"Sis, don’t even mention Lian Qingyang is my brother, even if he were a stranger, if I can help, I certainly will."
Tang Jun spoke as if it were only natural.
"That’s right, our Xiao Jun is so amazing, he’s a real hero." Tang Yue gave Tang Jun a thumbs up, then realized Tang Jun couldn’t see it, and added, "Xiao Jun, I’m entrusting Zaozao and Chenchen to you, I need to go out this afternoon."
"Where are you going?" Tang Jun was a bit puzzled.
"To see Xiao Yu." Tang Yue grinned and said, "It’s not easy to e to Sea City, I want to check out Xiao Yu’s shop and see if the business is booming as they said."
"You’re not taking Zaozao and Chenchen?" Tang Jun asked.
"No, wherever they go, they can run wild, it’s too noisy to take them."
Tang Yue refused, silently thinking she’s indeed going to see Mo Xiaoyu, but she has other matters to attend to as well.
"Alright, go ahead then, I’ll look after Zaozao and Chenchen. They’re so well-behaved, yet you find them too noisy." Tang Jun felt unfair for Zaozao and Chenchen; he’d never seen such well-behaved children.
He’d seen other people’s children too, very mischievous.
None are as well-behaved as Zaozao and Chenchen.
Tang Yue smiled without speaking further. In some ways, Zaozao and Chenchen are well-behaved, but in others, they’re extremely inquisitive. She definitely can’t take them into a hospital, can she?
Especially Zaozao, being incredibly observant, if he finds out, how would she explain it to him?
...
Hospital.
"Xiao Yue, if you ask me, just don’t go see her anymore." Lian Tong disapproved of Tang Yue going to see Tao Yujun again.
If Tang Yue hadn’t overheard this today, Lian Tong wouldn’t even have mentioned this distressing matter to her.
But after Tang Yue found out, she was resolute about seeing Tao Yujun.
"Auntie, why shouldn’t I see her?" Tang Yue said pursing her lips, "I haven’t settled accounts with Tao Yujun for calculating against Xiao Yang, and now she even wants to ruin Xiao Yang’s wedding. Aunt, that was sulfuric acid."
Talking about sulfuric acid, Tang Yue felt a shiver on her back too; if Tang Jun hadn’t sensed something was wrong, if Zhang Qiang hadn’t reacted quickly, working seamlessly together, where might that cup of acid have splashed?
Tang Yue couldn’t imagine, even if it didn’t splash on Lian Qingyang, whether it was on Tang Jun, Zhang Qiang, or any one of them, what would be the consequences?
"Aunt, I’m just going to say a few words to her." Tang Yue curled her lips, holding Lian Tong’s hand, saying, "Aunt, her face is already ruined, she’s just a patient now, surely you’re not worried she could harm me?"
"Her face is a bit scary, I’m afraid you’ll be frightened."
Lian Tong looked at Tang Yue closely, saying, "When she was sent to the hospital yesterday, she was seriously disfigured and in a terribly bad mood, so..."
"Aunt, if you are uneasy, then e in with me." Tang Yue, holding Lian Tong, was vehemently determined to visit Tao Yujun.
Previously, Tao Yujun plotted against Lian Qingyang, she had heard about it from him, and Meng Siyu taught Tao Yujun a lesson, ending the matter. But unexpectedly, Tao Yujun went further, making Tang Yue pletely outraged inside. She couldn’t be at peace without venting.
"Alright, I’ll acpany you."
Lian Tong gripped Tang Yue’s hand, saying, "Xiao Yue, I always thought you were as innocent as a little white rabbit, didn’t expect, when pushed, even rabbits bite."
"Exactly, Aunt, if something happens to me, will you avenge me?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.
Lian Tong responded without hesitation, "Any who dares to bully you, Aunt will beat them down until they can’t get up."
After being a mother, Lian Tong’s once formidable presence had weakened, but her gaze remained sharply forceful.
"Aunt is really great." Tang Yue affectionately leaned on Lian Tong’s shoulder, extremely pleased, having such a loving aunt made her feel so happy, so blessed.
Hospital.
Even knowing from Lian Tong that Tao Yujun’s situation was dire, seeing her in person turned out even worse than Tang Yue had imagined.
Tao Yujun’s face, most of the skin burned by sulfuric acid, even the neck and beneath the collarbones had burns. Now she resembled a mummy with the upper part bandaged entirely.
Her hand had an IV drip, but the hospital ward appeared chaotic.
Nurses just out of her ward were gossiping how Tao Yujun had smashed objects multiple times, attempted suicide thrice, and pulled out her IV three times.
Quite the troublemaker indeed.
"Tang Yue!"
Tao Yujun instantly recognized Tang Yue. pared to a few years ago, Tang Yue now seemed even more dazzling, which only fueled Tao Yujun’s resentment and anger given her current state.
"Didn’t expect I left such a deep impression on you."
Tang Yue grinned standing at the foot of the bed, not approaching Tao Yujun at all, wary of her going berserk while lying on the bed.
Ding Ling stayed close by Tang Yue, constantly guarded against Tao Yujun.
"Pity, I’ve never seen you before."
Tang Yue seriously eyed Tao Yujun saying, "You were the one spreading rumors about me and Xiao Yang dating, weren’t you? Still, it didn’t matter; Xiao Yang and I are siblings, full blood siblings, disappointed you, didn’t it?"
Tang Yue beamed brightly as she spoke, the more radiant her smile, the greater Tao Yujun’s inferiority. Yesterday, after looking in the mirror, Tao Yujun went mad, for her once proud face was destroyed, as was her life.
Thus, Tao Yujun contemplated suicide several times but couldn’t resign herself.
Raised in privilege with bright prospects, how did she end up like this?
Tao Yujun was utterly baffled.
"Blech, shameless."
Tao Yujun spat towards Tang Yue, but too far away, none reached Tang Yue, instead landed on the bed covers due to her wound, frenziedly throwing off the covers, venting her disgust, "Someone, this blanket is filthy."
Tao Yujun tossed the blanket aside, looking repulsed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Tao family’s eldest lady fallen so low, quite the pity indeed." Tang Yue wasn’t influenced by Tao Yujun’s terrifying appearance, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
This is poetic justice, hoisted by her own petard.
If Tao Yujun hadn’t been so greedy, harming others and herself, would today’s scene have transpired?
"Hmph, Tang Yue, do you think you’ll be glorious indefinitely? Not necessarily, that short-lived husband of yours..." As Tao Yujun’s words ended, Tang Yue’s gaze instantly turned icy.
