Break off relations
"It's early summer, yeah, nothing happened, really nothing happened. The news on TV said the person who had an accident wasn't me." The soft tone was unhurried and calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
Lu Huan walked to the door of the ward and heard her sister Manman say so lightly, with a slight curl at the corner of her mouth.
"In early summer, I want to ask you something. Do you still remember that time when we were about to graduate and went on a field trip to the Yangtze River basin?"
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this? Didn't we have to take an early train back because of the sudden flood and didn't get it done?"
Was it really early summer like her who forgot everything because she bumped her head?
"We took the train ahead of time, but we also encountered a flood." The low voice muttered to itself, "Now that I think about it, I wonder how those people who went with us are doing?"
"What can I do? I remember they all returned home safely."
Indeed, if anything happens, it will be news that can't be hidden in school or society.
"Are you asking this because you remembered something?" Chūxià asked on the phone, feeling puzzled, "But to recall, I think I remember that at that time, you and I were separated for a day or two."
"Yes. But later neither of us mentioned it again, did we?"
"Right. Why didn't we mention it again?" Chuxia on the phone, scratching her head in confusion, also couldn't understand. After a while, she slapped her palm, "I remember now. It's because we were afraid of being scolded by our parents and the school, afraid of being punished, because we organized the trip without the school's permission. The senior who took us there was really scared, because we almost died in the flood, it would affect his graduation prospects, so he especially asked us to keep it a secret, not to tell our parents or the school that we encountered the flood."
It was this reason after all.
Manman nodded: "I remember now, that senior brother's surname was Wang."
"It's Wang." Early summer was very pleased that "I still remember his name, Wang Xuebin."
"Do you remember when we withdrew and the regiment commander of the 7th company gave us his military vehicle?"
"I remember people calling him Qi Lian Lian Chang, but I only saw his back, so I don't know what he looks like or what his name is." Chū Xià said this and then whispered, "How did you think of him? Aren't you married to a military officer now? Are you having second thoughts?"
"How is this possible!" cried Manman in alarm!
This was found out by her husband who loved eating vinegar, and he was furious.
At the beginning of summer, it seemed like a sly smile on the opposite side. Manly took a deep breath and began to explain: "I don't want to recall some things, recall some fragments, and feel that something is fishy."
"What's going on?"
"It's hard to put into words. It's just a feeling."
It felt as if, when she opened her eyes on the yacht, the sunlight shining on that angular and distinct side profile was just as familiar as the fire-carved side profile she had seen that night.
Now, her fingertips touched the cold jade stone inside her collar.
Wen Shi Xuan gave her that piece of immortal peach jade pendant, she had been collecting it. This piece was the one that Jun Ye put on her during the family banquet that night. She has been wearing it ever since, changing to a less conspicuous cord and hiding it in her collar. Because she knew this piece was fake, possibly worn by her as a blindfold.
Others may not be able to tell that it's fake, after all, it's also made of jade. But she has been with the real jade for many years, and can tell whether it's true or false just by touching it.
"When are you coming back?"
"See you in a few days."
Sister's voice became relaxed, Lu Huan, who was eavesdropping at the door with his ears perked up, had goosebumps all over his body because his own brother was standing right behind him, also sneaking a listen.
After listening, Master Jun pushed him into the door with a finger on his shoulder, obviously letting him take the blame.
Belly cursed and scolded, taking Ge as a shield and leaving. Lu Huan carried many big and small things and walked in.
The road from the county town to Lujia Village is not open. Mother anxiously called and specially instructed him to buy things first before they arrived, because the eldest son must have no time to do these things.
"Huan'er, when did you come in?" Manman saw someone coming in and hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Mom said you should rest assured, drink more milk." Putting the food and things bought from the county town store, one by one on the table, beside the bed, on the floor, in other cabinets and drawers of the sickroom.
"Why did you buy so many things? I've checked and will be discharged in two days." Manman exclaimed, what a waste.
"It's not just you who eats." As he spoke, Lu Huan first opened a bottle of eight-treasure porridge and scooped out a mouthful for himself.
It's all messed up.
