Chapter 19 Airport Farewell
The nurse looked Jun Lan up and down and said in surprise, "Are you Mr. Zhang's wife? You just had surgery and can't get out of bed so soon. Let me help you back to the ward!"
"It's okay. Just tell me which floor Zhang Fanxi works on. Now that I'm well again, I'm going to settle the score with him."
The nurse was amused by what she said and quickly said, "Mrs. Zhang, Director Zhang is leaving for Japan on business to study abroad today. We even held a farewell party for him last night! He just finished his work and left the hospital. Don't you know this?"
"This is all a last-minute arrangement made by your boss. I don't have a cell phone right now, so how would I know to lend it to you?"
The nurse handed the phone to Junlan, and Junlan quickly dialed Fanxi's phone, but the other party's phone was busy.
It's too late, let's just rush to the airport to find someone! After making up her mind, she threw the phone back to the nurse and left.
Nurse: "That woman couldn't possibly have rushed to the airport in her hospital gown, looking disheveled. That couple are both really weird!"
Junlan couldn't stop a taxi by herself on the side of the road, so she had to shamelessly jump into the middle of the road and stop a car.
At this time, a Volkswagen stopped in front of her. The driver stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Where did you come from, you crazy woman? If you want to die, go somewhere else and don't harm others here."
Jun Lan didn't care about that and hurriedly walked over, opened the passenger door and sat in.
Driver: "Get off, you crazy bitch, or I'm going to call the police."
Junlan took out two hundred yuan from her pocket, placed it in front of the driver and said, "Take me to the airport."
The driver reluctantly grabbed the two hundred yuan, stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the airport.
Junlan finally made it to the airport, and now she was terrified. Fanxi had slipped the two hundred yuan into her hospital gown yesterday, thinking Junlan didn't know, but she had seen it all. Now, with no money and no phone, how would she get back to the hospital if she couldn't find Fanxi?
She wandered around the airport hall like a fool, looking for Vansh.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Lin Junlan". She turned around and found that the person calling her was the one she had been looking for - Zhang Fanxi.
Facing this most familiar stranger, Jun Lan was speechless and didn't know how to start.
It was Fan Xi who spoke first: "You are so disobedient. Why did you come here instead of staying in the hospital to recuperate?"
"I came here to see if you were dead. What a jerk! You just left without telling me. We're still friends after we say goodbye!"
"Thank you for coming to see me off anyway. It's time for me to go for the machine inspection. You should go back now."
"Then you have to take good care of yourself. Can you lend me a few hundred dollars? I don't have money for a ride back to the hospital."
Fan Xi shook his head, took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, and said helplessly: "It seems that your bad habit of carelessness will not change for a while. I really don't know what you will do when I am not around."
When Junlan saw Fanxi opening the wallet, she saw a photo of their first birthday celebration inside.
Suddenly she felt a little sour in her nose, but she held it back.
Fanxi: "Next time I call you, even if you are angry, don't make excuses not to answer the phone. I will worry, okay?"
"Okay, I'm not a three-year-old kid, and you're not seventy or eighty, so stop rambling like that. If you keep rambling like that and miss your flight, don't blame me."
Fan Xi looked at Jun Lan and didn't even dare to ask her for the final goodbye ekiss. He could only reluctantly pull up his suitcase and walk towards the waiting room.
Jun Lan watched him all the way from behind until she could no longer see his back.
Jun Lan looked completely distracted upon returning to the ward, but Lao Lin scolded her at this inappropriate moment: "You little rascal, where did you go out so early in the morning without telling anyone? Don't you know we'd be worried?"
Seeing that Junlan showed no sign of repentance and didn't respond to him, Lao Lin became even more furious. He kept chattering about Junlan's faults and scolded her for nearly half an hour.
Seeing Lao Lin cursing, Jun Lan found it very funny. She said expressionlessly, "You don't know anything at all. Fan Xi went to Japan."
Lao Lin was extremely surprised when he heard the news.
"When did it happen? Then when will he be back?"
"He just got on the plane. What does it have to do with you when he comes back?"
"How can you talk like that? How long will your marriage be delayed?"
This sentence touched Jun Lan's heart. She pretended to be calm and said, "There is no such thing as a marriage. Of course it's over. We have already parted ways peacefully."
"Ah!" This shocking news almost gave Lao Lin a heart attack. He took a few deep breaths and pretended to be calm and said, "When did this happen?"
"It happened a few days ago."
"Why?"
"No reason."
"No reason. Then why on earth did you break up? Do you think this is funny? How can you play around like this? Your mother and I have already told everyone that you are getting married soon, and now you are telling me that you have broken up with that bastard. If you don't explain it to me today, I will chase him to the ends of the earth to get to the bottom of it. Tell me, have you been wronged in some way? Your father is still alive, and I will seek justice for you."
"Dad, please stop being nosy, okay? Actually, I wanted to tell you about this earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to say it after seeing how I was a few days ago. We're breaking up because of our incompatibility."
"Bullshit! Do you think I'm stupid? I think you're the stupid one. You can even tell such a lie. We've been together for so many years, and it's been a long time since we've gotten along, but you chose to break up at this moment. I think he's afraid of the burden of dragging you, a sick cat, around in the future, so he's leaving right away!"
"Dad, you're overthinking it. If he was that kind of person, I would have died in the hospital before. Otherwise, I wouldn't be arguing with you so energetically right now."
Come to think of it, the two elders know best how much Fan Xi has done for Jun Lan these days. There is really nothing to complain about.
"Then you have to explain clearly where your personalities don't match."
"Dad, it's hard to explain things like love. If I say he's not good enough, do you believe me? Oh, whatever. He has a bright future now. Just think of it as me being out of my league and wanting to break up with him because I'm afraid of bringing trouble to him. Okay?"
After hearing this, Lao Lin was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Finally, he just said, "It's up to you." and left the ward.
From that day on, Junlan and the two elders had agreed on a common story, and no matter who asked about it, she would say that they broke up because of incompatibility of personalities.
It’s a pity that people in the world will not believe what you say at all. They will only choose what they want to believe.
Soon, their supposed personality incompatibility was forcibly played out in their circle of friends as a different version of the Chen Shimei case of abandoning his wife. The more they described it, the worse it got. Later, Jun Lan simply stopped saying anything. Let them think and say whatever they want! I don’t care.
