Chapter 249 Qiang Di LeavesâI never expected that you sent me away when you came to my house the first time.â
Qiang Di smiles, âIâm packing up. Please wait for me.â
Lang Ruoxian comes in and sees a suitcase put in the middle of the sitting room. He has a look at Qiang Di and says, âFrom now on, I have nothing to do with you, and I donât owe you anymore.â
âYou are wrong.â Qiang Di says, âYan Hua is right. You never owe me.â
She hands a U-disk to Lang Ruoxian and says, âItâs my last request. For the sake of your elder brother, please give this to Yan Hua.â
Lang Ruoxian doesnât take it. Qiang Di says with a bitter smile, âI promise I have no malice.â
âWhere are you going?â Lang Ruoxian accepts the U-disk and asks.
Qiang Di shrugs her shoulders and asks, âYou decide where I should go, donât you? Will you send me to Africa?â
âYou can choose it.â Lang Ruoxian looks at her and says, âI just want you to stay away from us.â
Qiang Di has predicted that she will not be trusted after she hurts Yan Hua. But she is still so sad when she hears Lang Ruoxianâs words.
âSorryâ¦â She closes her eyes and says, âI messed it up.â
If she could come out early, she wouldnât help the man to kidnap Yan Hua, and she might be Yan Huaâs friend and treat Lang Ruoxian as her family.
But life canât be over again.
Qiang Di holds back her tears and says, âI want to go to France. A college invites me to be a teacher.â
âGreat.â Lang Ruoxian probably wants to say something in the end, but he doesnât say anything.
Qiang Di books the ticket for tonight and Shu Sheng comes to see her off. When she arrives at the airport, he gives her an envelope and asks her to see it on the plane. When the plane takes off, Qiang Di opens the envelope, which contains an address and a key.
âLang Ruoxianâ¦â Qiang Di cries. Then she begins to laugh.
She puts the key in her bag and looks at Yanjing, which is getting smaller and smaller.
âSee you next time!â She says.
But she also knows that maybe she wonât see it again.
At the same time, Yan Hua opens a file in the U-disk, which is a self-made video of Qiang Di.
âYan Hua. Or I should call you Tang Duo.â Qiang Di has an easy smile in the video.
Yan Hua feels that Qiang Diâs smile is somewhat different from that of the past, as if she becomes more relaxed.
âIâm afraid you wonât forgive me even if I say sorry thousands times. In fact, I canât forgive myself, either. I almost destroy myself, you and Lang Ruoxian.â
âIn other words, I almost destroy your family.â Qiang Di bows toward the camera and apologizes, âBut I still want to say: Iâm sorry.â
âI was actually shocked when Tian Xiaogang came to find me. I thought he knew the thing about Lang Ruoxian, so I stopped to hear his words. It gave him a chance to say. Then I was seduced by his words.â
âFortunately, he just knew from the old news that I had a relationship with Lang Ruoxian. So he thought that I was Lang Ruoxianâs former girlfriend and you grabbed him from me.â
âAt that time, I totally agreed with his words. I thought you really grabbed him from me.â Qiang Di sneers, âThen, I couldnât believe that I decided to help him.â
What happened next is the same as Tian Xiaogangâs words. They cooperated with each other. Qiang Di made Yan Hua to go out and Tian Xiaogang would kidnap her. But at the last moment, Qiang Di regretted. Unfortunately, Tian Xiaogang did not trust her, either.
âActually, Iâm very happy.â Qiang Di suddenly laughs, âIâm happy that he shut me in the cold storage with you. When I woke up, I thought I was dead. My first thought was that I was lucky enough to die with you.â
âBut these days I understand that itâs just a kind of self-redemption, because I canât forgive myself.â
Finally, Qiang Di makes a deep bow to Yan Hua in the video and says, âGoodbye, Hua! If it is possible in the future, I hope I can see you again. May you and Lang Ruoxian be happy. I also wish I would be happy.â
When Lang Ruoxian comes in, he sees Yan Hua sitting on the carpet beside the bed and looking at the computer in a daze.
âHua?â He sees Qiang Diâs face on the computer as he comes over.
Yan Hua sighs and puts the U-disk away.
âItâs okay. I just feel so upset.â
Lang Ruoxian hugs her and comforts her, âItâs good for us that she leaves here. I canât bear the consequences of losing you. Iâm not guilty for Qiang Di anymore because of her behavior this time. I even wanted to kill her when I knew she was also involved in the kidnapping.â
âSo did I.â Yan Hua rubs against his chest.
She is a bit clingy recently maybe because she is frightened by the bad thing. Lang Ruoxian can also feel the change of Yan Hua. But he is happy about that.
âDoes everyone have to pay the price before they grow up?â Yan Hua shakes her head and says, âHe helps her find a place to live. Everything is arranged for her. I hope she can start again soon.â
Lang Ruoxian takes her to the bathroom and says, âYes. She will be far away from our life in the future, so now itâs time for us to take a bath.â
âI just had a shower!â
âLetâs wash again.â
Bai Susu canât believe that Qiang Di doesnât come and goes abroad suddenly.
âThe environment of university abroad is good as well as its conditions.â Yan Hua finds a right reason for that and says, âShe went in a hurry and said that she would come back to see you when she had the chance.â
Bai Susu doesnât ask much. So Yan Hua thinks her mother knows nothing. When Yan Hua goes to pick up Gungun from school, Bai Susu and Chang Peiâe are chatting in the sitting room.
âDid the girl leave?â Chang Peiâe asks.
