Chapter 579: Chance Encounter
Gu Sihan sneered: "Huh, what? You only remember to come and see Grandpa now?"
Gu Huai didn't say anything, but went to the bedside. The old man, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He wanted to reach out and pull Gu Huai, but his hand couldn't move at all. Only his fingers kept moving, signaling Gu Huai to hold his hand.
Gu Huai's eyes fell on the old man's shaking hands, but he ignored them and turned to Gu Sihan indifferently and said, "When did the doctor say I can be discharged?"
Gu Sihan didn't say anything. Fu Jiu gently nudged him, but it was clear that he wasn't giving her any respect. Fu Jiu quickly said, "I'll be back home to recuperate in two days!"
"That's good!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the ward became a little strange. Fu Jiu found an excuse to leave the ward, leaving the uncle and nephew some space.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw a girl with a high ponytail leaning against the wall in the stairwell. Fu Jiu thought she looked familiar. Before she could even call out her name, the girl had already noticed her and smiled at her, saying, "Xiao Jiu, what a coincidence! You're at the hospital too!"
Fu Jiu smiled awkwardly: "Yes!"
"Are you hurt?"
Fu Jiu shook her head. "Someone at home is sick and being taken care of in the hospital. How about you?"
"As for me, I'm here to accompany someone to visit a patient!"
"Then why are you here?"
The other party chuckled and said, "He hasn't introduced me to his family yet, so it's a bit awkward. I'll just wait here for him to come out!"
Fu Jiu listened to the tone of the voice and asked uncertainly, "Boyfriend?"
"Yes and not really, anyway, there's something complicated between us!"
Fu Jiu didn't say anything after hearing this. She didn't care about other people's affairs.
"By the way, have you seen your paintings in the exhibition hall?" the other party spoke again.
Fu Jiu was confused: "Painting? What painting?"
"If you had participated in the competition before, it would have been placed in the exhibition hall. You wouldn't have known about it, right?"
"I really don't know! I haven't been paying attention lately!"
"I went to see it and took a picture of you. What's your WeChat number? I'll add you and send it to you!"
Fu Jiu nodded, took out her phone, scanned the other person's smile, and the girl spoke again, "My name is Jiang Ning, please leave a note!"
Fu Jiu smiled and said, "I remember your name!"
After adding her as a friend, Jiang Ning sent her the photos he took at the exhibition hall. Fu Jiu was quite surprised when she saw them. Thinking of what Bai Qi had said to her before, she had never responded to him. She had been busy with so many things recently that she had forgotten about it.
Just as the two were about to say something, Jiang Ning's phone rang. She glanced at it and looked at Fu Jiu apologetically, "Xiaojiu, I'm leaving now. Let's meet again next time!"
After saying that, he walked towards the elevator holding his phone.
Fu Jiu walked around the hospital nonchalantly, not knowing whether Gu Huai had left or not, so she simply went to the attending physician's office to inquire about the old man's condition.
"Doctor Zhang..." Fu Jiu knocked on the door and came in. Zhang Honggang put down the documents in his hand after seeing her and said politely, "Is there anything wrong, Mrs. Gu?"
"Well, I want to ask my grandpa when she can walk or talk normally again!"
Zhang Honggang said in a professional tone: "Talking is not a big problem, it's a matter of time. As for getting out of bed, I may not be able to do it!"
"Oh, so that means I've been lying in bed all this time!"
Zhang Honggang nodded: "Well, I can understand your feelings. I told that lady when she asked me before!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Jiu looked puzzled and asked, "Who else is asking you this?"
"I don't know what it's called either."
"Is it Suho?"
Zhang Honggang shook his head: "No, I recognize both Miss Su and Ms. Gu. That lady asked me twice, but I didn't tell her name!"
Suddenly, Fu Jiu had a guess: "Is it the one with straight hair, a tall figure, and the child she brought with her last time?"
Zhang Honggang nodded quickly when he heard this: "Yes, it's her!" At this point, he asked with some confusion: "Mrs. Gu, what's wrong?"
Fu Jiu shook her head. "Nothing? Thank you, Doctor Zhang. I'll go back to the ward first!"
Coming out of the office, Fu Jiu was still thinking about Zheng Xuelian. Why would she come to ask? Could it really be related to the old man?
When Fu Jiu returned to the ward, Gu Huai had already left. She casually asked, "My uncle is gone?"
Gu Sihan hummed indifferently and said nothing more.
"Third Master, I just went to ask the doctor about Grandpa's condition. Guess what?" Fu Jiu said softly while sitting on the sofa.
"What's wrong, you say?"
"Just now, Doctor Zhang said that Zheng Lianxue went to consult about the old man's condition, and she asked twice!"
Gu Sihan pursed his lips and remained silent. Fu Jiu continued, "Don't you think this is strange?"
Gu Sihan raised his eyes to look at the girl and said calmly, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter, don't worry about it!"
Fu Jiu pursed her lips, turned away angrily, and ignored him.
Gu Sihan sighed helplessly and said nothing in the end.
The girl took out her cell phone out of boredom and looked at the photos Jiang Ning sent her. After reading them, she clicked on Jiang Ning's avatar and entered her circle of friends.
Most of them are showing off their works, and some are posting about dinner.
During the Chinese New Year, she posted a group of photos. One was of a man with his back to the camera, cooking in the kitchen, one was of a table full of dishes, one was of her holding a red envelope, and another was of the two holding hands, but the photo only showed their hands.
The caption reads: Thank you Mr. Gu for your kindness! Happy New Year.
Fu Jiu's gaze fell on the larger hand. The watch looked familiar no matter how she looked at it. She couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
She simply gave up thinking about it since she couldn't remember it. She put her phone in her bag. After looking at Bai Qi's business card in her bag, she hesitated whether to contact him.
Gu Sihan's somewhat cold voice came from above: "What are you looking at?"
Fu Jiu quickly put the business card away and shook her head slightly: "Nothing?"
"Did you do something wrong?"
"No, I didn't do anything."
Gu Sihan sat beside him and held her in his arms: "Then why are you panicking?"
"You suddenly spoke and scared me!"
"oh……"
Fu Jiu nodded heavily, as the clothes clearly didn't quite believe her. She hadn't done anything wrong and had nothing to feel guilty about.
"Oh, my previous competition work is hanging in the exhibition!" The girl said this with some excitement: "Do you think I should pursue a career in painting? It would be best if I could study abroad or something?"