The younger brother bought her food, but actually he was buying it for himself. He didn't invite her to eat, and instead started eating first.
Of course she hoped her brother would eat more and grow taller.
But after digging two bowls of eight-treasure porridge, Lu Huan suddenly had a conscience and thought: "Sister, isn't the baby in your belly hungry?"
"Have a bowl of hot porridge before checking," said Manman.
The examination was actually being sent to the obstetrics department of the county hospital after being rescued. In her situation, a thorough physical examination cannot be performed directly. The doctor mainly asked questions and took some simple specimens from her. The test results are said to take one or two days later, not that soon.
"Sister, you seem to be worried no more." Lu Huan's eyebrows twitched upwards as he looked at her.
Manman is not worried, just that she has been very restrained and the doctor repeatedly reminded her to be calm and peaceful, the more tense she is, the more it will affect the baby.
"Uh-huh." Mumbled softly, Manman got down from bed, "I'll go wash an apple for you."
"Sister, don't get up. I'll go wash it." Without giving her a chance to argue, Lu Huan pressed her down and took out an apple from the bag, "I'm peeling this for my future little nephew to eat. Sister, you shouldn't compete with me for this task."
Manman sat back on the bed, her fingers hovering over her husband's phone number for a long time.
……
Laboratory
"Is she alone in the ward?" Lord Yao asked as Lord Jun entered.
Huan'er is accompanying her.
How could he possibly leave her alone in the hospital room? Especially when he had already remembered some things and suspected something.
"Even if Huan'er is not here, I had Secretary Liu send someone to guard the door." Taking a deep breath, his eyes turned cold and solemn, "What are the results of the investigation?"
"Just separated from the specimen. For now, it can be temporarily confirmed that she is no longer bleeding, a blessing in disguise." said Mr. Yao.
However, from the obstetricians' point of view in the hospital, their initial risky decision turned out to be correct. At that time, letting the pregnant woman get enough rest and sleep first was the right thing to do. Even though some danger appeared later on, with their comprehensive protection, the pregnant woman did not suffer a strong direct impact. The pregnant woman's emotions were no longer as strongly anxious as before, and the threat of miscarriage was averted.
"The company of loved ones is very important to her." The obstetrician who was doing the examination for Manman told them, "Although she appears calm on the surface, but from these reactions, whether or not there are family members by her side has the greatest impact on her current pregnancy."
So, last time even if received Jiang Fei's kick on the door, nothing happened. On the contrary, Comrade Jiang Yan was ill, and his wife had a poor appetite and couldn't sleep well, which also affected their little baby.
The shadow of being abandoned by loved ones has always existed in her heart.
A deep sense of guilt floated in the hearts of the two men.
She lowered her head and let it fall onto her sleeve cuff, at that moment when the floodwaters were approaching, her hand grasped it tightly, not letting go.
Deeply moved.
Very deep.
He always complains that she doesn't treat them as real family members.
However, when a crisis really occurred, her actions straightforwardly represented the most sincere emotions.
"Lu Jun." Mr. Yao discussed with him, "My mother is accompanying your mother, due to the traffic congestion, for safety reasons, my younger brother said that they can only arrive in the county town the day after tomorrow. I think we should set the return time for the day after tomorrow afternoon, although it's a bit tiring for the elderly, but it's better for Nang Nang to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
"I think this arrangement is fine."
Listening to his response, Master Yao raised an eyebrow, slightly narrowing it, and a hint of inquiry shone through: "This morning's scene was too chaotic, we didn't have time for a good talk. But, I heard you say 'seen before', what does that mean?"
"That year when the Yangtze River flooded, we followed the army to provide disaster relief in the local area. Do you remember that?" A cold gaze, staring at a distant point.
"This matter..." Mr. Yao was reminded of some fragmented memories by his words, "You and I were assigned to two different troops to carry out the mission."
"I was on a motorboat heading to the front line to gather information when we encountered a group of stranded civilians, so we had to take them aboard. The scene was chaotic at that time, with many injured civilians and soldiers every day, I couldn't remember each one individually."
