Chapter 140.
The man was so angry that he seemed to have seen something that was unacceptable to him. He ignored Chu Tinglan's wishes and pulled Chu Tinglan towards him. The anger in his eyes made Li Ziwei's eyebrows look mean. He raised his head and lowered his voice and shouted, "Ting Lan, just stay still and don't move!"
His reprimand had a preaching tone. Li Ziwei didn't want Chu Tinglan to do these things that displeased him. In his heart, Chu Tinglan could be naughty, unruly and ignorant. Li Ziwei will not feel uncomfortable with her temper, he will pamper her. Who makes Chu Tinglan the woman he likes?
Li Ziwei is a few years older than Chu Tinglan. When he learned to survive by looking at people's glances, Chu Tinglan was innocent and lively, enjoying good food and clothing. She was a child who grew up in family ties. Unlike him, Li Ziwei envied her. At the same time, he couldn't restrain the jealousy in his heart. He wanted to keep a distance from Chu Tinglan, but every time he got along with her, Li Ziwei couldn't help but get closer to her.
In the eyes of the outside world, Chu Tinglan is an elegant and noble daughter of the Chu family, born to be extraordinary.
But in Li Ziwei's eyes, Chu Tinglan was clever and ghostly, and often did rebellious things. She was often dragged into the study by Father Chu for education, which was completely inconsistent with the outside world's view of her.
It is Chu Tinglan who makes Li Ziwei always smile proudly when he hears others praising her, because only a few of them know Chu Tinglan's true character, and he must be different in Chu Tinglan's heart, otherwise why didn't Chu Tinglan cover it up? This already shows that she regards Li Ziwei as her closest person.
This was Li Ziwei's true thoughts. Years of misunderstandings made him become more and more interested in Chu Tinglan. The feelings that should not have appeared were suppressed in his heart until Father Chu wanted to engage Chu Tinglan, and the candidate was Qiao Yu, who came from a good family and looked good. He immediately tore away Li Ziwei's perfect disguise.
In his opinion, he is the best husband candidate for Chu Tinglan, his childhood sweetheart. Why would Father Chu choose an unfamiliar Qiao Yu rather than consider him? It's nothing more than looking down on him and thinking that he is just an adopted person. How can he compare to Qiao Yu?
The more Li Ziwei thought about it, the more extreme he became, and finally he did something to hurt Chu Tinglan.
Chu Tinglan was his exclusive possession, someone he had accompanied since childhood, so Li Ziwei did not allow anyone to take her away.
Men can't do it, and women can't do it!
Li Ziwei stared with a fierce look and devoid of integrity. He held Chu Tinglan's hand tightly as if it was welded to her wrist and refused to move. His actions immediately angered the two women present.
Chu Tinglan frowned in disgust, trying to shake off Li Ziwei.
But Tangli reacted faster than she did. She raised her fist and hit the side of Li Ziwei's face. The force of the impact made Li Ziwei stumble back a few steps.
Tangli smiled and said coldly, "I'm warning you, don't touch Tinglan, you're disgusting."
Tangli no longer restrained her momentum. Now she no longer needed to pretend to be pitiful. In the past, she did not want to make mistakes in the plot and could not meet Chu Tinglan. After Tangli entered the Chu family, she gradually wants to show off her edge and convinceothers, Tangli must show her true ability.
The research results used in surrendering were Tangli's first step. Once the first step is taken, the next step will be much easier. Moreover, Chu Tinglan has recovered all her memories, so Tangli has no worries.
Her hands are soft, but her fists are hard enough. She may not be as good as Li Ziwei in terms of physical strength, but Tangli has accumulated experience in many worlds, and she can still torture Li Ziwei to death with her skill.
Li Ziwei wiped the numb corners of his mouth. He couldn't believe that Tang Li dared to resist like this. He asked, "You don't want to live anymore?"
Tangli retracted her hand with a comfortable and gentle smile, but her words didn't sound pleasant, "I'll hit you if I hit you. Do I need to choose a day?"
