Chapter 366 If
Xing Dongyang?
Su Tong was slightly embarrassed. She almost forgot this person existed.
"Oh! I met Brother Xing when he went to the countryside, and he helped me a lot. I was thinking of contacting him when I'm not busy!"
Dean Ji smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"If that's the case, that's good! I was worried... he was your suitor, and I was afraid you didn't want to see him, so I didn't dare to give him your phone number."
Su Tong was not shy and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Dean! I do have a partner! It's very stable! Brother Xing is a rare friend, and it's not to the point where we can't meet."
Dean Ji nodded and said, "The Xing family has a very upright family tradition. More friends mean more opportunities! What's more, you two already knew each other! Then I'll give him your phone number and let him contact you!"
Su Tong thought for a moment and said, "I don't live there anymore. If you have Brother Xing's phone number, I'll contact him!"
Dean Ji agreed readily.
It was still early, so Su Tong simply borrowed Dean Ji's phone to call Xing Dongyang.
Xing Dongyang was overjoyed when he received Su Tong's call. He asked Su Tong if he had time to have lunch together and chat.
Su Tong thought about it and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Su Tong called Qin Yi's office in the military region, and it was Qin Yi who answered the phone.
Upon learning that she was going to have lunch with Xing Dongyang, Qin Yi seriously told her to eat more and talk less, and go home early after eating.
Su Tong was a little amused.
Then she said goodbye to Dean Ji and went to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing was not in the office. The nurse told him that Director Lin had just gone to the ward for high-ranking cadres.
Lin Jiao is still hospitalized here.
Su Tong had been to the high-ranking cadres' ward area and not far away, he saw Lin Xiuqing's back.
Su Tong caught up with her and told her that he was going to have lunch with Xing Dongyang.
Originally, she and Lin Xiuqing had agreed to go home together at noon.
When Lin Xiuqing heard that she was an educated youth friend she had known before, she didn't ask much, but only asked her where they were going to have dinner, whether she knew the way, and whether she needed to ask Song Shaoyang to take her there.
Su Tong told them one by one and said that he could go.
Before leaving, Lin Xiuqing stopped her and explained somewhat embarrassedly:
"There is no conclusion yet on Lin Jiao's matter. I will stop by to see her when I go to work..."
Su Tong smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter! You should go see her. It would be abnormal if you didn't!"
Su Tong didn't stay in the hospital for too long, feeling a little uncomfortable...
Why?
She herself is not very clear about it!
I only know that it wasn’t because Lin Xiuqing went to see Lin Jiao, it might be because of... her explanation!
The explanation is because of fear of misunderstanding and distrust, and the cautiousness of two people in getting along with each other...
They are biological mother and daughter, but they still can't get along like biological mother and daughter...
Just go and see it openly. Don’t say that nothing has been revealed yet. On the surface, Lin Jiao is still her daughter!
Even if Lin Jiao really committed a crime and was sentenced, and had raised the child for more than ten years, it is understandable that she wanted to take a look!
Su Tong sighed deeply in his heart...
The time they had lived together was too short... She felt embarrassed and didn't know where to put her energy...
How do children who grow up with their mothers get along with their mothers?
…
Su Tong and Xing Dongyang have lunch at about twelve o'clock.
It was only ten o'clock. She strolled along the street and turned into a Xinhua Bookstore, where she spent more than an hour.
Then we took the bus to the agreed location.
Even in Beijing, people now eat in state-owned restaurants.
Su Tong arrived fifteen minutes early and found Xing Dongyang already waiting inside.
Seeing her, Xing Dongyang quickly raised his arm and waved at her.
Su Tong walked over to sit opposite him, and greeted him with a smile:
"Brother Xing! Long time no see!"
Xing Dongyang was obviously very excited, and he hurriedly asked the waiter to serve the food.
Then he ran around to get the teapot and teacups and pour water for her.
It seems that he wants to use busyness to cover up his inner unrest.
When he finally sat down, Xing Dongyang looked at Su Tong steadily, his eyes filled with joy and eagerness...
"It's so nice to see you! Su Tong! I feel like I'm dreaming!"
Su Tong smiled and said, "Yes! Brother Xing! I feel like I'm dreaming too! It's been less than half a year since you left Yunshan Village! I didn't expect that we would be able to sit face to face and eat in a restaurant in Jing City so soon!"
Xing Dongyang's eyes were slightly moist. He considered for a moment and said:
"Su Tong! Regarding Zhang Yaping's matter... I'm sorry!"
"I returned to Beijing from Yunshan Village. When I saw Zhang Yaping in Beijing, I realized that they had actually come to see you! I didn't handle it well and caused you trouble!"
Su Tong said: "It's all over! Besides, I didn't help them in vain. Zhang Zhenglin also helped me, and it was a big help! I am even with them on this matter! Besides, it's not your fault!"
Xing Dongyang continued, "I called the commune later to look for you, but the people from the commune told me that you were no longer in Yunshan Village and had gone to the provincial capital. I was thinking of contacting you again after a while..."
"But, I didn't expect... I actually heard news about you from Zhenglin. He said that you performed surgery on his father. I, I couldn't believe it! You, you actually came to Jing City! I went to the hospital to find you immediately! I found out that you had already gone abroad!"
"Later, I read in the newspapers about your triumphant return! Every bit of news about you shocked me! I was so happy for you! It was as if you had been reborn! You had become a completely new person!"
At this time, the waiter held up a large tray and began to serve the dishes.
After the dishes were served one by one, Xing Dongyang was busy serving Su Tong with a serving chopstick.
Su Tong didn't rush to pick up her chopsticks. She continued with the previous topic:
"Yes! Brother Xing! Now I have not only joined the army, but also found my biological parents, my brother and my grandfather! I am very content now!"
Xing Dongyang said: "That's great! I heard some of it, but I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly! I'm so happy for you!"
Su Tong continued: "And the most important thing is that I have found someone I like now! Maybe I will get married this year!"
Xing Dongyang paused with his chopsticks and continued to pick up food for Su Tong until her bowl was full. He then put down his chopsticks and asked:
"You're talking about Captain Qin, right?"
Su Tong nodded, "Yes! It's him!"
Xing Dongyang's smile was a little stiff, but he still smiled and said:
"Captain Qin is indeed very outstanding! Only someone as outstanding as him is worthy of you!"
Su Tong tilted his head and thought for a while before speaking:
"There are many excellent people, but there is only one him! He and I have been through a lot together. Maybe fate is also important."
After Su Tong finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and began to slowly finish the food in the bowl.
Xing Dongyang was stunned. He looked at Su Tong, and tears slowly gathered in his eyes. Then, he murmured:
"We... have experienced life and death together. We... were able to meet in Yunshan Village. It can be considered fate, right?"
Su Tong didn't hear it clearly, so he looked up and asked:
"Brother Xing! What did you just say?"
Xing Dongyang paused, but still asked...
"Su Tong! If, if I hadn't come back half a year earlier, would we... would we..."
“No ifs!”
Su Tong's voice was light but firm.