Mr. Yao could understand the situation at that time, because he had faced a similar situation before. He raised an eyebrow: "You say, you suddenly remembered, it seems like you saw Nangnang around that time?"
"It's not like it should be."
If so, he's really unfortunate; otherwise, he would have acknowledged his sister years ago.
His intuition as an elder brother is even worse than Master Yao's.
It turned out that Yao Ziye was indeed not being thick-skinned when he compared himself to her: "You can't recognize me, which is normal. Didn't you make a bet with me before? You said it was absolutely impossible for it to be her."
Jun Ye's face turned cold, and he twisted up half of his eyebrow: Can't you stop poking at his sore spot?!
Yao Ziye smiled refreshingly: "By the way, how did you suddenly remember this? You went to the disaster area as a soldier to provide support, and Nangnang might have gone on vacation and encountered the flood. It's normal that the two of you accidentally bumped into each other."
"That time, I don't know why, she wasn't wearing a jade pendant either. If she had been wearing it, I would have definitely recognized her."
"This time when we met her again, wasn't she still not wearing a jade pendant?"
"But this time I gave her jade pendant, she has been wearing it on her body."
"That's because she knew it was fake."
"No." His eyebrow twitched coldly.
"Why not?"
"I feel it's not for the same reason."
Yao Ziye looked at him in confusion: "Lu Jun?"
"Do you know?" Changing his tone, "I've always thought the other party's actions were unreasonable. You said before that Yang Le'er was abnormal, and I can understand targeting her. But now that Yang Le'er is dead, why hasn't the other party stopped this kind of targeted behavior?"
This has always been what they are after. Judging from the mistake that the other party has now made in front of Lu's family, it seems that they want to grasp something on Lu's family.
The narrow and long eyes narrowed again, and asked: "What do you think?"
"Firstly, they may have an irreconcilable and deep-seated grudge against our Lu family. However, this possibility is too small. Our Lu family may have some enmity with others, but the current behavior of the other party is only targeting Nang Nang. If hurting Nang Nang can hurt us, then maybe there's a point, but it shouldn't be absolute. I recall Grandfather's teachings to us many times: friends are also enemies, and enemies are also friends, especially in the political circle. Deep-seated grudges and revenge are actually hard to exist for politicians who are full of complexity and cleverness."
"Hmm, what you said makes sense. If it's not because of the deep-seated grudge between families, then why would they want to catch the Lu family off guard? Is it a struggle for power?"
"We in the Lu family are low-key, and it's not that we have to put people to death in social circles. We should focus on doing our own things well, and defense is the main idea advocated by the elderly."
"Not attacking but defending, yet the other side insists on taking the initiative, unless..."
Unless the other side thinks that Lu's family has secretly grasped their weakness.
In addition, the other party repeatedly targeted Manman's behavior, and it can be inferred that Manman may have been unintentionally involved in this matter.
He gently rubbed his brow, unable to wipe away the worry. Yao Ziye said, "If this is true, the other party must be probing us, testing how much we know. If they find out that we actually don't have a grasp on it, perhaps they'll take action against Nang Nang."
"They originally wanted to do it seamlessly, using Yang Le'er and the Yang family. This shows one thing: this opponent is likely to be connected with Yang Le'er. It's not certain whether they are related to Nangnang's disappearance back then." In front of them, a figure seemed to slowly emerge from the water, walking out from behind the scenes.
"Isn't Secretary Liu always investigating Yang Le'er's social connections?"
"Yang Le'er has been in contact with too many people, it's very difficult to investigate. However, with this current speculation." The voice was low and powerful, "I think at least I have an idea of who is responsible, I have a bottom line now."
"What did you say?"
"It must be in the troops I followed."
……
In the afternoon, Yao Zibao sat on a long bench in the hospital corridor, his fingers touching the screen of his mobile phone, his eyebrows furrowed.
Lu Huan ran over and saw him with a worried face, laughing at him: "Mama's boy, missing your mom?"
Too lazy to argue with him, Yao Zibao waved his hand at him like swatting a fly.
