Wu Xiu’s face turned pale for a moment, and she tightened her hold on Tan Li’s arm, “Da Li, Mom has never thought about…”
”Wife!” Tan Pei interrupted Wu Xiu in time.
Wu Xiu’s lips trembled and she looked at Tan Pei helplessly.
Tan Li quickly glanced at the three people with strange expressions, and her back instantly tensed up. The lazy temperament on her body disappeared instantly, and the air was filled with a tense feeling ready to explode…
Just a moment.
Before Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman could react, Tan Pei felt tiny goose bumps crawling up his arms, and the knife-like air suddenly relaxed.
Tan Li leaned on the stair railing as if she had no bones, her eyes fixed on the carvings on the railing.
[Wow, this flower carving is very beautiful. ]
Whatever the three members of the Tan family think, it’s none of her business. She needs to get rid of this bad habit of seeing enemies everywhere.
Tan Li glanced at the skirt she was wearing and said “tsk” in her heart. This fluffy gauze skirt was too good for her. Next time she should wear one that doesn’t allow her to move her legs wide. A fishtail skirt feels good, and the high heels should be two or three centimeters higher.
Thinking about it, Tan Li said bluntly, “Mom, didn’t you say we were going to buy a skirt? Should we leave now?”
Wu Xiu dazedly withdrew her gaze from the stair railing and was about to agree –
”No hurry.” Tan Pei interrupted her and smiled like a loving father. “I have arranged a physical examination for our family this afternoon. Let’s go shopping after the physical examination.”
Wu Xiu gave Tan Pei a strange look.
Physical examination?
These two words went around in Tan Li’s mind, and she said indifferently, “Okay, but I have to change my clothes first.”
Indeed, Tan Li’s dress is not suitable for a physical examination in any way.
Thinking of this, not only Tan Li, but also the three members of the Tan family changed into loose and light clothes.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, when Tan Li came out, she had changed out of her blue-gray dress and into a more inconvenient palace-style tight black floor-length fishtail dress. She wore a long pearl necklace with three circles around her neck, and she walked towards the crowd in a graceful manner, swaying with every step.
”Okay, let’s go.”
Tan Li originally wanted to change her hairstyle and manicure, but since it was the first family activity, she decided to restrain herself and cooperate with others for the sake of the seven-digit pocket money.
Love and peace in her heart, she is such a good person.
Tan Pei’s eyes twitched, and just as he was about to speak, he was held down by Wu Xiu. She glared at Tan Pei, as if to say, as long as her daughter is happy, don’t worry about what clothes the girl wears.
Tan Pei resisted the urge to preach.
Whose little girl changed 3 sets of clothes in one day, and they were all dresses? What kind of education did his biological daughter receive? Did she wear dresses as casual clothes as soon as she found out that her family had money?
Tan Li didn’t care about Tan Pei’s dark face. In order to go out, she changed into a pair of 13-inch high heels with a sense of ceremony. She had spent all her attention on walking properly in these high heels.
**
After the group arrived at the private hospital owned by the Tan family, they took the special VVIP channel.
Tan Li took a special channel among special channels. In simple terms, she parted ways with the three members of the Tan family and underwent a series of physical examinations alone.
Tan Pei’s explanation for this is:
”We have had regular physical examinations over the years. This time, we only need to check a few key items. Dali, you just came back, so you should still go for a comprehensive physical examination so that your parents can rest assured.”
Tan Li didn’t care, “Okay.”
First of all, she wasn’t the kind of girl who needed someone to accompany her for a physical examination. Secondly…
Those abilities that are not within the scope of human beings have long been lost. Even if they are still there, the hospital machines probably can’t detect them.
The hospital arranged a personal nurse for Tan Li. When the nurse with a friendly smile saw Tan Li’s outfit, which looked like she was going to attend a fashion week, even though she was well-trained, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
There are many VIP customers who dress up for physical examinations, but it is rare to see someone as grand as Tan Li.
”Hello, Miss Tan. Shall I take you to change into a light examination suit?”
Tan Li, who had always been very calm, frowned slightly when she heard this, “Do I have to change it?”
The nurse was stunned. “This… Is this not inconvenient for you?”
Tan Li: “No, it’s very convenient for me this way.”
The nurse said with difficulty, “But… your clothes have metal zippers, which makes some items difficult to do.”
Tan Li waved her hand and said, “Then we won’t do those projects.”
The nurse wanted to persuade her, but Tan Li gave her a look and said, “I said, I don’t want to change clothes.”
For a moment, the nurse felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and as if her entire body was bound by cold chains. She could not move, and even could not make a sound.
Tan Li blinked, and the strange feeling of suffocation receded like the tide.
She suddenly remembered that she was a person of love and peace, and said kindly, “It’s okay. It’s not a problem with your work ability. I will talk to your superiors.”
The nurse trembled and raised her lips with difficulty, “Okay, okay, this way, please.”
Tan Li didn’t care about the nurse’s trembling voice and calves, and lazily followed her through the physical examination items one by one.
