Chapter 66.
Tangli is engaged in fashion design. This time she returned to China because she wanted to focus her career in China. After staying abroad for several years, Tangli still preferred the domestic environment, so she opened a studio in partnership with her friends to specialize in personal customization for celebrities.
As soon as their meeting ended, their friend Lin Xuening proposed to go out for a party. She had this idea because she had not reminisced with Tangli for several years, and they usually only talked about business. At that time, Tangli was still working abroad, and there was nothing else to do except business. It's easy to talk about, but now that she has returned to china, how can she continue to talk about business matters instead of friendship?
However, Lin Xuening's suggestion did not receive an answer from Tang Li. The mobile phone at hand attracted Tang Li's thoughts. Lin Xuening carefully noticed the change in Tang Li's eyes. It was a natural relaxation. Lin Xuening was even more curious when she saw this. Who made the call? How could Tangli show such an expression?
Tangli rested her forehead lazily, and her tone was very soothing. Although she was smiling, the slight frown between her eyebrows showed that Tangli was worried about Shen Zhaozhao.
After Lin Xuening heard Tang Li's words, she and her friends beside her shrugged and said, "It seems that someone has decided on the designer Tang Li before us."
Her friend Jennifer smiled and punched her, scolding: "What do you mean it's settled? Maybe Tangli will come to our party after she's done with her work."
Tangli sorted out the information at hand and said to Jenniferni: "I'm sorry, I can't go to the party this time, so I will reimburse the expenses this time. Jennifer, don't get drunk tonight, abroad I can still drive to pick you up, but I haven't bought a car in china yet."
Jennifer is a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She is a language genius and is proficient in several languages. This time she switched jobs and came to Tangli's studio. It can be said to be a very risky gamble, but she doesn't care. She is pursuing excitememt.
Jennifer enthusiastically hugged Lin Xuening next to her, like a passionate person. She has already an old love towards Tangli, and now her new love is Lin Xuening. She said: "You don't need to come to pick her up. I live with my dear Xuening now."
Tang Li raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Lin Xuening sympathetically, and sighed: "Then you will be really miserable in the future."
"Dear Tang, are you jealous?"
Tangli picked up the materials gracefully, smiled, and was gentle. What is attractive about her is that she is harmless and does not bring a sense of intimidation. People can't help but be impressed by her temperament.
She was such a woman, but her words were very ruthless. She glanced at the excited Jennifer and said with a faint smile: "Oh, my friend, after seeing how you look when you are drunk, I think I should not be tempted by you."
"Oh! Oh my god!" Jennifer got up and fell into Lin Xuening's arms, clutching her chest. Her blue eyes were so sad that she seemed ready to cry in the next second. Lin Xuening was the one who was deceived by her acting skills.
Tang Li dismissive. She had seen this kind of drama countless times. Besides...
She curled her lips and said with a smile: "Jennifer, there is no need to use a beauty trap on me."
"Why? Why are you so ruthless and not fooled by me!"
She thought for a moment, and seeing Jennifer's eyes eager to get the truth, Tangli explained: "Only those who have intentions for you will be fooled by you. Besides, I have seen a woman who is more beautiful than you when she cries, so your honey trap doesn't work on me."
Tangli shook her fingers and said, "Let's make an appointment another day."
She closed the door behind her, cutting off the sight of others following her back.
Jennifer's smart head was a little stuck at this moment, and she couldn't turn around for the time being. She looked at Lin Xuening doubtfully and said: "She means that there is a woman who is more beautiful than me, so she fell into that woman's honey trap?"
Lin Xuening blinked and said hesitantly, "That's what Tangli meant."
"Oh no!"
Jennifer was really heartbroken this time. She was breathing hard, leaning into Lin Xuening's arms and saying with loss, "She actually had the heart to leave me."
"Well, Jennifer, your words will make people misunderstand that Tangli and you are a couple."
"This is my dream."
