"Yan Yan, your phone is ringing off the hook. Is someone calling you urgently?"
Su Yang reminded Wen Yan to look at her phone.
Wen Yan was talking to Su Yang when she heard what Su Yang said, so she took out her phone from her bag.
When I opened WeChat, I found it was a message from the film crew's group chat.
Because I was busy filming, this group was quiet for a while.
The reason they've been revived is because they're about to leave H Province and return to A City.
The scenes over there have been filmed; the rest need to be completed in City A.
Some actors who, like Wen Yan, had already finished filming, such as Wang Che, were also talking in the group chat.
They asked if I could visit the set or if I was free to have a meal together.
The director said it was okay, and then asked who had been in City A recently.
Wang Che actively signed up and also tagged Wen Yan.
Wen Yan saw it and replied.
However, after going through all the messages, she didn't see any comments from Shen Jinghe.
Just as she was wondering, she suddenly remembered that Shen Jinghe wasn't in this big group at all.
This group chat was created face-to-face by an actor from the same group during dialect and sign language training.
Everyone here is of low status, so no one dared to invite Shen Jinghe.
So Wen Yan sent Shen Jinghe a private message.
'Long time no see JPG'
"Second brother, when are you coming back? I heard all the scenes over there have been filmed."
Shen Jinghe quickly replied to Wen Yan.
"It should be tomorrow, but I'm not sure yet. Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see when you're coming back so we can get together."
"We'll talk about it later. I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."
'Okay, okay, bye-bye!'
Wen Yan had a faint smile on her face when she turned off her phone.
Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but ask her, "Yan Yan, who are you chatting with? You seem to be having a great time. Did you make some like-minded friends on set this time?"
"Well... I have made one or two friends. But I was just chatting with my second brother."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Mom, I have good news for you. The filming in the other province has finished, and my second brother will probably be back tomorrow."
"Really?" This was indeed good news for Su Yang. She was very happy to hear it. "Then I'll ask him when he comes back and invite him back for a meal."
"It just so happens that Zhirou is back too. I'll ask your third brother if he's back from his business trip. It's been a long time since our family has all sat down together for a reunion dinner."
After saying that, Su Yang took out her phone and sent a message to her third son.
Unfortunately, Su Yang sighed and said:
"Your third brother is still away on a business trip, and I doubt he'll be able to come back anytime soon."
When her third son, Shen Jingcheng, was mentioned, Su Yang immediately started talking.
Before they knew it, time had passed quickly, and the car soon arrived at the hospital where Shen Zhirou's adoptive mother, Zhao Jing, was staying.
-
This was the first time Wen Yan met Shen Zhirou's adoptive parents, Wu Peng and Zhao Jing.
Wu Peng is tall and burly, and his first impression is that he is not easy to get along with.
However, his words and actions were quite different from his appearance; he spoke politely and always had a smile on his face.
Shen Zhirou's adoptive mother, Zhao Jing, seemed much more easygoing, but perhaps because of her illness, she spoke with some weakness.
After greeting them, Wen Yan didn't say much more.
Su Yang and they did have common topics to discuss. After the initial greetings, they started talking about Shen Zhirou.
At first, Wen Yan listened attentively, hoping to hear something unusual from the couple.
However, the conversation revolved entirely around Shen Zhirou's good temper and excellence.
Ugh, Wen Yan felt like throwing up.
Either Shen Zhirou herself is hiding it too well, or her adoptive parents are helping her conceal it.
Someone like her can hardly be called good-tempered; it's more like she's prone to intermittent madness.
Wen Yan's thoughts gradually drifted away from the conversations in the ward, and her gaze turned to the outside of the ward.
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar face passed by outside the door.
!!
It was him.
The man she met at the supermarket last time, the man who gave her a phone number that she couldn't reach.
Wen Yan quickly greeted the elders in the ward.
"Mom, Uncle and Aunt, I need to go to the restroom."
After leaving the ward, Wen Yan quickly followed.
Only after turning a corner and entering another corridor, and making sure the people in the ward couldn't hear her, did she run forward and block the middle-aged man's path.
Hello, Mr. Wang!
Wang Jian, who was suddenly stopped, was taken aback and asked in a local dialect:
"Hey? Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you really have a bad memory. We met at a supermarket in the South City District about two months ago."
"Back then, you mistook a young woman for the daughter of some Mr. Zhao while you were working overtime. I even asked you for your phone number later."
"Well, Mr. Wang, do you remember? You had just given me your phone number when your wife came looking for you with your grandson."
"Oh!" Wang Jian suddenly realized, "It was you! I remember now. We really are destined to meet again at the hospital today."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I called you as soon as I got home that night, wanting to ask you out and meet up to ask you some questions. But I didn't expect your phone to be out of service the whole time. What happened? Did you give me the wrong number?"
"That's impossible!" Wang Jian waved his hand dismissively. "If you say the service is suspended, then there's absolutely no way you're mistaken. That's my number."
"..." Wen Yan was speechless. "Mr. Wang, did you deliberately give me a disconnected number because you didn't want to give me your contact information?"
"No, no, that's not true! That's not true at all," Wang Jian hurriedly denied.
"You don't know this. I kept that SIM card in a spare phone. But that night, my grandson accidentally soaked my spare phone in water."
"As a result, the phone was ruined. I took the SIM card out and didn't put it back in. It was just a spare SIM card anyway, and I didn't plan to buy a new one."
What he didn't say was that because he was using the spare phone to watch videos of beautiful women dancing and doing nothing else, his wife smashed it in a fit of anger.
Wen Yan accepted his explanation, since it was a fact that she didn't accept that his number was disconnected.
"I see, I misunderstood you, Mr. Wang. I wonder if it's a convenient time for you now? I'd like to have a chat with you."
This time, Wen Yan spoke in the same dialect as Wang Jian.
