Chapter 191 They Came to Our Door
Chapter 191 They Came to Our Door
Song Yafei was so disliked by such a pretty girl that Lin Qiuran and I almost couldn't help but laugh.
However, Song Yafei has always respected Grandpa Song, but she is just too busy with work to be by his side.
I don't mind the old man's teasing. I don't know how Lin Qiuran and Grandpa Song have so much to talk about.
While they were talking, I took Song Yafei aside and gave her the gift bag that Grandpa Song had given me.
"Grandpa brought this, you can take it back."
Song Yafei didn't take it. "Since it's from Grandpa, you should keep it. It's a token of Grandpa's affection."
I refuse to accept this. I never meant it; I said I would have no more contact with the Song family.
Seeing my firm stance, Song Yafei didn't insist that I accept it. She took it from me, opened it, and glanced at it.
"Wow! This old man is quite generous, giving you his most treasured possessions. It seems he really likes you."
I ignored her teasing. Later, Lin Qiuran and I tried to persuade Grandpa Song to go back to the hospital, but he refused.
In the end, Song Yafei used her trump card to bring Grandpa Song back to the hospital.
After Grandpa returned to the hospital, it was almost time for dinner, so we packed our things.
I asked Lin Qiuran to pick up Wu Qian and have dinner together, but for some reason, Lin Qiuran hesitated and refused.
"I think I'll go home to eat. I don't enjoy my food if Xiaoqian can't see me!"
I've been bombarded with another dose of PDA!
The couple had a deep affection for each other, so I didn't think much of it and didn't stop them.
Lin Qiuran told me before she left, "I made an appointment with Sister Mei to eat together. She'll be here soon. Enjoy your meal."
What's this kid up to?
Sure enough, Hu Mei arrived just a few minutes after he left.
She was driving a bright red convertible, which was very eye-catching.
I had just locked the gate when I told her what Lin Qiuran had said.
Hu Mei couldn't help but chuckle, "This kid! He's done for, he's fallen for Wu Qian."
I know she was just joking. Actually, what we orphans envy most is a harmonious family.
We all felt an indescribable envy towards Lin Qiuran.
Hu Mei started the car and asked me what I wanted to eat. I had no opinion and let her decide.
Hu Mei thought for a moment, "I remember, our favorite place used to be a small stir-fry restaurant next to the orphanage, and also the barbecue that we couldn't afford before. Why don't we go and try it, and reminisce?"
I readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, we ran into Lin Qiuran when we arrived, but he seemed lost in thought and didn't even notice us.
Hu Mei was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong with this kid? Wasn't he supposed to be going home? What's he doing here?"
I'm completely baffled and have no idea what's going on.
Hu Mei and I went up to greet Lin Qiuran, which startled him, as he was in a daze.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Didn't you say you were going home to be with your wife? What are you doing here?"
When Hu Mei asked Lin Qiuran, I clearly saw a flash of panic on his face.
"Oh, it's just that Xiaoqian was craving something to eat, so I came to buy some."
"Your home is in the east, and this shop is in the west. Why did you come all the way here to buy barbecue?"
Lin Qiuran scratched his head, "Isn't it because their food is delicious!"
Lin Qiuran's words were full of lies. The shop was so far from his home that the food would be cold by the time he got back, and Wu Qian wouldn't be able to eat it.
Just then, his skewers were finished, and the shopkeeper handed them to him. Lin Qiuran paid and was about to leave.
"I won't disturb you two on your date!"
Then he ran off laughing, and I watched him leave with some worry.
"Is he in trouble?"
Although Hu Mei met Lin Qiuran late, she could still tell that something was wrong with him.
trouble?
In Lin Qiuran's world, interpersonal relationships are relatively simple.
The only thing that could cause him trouble that he couldn't resolve, and that he had to keep from us, that I can think of is the Dong family and her ex-fiancé.
But hasn't the matter already been resolved?
What other trouble could there be?
Hu Mei noticed my worry and asked me, "Should we go and ask?"
I shook my head. I know Lin Qiuran's personality.
If he doesn't want to talk, there's nothing you can do.
Moreover, he may not necessarily want to reveal anything in front of Hu Mei.
I picked up the menu. "Let's order something to eat first."
……
It was quite late when I got home after eating, so I called Lin Qiuran.
I told him on the phone that I wasn't feeling well and asked him to take me to the hospital, and then I sat on the sofa and waited for him.
That phone call just now made me even more certain that Wu Qian wasn't home.
Normally, if I call Lin Qiuran to ask for his help, Wu Qian will say a few words on the phone.
But there was none tonight, not even the sound of a child crying.
This makes me a little worried.
Lin Qiuran was very fast, but when she rushed to my house, she was a little surprised to see me sitting on the sofa unharmed!
"Tian, how are you? Come on, let's go to the hospital."
I patted the sofa next to me, where two dozen beers were already prepared.
Lin Qiuran seemed to understand now that I was alright.
Although they didn't understand what was going on, they still listened to me and sat down next to me.
I looked at him seriously. I should be the one asking you, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qiuran quickly realized my purpose in doing so.
In the stillness of the night, it's the perfect time to pour out one's heart's troubles, and with just the two of us, there's even less to hide.
Lin Qiuran sat down on the floor from the sofa, pulled the beer to her side, and opened it without a second thought, downing the whole bottle in one gulp.
I couldn't drink with him, I just stayed quietly by his side.
After downing the second bottle of wine, he sadly revealed, "Xiaoqian and the child are both gone."
I frowned. "What do you mean? Where did they go?"
"They went back to their hometown with their mother-in-law."
Wu Qian has always been understanding and never abandoned Lin Qiuran during his most difficult time. This time, something even more serious must have happened.
"Is it related to the Dong family?"
Lin Qiuran looked up at me in surprise, probably not expecting me to guess.
He nodded dejectedly.
"Have you met Miss Dong?"
Lin Qiuran shook her head. "No, why would I see her? Everything has been resolved, and I don't want to mention her at all."
I don't think Lin Qiuran is lying about this. When that incident happened, he refused to even see anyone.
"why?"
Lin Qiuran also said she didn't understand, "The Dong family suddenly came to our door and warned Xiaoqian to keep an eye on me and not to provoke Miss Dong."
“But I’ve never gone to see that person, so what does it have to do with me? Xiaoqian and her mother-in-law were terrified, and even the child was crying loudly.”
"That's why my mother-in-law wanted to take Wu Qian and the child home, firstly to avoid them, and secondly to give me time to sort things out."
