Chapter 129
"They are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship." At this moment, Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan's heartbroken face, and couldn't help feeling a little worried and distressed.
He just said softly: "And thank you, I will explain it to you later."
After saying this, he fixed his gaze on Xia Ruoan in front of him.
Xiao Qin on the other end of the phone seemed to understand Leng Zexi's situation at the moment. He knew very well that Leng Zexi would probably want to comfort the person in front of him who was in pain, so he quickly responded, "Okay." Then he decisively hung up the phone and didn't bother him any more.
Xia Ruoan stared blankly at the photo in his hand, his thoughts surging like the tide.
She really couldn't decide whether she should tell Senior Brother Ouyang about this.
Perhaps, deep down in her heart, Sister Ling'er doesn't want Senior Brother Ouyang to see her in this state?
After all, she has always been such a beauty-conscious person! How could she easily accept letting her beloved see her haggard face?
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan felt as if he was trapped in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
"Brother Leng, I really don't know what to do. Tell me, should I tell Senior Brother Ouyang about this? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sister Ling'er doesn't want Senior Brother to see her in this state at all."
"But if I hide it from my senior brother, what if he finds out the truth in the future, will he regret it for the rest of his life? But if I really do that, will Sister Ling'er be willing to see my senior brother?" Xia Ruoan looked at Leng Zexi with a worried look on his face, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
At this moment, she was really in a dilemma and couldn't make up her mind.
On the one hand, she really couldn't bear to see her senior brother miss the opportunity to meet Sister Ling'er.
On the other hand, she was afraid that her actions would go against Sister Ling'er's wishes.
Sister Ling'er resolutely chose to leave at the beginning, in fact, she just simply hoped to keep the best of herself in her senior brother's heart forever.
Leng Zexi stared quietly at the contact information of Zhou Ling'er's father in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ruo'an, you can call the Zhou family to ask for their views and thoughts on this matter. If they agree to meet, then let Ouyang know."
"But if Zhou Ling'er doesn't want to meet, then ask your senior brother not to bother her. Just watch from afar. Otherwise, it will hurt Zhou Ling'er."
After all, he had already promised Ouyang that he would tell him where Ling'er was, but as to whether they could actually meet, he still had to respect Zhou Ling'er's own wishes.
Sending someone to inquire about the news was in itself a presumptuous act.
"Okay." Xia Ruoan knew that this was the only way to do it now.
So she dialed Zhou Ling'er's father's phone number.
After the call was connected, Xia Ruo'an tried to calm down her inner turmoil and said softly, "Hello, my name is Xia Ruo'an. Can uncle please let Sister Ling'er answer the phone?"
Zhou Ling'er's father's slightly puzzled voice came from the other end: "Who are you?"
At this moment, he just noticed that the call was actually from China. Xia Ruoan quickly explained: "Uncle, Sister Ling'er and I know each other, you just need to tell her that I am Xia Ruoan."
As he spoke, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the tears that had not yet dried up from the corners of his eyes, and there was still a hint of sob in his voice.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask first." When Mr. Zhou heard that the call was from someone his daughter knew, he began to ponder in his heart.
Despite this, she decided to consult her daughter before making any plans.
"Honey, who's calling? If there's something urgent at the company, then go there right away. I'm here to help, don't worry."
Zhou's mother looked at her husband, whose hair had begun to turn gray, with concern and deep love in her eyes.
Father Zhou shook his head gently and said slowly, "It was a girl named Xia Ruo'an. She said she knew our daughter, so she called to look for her."
When Zhou's mother heard the name, she felt it seemed familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
So she hurriedly said, "Then I'd better ask Ling'er first."
There was a hint of worry in Zhou's mother's tone, because she was really worried that if she rashly handed the phone to her daughter, it would be terrible if she accidentally irritated her.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking." Father Zhou nodded in agreement, indicating that he agreed with his wife's idea.
Since the family came to a foreign country, they resolutely cut off all ties with the country.
The business that Zhou's father is engaged in now is limited to dealing with local overseas Chinese. The reason for doing so is mainly because he is afraid that the Ou family will come to him following the clues.
Zhou's mother quietly pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Zhou Ling'er sitting quietly in front of the window, staring out the window with eyes full of envy.
When Zhou's mother saw this scene, she felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a needle and the pain was unbearable.
But she knew she had to be strong at this moment and must not cry in front of her daughter, so she suppressed the grief in her heart and tried to force a smile.
"Ling'er, someone named Xia Ruoan called your father's cell phone and said that he knows you and wants to talk to you. Are you willing?" Zhou's mother looked at her daughter and asked.
Since entering the hospital, my daughter has hardly communicated with outsiders. There was a girl who got along well with her before, but she died of illness.
Later, they were all worried that their daughter would be affected. On the one hand, they hoped that she could make more friends, but on the other hand, they were afraid that she would know their bad news.
"Xia Ruoan?" Zhou Ling'er turned around and looked at her mother and asked. Was it the Ruoan she knew?
"Yes, her name is Xia Ruo'an. She calls you Sister Ling'er. I don't know how she found your father's contact and called you.
Zhou Linger was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Mom, please ask Dad to give me the phone. It should be the person I know."
"Who is she? Is it really okay for you to answer the call? Are you on good terms with her? If she's not important, it's okay if you don't answer. I'll ask your father to hang up and change the number." Zhou's mother said worriedly.
Zhou Linger smiled and shook her head, "Ruoan is a very gentle girl, and she is Ouyang's cousin."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she became even more worried. Did Ouyang also know about your father's contact and that you were here?
Zhou Ling'er was unsure, "Mom, let Dad give me the phone first."
"Ling'er, can we listen together? I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I'm just a little worried." Mother Zhou looked at her and pleaded.
"Okay, Mom." Zhou Ling'er looked at her cautious parents with heartache in her eyes.
