The call came at Lin Kailai's home around ten o'clock in the evening.
He was smoking in the study, and at this moment, he was holding his forehead with his hand, with a cigarette in his hand.
The whole study was filled with smoke, like a fairyland.
The ash had burned into a long grayish-brown color, and it was obvious that the owner hadn't taken many puffs after lighting it.
Suddenly, a shrill phone call rang, startling Lin Kailai.
Because of this shudder, the cigarette ash fell onto the table, no longer able to maintain its original shape, and shattered into powder.
Lin Kailai came back to his senses in a second, picked up the phone and said directly: "Hello, this is Lin Kailai!"
Unexpectedly, a kind smile came from the other end: "Alright, Xiao Linzi, you're doing well. You're so confident!"
Lin Kailai's eyes were red and tears were pouring down his face: "Sister! Chen, Sister Chen!"
The person on the other end still smiled and replied, "I wouldn't dare. Who is your Sister Chen? It's been so many years, and you haven't even called me. What's wrong with you lately? Why are you suddenly concerned about me? How have I offended our Master Lin?"
Lin Kailai's lips trembled nervously: "No, Sister Chen, listen to me, I..."
Unexpectedly, the other end interrupted immediately: "Okay, that's perfect. I'll be at the guesthouse next to your house. Someone will take you upstairs when you come. Just tell me if you have anything to say!"
Then, the phone was hung up immediately!
Lin Kailai listened to the beeping sound on the phone and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!
What did he hear?
His sister Chen is here!
His sister Chen wants to see him!
Thinking of this, Lin Kailai felt as if there were needles under his butt. He jumped up from the chair and started to rush out.
He rushed over and called his wife: "Fenfang, Fenfang, what should I do? Sister Chen wants to see me, Fenfang, Fenfang..."
The eldest son and his family, who had already gone to bed, were woken up.
The eldest daughter-in-law pushed her husband awake in panic: "Wake up, what happened to our dad? Is there something wrong?"
She was so scared that she almost cried!
Lin Jiandong, the eldest of the Lin family, rubbed his eyes, listened for some noise, and lay down to continue sleeping: "It's okay, it's just a good friend of my dad's. Go to sleep!"
The eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Yumei could not accept this answer.
What kind of friend is this? He is a pretty good friend, but he can scare her usually calm old man like this.
"Get up! Tell me what's going on!"
She has been married for quite some time, and has never heard of her father-in-law having a "Sister Chen"!
Lin Jiandong pretended to be dead and refused to move, but his wife refused to give up.
Finally, Shi was annoyed enough that he sat down on the head of the bed and talked about a past event.
"Hey, it happened so many years ago. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my dad is so stubborn, as you know.
This Aunt Chen is a good friend of my father. To be more precise, she is my father’s savior.
When my father first joined the army, he was still a teenage soldier. Just a few days after joining, he encountered the enemy and was seriously injured. He almost died. It was our Aunt Chen who carried him back. I heard that it took him several days to find a unit. Anyway, that's what happened.
Later on, Aunt Chen and our dad became friends. Actually, it would be more appropriate to say that they were siblings.
Later, in fact, it was about ten years ago, Aunt Chen got promoted and went to Beijing, and the gap between our family and hers became huge.
It was fine at the beginning, but gradually, some people said that my father and Aunt Chen contacted each other just to use their connections to get a backdoor, and there were even more unpleasant things. Anyway, people were already seriously doubting the character of my father and Aunt Chen.
My dad is also stubborn. He lets others say whatever they want, because the mouth belongs to them anyway. But he was not happy about it, so he stopped contacting Aunt Chen and ordered everyone in the family not to contact her. After so many years, I didn’t expect that we can still contact her!
The eldest son’s wife was also stunned when she heard this. This, this, is there such a thing?
"Dad stopped contacting Aunt Chen just because someone said a few words?"
