Chapter 1019 - 243: Sweet Extra 12
Tang Yige was momentarily taken aback, looking at Zhou Xueran, and instead of answering directly, she asked, "Do you want to go?"
"I can go anywhere by myself."
Zhou Xueran looked at Tang Yige and pulled at her lips.
She didn’t answer whether she wanted to or not, but said it like this.
Tang Yige sighed inwardly and placed her hand on the back of Zhou Xueran’s hand which was resting on the seat behind her, "Mom, Little Rui is now going to school. Si Nan is busy with matters at the law firm, and I’ve taken on several cheongsam orders, so I’ll be very busy during this time. I originally thought that you could help me take care of Little Rui once you’re discharged. If you want to travel abroad to visit Aunt for relaxation, I fully support it. But..."
Tang Yige hesitated, holding Zhou Xueran’s hand, "Mom, do you think you can delay it a bit and go after Little Rui’s summer vacation starts?"
"I see, that’s fine, I’ll just not go right away, I’ll let Aunt know later that I’ll go over and visit her after Little Rui’s summer vacation begins."
Zhou Xueran, hearing Tang Yige say this, breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
Tang Yige’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, "Thank you."
Zhou Xueran laughed, "There’s no need to thank Mom."
Tang Yige also gave her a slight smile.
In the driver’s seat, Rong Sinan glanced lightly at Tang Yige in the back seat, his long eyebrows raised slightly.
...
Time flows away like water.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Since running into Tang Ruan and Tang Yuwen at the hospital a year ago, Yige has not seen them again.
Since Zhou Xueran was discharged from the hospital, she’s been trying to contact Tang Yuwen about the divorce.
Tang Yuwen always had excuses to postpone.
Zhou Xueran, at her age, felt embarrassed to seek legal aid for divorce, so it just kept dragging on.
One day, Zhou Xueran received a phone call and hurried out.
She didn’t return until the evening.
Once she returned, she sat in the sofa, lost in thought.
Tang Yige noticed something was wrong with her, and sat next to her, gently holding her arm, "Mom, what’s happened?"
"Retribution, retribution..."
Zhou Xueran laughed, mournfully.
Tang Yige frowned, confused, staring at her.
Zhou Xueran turned her head to look at Tang Yige, her eyes red, "Yige, your father might have Alzheimer’s disease."
"..."
"The phone call I received today was actually from the police station, saying that a sanitation worker found your father sitting at a bus station overnight. Seeing your father acting strange, he approached and asked him several times, but no matter what he asked, your father only repeated one sentence."
Zhou Xueran’s smile became even more mournful.
Tang Yige clenched her fingers, "What, what did he say?"
"I won’t divorce."
Zhou Xueran finished speaking, and tears instantly fell.
Tang Yige’s throat tightened, she looked at Zhou Xueran, unable to speak.
"The sanitation worker, seeing your father like that, guessed he might not be mentally well, and kindly took your father to the public security bureau. The police found a mobile phone in your father’s clothes and contacted me."
Zhou Xueran reached out to wipe the tears from her face, "I went to the police station and met your father; when your father looked at me, he couldn’t recognize me..."
"Later, I took your father to the hospital, and after the doctor’s examination, I was told that your father might have Alzheimer’s disease."
Tang Yige lowered her eyelashes, silent for a long time before saying hoarsely, "Where is he now?"
Zhou Xueran stared at her, "...It seems your father sold the house before. So, I found a hotel outside to temporarily settle him."
Tang Yige swallowed dryly, but said nothing.
Zhou Xueran saw this, and thought that Yige probably didn’t want to be involved with Tang Yuwen’s matters, so she held back her tears and didn’t continue.
She knew, Tang Yuwen truly broke Yige’s heart.
Yige not caring for him now was also what Tang Yuwen deserved, it couldn’t be blamed on Yige.
...
Perhaps fearing Tang Yuwen might wander off, Zhou Xueran went out again after dinner.
Tang Yige put Rong Rui to sleep and waited in the living room until eleven at night, but Zhou Xueran hadn’t returned.
Tang Yige took a breath, took out her phone to call Zhou Xueran.
The call was quickly connected.
Tang Yige adjusted her breathing slightly, voice calm, "Mom, are you coming back tonight? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"I am not your mom! Who are you?"
Tang Yige’s face froze harshly.