The phone rang at this time, and when he saw the incoming call display, Yao Zibao jumped up like a bullet. Lu Huan was startled and saw him running to the hospital entrance without knowing what was going on, and after a while, he came back to his senses and chased after him.
A taxi stopped in front of the county hospital.
A tall girl got out from the back seat and said to the people inside: "Uncle, be careful."
The girl was Lin Jiajing. She chased her to the door and saw Lin Jiajing and Wen Shixuan appear, Lu Huan's eyes widened in shock.
Yao Zibao walked up to the taxi.
Lin Jiajing lifted her head and smiled shyly at him: "Thank you."
Wen Shi Xuan saw this, and together with Yao Zi Bao, bowed: "Thank you, thank you!" After saying thanks twice, he asked: "Which room is Man Man in?"
"I'll take you there." Yao Zibao said, seemingly a bit uneasy as he adjusted his glasses.
"Thank you!" Lin Jiajing and Wen Shixuan quickly grabbed hands again and expressed their gratitude.
There were three of them in a row, Yao Zibao leading the way, followed by two members of the Wen family, walking up the steps and passing by Lu Huan who was standing still.
As they walked past Lu Huan, Lin Jiajing obviously lowered her head. Yao Zibao didn't even dare to look at his brother and quickened his pace. But it was Wen Shixuan who walked ahead, turned around and looked back at Lu Huan: "I remember, he's Manman's younger brother, right?"
"Big Uncle." Lin Jiajing anxiously pulled on Wen Shixuan's sleeve.
Lu Huan's tightly clenched fists had bulging veins.
Wen Shixuan did not expect Lu Huan to have hostility towards him, after all, at that time, Commander Lu came to ask for his daughter back and spoke quite politely.
"Was he trapped in the flood like Manman and not injured?" Wen Shixuan asked Yao Zibao.
He is Manman's younger brother, Wen Shixuan felt that he should ask about his well-being and show some concern.
"No." Yao Zibao looked at him in surprise.
Is it Wen Shixuan's slow reflexes or is Wen Shixuan a bit stupid? Lin Jiajing could sense the situation, but Wen Shixuan was completely unaware.
"No one was hurt, that's the best part. Luckily, luckily." Wen Shixuan said, his tone and expression didn't seem fake at all.
Yao Zibao met Wen Shixuan for the first time, and the impression Wen Shixuan left on him was vastly different from what he had imagined.
The hypocritical old good man, this is what he imagined, so in his eyes, there must be a trace of cunning and sinister.
A pure good man, in front of him, Wen Shi Xuan's eyes are like the cows he saw in the village, simple to the point of being a bit foolish, his line of sight is straight, and it seems that he thinks things through one track.
Anyway, such a Wen Shi Xuan might make him feel slightly less guilty towards his brother Lu Huan.
Yao Zibao walked into Manman's ward and made way for him, looking uncomfortable about showing his face.
Wen Shi Xuan was eager to see his daughter and directly pushed open the door of the ward.
Lin Jiajing walked forward with her head down and whispered: "Sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Yao Zibao smiled wryly and shook his head at her. After she went in, he took a deep breath in his heart and turned to face his brother's furious fist.
"Come here!" Lu Huan dragged him by his collar all the way to the corridor.
He reached out his hand to grab his neck, and Yao Zibao hurriedly called out: "Brother, listen to me first."
"I don't care about your explanation!" Lu Huan threw a punch at his face.
The glasses fell to the ground, Yao Zibao covered one side of his forehead, and this slap hit him near his temple, making him dizzy.
Yao Zibao sat down at the root of the wall, supporting his head with his hand. Lu Huan knew that the previous punch was too heavy, so he could only smash the next punch on the door of the corridor, and then treat the door as a sandbag to punch and kick.
After a daze, Yao Zibao saw that the simple wooden door had been kicked in by his brothers and was now half-destroyed. He cried out: "Hey, I'm begging you, stop! Don't you want to keep this from getting any bigger?"
The hand that had stopped him let out a cold snort: "Now who's the one who doesn't want to make things bigger? Do you think I don't dare?"
