C82 (1/2)
Tang Zhen was unconscious for a whole half a day, and during this period of time, no matter if it was the servants or Tang Zijun, neither of them came to see her.
The chaos in the villa was a stark contrast to Tang Zhen's coma.
After an unknown period of time, an urgent phone call rang in the living room.
The noise from the phone woke Tang Zhen from his stupor. Tang Zhen slowly opened her eyes and wanted to call out to Aunt Li, but her throat felt like it was being held by someone, making her unable to utter a sound.
Tang Zhen supported himself as he struggled to move to the side of the phone and picked up the call.
”Zijun, it's me.”
Just as Tang Zhen picked up the phone, he heard an anxious middle-aged man's voice. The voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Tang Zhen shifted her body once again, trying her best to sit steadily. With one hand, she pulled down the sofa and placed the receiver beside her ear.
Before she could say anything, she heard the voice on the other side.
”Zijun, I've helped you hide what happened that year for so many years, you should let me go back now, right?”
The man opened his mouth once again, the meaning behind his words seemed to have caught hold of Tang Zijun's weakness, the pleading tone contained a tinge of threat.
”Who are you?” Tang Zhen suddenly opened her mouth. This man's voice was too familiar.
”Yes …” It's Zirconia, I'm... Zirconia, I'm Zirconia, Zirconia, Zirconia, Zirconia, Zirconium, Zirconium, Zirconium, Zirconium, Zirconium... ”I'm your dad, I'm right outside your house right now. Can you open the door for your dad and let him in?”
The man heard Tang Zhen's voice clearly. As if he had grasped onto a lifesaver, he begged Tang Zhen excitedly.
Tang Zhen frowned, her initially pale face now looked even more pale, but after hearing Wei Jie's words, she couldn't help but to turn towards the main entrance.
”I'm sorry, I won't open the door to anyone without my mother's permission.”
Her aura had already weakened, and her lips were frighteningly white. She didn't know what Wei Jie came over for at this time.
However, given Tang Zijun's current state, it was not certain if she was willing to see Wei Jie, so she did not dare to make any decisions.
”Zerg... ”Xiao Chen, don't hang up, go tell your mother that I'm at the door, help me tell her that the deadline has arrived, and she will naturally let me in, be good.”
Wei Jie hurriedly called out to Tang Zhen, as if he had already made up his mind.
Tang Zhen looked at the phone in hesitation. She was hesitating whether she should go and tell Tang Zijun or not when she saw Aunt Li coming down the stairs.
”Eldest Miss, why do you look so ugly? I'll help you up the stairs to rest.”
Seeing how weak Tang Zhen was, Aunt Li immediately ran in front of her and helped her up.
When Sister-in-Law Li was young, due to difficulties at home, she had once received a favor from her grandmother. Out of gratitude, she had always taken care of Tang Zijun, and knew that Tang Zhen was her grandmother's most beloved granddaughter, so she took extra care of him.
Tang Zhen was supported by Aunt Li weakly, she could not help but glance at the phone before slowly speaking.
”Sister Li, just now, someone called to claim that my father has arrived. He said that the time limit set with mother has arrived and asked mother to meet him.”
Tang Zhen said weakly, her legs could no longer support her, and her entire body fell on Sister Li's body.
”Did he say when your mother would see him?”
When Sis Li heard Tang Zhen's words, her face changed greatly, she quickly looked at Tang Zhen, and seeing that she did not suspect anything, she asked.
”He said … He's at home now. ”
Tang Zhen said weakly, Aunt Li had already helped her up onto the bed and covered her with a blanket.
”Alright, I understand. Rest well. I'll get my family doctor to come and take a look at you later.”
Sister-in-law Li smiled lovingly without a hint of abnormality in her eyes. She turned to leave the bedroom as soon as she finished her sentence.
