Chapter 21 Dad, you’ve lost weight again.
"Xiaowan, Jiang Ruohe wouldn't have put forward any conditions to you, right?" Tian Rong asked me on the phone.
Thinking of Jiang Ruohe's bloodthirsty eyes last night, I shuddered all over and hurriedly told Tian Rong that Jiang Ruohe had not made any conditions.
"That's good. By the way, this weekend is Uncle Yu's birthday. I've booked a private room at the hotel. Let's have dinner together then."
I felt a little guilty. So many things have happened recently that I forgot that my father's birthday is coming soon. I told Tian Rong that I happened to have a weekend off.
"Okay, then we'll buy birthday presents together."
A few days passed like this, and I kept having nightmares during those nights, dreaming about what Jiang Ruohe did to me that day. So every night, I locked my door and hid the fruit knife under my pillow, in case that bastard Jiang Ruohe went crazy again.
Fortunately, such worries are unnecessary. Since Jiang Ruohe left that night, he has never come back. Life is comfortable when I don’t have to see Jiang Ruohe.
I put on some light makeup early in the morning and met Tian Rong at the agreed location. We ordered a birthday cake and went to a boutique. I bought my dad a watch and a pair of earrings for Shen Xiuting, and Tian Rong picked out an exquisite tie for my dad. We left the boutique, chatting and laughing.
"Xiaowan, please hold it for me. I saw someone I know." Tian Rong handed me her bag, straightened her clothes, and walked quickly to a nearby place.
Tian Rong walked in front of a young man who was standing in front of a car and making a phone call. When he saw Tian Rong, he was stunned for a moment, hung up the phone and looked at Tian Rong. I didn't hear what they said.
Just then, Tian Rong's phone rang. Seeing that she was still chatting enthusiastically, I opened my bag and took out her phone. It was Shen Xiuting calling. I guessed that she was probably asking when we would go to the restaurant, so I picked up the phone.
"Xiao Rong, have you bought insurance for that damn old man? I can't wait..."
"Aunt Shen, Tian Rong is temporarily..."
Before I could finish my words, I heard a sound of something falling.
"Aunt Shen, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just dropped a cup. What happened is, Uncle Chen next door asked Xiaorong to buy insurance for him. He keeps asking me every day if Xiaorong has bought it for him. He says he can't wait any longer."
As soon as Aunt Shen finished speaking, I saw Tian Rong coming over and hurriedly handed her the phone.
After hearing this, Tian Rong looked at me and said that she had already bought insurance for Uncle Chen and would deliver it to him when she got home in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, I asked Tian Rong who had just spoken to her.
"Our company's new general manager is a typical bachelor."
I laughed at her and asked if she was feeling romantically aroused. Tian Rong nodded shyly.
As we were walking towards the restaurant, we suddenly saw several people gathered in an alley. Tian Rong pulled me and asked us to go up and take a look. As a result, we saw a ragged man in his fifties or sixties lying on the ground, looking at the crowd around him weakly. I was about to go over, but was stopped by Tian Rong.
"Xiao Wan, be careful of scammers. There are so many scammers these days."
"Sister, there are so many witnesses, it shouldn't happen."
I hurried over, squatted down, helped the old man sit up, took out a bottle of water from my bag, opened the lid and gave him two sips.
The old man looked at me palely, and I hurriedly asked him what was wrong with him. The old man barely said three words: hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia, at this time I must replenish sugar in time, otherwise I will suffer brain damage or something. I looked around anxiously.
"If anyone has some candy, give me some quickly. Sister, there's a drugstore nearby, can you please buy me some glucose?"
Tian Rong looked at me worriedly, but turned around to buy some even though she was not happy about it. There happened to be a passerby with a child among the onlookers. He took out a piece of candy and handed it to me. I quickly fed it to the old man. Then Tian Rong bought two bottles of glucose and asked the old man to drink it. Seeing that the old man looked better, Tian Rong urged me that it was almost time for dinner.
"Let's go quickly, or be careful that the old man's family members come and blackmail you." Tian Rong said in a low voice.
I looked at the old man and he said thank you to me.
"Little girl, go and do what you need to do. I'll just rest for a while."
When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a pang of sadness in my eyes when I saw my dad. He looked much thinner than a month and a half ago. I called him out in distress. When my dad saw me, he was very happy to hold my hand.
"Dad, you've lost weight again."
"No, maybe it's been so long since we last met that you've had an illusion. I eat very well. Xiuting makes delicious food for me every day."
My eyes were red, but I didn't dare to expose his lies.
I know very well what kind of person Shen Xiuting is.