"I believe you dare, but listen to me first. I really didn't know she was coming. She only sent me a text message saying she was boarding the plane. And when I received this late text message, it was already morning when we arrived in the county town. She and he set off last night. I haven't contacted her at all."
"If it wasn't for you spreading the news, how would they know my sister is here?" Lu Huan exclaimed excitedly.
"They must have known from other people. According to several text messages she sent me later, I asked her and she said they learned about the bad weather from TV news, they couldn't contact Mianmian, so they were worried and rushed to this side of the county."
"Okay, even if they knew about it from other channels. How do you explain that you have her phone number?"
His straight and stern gaze, his angry eyes, all conveyed a message: compared to Wen Shi Xuan's sudden appearance, the fact that his brother had betrayed him made him even angrier!
This matter will eventually be known anyway.
Yao Zibao silently picked up the glasses that had fallen to the ground, wiped them with his sleeve and blew on them.
"You say!" A furious finger pointed in front of his eyes.
"I think your prohibition order is unreasonable, so I won't carry it out."
The other person's words were like lukewarm water, pouring them on his head made him stunned.
Yao Zibao stood up, his voice was now strong, he put on his glasses and gently pushed away the hand that was pointing at him: "Don't forget. The conflict between your Lu family and them doesn't mean our Yao family needs to have a grudge against them too. We Yao's won't support unreasonable things."
"How can what I say not make sense!" A hand landed on his shoulder, the handsome and youthful face was filled with righteous indignation, "Are you my brother or not? If you are my brother, then you should unconditionally support me!"
"Even if you did something wrong, I have to support you unconditionally? You dare to say this in front of both families." Yao Zibao retorted.
"You think I don't dare?" Lu Huan confronted him head-on, really head-on, so angry that his chest was heaving, "Let's go, we'll go find our brother to reason things out right now."
When Yao Zibao was dragged in front of his two grandfathers, he felt a little scared.
Just like Lu Huan feared his brother's fists, Yao Zibao was also very afraid of Master Yao's fists.
Two masters were talking on the phone with Lu Hedong in the office when they suddenly heard a loud bang at the door, Bang!
It was his own brother kicking the door, and Jun Ye's eyebrows furrowed: "What are you doing?"
Lu Huan was furious and shouted at her brother: "I'll take him to reason with him. He took Wen Shi Xuan to see my sister!"
Listen to this.
"What?" Yao Ye jumped up, his stern eyes shooting towards his younger brother.
Yao Zibao gritted his teeth: "I really didn't know they were coming. They arrived near the county town and then called to inform me. They knew that Sister Manman was definitely here, I think I couldn't hide it from them."
"How did they know to contact you?" asked Mr. Yao.
You're indeed a big brother, your questioning is sharp and to the point, can't be fooled by you.
Lin Jiajing and I are friends.
Yao Zibao's frank and open confession left all three people in the room speechless.
"What's wrong? Why can't I be friends with her? She's not a bad person, one of the top three students in school, good grades, high moral character, and her father is an intellectual. I really can't think of any reason why I couldn't be friends with her."
"Yes, she's still very pretty, a little demon, and you're enchanted at first sight!" Lu Huan showed his teeth to him.
"Lu Huan!" Master Jun shouted.
Headache, no matter what the truth is, maybe Lin Jiajing really has a crush on Yao Zibao, but as for Lin Jiajing herself, there's no reason to stop Yao Zibao from being friends with her.
Yao Ye couldn't find a reason to be dissatisfied with his younger brother's actions for the time being, let alone the Lu family.
"Brother," Yao Zibao said to his elder brother, "She and I are really just friends. Moreover, I have self-awareness and know that she looks down on me."
Yao Ye was surprised, Jun Ye followed him in surprise.
Lu Huan furrowed his two eyebrows.
"Some things, even Master Yao can't say, so Master Jun spoke up instead. With a calm tone, he treated Ya Zi Bao the same way as his own younger brother: "Bao Er, our family's expectations for you and Huan Er at this stage is that we don't want you two to be in a romantic relationship. Because at your age, you're still impulsive and your thoughts are not mature, you don't know what kind of woman you need. Once you've graduated from university, go ahead and find someone you like, our family won't object."