Chu Tinglan took out several paper towels, wiped her own hands and then wiped Tangli's hands, "We are really unlucky. We can meet him eating downstairs."
Tangli blinked innocently, "The back of my hand hurts."
The hand she handed over was the one used to hit Li Ziwei just now. Chu Tinglan rubbed it helplessly, "Be careful, don't think of yourself as an invulnerable god."
Listening to her accusation, Tangli complied with Chu Tinglan's words. She no longer had the arrogance when she was sarcastic about Li Ziwei. At this moment, Tangli had put away all her sharp edges.
She would attack Li Ziwei because Li Ziwei took Chu Tinglan away from Tang Li. This was completely provoking Tang Li. She would not tolerate it and would never give Li Ziwei this chance.
The warmth and sweetness between Tang Li and Chu Tinglan stung Li Ziwei's eyes severely. He felt unspeakable humiliation and betrayal. This made Li Ziwei's eyes look at the two of them full of malice, especially towards Tang Li, he wished that she would die right now.
He is so vicious that he is even willing to hurt the woman he likes, let alone Tangli, who has already attracted his hatred value?
The commotion in the living room caught the nanny's attention. She walked out and took a look, shouting in surprise, "Ting Lan! Ting Lan! You finally woke up. When did you wake up? What happened to this matter? You didn't tell us, please let me take a look at you, it's great, it's great that you can wake up."
The nanny could finally breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the rosy-cheeked Chu Tinglan. As long as Chu Tinglan was safe, the Chu family would not be in chaos.
She had already had a problem with Li Ziwei, and the nanny didn't like Li Ziwei even more because of the dispute they just had.
The nanny caught a glimpse of Li Ziwei rubbing the corner of his mouth, and subconsciously became concerned about Chu Tinglan and Tang Li. The man's eyes looked ungrateful, and who knew if he might hit a woman.
When you hate someone, even panting is a mistake, so the nanny speculates about Li Ziwei casually, not wanting to see him doing well.
"Are you two okay? Look at my memory. It's a good thing that Ting Lan wakes up. Let's go find the Master and the old steward quickly."
The evening breeze at night was very comfortable. The old steward didn't want Father Chu to be bored in the room, so he suggested going to the garden to relax. As for the dinner, Father Chu was not in the mood to share it with Li Ziwei, so he dismissed Li Ziwei with a perfunctory excuse.
The nanny was very curious about Chu Tinglan's sudden awakening, and asked, "I said that Ting Lan will definitely wake up if she is lucky. Xiaoli, when did Ting Lan wake up?"
Chu Tinglan rescued Tang Li, and there was also Li Ziwei who was watching her eagerly. Some words cannot be said in too much detail. Chu Tinglan explained, "I didn't wake up for long, and Xiaoli was reading to me in the room at that time. I opened my eyes and even shocked Xiaoli."
Tangli saw her acting out her surprised expression vividly, as if something like that really happened between the two of them. Tangli suppressed her smile and nodded in agreement, a picture of "everything she said is right." expression.
The laughter of the three women highlighted Li Ziwei's sinister silence. Tangli glanced at him, then lowered her eyes and smiled slightly after a moment. He was just a grasshopper after autumn and could not jump around for long.
The nanny urged to find Father Chu and the old steward quickly, but coincidentally, they bumped into Father Chu in a wheelchair as soon as they went out.
His daughter's improvement and recovery can be described as a great joy from heaven.
Father Chu touched Chu Tinglan's face with trembling hands. His turbid eyes were trying hard to see Chu Tinglan. He was old and his vision was blurry, but Father Chu would always remember his daughter's appearance. Fortunately, the child he and his wife love most is fine. Otherwise, how would he go to see his wife in the future?
"It'll be fine if you wake up, it'll be fine if you wake up. Tinglan, you've become thinner."
Chu Tinglan half-crouched, holding down her father's trembling hand, smiling brightly, and said softly, "Dad, you have lost weight too."
The old steward burst into tears and sighed, "You are unconscious and Master has no appetite to eat. I have to persuade him to think more about you every time. Only in this way can Master force himself to eat."