Lin Xuening laughed and shook her head, and said: "Although Tangli often has a smiling face and is easy to talk to, this kind of person is the hardest to get close to. So Tangli, who has many suitors, has zero love interest so far. I'm quite curious, which immortal can pick this flower of her."
"Is Tang sexually indifferent?"
Jennifer's words were so shocking that Lin Xuening burst into laughter and teased: "Then I really don't know."
Jennifer quickly rejected her question. She looked incomprehensible and said: "Based on my understanding of Tang, she must be the dominant one in bed."
"Jennifer, you can ask Tang Li about this." Lin Xuening gave her advice with evil intentions.
The blond beauty immediately shook her head, shouted "NO" three times in a row, and said, "I will die miserably."
"Pfft, cunning Jennifer."
Fortunately, Tang Li didn't hear her friend's gossip, otherwise she would have said scary things with a smile.
Now Tangli gets in the car and rushes to the hospital. Although taking a taxi is very convenient now, she still needs to buy a car.
Tang Li was thinking about picking up the car later, but she was most worried about Shen Zhaozhao in the hospital.
She unconsciously closed her fingers and rubbed her knuckles. Tangli felt that she had been too hasty before and should wait until Shen Zhaozhao was completely discharged from the hospital before leaving, so as to avoid what happened today.
Tang Li was careless this time, thinking that Shen Zhaozhao's parents would be somewhat concerned about Shen Zhaozhao's condition, and would at least learn about her current condition from the doctor. The doctors said not to go against Shen Zhaozhao's memory for the time being, as a stimulus might cause more serious consequences, so Tangli silently accepted the plot and character arrangements Shen Zhaozhao arranged for her. Fortunately, Shen Zhaozhao told her to break up with her. If so, Tangli's "living environment" would no longer be so difficult.
She, a stranger, was willing to follow Shen Zhaozhao, so it was unexpected that her parents were an accident.
Listening to Shen Zhaozhao's tone on the phone, she was obviously very angry. It seemed that the appearance of Shen's mother and Shen's father had not shaken Shen Zhaozhao's memory. She firmly believed that the absurd and magical memory in her mind was true.
Tang Li pursed her lips helplessly, the bug was indeed a bug, it was just so outrageous.
She arrived at the hospital quickly and arrived at Shen Zhaozhao's department smoothly.
The nurse who knew her hurriedly waved to her, and Tangli ran, her khaki skirt rippling.
Tangli entered the ward and call: "Shen Zhaozhao."
She walked past Mother Shen, and her beautiful face made everyone press the pause button in unison.
When Tang Li saw Shen Zhaozhao, her heart dropped.
Shen Zhaozhao is strong. Although her eyes are red, this is a physiological phenomenon that she cannot control. She can't help but cry when she quarrels with others. Even if she has the confidence, she will still cry first without any hope, and her momentum is not good. It will weaken accordingly, so Shen Zhaozhao really hates her crying personality. What a big deal, isn't it just that she met a liar? Why cry? A few tears can make the other party admit defeat? That's definitely not possible, so can you please stop crying?
She complained and scorned, but when she saw Tang Li, she could no longer hold back her strength.
Shen Zhaozhao stretched out her arms, hugged Tang Li's waist, and cried, "That fat woman scolded me. Even when doctors and nurses came to break up the fight, she still scolded me. The short man beside her did nothing but add fuel to the fire. You know how to do it, Tangli, I can't even scold her with my mouth, ah, I'm so pissed off, so pissed off."
Tangli's body became stiff because of her movements. After listening to her cry, Tangli raised her hand and touched her hair. The movements might be a little unnatural at first, but gradually Tangli understood how she was doing. Only then can Shen Zhaozhao feel comforted.
Caressing the hair gently, one after another.
She said: "Don't be angry anymore. I'm here now, right? You should be able to curse with two mouths."