"You've got it wrong." Yao Zibao sighed, "I didn't say I wanted to date her, just that I've seen many beautiful girls like her before. I know my own situation and won't pursue unrealistic fantasies."
Two old men have nothing to say to each other.
Lu Huan clenched his fist, wanting to punch him again: "Is there anyone as stupid as you? What if women look down on you? That's their own blindness. Do you need to still try to please them?"
He stuck his thumb up at the glasses, and Yao Zi Bao suddenly roared back at him: "That's because you've never truly liked someone before! If you really like someone, you're willing to do anything for her. You must be able to understand this kind of feeling! It's not about self-respect or not, it's whether you're willing to pay the price. Besides, she didn't trample on my self-respect!"
"Good boy." Mr. Yao stood up, his palms supporting his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with the way things had turned out with his younger brother.
"Brother, you don't need to say anything, I know what you want to say. You said you and I are different. I think you and I are indeed different. As for her, there's really nothing between us, I won't go chasing after her in the past. When I'm good to her, it's actually because I want to be good to Sister Manman." Yao Zibao placed one hand on his chest, as if pouring out his heart.
Lu Huan's anger grew even greater: "You say you're doing this for the good of my sister, what's good about it?! Aren't you tired of all the trouble in here?"
"You only care about your own feelings, have you ever thought about Manman's feelings? You think what you say is right, have you ever thought that Manman's words are also right?" Yao Zibao pointed at each of his brothers in turn, rarely getting excited to the point where his face turned red. "Manman is the most open-minded person I've ever met, she clearly knows you're forcing her into a difficult position, but she hasn't blamed you guys once! She hasn't! At most, she just wants to use her own strength to prove that what she says is true."
Never, they have never been blamed by me, no.
Lu Huan lowered his head: Manman is a good sister, this goes without saying.
"Baby." Jun Ye said in a gentle voice, "We didn't stop her from meeting with Wen Shi Xuan. So, even if you bring Wen Shi Xuan to see her, it's not a big deal in itself. My brother and I are just representing the parents, concerned about your personal life issues. Since you've repeatedly emphasized that there's nothing between you and Lin Jia Jing, my brother and I choose to believe you."
Yao Zibao felt that he was a passionate and impulsive person, but Jun Ye's calm and composed demeanor instantly extinguished his enthusiasm.
Ginger is old and spicy. Yao Zibao has experienced it.
The emperor is the emperor
Your grandfather's intimidating and awe-inspiring presence is not just due to his cold personality.
He Yaozi Bao - defeated!
Look at his brother again. Yao Ziye has sat down again, with his hands crossed over his forehead, thinking about something that doesn't seem to be related to him either.
"You two go out, we still have things to talk about." Jun Ye reminded his younger brother when sending the guests away, "No matter what, don't fight."
Lu Huan: Hmm? Obviously, when you punched Yao Zibao that one time, there was no mark left behind. How did Brother find out?
After the two younger brothers left the door, the two older brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh: Yao Zibao's words just now were indeed shocking, almost making them unable to defend themselves. This fully shows that young people are formidable.
In short, when Wen Shixuan arrived here, if it wasn't Yao Zibao who informed him, then who could have told Wen Shixuan? It's easy to guess.
"Xiao Shu said that Jiang Zhongxiao accompanied the patient to the troop hospital. But until now, there is no information back."
The tricky thing now is which hospital Jiang Yue has gone to. They can't possibly check every single hospital one by one.
"There is no registration record of Jiang Yue's admission in the temporary troop hospital's online system."
This is also a very suspicious point. In theory, when a patient is admitted to the hospital, they should be registered and the computer should record it at the same time.
Her brother could only temporarily determine: her brother-in-law was trapped. This became the reason why his sister had to rush to see her husband.
Wen Shixuan's arrival isn't necessarily a bad thing. Old Master Lu told them not to interfere, but he didn't say Wen Shixuan couldn't interfere.