Chu Tinglan said reproachfully, "Dad, I still want you to live a long life. What if you don't eat well? I'm healthy now. I'll cook your favorite dishes for you tomorrow. You should take good care of your body."
The old steward just showed joy, but then thought that he was not suitable to interrupt, so he lost his voice.
Father Chu smiled, "I'm old and won't live long, but since Ting Lan has said so, I must take good care of my health in the future, and I have to watch you get married."
When the subject of marriage came up, Li Ziwei stood there silently and clenched his back teeth. He looked at Tangli with malice. He wanted to see what Tangli could do! Compared with Tangli, he has a better chance of winning, doesn't he?
But Chu Tinglan's response shattered all Li Ziwei's hopes.
"Dad, I'm not getting married. I plan to focus on my career in the next few years. I'm still young. It's better to let me take care of the company's affairs before getting married."
Father Chu couldn't hide his surprise and blurted out, "Manage the company? What about Qiao Yu?"
Chu Tinglan didn't expect her father to pose this problem to her. She didn't need to look back to know how scary Tangli's gaze was. She hurriedly explained, "Dad, I'm not interested in him. I don't like him."
"How can that be done? The child cared about you very much during your accident and came to visit you often. I won't hide it from you anymore. Qiao Yu once said to me that he would not give up even if you never wake up. He would like to marry you."
Chu Tinglan said with a smile, "Dad, he's not doing it for me, he's doing it for your company. When my accident happened, did anyone in my family dislike me? Absolutely not, so Qiao Yu is not that special."
Father Chu smiled helplessly and shook his head, revealing Chu Tinglan's thoughts, "After all, you just don't want to get married."
"Yes."
There was no pause in his daughter's tone, and Father Chu hesitated to speak. He wanted to refute Chu Tinglan's words as before, thinking that his daughter should obey his father's guidance by nature, but Chu's father quickly thought of what he had done most during this period. One thing he did was to reflect. He was probably really afraid that his daughter would never wake up in this life, so Father Chu put down his airs and began to think about the past. Without his daughter to act like a baby by his side, he felt very lonely at home. In the deserted situation, Fatger Chu realized that he had done too many unfair things to his daughter. Regret enveloped Father Chu, making him lose his appetite, and his body couldn't stand his willfulness, causing problems.
The words rolled over and over on the tip of his tongue. Father Chu patted the top of Chu Tinglan's hair with relief and said, "It's up to you. Your happiness is the most important thing."
He doesn't want to lose his daughter again.
Just... follow her.
Chu Tinglan was very surprised. She was prepared to have it go in her left ear and out her right ear. She didn't expect her father to make a compromise in the end.
Chu Tinglan cheered and said, "Long live dad!"
She snatched away the old steward's job. When she stood up, she winked at Tang Li and signaled her to follow her pace, and then pushed Father Chu to take the indoor elevator upstairs.
The old steward looked at this scene that could only appear in dreams and smiled happily.
Just as the nanny thought, as long as Chu Tinglan wakes up, the Chu family will not be in chaos.
The old steward did not disturb the tenderness between father and daughter. His thoughts remained on Li Ziwei. The old steward was not yet blinded by old age. He saw Li Ziwei's eyes clearly and felt a little sad for a moment.
Speaking of which, it was the old steward who brought Li Ziwei back from the orphanage. His overly sensible personality was the reason why he was chosen. The old steward vividly remembered that Li Ziwei gave the biscuit to a child younger than him, and from that moment on, the old steward has already made a decision.
Children who do not fight or grab are the most suitable to play with Chu Tinglan and grow up.
It's just that many years have passed, and the child who made the old steward feel so distressed has changed into something else.
"Avi."
"Uncle Li." Li Ziwei turned around.
The old steward bent his back, smiled kindly, "I still remember the first time I met you because I saw you giving the cookies to other children. I knew you were a child who made people worry-free. I think you've grown up."
