Elena feels that her son has changed a lot, but she doesn't ask too much about it. She has been lying in the hospital for almost a year, and it's normal for Tom to change in the face of suffering. She also didn't inquire about her husband's situation, so as not to add another burden to Tom's heart.
Back at the rental house, Tom paid the landlord's rent and then moved out with Mother overnight. In addition to avoiding harassment from the online loan company, they also wanted to avoid retaliation from Gao Qiqiang and his group. Tom had the ability and confidence to protect himself, but Mother could be easily influenced.
Tom rented a single room in the Baisha Island urban village for Mother to recuperate temporarily. Elena is feeling better and the medical expenses are less of a burden, but Tom is still not at ease because he still owes a lot of online loans. Additionally, Tom is also worried about finding his foster father Smith, whether he is alive or dead, there always needs to be a conclusion.
"Ding—"
On the fifth morning after being discharged from the hospital, Elena's health had improved a lot, and she could take care of herself.
Tom turned on his phone, which had been off for five days, and received dozens of text messages.
Next, a phone call came in.
Tom put on his earpiece and answered. Soon, a cold voice of a woman came through:
"Finally turned on your phone? I thought you disappeared with the money."
"These days, you don't turn on your phone, don't reply to messages, and nobody's seen at home. What exactly are you up to?"
"If you don't want to stay at the Tang's, then leave quickly."
Tang Xue
Tom hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I've been staying with my mom these days. She just got out of the hospital and needs someone to take care of her."
"My phone was turned off because the debt collection company was calling non-stop 24 hours a day. I was worried that she would be anxious, so I temporarily turned it off."
He asked softly, "What do you need from me?"
Although Tom has been looked down upon by the Tang family this year, he knows he has no right to lose his temper, after all, it was the Tang family who gave him fifty thousand dollars to save his life. Hearing that Tom is taking care of Elena, Tang Xue's voice softened slightly: "Send me your location, I'll drive to pick you up."
Tom was slightly surprised: "You're back from your trip?"
A week ago, the Tang family of five went on a trip abroad, leaving Ye Fan alone at home to watch over the house.
"Don't understand what I'm saying? Share your location."
Tang Xue Impatiently hangs up the phone.
Tom Can only send the location.
"Wu——"
Half an hour later, a red BMW stopped in front of Tom. The door opened, and a dazzling beauty emerged. The woman was dressed in black, with delicate features, fair skin, a cool temperament, and a hint of sexiness.
Especially a pair of snow-white legs, long, round, and full of temptation when walking. Many passersby suddenly widened their eyes, and even their breathing became rapid unconsciously. Tang Ruoxue.
The most beautiful woman in the Mediterranean, and also Tom's wife.
"You're such a filial son, giving your mom such a lousy place to live."
Tang Xue continued to mock Tom as usual, but still handed over a few bags of bird's nest and ginseng.
"This is a supplement I bought for your mom, so she can take good care of her health."
"Isn't your mom going to have surgery? Why did you return the money?"
She threw a bank card over and said, "The Tang family has already spent six or seven hundred thousand on you, so another ten thousand doesn't matter."
Tom waved his hand and said, "No need, she's much better now, no need for surgery..."
"Just keep it with you, and if anything happens, use it for her."
Tang Xue bluntly interrupted Tom, "So you won't have to borrow money and embarrass yourself."
"Don't talk to me about dignity. If you had any dignity, you wouldn't have married into the Tang family and taken ten thousand yuan from me every month for medical expenses."
Her tone carried a hint of disdain, and Tom's retreat at this moment, maintaining his so-called dignity, was just a pretense.
Tang Xue's words hit Tom hard, but just as he wanted to throw the bank card back, Tang Xue had already gotten into the car.
Tom could only hold the supplements and bank card and ask, "Thank you, have my parents come back?"
Tang Xue responded in her usual cold tone, "What does it have to do with you whether they come back or not?"
"Quickly take the things to your mom, I need to talk to you."
Tom didn't say anything else, took the things to Mother's rental house, then said goodbye and left.
"Sigh—"
Tom just got into the passenger seat, and Tang Xue stepped on the gas and drove away.
Tom swayed and accidentally touched Tang Ruoxue's thigh.
Smooth and delicate.
At the same time, a piece of information emerged in Tom's mind.
Condition: Negative energy entering the body, bad luck surrounding, harm to family and friends, threat of death...
