The sky-high price of marriage: Mr. Huo's little wife

Chapter 858 Counterfeit Medicine Trading
During the meal, Tang Shiyi rested his chin and looked at the woman sitting across from him drinking red wine elegantly, and couldn't help sighing, "Wan Ding, why do I like you so much?"

Huo Wanding paused for a moment, then asked him lightly, "How many women have you said this to?"

"I swear, I only told you that, you know, you are the woman I love the most in my life!" Tang Shiyi looked serious and almost didn't swear in front of her.

Huo Wanding didn't know whether to laugh or to be speechless, "Don't you feel that while you are saying that I am your favorite woman, on the other hand, you are taking other women to a friend's party, which is ambiguous and scumbag?"

Tang Shiyi knew what she was talking about, and felt that it was necessary to explain this question to her, "Let me explain to you this way, the one I approached was not Xiang Yixia, but Xiang Yeliang."

"Is it different?"

"Of course it's different, Wanding, do you know why I want to be a doctor?" Tang Shiyi never thought that one day he would tell others about this.

But in order to reassure Wan Ding, he also felt that he should tell her something.

Huo Wanding slowed down the speed of eating.

It's just that she didn't wait until Tang Shiyi spoke again.

She raised her eyelids and glanced at the man across from him. Tang Shiyi was lost in thought, without the usual sunshine, feeling a little melancholy...

This was the first time Huo Wanding saw Tang Shiyi like this, and he became a little more mature after he calmed down.

It's just that this maturity and melancholy made her a little... well, distressed.

Everyone will have a secret and past that they don't want to tell outsiders, just like her, she never wants to mention her ex-boyfriend and Song Manman to outsiders.

She raised her chopsticks and picked up a salt and pepper chicken nugget and put it on the plate in front of him, and said softly, "Don't think about it, let's eat! I believe you."

When she saw Tang Shiyi taking Xiang Yixia to a friend's party, she was furious, but not stupid.Even if Tang Shiyi held Xiang Yixia in his arms, she could feel that the atmosphere between them was not as ambiguous as that between lovers.

At least the way Tang Shiyi looked at Xiang Yixia was not as hot and affectionate as when he looked at himself.

She was just angry with this man who kept saying that he liked her, and Xiang Yixia was still by his side.

Tang Shiyi grabbed her left hand, which was not holding chopsticks, and kissed it on her lips, "Wan Ding, my mother passed away 15 years ago. At that time, she was 45 years old and I was only 11 years old."

About Tang Shiyi's family, he only said once in Los Angeles, and only said that his father had many sons.

"She is a doctor in nephrology. She has a benevolent heart all her life, and she has the ideal of an angel in white. Her heart is like a lotus flower, saving lives and healing the wounded... When I was young, my mother was the angel in my heart. She is beautiful and gentle to others. Dad was also very good to her... But, all this changed drastically when I was eight years old."

Huo Wanding silently put down his chopsticks, and concentrated on looking at the man in memory.

Mentioning the angel in his heart, his whole gaze softened, just like the look he had every time he looked at her.

"When I was eight years old, my peers were all in the second and third grades, and I had already skipped to the fifth grade. Once she didn't go home for two days, which was normal for her who took work as her life. They lived and ate in the hospital. But three days later, a piece of news spread that Chu Zhaoxue, chief physician of the Department of Nephrology at the No. [-] City Hospital, used fake medicine to kill a patient."

Tang Shiyi's voice sank a little, and his eyes fell on the unknown place outside the window, "Not only that, but someone came forward to testify against her for dealing in counterfeit medicines." Speaking of this, he held her hand for three minutes, as if Hold back your emotions.

"Did you know?" Tang Shiyi suddenly smiled at Huo Wanding, with strong irony in his smile, "The person who testified against her is a little girl less than five years old."

The law stipulates that people who are young and unable to distinguish right from wrong and cannot express themselves correctly cannot be witnesses.Witness testimony must be verified before it can be used as the basis for a verdict.

But in Chu Zhaoxue's case, the little girl's testimony came into force.

At that time, a series of evidences and spearheads all pointed to Chu Zhaoxue. During that time, Tang Shiyi saw many people coming to the house to find his parents.He asked the adults in the family what happened, but no one told him.

Chu Zhaoxue was still comforting him, saying that it was a small matter, and it would be fine if it passed, he believed it.

On the day Chu Zhaoxue was arrested, Tang Shiyi was sent to the United States by his father to study. When he knew that his mother was in prison or his half-brother told him later.

He made hundreds of phone calls to his father asking to go back to China. Not only did his father not let him go back, but he also found many people to watch him and told him to study hard, and he was determined not to let him come back.

In the end, he had no choice but to contact his old and isolated grandfather, who came forward and asked someone to take him back to Yuecheng.

When Grandpa brought him to see Chu Zhaoxue in prison, Chu Zhaoxue had long since lost her usual radiance and brilliance.In just a short period of time, she has aged a lot. A woman in her early forties has more than half of her hair gray, and her plump figure has become as thin as a stick.

When she saw Tang Shiyi, she smiled for the first time in so many days, "Shiyi, are you back?"

Tang Shiyi looked at the middle-aged woman in shock. At that moment, he really wanted to say that you are not my mother!But, that's exactly what it is!
"Mom, what happened?" Tang Shiyi really wanted to hug her, but he couldn't because there was a huge glass between them and they could only talk on the phone.

Chu Zhaoxue's smile remained unchanged, "In the past, you always told your mother not to study medicine in the future. It is tiring, laborious, unpleasant, and dangerous. Mom still doesn't agree with your idea, but now, Shi Yi, listen to your mother's words, and in the future Don’t study medicine for anything, you know?”

Tang Shiyi didn't speak.

"Study hard abroad and don't come back again. Mom will visit you when she has a chance. Live well, study hard, and be a useful person to the country in the future! Don't be like your mother, who has lived for so many years and lost the reputation of a prisoner. ..."

"Who said you were a prisoner!" Tang Shiyi interrupted her loudly, "Why do they say you are a prisoner? You are not you!"

Chu Zhaoxue laughed and cried, the only person in this world who still trusts her is her son, right?Her son is so sensible..."Shi Yi is good, living well is more important than anything else."

After Tang Shiyi came out of prison, he went straight to the Tang family.

Seeing his father, Tang Shiyi beat him up with all his might.

But he has small legs and feet, even though he has fought a lot, there is still a big difference when facing a grown man.

He was quickly subdued, and his father was furious, "Tang Shiyi, why are you crazy!"

Tang Shiyi also yelled at him, "My mother is in prison, why is she in prison, why don't you help her!"
