Chapter 767: Birthday Banquet is Coming
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Welcome back."
In fact, with Xiao Beiqi's temper, he would never see the person he drove away again in this life.
But the situation is special now, and we have to admit that Sister Dou's cooking skills are much better than Tang's mother's. Tang's mother has to help take care of the children and cook, and she can't do it all by herself.
With two more people suddenly in the house, everything became orderly all of a sudden, and Tang Zheng rarely heard the child crying.
These days, in addition to listening to the radio, Tang Zheng occasionally reads the newspaper.
When she learned that Miss Wang had been in a car accident and her appearance was completely destroyed, she was a little surprised and a little regretful. After all, Miss Wang's face was considered one of the most beautiful in Beijing.
That night, Tang Zheng leaned in Xiao Beiqi's arms and pointed at the report on TV: "Isn't it a bit strange? Logically, there aren't many cars on the road, and she wasn't speeding, so how could such a serious car accident happen?"
Xiao Beiqi was silent for a moment, then said: "You slept and gave birth to three children. Isn't that strange?"
Tang Zheng blinked, not knowing how Xiao Beiqi could use this to evade her, but when he thought about it carefully, he actually felt that it made sense.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the first birthday party for the three children.
Before this, Song Yuan, Xiao Ma, Dai Manqi and others had come to visit Tang Zheng one after another. Although they had a good relationship, except for Dai Manqi, Song Yuan and Xiao Ma did not have time to attend the one-year-old birthday party.
Song Yuan and Xiao Ma are both pregnant, and both have work and other things to do.
Dai Manqi was promoted to team leader of the newspaper and was extremely busy. If she had some time, she had to date Xiao Ding. This time, she happened to be in Beijing on a business trip, otherwise she would not have had time.
Tang Zheng doesn't like crowds and she had a near-death experience when giving birth, so Xiao Beiqi postponed the wedding banquet on the grounds that Tang Zheng was in poor health and needed to recuperate.
If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine not to hold the wedding banquet, but many dignitaries in Beijing have more or less some connections with Xiao Beiqi and the Ming family.
Everyone knows that although the Ming family has changed Leng Mo as the heir, the one who actually controls everything is still Ming Jue, so this relationship still needs to be maintained, and he will definitely attend the one-year-old birthday party.
"If you ask me, since you didn't have a wedding in the first place, it would be great to hold one together with the first birthday party this time."
Dai Manqi spoke while coaxing the child.
Xiao Beiqi, who went downstairs to get something, heard this and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "How about we hold a party?"
To be honest, the fact that the two of them have not yet held a grand and lively wedding has always been a regret in Xiao Beiqi's heart.
Tang Zheng was feeding his youngest daughter Nuan Nuan with egg custard. She looked up at Xiao Beiqi and said calmly, "Forget it. We have so many children and we all have jobs. We are too busy to handle it. After thirty or fifty years, if we are still together, let's hold a golden or silver wedding anniversary celebration."
Now they are an old couple, and they no longer have the youthfulness and expectations they had in the past. Tang Zheng only feels troubled.
Xiao Beiqi felt a little disappointed and his face didn't look very good.
Tang Zheng's eyes fell on Dai Manqi: "But you, your job is stable now, you should consider marriage, will you stay with Xiao Ding or Chen Ziliang..."
Dai Manqi blushed a little: "What are you talking about? Xiao Ding and I have a good relationship."
Tang Zheng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Really? When are you getting married?"
Ever since she became pregnant, Tang Zheng had no time to take care of the two of them. Now, hearing Dai Manqi say that the two of them have a good relationship, he was very happy.
Dai Manqi lowered her head: "How can I have the nerve to speak up about this matter?"
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Tang Zheng's eyes, and he thought about calling Xiao Ding to ask for his opinion.
"I, I'm actually quite nervous. If it's like what happened to Jiaojiao and Gu Fan, then I..."
When it comes to these two, Tang Zheng is also worried. She sighed: "If I had known this, I would not have interfered with their affairs in the first place."
Clearly, they had broken up at the beginning, but she was soft-hearted and helped Gu Fan to get the girl back. Unexpectedly, she ended up hurting both of them.
The two divorced, and Xiang Jiaojiao became pregnant again. They thought that after having the child, the two would reconcile, but unexpectedly, Xiang Jiaojiao beat the child, and the two eventually went their separate ways.
Dai Manqi immediately said, "What does this have to do with you? After all, you had good intentions at the beginning."
