Chapter 421 We used to be husband and wife
Qiao Liang said: "Dad, mom, what else is there? Just tell me."
Zhang Mei's mother tentatively said: "Liangzi, your dad and I want you to take us to see Meizi. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, saw Zhang Mei’s parents looking at him, and then nodded: “Okay, let’s go now.”
Qiao Liang then called a ride-share and took Zhang Mei’s parents straight to the mental hospital.
The mental hospital is in the suburbs and arrives within an hour.
When he arrived at the mental hospital, Qiao Liang took Zhang Mei’s parents into the special care area. The environment here is elegant, and the accommodation and nursing conditions are the best in the hospital. Zhang Mei lives in a single room by herself, and the configuration of the single room is close to the standard of a star-rated hotel.
This was specially arranged by Qiao Liang to the dean. Because of Qiao Liang's identity, the dean naturally agreed with all requests.
Zhang Mei was wearing a loose hospital gown, sitting quietly on the chair in the room, facing the window to bask in the sun.
At this time, Zhang Mei had her hair cleanly combed and her face was still pretty, but her eyes were dull and she looked out the window with an expressionless face.
As soon as he saw Zhang Mei, Zhang Mei’s parents cried. Her mother went over and squatted in front of Zhang Mei, looked at her with wide eyes, and shook her shoulders: "Meizi, I am my mother, my father and Liangzi are here to see you..."
Zhang Meimuran looked at her mother, with no glory in her eyes, as if there was a complete stranger in front of her.
Seeing Zhang Mei like this, my mother was even more sad, and my father was crying, and Qiao Liang was sad when he watched from the side.
At this time, the nursing staff came over and whispered: "Auntie, uncle, what patients are most afraid of now is stimulation, don't be too excited."
This reminded Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang hurriedly helped Zhang Mei's mother up and asked the nurse to take her and her father outside to calm down first.
After Zhang Mei’s parents went out, Zhang Mei squatted in front of Zhang Mei, carefully looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, and felt very moved and sighed.
"Zhang Mei, I am Qiao Liang. Do you still know me?" Qiao Liang said softly.
Zhang Mei stared at Qiao Liang for a long time, then shook her head.
"You don't know me, but I know you. We used to be a couple. Later, for some reasons, we divorced." Qiao Liang continued to whisper, "Although we divorced, your parents regard me as their son. I have recognized them as their godmothers, and I will take good care of them. You can rest well here and don't worry about your parents' health."
Zhang Mei stared at Qiao Liang blankly, and said for a long time: "Who are you?"
Seeing Zhang Mei like this, Qiao Liang knew that it would be useless to say anything. Her mental blow was too great, and many things from the past had long been forgotten.
At this time, Zhang Mei’s parents came in again. They looked calm now, but their eyes were red and swollen.
"Dad, mom, you guys stay with Zhang Mei for a while." Qiao Liang stood up.
Zhang Mei’s parents nodded, sat carefully on the sofa next to them, and looked at Zhang Mei sadly.
Qiao Liang knew that as a parent, seeing his children like this, the inner pain is difficult to express in words.
Qiao Liang left the room, took it to the door gently, and looked at the nursing staff: "Are your director here?"
"He's on duty today, I'll take you to his office." The nurses respected Qiao Liang's attitude. She knew Qiao Liang's identity, and she also knew that the dean and director took good care of Zhang Mei.
"No need, I'll go there myself." Qiao Liang then went to the director's duty room. When the director saw Qiao Liang coming, he shook hands and greeted him enthusiastically.
Qiao Liang knew that the director was a senior expert in the hospital, so he asked about Zhang Mei's situation.
The director opened the medical record and said, "Secretary Qiao, Zhang Mei's condition is quite special. She has neither a family mental history nor a mental disorder before. This time she encountered a very strong external stimulus, which caused her brain to collapse. I have encountered such a patient before and have also come into contact with some similar cases in China..."
"Can this situation be cured?" Qiao Liang asked.
"There is hope for curing, but it takes a relatively long process. In addition to drug treatment, it also needs to be supplemented by psychotherapy. According to Zhang Mei's situation and the director's instructions, I personally presided over the formulation of a complete treatment plan. We are currently following the plan step by step."
Qiao Liang hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Director, I've made you worry."
Director Xiaoxiao: "Secretary Qiao, you don't have to be polite. We will definitely do our best. Of course, this also requires the cooperation of relatives."
"How to cooperate?"
"At present, we should try to minimize any stimulation from the outside world. In other words, she needs a quiet treatment environment now, and try to avoid outsiders from disturbing her. Even if relatives come to visit her, don't be emotionally excited in front of her, and don't say something easily stimulating in front of her."
Qiao Liang nodded.
The director continued: "Two days ago, Director Yuan and Director Su, the leader of Zhang Mei's unit, came to visit her. Considering Zhang Mei's current situation, I did not agree to let them face to face with Zhang Mei, but just looked outside the door."
Qiao Liang was stunned. It turned out that Yuan Lizhi took Su Yan to see Zhang Mei, and they did not say hello to him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense that they come to visit. After all, Zhang Mei is a middle-level cadre of the Radio and Television Bureau. As the director, Yuan Lizhi should come.
It seems understandable that Yuan Lizhi saw that Zhang Mei did not say hello to him. After all, the news of Zhang Mei’s divorce from him has been made public, and Yuan Lizhi felt that saying hello to him would make everyone embarrassed.
The director continued: "Director Yuan came to see Zhang Mei and I can dissuade him, but I cannot and dare to stop a leader like Minister Chu."
Qiao Liang's body was shocked: "What? Minister Chu has come?"
"Yes." The director nodded, "Minister Chu came yesterday morning, no one accompanied him, he came by himself, sat alone in the room for about ten minutes, and then left."
"What did Minister Chu say to Zhang Mei when he came here?" Qiao Liang asked.
The director shook his head: "Minister Chu refused to let others in. He said that Zhang Mei was his old subordinate. He came to visit his subordinates as an old leader. After Minister Chu entered, I was not relieved. I was worried that Zhang Mei would be stimulated, so I looked outside the door through the window.
I saw Minister Chu sitting opposite Zhang Mei, saying something calmly. Zhang Mei had no reaction when she was expressionless and occasionally shook her head. Minister Chu sat for a long time, and saw that Zhang Mei had not spoken, so she got up and left. Before leaving, Minister Chu reminded me to take good care of Zhang Mei."
Qiao Liang nodded. At this time, he realized that Chu Heng came here to see Zhang Mei, not caring about Zhang Mei's condition, but must have another purpose. He talked to Zhang Mei alone, maybe he was testing how much Zhang Mei still remembered about the past and whether it would pose any threat to him.
He should be relieved to see Zhang Mei's current situation.
Qiao Liang also knew that Chu Heng was unwilling to let others know about Zhang Mei, including himself.
This shameless bastard! Qiao Liang was angry and tried hard to suppress him in front of the director, trying to keep himself silent.
After seeing Zhang Mei, Qiao Liang sent Zhang Mei’s parents home and then went to the riverside alone.
At this time, Qiao Liang was in a very depressed mood. He sat on the cold stone bench by the river, lit a cigarette and smoked silently, staring at the people playing in groups of three or three on the frozen river surface in a daze.
