Chapter 1015: Chapter 240: Sweet Extra 9
Tang Yuwen, "..." Hearing her say these words, his heart unexpectedly trembled.
"You don’t need to come to the hospital anymore. I’ll contact you to go to the civil affairs bureau after I am discharged," Zhou Xueran said.
Tang Yige looked at Zhou Xueran, his eyes clouded with complexity.
"Zhou Xueran, we’ve been married for over thirty years, and now you’re telling me these things? You understand etiquette, honesty and shame, and I, Tang Yuwen, don’t? You know what it means to have correct values, and I don’t, is that it?
Zhou Xueran, you previously acted timidly in front of me, was that all just a pretense? Someone must be backing you now, supporting you, and you’ve gained confidence, become steadfast, and now you’re turning against me, counting my faults and smearing my name, is that right?
You, woman, huh, it’s been over thirty years, and I still haven’t figured you out!"
Tang Yuwen stared mockingly at Zhou Xueran.
"Say whatever you want. As long as I can contact you to meet at the civil affairs bureau punctually after I’m discharged, that’s all that matters!"
Zhou Xueran finished speaking, held Tang Yige’s hand, and said, "Yige, I’m a bit tired."
Tang Yige’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as he looked towards Tang Yuwen, "My mom just woke up and her mental state isn’t great yet. If there’s nothing urgent, please leave!"
Tang Yuwen glared at Tang Yige angrily, then turned to Zhou Xueran, pointing at her, "Zhou Xueran, I’ve really misjudged in my life, marrying such a cunning and hypocritical woman like you!"
Zhou Xueran closed her eyes, as if already asleep.
"Zhou Xueran..."
"Mr. Tang, this is a ward, and the patient needs rest. If you cannot stay quietly, then please leave immediately!" Si Nan looked coldly at Tang Yuwen.
"Ha."
Tang Yuwen glanced at Si Nan, then at Tang Yige, and began to laugh coldly, "Well, well, now you are all one family, and I am an outsider. You have money and power, and I, Tang Yuwen, can’t fight against you all. I’m leaving, is that alright then?"
After speaking, Tang Yuwen glared again at Zhou Xueran, "Divorce, huh? Without you, Zhou Xueran, holding me back, I’ll live even better!"
Tang Yuwen threw down these words and strode boldly towards the ward door.
As he passed by Tang Ruan, Tang Yuwen said to Tang Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, your mother has climbed the social ladder and doesn’t see us eye to eye anymore. We should be sensible and stay far from them to save ourselves from annoying them and being treated as a thorn in their side!"
Tang Ruan looked sadly at Tang Yuwen, "Dad, please don’t say things out of anger. You and Mom have always had a good relationship. I think mom didn’t come over immediately because she knew we knew she was awake. You wait, I’ll go explain to Mom."
Tang Ruan said, and without waiting for Tang Yuwen to speak, quickly walked towards Zhou Xueran.
When Tang Ruan approached, Tang Yige’s face darkened.
He got up from the bed and walked over to Si Nan’s side, turning his back to the side of the bed.
Tang Ruan saw this, bitterly bit her lip, then sat next to the bed and held Zhou Xueran’s hand, "Mom, actually, I came immediately with Dad when we received your call.
It’s just... Dad and I live a bit far away now, so it took some time to get here. It wasn’t intentional to come so late, nor does it mean we don’t care about you.
Please stop being angry with me and Dad, okay?"
Zhou Xueran opened her eyes to see Tang Ruan’s face exposed from under the hat.
Very thin, with high cheekbones, a face sunken inward, sallow and emaciated.
Looking at her, a pair of eyes filled with weariness and sorrow.
Zhou Xueran was not without pain seeing Tang Ruan now.
But she knew all too well.
All of this, she couldn’t blame anyone!
Zhou Xueran took a light breath, "I’m not angry at you all. Deciding to divorce your father was not on impulse."
"Mom, if not for this reason, you and Dad were doing well, why the divorce then?" Tang Ruan asked, holding Zhou Xueran’s hand sorrowfully.
"Because I want to live like a normal person, with dignity and conscience!"
Zhou Xueran tightly locked her gaze with Tang Ruan, her eyes filled with fervor, "Ruan Ruan, if a person makes mistakes, takes the wrong path, as long as they truly regret and sincerely correct themselves, it’s never too late. Do you understand?"