Cause: The amulet obtained during overseas travel has been cursed by someone...
Repair or destroy?
Tom really wants to say repair, but hasn't made up his mind yet. Tang Ruoxue's eyes have turned cold.
Tom quickly moves his hands away from taking advantage.
He wants to help Tang Xue dispel the ominous energy, but the restoration requires physical contact, and Tang Xue would never let him touch her. So he can only kindly remind her: "Xue, your forehead is dark, your momentum is weak, and there is a sign of bloodshed. You should find a master to resolve it..."
Tang Xue sneered, "Long time no see, you've become quite patient, learning to read people's fortunes."
Tom awkwardly replied, "No, it's just that you really have bad energy around you. Maybe someone put a curse on you during your trip..."
"Do you have a amulet on you?"
He spoke out about Tang Xue's situation in one breath.
"Shut up! You're the one with bad luck and disaster following you."
Tang Xue, feeling both embarrassed and angry, said, "I'm perfectly fine. If you curse me again, I'll make you roll down."
Tom helplessly said, "I really didn't curse you..."
"If it wasn't you, then shut up."
Tang Xue looked sharp and said, "You know nothing and yet you blabber on. You, who only knows how to cook, also knows how to read fortunes?"
Tom, be smart and shut up.
Seeing that Tom didn't speak, Tang Xue became even angrier. Tom is not only incompetent but also cowardly. What use is he?
However, a hint of doubt flashed through her mind. How did Tom know that she had a amulet?
I want to know if she wears it on her heart, is it possible that this jerk peeked and used it to deceive himself? It must be like this. Tang Xue made a judgment, and then her pretty face became even more disappointed.
Tom is not only incompetent, but also a pervert.
"Tom, when I finish my work this month, I want to divorce you."
Tang Xue's eyes were more determined than ever before:
"No matter whether you agree or not, I am going to divorce you."
A year ago, the Tang family had a series of misfortunes, and Tang Xue also fell seriously ill. In order to bring good luck, they needed to marry off Tom.
Over the past year, the misfortunes of the Tang family have dissipated, Tang Xue has recovered, and the Tang family has been thinking about getting rid of Tom, this piece of adhesive plaster.
The entire Tang family looks down on Tom. Tang Xue's pity for Tom has turned into disdain, and she sees no value in him. When she mentioned divorce, Tom remained silent, his eyes filled with sadness.
I really am like a rat crossing the street.
"Do you know why Mom, Dad, and your brother-in-law are all disappointed in you?"
"It's not because you don't have money, and it's not because you're unemployed. It's because you're too weak and too useless."
"Over the past year, besides doing some housework, you haven't accomplished anything worthwhile. You're really too useless and incompetent."
"I really don't want to spend my life with a man like you, even if you're just a tool used by the Tang family to bring good luck."
"Don't worry, when we divorce, I will give you another five hundred thousand."
"You don't have to worry about your mom's medical expenses."
Tang Xue's voice was emotionless: "Let's part on good terms, don't make me completely look down on you."
Part on good terms?
Tom's eyes were filled with a touch of pain. He vaguely remembered that snowy evening, the little girl with braided hair and dressed in red, the girl who saved him with a bag of barbecue buns. Although eighteen years had passed in a flash, Tom still remembered the girl's face, and her kindness.
This is also the main reason why he is willing to come to the wedding door. Five hundred thousand is important, but more importantly, Tom wants to repay the kindness of the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worth five hundred thousand even if he sold himself.
Tom sighed in his heart: Maybe it's time to let go...
"Did you hear me?"
Seeing Tom in a daze, Tang Xue couldn't help but speak: "I want to divorce you..."
"Swoosh!"
Before the voice had even completely fallen, Ye Fan, who had been silent, perked up at the sound and sat up straight.
Leaning against Tang Xue, he exerted a tremendous force that pinned down Tang Xue's movements.
The next moment, he turned the steering wheel with his left hand and placed his right hand on her long, slender thigh. The BMW that was about to stop at the intersection for the red light suddenly accelerated like an arrow. "Tom!"
Tang Xue screamed, "Are you crazy?"
"Boom!"
Just as the car rushed to the opposite side, a dump truck swept over, hitting six cars in a row, causing wreckage all over the road.
Screams filled the air. Tang Xue pushed Tom away, hit the brakes, and turned to look. Blood was everywhere.
