While Xu Tong's parents were still in a daze and hadn't had time to figure out my identity, I quickly turned my head and winked at Xu Tong. Xu Tong understood what I meant, and tacitly stood on my left and right, persuading and helping, half pushing and half pulling the two elderly people into the car. After Xu Tong sat down in the passenger seat, I immediately started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away from the hospital smoothly and quickly.
After the car drove away for a distance, Xu Tong's mother realized it belatedly and asked, "You are Xixi's father, right?"
I quickly responded: "Aunt, yes, I am Guan Hongjun."
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed instantly, her voice became sharp, and she roared with great anger: "How dare you show up now? Tongtong almost lost her life! I will never let you go today!" As she spoke, she was so emotional that she actually leaned over from the back seat and reached out to grab the steering wheel. The car shook violently. I gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to keep the car steady. I felt nervous.
Seeing this, Xu Tong's emotions completely lost control, and she shouted almost hysterically: "Mom! Stop it, aren't you ashamed enough? I've already told you that I took the wrong medicine, and he has nothing to do with it!" Her voice was tearful and echoed in the car, full of helplessness and grievance.
Xu Tong's mother was obviously shocked by her daughter's sudden outburst. She froze and sat back in her seat angrily. She still refused to give in, muttering in a low voice: "How dare you say that you have nothing to do with him? You have never made me worry all these years, how could something like this happen after I met him? I don't believe it."
Facing the tense atmosphere in the car, I tried to calm myself down, forced a gentle smile on my face, and said in a calm and sincere tone: "Uncle, aunt, please rest assured, Xu Tong's matter is my business, no matter what, I will take care of it to the end. You have been running around all day and are exhausted. Let's go to a place and have a good rest. After eating and drinking, if you are still angry and want to hit or scold me, I will never hesitate. In fact, I have always wanted to meet you two, but I have been too busy, so I have not been able to do so. It's just the opportunity today for us to have a calm chat."
Xu Tong was still in a low mood, and responded in a cold tone: "I've already said, it has nothing to do with you, just send us home directly, there's no need to make so much trouble."
I quietly observed the two elderly people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and saw that they were both silent. Although their expressions were still a little solemn, their previous excitement had obviously eased a lot.
I leaned slightly to the side, stretched out my hand and gently held Xu Tong's hand. It was cold to the touch, and I couldn't help but feel distressed. I asked softly, "Are you okay? Why are your hands so cold? When we get there, I'll have dinner with my uncle and aunt, and find a quiet room for you to have a good rest."
Xu Tong subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but I was afraid that she would refuse, so I held it tighter. After a moment's stalemate, she gave up struggling, turned her head away in a huff, and looked out the window, leaving me with a stubborn profile.
I drove towards Yuntai Jixian Restaurant. The reason I chose this place was that, firstly, it was in a relatively secluded location. Even if Xu Tong's parents got emotional again, it would not cause too much impact and make the situation too embarrassing. Secondly, there were guest rooms here, and I thought I could let Xu Tong rest in peace first.
The car stopped steadily in front of the restaurant door. I got out first and walked around to the other side to open the door for Xu Tong and her parents. Walking into the restaurant, warm yellow lights poured down. Liu Yun happened to be at the front desk. She looked up at me and then glanced at the Xu Tong family behind me. She immediately understood what I meant. She didn't greet them warmly as usual, but just said politely and courteously: "Welcome everyone, how can I help you?"
I responded seriously, "Mr. Liu, these are my dear relatives. They are a little tired today. Please arrange a quiet and comfortable private room for them, or open a guest room."
Liu Yun had a professional smile on her face and gave a subtle look to the manager beside her. The manager immediately understood what he meant, stepped forward, bowed slightly, made an elegant gesture of invitation, and said, "Dear guests, please follow me."
Walking into the private room, I put on a humble smile and asked Xu Tong's parents to take a seat. Then I turned my gaze to Xu Tong and said softly, "Go to the guest room and have a good rest. I'll ask the kitchen to bring food to your room."
Xu Tong did not respond, her expression indifferent, and turned and left the private room under the guidance of the manager. I turned my attention back to Xu Tong's parents and said politely, "Uncle, aunt, please sit down for a while. I'll go order some food and be back soon."
Hearing this, Xu Tong's mother said stiffly with a bit of coldness: "Please keep it simple. We don't have the appetite to eat right now."
Xu Tong's father couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "What are you talking about? The child is so kind, don't be so stubborn, just eat happily, why are you making so much trouble?"
When Xu Tong's mother heard this, she immediately refuted: "You only know how to eat. Tongtong has such a big thing, and you can still eat it. You are really brave enough!"
Seeing that the two elders were about to argue, I hurried forward to mediate, smiling and speaking sincerely: "Calm down, elders. Don't worry. I will make arrangements as appropriate. Please wait."
After saying that, I bowed slightly, nodded politely, and then quietly stepped out.
I walked quickly to Liu Yun, who was busy at the front desk. When she saw me, her eyes immediately flashed with inquiry, and then she showed contempt without disguising it. After looking me up and down, she said, "Guan Hongjun, what trouble have you caused again? Judging from the situation, the atmosphere is not right. Do you need me to arrange someone to wait at the door of the private room? In case you get beaten up inside, someone will help you to mediate."
I gave a helpless bitter smile and said to myself, "What can I do? I'm afraid I can't escape the fate of women in this life. As for being beaten, it shouldn't be that serious. Don't forget that I have a good tongue."
Liu Yun curled her lips, looking disapproving: "You feel good about yourself, right? Let me tell you in advance, beautiful women have always been the source of trouble. Don't play with fire, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
I ignored her teasing and said directly, "Don't tease me. Don't just serve the big fish and meat on the table later. Add something new and interesting. Western food, Japanese food are all fine. Make it more diverse."
Liu Yun was a little confused and frowned and asked, "Are you sure they can eat it?"
