The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 137
Mei Zhen gave him a reassuring smile and turned to go out .
"By the way, you never told me . What were you doing in Moganshan today? Did you drive up with Wei?" he asked her retreating back .
Mei Zhen froze . This was the question that she had been dreading and it came sooner than she thought . One part of her had been relieved that no one had gotten hurt badly by Fu, but another part was fervently praying that he doesn't get caught by the police . Had she known that he was going to behave like a complete psychopath, she would have never approached him . Now that the things had normalised, wait a second…
She spun around as soon as it hit her .
"You…you know who I am? You got your memory back? When? Why didn't you say something?" she demanded in jubilation .
He replied brusquely, "this evening, while I was at Jia Li's . "
"Oh! I am sooooo happy and relieved . Finally things would go back to normal now . It has been really tough for me for the past few days, you know," she said petulantly .
This wasn't the time to have a discussion with her about the future . He had originally thought of making Jia Li realise about their feelings for each other and in the process, make everyone see the same thing as well . It may have been a poor choice to make but he disliked confrontations .
Secondly, he knew that Jia Li wouldn't accept him if he walked away from his marriage because of her . This way, unwittingly, unknowingly, she was partly responsible for it . Tang grimaced at the thought that if she ever got to know this twisted thought process of his, she would probably kill him with her bare hands . He hadn't even mentioned this thought to his sister and Ethan .
"I am tired and want to rest for a while . Why don't you go back as well? Where are you staying, though?" he asked .
She fumbled to give him an answer lest he asked her again about the reason for her coming to Moganshan in the first place . Thankfully, Chu walked in at that moment, saving her from replying .
"You are still awake? I know I should have insisted upon the Doctor giving you a sedative as well . Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Only actors in movies look dashing with a black eye, broken teeth and swollen lips . Unfortunately, you look terrible . Thankfully the fractured hand didn't suffer any more breakages or the cuts he inflicted upon you were superficial . But I know it for a fact that you are in pain . Your hand is clenched tightly, trying to supress it . Why must you be so difficult to take care of, hmm?" she scolded him with a resigned sigh .
A fond smile broke on his face for the first time in hours . He gestured her to come closer and gave her a tight hug . He sent up a prayer of gratitude for bringing Jia Li and him out of the horror and back to their loved ones .
"I am sorry for the fright you guys got today . I promise not to cause you any more worry . I am going to sleep now . You and Ethan also go back to the hotel . If the doctor agrees, we shall all go back to Shanghai tomorrow," he told her .
Mei Zhen quietly made her escape with the two of them .
Next Morning
"I am absolutely fine . I don't want to stay here . Hospitals make me feel sick," Jia Li was arguing with Wei .
"You are such a bossy woman . Just because I let you get away with most things, you think you can simply override whatever I say," he replied with mock severity .
"You both are creating so much ruckus that it can be heard till the road outside the hospital . Just think about other patients in the hospital, Jia Li," Tang stood at Jia Li's room entrance and said with a touch of dry humour .
Despite Wei's presence in the room, Tang couldn't summon any irritation at the moment . He was just GLAD to see Jia Li alive and animated . He had peeped into her room at least thrice last night, before the nurse threatened to call the doctor and complain about him not resting . How badly had he wished that it was him holding her hand as she slept instead of Wei . But Tang was grateful for his presence in Jia Li's room, especially with Fu still on the run .
"Are you feeling as terrible as you look?" Wei asked him, surveying the various shades of red, purple, mauve and black on Tang's face .
Jia Li nudged him for the mean comment, "how is the pain? What did the doctor say?"
"Shouldn't that be my question to you instead?" he answered with a smile .
