Chapter 354: Chapter 250: He Died, She’s a Widow

One of the parents suggested, "Let the kids play together and look at how happy they are when they seldom get a chance to play outside. I’ll stay here to watch over them, while other parents can scatter around. With so many of us gathered here, we’re not much use anyway."

Tang Xi patted Tangtang’s head, "Tangtang, play with your classmates, and if there’s any issue, just call Mom with your watch."

Watching Tangtang join two other girls to play, Tang Xi took out her phone and snapped a few photos.

"Tangtang’s mom, you look somewhat familiar. I think I have seen you somewhere before." Suddenly, a woman approached Tang Xi, she was dressed in lavish clothes that screamed wealth, albeit in a tacky manner, with shiny gold and jade jewelry hanging around her neck, ears, and wrists as if to show off her riches.

However, most families capable of sending their children to Star Blue School are quite well off.

It was only because of Shangguan Nanxian that Tang Xi got the admission slot for Tangtang.

No wonder Tangtang was reluctant to attend this activity, afraid that spending too much would distress Tang Xi.

Tang Xi smiled politely, "Hello."

She had an impression of the woman in front of her because she had treated her when she was working in the emergency department at Central Hospital.

"I used to be a doctor in the emergency department of Central Hospital. Your father had a stroke once, and I saw you there – it was me who diagnosed your father."

Why was she so impressed with the woman in front of her? Because she had made a scene in the emergency department once.

The woman in front of her, Tang Xi remembered her name was Chen Xuezhen. Her father was suddenly struck by a stroke and was brought to the emergency where Tang Xi was on duty. Due to a shortage of emergency beds, as the twin, four-person, and single rooms were all occupied, only a few beds in the first-floor critical care area were available, and those were for patients with severe conditions. Tang Xi managed to arrange an extra bed on the first floor.

But...

The other party wasn’t satisfied.

She insisted on making a scene, demanding a private room.

She even called the deputy director of the hospital to come over.

This Chen Xuezhen came from a somewhat wealthy family who owned a garment embroidery factory. She caused trouble in the emergency department for two days until a patient was finally discharged, and a bed became available in a double room which she was then assigned to.

Chen Xuezhen elongated her voice, "Oh, so it’s you. I knew you looked familiar. I didn’t expect that your daughter is also at Star Blue, and to think she’s even in the same class as my daughter. It really is such a coincidence."

Chen Xuezhen glanced at Tang Xi’s attire; it was very ordinary. She wore a light-gray tracksuit, the most basic brand, and a pair of white sneakers. The total cost of her entire outfit didn’t exceed 500 yuan.

Just a country bumpkin?

Yet she can afford to send her child to Star Blue?

And to be in the same class as her own daughter, it’s just lowering the class.

Another parent came over, "What’s wrong, Xuezhen? Do you know Tangtang’s mom?"

"Can’t really say I know her, just an ordinary little doctor."

"Tangtang’s mom, you’re a doctor? At Central Hospital? Let’s add each other on WeChat and get to know each other." The woman said, pulling out her phone to exchange WeChat contact with Tang Xi. "I’m Fang Xin; my son Li Jiarui and Tangtang are desk mates."

Fang Xin was quite enthusiastic and didn’t look down on people like Chen Xuezhen. Linking arms with Tang Xi, she asked, "Which department are you in now? And where does Tangtang’s dad work?"

Tang Xi was actually quite resistant to this type of prying into her family life right off the bat. Even knowing there was no malice, it was somewhat awkward. She smiled faintly and politely replied, "I’ve been transferred to work at a community hospital in the outpatient department, and Tangtang’s dad is very busy with work, not on the North Island..."

Every time someone inquired about Tangtang’s dad, Tang Xi would deflect to avoid the topic.

But as Tangtang grew older and started school, she could no longer dodge these questions.

School teachers would require information to be filled in, and colleagues at work would also start asking.

Tang Xi had initially wanted to say, "He’s dead, and I’m a widow."

But later, she decided it was better to stay calm and simply say that he’s very busy with work, not on the North Island.

When asked about her marital status, it was easier to smile and say, "Amicably divorced, due to emotional differences."

There was no need to harbor resentment; these topics couldn’t be avoided, better to answer them head-on.

Chen Xuezhen’s voice rose as if through a loudspeaker, "I heard that you and Tangtang’s dad got divorced."

Fang Xin’s mouth opened slightly in surprise, "Ah... sorry, I didn’t know."

Tang Xi’s lips tightened for a moment, but she replied with a smile, "It’s okay, just a typical case of emotional differences leading to spending less time together and a natural end to the marriage."

With Chen Xuezhen’s outburst, it seemed like everyone nearby also got to know about it, and Tang Xi suddenly became a point of gossip to be discussed.
