Weathered the Storm 3

Leng Yejin stood before the window with hands behind his back. He did some math. That woman had been imprisoned for fifty hours. His patience was running out. The look in Leng Yejin’s eyes turned grim. ‘Should I really take this matter into my own hands and save the British prime minister myself?’

It was too much. Leng Yejin’s expression darkened!

Secretary Yu received a phone call. The creases between his eyebrows suddenly vanished. He immediately said to Leng Yejin, “Young Master Jin, the doctor you introduced to the hospital has saved Mr. Prime Minister. He’s awake. Mr. President is going to the hospital with his people to visit him. Miss Tong is going with them too.”

Leng Yejin immediately stood up. “Tell the doctor and emphasize that part of the success is credited to Tong Lu’s first-aid assistance.”

“Understood.” Secretary Yu nodded and continued speaking on the phone.

It was the first time Tong Lu was in the same car as Mr. President. She was awfully stressed out.

As always, Mr. President was very friendly and approachable. “You’ve gone through quite serious trouble. Have you cried during these two days?”

Tong Lu straightened up in her seat tensely and shook her head. “Uncle-in-law, I’m sorry. I’ve caused you and the nation trouble.”

Mr. President stared at her face. He looked as if he was deep in thought. “It might not be a problem at all. Don’t feel pressured about it. By the way, from the first time I saw you, I’ve felt a sense of affinity for you. Your face reminds me of a person I knew when I was a young man. When she encountered some problems, she managed to stay calm while braving through the storm. It’s an applaudable trait.”

Embarrassed, Tong Lu touched her nose in a sheepish manner and said, “To be honest, I’m terrified. But I don’t dare to show it because I might embarrass myself even more.”

Mr. President gave her a warm smile. “It’s normal to be scared.”

The car headed towards the hospital entrance very slowly. Many citizens, who were concerned about the British prime minister and how this crisis had developed, were gathered in front of the main entrance. The crowd was huge. Some of them even held up huge banners with ‘Tong XX you c*nt, get out of the country!’ written on them.

Tong Lu sat inside the car, feeling misunderstood and strangely upset. She could barely calm herself down.

She tried to control her emotions. It had only been two days, and she had already become the nation’s greatest sinner.

But all she did was an act of kindness.

Being falsely accused made her feel extremely terrible.

At the crowded hospital entrance, the police and the army had formed two safety barriers on both sides of the path, blocking the huge groups of bystanders outside the hospital. But there were still people calling her name at the top of their lungs and they kept shouting abuse.

The car slowed to a stop.

There were a dozen cars ahead and behind them.

When Tong Lu got out of the car, she saw the angry mob.

Tong Lu was rather terrified and wanted to return to the car instinctively.

Mr. President gave her an encouraging look.

Tong Lu’s stepmother, Xia Manwen, and Tong Juan were also in the crowd.

“Juan Juan, we must present ourselves well, or else Tong Juan that little c*nt is going to be the death of us,” Xia Manwen said.

Tong Juan nodded. “I know, mom. Coincidentally, Mr. President is also here. It’s our time to voice our stance. Let’s break through the police cordon, now. We’ll condemn a family member for the sake of the nation! Mom, follow me.”

Tong Juan grabbed Xia Manwen’s by the hand and seized the opportunity to dash through the police cordon. They instantly caused a commotion. The police officers ran after them. Tong Juan immediately said, “Tong Lu is my sister from a different mother. We want to see her.”

Everyone looked at them. Tong Juan and Xia Manwen walked and stopped before the president. The president’s security detail had surrounded him and they created a menacing atmosphere.

Tong Juan was nervous, but she must say what she wanted to say.

“Hello, Mr. President. Sorry that I crossed the cordon recklessly and startled you. Tong Lu is my father’s illegitimate daughter. My mother and my father had just gotten married when her mother seduced my father and became pregnant with her. We didn’t expect that she’d cause such serious trouble for the country.”
