Chapter 62 Visiting the Sick

Lin You is not good at socializing, and facing the enthusiastic Uncle Cheng, she could only smile and nod.

Perhaps most of the older generation are social toughs, and they can talk endlessly when chatting about family matters.

Lin You really didn't expect that Uncle Cheng and her, whom she had just met, could chat for ten minutes without repeating themselves.

Most of the talk was about his past with Uncle Lin You in the army, and he also politely greeted Lin You's family.

There was a convenience store across the street, so Lin You asked Uncle Cheng to wait for a moment.

She ran to the convenience store and bought two bottles of water. "Uncle, have some water."

Uncle Cheng happened to say that he was thirsty, so he took the water and smiled with increasing satisfaction.

"By the way, are you here looking for Haohao?" Uncle Cheng asked after drinking the water.

Lin You glanced at Qianhe Company behind him, his face full of surprise.

"Cheng Hao...he works here?"

Uncle Cheng was also stunned for a moment, and then a hint of understanding and shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

He paused, his smile undiminished, "Yes, Haohao works here. This company... pays very well."

Lin You nodded in response, "Yes, Qianhe Company is a very powerful company. But I'm not here to see him today. I'm here to help the company deliver information."

Uncle Cheng: "Oh...have you delivered all the information?"

Lin You sighed regretfully, "No. The receptionist said that small orders like this still have to be sold through the store. I can't even enter the door of this company."

She was just complaining casually, and when Uncle Cheng heard it, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you... talk to Haohao about this?"

Lin You shook his head. "I won't bother him anymore. Besides... he's in the hospital now. I was just about to go see him."

"Hospitalization?" Uncle Cheng was stunned. Now it was his turn to be surprised.

Lin You asked suspiciously, "Don't you know he's in the hospital?"

Uncle Cheng laughed dryly and rolled his eyes.

"Yes, of course I know. I'm old now, and I forgot about it when I was distracted. I came here to ask his boss to ask for leave for him."

It's a reasonable argument and there's nothing wrong with it.

Lin You responded, "Uncle Cheng, do you want to go to the hospital to see him? If so, we'll go together..."

"No."

Uncle Cheng answered clearly and concisely, but after he finished speaking, he realized that his answer seemed to be too straightforward.

He made amends, "What I meant is that I have something else to do and can't go today. I feel relieved to have you accompany him."

Lin You: “…Oh, okay.”

After saying goodbye to Uncle Cheng, Lin You walked towards the subway station.

She walked a distance and looked back, and saw Uncle Cheng standing next to his electric scooter and making a phone call.

When she turned around, Uncle Cheng was still waving at her from afar.

In the single luxury ward, Cheng Hao was talking on the phone while looking through the documents handed to him by Secretary Liu.

"Did you meet Lin You?"

Cheng Hao frowned and paused flipping through the documents.

Uncle Cheng spoke like a machine gun, scolding him all over the place.

"Haohao, you're already in your forties, so I usually don't say anything to you. But, we, the Cheng family, can't be scornful of the poor and in love with the rich!"

"Xiaoyou was introduced by your cousin. Although her financial situation is not as good as ours, I have seen that this girl is attentive and sensible, respectful of her elders, and well-behaved and gentle!"

"It's more than enough for a rough old man like you. Can't you just get along with others properly? Why do you have to bully girls?"

When Uncle Cheng started talking about people, Cheng Hao could hardly get a word in.

After he said he was tired, Cheng Hao rubbed his aching temple and spoke slowly.

"Dad, let me remind you again, I'm over 30, don't call me Haohao..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Uncle Cheng.

"Whether you're thirty or forty, you're still my son. I can call you whatever I want, and you have to obey my orders!"

Cheng Hao: “…”

Cheng Hao was helpless in dealing with this retired old man who insisted on doing what he said.

He skipped over the question that had been discussed countless times but had not been resolved, and said:

"Xiaoyou and I...were getting along well. I didn't bully her."

"Isn't it possible that I can't even get into your company's door if I don't bully you?"

Uncle Cheng sneered, "Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise you would have exposed me."

Cheng Hao was shocked for a moment, then asked Uncle Cheng what he meant.

Uncle Cheng recounted the entire incident and then continued:

"You've been doing so well in the past few years, so I understand if you're afraid of scaring the girl. But since you've made it big, you should help if you can. It's just a small matter, so don't let the girl feel wronged."

Cheng Hao agreed with him on this matter and responded very straightforwardly.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Hao asked Secretary Liu to leave with the remaining information.

The secretary looked puzzled. "But these documents are urgent. If we don't deal with them today, I'm afraid it will delay the project progress."

Cheng Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of joy in his tone.

"A friend is coming over soon, so it's not convenient to handle work in front of her. I'll call you after she goes back, and you can come back then."

Secretary Liu couldn't hide his surprise when he heard this, but he was shocked in his heart, but he knew better than to ask any more questions.

He was just a little curious about what kind of friend could make the workaholic Mr. Cheng put down the documents that needed to be processed urgently.

Secretary Liu put the remaining information into his briefcase, said hello to Cheng Hao, and left the ward.

When Lin You got off the subway, it was already past noon.

She thought about it and decided to call Cheng Hao first.

"Manager Hu said he saw you checking in last night. I'm at the hospital entrance and will be upstairs in a moment. I wanted to ask, did you have lunch?"

She was as direct and straightforward as ever, and Cheng Hao was not surprised at all.

He said calmly, "No."

Lin You breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was a good thing he asked first.

"So what did the doctor say you can eat? I'll bring it up for you."

Cheng Hao thought for a moment and said, "The doctor said there's nothing to avoid, so it's all fine."

Lin You was a little unconvinced. He was already in the hospital, but he didn't have any dietary restrictions?

She thought that Cheng Hao looked mature and steady, but she didn't expect that when he was sick, he couldn't control his mouth like most people.

Lin You did not refute him immediately, but just responded softly.

But after all, he is treating a patient, and you can't just bring him some food that is not suitable for patients.

She first went to the flower shop next to the hospital to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then went to the restaurant to pack up some porridge and some side dishes.

Following the floor and room number sent by Cheng Hao, she found the last ward in the corridor.

She held flowers in one hand and food in the other, standing at the door and looking inside.

Cheng Hao saw her as soon as he turned around.

The light blue dress made her skin look even whiter, and her facial features were clear and clean, especially her eyes, which gave off a peaceful and indifferent otherworldly mood. Perhaps because she had walked for a while, a light pink appeared on her cheeks, adding a touch of color to this otherworldly mood.

He thought his father was right.

A girl like this is worth getting along with.
