76 The illusion of happiness

Shu Shu went to work as usual, and the Chinese New Year was about to come. Spring Festival Galas were popping up all over the country, and each had their own gimmicks, competing with big names, programs, sponsorships, and innovations. Of course, the ultimate goal was to win ratings.

When I was a student, this was unbelievable and that was wonderful. But now that I am in the media industry, these hype tactics are really childish.

"Shu Shu, please do me a favor. Send this recorder to Xiao Zhu in the studio. I have to go to the toilet."

"Okay Sister Suman, I'll go right away."

We went to the video studio, but we met on a narrow road, and the person who came to record the video happened to be Osha.

Osha was injured while filming a movie, so she took advantage of her break to take part in some relaxing interview shows.

"Ka, take a ten-minute break!"

Shu Shu saw Xiao Zhu and walked towards her, "Hi, Xiao Zhu, Sister Suman asked me to get it for you."

"Well, thanks."

"You're welcome!"

Just as she turned around to leave, she saw Osha walking towards her with a smile. She held a cup and said, "I met Ling Qiao at the hospital last night. Seeing how anxious he looked, I thought the person in the operating room was you.

.Looking at you standing here properly today, it seems that I have thought too much."

"What did you say?" Shu Shu was stunned.

Osha raised her eyebrows, "Haha, you don't know what happened to Ling Qiao in the hospital last night? He was guarding the door of the operating room, but he was anxious~"

Shu Shu also thought of something. Tang Youqing sprained her foot yesterday. It couldn't be so serious that she had to go to the operating room. Moreover, there was no need for Ling Qiao to lie to her. This Osha had a grudge against her, so her words must not be ignored.

Believe it or not, she still trusts her husband more.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" After saying that, Shu Shu turned around and left.

After work, Shu Shu bought some bananas and went to Ling's house. She heard that Ling Qiao said that grandma was not feeling well and he was so busy at work, so she would go back and spend more time with the old man. As for other selfish motives, she also had them.

Whether Ling Qiao lied or Osha lied, she didn't have to guess. She would know when she went back and asked if Ling Qiao came back last night.

When she got home, Hu Xin looked at her and said, "Why are you back? What did you bring? Oh, bananas rot easily, and no one at home eats them."

Shu Shu smiled and said nothing.

"Just leave it alone, you came just in time, let's start dinner!"

Shu Shu put the banana aside. This was for grandma. The old man has bad teeth, so it would be best to eat soft fruits that are easy to absorb.

"Grandma," Shu Shu quickly went to the door of the room to support her, "slow down, I'll help you."

"Good boy, why do you have time to come and see me, an old man, today?"

"Ling Qiao works overtime, and I came here because I had nothing to do at home. How is your health?" Looking at grandma's strong body, it doesn't look like she is uncomfortable.

Grandma Ling patted her chest and said, "Grandma, I'm in good health. I'm just waiting for you to give me a little golden great-grandson, hahaha."

Shu Shu had a bad premonition, "You have to let nature take its course." She said tentatively, "Grandma, Ling Qiao came back very late yesterday."

"Oh? You still work overtime on Sunday? Oh, it's really hard for him, Shu Shu, you have to understand him. There are so many employees in the company, and they are looking forward to bonuses during the New Year. Ling Qiao is under great pressure. Years ago was the most

It’s time to get busy.”

"Yeah, I know!" Shu Shu's mood hit rock bottom. In this way, Ling Qiao didn't come over at all last night. He also lied that grandma was unwell.

After dinner, grandma asked the driver to take her back to Chunshu Villa. The house was dimly lit, and Ling Qiao did not come back.

Shu Shu felt very uneasy. She didn't have the courage to expose some things.

After thinking about the reason, I called Ling Qiao's office. He said he had to work overtime today, but I didn't know if he really was working overtime.

Calling the office is the best way to prove whether he is there or not.

The phone rang twice and was answered by the secretary on duty, "Hello, hello."

Shu Shu pinched her nose and said pretentiously: "Hello, I'm looking for President Ling."

"The president is not here, if you have anything you can tell me, I will convey it to you."

"Oh, it's nothing special. I'll just call his cell phone." After hanging up the phone, Shu Shu felt even more panicked, but she was very calm and dialed Ling Qiao's cell phone number and called him.

Ling Qiao was concentrating on peeling apples in Tang Youqing's ward. Tang Youqing looked at his careful and considerate look, with a smile on her face and her complexion improved a lot.

The phone rang, and when he saw the word "wife" displayed on the screen, he immediately put down the apple in his hand, "I'm going out to take a call about work."

"Yeah." Tang Youqing smiled quietly. He came to feed her porridge in the morning, brought her lunch at noon, and came to accompany her after work. She was very satisfied.

Ling Qiao walked to the corridor and answered the phone, "Hey wife, do you miss me?"

Shu Shu suppressed her inner discomfort and asked, "Well, I miss you, husband, when will you get off work?"

"Come on, there is still a document to read. If you are sleepy, go to bed first."

"No, I'll wait for you!" That heartache, did he really treat her as a three-and-a-half-year-old child? Did he really think she was so easy to deceive?!

