Lin Hao

Nan Jianlong was still staying in the hospital; that slightly cramped ward was permeated with a faint smell of disinfectant, making one's mood involuntarily somewhat depressed.

Nan Jianlong lay quietly on the hospital bed, his complexion somewhat pale, his eyes revealing fatigue and helplessness.

He would sometimes stare blankly at the ceiling, sometimes sigh softly, his heart full of worry over his physical condition and vexation over family trivialities.

And Tian Yulan never showed her face, as if she had vanished from their lives.

Nan Li's heart was filled with disappointment and dissatisfaction toward Tian Yulan; she frowned and muttered to herself, "This Tian Yulan, still not showing up even now, is really too much."

After Nan Li brought the child back home, she and Xia Junshan both applied to work from home. Every day they rushed between the hospital and home.

In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the window into the room; Nan Li and Xia Junshan got up early and prepared breakfast for the children.

In the hospital, they carefully looked after Nan Jianlong, asked about his physical condition, and brought him some warmth and comfort.

Nan Li asked softly, "Dad, how are you feeling today? Any better?"

Nan Jianlong shook his head slightly, his speech very slurred, stammering, "Still... still the same, no strength at all."

Xia Junshan hurriedly said, "Dad, don't be anxious, take your time recovering, you'll get better."

Although Cai Juying was also at the hospital every day, looking after Nan Jianlong wholeheartedly.

She carried carefully prepared meals, hoping to let Nan Jianlong eat better and recover his health as soon as possible.

However, Nan Li acted as if she hadn't seen her at all, not even greeting her.

Nan Li's eyes were full of coldness, as if Cai Juying simply did not exist.

Cai Juying's heart was full of grievance and helplessness, but she didn't dare say much, only able to silently endure it all.

Nan Jianlong also ignored Cai Juying, refusing to eat the food Cai Juying brought.

His heart was full of resentment toward Cai Juying and Tian Yulan, feeling that she had not fulfilled her due responsibility when he fell ill.

He looked at Cai Juying, his eyes revealing disappointment and anger. Cai Juying tried to explain, but Nan Jianlong simply wouldn't listen.

Cai Juying said chokingly, "Just eat a little, this was all specially made for you by me."

Nan Jianlong turned his head away, saying coldly, "I don't want to eat, take it away." The atmosphere in the ward became extraordinarily awkward and tense, everyone's heart full of contradictions and entanglement.

At this moment, Tian Yulan actually showed up carrying things.

She gently pushed open the door, her face piled with smiles, that smile carrying a trace of deliberate ingratiation and deep unease. She greeted them enthusiastically, her voice clear and crisp: "Nan Shu, Li Li, hello! I'm here! This period has been really too busy, a pile of things at the company waiting for me to handle, never able to squeeze out time to come see you, really embarrassed."

However, her enthusiasm received no response. Nan Jianlong and Nan Li just looked at her coldly, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Nan Jianlong frowned slightly, his face overcast.

Nan Li pressed her lips tightly, her eyes revealing coldness and disgust. Seeing through Tian Yulan's character at a glance, Nan Li said directly: "Tian Yulan, if you don't bring up your matter with Zhong Yi, today I won't drive you out." Obviously Nan Li also knew what happened online.

Hearing this, Tian Yulan's face was full of embarrassment, her smile instantly freezing on her face. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, yet didn't know where to start.

She stammered, "Li Li, listen to me, things aren't as you think..."

Nan Li cut off her words, saying coldly, "Then you tell me, how are things? Why did you report Zhong Yi? And smear Wukong Education and Zhong Yi online? Do you know how much trouble your behavior brought others?"

Tian Yulan lowered her head, not daring to look Nan Li in the eyes. She said in a low voice, "I was also doing it for Zi You's good. I felt Teacher Zhong Yi tutoring Mi Tao was unfair, Zi You also works hard, why can't he get the same opportunity?"

Nan Li said angrily, "You're being selfish! You only consider your own child, yet disregard others' feelings. Teacher Zhong Yi tutoring Mi Tao has a reason, and it went through proper procedures. What you did not only hurt Teacher Zhong Yi and Wukong Education, but also set a bad role model for Zi You."

Seeing this, Nan Jianlong asked in puzzlement, "What matter?"

