Chapter 113: The Final Meeting
A lot of time was wasted in the afternoon, and when Lin Jin returned to school, she had completely missed the afternoon class.
After reading the message from her roommate, she was almost disappointed to learn that Yu Qing knew that she did not go to class in the afternoon.
She was a person who never skipped classes, but this was the first time she did so. Fortunately, she was caught by the counselor. She could imagine the disappointed look in his eyes.
But before she could feel disappointed, Lin Jin saw another message.
Sister Qing didn't care where she went after skipping class. Instead, she told her to call her back if she saw the message.
Lin Jin didn't give it any time to think and immediately called Yu Qing back.
“Ding Dong~”
After waiting anxiously in the office for more than an hour, the Shi family members stood up suddenly when they heard Yu Qing's phone ringing.
Several people had surprise on their faces and looked at each other to ask if it was Lin Jin.
Yu Qing saw the caller ID, raised her finger for a moment, and immediately answered the call.
"Jin Jin, where have you been? Did you have to go out for something urgent? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Jin's voice came from the other end, "I'm sorry, Sister Qing, I had to go out for something urgent this afternoon. It was wrong of me to skip class. Please punish me."
Yu Qing ignored the skipping class and asked gently, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Where are you? I have something important to talk to you about. In school or outside?"
"Okay, OK! Then wait for me at the cafe near the school. Don't leave. I'll come find you right away."
Yu Qing hung up the phone and said to the people who were eagerly waiting, "Jinjin is waiting for me at the coffee shop near the school. Let's go there now! It's not far, just a few hundred meters away."
Shi Xu and Lin Yiwen said yes repeatedly, and then they were in a panic and didn't know what to do.
It was Shi Yunshu who quickly stepped forward to steady the two of them, put away all their things, and followed Yu Qing out on foot to the coffee shop.
The cafe is not far from the school and can be seen by crossing a main road.
The cafe is on the second floor. It has good quality, low prices and a beautiful environment. Many students nearby like to stay here and chat.
From a distance, before they even reached the downstairs of the coffee shop, Shi Xu and Lin Yiwen's hearts suddenly jumped up.
They saw a short-haired girl sitting by the window in the cafe on the second floor.
The girl was bored, she was looking out the window with her chin resting on her hand, holding a cup of hot water, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Just one glance, and from the side, and they both wanted to cry again.
I couldn't hold back my tears and they flowed uncontrollably at this moment.
Their daughter, this is their daughter!
Their daughter, who should have been brought up with great pampering and care by the two of them, was unexpectedly left to live a miserable life outside for eighteen years.
During the waiting period, Lin Yiwen and Shi Xu learned everything about their daughter.
My daughter is both good in character and in study. When she has free time, she sets up a stall to earn tuition fees, and she gets excellent grades in all subjects.
Not long ago, he was beaten into the hospital by a group of bad guys and almost never saw his daughter again.
This time, the Shi family did not go up to Lin Jin immediately to recognize her. Instead, they sat at the other end of the cafe and observed silently, and then asked Yu Qing to go up and communicate first.
They also reflected on it and thought that their previous approach was inappropriate. Auntie didn't know them and if they approached her rashly it might cause her to be disgusted.
It would be better to let my aunt's counselor find out the situation first. If there is any sign of loosening up, it won't be too late to get to know each other then.
Yu Qing was entrusted with an important task. She organized her words, put on a strong smile and waved to Lin Jin.
"Auntie!"
Lin Jin came back to her senses from outside the window, raised her hand and waved to Qing.
"Sister Qing."
Yu Qing went over and sat opposite Lin Jin, adjusted her posture slightly to make sure she was not blocking the back, then clasped her hands together and placed them on the table.
"Sorry for the wait."
Lin Jin shook her head and pushed the cup of strawberry milkshake in front of her over to him. "I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered something for you."
"Oh, good! Thank you, aunt."
Yu Qing's eyes curved and she was about to speak when she suddenly caught sight of Lin Jin's face.
In an instant, she forgot all the words she had organized and just stared at the two Band-Aids on Lin Jin's face and asked nervously.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? You were fine this morning."
Lin Jin touched her face nonchalantly and pressed the Band-Aid with the cartoon character printed on it tightly.
"Nothing, I accidentally scratched it when I went out this afternoon. I've disinfected it, so it's no big deal. What's wrong, Sister Qing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yu Qing was embarrassed again, her eyes flickered, and she recalled the words she had just organized.
Lin Jin just looked at her quietly, took a sip of water, and did not urge her.
Yu Qing remembered and asked tentatively, "Auntie, I mean, what if! If your relatives suddenly came to your house one day, would you be willing to meet them?"
As she spoke, she observed the other person's expression nervously, but Lin Jin said calmly, "So those people who went to the dormitory today are my relatives?"
"Hey, you knew?" Yu Qing paused, then laughed at herself. "I didn't expect this. Your roommate must have told you what happened in the dormitory. So I'll tell you straight away!"
"Your relatives came to the school to look for you. They want to meet you, including your parents. They asked me to ask you if you want to meet them?"
Lin Jin lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes hiding her thoughts. She stirred the lemonade in the glass and watched the ice cubes slowly turn.
Yu Qingxin also started to get excited, and even Shi Yunshu's family of three who were sitting diagonally opposite them all tilted their heads and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
As for Shi Xu and Lin Yiwen, they didn't dare to listen at all. They lowered their heads and stared at the table anxiously.
After a while, the ice in the cup melted, and Lin Jin took a sip of water.
"They are here, please let them come over."
Yu Qing washed away the gloom on her face and said, "Okay, I'll call them over right away. Of course I'll wait here. If you feel uncomfortable during the conversation, just call me and I'll take you away immediately."
Even though she already knew the specific reason behind the incident, she still hoped that her favorite student could be reunited with his family.
But I was also afraid that my aunt would be hurt again, so I naturally stood firmly on my aunt's side.
Lin Jin gave her a grateful smile, "I understand, Sister Qing, thank you."
Yu Qing left in a hurry and walked to a table of people sitting at the door. She said something to the Shi family members who were pretending to be calm, and then pointed in Lin Jin's direction.
Then she walked to another empty table and sat down, and patted her chest towards Lin Jin, indicating that she was here.
The Shi family members stood up and walked towards Lin Jin.
Some of them were too nervous and started to move their hands and feet at the same time.
Lin Jin looked over and slowly watched the five people sit down in front of her, her gaze fixed on the face that looked 80% similar to her own.