Li Ziwei didn't think of what the old steward said for a while. He wanted to ask more, but the old steward pointed at the corner of his mouth and said, "Who are you fighting with outside again?"
Li Ziwei suddenly couldn't say anything. Firstly, his thoughts were not right; secondly, it was too embarrassing that he didn't even avoid a woman's attack. So Li Ziwei avoided the old steward's words, "It's okay."
But the nanny was angry with him before, and the person who supported her woke up again. Of course, the nanny was not afraid of Li Ziwei, so the nanny said casually, as if unintentionally, "Didn't he get beaten by Xiaoli? I don't think this child is either, even on a young man like Awei dares to take action, and I don't know how many grievances and pains she has suffered in the past. No wonder I see that Xiaoli still has an old injury on her finger. Let me tell you, her uncle is really not a thing, he has a bad heart and a dog's lungs!"
She cursed, and her eyes involuntarily drifted to Li Ziwei. The nanny stopped when she was satisfied, wiped her hands on her apron, and took the food on the table back to the kitchen. He didn't want to eat, so she ate it by herself!
"Avi, come with me."
Although the old steward is old, his majesty is still there. Even if Li Ziwei is unwilling to do so, he has to follow him obediently.
Tangli, who was lying on the fence upstairs and looking down, smiled. Chu Tinglan asked Father Chu in a low voice, who was sitting in the wheelchair, and praised Tangli generously to Father Chu. She said, "Dad, you see there are still red marks on my wrists. These are all given by Li Ziwei. If Tang Li hadn't rescued me, Li Ziwei probably wouldn't have wanted to let go of me."
Father Chu's face darkened. How could he not know that Li Ziwei was thinking a lot and would propose an engagement to Chu Tinglan to remind him to put away his unwanted thoughts. Later, his daughter had a car accident, and Li Ziwei was also present at the time, even though Father Chu was very resourceful, he never thought that Li Ziwei would be so cruel as to touch Chu Tinglan. He listened to Tang Li and investigated Li Ziwei, and sure enough, he found the evidence.
Father Chu wanted to slowly kill Li Ziwei, and deliberately let the old steward reveal to him, to give Li Ziwei the illusion that he was about to die. But now that his daughter has regained consciousness, Li Ziwei suddenly became less important.
"Ting Lan, Avi is already quite old. It is a waste of talent to stay at home and be a steward. I plan to let him develop abroad."
It would be better for Li Ziwei to get out of the country than stay in the country, and stay out of sight. Without him as a protector for Li Ziwei, he would not have a good life.
Chu Tinglan pushed him into the study and joked, "Uncle Li, are you willing to let him go?"
"It's not like I want him to die, there's no need to let him go." Father Chu said this without changing his face. This shows that he is an indifferent and cold-blooded person. After all, when he was young, he relied on his iron fist to save a half-dead company. After being reborn, he has been the leader of Shang Zhan for many years and is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Therefore, the only crooked thought Li Ziwei can have is to hope that he will be buried soon. After his death, the Chu family will be his.
Tangli closed the door and made tea for Father Chu and Chu Tinglan. Chu Tinglan couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Tangli smiled and said nothing, and kept moving her hands. Her expression was as usual, without a trace of embarrassment, so generous and calm that Father Chu even looked at her.
Father Chu explained, "In my study, I became a guest."
Chu Tinglan joked, "Besides me, the only one who can be so calm in front of you is Xiaoli."
Father Chu said proudly, "Your father's aura is unbearable to ordinary people. I have raised Avina's child by my side for so many years. Every time he sees me, he is always trembling with fear and unable to take on any big responsibilities."
Chu Tinglan blew in the refreshing fragrance of the tea, took a sip, and then said, "So he moved his hands in the car accident and wanted to kill me. Dad, you are still too soft-hearted, let him go abroad is all about enjoying happiness. Without you and me being an eyesore, he can do whatever he wants abroad. Isn't this just about enjoying happiness? The Chu family has raised him for more than 20 years and does not ask for anything in return from him, I just want him to leave my home."