……
In the sickroom of convalescence
When Wen Shixuan and others came in, Manman was fiddling with her mobile phone. Because she couldn't get through to her husband for a long time, she became obsessed, thinking that there was something wrong with the phone.
"Man Man Jie." Lin Jiajing shouted.
She looked up and saw them two, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.
"Dad, how did you get here?" As she spoke, Manman got out of bed and was about to move stools for them.
Wen Shi Xuan hastily took two steps forward, and helped her back onto the bed: "You're injured, if you don't rest properly, are you trying to scare us again? We can't take this fright."
The vines just withdrew their feet.
Wen Shixuan dismounted and asked again: "Where are you hurt? Why is the sign outside hanging with obstetrics and gynecology?"
Her face turned bright red, like a big tomato.
Lin Jiajing knew that she was pregnant, and seeing that this matter couldn't be hidden any longer, said to Wen Shixuan: "Big Brother-in-law, Manman's sister is pregnant."
Wen Shi Xuan was overjoyed, as excited as if his own daughter were pregnant. He grasped Meng Meng's hand and swung it vigorously: "Good news, good news! I have to tell others, I'm going to hold my grandson!"
"Dad!" Manman was embarrassed by her father's words and cleared her throat. "Please sit down."
"Alright, alright?!" Wen Shixuan's eyes scanned her belly, worried about his future great-grandchild.
Her face was red to the point of bursting: "The doctor said it's nothing, just some routine checks for safety precautions."
"In that case, Ah Yan can also be at ease." Wen Shi Xuan said.
As soon as she mentioned her husband, Mianmian's nerves suddenly tensed up: "Dad, have you been in touch with him?"
"A Yan called me last night. It was before he boarded the plane, saying that you were in the mountains and couldn't get in touch with you. He asked me to tell you that he went to see a patient, and don't worry." Wen Shi Xuan finished explaining the situation, and asked, "How about it? Can you still not get in touch with A Yan?"
Manman's face suddenly fell.
"This is strange." Wen Shixuan slapped his thigh, "This news about the flood has been broadcast all over the world, how could he not know?"
Lin Jiajing looked at Manman's face which was quite unsightly and reminded Wen Shixuan: "Big Uncle."
Wen Shixuan's eyes lit up as she grasped the meaning behind her words, furrowing her brow. However, she made a major move and said: "Manman, you focus on resting and taking care of your pregnancy. If Dad can find you, he'll definitely be able to help you find Ayan and bring him back."
"Dad——" Mianmian exclaimed in surprise.
If Lu Shang can do something about it, what can Wen Shi Xuan do?
"Don't underestimate your dad." Wen Shixuan patted his own chest, "Have you forgotten the stories I used to tell you when you were little? The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains. It's about perseverance."
Dad has already said so, can't you just agree, Mengmeng?
"Dad, be careful. If we meet bad people, let's hide and avoid them, no need to confront them head-on," said Mianmian.
Wen Shi Xuan burst out laughing: "This is what I taught you, and now you're turning around to teach me!"
The crescent moon is smiling, with a gentle and pleasant smile.
Lin Jiajing listened to them talking and opened up the bag of fruit she had bought at the station, only to see that there were already sliced oranges on the table.
Manman suddenly remembered and said: "Eat an orange, Jiajing. By the way, are you back from a leave of absence?"
"Yes." Lin Jiajing replied.
"This won't delay your studies." Manman felt apologetic.
"Even if I didn't come to visit you, Brother-in-law and I would have definitely come over this morning anyway," Lin Jiajing said with a mysterious smile.
"What does it mean?" asked Manman in surprise.
"Vine sister, don't you know? Aunties were caught by the public security bureau, saying they stole a car. They notified me and big uncle to come bail them out."
Manman listened carefully, and when she heard that Wenfeng sister and others drove Yao Ye's car to the Public Security Bureau, claiming to be kind-hearted people who helped Yao Ye park his car at the Public Security Bureau to find the owner, a mouthful of water suddenly sprayed out from her mouth.
Lin Jiajing handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth, and couldn't help but smile: "I heard this idea was from Sister Haosnow."
