Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Tian Xiang didn’t directly answer her brother’s question.

That night, she didn’t sleep well, and by the next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Tian Xiang yawned as she left the house, and saw her father making ginger soup.

"Dad, are you not feeling well?"

Tian Weibing sighed, "Your mom had a fever in the middle of the night."

Hu Honglian fell ill suddenly, and a bowl of ginger soup wasn’t enough to help.

At noon, Tian Xiang brought some food from the factory and rushed home to see how things were, checking Hu Honglian’s forehead to find it’s still burning hot.

Tian Xiang couldn’t stay calm and wanted to take her to the clinic.

Hu Honglian refused, hoarsely saying, "Just get me some painkillers, that’s enough."

"Mom, let’s go and have it checked. The fever won’t go down, you need an injection."

Tian Xiang urged, but Hu Honglian still wouldn’t go, just lied there motionless.

Tian Xiang was left with no choice but to go to the clinic and get painkillers for her.

As she helped her up to take the medicine, Tian Xiang saw her poor complexion, looking pallid, and felt so heartbroken that she cried.

"Mom, don’t be , your daughter will feel guilty."

She was already starting to feel guilty. Such a lively person, now turned into this.

Hu Honglian smiled, "It’s okay, once the medicine is taken, I’ll be fine, go to work."

Tian Xiang wasn’t going, "Mom, I brought food from the factory, I’ll heat it up for you."

Hu Honglian: "No appetite, you eat, I just need a nap."

Since what happened yesterday, Hu Honglian hadn’t made any noise or questioned why her daughter hadn’t told the family about those things, her temper was exceptionally gentle.

But she started to become distant, which made Tian Xiang feel very uncomfortable. She would rather Hu Honglian scold her or even hit her, anything to let out her anger.

But as things were now...

Tian Xiang knew that a rift had already formed between them.

As Tian Xiang biked to work, she was absent-minded throughout the journey, almost bumping into someone halfway.

The other person scolded her, "Do you even have eyes?"

Tian Xiang quickly apologized, feeling even worse afterward.

Returning to the factory to park her bike, she saw Meng Cheng’an had come, clearly waiting for her all along.

Today at noon, they couldn’t have lunch together, Tian Xiang already informed him, and Meng Cheng’an knew Hu Honglian was sick.

Tian Xiang really didn’t want to talk about these things but there was no choice.

She smiled, "The fever hasn’t gone down, but I’ve got some medicine, will check again later."

Meng Cheng’an wanted to ask if it was because of their matter that she got sick, but he dared not speak.

All of this was because of him!

He couldn’t let go of someone else’s daughter, how could he say it?

After watching Tian Xiang return to her office, Meng Cheng’an directly went to the factory committee to find Director Lin.

Director Lin Jianping was handing out work assignments to his subordinates when Meng Cheng’an rushed over without even knocking on the door.

Lin Jianping was startled to see it was Meng Cheng’an, then smiled, "Cheng’an, hold on a second."

Lin Jianping quickly sent everyone out of the office and personally closed the door, asking Meng Cheng’an, "What’s up?"

Meng Cheng’an: "I need to speak with the old man."

Such was his anger that he wouldn’t even call him Grandpa.

Lin Jianping chuckled, "I don’t know. Ever since the old man left, I haven’t heard a word from him."

Meng Cheng’an: "I’m in a hurry, can’t sleep at night, if he doesn’t come back soon, his grandson will be lost."

Lin Jianping looked at Meng Cheng’an’s face.

Oh dear, those dark circles are serious!

"Is it about Tian Xiang?"

Because of Meng Cheng’an, Lin Jianping remembered Tian Xiang’s name.

Meng Cheng’an was silent.

Lin Jianping sighed, patting him, "Hang in there, you’re Mr. Meng’s greatest concern. If he can manage it, he’ll come back to see you first..."

In the afternoon, Tian Xiang clocked out on time.

At the bridge, she also ran into Tian Chenhui.

Tian Chenhui was also worried about the family.

The siblings returned home and saw Hu Honglian still lying there, reached out to check, no improvement, the fever hadn’t gone down, she seemed disoriented.

This time she had to go to the hospital.

Tian Chenhui carried her while Tian Xiang followed behind, quickly heading to the clinic.

Hu Honglian’s fever wouldn’t break, the doctor assessed the situation, administered an injection, and hearing she hadn’t eaten anything all day, also gave her an IV drip.

Hu Honglian’s condition needed monitoring, she had to stay in the hospital.

Tian Xiang insisted on staying with her, Tian Chenhui went home first and brought porridge and food to the hospital in the evening.

This time Tian Weibing also came, seeing his wife lying in bed, neither angry nor smiling, looking spiritless, he didn’t know what to say, just kept sighing.

The three of them jostled over who would stay overnight, and in the end, Tian Xiang stayed.

Before leaving, Tian Weibing called his daughter outside and spoke to her.

"Your mom’s been strong all her life, now she’s sick from anger, it’s a heartache. Comfort her well over the next few days, no matter what, try to keep her calm, don’t let her get angry."

Tian Xiang’s eyes were red, "Dad, I understand."

Tian Xiang stayed by Hu Honglian’s bed all night, and by the next morning, Hu Honglian’s fever finally broke.

Tian Xiang dozed off by the bedside, felt someone touching her head, opened her eyes to see Hu Honglian awake and smiling at her.

Tian Xiang woke up immediately, "Mom, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Hu Honglian shook her head, "Give me some water."

Tian Xiang quickly got busy, once Hu Honglian drank half a cup of water, she gave her warm water to wash her face and hands.

"Mom, are you hungry? I’ll go to the cafeteria to buy you something to eat."

Tian Xiang was thrilled to see she finally wanted to eat, her eyes welled up with emotion.

That day, Tian Xiang let her second brother go to the factory to ask for leave on her behalf, staying here to care for Hu Honglian.

At noon, Tian Chenhui came to check on things and ended up seeing Meng Cheng’an downstairs in the clinic, carrying a bag of items, obviously there to visit.

It’s all because of him that her mother ended up in the hospital, and he had the audacity to show up!

Tian Chenhui angrily stormed over, grabbed Meng Cheng’an by the collar, and dragged him into the alley.

"You have the nerve to show up? Don’t you know it’s because of you my mom got sick and hospitalized? What are you here for? Who wants your stuff anyway! If you truly love my sister, you should leave her, rather than put her in this difficult position."

Meng Cheng’an hung his head, voice low.

Tian Chenhui: "What did you say?"

"I said it’s impossible!!" Meng Cheng’an lifted his head to look at him, "I’ll do anything, even die, but asking me to leave her? It’s impossible."

Meng Cheng’an knew what he brought to Tian Xiang, but even so, he wanted to continue with her; before the end of his life, he couldn’t accept the feeling of not having her by his side. They had already decided to work hard to solve difficulties, not to push each other away.

Tian Chenhui didn’t expect him to be so stubborn. Despite everything, he still clung to his sister and dared to challenge him.

Tian Chenhui couldn’t hold back, punched Meng Cheng’an in the face.
