Fu Wan had just stepped out the door with her luggage when she heard Song Zhirong's words and stopped in her tracks.
What time is our flight?
3 p.m.
"The plane tickets are all with Bai Qianzhou," he said, glancing at Fu Wan.
"Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out?"
Fu Wan nodded. Shi Cuiyun wasn't in a good state, and to be honest, she wanted to say a few more words to her.
After finishing his call with the hospital, Song Zhirong quickly walked over to Fu Wan.
After spending two days together, he had come to regard Fu Wan as his family.
"Ah Wan, the hospital said that Shi Cuiyun has woken up. But her condition is a bit strange, she seems to be just like a normal person."
Anyone with eyes could see that Shi Cuiyun was not in good spirits when she was taken to the hospital yesterday.
Although Song Zhirong did not see it with his own eyes, Jiang Lan told him a lot, and he also knew Shi Cuiyun's basic situation.
"Then I'll go to the hospital to see her."
Fu Wan had some hope that if Shi Cuiyun's condition really improved, she might be able to cooperate with the embassy to return to China.
When Fu Wan arrived at the hospital, she found that the doctor had not embellished the facts. Compared to her confusion yesterday, Shi Cuiyun's eyes were exceptionally clear today.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Fu Wan even carried a hint of wariness.
This is how a normal person would react to a stranger.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous. I had someone bring you to the hospital yesterday. I'm Chinese. How are you feeling now?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Cuiyun became excited again.
"So you're the one who brought me to the hospital. Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
She struggled to get up and was about to kneel before Fu Wan, which startled Fu Wan, who quickly helped her up.
"What are you doing? You're still getting an injection!"
Shi Cuiyun's face was full of gratitude. She woke up this morning to find herself in the hospital. Only when she saw the different faces around her did she remember that she was in the United States.
Six years have passed like a dream. She has struggled and stumbled for so long, but still hasn't found her daughter.
If Fu Wan hadn't taken her to the hospital, she probably would have died on the roadside.
Seeing that she was indeed feeling a bit better, Fu Wan covered her with her blanket again, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask a question.
What are your plans for the future?
Shi Cuiyun shook her head, her face ashen. To be honest, she didn't know either.
Fu Wan glanced at Bai Qianzhou, who immediately understood and pulled Song Zhirong outside.
"I don't know if you believe it or not, but I've had a similar experience to yours."
But if you search like a headless fly, you won't find your daughter.
Shi Cuiyun was somewhat incredulous, "You also have a daughter? She was also sold?"
"Pretty much. I've been looking for a long time too. That's why I reached out to help you when I saw your situation."
Shi Cuiyun was taken aback, never expecting that Fu Wan, who looked like a little girl, actually had a child.
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
"Cheer up. Only by being strong enough can you develop relationships and find your child."
We've contacted the embassy and they'll cover your travel expenses back home. You should go back first; you don't have legal status here, and you could easily be arrested.
"We've also asked someone here to keep an eye out for you. The road to finding your daughter is long, and only by becoming stronger will your chances of finding her increase."
Fu Wan rattled off a long string of words, and Shi Cuiyun took a while to process them before finally accepting Fu Wan's invitation.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
She searched for six years, but found nothing.
On the contrary, she herself is neither human nor ghost. If things continue like this, she may pass away before she finds her daughter.
That's more like it. Seeing that she was in good spirits, Fu Wan took out a wad of cash from her bag.
"Take this money first."
"No, I can't have it."
Shi Cuiyun refused; she was truly ashamed to accept the money. Fu Wan had already paid for her medical expenses and her return trip to China, so how could she possibly accept this money again?
"Take this first, consider it a loan from me."
"You need some money to carry you on the way back. You need capital to make a comeback. What can you do back home without needing money?"
Seeing that Fu Wan insisted, Shi Cuiyun could only accept it with tears in her eyes.
"That's settled then. When you go to the embassy, someone will help you. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, thank you. I haven't asked yet, comrade, what's your name?"
"Just consider me a Good Samaritan!"
Fu Wan waved her hand, turned around and left the ward.
The moment she left the ward, she felt completely relieved. Helping Shi Cuiyun was also helping her past self, who had received help from many people back then; this was a way of passing on that gratitude.
After watching Fu Wan leave, Shi Cuiyun wanted to put the money in her hand under her pillow to keep it safe, but as soon as she lifted the pillow, she found that there was an envelope there.
She picked up the envelope and looked at it. She couldn't help but kowtow three times in the direction Fu Wan had left.
This was also left behind by Fu Wan. It was filled with 100-yuan notes, a thick stack of them, at least fifty in total.
Adding the knife that Fu Wan had just given her, converted to Chinese currency, it would be at least three thousand yuan.
There was also a note inside the envelope. Shi Cuiyun had attended literacy classes, and Fu Wan's handwriting was neat and beautiful. She recognized what was written on it at a glance.
“Go do business in the south, this money is your starting capital.”
Shi Cuiyun wiped away her tears. To be honest, none of her closest family members had ever treated her this well in her entire life.
Fu Wan believed she could amount to something, so she couldn't let her down and had to go back to China and make something of herself!
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou arrived at the airport at noon. Song Zhirong had asked for leave from work and specially arranged to take them to the airport.
As for Jack, his vacation was over, and he went back to work early in the morning.
"I'll drop you off here. It's a 6-hour flight from here to Florida. If you encounter any problems in Florida, remember to call me."
Fu Wan nodded, "Okay, take good care of Aunt and Jiang Lan, we'll get together again when we get back to China."
"must."
Song Zhirong smiled sincerely, a rare occurrence. He had lived in the United States since he could remember and had never thought of returning to China.
He had initially thought China was a poor and backward country, but after seeing Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou, he changed his mind.
Perhaps, that's a good country.
After a six-hour flight, Bai Qianzhou arrived in Florida at 9 p.m. Remembering his pleasant first-class experience last time, he bought a first-class ticket again this time.
Fu Wan fell asleep shortly after boarding the plane. The plane to Florida was newer than the one to Los Angeles, and the experience was much better.
When the two got off the plane, it was already dark outside. The weather in Florida was colder than in Los Angeles, and a gust of cold wind blew by, so Fu Wan tightened her coat.
"Are we going straight to the hotel after we get off the plane? Oh, and the friend we're meeting up with, are we meeting at the airport exit?"
It wasn't a good time to go anywhere else either. Bai Qianzhou frowned as he looked at the crowd waiting at the exit.
"Yes, he said he was holding up a green sign... Hey, isn't that one?"
Fu Wan looked over upon hearing the sound, and was immediately dumbfounded.
The sign was green, the hat was green, and the person was even wearing a green jacket.
Good heavens, he almost dyed his hair green too!
