Early the next morning, Luo Yubai caught a cold and had chills all over. The reason was that he had been curled up and freezing all night.
Li Jingchen drove him to the hospital for an injection. Luo Yubai wanted to go to the newest First People's Hospital, but Li Jingchen said no, just go to the Maternity and Children's Hospital.
Luo Yubai was confused. He was neither a woman nor a child, so why should he go to the Maternity and Children's Hospital?
Just as he was about to speak, his nose started to run down. Luo Yubai felt aggrieved while blowing his nose.
"My sister-in-law went too far. She took my quilt to cover you, and she didn't even cover me with a blanket when she left."
Li Jingchen glanced at him and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't your sister-in-law call you to apologize this morning? She didn't mean it. She forgot when she left."
"Humph, you're not the one who's cold. You're covered with two quilts, so you're warm." Luo Yubai muttered softly.
Li Jingchen's hand touched the brand new gray scarf around his neck. When he saw this scarf this morning, he felt warm in his heart. As for the black one, he sent it for dry cleaning. Then Li Jingchen took out his mobile phone and transferred three dollars to Luo Yubai. Ten thousand dollars.
"For the compensation your sister-in-law gave you."
Luo Yubai opened WeChat and readily accepted the money. He immediately smiled and said, "It's good for me to have a runny nose, man."
Li Jingchen smiled slightly and said nothing more.
When they arrived at the Maternity and Children's Hospital, Li Jingchen thought of taking Luo Yubai to register first, and then went to see Jiang Tong's sister under the pretext of taking Luo Yubai to see a doctor.
It was with this purpose that I brought Luo Yubai here.
After all, he couldn't carry things into the house. He was divorced, so he couldn't go over to visit Sister Jiang Tong.
But what happened last night had to be explained clearly, causing some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Just as Li Jingchen and Luo Yubai were waiting for the elevator, a cold voice came from behind: "Make way."
Li Jingchen and Luo Yubai both turned around and saw a female doctor in a white coat, accompanied by two young nurses.
Luo Yu's sharp white eyes saw her name on Ning Jian'an's badge and said, "Brother, this is my sister-in-law's sister. I heard Xu Miaomiao say her name is Ning Jian'an."
Ning Jianan has already gotten on the elevator.
Li Jingchen was the first to speak politely, "Hello."
Ning Jianan ignored Li Jingchen.
Li Jingchen added, "I am Jiang Tong's ex-husband. My brother has a cold. I'm here to take him to see a doctor. I have something by the way that I want to talk to you alone."
Ning Jianan glanced at Li Jingchen expressionlessly, "That's right, I also have something to say to you."
Li Jingchen, "."
Luo Yubai went to the general surgery department first, waiting for Li Jingchen. In the hospital cafe, Ning Jianan took off her mask.
Li Jingchen glanced at this face casually. It was somewhat similar to Jiang Tong's, but not as beautiful as Jiang Tong's.
Ning Jian'an got straight to the point: "As Tongtong's mother-in-law, I hope that your ex-husband can be a little more sensible. Now that we are divorced, we can live well together and stop pestering my sister. Yesterday, I saw you sending ambiguous messages to my sister late at night. , I just replied to you, she was very angry, and I felt it was not worth it to have a big fight with me because of you, an outsider. After all, you are just an ex-husband, nothing more."
Li Jingchen's face showed no emotion or anger, and he waited patiently for Ning Jianan to finish his accusation.
He then said: "I was rude in sending the message last night. When I got married to her, I never heard her mention having a sister. If I had known that you two had such a good relationship, I should have visited her earlier."
Ning Jianan smiled sarcastically, "You don't need to give me this high-sounding lie. I have a good relationship with my sister. You don't need to doubt it."
"It's been three years since your divorce. You are rich and powerful now. We are too high to reach you. Letting my sister go will be a good thing for your family."
"She and I——"
Just as Li Jingchen was about to say something else, he was interrupted by Ning Jianan, "You don't have to say it's useless, I just want to tell you that it is impossible for my sister to remarry you, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with your Li family anymore. If you If you continue to pester my sister, will your mother not agree? As her sister, I firmly disagree."
Li Jingchen: "..."
Ning Jianan had already left, and Li Jingchen frowned. He seemed to be bombarded by Jiang Tong's sister before he said anything.
Then Li Jingchen turned around and went to find Li Dongzan.
office--
Li Jingchen folded his hands around his chest and leaned his back on the table.
"Who is Ning Jian'an? Why does she have the same last name as my grandma? Since we are colleagues with you, did you already know that this is your sister-in-law's biological sister, but you didn't tell me?"
"No, brother, please listen to my explanation," Li Dongzan licked his lips guiltily, "I only found out recently."
Li Dongzan told the truth that Ning Jianan had a car accident and Jiang Tong had to give her a blood transfusion. Immediate relatives could not give her blood transfusions, so the two sisters recognized each other.
A flash of annoyance flashed in Li Jingchen's eyes. Her sister had a car accident and lost so much blood. She must have been scared, but he didn't stay with her for the first time. Jiang Tong didn't tell him if something like this happened.