âYes.â Bai Susu sneers, âIf she doesnât leave, I wonât promise to be friendly to her anymore.â
Qiang Di helped the man kidnap Yan Hua! And she lets Lang Ruoxian help her to escape punishment by law. Does he think Tang Family members are all fools? He doesnât know Bai Susuâs ability at all.
âDonât mention it again.â Chang Peiâe reminds her, âRuoxian did well. If we really do something to punish her, Hua wonât agree.â
Bai Susu takes a sip of tea and says, âI know. So I pretend to know nothing in front of her. Since Hua believes we donât know, weâd better pretend that we donât know it.â
âWell, Qiang Diâ¦â
âI have people staring at her! Donât worry, Mom.â
Chang Peiâe wants to say that she believes Bai Susu can do well. However, she suddenly blacks out and fainted on the sofa, which makes Bai Susu shock and scream. The house maid in the kitchen rushes over and also petrifies after seeing that. Bai Susu doesnât dare to move her. She quickly calls the ambulance.
Yan Hua takes Gungun to go home. They and the ambulance almost enter the villa area at the same time. Gungun points at the ambulance and says.
âMom, look. Someone is sick.â
Yan Hua has a bad feeling all of a sudden. Then she despairs immediately when the ambulance stops in front of her house.
âMom, why does it stop in front of our house?â Gungun still asks curiously. But Yan Hua has already gotten out of the car. Before she runs to the gate, Chang Peiâe has been wheeled out on the stretcher.
âMom!â She rushes over.
Bai Susu looks panicky behind the stretcher and says, âYour grandma suddenly fainted. The doctor said she had a heart attack.â
âHow it come?â Yan Hua is even more alarmed. She says, âGrandma was still in good health when she was examined before New Year.â
Soon, all people from Tang Family receive a call and know it. Tang Yao is drinking tea with Tang Ming today. When they hear that, Tang Ming asks his people to arrange the best doctor for Chang Peiâe as soon as possible. Then he goes to the hospital with Tang Yao. Tang Cao is the last one to arrive.
âSister! Sister!â He rushes out of the elevator. His tears are streaming in an instant when he sees that everyone is there and the operating roomâs door tightly closes.
Lang Ruoxian gives him a hand and says, âThe doctors are operating on grandmother. She has been out of danger.â
âThatâs good. Thatâs good!â Tang Cao is able to gasp now.
When he receives the phone call, he is playing golf with Chen Xiaopang in the suburbs. On the way back, Tang Cao thinks that he wonât forgive himself if grandmaâs situation becomes terrible and he canât see her last time.
Chang Peiâe undergoes emergency bypass surgery and eventually is wheeled to the ward safely.
âThe old lady is getting older, so we should pay more attention to her heart.â The doctor tells Bai Susu what they should notice.
Almost all the masters of internal cardiology have gathered in this operation. Even the people who hand the scalpel for doctors are also experts. They also choose the most suitable and best treatment for the old lady. And they suggest that the old lady should go to a warm place for recuperation after discharge.
âItâs almost New Yearâs Day. Our whole family will go to South Island for holiday this year.â Bai Susu makes a decision in the ward.
Tang Ming is here, too. He advises that they can live in an internal sanatorium in South Island.
He says, âIâll let my people arrange it now. You can live there directly when you go to South Island.â
Bai Susu doesnât refuse. The sanatorium that Tang Ming talks about has the best infrastructure and service around the world. Only few people can live there.
When Chang Peiâe wakes up and looks better, Tang Ming tells them to take good care of her, then he finally leaves as well as the guards outside the door. Lang Ruoxian lets their own bodyguards stand there.
âIâm sorry to scare you!â Chang Peiâe smiles at everyone after she wakes up.
Tang Cao buries himself in Chang Peiâe arms and says like a spoiled child, âGrandma, if you still scare us next time, I will sell all your ancient paintings!â
âHow dare you!â Chang Peiâe holds him by the ear.
Bai Susu quickly stops them and asks, âMom, do you feel any pain?â
âI feel good.â Chang Peiâe also moves her body a little and says, âAll of you look worse than me!â
Tang Yaoâs eyes are red. He just cried secretly, so did Yan Hua. At present, everyone heaves a sigh of relief. But their faces are still so pale, which looks really worse than the old lady.
âYou all surround here. Are Gungun and Wuyou at home alone? Well, go back quickly!â
âHouse maid accompanies them!â Bai Susu puts the wet cotton swab on the old ladyâs lips. Then she turns her head and says to Yan Hua, âAll of you can go back. I will stay at here tonight.â
Yan Hua immediately shakes her head and says, âHow can we let you stay here? Mom, you and others go back. Iâll accompany Grandma.â
âLet me accompany Grandma!â Tang Cao shouts.
âYou are a man. Itâs inconvenient.â
Finally, Yan Hua stays here. Lang Ruoxian wants to accompany her. But Yan Hua lets him go back and take care of Gungun.
âHe was frightened to see that grandma was wheeled on the ambulance today.â Yan Hua says to Lang Ruoxian. Anyway, Bai Susu and others are not Gungunâs parents. At this time, Gungun should be more willing to be accompanied by his parents.
Lang Ruoxian agrees. But he doesnât leave with others. He goes out to buy some food and accompanies Yan Hua to dinner before leaving. As soon as he gets back, he sees that Gungun is still in the sitting room. Bai Susu is holding him and saying something.
âDad!â Gungun runs over and says, âWill great-grandma really come back in a few days?â
Lang Ruoxian touches Gungunâs little head and says, âOf course. Grandma wonât lie to you.â
âCan I go to the hospital to see her?â Gungun says again.
Lang Ruoxian looks at Bai Susu. She nods and says, âThe day after tomorrow is the weekend. Letâs take them to hospital on that day.â
