The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 104
Till date, no one knew about the true state of her marriage with Tang . She had been keeping the charade of being a happy couple going for many months now . But the recent events had left her utterly exhausted . Her heart had chosen to overlook Tang's reaction to the news of Jia Li's divorce . She had naively believed that Tang would seek comfort in her arms after seeing that green eyed witch's involvement with Wei . But instead, it had driven him to go behind her back and plot an entry back into Jia Li's life . Had it not been for the accident, she would have not known about his visit to Moganshan and his secret plan of associating himself with Wei's project .
She wrung her hands in frustration .
"You have been so quiet ever since you came home . I understand you are upset and worried about Xie Tang . But I am sure he will get better soon," her mother consoled her .
"You don't understand, mom . What if he doesn't get his memory back anytime soon? What am I supposed to do till then?" she voiced her inner most worry .
"I have full faith that he would recover soon enough," her mother replied, trying to console her .
"And even if he doesn't, we will go ahead and tell him about the marriage . He has to fulfil his duty as a husband, memory or no memory," her father said firmly, as he entered the lavishly decorated living area .
The Liang family was known for their shrewd business sense and ruthlessness, which is what made them extremely successful and powerful in the society .
Whether it was their eclectic style of designing their multiple hotels or the grandeur architecture of their home, everything screamed money and power . The house had more artefacts on display than a small museum, most of which had been collected personally by the father and daughter on their various sojourns to different countries over the years . Mr . Liang often lamented upon Mei Zhen having been born a girl . Despite that, he had brought her up with the sensibilities of his heir to the business .
Mei Zhen looked at her father's determined face and drew comfort from it .
"He is right . Why should I be the one getting worried? I am his lawfully wedded wife . He can't escape it . It is a matter of few hours . Once, he is back in Shanghai, I would not let him out of my sight . Who knows, maybe this time we can restart our relationship on a new ground," she thought with a firm smile .
Mrs . Xie entered her son's hospital room and was taken aback . Jia Li was fast asleep, her body on the chair and head on the hospital bed, next to Tang . Exhaustion was etched on her face, or maybe it was worry . He, on the other hand, had few strands of her hair woven around his finger and was playing with them, a gentle smile resting on his lips . She stood there looking at his unguarded expressions .
Normally a reserved person, he kept his emotions tightly in check . But his love for the woman next to him was blindingly visible to anyone who chose to look into his eyes at the moment . Mrs . Xie couldn't recall the last time she had seen this kind of contentment on her son's face . For those brief seconds, she deeply resented her husband for putting their son through so much pain over the years .
She coughed politely to alert him of her presence in the room . Tang looked up at her and flashed her a quick grin . Placing a finger on his lips, he gestured his mother to not make any sound .
She shook her head and came near his bed .
"I think you better wake her up . Your father is on his way in as well . He may not, err, this may not…" her voice trailed off .
Tang thought of disagreeing with her but decided against antagonising his father in this moment . He knew that the brunt of it will be borne by Jia Li instead of him . He placed a tender kiss on Jia Li's forehead .
"Wake up sleepyhead . I am the one who has been prescribed the rest but seems like you are the one who needed it more," he whispered in her ear with a smile .
His words tickled her out of sleep . She opened her eyes to see him looking at her with a loving expression . It felt familiar . Multiple times in the past she had imagined herself waking up next to him and every time he had the same expression on his face as he did now .
She returned his smile and sat up, only to freeze the next second .
