"Young lady, you're wrong. My favorite has always been Young Master Jiasheng." Aunt Wang said with a smile.
The person in the Zhou family who likes Wang Ma’s cooking the most is Zhou Jiasheng. Every time Zhou Jiasheng comes home, he eats until his belly is full. Zhou Jiasheng has a sweet mouth and is indeed loved by Wang Ma.
"Ah~! It turns out that I was just being sentimental. Aunt Wang, you made me so sad." Zhu Xiaojuan pretended to hold her heart, which made Zhou Yuanyuan and Aunt Wang laugh.
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Xiaojuan were about to leave, Aunt Wang remembered the strange phone call she received yesterday and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Xiaojuan, did you call our house yesterday afternoon?"
"No." Zhu Xiaojuan shook her head.
Yesterday at noon, after Zhu Xiaojun fell into a coma, Zhu Xiaojuan was busy calling an ambulance and calling to inform her parents. She also had to rush to the hospital to take care of Zhu Xiaojun. She didn't have any free time at all. How could she have the time to call Zhou Yuanyuan?
"Hiss! I thought you, Miss Xiaojuan, were bored and were joking with me on purpose!" Mother Wang gasped.
When Mother Wang received that strange call yesterday afternoon, Zhou Yuanyuan and General Zhou had just gone upstairs.
Wang Ma thought it was just an ordinary call, but after the call was connected, the other party just said "Hello" and stopped talking. In this era, it was not uncommon for the line to be disconnected in the middle of a conversation.
But the strange thing was that the line didn't disconnect. No one was talking on the other end of the line, but there were some strange noises coming from it. Uh... Actually, calling those noises strange wouldn't be quite the right word. Wang Ma didn't know how else to describe it, but she knew that when she put down the phone, she felt a little uneasy.
After a moment's hesitation about receiving a strange phone call, Wang Ma forgot about it. Last night, as she lay in bed, she kept dreaming. The young girl's "Hello" on the phone filled her entire dream.
After waking up with a start, Wang Ma thought more and more that something was amiss. When Wang Ma answered the phone, a few seconds after the girl said "Hello," she heard several heavy breaths and the muffled sound of something heavy falling. Then, there was the click of the other party hanging up the phone...
Who would be so idle as to do such a thing?
Anyway, this is the first time that Wang Ma has encountered such a thing in her fifty years of life.
"Auntie Wang, is there something wrong?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask when she saw Auntie Wang's face turning pale and blue.
"Miss, I received a strange phone call yesterday afternoon..." Mother Wang tried hard to recall and carefully described the strange phone call she received yesterday afternoon to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Although Wang Ma didn't understand what the sounds coming out of the microphone meant, for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy.
"I see. I'll have someone check it out." Zhou Yuanyuan gently patted Wang Ma's hand. The warmth of Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and her gentle voice calmed Wang Ma's flustered heart.
As they walked out of the Zhou family's door, Zhu Xiaojuan was still thinking about what Wang Ma had said, and couldn't help but ask, "Yuanyuan, do you think someone is playing a prank on Wang Ma?"
"Maybe!" Zhou Yuanyuan agreed casually, but her mind was scattered, filtering in her mind the possible candidates who might make this call.
Zhou Yuanyuan believed that no matter who was bored, they wouldn't have the guts to call the Zhou family and play such a joke. General Zhou's reputation was not false, and the Zhou family's phone number was not something that anyone could easily find.
"Yuanyuan, do you want to go and deal with Wang Ma's matter first? I can go to the hospital alone." Zhu Xiaojuan is a considerate girl. After discovering that Zhou Yuanyuan was a little absent-minded, she immediately offered her suggestion.
"No need, Sister Xiaojuan, let's go to the hospital first!" Zhou Yuanyuan's scattered thoughts were brought back after hearing what Zhu Xiaojuan said.
Seeing Zhu Xiaojuan looking unhappy, Zhou Yuanyuan decided to put the call behind her. The call wasn't urgent, and Zhou Yuanyuan had promised Zhu Xiaojuan yesterday, and she had no intention of breaking the promise.
Renhe Hospital is only a ten-minute drive from the compound.
Not long after leaving the compound, Zhou Yuanyuan hailed a taxi.
Along the way, Zhou Yuanyuan was preoccupied and did not chat with Zhu Xiaojuan.
Zhu Xiaojuan looked at the scenery receding outside the car window and felt a little nervous.
Zhu Xiaojuan wondered what her first words would be when she saw Ren Zhongyuan. Then she wondered if Ren Zhongyuan would be pleasantly surprised to see her. And then she wondered if Chen Qiuyu would be happy or angry to see her. After all, Liu Meiling had said so many harsh things on the way back to Kyoto.
Before Zhu Xiaojuan could sort out her confused mood, the car had already stopped in front of Renhe Hospital.
After getting off the bus, Zhou Yuanyuan ran to the fruit shop next to the hospital and bought two bags of apples. She was visiting a patient! She couldn't go empty-handed, right?
Before entering the hospital, Zhu Xiaojuan pulled Zhou Yuanyuan's arm and said hesitantly, "Yuanyuan, my brother was anxious to see you yesterday. Why don't we go to his place first? Aunt Qiuyu's place. I... I'll go and take a look secretly later."
"Why are you peeking?" Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little strange. Isn't visiting a patient to chat with them or something? And peeking secretly? Was Zhu Xiaojuan crazy?
"Yuanyuan, um... I forgot to tell you last night that Liu Meiling said a lot of unpleasant things on the way back to Kyoto. I was afraid that Aunt Qiuyu would not be happy to see me." Zhu Xiaojuan was afraid of getting Zhou Yuanyuan's attention, so she decided to tell the truth.
"You also said something unpleasant to Aunt Qiuyu?" Zhou Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Zhu Xiaojuan. If Zhu Xiaojuan followed Liu Meiling in doing something so foolish, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't mind ending her friendship with her.
"No, no, Aunt Qiuyu and the others generously took me home. How could I be so ignorant?" Zhu Xiaojuan waved her hands repeatedly. Zhou Yuanyuan's sharp gaze frightened Zhu Xiaojuan so much that sweat broke out on her forehead.
"That's good." Zhou Yuanyuan said lightly and looked away.
Zhu Xiaojuan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, pulled Zhou Yuanyuan to a corner with few people, and started complaining.
Liu Meiling was very unhappy when she saw Wen Ziqing entrusted them to Ren Dahai and left without even saying goodbye.
When Miss Liu Meiling is unhappy, the words she spits out are like poison.
If it weren’t for Wen Ziqing, Ren Dahai would have wanted to send Liu Meiling back to the police station.
In order to get rid of Liu Meiling, this "hot potato", as soon as possible, Ren Dahai had to end his vacation and set off on the journey back to Kyoto with his wife and children, as well as the two "burdens" Liu Meiling and Zhu Xiaojuan.