"Yeah!" Shen Zhaozhao found someone she could rely on, and her uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
Shen Zhaozhao's description of Shen's mother and Shen's father is accurate. Isn't Shen's mother just a fat woman who likes to lose her temper? Although her husband, Father Shen, is an honest man, he is also very hateful. The dog that barks the most cannot bite. Even though it is Mother Shen who takes the lead every time, it is Father Shen who is really bad.
Tangli patted Shen Zhaozhao and motioned for her to release her hands.
Tangli turned around and blocked Shen Zhaozhao behind her. Her eyes were cold, with a cold look on her face.
She expressed deep disgust and contempt for these two people, so she said, "Is there anything you two can't say calmly?"
"Who are you?" Mother Shen looked up and down at Tangli warily.
Shen Zhaozhao raised her face and said, "This is my ex-girlfriend!"
Mother Shen crossed her arms mockingly and said in a weird tone: "Oh, when did my daughter have an ex-girlfriend? How come I didn't know about it? Maybe you are the liar. Zhaozhao said it before, you are a bully. Since you are already a bully, wouldn't it be easy to deceive a woman casually? Zhaozhao, mom understands that you are angry with me. You are blaming me and your dad for not coming to see you, but you must also be considerate. The difficulties faced by parents are also not easy for us."
Tangli looked sideways and asked in a low voice: "Bully?"
Shen Zhaozhao pretended to be cute and pointed at her fingers, and also answered her in a low voice: "If I don't say this, it will appear that the two of us are easy to bully. To describe you as a bully means that there is someone above me."
"...Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
"Hey-hey."
They turned a blind eye to Mother Shen's long speech and talked about their affairs affectionately.
Tang Li was too lazy to argue with Shen's mother, and Shen Zhaozhao was sure that Shen's mother was a liar, so she ignored them in a harmonious and tacit understanding.
When has Mother Shen ever experienced this indifference? She acts like a slave in front of rich people, but in front of others, she is a promising ancestor!
She had looked at Tangli's clothes in advance. As far as she knew, luxury brands did not have these styles, so Tangli must have bought them casually from a street stall. She was not a rich person, at most she was beautiful. But how can she be more beautiful than her daughter?
She was not afraid of Tangli at all, and took a step forward with the intention of pushing Tangli away.
Father Shen hesitated and wanted to reach out to hold Mother Shen, but then he thought about it and put down his hand.
Forget it, let her make trouble. What Zhaozhao said is indeed too ugly. There are all parents in the world. If a daughter does not consider her parents, that is unfilial.
"Tangli, be careful!"
Tang Li looked at Shen's mother with a fierce look on her face alertly, grabbed her right hand that was about to make a move, applied a slight force, and said with a gentle face: "You are older, be careful, don't fall."
Her strength shocked Mother Shen. Mother Shen was in panic. She wanted to pull her hand back but found that she was delusional. Mother Shen's expression no longer looked as aloof as before. She looked at Tangli as if she were looking at a monster. How come the arm, which is so slender that it can be broken at a touch, seems to be welded my wrist, motionless.
Tang Li dragged Shen's mother towards her. Her clear eyes contained a hint of coldness. Her voice was melodious and she said, "Shen Zhaozhao needs to rest. If you have anything to say, we can go out and talk. Don't disturb her. Be quiet. After all, this is a hospital, and you don't want to be treated like a joke to others."
"You... let go first."
People who are strong and cruel trample on the weak and when they encounter someone much stronger and crueler they are afraid of losing their lives.
Tang Li was the one who would be cruel to Shen's mother, so Shen's mother stopped showing her teeth and claws and suddenly became like a well-behaved quail.
"No, in case you accidentally fall to the ground and break your bones later, just let me support you by respecting the elderly and caring for the young."
Tang Li said to Shen Zhaozhao, "I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon."
"Tangli, you'd better talk to them here, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."
Tangli smiled and curled her beautiful eyes. Some words were not suitable to be said here, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, I am also a bully after all."
