Everyone in the Tang family was having dinner, except Qiqi.
He frowned and glared at Tang Youyou, "You lied to me?"
Tang You You felt that she was wronged to death. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Mr. Tang speak dignifiedly: "What's wrong with lying to you? If I didn't lie to you, could you come back today to have dinner with me, an old man? This whole family is here, and you are the only one missing. What does it look like?"
Tang Jue was worried all the way, worried that this group of people would scare Qiqi, so he drove very fast. If she was really scared, the little woman might back off, and his journey to pursue his wife would only become more difficult.
Now that Qiqi is not here, I feel relaxed.
"Grandpa, we can't indulge a bad habit of lying." Tang Jue tapped Tang Youyou on the back of his head, then greeted all the brothers of the Tang family and found a place to sit down.
"We must not allow your bad habit of not coming back to accompany grandpa." Tang Yu, the eldest son of the Tang family, said.
"I'm back, aren't I?" In front of this group of people, Tang Jue was not as lazy as usual, but sat up straight with his body upright.
"I'm not lying. Your Qiqi is really here. If you don't believe me, ask them." Tang Youyou looked around.
Tang Song raised his hand, "Well, I'll testify. I saw her talking to Grandpa for a while on the court. I wanted to invite her to dinner, but she left early."
When Tang Jue heard this, his brows furrowed and he almost put down the chopsticks in his hand and wanted to chase after him.
"It's too late to catch up now!" Mr. Tang said faintly: "He left a long time ago."
Tang Jue held back and sat back. He looked at the old man inquiringly, "Grandpa, what did you say to her?"
The old man only glanced at him, and continued to eat slowly without answering him. Tang Jue knew that he was angry about not coming here today because of work, so he had to be patient and pretend to eat with chopsticks.
Five minutes later, he couldn't help but ask again, "You didn't scare her, did you? She's a good girl, not like those messy girls out there. You totally..."
The old man snorted and cut off his words, "I was very gentle and didn't scare her. I just gave her some suggestions and advice."
"suggestion?"
"advice?"
Tang Jue had a very ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the old man say: "I told her that if she wants to get rid of you, she has to do it as soon as possible. If she doesn't like you, don't drag it out. For someone like you, she has to be decisive."
"!" Tang Jue suddenly lost his appetite completely.
However, the old man was still provoking him, "She was quite sensible and took my words to heart. So, even when I invited her to dinner, she refused to eat. She knows that she needs to sort out her relationship with our Tang family and with you."
Tang Jue put down his chopsticks, got up and left without saying a word.
Mr. Tang pointed at him with his chopsticks in the air, "Look at him. He used to be very smart, but now that he's involved with that girl, he's lost his basic judgment! So I say, you young people have to be rational when you fall in love, otherwise, your IQ is zero."
Tang Song smiled, "Grandpa, I am very rational, and it definitely doesn't affect my IQ."
"How dare you say that! You are just too rational. If you dare to continue to be rational, I'll just find someone to marry you!"
"That won't work. I have so many brothers ahead of me. It's not in accordance with the rules for me to take the lead. Since my eldest brother is already married, it should at least be the second brother's turn now."
Tang Song immediately turned his anger on Tang Yu, the second son of the Tang family. As expected, Mr. Tang glanced over and said, "Second son, how old are you? If you don't get married, do you want to be single for the rest of your life?"
"No hurry, wait until Zhixing is older, then we can talk about marriage." Tang Yu's attitude remained lukewarm, and he didn't even look at the old man while he was talking. He just picked up a few onions and put them in Song Zhixing's bowl, and instructed in the tone of an elder: "Don't be picky, eat well."
Zhixing pouted her lips, and even though she was resentful, she didn't dare to show it at all.
Seeing his attitude, the old man was annoyed, "You keep using the Star as an excuse. When she grows up, I wonder what excuse you will have!"
"Since I promised her parents that I would take good care of her, I naturally have to put her first in everything."
The old man snorted and did not continue the topic.

the other side.
Qiqi went directly to the ophthalmology department.
At this moment, all the doctors in the hospital have gone off work and it is very quiet.
Qiqi relied on her memory and went straight to the professor's office on the third floor.
When she knocked on the door and went in, the intern was tidying up the desk in the office. When he saw her, he just said, "The doctors are off work now. If you have anything to ask, come and see me tomorrow."
"I'm not here to see a doctor. I'm here to see Professor Tian. Excuse me, is Professor Tian still here?" Professor Tian was her attending physician at that time.
"Professor Tian has just..."
"Who's looking for me?"
Before the intern could finish his words, an older female doctor took off her white coat and walked out from behind the curtain while bundling her hair and adjusting her clothes.
"Professor Tian, do you still remember me?" Seeing the other person, Qiqi took a step towards the office with some joy.
Qiqi thought she would not recognize her. After all, so many years had passed, and doctors saw so many patients every day, how many of them could they really remember? However, she did not expect that after taking a look, she immediately recognized her.
"Aren't you the kid from eight years ago? You've grown up!"
"You still remember me?" Qiqi was surprised.
"Of course not! I can't forget it even if I want to!" Professor Tian said, "I remember it very clearly. Every time you came to my ophthalmology department with me, he was a very handsome young man. At that time, he charmed all the doctors and nurses in our department. Those young nurses looked forward to your coming every day!"
When Qiqi mentioned the past, she felt a little pain in her heart. Eight years had passed in the blink of an eye. She still remembered many details of the past. But where was that person eight years ago now? What did he look like? Did they pass by each other in the crowd, but she didn't recognize him
"By the way, where is that young man? Why didn't he come with you today?" Professor Tian pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Qiqi's eyes dimmed, and she smiled, "We... haven't been in touch for many years."
"No contact?" Professor Tian was surprised. "That's a pity. That kid was devoted to you. I still remember that he came to me to consult about live eye removal surgery for you. He also repeatedly told me not to mention this to you."
