half thorns, half joy

In fact, Tang Xuan could accept Zhao Suizhi naming the baby. What Tang Xuan worried about was that Zhao Suizhi's desire to control the child would become stronger and stronger.

She wanted to kill Zhao Suizhi's thoughts and plans in the cradle.

The first thing to do is the name.

Even if Zhao Suizhi wants to name the child and register for the child's household registration, it must be agreed by her and Xiao Zihan instead of letting Zhao Suizhi make the decision.

But what Tang Xuan didn't expect was that before she had time to discuss this matter with Xiao Zihan, another major event happened.

Not only Tang Xuan, Xiao Zihan, Zhao Suizhi, no one thought of it.

That is, Xiao Mingyuan died.

The bad news came so suddenly. At that time, the three of them were sitting at the table eating breakfast. While Tang Xuan was eating, she was thinking about the manuscript she was about to finish when the landline at home suddenly rang.

After the nanny ran over to pick it up, she suddenly screamed.

"What are you making such a fuss about?" Zhao Suizhi rolled his eyes at the panic-stricken nanny with a stern expression.

The nanny put down the phone receiver and stumbled to the dining table, "Master...Master, the call from the prison."

"Over there in the prison? What are you talking about?" Xiao Zihan became nervous when he heard the word prison.

"Say...he said..." The nanny trembled, as if frightened.

Zhao Suizhi heard that it was from the prison, and when he thought of Xiao Mingyuan, he also became agitated, and reprimanded the nanny in dissatisfaction, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say! Shaking, why can't you understand a word!"

The nanny swallowed in fear, "Say... Master... Mr. Xiao... died this morning..."

At that moment, the room was silent and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"What did you say?" Zhao Suizhi was the first to react, and she stood up abruptly.The movement was too large and knocked over the milk glass on the table.

"It's true, that person said just now, telling you to go over now and discuss the aftermath." How could the nanny think that she was just answering the phone, and she heard this kind of news, she was almost scared to cry .

Zhao Suizhi closed his eyes and sat down in the chair.

"Mom! Mom, are you okay!" Xiao Zihan got up quickly, stepped forward to support Zhao Suizhi, and pinched Zhao Suizhi desperately.

Zhao Suizhi woke up panting heavily, pointed at the nanny, and ordered intermittently, "That man... did you say anything else?"

The nanny shook her head, "No more, the phone has been hung up."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll make a call now, and make another call to confirm." Xiao Zihan hurriedly took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed the number of the prison guard he was familiar with.

Xiao Zihan supported Zhao Suizhi with one hand and the phone with the other, taking deep breaths quickly, trying to keep himself calm.

The phone rang a few times and got through.

"Hey, what's the situation with my dad?" Xiao Zihan was so anxious that he didn't even need to address him, and asked directly.

When he heard the sigh from the opposite side, Xiao Zihan's heart skipped a beat.

Then, he heard the prison guard say: "Young Master Xiao, please express your condolences."

Xiao Zihan's eyes turned red in an instant.

Seeing Xiao Zihan's reaction, Zhao Suizhi immediately understood what was said on the phone, but she still couldn't believe it, she pulled Xiao Zihan's arm, and kept asking: "It's not true, right, isn't it? Really, your dad is fine, isn't he?"

Xiao Zihan gritted his teeth and pressed the phone to speakerphone.

"...Original inmates should have notified their family members to see each other for the last time before they were critically ill, but Xiao Mingyuan left suddenly last night. It was an emergency and I couldn't notify you. I'm sorry."

"Come here now. We have medical records, previous treatment processes, and surveillance videos. You need to read them all. After reading them, cremate them according to the regulations."

The dull voice of the prison guard echoed throughout the villa. Except for the voice of the prison guard, no one else made a sound at all, even holding their breath.

Zhao Suizhi's tears rolled down in big ones.

After the prison guard finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Xiao Zihan put away his phone, wiped away the tears from his face, and said to Zhao Suizhi: "Mom, let's go there together and see Dad for the last time."

However, Zhao Suizhi suddenly patted the table and stood up, shouting at Xiao Zihan: "How is this possible? Over there, it is clearly stated that your father's condition is under control and has stabilized. How could it be possible that he suddenly became ill! There must be something in it. It's tricky! Someone must be hurting him!"

"..." Xiao Zihan closed his eyes, listening to Zhao Suizhi's scolding.