Tang Zheng was somewhat helpless: "Since Xiang Jiaojiao graduated, she has gone to work in another place. We haven't been in touch for more than half a year. I don't know if she is doing well or if she needs any help."
Dai Manqi held her chin up and said, "I'm worried about her too. Doesn't she have a cousin? Have you contacted him? Otherwise, ask him how he is doing?"
"Xiang Huayan?" Tang Zheng felt a headache when he mentioned this person. This guy is not a good person. If you ask him for help, he might even try to cheat you.
"Okay, I'll ask then."
However, Tang Zheng was really worried about Xiang Jiaojiao's safety, so he had no choice but to risk being cheated and called Xiang Huayan. Unexpectedly, he received an unexpected news.
"Where?"
Tang Zheng packed up his things and left, and Xiao Beiqi just came back from outside.
Tang Zheng: "Let's go to the hospital."
Xiao Beiqi immediately grabbed Tang Zheng's wrist with a serious look on his face: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
During this year, Xiao Beiqi felt that Tang Zheng was not normal. To put it mildly, he was distancing himself from him.
To put it bluntly, it's her sexual desire that has decreased. Every time he gets close to her, this girl makes all kinds of excuses to avoid him, saying she's tired, sick, or she just sleeps with the children.
Xiao Beiqi was about to collapse. They had been married for less than two years, and their life had become like this. If it lasted for ten or eight years, how could he endure it?
During this period, Xiao Beiqi racked his brains to find an excuse to take Tang Zheng for a check-up, but the results showed nothing.
He couldn't say too much. If this girl knew the truth, she would probably have a fight with him. He didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Xiao Beiqi felt that his hair was turning white. Could it be that this girl had someone else in her heart and didn't like him anymore, so she was avoiding him in that aspect?
Tang Zheng had no idea what Xiao Beiqi was thinking. She shook her head seriously, "It's not me. Xiang Jiaojiao is in the hospital."
When Tang Zheng and Dai Manqi arrived, Xiang Jiaojiao was pacing in the corridor holding a three or four month old baby. The baby was crying heartbreakingly and Xiang Jiaojiao looked exhausted.
"Jiaojiao!" Dai Manqi screamed in surprise when she saw someone.
When Xiang Jiaojiao saw Tang Zheng and Dai Manqi, she was stunned and her eyes were full of panic.
"Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?" Tang Zheng reached out and took the child from Xiang Jiaojiao's arms, then coaxed him carefully.
Xiang Jiaojiao sat tiredly on the bench in the corridor and smiled bitterly: "I am reaping the consequences of my own actions. I don't want to bother you all the time."
"What are you talking about?" Dai Manqi's eyes turned red with distress: "This is Gu Fan's child after all. Why should you suffer alone while he is like nothing happened?"
Xiang Jiaojiao was a little annoyed: "I have divorced him, and I no longer have any feelings for him. This is my own child and has nothing to do with him."
Tang Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't know why Xiang Jiaojiao became so extreme. He always felt that something was wrong.
"What's the child's condition now? Is it serious?"
When Tang Zheng first heard Xiang Huayan say that Xiang Jiaojiao was in Beijing with her child, she didn't believe it, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Xiang Jiaojiao suddenly felt helpless: "The doctor said that he suspected it was leukemia, but he couldn't be completely sure yet. He had to stay in the hospital for observation."
Tang Zheng looked at the busy hospital, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, why don't you go to my place first and wait until it's confirmed."
Xiang Jiaojiao hesitated: "Forget it, you have three children at home, you are too busy to take care of them, I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"What's the trouble? I have someone to help me at home. Just pack up and go."
When Xiao Beiqi saw Xiang Jiaojiao coming with the child, he was not too surprised. When Tang Zheng went to the hospital, he already knew about Xiang Jiaojiao's condition.
"Oh, what's wrong with this little kid? Is he sick?" Sister Dou was mopping the floor and saw that the child in Xiang Jiaojiao's arms looked listless, so she asked.
Xiang Jiaojiao forced a smile: "I'm sick."
Sister Dou glanced at Tang Zheng, then said to Xiang Jiaojiao: "You are exhausted, otherwise I can help take care of you."
She lowered her head to Jiaojiao, holding back the tears in her eyes, and nodded.
Ever since the child was born, she had been taking care of him almost alone and was almost on the verge of collapse. Now that someone had finally helped her, she could finally take a breath.
"You must not have eaten or slept well these past few days. Go take a shower first and I'll make you something to eat."
Xiang Jiaojiao glanced at Xiao Beiqi, a little embarrassed: "Well, should I stay in the bungalow at the back?"