Shen Zhaozhao laughed while wiping her tears. She had complete trust in Tangli, as if Tangli could handle anything. She didn't know why she had this kind of confidence. Although it was exaggerated, Shen Zhaozhao was pleased by this thought
.
"Then be careful."
"Okay."
Without the noisy people, the ward returned to its usual tranquility.
Nurse Guo handed Shen Zhaozhao a tissue and asked tentatively: "Zhaozhao, don't you think those two look familiar?"
Shen Zhaozhao frowned suspiciously and said in confusion: "Xiao Guo, why should I be curious about them? They pretended to be my parents from the very beginning. It's good that I didn't get angry with them, but they still had the nerve to scold me, they keep saying they are my parents. It's really ridiculous. My parents have been dead for many years. I have lost my memory of some things, but not everything. I believe in my memory more than them."
Seeing Shen Zhaozhao's aggrieved face, Nurse Guo comforted her distressedly and said, "Oh, I'm just asking a casual question. Just treat it with a deaf ear. Don't think too much about your own memory. Zhaozhao, wait when you get out of the hospital, let's go eat hot pot, there's a restaurant that's particularly delicious!"
"Yeah!"
Nurse Guo thought about the excellent behavior shown by Shen Zhaozhao's parents before, and every word was so suffocating, and suddenly she understood why Shen Zhaozhao was willing to forget her parents.
Sometimes it's really a good thing to forget the past.
Tangli took Shen's mother and Shen's father directly to Dr. Zhang's office. He also heard the commotion in the ward and became even more impatient with the two of them.
Shen's mother finally had a chance to rub her wrists. She was afraid of Tang Li's strength, and she became more honest.
Without her jumping up and down, Dr. Zhang successfully talked about Shen Zhaozhao's condition to her family members for the first time. He had always talked about her condition through Tangli before, but now he could meet the family members.
Mother Shen stood up in shock, unable to sit still at all. She raised her voice and said, "My daughter Shen Zhaozhao has lost her memory? Your hospital didn't say she had lost her memory on the phone!"
"..The nurse who notified the family clearly stated the current condition of the patient. If you don't believe it, I can ask the nurse to retrieve the recording of that day."
Mother Shen smiled and rejected Dr. Zhang's proposal. She originally wanted to do something wrong, but she didn't expect that the hospital was very well prepared.
She had a vague impression of it, but knowing that her daughter was awake and safe, she didn't think much about it.
In fact, when Shen Zhaozhao didn't come home, Shen's mother thought it was related to Zhang Pingfan, so she didn't take it to heart. Anyway, it was a good thing for her daughter to get involved with Zhang Pingfan. But it's not normal to not come back for a day or two. No one answered the call to Shen Zhaozhao. She went to ask Zhang Pingfan's mother and learned that Zhang Pingfan was on a business trip. Where did the daughter go?
If the police hadn't contacted Shen's mother, she would probably still be as anxious as a headless fly at home.
Tangli rubbed her temples, her ears hurt by her harsh voice.
"No wonder Zhaozhao can't recognize her father and I. Doctor, when will this return to normal?"
Dr. Zhang took out Shen Zhaozhao's brain CT and told Shen's mother about Shen Zhaozhao's current condition.
In short, it is just one word, unknown.
The time for recovery cannot be scientifically verified, so Dr. Zhang cannot give a very definite answer.
Mother Shen cried sadly, and Father Shen frowned and asked, "If Zhaozhao doesn't recover for a day, then she can't recognize us for a day? Are we going to hide it from her and not tell Zhaozhao the truth?"
"According to our observations, Shen Zhaozhao firmly believes in the remaining memories in her brain. If she is forced to accept the reality, I am afraid... it will cause a stress reaction."
Mother Shen said at a loss: "Then what should we do?"
"I am a doctor. I can only explain the patient's condition to the family members. As for other things, I can't do anything."
Father Shen held his wife's shoulders, looked at Tang Li who had not spoken for a long time, and said, "Miss Tang, we all want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't know what to do these days."
