Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace

Chapter 976 - 206: Journey 6

On the fifth night, Tang Yige received a message from Tang Yuwen telling her that Zhou Xueran... had woken up.

Tang Yige was overjoyed and immediately took a flight from Mexico to the United States that night, then transferred to Z City.

When Tang Yige and Si Nan arrived in Z City, it was already evening.

Without bothering to return to Jinxiu Huadu, she informed Zhang Lan by phone that they had returned.

Then they headed straight to the hospital.

Si Nan and Tang Yige rushed to the hospital, where Tang Yige immediately called Tang Yuwen to ask for Zhou Xueran’s room number.

Tang Yuwen answered the phone but told Yige to go to the ICU.

Tang Yige was puzzled, wondering why Zhou Xueran was still in the ICU if she had woken up; shouldn’t she have been moved to a regular ward?

Tang Yuwen was evasive, telling her to go to the ICU first.

So, Tang Yige and Si Nan went to the ICU.

...

Outside the ICU.

Tang Ruan and Tang Yuwen were both there.

Tang Yige instinctively frowned, standing at the window and looking at Zhou Xueran inside the ICU.

Seeing her still in a deep coma, completely unlike someone who had woken up.

Tang Yige clenched her fist, looking at Tang Yuwen.

Tang Yuwen met Tang Yige’s gaze confidently and said, "Don’t look at me like that. When I informed you, the doctor did say your mother showed signs of waking up. It’s just that she didn’t actually wake up afterward."

Tang Yige didn’t want to speak to him, and stepped forward to hold Si Nan’s hand, intending to leave the ICU and find the attending doctor.

"Tang Yige, as a daughter, you went abroad to enjoy yourself while your mother was seriously injured and not recovered. What a filial daughter you are!" Tang Yuwen sneered at Tang Yige.

"So what?"

Tang Yige tightened her grip on Si Nan’s hand and looked back at Tang Yuwen, "Should I be crying my eyes out every day, so devastated that I can’t take care of myself? Is that what’s expected of a filial daughter?"

"I just know that at the very least, it wouldn’t be in the mood for a trip abroad." Tang Yuwen squinted, his tone sarcastic and resentful.

"I already went abroad, but now I’m not abroad anymore. What’s the point of saying this?" Tang Yige frowned.

Tang Yuwen glanced at Si Nan, who was standing protectively behind Tang Yige, a quick flash of coldness in his eyes, and stared at Tang Yige, saying, "You’ve made it, you’ve got someone to support you. Someone who provides for you, gives you a place to stay, even gave you the law firm. You, Tang Yige, must feel very proud and satisfied. But don’t forget, the person who gave birth to you is still lying in the ICU. Think more about that person while you’re enjoying yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Si Nan’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he grabbed Tang Yige’s hand to pull her behind him.

But Tang Yige used her other hand to hold his, stepped forward, and positioned herself in front of him.

Si Nan pursed his thin lips, looking at Tang Yige with pain.

Tang Ruan stood silently behind Tang Yuwen, but watched every move of Si Nan protecting Tang Yige with eyes full of jealousy and anger.

However, her face showed no emotion, and she even tried to hide herself.

"Of course I won’t forget the person who gave birth to me. You can rest assured about that. But also remember, now, I only remember her, care about her!"

Tang Yige’s expression was calm, her voice clear and decisive.

Tang Yuwen felt a shock in his heart, his pupils enlarged as he stared forcefully at Tang Yige.

No matter how hard he stared into her eyes, he could only see one message.

She, Tang Yige, cares about Zhou Xueran, but she will no longer care about him as her father.

Her words had a clear sense of breaking ties.

Tang Yuwen took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a huge sense of panic in his chest, "Yige..."

But as soon as Tang Yuwen spoke, Tang Yige pulled Si Nan and quickly turned to leave.

Tang Yuwen instinctively chased two steps, his old face marked by panic, his whole thin body slightly trembling.

Tang Ruan looked maliciously at the figures of Tang Yige and Si Nan disappearing around the corner, with a mocking smirk on her lips.

Squinting, she looked at the slight tremor in Tang Yuwen’s back.

Tang Ruan’s eyelids moved slightly as she stepped forward toward Tang Yuwen.

She gently held Tang Yuwen’s arm, gazing at him with warmth and concern, "Dad, are you alright?"

