"Uncle and Aunt, stop arguing. Let's talk things over nicely. Don't argue anymore, okay?"
Zheng Wanyin and Zhu Yuan had been together for a long time, and Zhu Yuan had always doted on his wife. Afraid of scaring her, he rarely spoke so loudly. But today he was so angry with Zhu Zhengchu that he couldn't help it.
Zheng Wanyin was a rather gentle and delicate woman. After being shouted at by Zhu Yuan like that, tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Xiang Yutang felt extremely awkward. What should she do in this situation? Didn't her father say that Uncle Zhu doted on his wife? If he doted on her, why did he speak so loudly?
Seeing Zheng Wanyin crying, Zhu Yuan's previous imposing manner faded away. He pursed his lips and said nothing. Zheng Wanyin didn't look at him either and kept wiping her tears.
Xiang Yutang took out a pack of tissues. "Um... Uncle Zhu, wipe Aunt's tears for her."
Alas, what a mess this was!
Zhu Yuan didn't respond at first, but after a while, probably because he felt sorry for his wife crying like this, he went over awkwardly to comfort her.
Xiang Yutang stared at Zhu Yuan and was lost in thought for a moment. She remembered what Xiang Zhengyun had said.
Xiang Zhengyun said that Zhu Yuan would do anything for his wife. He had given up his previous position and started from scratch. He was not afraid of hardship and was determined to give Aunt Zheng a stable home. Why could Zhu Yuan do this, while Zhu Zhengchu was different?
Could it be that Zhu Zhengchu wasn't Zhu Yuan's son?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yutang was amused by her own wild imagination. She turned to look at Zhu Zhengchu's strong and handsome features and couldn't help pouting. This guy was really wasting his good looks. If he wasn't so handsome, she wouldn't have fallen for him so quickly back then.
She let her mind wander like this all the way until they finally arrived at the city hospital. Zhu Zhengchu was transferred into the hospital for a full - body check - up. Xiang Yutang sat on the bench outside and reported their safety to others.
"Tangtang, if that bastard Zhu Zhengchu does anything to you, you must give him a hard slap!" Ying Zikui kept looking up self - defense techniques for women for Xiang Yutang. Xiang Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"He's in this state. Even if I let him have one hand free, he can't hurt me. Don't worry."
Just as she was talking to Ying Zikui, the director suddenly called.
"Hello? Director, what's up?"
The director's voice sounded a bit urgent. "Have you arrived? How is Teacher Zhu's condition now?"
Xiang Yutang whispered, "We've arrived. He's inside for the check - up now. Don't worry. I'll let you know if there's anything."
The director's voice sounded a bit hesitant. "Yutang... this..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's just, after you're all better, can you come back to shoot? Because the previous publicity has already been released, saying that Teacher Zhu and you will be in it, and the fans have strongly supported it. They've been talking about it under the official blog for several days. No one expected such a thing to happen. Normally, withdrawing from the shoot wouldn't be a big deal. At most, the fans would be a bit disappointed. But Teacher Zhu is withdrawing from the recording because of such a serious injury. I'm really scared..."
Fans could sometimes bring a lot of warmth, but sometimes their destructive power was also huge. If some irrational fans found out that Zhu Zhengchu was seriously injured on this set, they would surely give the show the lowest rating. Then it would be all over. Even Zhuo Ziyu and Ying Zikui couldn't save the rating.
Xiang Yutang said gently, "Don't be too anxious. I will definitely come back to shoot, after all, the publicity has already been done. But I don't know what Zhu Zhengchu thinks. I'll ask him clearly and then let you know, okay?"
The director quickly said yes. "Okay, okay, okay. It's good that you can come." If Xiang Yutang came, Zhu Zhengchu would surely follow, and he wouldn't have to worry so much.
Xiang Yutang hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
"Tangtang, I'll stay here and watch. You go and rest first." Zheng Wanyin appeared with a bag of things.
Xiang Yutang smiled. "It's okay. I'm not tired. Aunt, you've been in the car all day. You must be tired. Go and rest."
Zheng Wanyin shook her head and sorted out the things in the bag. "These are all the things Zhengchu likes to use. I'll wait for the results and then put them in his ward for him."
Xiang Yutang accidentally glanced at the things and was stunned.
The food container, thermos cup, and ziplock bags were all bought by Xiang Yutang for Zhu Zhengchu before. She had already thrown them away. Did Zhu Zhengchu still keep them?
Zheng Wanyin sighed as she sorted out the things. "These things have been around for so long, but he won't let us throw them away. I really don't know what this boy is thinking."
Xiang Yutang averted her gaze and pretended not to notice.
After Zheng Wanyin sorted out the things, her gentle eyes fell on Xiang Yutang. Xiang Yutang looked back at her. Zhu Zhengchu really had inherited all of his mother's good features. His eyebrows and nose were extremely similar to hers.
"Tangtang, I'm sorry. That boy Zhengchu was acting stupid before. Anyway, I still have to apologize on his behalf."
Xiang Yutang said awkwardly, "It's okay, Aunt. It's all in the past. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zheng Wanyin sighed. "Tangtang, actually he really likes you. He just didn't realize it before. He mentioned you at home once. At that time, I didn't know you two were together. I even said I'd introduce someone to you, and then he got angry. He..."
Although it was impolite to interrupt an elder, Xiang Yutang still interrupted. "Aunt, I don't know if he likes me or not, but we've already broken up. It's all his fault."
Zheng Wanyin closed her mouth. After a while, she said sadly, "Can't you give him a chance? I swear as a mother that he will treat you well."
Xiang Yutang ran her fingers through her hair impatiently and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Aunt, this is our own business. We'll sort it out by ourselves later, okay?"
Zheng Wanyin said, "I didn't want to talk to you about this before. I was afraid of putting pressure on you. But this time, this boy still remembered you so firmly even after hitting his head. I think he's really in love. I don't dare to ask you to forgive him, but just take a closer look at him and give him more chances to show himself. He will satisfy you..."
Xiang Yutang didn't know what to say. After they were silent for a long time, the doctor finally walked out.
"How's the situation?" Zheng Wanyin stepped forward worriedly. Xiang Yutang also followed.
The doctor said, "The injuries in other parts of his body aren't that serious, but the injury to his brain may need further observation. We'll provide the best treatment for Mr. Zhu. Don't worry, both of you."
"Will he be able to remember the things from before?" If Zhu Zhengchu remembered, she could leave.
