Chapter 171 Delicacy
Li Rongqi was frightened by the words Jiang Tao said, the first reaction was that she did not want to go to jail, because she was afraid, because she was worried, so she spat out some words without thinking, in order to get Jiang Tao to let her off the hook. In this situation, she said the words to her mother what kind of harm she thought not even think about, the only thought in her head is to let Jiang Tao let her go.
Right, she now thinks of is to let Jiang Tao let her go, and does not include her mother. She had to save herself, first, before she spoke of her favorable feelings towards Jiang Tao and Lin Hao, subconsciously believing that this would make Jiang Tao soften his heart towards her a little. In the end, she was young and pretty, and men have always demanded a little less from girls.
Chu Xiang frowned, unable to understand Li Rongqi’s thinking. Li Rongqi’s excuse that she told Hao Shufen about Zishan’s serious illness, and that Hao Shufen didn’t tell Li Yaoxu, Chu Xiang could understand – Hao Shufen, if she could raise a caring daughter, that would be a hell of a thing to do, and then selfish people would naturally teach selfish sons and daughters.
She could not understand and accept Li Rongqi on Jiang Tao’s requirements, because Li Rongqi on Jiang Tao like it or not is Li Rongqi things, off Jiang Tao what things? Jiang Tao should be tolerant of Li Rongqi because she likes him? There is really no such reasoning.
Xue Jing said dryly, “I really think that all the men in the world owe her.”
Jiang Tao looked at Li Rongqi, not impressed by her pain and words, coldly said, “Everyone has to be responsible for their own words and actions, what you have done will have to bear what kind of consequences, I, never harmed anyone. As for whether you like me or not, it has nothing to do with this matter. Also, I don’t really like you liking me, your liking is more than a nuisance to me.”
Such cold and desperate words caused Li Rongqi’s crying to stifle, it was the first time she had heard a man say such words to her, in a blur of tears she tried to look at Jiang Tao, but could only see a cloud of shadows, “How can you be so cruel, I like you so so much.”
Jiang Tao frowned: “None of my business.” He glanced at Hao Shufen: “You, will pay the price, every person who harms others will pay the price sooner or later, the difference is just sooner or later. The law is just, and God is also just.” After he finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze to look at the operating room, pursed his mouth tightly and waited for Zi Shan’s news.
He no longer wanted to say anything more to Li Rongqi, as it turned out that Li Rongqi was just as incomprehensible as Hao Shufen.
Li Rongqi cried out anew, for herself, “I don’t want to go to jail, mom, I don’t want to go to jail.” She grabbed Hao Shufen’s clothes and cried because it was the only thing she could rely on.
Hao Shufen also did not think Jiang Tao also want to pursue her and her daughter’s fault, but just said two words less, what is the big mistake? She wasn’t a timid person, especially because her daughter’s fear made her bold – she didn’t care about what Li Rongqi had just said, and she wouldn’t have minded taking things into her own hands if something had really happened.
“Don’t you dare scare people here, why don’t you leave us alone you go ahead and see if I’ll be scared.” Hao Shufen shouted, “What’s wrong with what Rongqi said, even if Li Zisan dies today so what, it can’t be all Rongxuan’s fault, it’s her Li Zisan who is looking for death! The doctor had already told her to have the surgery, but she was dragging her feet and just didn’t do it, if she had done it earlier, there wouldn’t have been anything like what happened today!”
“This is all Li Zishan’s own fault, she brought this on herself, it has nothing to do with Rong Xuan, and even less to do with me and Rong Qi.” Her eyes glazed over as she stared at Jiang Tao, “Don’t put the blame on our heads indiscriminately.”
Xue Jing’s fire couldn’t be suppressed anymore, she stepped forward and pointed at Hao Shufen and cursed, “Try telling me again, why didn’t Zi Shan go for the surgery earlier, doesn’t she want to live? But first to divorce, after to make money, there is a little daughter how she went to do the operation?
“The divorce is over, she has a lot of money, find a time to have the surgery done, it’s her own non-procrastination, but also to impose her fault on our mother and child, I’ll be damned!” Hao Shufen is not someone who is afraid to argue, she crossed her arms and glared at Chu Xiang, her spirit was suddenly much stronger.
Because, she had discovered something that was favorable to Li Rongxuan – if Li Zisan really died, but if she died of a heart attack, it would have nothing to do with Li Rongxuan. That’s why she argued so loudly, in order to make this a nail in the coffin, so that she could fight for a way out for her son.
Jiang Tao’s face darkened a bit: ”Zi Shan has been trying so hard to live well, if not for herself then for her five year old daughter, does she really not want to do the surgery? It was she who couldn’t get it done early and could only put it off day by day. Who made it impossible for her to have the surgery early? Who forced her to put it off day by day? Hao Shufen, it’s you!”
“It’s because you, Zixan, have no maternal family, no maternal family to rely on, after the divorce, all alone and unsupported, how dare she go for the surgery! Heart surgery is dangerous, no one can guarantee a 100% success rate, and Zi Shan’s daughter only has her as her mother, how can she leave her little daughter unattended, even if there is only a few points of danger she doesn’t dare to take the risk, because she doesn’t want her daughter to become her Li Zi Shan, and doesn’t want the baby to grow up under her stepmother’s eyes!”
