Li Qiang laughed, "So you're jealous?"
Tian Yinghui said, "Who's jealous? You're not my boyfriend, so why should I be jealous?"
Li Qiang chuckled, "Forget about your boyfriend. You can even make me your husband if you want me to."
Tian Yinghui said, "Stop talking nonsense. You have a wife, so why are you spouting nonsense? Is it really appropriate?"
Li Qiang said, "I told you before that those are just rumors. Don't believe me."
Tian Yinghui said, "Do you dare to say that those are all rumors? Not a single one of them is true?"
Li Qiang chuckled and said, "I will explain those things to you, but you don't need to believe me right now."
Tian Yinghui said, "That's what dregs say, and so is you. I don't believe you."
Li Qiang said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Let's go see Teacher Huang first. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Tian Yinghui said, "She's in the ward on the 12th floor. Let's go up."
The two of them arrived at the 12th floor of the hospital. They pushed open the door to the ward, but there was no one on the bed, only a girl sitting on the seat beside them.
But Li Qiang knew her, and she was Shan Shan. Since her stepfather was Zhang Jiu Jiu, then her name should be Zhang Shan Shan.
Shan Shan saw that Li Qiang was looking at her from beginning to end, so she stood up and asked, "Why are you here as well?"
Tian Yinghui said, "Sister, he's Li Qiang. You knew him before, right?"
Shan Shan nodded. "Of course I know him. This person has the least conscience. You'd better stay away from him in the future."
Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you say that about me? At least we've been together for a long time."
Shan Shan said, "Since you said that we've been together for so long, then why haven't we contacted Mom and me for so many years? What exactly do you mean by this?"
Li Qiang said, "Since something happened at my house, I don't have much money. Of course, I can't afford to hire home tutors anymore. How could I possibly meet up with you guys again?"
Shan Shan stamped her feet and said, "This isn't a matter of money at all. You took advantage of us and then hid far away. You're too hateful!" As she spoke, she almost cried out loud.
Li Qiang had an embarrassed expression as he thought to himself, "So this host had caused a lot of trouble. In the end, he let me take the lead."
Tian Yinghui hurriedly tried to persuade her. "I'm sorry, sister, I was in the wrong. I shouldn't have brought him here. I'm really sorry for making you angry."
Zhang Shan Shan said, "It's fine. I was just saying a few casual words. It's already the past. I don't care anymore."
Li Qiang laughed, "That's good. We're all good friends!"
Zhang Shan Shan said, "Who's good friends with you? You're the worst, you've always been so careless with me. I've already given you a lot of face by not taking care of you."
Li Qiang said, "That's not right, it's because you had too many problems back then. For example, you used to rub your legs on the table during class and your expression seemed to be pretty good. I only poked you a few times to remind you, but you beat me up." Tian Yinghui laughed as she said this.
Zhang Shan said angrily, "How long ago was that? Are you still talking nonsense? Who's holding the table by the legs? Which eye of yours saw me do that?"
Li Qiang said helplessly, "Back then, when we were at the same table, you liked to do that kind of thing the most, but you actually didn't admit it. You were pretty honest to begin with."
Zhang Shan Shan pushed him, saying, "You better get out of here quickly. Whenever I see you, I'll always say these crazy words. I'm so angry! When my mother comes back, I don't know how angry she will be when she sees you. I don't want her condition to worsen!"
Li Qiang said, "Don't be like this, I came to visit Teacher Huang out of good intentions. You can't just kick me out like this. I've not seen her for so many years, I really miss her."
Zhang Shan Shan said, "My mom misses you too, but you just have to hide from her. What do you want her to do?" At her age, she can't possibly come looking for you. People have their own dignity. "
Tian Yinghui asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about? It sounds weird to me."
Li Qiang laughed, "In the past, Teacher Huang was my home tutor and took great care of me, so we had a good relationship. But for the past few years, I've alienated them because of some things that I can't say. That's why they're so angry at me.
Zhang Shan Shan's tone was gentle. "It's good that you know you're wrong. Actually, I know you came to Yan Jing Middle School, but because I was angry with you, I never took the initiative to come and find you. It's good that you know you're wrong."
Li Qiang asked, "Why did Teacher Huang marry Principal Zhang? It's a little hard for me to imagine. "
Zhang Shan said, "If she doesn't marry, can she live the rest of his life by himself? Although Zhang Xueyi is not a very good person, he has status, money and can give my mother and me a good life. Even if my mother marries him, she will not suffer any losses, but that Zhang Rui is really annoying.
Li Qiang nodded. "That's right. Zhang Rui is a very bad person. You must be on your guard against him. Otherwise, it will be easy for you to lose out."
Zhang Shan Shan nodded. "You don't have to worry about that. Mom and I have seen a lot of storms, so it's nothing much."
Li Qiang probed, "Have you seen a person called Ling Tong?"
Zhang Shan Shan was startled, "How did you know about him?" My mother has always kept this matter a secret and never mentioned the matter between her and Ling Tong. Even I do not know much about it.
Li Qiang understood in his heart that the affair between Huang Yingying and Ling Tong was an extramarital affair, and it even caused Ling Tong's wife to commit suicide. No matter what she initially thought, the result of this incident was a human life, which was extremely disgraceful.
Zhang Shan saw that Li Qiang did not say anything, so she asked: "Why are you not saying anything? "I really want to know about my mother's past. Is there something troubling you that you're not willing to tell me?"
Li Qiang said, "I heard this news from a friend. It might be true or false, but I don't dare to speak carelessly."
Zhang Shan said, "Who on earth is that? Can you tell me more about it?"
Li Qiang was troubled. "There are many passes in here. Please forgive me for not saying more."
Zhang Shan Shan said angrily, "You are the same type of person as before. You must hate yourself. If you don't leave quickly and tell me the truth, I don't want to see you again."
Tian Yinghui asked curiously, "Just what did he do to you in the past to make you hate him so?"
Zhang Shan Shan was at a loss for words. She casually replied, "No, there's nothing going on between us. Don't ask."
Tian Yinghui laughed. "The more you say there isn't any, the more I doubt you. Aiya, bringing him here has really made a mess and confused me."
Zhang Shan Shan continued to ask, "Tell me quickly. Tell me about my mother and Ling Tong, okay?"
Just as Li Qiang was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone at the door say, "Shan Shan, don't bully Xiao Qiang like this. You're always like this. You just pester him endlessly whenever you see him."
This voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear. It carried an indescribable attractiveness as it brought back Li Qiang's distant memories.
He stood up and respectfully greeted the person at the door, "Hello, Teacher Huang. Are you feeling better?"
The person at the door walked in. Although he was wearing a hospital gown, it was hard to cover up his pretty face, currently her hair was in disarray, her face was pale and haggard, but her elegant appearance was very pressing, and also had a mature charm. Not only did the men like her, even the women could not help but feel their hearts beat when they saw her.
Huang Ying Ying walked closer to Li Qiang and carefully examined him. She smiled and said, "Xiao Qiang, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you?"
Li Qiang nodded, "Thank you for Teacher Huang's concern. Shan Shan and I are currently in the same high school, so we're having a good time."
Huang Yingying said, "As long as you're fine, I'm fine. I've tried to contact you before, but there's no news of you. I'm very worried about you."
Li Qiang said, "Something happened at my house and the phone call ended for a while. A lot of people lost contact with my home and made Teacher Huang worried. I'm really sorry."