Father Chu looked at Tangli suspiciously, thinking that she had told Chu Tinglan the whole truth, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. If Tangli told Chu Tinglan such a dirty thing, wouldn't it have tainted her ear?
Before Tang Li explained, Chu Tinglan defended herself and said, "Dad, it wasn't Xiao Li who told me, it was Li Ziwei who told me personally. He may be too proud and thinks that he can tell all the secrets just because I'm unconscious. In fact, he didn't know I could hear."
Father Chu raised his eyebrows and did not delve into the matter. He just warned, "I'll call the doctor later and ask her to check your body."
"Okay, no problem." There was no need for her to refuse this. This was Father Chu's kindness.
After all, Father Chu's mentality changed and he heard Chu Tinglan's suggestion in his heart. He nodded with persuasion and said, "That's fine. I'll have someone sort out the evidence and send him to see the police."
Skynet is meticulous. If you want to commit a crime, you will leave evidence. While Li Ziwei was still worrying about how to escape from the old Steward, his fate for the rest of his life had already been arranged.
On this day, Father Chu posted a rare post on WeChat Moments. It was a photo. Behind him stood two women with outstanding looks. While everyone was curious about Tangli's identity, his WeChat Moments also became excited. Get up, that's because Chu Tinglan woke up.
Chu Tinglan is very popular and has many friends, but none of them have deep feelings. Most of her friendships are related to interests.
The ringtone of her mobile phone never stopped, Chu Tinglan muted it and put it in the drawer.
However, this operation can only block most people, and the thick-skinned people cannot be blocked at all.
So the landline phone in the room rang, interrupting the kiss between Chu Tinglan and Tang Li.
Chu Tinglan lost her temper and planned to answer the call, but Tangli was unwilling to let go of her, so she held Chu Tinglan in her hands and kissed her.
The feeling of lips touching each other was so beautiful. The person in her arms remembered everything again. The other world was about to end. Thinking about the twists and turns of this journey, Tangli just wanted to deepen the kiss again. How could she be willing to let Chu Tinglan leave?
Tangli's breath made Chu Tinglan feel extremely familiar. They knew each other very well. They didn't need any skills, they just needed to cater to each other to bring the most enjoyable feeling to each other.
But the noisy ringing of the phone was extremely loud, as if someone was watching the two of them making out. It was okay, but thinking about Tangli made her whole body uncomfortable.
Her red lips were dyed with an ambiguous water color, and her eyes were full of passion. She glanced at the phone that kept ringing, her smile turned cold, and she said, "Wait for me."
Chu Tinglan couldn't help laughing, "Are you going to unplug the phone line?"
"Right!"
Chu Tinglan burst into laughter, pulled Tang Li, "Here I go, I'm also curious about who is so persistent."
Tangli looked at her, "Would you like to make a bet?"
"What are you betting on?"
Tang Li hooked her waist, took her into her arms, and whispered, "What else can I bet on? I bet on whether you can be obedient tonight."
"Then I'll bet on Qiao Yu."
Tangli bit her face jealously, "Then I'll bet on Ding Xiang."
Chu Tinglan smiled slyly. She felt that she was following Tang Li too much. The two of them knew the caller well, but she deliberately didn't guess Ding Xiang. This was just for love... Humph, let's not talk about it. She wouldn't admit it anyway.
"Okay, then I'll answer the phone."
Tangli still remembered that Chu Tinglan mentioned Qiao Yu's name. For this man who almost became her fiancé, Tangli still had a small book of grudges against him, so naturally she didn't like him.
As soon as this person answered the question, the other person opened her mouth.
But Chu Tinglan said calmly, "Ding Xiang, do you still remember the slap you gave Li Ziwei that day? I was the one who pushed you away."
"..."
"Ahhh!"
Ding Xiang screamed and immediately hung up the phone.
Chu Tinglan turned around and asked Tang Li for credit, "Successfully defeated!"
Tang Li patted her butt displeasedly and said, "Then it's time to settle our accounts."
I'm very stingy!
So it's common to be jealous~