"I accept your thanks." Tangli did not shirk. Shen Zhaozhao's parents would not take advantage of it.
Mother Shen saw Tang Li wearing a polite smile and a non-aggressive look. It seemed that this kind of woman looked very easy to deceive. She was determined to deceive her and came up with another idea. She said, "Miss Tang, now my daughter Zhao Zhao is not able to do anything at all. She doesn't know me or her dad, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you more in the future. Do you think this will work? I'll give you money every month, and you can help take care of Zhao Zhao for the time being. I'll ask someone to contact other doctors when the time comes to treat Zhaozhao."
Tangli finally saw how terrifying Shen's mother was in her unreliability. She stared at Shen's mother with a look that was hard to explain. Is this person addicted to being a hands-off shopkeeper? There are so many ways to choose this one?
The more Shen's mother talked, the more it made sense, "Zhaozhao used to work in her father's small company, and of course she can't go there anymore. She has to find another job. When her left leg heals, I will take care of her again. Find a class for her, so that even if Zhao Zhao loses her memory, I can know her movements anytime and anywhere."
She patted her thigh and said with a smile: "Parents have to worry about their daughter, otherwise the child will flutter her wings and fly elsewhere. That's not possible. I have raised her for so many years, and everything about her must be done with my consent. There are many scammers nowadays, and I am doing this for her own good."
She and Shen's father are busy at work, and their daughter doesn't recognize them now, so Shen's mother can only focus on Tangli and pay her to keep an eye on her daughter and take care of her. Not only does she help them, but Tangli an also make money, get the best of both worlds.
Tangli was speechless and choked. Looking at Father Shen and Mother Shen, she really couldn't imagine how these parents could raise a daughter like Shen Zhaozhao.
Is this the legendary bad bamboo that produces good bamboo shoots?
Dr. Zhang was also shocked by Mother Shen's shamelessness. This was no longer frightening, but terrifying.
Tangli sneered and asked, "Why do you think I would accept such a proposal?"
"Zhaozhao only remembers you and not us. You can't blame me for that. If you want to blame, just blame Zhaozhao."
Tang Li sneered with deep eyes, "I won't blame Shen Zhaozhao."
She glanced at Shen's father and Shen's mother and said, "Shen Zhaozhao was right to forget you."
Parents who are selfish and greedy are not worthy of being remembered by Shen Zhaozhao.
"Remember to pay the money to the card number that you paid for hospitalization before."
Of course I want the money, leave it to Shen Zhaozhao.
She turned around and left. The few words she said before leaving hurt Mother Shen's heart. She froze on the spot and lost the ability to refute.
Tangli didn't take these unscrupulous parents seriously, but when Tangli returned to the ward, she thought about it and opened the door.
This push away will once again change the relationship between her and Shen Zhaozhao.
Tangli thought about it carefully, and between the two choices of pushing away or not pushing away, she decisively chose to push away.
If she could really be cruel to Shen Zhaozhao, she would not rush to the hospital just because of a phone call. To put it bluntly, her kindness towards Shen Zhaozhao has not dried up yet.
So, she came.
Three days have passed since the last time the two of them were separated.
Meeting again made Shen Zhaozhao's silent heart become active again.
She knew it was wrong for her to do this, and she should not continue to be immersed in the sense of security brought by Tangli.
However, this contradiction will only aggravate Shen Zhaozhao's attention towards Tangli.
While thinking about separation from her, at the same time thinking not to separate.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at Tangli absentmindedly and said, "Thank you to my parents for their spirit in heaven."
Because of you, I saw through the liar and found the opportunity to contact Tang Li.
Tangli came over and rubbed her hair with her hands. Her eyes were smiling and extremely gentle, and she said, "Say it again."
Shen Zhaozhao blinked her eyes and spoke again with a bald mouth.
Tangli laughed.
The anger she felt for Shen Zhaozhao disappeared at this moment.
"Shen Zhaozhao."
"Are you willing to share a room with me?"
