Every word Mother Tang said was like a sharp knife stabbing into Lan Yue’s chest.
How useless was he to let Mother Tang humiliate him like this?!
Lan Yue’s well-defined face tensed and his low voice seemed to come from the depths of his throat. “Madam, I respect you, but it doesn’t mean that you can trample on my relationship with Tangtang like this…”
Before Lan Yue could finish, Mother Tang interrupted him with a cold smile. “You’re just a poor boy from the tribe. You only got to where you are today because of our Wuwu. Are you addicted to living off a woman?
The daughter I painstakingly raised is not for you to trample on!”
“If you know what’s good for you, cut off all contact with our Wuwu in the future. If not, I will say even worse things!”
Without waiting for Lan Yue to say anything, Mother Tang hung up first.
Lan Yue looked at the darkened screen and held his phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand protruding.
After a while, he tried to calm himself down.
He went to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of hard liquor. He walked to the French windows, raised his chin slightly, and drank the spicy liquid in the glass.
o matter what happened, no matter how much Mother Tang looked down on him, he would not give up on Tang Wu and the child!
Lan Yue bought the earliest flight back to the capital.
He knew very well that it could not have been Tang Wu’s intention.
However, Tang Wu had been contacting him less recently and had not returned at the appointed time. Something must have happened.
He wanted to go over and find out.
After flying for more than ten hours, Lan Yue arrived at the Capital International Airport.
He did not contact Tang Wu immediately. He went to the hotel to take a shower and change his clothes, washing away his travel-worn clothes.
When Tang Wu received Lan Yue’s call, she was in the hospital ward.
She glanced at the bed. Mother Tang was already asleep.
Tang Wu got up softly and went out of the ward to answer the call.
Knowing that Lan Yue had come to the capital, Tang Wu was a little surprised. “Didn’t I ask you to film there?”
Lan Yue said, “I’m in room 2308 at Star Capital Hotel. Come over.”
Tang Wu could hear that something was wrong with his voice on the phone and pursed her lips slightly. “Okay.”
Tang Wu told the servant who had come to take care of Mother Tang, “I’m going out to buy something. I’ll come back later.”
Tang Wu took a taxi to Star Capital Hotel.
When she arrived at room 2308, she pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the door was opened from inside.
A boy wearing a white round-neck sweater and jeans stood behind the door.
There was a trace of tiredness on his handsome face and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept at all.
Lan Yue’s dark eyes landed on Tang Wu’s face.
When she returned to the Capital from M Country, her face was red and she was in good condition. But now, she looked haggard and tired.
Lan Yue stepped back to let Tang Wu in.
The two of them sat on the sofa. They were not as intimate as when they were sending each other off at the airport a few days ago and were a little distant.
Tang Wu looked at Lan Yue. On the way here, she had vaguely guessed why he had rushed over.
For the past two to three days, she had been busy with her mother’s matters and had neglected him.
Tang Wu did not want to hide it from him. She bit her lip and said hoarsely, “I planned to go back after attending my classmate’s wedding, but I accidentally found out that my mother is seriously ill.”
Tang Wu clasped her hands together, her expression heavy and sad. “My mother has lung cancer. She might only be alive for three to four months.”
Tang Wu’s eyes turned red and her eyelashes fluttered. “I fought with her, even cut ties with her. But when I heard that she was sick and did not have much time left, I felt really sad and guilty.”
Lan Yue had many things to say to Tang Wu, but when he heard that Mother Tang was seriously ill, all of his words were stuck in his throat.
erhaps she had provoked him first.
But she had also told him that they were just dating and did not want to involve too much.
Because she knew that it would be difficult for them to have a good ending.
He was the one who fell step by step and demanded more and more.
She was sandwiched between him and her parents. For love, she left the place where she had grown up, her parents and family.
He thought that as long as he worked hard and earned money, he could change everything.
But he was still too naive.
eality was cruel after all.
Lan Yue walked up to Tang Wu. In his impression, she had always been beautiful, confident, and ostentatious.
But now, she was helpless and weak like a little girl.
Lan Yue hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head, his voice dry. “I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be in such a dilemma.”
Tang Wu had never blamed Lan Yue. If she was unwilling, who could force her?
However, she felt very tired from being unable to find a balance between love and kinship.
“Stay here and accompany your mother. I’ll go back and film properly.” He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to convey the warmth and strength in his body to her. “I’ll come and accompany you after this film is over.
ff your mother doesn’t want to see me, I won’t appear.”
Tang Wu did not stay in the hotel for long. She was afraid that Mother Tang would look for her when she woke up.
She did not know if it was because she was sick, but after Mother Tang made up with Tang Wu, she was not as strong as before.
He was very dependent on Tang Wu.
Lan Yue sent Tang Wu downstairs in a taxi.
After the taxi drove away, Lan Yue went upstairs again.
The moment he entered, he saw Tang Wu’s phone on the shoe cabinet in the hallway. He took his phone and quickly went downstairs.
He hailed a taxi and asked the driver to drive to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, Tang Wu’s phone rang. Someone had sent her a message.
Lan Yue’s fingers accidentally touched the home button and the screen lit up.
There was a message from Qi Chen.
“Wuwu, if you want Auntie to be happy, you can pretend to be a couple with me. I will cooperate with you.”
Seeing the message, Lan Yue’s handsome face tensed. His fingers holding the phone were so strong that he almost crushed the phone.
Mother Tang’s words echoed in her mind again.
“No matter how hard you work, you won’t be worthy of our Wuwu if you don’t have a good background. The son-in-law in my heart is Qi Chen. He likes Wuwu very much. Even if Wuwu gives birth to your child, he
won’t mind. Whether you have a bright future or are down and out has nothing to do with us.”
Lan Yue pursed his lips tightly, his face pale.
Her heart was in pain and anger, but she felt even more helpless.
That feeling was like a surging tide, attacking him wave after wave, almost drowning him.
When they arrived at the hospital, Lan Yue found out about Mother Tang’s ward.
He knew that Mother Tang did not like him and did not want to see him. He planned to go to the door of the ward and ask the nurse to call Tang Wu out.
However, Tang Wu was not in the ward. Lan Yue looked around and saw Mother Tang and Father Tang, who was pulling her toward the stairs..
