While Shi's parents were at home, they heard a commotion outside. When they went out to see what was happening, they found Fan Xiaofan getting out of the car with a worried expression.
"Xiao Fan, what happened?"
Otherwise, the child wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Upon closer inspection, Mother Shi noticed something amiss on Xiao Fan's neck. "Those red marks must be blood streaks," she asked anxiously. Xiao Fan wiped his neck, explaining that he had probably accidentally scratched himself earlier.
He shook his head: "Auntie, I'm fine. Where's Brother Shi?"
Shi's mother glanced at Shi's father with concern. Shi's father shook his head, and Shi's mother hurriedly said, "He went to the Ruan family. Are you in such a hurry to find him? I'll call the Ruan family and ask him to come back..."
Fan Xiaofan slapped his forehead and said, "Auntie, please call him and tell him to wait at the Ruan family's house. We're coming over now..."
Seeing Fan Xiaofan in such a hurry to leave, Shi's mother followed behind and asked anxiously, "Do you know the place? Have your uncle lead you there. You're in such a rush, don't get lost..."
Then he kicked Shi's father in the back, whose lips twitched, and he nimbly got into the car as well.
Fan Xiaofan's eyes reddened, and she said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you so much. I'll have dinner with you again another day."
After watching the car drive away, Shi's mother shook her head. This silly girl, what is there to thank? She should be thanking this child. Without her, she doesn't know where her eldest grandson would be now, or what he would be like. And her youngest son, who changed drastically after her eldest son's accident...
He slapped his thigh and rushed into the house to call the Ruan family. He was worried that Xiao Fan might have gone looking for him and that brat had run off somewhere else...
She could tell that Xiao Fan was very anxious...
Fan Xiaofan had never actually been to the Ruan family's location, and Xiao Wu only knew the general location. Moreover, ever since Ruan Jiu had that incident, the checks at the Ruan family's place had become much stricter, and ordinary people simply couldn't get in.
After explaining the situation to them, Mr. Shi pointed to his face and said, "Today is also the day to show my old face..."
He deliberately said some lighthearted things, which was really difficult for this old man who was usually not very talkative.
The car quickly followed the directions given by Shi's father, taking the shortest route to the Ruan family's residence. At the Ruan family's place, Shi's father's worries were completely unfounded, because after Shi's mother made the phone call, Shi Lingheng came out and stood there waiting…
When the car stopped at the gate of the Ruan family, and Fan Xiaofan saw Shi Lingheng through the car window, for some reason, the tears that Fan Xiaofan had been holding back seemed about to burst forth.
Shi Lingheng opened the car door, gently shielding Fan Xiaofan's head as she got out. Before Fan Xiaofan could even regain her balance, she heard the man's deep voice: "How did you hurt yourself? Leave it to me..."
At that moment, Fan Xiaofan looked up and met the man's gaze. Although the weather was overcast, for some reason it was as if she saw a galaxy of stars in the man's eyes.
Shi Lingheng frowned as he looked at the wound on Fan Xiaofan's neck. Before Fan Xiaofan could react, he had already used the sterilized cotton he had prepared to wipe away the bloodstain and then gently applied medicine to it.
"Don't do that again..."
His tone was warning.
But it was also filled with helplessness.
Before Fan Xiaofan could say anything, he had already taken her hand and said, "Let's go, we can talk about it inside..."