Tang Yuwen closed his eyes, shook his head with a hint of depression, "Your sister, this time, I’m afraid she really won’t care about me anymore."

Tang Ruan’s eyes flickered briefly, looking firmly at Tang Yuwen, "Dad, don’t worry too much. You know her, she is tough on the outside but soft-hearted, she won’t really disregard you. Blood ties are stronger than blood itself, they can’t just be severed like that. Besides, you still have me. I will always be filial to you, and take care of you."

Tang Yuwen glanced at Tang Ruan, sighed, and patted her hand, "You’re the filial one, unlike your sister... Well, forget it, let’s not talk about her."

"Hmm."

Tang Ruan nodded obediently, her eyelashes gently lowered.

...

Tang Yige originally wanted to inquire about Zhou Xueran’s condition from the attending doctor, but forgot that he was already off duty at that time.

Fortunately, Rong Sinan reminded her, so she didn’t waste a trip.

From Mexico to the United States for a transfer, then back to Z City, plus the waiting time, nearly twenty hours.

Just arrived in Z City, hurried to the hospital, Tang Yige was physically and mentally exhausted.

Out of the hospital, she got into a taxi.

Tang Yige leaned weakly against the back of the seat, her eyelids heavy as she silently watched the scenery outside the window.

One must admit.

The accusations by Tang Yuwen in the hospital earlier had indeed pierced Tang Yige’s heart.

Indeed.

Her biological mother severely injured and unconscious, yet as a daughter, she went abroad for a vacation. Truly unfilial!

Tang Yige’s eyes welled up with tears as she opened her lips, continually breathing, restraining the swelling of negative emotions inside.

The hand held in someone else’s palm suddenly loosened.

Tang Yige’s eyelashes flickered lightly, suddenly, with the hand being released, her fingers spread open and his distinct fingers intertwined with hers, tightly interlocking with her five fingers.

Tang Yige’s nose tingled with sourness, without turning to look at him, she leaned her shoulder over onto his.

Rong Sinan also didn’t utter a sound, softening his shoulder, offering her support.

He knew what was upsetting her.

Upon learning Zhou Xueran woke up, she was overjoyed, resisting even his suggestion to return early the next morning.

Yet, filled with joy as she rushed to the hospital, she discovered Zhou Xueran remained in the intensive care unit, not awake at all.

Her mood plummeted from the clouds directly into the abyss.

Moreover, she faced unwarranted accusations from Tang Yuwen.

And the young girl just absorbed it into her heart.

In such circumstances, how could her mood be good?

Those words from Tang Yuwen were already unreasonable and vexatious.

If taking his view, however unlikely, should Zhou Xueran never wake up again, should Tang Yige never allow herself to be happy?

As a biological father.

Being incapable of seeing his daughter live comfortably and smoothly, such mindset is extremely twisted.

These words are just to be listened to casually, if taken seriously, isn’t it just inviting pain upon oneself?!

Rong Sinan sighed gently in his heart, reached out past Yige, grasping her shoulder, gently kneading it, "Silly."

Tang Yige obediently pursed her lips slightly as tears swirled in her eyes but never fell.

...

The first to welcome Tang Yige and Rong Sinan back was Rong Rui.

The two returned to Jinxiu Huadu, already in the deep night.

The little one, always regular in his routine, had been waiting in agony for their return.

Upon arriving home.

The soft little one immediately jumped into Yige’s arms, his plump arms tightly hugging her neck, kissing her face, softly complaining at her ear, "Little Gege, you left for so many days, I thought you didn’t want me anymore."

Tang Yige’s sorrowful and downhearted heart was instantly warmed and healed by a single sentence, a hug, and a kiss from the little one.

Holding the little one, she walked to the living room sofa to sit down, let him sit on her lap, affectionately kissing his little face, "How could I not want you? You are my treasure, I’ll hold on to you forever."

Rong Rui seemed very satisfied with Yige’s answer.

Tang Yige indulged him, gently stroking his little head, "It’s late, how about going to rest in your room?"

Rong Rui peered out his little head from her embrace, his face rosy, looking at her, "If you accompany me, I’ll go."

Tang Yige smiled, without further words, picked him up and headed to his room.

Rong Sinan, "..." felt thoroughly ignored by his own son.

Unwilling to be alone, Rong Sinan followed them as well.