The nurse originally thought that Tan Li was an extremely difficult client to deal with, but as she went along, she discovered that she had only been tough at the beginning on the issue of whether or not to change clothes. She had been very cooperative in the subsequent physical examination subjects.
Although she doesn’t smile much, her face is always peaceful.
While Tan Li was having a physical examination, on the other side——
Wu Xiu: “Can you tell me why we suddenly arranged a physical examination? Didn’t we just have a physical examination not long ago? Besides, how can a physical examination be done in the afternoon?”
Facing Wu Xiu who had turned into a curious baby, Tan Pei pulled her to sit on the sofa and asked, “Did you hear Dali talking just now?”
Wu Xiu hit his chest and said, “Of course I heard it. Dali and I talked a lot! You too, husband. Dali finally came back. You should talk to her more so that you can get closer to her…”
”What I mean is…” Tan Pei looked at Wu Xiu deeply, “We heard what Dali was thinking.”
Wu Xiu subconsciously covered her mouth, “Isn’t that an illusion because I didn’t get enough rest?”
Tan Pei tapped her nose and said, “You are healthy, how could you have hallucinations? Bah bah bah.”
Wu Xiu blushed slightly and pushed Tan Pei coquettishly, “The child is still here.”
Tan Xinman, who had been standing aside, quickly covered her eyes and said, “I didn’t see anything, you guys continue!”
Seeing her like this, Wu Xiu couldn’t help but laugh.
But halfway through her laughter, she seemed to remember something, her eyes turned red, “Manman, what mom did just now…will you blame mom?”
Tan Xinman paused for a moment as she covered her eyes with her hands, then slowly shook her head, “No.”
”I know, Mom. It’s me and…” She opened her mouth, as if she didn’t want to mention that person. “I’m sorry, I took away everything that belonged to her. If she wants, I will leave and give it all back to her.”
She put her hand down, her eyes slightly red.
Wu Xiu resisted the urge to hug Tan Xinman for comfort and turned her head away. “I’m sorry, Xinman. Dali has been alone all these years. Mom doesn’t want her to feel that even if she finds her family, she is still the one who is not valued.”
Tan Xinman lowered her head, “…I understand.”
Seeing that both mother and daughter looked like they were about to cry, Tan Pei felt distressed and helpless. Suddenly, Tan Pei remembered what Tan Li said –
[Both mother and daughter are crybabies. It must be hard for the old man.]
Tan Pei’s expression became serious. “I don’t think Dali is a petty person. Didn’t she also say that we should let Manman continue to live at home, and we can just treat it as if we have two daughters.”
”The question now is, have we all heard what that child has to say?”
Speaking of business, Tan Xinman suppressed the tears in her eyes. She thought carefully and said, “I am sure that she did not open her mouth at that time, but I heard her voice.”
Tan Pei looked at Wu Xiu tenderly, “What about you? Did you also hear what Dali said?”
Wu Xiu was still a little confused, “I… I don’t know.”
Tan Pei took her into his arms and patted her shoulder gently. “Well, let’s check what everyone heard the child say. Then I will arrange for a psychiatrist to check us all and see if it’s our problem.”
”If the hospital can’t find out, then…”
Wu Xiu looked up, her eyes full of trust, “Then?”
Tan Pei said gently, “That’s okay. We are all a family. Maybe God saw that we have been separated for too long and wanted us to get to know each other faster, so he opened this window for us so that we can hear the child’s voice.”
Wu Xiu’s eyes lit up, “That’s right, it must be like this! Dali didn’t grow up with us, and she came back so suddenly that she might be too embarrassed to tell us what’s in her heart. It must be that God couldn’t bear it, so he let us know what Dali was thinking.”
”That’s great! From now on, we know what Dali wants. How great!”
Wu Xiu clasped her hands together and muttered to God about her gratitude, while Tan Pei and Tan Xinman looked at each other secretly, with each of them having a solemn look in their eyes.
Tan Pei looked at his wife’s happy face and hid his true thoughts.
Now in Wu Xiu’s heart, even he as a husband is not as good as Tan Li, the daughter who was lost and found again. If he really did this, he would probably hurt his wife’s heart.
Tan Pei may not care about Tan Li, his daughter with whom he had hardly ever gotten along, but he cannot ignore the thoughts of his beloved wife.
The three members of the Tan family were still discussing with different mindsets how to treat Tan Li in the future. As for Tan Li herself, whose mind was read, she was now preparing to go to the rooftop of the hospital.
This story begins when she just had a physical examination.
As a family member of the hospital owner, and with Tan Pei’s specific instructions, Tan Li’s physical examination could be considered a private experience.
Tan Li: “There aren’t many customers[1]patients in this hospital?”
Can it make money?
The nurse smiled and replied, “According to the chairman’s order, several floors related to physical examinations have been cleared and are only for your service.”
”Oh?” Tan Li glanced at the black figure in front of the elevator, “What about him?”
The nurse was startled, and followed Tan Li’s line of sight –
A man in a wheelchair entered the elevator to the top floor. The second before the elevator closed, the nurse saw the man’s face.
