Tang Yu's comforting words instantly made Song Zhixing's unhappiness that had been accumulating in his heart along the way disappear.
She held Tang Yu's hand and said, "I'm not afraid. Besides, your mother and I will always meet. And... didn't we just get married? I feel very lost when I see you are so worried and I can't do anything for you. It's like I'm useless."
Song Zhixing felt a little uncomfortable at the end of her speech. Her eyes wandered for a while, then she met his gaze. She looked aggrieved, with her mouth puffed up.
Well, is it too early for her to step into the role of wife? She just wants to be a sensible wife and share his worries with him.
After hearing this, Tang Yu's melancholy disappeared a lot, and there was a bit of teasing in his eyes, "Mrs. Tang, don't be too anxious about meeting your parents-in-law. When the time is right, I have arranged everything."
"Who's in a hurry?" She retorted in an embarrassed voice, but it was completely unconvincing.
"When my mom's condition gets a little better, I will definitely take you to meet them. And... you have already done everything you can for me." Tang Yu's eyes were full of affection, and his thumb gently stroked her little face with pity and emotion. "Marrying me despite everyone's opposition and standing in front of the media and saying those words loudly is the best thing you have ever done for me."
He never asked for much from her, just her firmness and courage.
However, Song Zhixing still wanted to be with him when he was sad, at least to understand his sadness and share his sadness.
However, Song Zhixing did not say any more. He just watched Tang Yu get into the car and leave the villa.

When Tang Yu arrived at the hospital, Su Fengjin was lying on the bed. Her hair, which was always carefully tied up, was now messy and she looked miserable. Her face was pale and bloodless. She was sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed, but her fists on the quilt were still clenched tightly. It was obvious that she was very nervous, and her facial lines were tense and her face was full of pain.
Tang Yiming sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife on the hospital bed with a worried look on his face.
When she saw her son arriving, she raised her eyes slightly, her eyes dull.
"Dad." Tang Yu greeted him. His gaze finally fell on Su Fengjin, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Let's talk outside." Tang Yiming stood up, kissed his wife on the face, and went out first. Tang Yu also kissed his mother on the face, and followed her out. He closed the door of the ward and sat in the hall.
"Your mother had a mental breakdown. The doctor just gave her a sedative and she fell asleep." Tang Yiming said in a heavy tone, "I have contacted Dr. Michel. In a few days, when the situation gets better, I will send your mother back for treatment again."
"She knows about me and Xingxing?"
"Early this morning, I received a CD that was sent to your mother. It turned out to be a video of you and Xingxing. She mistook Xingxing for... Li Hui." When mentioning the last two words, Tang Yiming's voice trembled slightly, revealing all kinds of complicated emotions.
"CD?" Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, his face cold, "It seems that Li Qiming wants to completely break off relations with our Tang family."
"You mean... this was made by Xingxing's grandfather?"
"Except for him, there will be no other person. For so many years, the Li family has been controlled by the Tang family and relied on the Tang family to survive. Now there is a chance to cooperate with the Chi family and leave our Tang family aside. I am afraid he has been planning it for a long time." He also planned to include his only granddaughter Xingxing! The poor silly girl still treated him as a family member.
Tang Yiming sighed, his expression heavy and full of regret, "I owed Li Hui first, all of this was caused by me... Li Qiming is doing these things now, I just hope it's revenge on me, not to hurt Feng Jin. Over the years, your mother has suffered enough pain and torture."
"Xingxing and I are already married." Tang Yu said suddenly.
Tang Yiming raised his eyes and looked at him. He knew his son's character, so he thought everything was expected and said nothing. Since they were already married, there was no point in saying anything.
"No... I'm going to kill you... Get out of here!"
At this moment, a sharp and hysterical voice suddenly exploded from the ward. After Tang Yu and Tang Yiming looked at each other, they stood up almost at the same time and rushed into the ward.

Song Zhixing waited for Tang Yu at home, but he didn't come back until the evening. She lay on the big bed in his room. Maybe because of the time difference, she didn't feel sleepy until late at night when all the servants went to bed. Finally, she simply got up from the bed and turned on the TV to watch.
She was bored and didn't know how long she had been watching. When she heard the roar of a car outside, she suddenly became energetic, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and ran to the window barefoot. Sure enough, two strong beams of light shone from far to near and stopped at the villa.
When Tang Yu pushed the door open and walked in, the whole room lit up instantly.
"You're back." Song Zhixing's voice sounded upstairs with the laziness of the evening. He took off his tie and looked up at her. She was standing on the stairs in her pajamas, her feet still bare, and was about to come down.
"Put on your shoes first." Tang Yu's tone was a little tired, but he felt much better after seeing her. He walked upstairs.
When Song Zhixing saw him coming up, he went back to his room and put on his slippers.
"Did you just come back from the hospital?" Song Zhixing asked him.
"Yeah. I came back after watching my mom fall asleep."
Song Zhixing took his pajamas out of the locker room and said, "Then go take a shower first."
Tang Yu looked at her, then at the pajamas she was holding, his gaze deepened. Song Zhixing felt embarrassed by his gaze, and handed the pajamas to him, "Stop looking at it, go take a shower! By the way, did you have dinner in the hospital?"
"I ate very little and don't have much appetite." Tang Yu hugged her, as if all his tiredness disappeared. He took her pajamas and walked to the bathroom, while replying to her, "Why are you still awake so late?"
"I'm worried about your situation." Song Zhixing lay at the bathroom door, "How is your mother now?"
Tang Yu stood in the bathroom, unbuttoning his shirt elegantly. When he heard her question, his expression dimmed a little, and after a while he replied in a low voice, "I'm quite emotional. I'll have to go back to the original doctor for treatment again after a while."
"…Oh." Song Zhixing nodded, "Then why did it suddenly become like this? Wasn't there anything wrong with your mood before?"
Tang Yu looked at her innocent little face with complicated eyes. Finally, he just smiled and said, "Do you want to come in and take a shower with me?"
