Fan Xiaofan: "..."
I'm just doing this for serious business. I already agreed to help them investigate this matter, and now I just happen to have an opportunity.
As for relationships, you love me, I love him, he loves her...
What's fun about it...?
Grandma Fan seemed to have been touched on a sore spot by Grandpa Fan, her eyes even turning a little red. If her granddaughter liked it, then…
Just as Grandma Fan was about to sit down and make a decision, heartbroken, Fan Xiaofan stood up and said, "What are you all thinking? I have something I want to discuss with him. Usually, the Shi family would come to visit on weekends, but they didn't come today..."
Grandma Fan stopped sobbing and looked like she was about to cry, as if she wasn't herself at all. She calmly wiped her mouth and said, "Oh, I see. What did you want to talk to that kid from the Shi family about?"
Fan Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to explain things clearly.
"My work at the research institute has temporarily come to a halt. Because I promised Shi Lingheng I'd help him investigate his older brother, I applied for a reward and wanted to confirm it with him..."
Oh, I see...
Grandma Fan suddenly felt relieved; her heart stopped aching and her eyes stopped stinging.
Grandpa Fan covered his reddened hand, feeling utterly pathetic...
Aunt Zhang, standing nearby, almost buried her face in her bowl and chuckled to herself...
Fan Xiaofan: "..."
Grandpa Fan coughed and said, "It's quite strange. He usually comes over, so why hasn't he come this week? Did something happen?"
After all, these kinds of things happen all the time these days.
These words made Fan Xiaofan's heart skip a beat. Forgetting about her meal, she said, "I'd better call their home..."
Before Grandma Fan could say anything, she saw her granddaughter run quickly to the living room to make a phone call. She sighed, feeling that dinner was now tasteless...
Fu Weidong shook his head like a little adult, mimicking Grandma Fan's expression with a melancholy look.
Because the call was made to a Beijing-based number, there weren't many transfer procedures, and someone answered the phone quickly...
"Hello, this is the Shi family. May I ask who this is...?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Fan Xiaofan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Lingheng, who had been sitting casually, suddenly sat up straight and said, "Xiaofan..."
Judging from his tone, Fan Xiaofan thought he was perfectly fine...
She relaxed and asked, "Why didn't you come today?"
A chuckled voice came from the other end of the phone: "If I had known you were still attached to my past, I would have gone to see you no matter how far away we were..."
Fan Xiaofan gritted his teeth: "Be serious..."
Shi Lingheng chuckled and then asked, "Did you call because you were worried since we didn't go today?"
Fan Xiaofan snorted, indicating that he did not admit it.
"I had some things to take care of today, so it's not convenient for me to come over..."
Shi Lingheng's voice rang out: "I'm glad you called..."
Fan Xiaofan pouted angrily, then said, "Then when will you find some time to come over? I have something to discuss with you..."
Regarding Brother Shi Lingheng's matter, Fan Xiaofan felt it was better to discuss it face-to-face. Telephones weren't safe these days, and it would be terrible if some people who shouldn't hear it overheard.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound from the other side...
Fan Xiaofan thought the call had ended...
"I'll be right there..."