Wen Haoxue came up with this idea which is somewhat foolish, but even more foolish are those who believed in Wen Haoxue's words.
"Right, Manman sister, I've counted and counted, but there's still one missing, Yunyun sister. Where's Yunyun sister?" Lin Jiajing asked.
"She's in the orthopedic ward. Sprained her foot, they say she needs to be observed for two days." said Manman.
Lin Jiajing hesitated about whether or not to visit Wang Yunyun, because Wang Yunyun was also a unique individual.
Manman seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled: "Go see her. She doesn't dare make a sound now."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Jiajing's eyes.
If it were usual, Wang Yun would have evaluated the hospital with a proud attitude. Now Wang Yun dare not show off her professional demeanor. Because she lost face in front of her crush. The face she lost in front of Master Yao was so thorough that she didn't want to live anymore.
Lin Jia heard this from Manman's mouth and laughed happily.
Wen Shi Xuan received a call from the Public Security Bureau and told Lin Jia Jing: "You stay here with her, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau for a trip."
"Dad, why didn't you tell their husbands?" Mianmian didn't like them ordering her father around.
"Mei Mei Jie, Uncle and them feel ashamed to come. So they make an excuse that we are closer from here, let Da Shu Zi come over." Lin Jia Jing said on behalf of Wen Shi Xuan.
Seeing his daughter wanting to say something more, Wen Shi Xuan said: "Man Man, forget it. Anyway, it's just bail, not like we have to pay or anything."
However, there is one thing that my husband and I have discussed in the car. First of all, the lawyer we asked to bail them out was our invitation, but all the expenses incurred in between will be borne by them. Moreover, when bailing them out, we made it clear that after they come out, they cannot disturb sister Yan. Lin Jiajing added from behind.
It seems that with Lin Jiajing's help by his side, even his own father has become smarter.
Manman grasped Lin Jiajing's hand, and Yue'er's eyebrows opened up: "Jiajing, you're not like the first time I saw you, you've become more cheerful."
Wen Shixuan disagreed with this and said to his daughter, "You're wrong, Jiajing. She was fierce from the start."
Lin Jiajing was just afraid of giving birth. Once she got in touch with it for a long time, she gradually revealed her original fierce side. Now the Wen family people are also unwilling to get close to Lin Jiajing.
After Wen Shi Xuan left, the two sisters sat face to face and chatted for a while.
Manman's phone rang, and when she picked it up, she heard Jiang Mei's voice.
"Manman, how are you? Are you okay? As soon as the road is clear, I'll come see you right away." Jiang Mei said anxiously over the phone, having probably spent a long time trying to get through.
"Second sister, it's okay, you don't have to rush over to see me."
She heard that nothing was wrong, Jiang Mei put her mind at ease for the time being and said: "A Yan will accompany you."
"The moon's brow furrowed: 'He left last night, before I arrived in the county town.'"
"What about my dad?"
According to what people here say, Dad also passed away with the patient.
"Have you contacted those two?"
"Can't get in touch." Teeth clenched behind lips, biting out a blood mark.
Jiang Mei didn't think about her own problems at all now, and only worried about her father and brother: "Why can't they be contacted? Could something have happened?"
Man Man didn't know how to answer.
This matter is so complicated that she doesn't know how to answer.
One thing is certain: Jiang Yue is finding ways to cut off her connection with her husband.
Jiang Mei's eyes widened in anger as she grasped the implied meaning behind the silence, "I know, I know everything! She not only threatened and intimidated me, but now she won't even spare my dad and brother!"
"Second sister, calm down." Manman was worried that Jiang Mei would do something out of line in her rage.
"Don't worry, Manman. I know this person, she won't give up until she achieves her goal. And as for our Jiang family, it's not up to her to threaten us for a lifetime! I'll expose all the dirty things she's done right now! She had me thrown into prison, but I admit it!"
Manman was indeed anxious and thought about how to calm down Jiang Mei's out-of-control emotions first.
On the phone, suddenly a "bang".
"Ah Mei, I'm begging you, don't mention this to anyone. Have mercy on our son's behalf. If both of us end up in prison, what will happen to him?"