It was... Tang Yuwen!
"I’m asking you a question, why aren’t you answering? Who are you? Why are you looking for my wife? My wife just married me and hasn’t had children. You called the wrong number!"
"..."
Tang Yige opened her lips, her nose and eyes simultaneously filling with a difficult grief.
"Hmph, surely it’s a wrong call! Fool!"
Then, the phone call was abruptly ended.
Tang Yige took the phone away, pressing it against her heart.
A pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her shoulders, her stiff and cold body was enveloped in a warm chest.
Tang Yige closed her eyes, burying her face deeply into the man’s broad chest.
At this moment, Rong Sinan didn’t say anything, just held her tightly and stayed by her side.
...
Early the next morning.
Zhou Xueran was helping Tang Yuwen wash his face in the bathroom when the hotel room’s doorbell suddenly rang.
Zhou Xueran put down the towel, told Tang Yuwen to wait inside, and walked toward the room door while folding down her rolled-up sleeves.
At the door, Zhou Xueran looked through the peephole.
Upon seeing the person standing at the door, Zhou Xueran was startled and stood frozen at the doorway for at least ten seconds before coming to her senses and quickly reaching to open the door.
Zhou Xueran looked incredulously at the person standing in front of her, her lips trembling slightly, "Yi, Yige..."
Tang Yige tried her best to pull a smile for her.
Tang Yige told Zhou Xueran she had contacted a reputable nursing home for Tang Yuwen and planned to settle him there.
It’s quite commendable that Tang Yige is willing to take care of Tang Yuwen, so naturally, Zhou Xueran wouldn’t say no.
Next.
Tang Yige took Tang Yuwen and Zhou Xueran to the nursing home, planning to leave after settling Tang Yuwen there.
Unexpectedly, as the paperwork was completed and Tang Yige and Zhou Xueran were about to leave.
Tang Yuwen suddenly grabbed Zhou Xueran’s hand, refusing to let go.
It was only today that Tang Yige realized how dependent Tang Yuwen had become on Zhou Xueran!
Zhou Xueran couldn’t break free and had no choice but to let Yige leave first.
Tang Yige thought for a while, nodded, and left the nursing home.
That day, Zhou Xueran finally managed to come back to Jinxiu Huadu late at night.
That night, Zhou Xueran, probably because she was worried about Tang Yuwen in the nursing home, came out of her room several times.
In the following days, Zhou Xueran went to the nursing home every day.
But one day.
Zhou Xueran suddenly stopped going.
Tang Yige found it curious but didn’t ask much.
It was later, on a certain day, that Zhou Xueran casually mentioned Tang Yuwen.
Only then did Tang Yige know the reason Zhou Xueran wasn’t visiting as frequently.
Because Tang Yuwen had completely forgotten Zhou Xueran.
Zhou Xueran would sit in front of him all day, but Tang Yuwen acted as if she didn’t exist.
When she was about to leave, he didn’t even glance at her.
Therefore, after that, Zhou Xueran didn’t go to the nursing home every day but visited occasionally to check on him.
...
Another year passed.
One day.
Zhang Xu suddenly came to Jinxiu Huadu with Geng Yi, shy yet jubilant, announcing she was pregnant!
Zhang Lan couldn’t stop smiling.
She was continuously smiling for three days, walking with a bounce in her step.
Eight months later.
Zhang Xu gave birth to a beautiful little princess.
Rong Rui went with Tang Yige and Rong Sinan to visit Zhang Xu and the baby in the hospital.
After coming back.
Rong Rui, just like when Jin Jumo gave birth to Little Jiu Jiu, lay in the back seat sighing and wanting a sister.
Tang Yige felt a bit embarrassed, but mostly she was melancholic.
The fertility prescription Jin Jumo had given her; she’d been drinking it every day without fail, for four full courses over eight months.
Nonetheless... it was utterly useless!
It’s been almost two years since she stopped taking the medicine, and her belly remains flat, showing no signs.
Furthermore, since Rong Rui always had a bit of an aversion toward Fang Jingyi.
Fang Jingyi faced rejection time and again from Rong Rui, and finally, in despair, began to create trouble.
How did she create trouble?
Ha ha!
Fang Jingyi started frequently bringing various young and beautiful women around Rong Sinan.
The aim was to make Rong Sinan have a change of heart, marry someone who could give her a beloved grandson!