Tang Ruan looked at Zhou Xueran, feeling colder inside, yet she said, "Mom, I have already acknowledged my mistakes. I’m now atoning for the errors I once made!"
Zhou Xueran looked at Tang Ruan, "Admitting mistakes isn’t just about saying it, you have to feel it from your heart."
Tang Ruan bit her teeth silently.
"Ruan Ruan, in the future, take care of yourself, understand?"
Zhou Xueran, teary-eyed, gazed at her daughter with a heavy sense of hope.
"...Mom, you don’t want me anymore?" Tang Ruan stared at her blankly.
"You will always be mom’s daughter!" Zhou Xueran said.
Tang Ruan watched Zhou Xueran, internally consumed with anger.
Because she realized clearly.
At this moment, Zhou Xueran had already made up her mind to divorce Tang Yuwen!
And she wouldn’t care for her anymore!
So.
Seeking rebirth from her is blocked by this very statement!
She is telling her through her actions.
Don’t expect her to do anything more!
"Heh heh."
Tang Ruan laughed, released Zhou Xueran’s hand, and sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Mom, do you want me to die?"
Zhou Xueran felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears teetering at the corners of her eyes about to fall, but she forcefully held them back, staring at Tang Ruan, "You can choose to live a good life."
"How do you want me to have a good life? Huh?"
Tang Ruan suddenly went mad, tearing off the hat on her head.
As her face and head were completely exposed to the air.
Zhou Xueran covered her mouth in shock, tears streaming down fiercely from the corners of her eyes.
Tang Yige turned around as Tang Ruan screamed crazily, and instantly saw Tang Ruan’s current state.
She was ridiculously thin.
Her hair was patchy and sparse, and a light breeze wafted in from the window, carrying the faint smell of festering scalp.
Tang Yige was a bit taken aback, staring intently at Tang Ruan.
"Mom, look at me now? Look!"
Tang Ruan lowered her head, letting Zhou Xueran see her scalp.
"Ah..."
Zhou Xueran gasped in horror, her eyes shutting tightly.
She, she actually saw white maggots squirming on her scalp.
Tang Yige, hearing Zhou Xueran’s scream, snapped back to reality, hurriedly walked to the other side of the bed, and held Zhou Xueran’s hand, "Mom, mom."
"Wu..."
Zhou Xueran sobbed quietly.
"..."
In such a situation, words are utterly powerless.
Tang Yige really didn’t know what to say to comfort Zhou Xueran.
After all, the scene just now was too horrifying.
"It’s all her fault, all because of her!"
Tang Ruan pointed at Tang Yige with hatred, for the first time tearing away the usual mask she wore in front of everyone, revealing her sharp and twisted true face.
"I’ve become like this now, neither human nor ghost... I dare not go out, whenever I do, terrible things happen!
They are so terrifying, really terrifying. They don’t only throw things at me, but also grab my hair, my hair is almost gone, completely gone..."
Tang Ruan ferociously ran her fingers through her hair, starting to desperately tug at it, screaming madly as she did.
"Ah, ah... It hurts, it hurts... No, no... It hurts, it hurts... Don’t hit me... Don’t..."
"Yige!"
Zhou Xueran suddenly grasped Tang Yige’s hand tightly, wailing.
Tang Yige looked at Zhou Xueran worriedly, then glanced at the crazed Tang Ruan, finally turning to Si Nan.
Si Nan nodded and began to move toward the door.
"Don’t leave! Don’t leave!"
Tang Ruan suddenly lunged at Si Nan, trying to embrace him.
A shadow flickered in Si Nan’s eyes, and before she could touch him, he reached out to grab her arm, forcefully flinging her to the side.
"Ah..."
Tang Ruan fell to the floor.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Xueran opened her eyes in panic, seeing Tang Ruan collapsed on the ground.
Zhou Xueran covered her mouth in sorrow, tears streaming down.
Si Nan didn’t even look at Tang Ruan, continuing toward the door.
"Si Nan, if you drive me away, I’ll kill Tang Yige! I’ll kill her! Kill her!"
Tang Yige screamed!
Si Nan abruptly changed direction, striding quickly in front of Tang Ruan, kicking her over onto the floor, and pressing his foot straight against her neck.
"No!"
Zhou Xueran screamed in terror, pleading with wide eyes fixed on Si Nan, "Si Nan, don’t!"
