"Um."
Song Lan nodded.
Fu Jinheng: "Does Nurse Song know of any family surnamed Xiao in your village?"
Worried that Song Lan might overthink things, he quickly added, "Don't misunderstand. The reason I inquired about this is because the Xiao family and my family used to live in the same compound. I just wanted to find out about their current situation and see if I could help in any way."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan did not say anything immediately, but instead turned her gaze to Wang Jingjing and said, "Do you want to know about the Xiao family's recent situation?" Her tone sounded like a question, but judging from her expression, she already had the answer in mind.
After all, if Fu Jinheng wanted to know how the Xiao family was doing in Shisong Brigade, he wouldn't have waited until today to casually inquire about the Xiao family. This woman, who was not much older than her, was Dr. Fu's sister. She had just appeared this afternoon, and Dr. Fu had suddenly stopped her after get off work and mentioned the Xiao family to her.
This left Song Lan with no choice but to think about it.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?!
"..."
Wang Jingjing was stunned for a moment, her expression becoming somewhat uneasy. She avoided Song Lan's gaze and looked at her brother Fu Jinheng, only to find that her brother had no intention of speaking up for her. Seeing this, she could only turn her gaze back to Song Lan.
"That's right, I want to know about the current situation of the Xiao family."
She smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "My visit here to see my eldest brother is only one reason. Another reason is that I wanted to see everyone in the Xiao family, but I'm worried that my sudden appearance at the Shisong Brigade might cause problems."
This would cause unnecessary trouble for the Xiao family, so I'll trouble my elder brother to ask Nurse Song about the Xiao family's current situation.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Nurse Song, please don't misunderstand my brother. I heard from him that your family might live in Shisong Brigade, so I asked him for help. That's why he stopped you and asked you about it later."
As soon as Wang Jingjing finished speaking, Fu Jinheng immediately apologized to Song Lan: "I'm sorry!"
"nothing."
Song Lan shook her head and said, "Dr. Fu, you don't need to apologize to me. My home is indeed in Shisong Brigade."
Pushing their bicycles forward, Fu Jinheng carried Wang Jingjing's suitcase. Walking beside Song Lan, they heard Song Lan say, "There is indeed a family surnamed Xiao in our brigade..."
They lived in a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain; among them were two elderly people, a middle-aged person, a young person, and a child.
"Brother, it's Grandpa Xiao and the others!"
Wang Jingjing's tone was full of surprise.
Fu Jinheng didn't say anything, but he nodded in response to Wang Jingjing.
“That young man’s name is Xiao Yu. I consider her a friend, and I do know a bit about their family situation.”
Song Lan spoke in a gentle tone, revealing no emotion, saying, "Both elderly people are in good health, as are Xiao Yu's father and son, and Xiao Yu himself."
"Can I go see them?"
Wang Jingjing asked Song Lan.
"..."
Ask her? Song Lan frowned slightly and said, "Comrade, there's no need for you to ask me about this."
"Nurse Song, what I mean is... I mean, could I go with you to your house, and then go see where Brother Xiao's family lives?"
Wang Jingjing's gaze towards Song Lan clearly conveyed "pleading".
"The Xiao family settled in Shisong Brigade not just recently. If your family had a good relationship with the Xiao family, why didn't you think about caring about their life in the countryside before?"
Song Lan glanced at Wang Jingjing with an inscrutable expression. Upon hearing this, Wang Jingjing froze again. After a moment, she stammered, "My family... my family and the Xiao family used to live in the same compound..."
But our relationship... our relationship is only ordinary... Nurse Song, I don't want to lie to you, actually... actually, I like Brother Xiao, and I just wanted to see how he's doing."
Before Song Lan could speak, Fu Jinheng asked Wang Jingjing, "Do you like Xiao Yu?"
Wang Jingjing nodded: "Mm."
What are your thoughts?
He no longer cared about the Wang family's affairs, but he still knew about Wang Junchi. His half-brother had married Xiao Yu's ex-wife. Now, what had he heard?
Wang Jingjing, her own sister from both parents, actually fell in love with her sister-in-law's ex-husband. What kind of nonsense is this?
With a cold and stern expression, Fu Jinheng glanced at Wang Jingjing and said in a more serious tone, "My brother's wife is Xiao Yu's ex-wife, yet you've fallen for Xiao Yu. Have you ever thought about what the people in that compound would think of you and my brother if they found out?"
"I live for myself, why should I care about what others think?"
Without thinking, Wang Jingjing replied, "Brother, so far, my feelings for Brother Xiao can only be described as unrequited love. Perhaps in this lifetime... it will never be possible for me to be with Brother Xiao."
The implication was that Fu Jinheng, the elder brother, should worry less.
"You're going back to the capital tomorrow!"
Fu Jinheng's tone was firm.
"I've already come all this way, do you think I can leave willingly without going to see Brother Xiao?"
She didn't come here to do anything amazing; she just wanted to see how that person was doing.
Fu Jinheng: "You want to see Xiao Yu, but why don't you consider whether he even wants to see you? Besides, it's questionable whether Xiao Yu even knows you. Is it appropriate for you to rashly appear in front of him?"
Wang Jingjing: "I told Brother Xiao that I came here to visit you, and since it was on my way, I stopped by Shisong Brigade to visit their family. As for whether Brother Xiao knows me, you're overthinking it."
We've lived in the same compound for years, we see each other all the time, and besides, I've spoken to Brother Xiao before, I think he'll definitely recognize me.”
"Fine, do whatever you want."