Zhao Suizhi was not the only one who felt uncomfortable when Xiao Mingyuan passed away suddenly, Xiao Zihan felt equally uncomfortable.

It's just that Xiao Zihan won't attack others.

After hearing Zhao Suizhi's yelling, Xiao Zihan said slowly: "Mom, no matter whether there is something tricky or not, we have to go and have a look first. Didn't the prison guard just say that there are medical records and surveillance videos? Let's go and have a look first. Let's talk about it after reading it, okay?"

"Surveillance video? Will they show you the problematic things? If they dare to show you, they must have been dealt with!"

Seeing his mother on the verge of collapse and losing her mind, Xiao Zihan couldn't persuade her anymore.

He lowered his face and said coldly: "Then it's fine if you don't want to go, I will go by myself. Dad's body is still over there, and you didn't even look at him for the last time, and you just kept arguing here, and you are arguing alone. Well, I'm ready to go."

After Xiao Zihan finished speaking, he really let go of Zhao Suizhi, picked up the phone, arranged for the nanny to bring him a change of clothes, and asked the driver to wait at the door.

Zhao Suizhi stared at Xiao Zihan's arrangement in astonishment, and when Xiao Zihan changed into a black suit and went out, he hurriedly got up and followed.

When she ran to the door, she looked down again at the white coat she was wearing, felt something was wrong, and went back upstairs to change.

It is really inappropriate to wear white clothes to collect the remains.

Hastily changing into a black suit, Zhao Suizhi also went out.

Suddenly, the villa became quiet again.

From the beginning to the end, Tang Xuan didn't say a word. She watched everyone in the room flustered, restless, and sad. She sat there quietly like an outsider.

Tang Xuan stared blankly at a spot in the air, and she belatedly realized that Xiao Mingyuan was dead.

The culprit who killed her cousin actually died.

Cai Lin couldn't help thinking about the scene when she first met Xiao Mingyuan.

It was two years ago, when Xiao Mingyuan was aloof, he asked her to go to the office and lectured her condescendingly.Seemingly amiable, in fact, he looked down on her at all.

At that time, facing Xiao Mingyuan, she needed a lot of effort to make herself look harmless and natural.

At that time, her and Xiao Mingyuan's status was one in the sky and the other in the ground.

But who would have thought, not even herself, that just two years later, this business tycoon who once dominated the situation and stirred up the clouds and rains in City A, died in prison just like that, without any dignity.

Tang Xuan gave a short laugh, not gloating, but mocking the impermanence of fate.

Xiao Mingyuan killed her cousin, and she personally sent Xiao Mingyuan to prison, so she and Xiao Mingyuan could never reconcile.

Even if she loves Xiao Zihan deeply, she will never forgive Xiao Mingyuan.

But now, Xiao Mingyuan is dead, he bears those sins, and went to another world just like his cousin.

Those hatreds seemed to disappear suddenly.

Tang Xuan's mood was extremely complicated. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.If it is said that a life is worth a life, then until this moment, the cousin's revenge is the real revenge.

However, she couldn't really be happy.

Instead, she was a little sad.

Indescribably sad.

Tang Xuan got up, went upstairs under the puzzled eyes of the nannies, and changed into a whole set of black clothes.

"Miss Tang, are you going to prison too?" These days, the nannies also knew that the Xiao family had a feud with Tang Xuan, so when they asked, they were uncertain.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "I'm going somewhere else."

"Then... can I call a car for you?" the nanny asked again.

For the time being, there are two drivers in the family, one drove Xiao Zihan away, and the other drove Zhao Suizhi away.

Tang Xuan originally wanted to say that she was going out to stop the car, but she didn't have much strength at the moment. After thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay."

There was a taxi driver's phone in the villa, and the nanny called immediately.

Tang Xuan stood there for a while, then took out her phone and dialed Cai Jinyu's number.

It was quickly picked up over there.

"Jinyu, Zihan's father passed away. He went to prison. Zihan has already passed away. You should go and see too."

Cai Jinyu on the other side of the phone was also shocked by the sad news.

Shocked, he said that he rushed over immediately.

The reason why Tang Xuan thought of notifying Cai Jinyu was because he was worried about Xiao Zihan. He was worried that Zhao Suizhi would go crazy in prison and hurt Xiao Zihan.

"Miss Tang, the taxi will be here later, please take a seat."

"it is good."

As for Tang Xuan herself, she wanted to go to another place.