Li Dongzan added, "I thought I would tell you when you come back from your business trip."
Li Jingchen came back to his senses and rubbed his eyebrows, "I just met her sister. Her personality is unpredictable. She choked me without saying anything."
Li Dongzan said: "Jian An's character is like that. She speaks more straightforwardly. Because she has had a hard time these years, her character is more sensitive! If she conflicts with you, I will apologize for her and you. Brother, please don't I'm arguing with Jian An."
Li Jingchen:?
From Li Dongzan's gentle mouth to Jian An, there was a hint of disbelief in Li Jingchen's eyes as he examined Li Dongzan.
"Is it possible that you like your sister-in-law's sister? On New Year's Eve, you spent time with her just to have dinner with her?"
Li Dongzan's ears suddenly turned red and he nodded shyly.
"I've liked her for a long time, but I haven't caught up with her yet."
Li Jingchen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
He wanted to look through the family tree to see if his ancestors owed anything to their Jiang family?
He has been tortured by Jiang Tong until he almost has a nervous breakdown. Why does Li Dongzan like Jiang Tong's biological sister, but the other party still despises him? Why is Li Dongzan so weak?
"Not catching up means there is no fate. Why don't you consider changing to someone else? Which serious doctor would like the sister of his brother's ex-wife?"
Li Jingchen was just joking, but Li Dongzan became serious.
"I just like her. I have thought about it. When Jian An and I get married, she will be mine. Just follow my call. Jian An calls you big brother. There is no need to change the relationship between the two sisters. , should be called sister, still call me sister, should be called sister, should be called sister."
Li Jingchen didn't expect Li Dongzan to think so long-term. He hadn't even thought so long-term.
But seeing Li Dongzan's happy expression, Li Jingchen said, "Come on."
…
Night falls.
Because Li Jingchen didn't come back during the Lantern Festival, Zheng Yan specially organized a party this time and asked her sister Zheng Hong to come and have dinner with her.
Li Jingchen came back with Li Dongzan and Luo Yubai. Li Jingchen calmly explained to Zheng Yan that Luo Yubai was sick and sent him to the hospital, and they came back together.
"Son, why do you have a cold?" Zheng Hong touched Luo Yubai's face distressedly.
Luo Yubai had goosebumps, "Mom, I'm fine, I can't die."
"Ah, bah, the first month of the year hasn't come out yet, don't say such depressing words."
"Okay, let's all sit down and eat," Zheng Yan said, "Dongzan, please sit down too."
"Thank you, auntie," Li Dongzan rolled up his sleeves, "I'll go help get the dishes and chopsticks."
Zheng Hong twisted Luo Yubai's arm, "Look at me, how talented and quick-witted I am, but you, you know how to play all day long."
"I don't play every day!" Luo Yubai immediately didn't want to talk to Zheng Hong.
While eating, Zheng Yan served Li Jingchen some food and talked about his car.
"Why did you let Jiang Tong drive the car? No wonder I told your aunt why I didn't see your car parked in the garage."
Li Jingchen frowned and pretended not to hear. He had just come back and he was very annoyed when he heard such words.
"Just eat, don't mention it."
However, Zheng Yan refused and said, "Today in front of your aunt, I have to talk about you. We have been divorced for three years, and that is your ex-wife! Whose boss gave his ex-wife a car to drive? He is not afraid of being laughed at. .”
Li Jingchen instantly lost his appetite for food. He put down his chopsticks and asked calmly, "Is it illegal to prescribe it to my ex-wife?"
"you--!"
"Honghong, look at your nephew. I'm so angry. He can't forget that woman."
Zheng Hong helped her sister, "Jingchen... your mother is right. They are divorced. You shouldn't lend your car to your ex-wife. You look so handsome and rich. Don't focus on Jiang Tong." Well, a good man should not hang himself from a tree, and a good horse should not turn back to eat grass."
"Auntie, I am not a horse."
After Li Jingchen finished speaking, he left the table.
Li Dongzan stood up and said, "I'm going to see my brother."
Luo Yubai had no appetite to eat anymore, so he stood up and said to Zheng Hong, "Mom, just say less, and auntie, my brother had a fever yesterday and he was just fine. You can't let him have a hot meal. He's been wandering around all day." Is it easy for him to run around?”
After saying that, he got up and left.
Zheng Yan looked at Zheng Hong helplessly: "Look, it's like this, and it's all my fault."
Zheng Hong patted Zheng Yan on the shoulder, "Sister, don't be angry. Young people are ignorant. Tomorrow it will be nineteen again, so we can go see dad!"
Zheng Yan calmed down a bit, "Another year has passed so quickly."
"That's not true."
Every year on the 19th day of the first lunar month, it is the birthday of Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong’s father, Zheng Guoshen. The old man is over 70 years old this year.
But the old man is very weird and doesn't like to get close to people as much as Mr. Li does.
Zheng Guoshen lives alone in his hometown all year round. He doesn't like others to disturb him, and he doesn't like to make phone calls. Every year, Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong go there for a formality, throw some money and show their filial piety before leaving. .
