Chapter 500 Meeting the Dean
"What's wrong?" Ye Jinqian noticed her subtle expression, "It doesn't taste good?"
After all, it is a medicinal food, with a faint flavor of Chinese medicine.
"No, it's delicious." Zhao Yuanyuan looked up and smiled at him, "I just suddenly thought of the dean. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Ye Jinqian's eyebrows jumped and he didn't know how to start for a moment.
"I'll call the dean tonight."
After dinner, Zhao Yuanyuan returned to the apartment.
It was pitch dark and she was alone. Thinking about what happened during the day, her heart became heavy.
Perhaps because she had seen too many stories of deep love between mothers and daughters, she had too high expectations of Chen Guihua.
Most servants who have been working for years would be happy if they met a rich second-generation man who liked her daughter.
She shook her head, cleared her mind, and called the dean.
There was a dead tone on the other end and no one answered.
"Did he go to eat?"
After I hung up the phone, a message came on WeChat from the dean.
He said that he and his sister were running a shop together and were quite busy.
Zhao Yuanyuan seemed to be reassured and replied with a few words of concern.
The next week passed peacefully.
Spring comes quickly in the imperial capital.
The willow trees began to sprout, and the wind was not as cold as before.
She and Chen Guihua seemed to be in a cold war, and Chen Guihua had not returned to the apartment for a week.
She tried to communicate, but Chen Guihua didn't answer the phone at all.
She sat in the classroom, looking out the window, feeling a little melancholy.
The days seem to have returned to the way they were before, without any worries.
I miss the dean.
She sent a message to the dean, asking for the address of her store.
There was no response from the other side.
After class, I talked about this with Ye Jinmo.
"I know."
Ye Jinmo thought of Zhao Lan's condition. Last week, she arranged for someone to deliver medicine and sent back news that Zhao Lan's condition had temporarily stabilized and she would probably be able to survive for a little longer.
It seems that the medicine she and her master prepared together worked.
"The dean said that she and her sister opened a noodle shop. It has been a month. I thought I should meet her. I didn't go to wish her a happy new year during the Chinese New Year."
Ye Jinmo nodded: "When we went out during the Spring Festival holiday, we went to Dean Zhao's noodle shop to eat noodles. The taste was quite good."
She sent the address to Zhao Yuanyuan.
“It’s in this small town, and the environment there is very good.”
"Thank you Jinmo, I'll take a few days off."
She looked up air tickets and train tickets online and found that the prices were similar, but the train took six hours to get there, while the plane only took two hours.
She decisively bought a plane ticket and flew to the ancient town the next day.
Following the address, she successfully found the noodle shop.
Zhao Lan's condition improved a lot thanks to the medicine sent by Ye Jinmo and the financial support from the Zhong family.
When she took the food to the noodle shop, Zhao Lan and Zhao Li were busy cooking noodles.
"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles!"
"Okay, how about green onions and cilantro? How about chili peppers?"
“Both!”
Zhao Lan was cooking noodles skillfully. When she looked up, she saw the person in front of her.
In an instant, I forgot what I was doing with my hands.
The girl in front of her looked at her with a smile.
"Dean!"
"Yuanyuan? Why are you here? Come in and sit down!"
Zhao Lan hurriedly invited her in.
It’s not meal time now, so there aren’t many people in the store.
"The dean left without saying goodbye. I missed you so much."
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes were slightly red.
Zhao Lan was also filled with emotion. She originally thought that she would not live long and had not thought about meeting Yuanyuan again, but she ran into Ye Jinmo and the others.
When we met again, there were no twists and turns as we had imagined. Instead, it was so plain that I couldn't help but shed tears.
"Dean, you've lost weight." Zhao Yuanyuan put the things aside and held her hand tightly.
Zhao Lan's eyes were moist: "Isn't this store busy? You must be hungry on the way, come, have some noodles."
A bowl of hot noodle soup was placed on the table, steaming.
Zhao Yuanyuan felt that her heart had finally settled down.
It would be great if the dean was her mother.
Zhao Lan introduced her to Zhao Li.
"Xiao Li, this is the Yuan Yuan I told you about. She is so outstanding!"
Zhao Li gestured using sign language.
Zhao Yuanyuan could understand it. There were also children who couldn't speak in the welfare home before.
"Aunt Zhao Li, I brought you a gift too!"
Zhao Li also became happy.
After eating a bowl of noodle soup, the noodle shop closed early.
Zhao Yuanyuan followed Zhao Lan back to where they lived.
The two sisters lived in the house left by their ancestors.
The yard is not big, with a few bungalows and a quiet environment.
When Zhao Yuanyuan came in, Zhao Lan seemed to have thought of something and hurried to the bedroom to pick up the medicine on the bedside table.
“My house is a mess.”
Zhao Yuanyuan walked in with a suitcase and looked around. The room was not big, but very clean. There was a group photo of the welfare home on the cabinet.
Zhao Li went to pour water.
"Dean, what's wrong? Please sit down and have a rest."
"good."
Zhao Yuanyuan opened the suitcase and took out the things inside.
"Dean's mom, Aunt Zhao Li, come and see if you like the gifts I brought you!"
She went to the mall to buy clothes, and with the 50,000 yuan the dean gave her, she bought two gold bracelets.
"You kid, you're wasting money again. It's ok to buy clothes, but why did you buy a bracelet?"
"Dean," Zhao Yuanyuan put the bracelet on Zhao Lan's hand, "This was bought with the original 50,000 yuan. It's not easy for you to open a store here. If there is a cash flow problem, this bracelet will come in handy."
"Besides, Dean Mom, I have money now. I work part-time for Professor Ye, and I also have a scholarship from the school. I still have tens of thousands of dollars on hand."
Hearing that she was doing well, the dean felt relieved.
"By the way, Yuanyuan, I saw the news. Have you found your mother?"
When Chen Guihua was mentioned, Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes darkened for a moment and he nodded silently.
Zhao Lan noticed her emotions and felt a little confused.
"Isn't it a good thing to find your family? Yuanyuan, why are you not happy?"
When Zhao Yuanyuan felt cared for by someone close to her, she suddenly felt aggrieved.
She dumped out all the recent events.
"Dean Mom, sometimes I feel like she doesn't love me."
Zhao Lan was silent, feeling puzzled.
She really doesn't like Zheng Weidong.
He has a good appearance but is arrogant at heart. She saw how much suffering Yuanyuan went through during their relationship with him.
"Yuanyuan, don't force yourself to do something you don't like, and don't do it for someone, even if that person is your relative."
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly became moist and she nodded silently.
"By the way, do you still have your jade longevity lock?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanyuan felt a pang of self-blame.
“Lost.”
She explained the whole story.
"I am so useless. I lost the pendant and I haven't dared to tell my mother yet."
When Zhao Lan heard this, she always felt something was wrong.
"Yuanyuan, are you sure Chen Guihua is your biological mother?"
"A paternity test has been done, it can't be fake."
Zhao Li came out with some fruit, put down the plate, and gestured with sign language.
[Ordinary people would not use such good jade. 】