Nan Li didn't have much reservation either, and told Nan Jianlong about Tian Yulan reporting Zhong Yi and smearing Wukong Education and Zhong Yi online.

Nan Li's tone was full of anger and disappointment; as she spoke she looked at Tian Yulan with accusing eyes. "Tian Yulan, how could you do such a thing? Teacher Zhong Yi has always tutored students wholeheartedly, yet you went to smear him for your own selfish desires. Do you know how much trouble your behavior brought others?"

After hearing it all, Nan Jianlong turned red with anger, nearly passing out from rage again.

He pointed at Tian Yulan with trembling finger, saying angrily, "How can you be so muddleheaded. Hurry up and scram for me, I don't want to see you again!" Speaking, he forcefully picked up the fruit on the table and threw it at Tian Yulan.

Tian Yulan shrank her neck in fright, a flash of terror crossing her eyes.

She looked at the furious Nan Jianlong and the cold Nan Li, her heart full of regret. She knew she had really done wrong this time, but whatever she said now was already too late. She silently turned around and left in a dejected slink.

The room fell into a stretch of silence; Nan Jianlong and Nan Li's moods were both very heavy. Nan Li walked to Nan Jianlong's side, gently held his hand, and said, "Dad, don't be angry anymore, she's not worth it. We'll properly recuperate, other things can be said later."

Nan Jianlong sighed, nodded. Their hearts were full of helplessness.

In the hospital corridor, the lights were dim and quiet, only the occasional footsteps of passing medical staff breaking this tranquility.

Tian Yulan stood before Cai Juying with a face full of anxiety and remorse, she tightly grabbed Cai Juying's arm, as if clutching a last life-saving straw. Her voice carried a sob, trembling as she said, "Mom, you must go talk to Nan Shu, have Nan Li and Xia Junshan help me beg Zhong Yi for mercy. Xia Junshan is Zhold Yi's fellow townsman and senior schoolmate, speaking to Zhong Yi definitely still carries some weight. Mom, think, if I really go to prison, it's all over from then on, what about Zi You? Zi You is still so small, he can't be without a mother."

Tian Yulan's eyes were full of fear and helplessness, tears spinning in her eye sockets; she deeply knew she had stirred up huge trouble this time, yet didn't know how to make amends.

Listening to Tian Yulan's words, Cai Juying's face showed helplessness and disappointment. She shook her head slightly, sighed: "Yuan Yu, how can you be so muddleheaded? The matter on District Head Li's side hasn't even been resolved yet, and you've stirred up new trouble. What am I to do with you?"

But after all she was her own daughter, Cai Juying gritted her teeth, and had to brace herself to go find Nan Jianlong.

She paced back and forth in the corridor, her heart uneasy and apprehensive. She would glance toward the ward door from time to time, yet didn't dare easily enter.

She didn't dare speak in front of Nan Li, waiting in the corridor until Nan Li left before entering the ward to find Nan Jianlong.

Cai Juying paced while muttering to herself, "What to do about this? This child Yuan Yu, how can she be so insensible?"

Finally, Cai Juying saw Nan Li leave the ward. She gently pushed open the door, saw Nan Jianlong lying on the hospital bed, face pale. She carefully walked to the bedside, saying softly, "Old Nan, I have something I want to tell you."

Nan Jianlong slightly opened his eyes, looked at Cai Juying, but didn't speak.

Cai Juying hesitated a moment, said: "It's about Yuan Yu's matter. She knows she was wrong, she had me come beg you, have Nan Li and Xia Junshan help her beg Zhong Yi for mercy. She doesn't want to go to prison, she's also worried about Zi You. Just for Zi You's sake, help her once. She was muddleheaded for a moment, she'll definitely change afterward."

Nan Jianlong heard this, his face even more overcast. He said angrily, "She did such a thing and still has the face to beg for mercy? I won't help her. This is her own doing."

Cai Juying hurriedly said, "Don't be so angry. Yuan Yu knows she was wrong, she really knows she was wrong. Just forgive her this once. Zi You can't be without a mother."

Nan Jianlong was silent for a while, didn't speak. Cai Juying stood by the bed, anxiously awaiting his response. The atmosphere in the ward became extraordinarily tense.