“Just because Zisan has suffered too many blank stares and too many beatings and scoldings from you, she knows too well what kind of bitterness it is for a child to grow up in the hands of her stepmother, therefore, she definitely won’t let her daughter go down the same path as her, and that’s why she’s been dragging it out, dragging it out, dragging it out. If she had the support of her mother’s family, if she had no worries, she would have gone for the operation long ago. You’re the one who forced her to have to drag her sick body to struggle to live, to have to drag her sick body to work hard, yet you still have to claim that the one who killed her was herself.”
“Hao Shufen, don’t think that the only thing that kills people under the sky is knives.” Jiang Tao is really angry, he has never been annoyed by someone so irritated over, step by step walked to Hao Shufen in front of staring at her eyes, although the voice is very light but the words are clear and slow and forceful: “The world’s most advantageous knife is to kill people without blood, I, the lawyer, also have the ability to put you to death.”
Hao Shufen was scared by his gaze and took a few steps back, “Do you think I will be afraid of you? You are a lawyer is great, I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t set any fires, what can you do to me.”
“The lawyer will not only will fight the lawsuit, the lawyer will also write articles,” Jiang Tao stared at her, “The words are the most sharp knife in the whole world, and kill without blood. I just need to take the good things that you and your children have done, bit by bit, and write them into articles, and submit them to the newspaper every issue to become a legal column, what do you think you will face?”
Jiang Tao gritted his teeth, “I can also ask my friend to help rewrite it into a script for a TV series or something, stating that it’s adapted from the facts and specifying my newspaper column – making you known not only in Blue Water City, but also in the whole country. What do you think, how did that turn out?”
“There are many ways to put people to death, and death isn’t the only thing that’s scary.” Looking at Hao Shufen’s eyes as she became frightened, “You don’t you think that you can get what you want just because you’re spilling your guts and you’re being unreasonable, and you don’t think that the good guys are really powerless to fight back. Knife, hey, that really is not worth mentioning know do not know? Now, it’s a legalized society, and as a lawmaker I won’t do anything illegal, this you don’t have to worry about.”
Li Rongqi’s face white to a few traces of transparent, the whole body is cold, the hospital heating seems to reject her like, let her as standing in the cold wind – this is the courteous Jiang Tao? This is still that all day with a smile Jiang Tao? Jiang Tao in front of me is so strange, as if it has become a beast that can swallow her and her mother at any time.
Jiang Tao did not move Hao Shufen a finger, and finally just gently said, “Don’t doubt that I will not do that, and don’t doubt that I can do it or not.” After saying this, he turned around and walked back to his chair to sit down and looked towards the operating room again. As for Hao Shufen’s mother and daughter, now was not the time to look for them to settle the score.
Chu Xiang and Xue Jing’s hands together, and did not say anything to Hao Shufen, in fact, the student nutritional food thing is not what they expected, the original is not even thought of things, because a series of things evolved that opportunity to, Zishan and they know should catch.
Zishan and Chuxiang wanted to show their value after they became self-reliant, which was extremely important to both of them, and money was something they needed – children’s schooling, marriages, etc., would they still count on their ex-husband? They believe they can raise their children well, and they absolutely must raise them well.
That’s why that opportunity was too good for them to pass up, and after taking on that challenge, there was no way that Zi Shan would have time to go back to the surgery – if just one bad link went wrong and something happened, then her career and her future with her child would be all but ruined. Under this pressure, coupled with the fear of a failed surgery, Zi Shan had put off making arrangements until now.
But Zi Shan has never mentioned it to anyone, not even Xue Jing or Chu Xiang – she is afraid of the operation, afraid that if she gets on the operating table and can’t get off, the baby will have no one to rely on, and she is also afraid that if her career fails, she and the baby will have no place to stand.
Chu Xiang and Xue Jing could guess some of her thoughts, such as worrying about nutritional food, but did not know that she was afraid of surgery, in their eyes, Zi Shan is so strong and capable, how could she be afraid?
If Zishan had heard Jiang Tao’s words, she would have been extremely surprised, because she thought that no one knew about her deepest fears and worries, and she was desperately busy, desperately grasping for something – such as more money to save up, such as a little more successful in her career – to be able to have a little more money to save up. It’s really just so she can feel a little more secure.
She was afraid that the baby would be alone, just like when she was little and didn’t have her mom to keep her company.
Chu Xiang and Xiao Jing looked at Jiang Tao, suddenly they had a strange feeling – some words should be said by Lin Hao, how could they be said by Jiang Tao, who was smiling and had no proper form? Jiang Tao is a really good person, a righteous friend, actually has such a delicate side.
Shen Yang, however, looked deeply at Jiang Tao, something in his gaze but did not say it, just as Shen Yi Yi pushed the door open again, Shen Yang’s cell phone rang – the expert he had hired had arrived and was already outside the hospital.
