Chapter 500 Wan Qinglan is in trouble
Gu Yuehuai took Yan Shaoyu to find the house number and knocked on the door.
After a while, there was a noise in the room, and the door opened, revealing Wei Luo's haggard face.
When she first saw Gu Yuehuai, she thought she was dazzled and was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Gu? Why are you here?"
Gu Yuehuai said directly: "Sister Wei, I went to the Masses Daily and only then did I know about Qinglan's situation."
After hearing her words, Wei Luo was silent for a moment, then opened the door and welcomed Gu Yuehuai in. When he saw Yan Shaoyu holding her hand, he raised his eyes in surprise and asked, "Is this your partner? Are you getting married soon?"
Yan Shaoyu nodded to Wei Luo without saying anything, then sat down on the sofa with Gu Yuehuai.
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said, "We have already obtained the marriage certificate and are going to hold the wedding soon. I went to the Mass Daily just to tell Qinglan, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen. Sister Wei happened to not go to Hong Kong either, so I thought of inviting you here."
The smile on Wei Luo's face slowly disappeared, and he looked a little bitter.
She poured two cups of tea for Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu, pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect that either."
Gu Yuehuai had no mood to drink tea, and said: "Is Qinglan okay? I don't know her address, so I can only come to find Sister Wei."
Wei Luo shook his head and said after a moment: "She has been staying at home since the incident. I went to her several times but she didn't see me. After all, this matter is related to Qian Xiang, so I have to give Qing Lan an explanation."
Gu Yuehuai hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Wei, take me to Qinglan's house. I'll go see her."
Wei Luo thought about it, nodded and said: "It's good this way. You two had the best relationship when you were at work. You should talk to her more and give her some advice. Maybe it can cheer her up. You can't just disappear for the rest of your life."
Yan Shaoyu acted as a competent backdrop and didn't ask any further questions.
The three of them went out again and, under the guidance of Wei Luo, went to an ordinary residential area where Wan Qinglan's home was.
Wei Luo led the two to the third floor and knocked on the door of a house. The woman who opened the door looked very old. When she saw Wei Luo, disgust appeared in her eyes: "Why are you here again? Qinglan said that she doesn't want to see you anymore. Can you let my family live a comfortable life for a few days? And your filthy money, my family doesn't want it, get out!"
Wei Luo's face was numb, and he no longer felt embarrassed.
Gu Yuehuai watched from the side and felt a little sad. Wei Luo was a mentally strong woman. She could still laugh and talk happily in the face of family misfortunes and career setbacks, but now she was being pointed at and scolded.
Wei Luo took a deep breath, bowed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
The woman was not moved at all, and her expression was like a lit firecracker: "What's the use of saying sorry? Can it cheer my daughter up? Can it make her go back to work? Can it? You rich people can only say useless bullshit!"
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes and she reached out to push Wei Luo with great force.
Gu Yuehuai stepped forward to stop her, but Yan Shaoyu frowned and carefully protected her, fearing that she would be hurt by the woman.
The woman looked at Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu who suddenly appeared, her face sank: "Good for you, you even asked for help when you came here today? What, are you trying to break in and harass my daughter? I'm going to sue you at the Women's Committee!"
Wei Luo opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but seeing the woman's ferocious and disgusted expression, her words were stuck in her throat. The once eloquent and versatile editor-in-chief Wei had become a different person.
Gu Yuehuai was not angry either, and said, "Aunt, I was Qinglan's former colleague. I am no longer working at Mass Daily. She should have mentioned me to you, Gu Yuehuai. She used to always come to my house for dinner."
The woman seemed to be stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Yuehuai, with tears in her eyes, and nodded: "I know, I know you."
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and said, "I came here today to see Qinglan. Can you ask her if she is willing to see me?"
The woman was silent for a moment, turned around and went back into the house, closing the door behind her, and did not ask whether she would help pass on the message.
"Sister Wei, are you okay?" Gu Yuehuai took this opportunity to look back at Wei Luo. She had been keeping her head down and didn't say a word. She seemed to come alive when she heard Gu Yuehuai's words. She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's okay. I'm used to it."
Gu Yuehuai was silent, not knowing how to comfort Wei Luo. He thought about the cause of the incident and asked, "Where is Li Xiangqian? Has he come since the accident? Could he have left Qing'an County and returned to Hong Kong?"
Wei Luo said hurriedly: "No, he didn't go back. He is not planning to go back to Hong Kong anymore. He will stay in Qing'an County from now on."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the tightly closed door of the Wan family and said softly, "Qinglan's accident is ultimately related to Xiangqian. Xiangqian feels guilty and wants to make amends. He comes over every now and then, but Qinglan is nowhere to be seen."
Gu Yuehuai nodded lightly, saying, "It's okay, I'm not a conscienceless person."
While the two were talking, the neighbors in the building opened their doors and looked over. They were already accustomed to this scene. After knowing that something happened to the Wan family, Wei Luo often came over, always holding expensive gifts in his hands.
"She got scolded again today. I really don't understand why she comes here all day long. Is she looking for scolding?"
"Alas, I heard that the Wan family's daughter's accident was related to her son. The Wan family must have felt bad about this incident, so they must find someone to vent their anger on. But it seems that the Wan family received a large sum of compensation, so they don't have to worry about the rest of their lives."
"Bah! Can this be offset by compensation? What kind of capitalist thinking is this?"
“…”
The neighbors started arguing, and the whole corridor became very messy and noisy.
At this time, the door of the Wan family's room opened. Although Wan Qinglan's mother still had tears on her face, she had a glimmer of hope at this time. She came forward to pull Gu Yuehuai: "Qinglan is willing to see you!"
When saying this, Wan Qinglan's mother almost cried for joy. This was the first time her daughter expressed her wishes since the accident.
Gu Yuehuai and Wei Luo looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The neighbors in the corridor all looked like they were watching the fun. Wan Qinglan's mother's face darkened, and she no longer cared about hating Wei Luo. She said, "Come in and wait in the living room. Don't disturb my daughter."
Wei Luo nodded, and after entering, he stood at the entrance, not daring to step into the house.
Knowing that Yan Shaoyu was Gu Yuehuai's boyfriend, Wan Qinglan's mother showed some politeness. She invited him to sit on the sofa and poured him some water. As long as it didn't involve her daughter, she behaved very gently and normally, like a good mother.
Gu Yuehuai had already entered Wan Qinglan's room. The room was dark and there was an unpleasant, stuffy smell, but her five senses were strong and she could see the situation in the room clearly. The curtains were tightly drawn and a thin figure was sitting on the bed.
After not seeing him for half a year, Wan Qinglan looked very haggard. If it weren't for the slightly rising and falling chest, one would have thought he was a mummy.
