Chapter 805: Backing Down, Provoking

Tian Li said: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I just returned to Night City from a business trip and went to the restaurant to see you. They said you haven't been there in the past two days."

Diana replied: "It's okay, I'm tired and want to rest for a few days."

Tian Li said in an unabashedly worried tone: "You scared me to death."

Diana smiled lightly, "You can't help but be scared."

Tian Li said: "I thought something could make the model workers absent from work, and I thought something big had happened."

Diana said: "No, don't worry, you just came back from a business trip, just have a good rest."

Tian Li said: "I brought you something. If you don't go to the restaurant these days, whenever you are free, I will bring it to your home."

If Chang Jingle was not here, Diana would shirk it, but when he was here, she said something retorted as if she was out of control, "Are you free tomorrow? I'll treat you to dinner."

Tian Li replied: "If you have time, I'll wait for your call tomorrow."

The two of them were chatting as if there was no one around. Chang Jingle sat across from him and mechanically put the cake into his mouth. The hazelnut cake was not very sweet, but it didn't taste sour either. He felt like needles pricking his heart, and it always felt like it was huge. The hazelnut cake was placed here. He couldn't eat it, but he had to watch others snatch it.

When Diana hung up the phone, Chang Jingle raised his eyes almost uncontrollably and asked, "Is he chasing you?"

Diana looked at Chang Jingle, her heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and replied: "No, where did you see it?"

Chang Jingle said: "It's too obvious." Do you still need to look?

Diana's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she didn't dare to open her mouth easily for fear that her heart would pop out accidentally.

Lowering her head to eat, she pretended to be casual and said, "Don't always add drama to others. My marriage hasn't even started yet. Why are you chasing me, a divorced person? You're crazy."

Chang Jingle said in his heart: You are crazy, no one cares whether you are divorced or not.

Just as she was thinking about it, Diana said to herself: "Just let it happen when you fall in love and get married. Although happy marriages are similar and unhappy marriages are very different, I have also seen the ugly side of love from beginning to end. Even if I’m hurt, it’s good to be alone like this. At least no one else can make me angry except myself.”

Chang Jingle said: "Your life is so long and you can still be single. What will you do when you get old?"

Diana raised her head and replied with a smile in her eyes: "I have found someone to support me in my old age. Xiao Xi's child has to be supported by me as a godmother, right? When Da Mengmeng gets married and has children in the future, I will have many sons and daughters. "

The corners of Chang Jingle's lips curled up slightly, and he was smiling, but deep down he felt unspeakably sad. To be precise, he felt distressed.

"If you meet the right one, will you take another step forward?" he asked.

Diana lowered her head again, gently pushed the rice in the bowl, and replied seriously: "You said that if you take the next step, should you fall in love or get married? If you fall in love, there are only two results, either marriage or separation. , I have experienced both.”

"You have never been married, so you don't know how troublesome it is to get married. Of course, I didn't know that before. I just got married if I wanted to, regardless of whether my parents objected or not. I just thought that I liked it. At that time, I still If I don’t jump into the Yellow River, I would never die thinking that I would be happy forever, and let my parents see that they were wrong at the beginning, but now it seems...the reality is really a slap in the face.”

With a self-deprecating smile on Diana's lips, Chang Jingle said: "It's not your problem, who hasn't met a few scumbags?"

Diana replied: "It took me hitting a wall to understand that there are no parents who would harm their children. What they say may not be 100% correct, but their worries are definitely not groundless. I wonder if sometimes The authorities are confused, and only outsiders can see clearly.”

Chang Jingle said: "What our parents want is for us to avoid detours. We wish that a big road could lead to Rome. But we are human beings, not machines. We cannot just set a direction and go straight down. I have never been married, but I know that you must marry the person you like, otherwise the rest of your life will last for decades, and I feel like I have lived enough just thinking about it."

Diana looked at Chang Jingle and said with a faint smile: "Suddenly I remembered your words, life is short, but sweet is long."

Chang Jingle also smiled, "Yeah, there's nothing hard to overcome. Once you fill in the hurdles, keep going."

Diana picked up the water glass next to her, raised it and said, "Replace the wine with water. Thank you for having such a good friend in my life."

Chang Jingle had a drink in his hand, raised it up and said, "As long as you are willing, it will be for the rest of your life."

He wasn't sure if he could be her lifelong friend, but he would definitely be by her side as long as she needed it.

…

George Sheng didn't tell Song Xi that Tan Kai's father was the mayor of Zhuhai, Tan Yanbo, lest she get angry again. Tong Hao told him that Tan Kai dared to be confident in Night City. Relying on the good relationship between Tan Sheng and his family, George Sheng felt calm after hearing this, because his principles would not change depending on who the other party was.

It is said that Tan Yanbo has arrived in Night City in a low-key manner, and Tan Kai has managed to save his life after more than ten hours of resuscitation. However, more than fifty hours have passed and he has not yet woken up. The doctor has judged that the risk of becoming a vegetative state cannot be ruled out. .

Tan Yanbo was completely angry at this time. Even if he knew that Tan Kai had touched George Sheng's people first, he couldn't swallow his anger. But this is Night City, not his sphere of influence, so he told Sheng Sheng unabashedly. Zhengrong complained loudly and wanted Sheng Zhengrong to come forward to clean up the Qiao family.

Sheng Zhengrong is indeed at odds with the Qiao family now, but he is not a fool. Why would he stand up for the Tan family and offend George Sheng? What's more, the Tan family is not responsible for the matter, but it cannot be said like this. After all, Tan Yanbo is a disciple of Fang Yaozong, and his current position is not low. Some things of the Sheng family in Zhuhai also rely on the Tan family. help.

Many people were caught in a dilemma for a while, and this kind of moment further highlighted George Sheng's determination and lack of scruples. He was not careless, nor did he care about gains and losses, but these things were simply not worth it in the face of the bottom line and principles. Consider.

He just stood here openly and calmly, and the other party came to him if he had the ability. This kind of retaliation that was almost provocative made the other party gnash his teeth with hatred.

In front of Tan Yanbo, Sheng Zhengrong certainly said that the Qiao family had gone too far, but he did not immediately respond to how to solve the problem. Tan Yanbo was filled with grief and anger, and stayed at Tan Kai's bedside every day. His anger can turn into a poisonous crocodile at any time and bite people to pieces.

Sheng Qianyu came to visit with a thermos bottle. Naturally, the food was not for the unconscious Tan Kai, but for Tan Yanbo, saying that it was made by himself and telling him not to be too anxious. The family was already thinking of a solution.

Tan Yanbo was so anxious that he couldn't eat anything, but the Sheng family gave him enough face, so he couldn't get angry with the Sheng family.

Sheng Qianyu looked at Tan Kai on the hospital bed, sighed inaudibly, and said unconsciously: "What can the images in the surveillance video show? Song Xi went in on his own initiative, and no one saw Tan Kai do anything." What's the matter? Now I'm lying here alone. We were sitting together for dinner a few days ago. He said he liked a female doctor. The female doctor had a bad temper. He chased her and got beaten... I thought this matter was over, but who would have thought that Song Xi would be so ruthless, forcing George Sheng to take Tan Kai's life."

As soon as he said this, Tan Yanbo looked at Sheng Qianyu, his bloodshot eyes straightened, and asked aloud: "You mean, that female doctor did it on purpose?"

Sheng Qianyu said: "I guess, in fact, I had some friendship with George Sheng in the past. He is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation, but since he got together with Song Xi, the relationship between the Qiao family and our family that she instigated is also very bad, otherwise This kind of thing will never happen in Night City."
