For three years while Xie Qinghui was abroad, Su Ruowan respectfully cared for his elders at home and even subsidized his living expenses with her own money. However, upon his return, he proposed a...
The incoming call was a string of numbers, a local number that was not in Su Ruowan's address book.
Generally, if the call is marked as harassment, Su Ruowan will not answer it directly. She will only answer the one without the mark.
This number has no markings.
Su Ruowan answered, "Hello, who is this?"
"Ruowan, it's me, Zhuan." Zhuan introduced himself. "You haven't forgotten, right?"
"Senior Zhu? Of course I haven't forgotten. Are you going back to Fengcheng?" Su Ruowan remembered that this was an alumnus of their medical university and a senior two grades higher than her.
Su Ruowan still remembers that he studied surgery. Because of his outstanding grades, he completed his undergraduate studies two years ahead of schedule and also passed the doctoral examination.
He's a medical genius.
Why did you suddenly come back to Fengcheng?
"Yes, I've accepted the job at Fengcheng People's Hospital. There's a welcoming banquet for me tomorrow evening at 7:00. I wonder if you're free to come and join in the fun."
“…”
People's Hospital?
The hospital where Wen Jing works?
Could it be that he is about to become Wen Jing's colleague?
While Su Ruowan was distracted, Zhu An, who hadn't received her response, became anxious. "Ruowan, you're not going to give me this face, are you? I haven't been back to Fengcheng for several years, and there aren't many people here. Just the few of you, is that okay?"
"That Wen Jing from the nursing school, she's your good friend, right? How about asking her to come along?"
In order to get Su Ruowan to agree, Zhu An racked his brains.
Su Ruowan came back to her senses, "No need, she is studying abroad and won't be back until next month."
"Then...it's settled. I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow night?" Zhu An said.
"No need, just tell me the address. I'm very familiar with Fengcheng." Su Ruowan declined.
"Alright, then I'll call you tomorrow after those guys decide where to go."
"good."
"See you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ruowan glanced at Huo Shengnian beside him. He was sitting there with one hand resting on the car window, tapping his index and middle fingers without any rhythm.
Su Ruowan said apologetically, "Huo Shengnian, I can't have dinner with you at home tomorrow. A senior who I haven't contacted for many years is going back to Fengcheng to work. He will be Wen Jing's colleague in the future. I just promised him that I would attend his welcoming banquet."
"Well, are family members allowed to come?" Huo Shengnian turned his head to look at her and asked calmly.
He had good hearing. The other person was a man, and after not seeing her for many years, he called her quite cordially, calling her Ruowan directly.
On the contrary, he, the legally recognized and protected husband, still called her by her full name.
Suddenly he remembered what his grandmother had warned him before. She said she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch her in three months.
His grandmother really underestimated him.
Huo Shengnian wanted to catch someone, but was he afraid that he couldn't catch a woman?
He was able to let the woman run away because he never thought of catching her, okay?
"?"
Su Ruowan raised her eyes. She thought that someone like Huo Shengnian, who was blind, would not want to attend that kind of party.
Otherwise, his massage parlor would not have been located in such a remote place, at the end of an alley.
Even if you hand out flyers, people may still find your store hard to find and won't come to patronize it at all.
Of course, he had already made a lot of money. Just these two customers were enough to feed and drink him for a long time.
If I save a little more, it will be enough for my whole life.
"Do you want to go?" Su Ruowan asked him.
"Whether I want to or not isn't the point. The point is whether you're willing to take it with you, and whether you'll be bothered by me not being able to see it and losing face for you."
"How could that be? If I disliked you for that, I wouldn't have gotten the marriage certificate with you that day. Besides, I can't wait to show you around. You don't know how beautiful you are. You're so beautiful that it only makes me proud, not embarrassed."
"I'm worried that when your eyesight recovers, you'll regret it when you see how ugly I am, even worse than the girl you went on a blind date with that day."
“…”
These words greatly pleased Huo Shengnian's vanity.
His expression relaxed a lot, not as serious as before.
Su Ruowan's words were so sincere that Huo Shengnian believed them a lot.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance." He saw how she looked the first time they met.
In her words, if he had despised her, he wouldn't be where he is today.
He always paid attention to a person's character, not superficial appearances. Besides, she didn't look as bad as she said.
“Well, you are Grandma Liu’s grandson, so your character must be precious.”
“…”
He didn't have such an advantage over her, but he was still benefiting from his grandmother's influence?
"If you want to come with me tomorrow, then we can go together. I have a patient tomorrow, so I need to finish my work first. I won't start until 7pm. After you're done, you can eat something to fill your stomach."
"Also, they're all students from Fengcheng Medical University, so they might be more direct with their words. If they say something that makes you uncomfortable, just tell me and we'll go home, okay?"
Su Ruowan felt that it would be better to say some words of reminder to Huo Shengnian in advance.
"Yeah." Huo Shengnian nodded.
Not to mention the students from the medical university, no matter how directly they spoke, they couldn't hurt him.
He suddenly wanted to go, but he just wanted to learn more about Su Ruowan from the side, that's all.
As for others, they are all safe and sound.
After arriving home, Su Ruowan asked Huo Shengnian to wait in the living room. She put the shoes they had taken off into the shoe cabinet, then went to the kitchen to wash her hands and took out a few plates and two glasses.
