1093 Hospitalized
Jiang Yi had originally thought that she would be able to use this fact to lord over Xu Lan, but she did not expect Xu Lan to produce Xia Wen's medical report and throw it at her face without any hesitation. No matter how uneducated she was, she could understand what was written on that piece of paper.
After that, Jiang Yi could only walk out of the Xia family house dejectedly with her head down. If there was nothing wrong with Xia Wen, then Tan Jing must be the problem! There was no reason for her to ask for any money, so what else could she do but to return home!
Even after Xia Wen and Tan Jing returned from overseas, she did not dare to go over and mention this matter. Later on, when she realized that the Xia family did not use this issue as a reason to bully Tan Jing, she shamelessly went to ask them for money again.
"You still refuse to admit it! Isn't it your fault that the two of you can't have children all these years! If it's not for the fact that you're the one who can't get pregnant, would I need to run out of the Xia family's house so embarrassedly! How is it that I gave birth to such a useless person like you! Why don't you just go out and get hit by a car!" Jiang Yi kept cursing, as if the person she was talking about was not her biological daughter.
"I want to die too, but aren't you the one who can't bear to part with me?" Tan Jing said.
Jiang Yi was so angry that she went forward and gave Tan Jing a slap. She said angrily, "Go and die then! Die now! Do you think I'm scared about you dying! If you want to die, you'd better die in the Xia family's house. This way, we can still extort a large sum of money from them. Even if you die, make yourself useful! You'll embarrass yourself if you die anywhere else! You can't even compare with those stray cats and dogs!"
Tan Jing was long used to Jiang Yi's behavior and lowered her head to ignore her. If she had a choice, she would not want to be part of such a family! If she could have a life like Xia He's… No! If she could have Qiao Mei's life, she would not have ended up like this!
Why did all of this become her fault? The heavens were really unfair.
Tan Jing only left the house after Jiang Yi finished scolding her. She went to the park again and sat in the same spot as that night. She suddenly looked forward to bumping into Cheng Gu.
She regretted not exchanging contact information with Cheng Gu. If only she knew where Cheng Gu was, she could have a chat with him and it would make her feel better. Other than Cheng Gu, there was no one else who could understand her current predicament.
"Elder sister, are you missing me?" Cheng Gu's voice suddenly came from behind Tan Jing.
Tan Jing turned around in surprise and looked at Cheng Gu. She could not hide the smile on her face as she said happily, "Cheng Gu! Why are you here?"
"Recently, an elder in my family has fallen ill, so I'm back to stay for two days. It's such a coincidence to run into you while I'm taking photos. Are you also back to visit your relatives?" Cheng Gu asked.
Tan Jing laughed bitterly. Could this be considered a visit to her parents? It should be. If the Xia family said so, then so be it. She did not have any choice at all.
"From the looks of it, elder sister… Did something happen to you? Is there anything I can help with?" Cheng Gu sat beside Tan Jing and asked gently.
Just as Tan Jing was about to say something to Cheng Gu, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The pain felt like it was going to tear her apart. She held the right side of her abdomen and curled up, groaning softly.
"Elder sister? Elder sister, what's wrong! Don't scare me!" Cheng Gu grabbed Tan Jing's arm and asked anxiously.
At this moment, Tan Jing was in so much pain that she could not speak. Cheng Gu did not hesitate and immediately carried Tan Jing back to his car to drive her to the nearest hospital.
The doctor diagnosed Tan Jing with acute appendicitis and said that she must have her appendix removed. Otherwise, it would become even more serious in the future. If the appendix's condition festered and it became inflamed, the consequences would be unimaginable! At that time, she might even lose her life!
"Are you the patient's family member?" the doctor looked at Cheng Gu and asked.
Cheng Gu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, how is she now?"
"The patient needs surgery and we need her family members to sign off. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can you sign off for her?" the doctor asked.
"I have to discuss this with her. Can I come and look for you after she wakes up?" Cheng Gu said.
"Yes, but try to decide as soon as possible. I can only wait until tomorrow. With the patient's condition, we should not delay it any further." With that, the doctor went to do rounds at the other wards.
Cheng Gu went out to buy a lot of food and then sat quietly and motionlessly near Tan Jing's bed. He held on to Tan Jing's hands tightly, worried that he would not notice it when she woke up.
