Chapter 158 They Came to Our Door
I looked at Hu Mei without looking away; the answer was obvious.
It's cruel of me to have to tell you about my illness.
However, now that things have come to this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore.
Seeing that I didn't deny it, Hu Mei slumped down on a low stool, her face full of heartache. "What stage is it? Why won't you get treatment?"
Compared to her agitated emotions, I was much calmer.
"It's already stage four. We're not not treating it, just conservative treatment. At this point, surgery is no longer very effective."
"Besides, you know my personality. Lying in a hospital bed waiting to die all day is worse than..."
"Pah! Don't talk nonsense." Hu Mei stopped me from finishing my sentence. "Why didn't you tell me in the first place?"
He then turned to look at Xu Hu, and seeing him with his head down, he knew that Xu Hu was also aware of the situation.
He sternly accused, "And you, you kept such a big thing from me too. Do you all treat me like an outsider?"
Xu Hu shook his head, "Without Sister Mei, you know Brother Tian's personality, how could he possibly let you know these things?"
"He's about to die, and you're still thinking about these trivial things. He's always been like this since he was little, he listens to everything he says."
Xu Hu was scolded like a child, scratching the back of his head helplessly.
Instantly, no one in the room dared to say a word or even breathe loudly.
Hu Mei was so angry that her chest heaved and she was panting heavily.
"What happened during the surgery? I heard you were brought to the hospital from Song Yafei's villa. What exactly did she do to you?"
Song Yafei.
I don't want to hear that name, and I don't want to mention anything related to her.
Every time I choose to believe her, she does something that I regret.
Whether it's the file folder incident or Yu Chengliang's matter, she hasn't told me a single truth.
I no longer have any expectations of her.
"I don't want to hear her name again. Please stop mentioning it and help me transfer to another hospital."
I'm never polite to them; I only have a handful of people I can truly rely on.
Seeing that I genuinely didn't want to bring it up again, no one said anything more.
Lin Qiuran and Xu Hu went out together to help me with my discharge procedures, leaving Hu Mei in the ward.
Hu Mei paced anxiously back and forth in the ward, her face full of anger.
"I don't care, you divorce her right now. This time you're vomiting blood and hospitalized, what about next time? Will she just kill you?"
“I heard you wanted to divorce her before, but why did it all fall through? This time, if you want a divorce, we have a way. Whether she wants money or something else, we'll give her everything. This woman is unpredictable; she'll get into trouble one day.”
money?
She has plenty of money, but as for other things, there's probably nothing I can give her that she wants.
Divorce? Is it even possible?
Time and time again, it all ended inconclusively.
"Whether we divorce or not doesn't matter anymore, I'm already in this situation anyway. Besides, she has saved the headmistress time and time again, that's a fact."
Hearing this, Hu Mei was at a loss. She sat on the low stool, feeling extremely angry.
"This woman is clearly wicked, yet she does good deeds from time to time, keeping you in check and making you feel obligated to thank her. What a clever tactic!"
Whether it was a tactic or not, I don't know, and I can't tell.
She's a force to be reckoned with in the business world, so these kinds of tactics are second nature to her.
After knowing her for more than a decade, I can no longer see Song Yafei clearly, and I can no longer distinguish between her true feelings and hypocrisy.
"By the way, why didn't she come?" Hu Mei suddenly changed the subject.
I gave a wry smile. "She probably doesn't know yet."
Upon hearing this, Hu Mei flew into a rage, "How could you have been so blind to have fallen for such a thing?"
I didn't speak.
Perhaps she also realized that constantly making fun of Song Yafei would not benefit me, would not make me happy, and would only increase my troubles.
Even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them back.
I never expected someone to suddenly barge into my hospital room at this time.
"Brother Zhang."
Some of the familiar voices are also the voices I hate.
I turned my head to look at the door and saw Yu Chengliang standing there in a hospital gown.
Yes, it's not that he lives in the VIP ward upstairs, but how did he know I was here?
Knowing this is one thing, but now you insist on showing up in my hospital room. Are you trying to cause trouble again?
I didn't want to argue with him at this time, and I didn't want to be disturbed by him.
So she turned slightly to the side, avoiding his gaze, and said, "Get him out of here. I don't want to see him."
Although Hu Mei didn't know the reason, upon hearing my words, she immediately got up and shooed the person out.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chengliang was quick; before Hu Mei even reached the door, he had already slipped into the ward and stood in front of me.
He pleaded with me in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, I beg you, please don't send me away. I'm sorry about what happened in the ward, I didn't know it was you."
"If I had known it was you, I would have rather died on the roadside than hog the hospital room."
Oh--
This isn't the first time he's used this trick; how come he never gets tired of it?
He was showing off to me, showing off how important he was to Song Yafei.
I just want to ignore this person.
He said with utter disdain, "You came all this way just to tell me this?"
Hu Mei then realized that the person in front of her was the male celebrity that Song Yafei was having an affair with.
So he gave the person a cold look and shooed them out, very rudely, "Get out of here."
Yu Chengliang looked at Hu Mei, as if he had just noticed that there was another person present, and said something inexplicable.
"Brother Tian, if Sister Ya sees this, she'll be heartbroken. Sister Ya was willing to send me abroad for you, how can you hurt her feelings?"
I don't know what he meant by that, but I know he was definitely up to no good.
They continue to smear me as always.
In his words, I became the ungrateful person.
Hu Mei couldn't stand seeing me being bullied, so she came over and slapped Yu Chengliang across the face.
Yu Chengliang was slapped to the ground, covering his face, looking at Hu Mei in disbelief, and questioning her loudly.
"What right do you have to hit me?"
Hu Mei sneered, "I hit you, and that's it. The mistress made a scene in front of the wife. You have no shame, so you deserve to be hit!"
Hu Mei showed no mercy.
She was like this even when she was a child; she was never afraid of injustice.
Yu Chengliang got up; half of his face was swollen. Hu Mei really hit him hard.
However, Hu Mei's fighting ability is not limited to that.
She pointed at Yu Chengliang's face and said, "You're the gigolo that Song Yafei keeps on the side. How dare you bully Zhang Tian? Who gave you the guts?"
"And who are you? And by what right are you protecting him?" Yu Chengliang was so angry that he was furious and lost all sense of propriety.
However, I wasn't very happy; I just felt like my head was throbbing from all the cooking.
I just hope Lin Qiuran and the others can complete the transfer procedures quickly and end this farce.