If you stay there and don't leave, the old man will beat people! Cursing!
After all, he is his biological father, and it is impossible not to visit him once a year. Every time at this time, Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong get worried.
Got to be beaten again!
The next day.
Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong set out for Fengcheng early in the morning.
I came all the way to see my biological father, but as soon as I entered the door, several flower pots fell towards me.
"You go, didn't I tell you that if you can't find Afu, don't come to see me!"
"Dad, just accept the fact that mom has died a long time ago!" Zheng Hong said helplessly, "It's been so many years, and mom left a suicide note -"
ah! Before Zheng Hong could finish her words, another flowerpot hit hard, hitting Zheng Hong's feet, making Zheng Hong step back in fright.
With tears in his eyes, Zheng Guoshen said tremblingly, "My Afu will not die! She will come back to me sooner or later!"
Neither Zheng Yan nor Zheng Hong dared to speak.
It can be seen that the old man can't hold on for a few more years. He is getting thinner and his hands are shaking every year. He still wants to see Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong's biological mother.
Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong are fraternal twin sisters born five minutes apart. Their biological father is Zheng Guoshen and their biological mother is named Ning Fu.
When the two were just born, they were taken away by the vicious mistress who admired Zheng Guoshen.
In order to drive a wedge between Zheng Guoshen and Ning Fu, the mistress bribed the midwife at the time and lied to Ning Fu that both of your children died in infancy!
Ning Fu collapsed. However, at that time, Zheng Guoshen was deceived by the mistress and thought that Ning Fu was thinking about her childhood sweetheart, so he was indifferent to Ning Fu.
Frustrated with her husband, Nymph left a suicide note and left completely, disappearing without a trace.
At first Zheng Guoshen didn't take it seriously, thinking that such a wanton woman would die as soon as she died. However, when the mistress was fifty years old, she was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer...
On his deathbed, the vicious mistress discovered her conscience and told Zheng Guoshen all the truth about that year!
Zheng Guoshen collapsed and regretted, and realized that he had misunderstood Ning Fu, but it was too late. In the vast sea of people, how could he find his long-lost wife.
As he grew older, Zheng Guoshen's memory became worse and worse. Gradually, he no longer recognized anyone and forgot many things, but he only remembered Nying Fu...
The old man had a bad temper, cursed a lot, and didn't like to see people. He just liked to sit alone on a wicker chair, swaying and looking into the distance, waiting for the nymph to come back.
As for Zheng Yan and Zheng Hong, they don’t look alike because they are fraternal twins. Zheng Hong looks like his father, Zheng Guoshen, and Zheng Yan looks like her mother, Nymph…
So much so that every time he saw Zheng Yan, Zheng Guoshen went crazy and asked her if she had stolen Ning Fu's face. He even pinched Zheng Yan's neck and asked her anxiously where his Afu was!
It made Zheng Yan not want to come every time. She always came with her sister Zheng Hong, otherwise she would not dare to come by herself.
"Dad, I left the money at the door for you, let's go!"
The old man's eyes were dull, and he was still mumbling: Afu, my Afu...
The sisters drove away.
In the car, Zheng Hong shook the photo in her hand and said, "With this extremely yellowed old photo, my father asked us to find our mother. It would be even harder than climbing to the sky! If you ask me, my mother would have been there long ago." died."
More than twenty years have passed, and Ning Fu is over seventy like Zheng Guoshen. It is estimated that even if she did not commit suicide, she would have died of old age or illness.
Zheng Yan also thought so. Her biological mother must have died a long time ago. "It's not that we sisters are unfilial! Just like the old man, hey, I don't dare to let the children come over, otherwise they will beat, scold, throw basins and No one can bear it, no good person can take care of it."
Zheng Hong sighed, "Let's just bear with it. After all, it's our dad. His body and bones are getting worse every year. He has only a few years left to live. Let him take a good path."
Zheng Yan hummed, her eyes filled with sadness. She was angry, hateful and distressed towards this father! But after all, it was his biological father.
Zheng Yan is still very traditional in this regard. The white-haired old man's eyes are filled with tears of missing his wife. How could a daughter not be touched!
But in the vast sea of people, how to find a person who left a suicide note and disappeared for more than 20 years? What's more, at that time, the Internet was not developed.
After returning, Zheng Yan and Li Jingchen talked about the matter.
"Your aunt and I drove for six hours to Fengcheng to visit your grandpa... His health is getting worse year by year, and he has only a few years left to live. My only wish is to see your grandma."
Li Jingchen took the yellowed photo and raised his eyebrows, "This is the only photo? Where can I find it? I really thought it could go to the sky or go to the sea."
"Mom, this is not because you have many connections! You are now the most developed and richest in our family. If you can't find it, let alone your younger brothers and sisters, you can help me find him."
Li Jingchen pursed her thin lips. As for her eccentric grandfather, she remembered that when she was a child, she and her brothers and sisters went to see him, but he scolded him and drove him away.
"Mom, please, just in case you find it."
"I'll keep an eye on it." Li Jingchen said and put the photo in his pocket.