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Qiao frowned, feeling particularly guilty in his heart. Once he told a lie, he had to use a hundred lies to cover it up. He truly understood the meaning of this sentence.

Ling Qiao came back soon, but Shu Shu who was waiting for him had already fallen asleep. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead and fell asleep beside her.

Shu Shu slowly opened her eyes, her arms wrapped around her waist, and the sound of his breathing could be heard in her ears. When he came, the whole bed felt warm.

She didn't want to ask or expose it, she wanted him to tell her personally.

The next day, when Shu Shu woke up, Ling Qiao was no longer in bed. She reached out and touched his pillow, and found that it was still warm under his pillow.

I quickly put on my clothes and went downstairs. Ling Qiao was making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Honey, you woke up before I called you. Did you smell the fragrance? Darling, go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly, and then come over and eat the poached eggs with love."

On the dining table, there are two heart-shaped poached eggs, hot milk, hot sausages, and the aroma of meat and milk overflows.

"Eat quickly, you can't fill your stomach just by looking at it."

Shu Shu felt mixed emotions in her heart. Seeing Ling Qiao pampering her like this, she was really in trouble. She was really confused and confused.

"I'm touched." She smiled, picked up the sausage with a fork, and took a big bite, filling her mouth with food so that she wouldn't talk nonsense.

Ling Qiao shook her head and said with a smile: "Look at you, I know you are a carnivore, but you don't need to love meat so much. You should eat more whole grains." Ling Qiao gave her a few slices of bread.

Shu Shu picked it up and ate it, swallowing everything she said.

Sitting in the office, she couldn't sit still. This was a TV station. What news did she need? Reporters were the first to know any news.

The news that Tang Youqing, the daughter of the Tang family, has returned to China has finally surfaced. Moreover, she fell and was injured on the Lincoln Center stage in the United States, and is now lying in the hospital receiving treatment.

"Shu Shu, we have a mission, let's go, everyone is running to the hospital, we can't be left behind."

"Sister Suman, why are you going to the hospital?"

"Tang Youqing is in the hospital. Let's go and see if her old lover Ling Qiao will visit her. If she does, it will be big news."

"Ah?" Isn't this too ironic?!

"Ah what, let's go."

When they arrived at the hospital, Shu Shu and Su Manbing split into two groups and went their separate ways.

There are many reporters lurking in the hospital, and they all have the same idea. Everyone is here to wait and see.

Shu Shu had seen Ling Qiao's tricks of hiding from reporters. Even ordinary doctors and nurses could not enter the VIP ward of the hospital, let alone reporters. If Tang Youqing was really arranged by Ling Qiao, then she must be in the VIP ward.

Shu Shu bought a fruit basket and went to the VIP ward, "Head nurse, do you still recognize me?"

The head nurse looked at Shu Shu and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ling, we know each other."

"Head nurse, my husband asked me to come visit an old friend named Tang Youqing. Can you let me in?"

"Okay." The head nurse let her in without any doubt.

Stepping here, Shu Shu's heart became heavier and heavier. Her guess was indeed correct. Ling Qiao protected Tang Youqing well.

Knocking on the door, a soft female voice came from inside, "Come in."

Shu Shu opened the door and saw Tang Youqing sitting quietly in a wheelchair, facing the window, carefully watering the small potted plants on the windowsill. She remembered that when Ling Qiao was hospitalized, there were no such potted plants on the windowsill.

Tang Youqing put down the kettle and turned the wheelchair, "Shu Shu, why is it you?" She was full of surprise.

"Isn't it weird?" Shu Shu put the fruit basket on the bedside table, "You injured your foot and had surgery. It's time to come and see you."

"Haha, the operation was successful. There was nothing serious. I have to thank Ling Qiao. Fortunately, I have him." She spoke very thoughtfully.

Shu Shu pursed her lips and smiled, then walked to the window and saw the white jasmine flowers in full bloom. She leaned over and smelled them, "It smells so good."

The flowering period of jasmine ends in November, but now it is the end of December, and the jasmine here is in full bloom.

"Well, I think it smells good too. Ling Qiao brought this specially from abroad. He knows I like it."

Shu Shu couldn't bear it anymore, "Tang Youqing, don't keep talking about Ling Qiao. Even if he is an ordinary friend, he will help you if your foot is injured."

Tang Youqing moved to the wooden cabinet again. There was a bouquet of lavender in the crystal vase. There were too many lavenders. She took out a few plants from it and said, "These are all planted by Ling Qiao. They inserted them without sorting them out and without looking at them."

Look how big this vase is."

This vase looks very familiar. Isn't it the crystal vase placed in the entrance hall of their home? It was originally placed on the dining table, but she thought it took up space, so she placed it in the entrance hall.

The central air conditioner on the ceiling was slowly blowing warm air, and the folding page was turned towards the window sill. The warm wind was very comfortable, but a string of pleasant wind chimes sounded in my ears.

When I looked up, I saw a string of wind chimes swaying slightly in the wind above the windowsill. These were also from their home.

Tang Youqing said calmly: "Shu Shu, I don't want to force you to do something, let alone hide it from you. I know you are innocent, Ling Qiao, and he doesn't want to hurt you. So, let me be the villain.
