling Tianyi wanted to ask Yao Sheng to investigate it for him.
“Yi, don’t worry! Everything will be alright!” Qiao Anna said to attract Ling Tianyi’s attention again.
However, Ling Tianyi ignored her and said to the director, “Please try your best and inform me at once if something happens.”
“Yes, we will report to you about Sir Ling’s situation at any time!” The director answered politely, he took what Ling Tianyi said as an order.
Ling Tianyi did not say anything, he wanted to go to the operating room to see his father and Xia Xiaoluo. He was afraid that He Meishu and Ling Tianxue would scold and embarrass Xia Xiaoluo deliberately.
Qiao Anna kept her eyes on Ling Tianyi with obsession, but the director told her, “Little fool, he loves somebody else! Don’t think about him anymore!”
“Uncle, I am just enjoying his handsome appearance!” Qiao Anna took one of his uncle’s arms and said like a spoiled child.
“Alas! Take care of yourself then! He is not an ordinary person. Not suitable for every woman!” After that, the director sat on his chair, continued to work on Ling Desheng’s illness in order to give Ling Tianyi a reply, which was very difficult.
Arriving at the door of the operating room, Ling Tianyi saw that Xia Xiaoluo was on the floor and the food they bought was overturned to the clean floor of the hospital.
“Xiaoluo!” Ling Tianyi rushed to Xia Xiaoluo at once.
“Xiaoluo, what happened?” Ling Tianyi helped Xia Xiaoluo to stand up, embracing her.
“Nothing, I’m fine!” Xia Xiaoluo bit her lips, suppressing her tears reluctantly.
Ling Tianyi glanced at He Meishu and Ling Tianxue, which made them shiver. Later, Ling Tianyi ignored He Meishu and stared at Ling Tianxue, he shouted, “It must be you! You pulled Xiaoluo down, right?”
“No!” Ling Tianxue said boldly.
“Well, who did it?” Ling Tianyi asked and glanced at He Meishu at the same time. He would not forgive anyone who hurt his wife even though it was his mother.
“Nobody pushed me! I fell down and overturned the food by accident!” Xia Xiaoluo told a lie for fear that Ling Tianyi would argue with his mother because of her.
In fact, Xia Xiaoluo was pushed down by He Meishu, but she had to keep it a secret from Ling Tianyi.
Ling Desheng was in the hospital because Ling Tianyi argued with him due to her, so Xia Xiaoluo must try her best to avoid other conflicts, if He Meishu had something due to her as well, she would offer up her life as penance.
She did not want to be the femme fatale, so Xia Xiaoluo had to bear it because she didn’t want to make trouble. What was more, He Meishu was her husband’s mother after all.
“Xiaoluo, I’m here with you, so don’t be afraid!” Ling Tianyi stared at He Meishu when he said to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Darling, I’ve told you the truth! I fell down by accident and overturned the food. Let’s buy some food for mom and Tianxue!” Xia Xiaoluo said, she wanted to take Ling Tianyi away to avoid the conflicts between Ling Tianyi and his mother.
“Thank you, but no need! I’m not hungry and I don’t want to eat anything as well! I will overturn whatever you buy for us again! I will also push you if you persuade me again!” He Meishu said proudly.
Ling Tianyi was irritated, he clenched his fists tightly.
“Brother, are you going to hit mom?” Ling Tianxue stood in front of He Meishu to protect her, but she really hoped that things could become worse.
“Darling, stop! Let’s go to buy something to eat!” Xia Xiaoluo took one of Ling Tianyi’s arms to stop him.
“How dare you! Your father is in the hospital because of you! What’s more, you want to beat me up? How dare you to offend your parents because of this woman! Did she asked you to do that?” He Meishu shouted harshly.
“Mom, enough is enough! I will not say anything as long as you apologize to Xiaoluo.” Although Ling Tianyi was furious, he didn’t really beat He Meishu up because he knew that He Meishu was his mother. However, if it was somebody else, even Ling Tianxue, he would definitely beat her up with his fists.
