Liangcheng Private Hospital.
Seeing the orthopedics department sign at the building entrance, Song Nuan asked with some confusion, "Why is Du Kangtao in the orthopedics department?"
"It's just a smokescreen," Li Jingchen explained to her. "Before Wen Hua arrived, the people he sent certainly wouldn't dare to investigate openly, so they could only look in psychiatric wards and mental hospitals first."
Song Nuan expressed her understanding.
Li Jingchen has truly mastered the art of having three burrows.
The VIP room for orthopedics was on the top floor. As soon as they got off the elevator, Li Jingchen suddenly stopped. Song Nuan took a few steps and realized that the man beside her hadn't followed, so she turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nuan Nuan, there's something I want to tell you."
Song Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She was very nervous, and couldn't explain why. "What is it?"
“I privately had Lin Xuan verify your kinship with Du Kangtao.”
Upon hearing this, Song Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. When she came to her senses, she was stunned for a few seconds. What was she afraid of? Was she afraid that he would admit to going to see Zhong Qingya last night?
Seeing her stunned expression, Li Jingchen pursed his lips and said, "There was a time crunch at the time, so I didn't have time to tell you."
What was the result?
"The family relationship has been confirmed."
Song Nuan wasn't surprised. Although she had guessed it long ago, she was still momentarily dazed when she heard the definite answer. "It seems he really is my uncle."
She smiled at Li Jingchen, "Thank you for helping me confirm this news."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Du Kangtao was still the same as when Song Nuan saw him on the cruise ship. He seemed normal at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could tell that his behavior was different from that of a normal person.
He's a bit slow and his reactions are slow.
Like a child immersed in their own world.
Previously, Song Nuan only regarded him as a stranger who knew clues about her mother. Apart from a trace of sympathy and pity for his plight, she felt nothing else.
Knowing that he was her uncle, Song Nuan now feels heartbroken whenever she sees him.
Suddenly, a large hand grasped the hand hanging by the side of his leg, and warmth emanated from his palm.
"Would you like to go in and talk to him?"
Song Nuan refused, "No."
Du Kangtao's condition had finally stabilized, but her mention of Du Fanyu last time had upset him. There was no guarantee that if he saw her again, he wouldn't be reminded of what happened last time and get upset again.
Don't meet him; be good to him.
"He's leaving Liangcheng first thing tomorrow morning."
Song Nuan sniffed, "Where do you plan to take him?"
“Go to the Northwest,” Li Jingchen said. “Although it’s remote, the environment is good, and the doctor said it might help his recovery. Don’t worry, I’ve sent a medical team to accompany him; everything will be fine.”
Even if he didn't say it, Song Nuan believed in his meticulousness in handling matters.
The Northwest is a good place.
Du Kangtao should have stayed away from all the troubles and noise in Liangcheng.
"You said Wen Hua is coming to Liangcheng. He came specifically for his uncle. If he can't find him, will he give up easily?" Song Nuan felt a little annoyed when she thought of the Wen family.
She'll have to deal with Windsor in a couple of days.
"He didn't come here for Du Kangtao this time."
Song Nuan nodded in confusion.
Li Jingchen said, "Windsor and Cheng Yi are at it again. Zhou Jing intervened, and Windsor called Wen Hua over."
As soon as he mentioned it, Song Nuan remembered.
Ouyang Zhoujing left last night after receiving a call from Ouyang Chengyi; it turns out he really did go to clean up Ouyang Chengyi's mess.
"Zhou Jing went to Yunxian to find his uncle to ask about the Wen family's past. Didn't he already get the information? So much time has passed, why hasn't he taken any action yet?"
"He needs time to plan."
That makes sense.
Song Nuan nodded slowly, agreeing with his explanation. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Jingchen say, "Also, could you please stop calling him Zhou Jing from now on?"
"Why?"
"I don't like it, it's too intimate."
Song Nuan wanted to laugh after hearing this, thinking it was too unreasonable. "It's just a name. That's what you all call him too. Does it feel intimate when you say it out loud?"
Li Jingchen's face was full of displeasure, and the gloom in his eyes could not be dispelled even in the sunlight.
Song Nuan hugged his arm, "Don't be jealous. There's nothing between us. I've made it clear to him that we can only be friends from now on, there's no other possibility."
The man hummed softly.
Song Nuan gently shook his arm, changing the subject, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
What would you like to eat?
"Hmm..." She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's have hot pot. Let's invite Fang Yu, Yi Ran, Lin Xuan, and An Sze to come and eat together."
He smiled gently. "Okay, let's go buy groceries now."
Song Nuan has a quirk when shopping at the supermarket: she wants to put everything she sees into her cart. In that moment, she hardly thinks about whether she can finish eating it all; she only remembers that she's hungry.
When I'm hungry, I want to eat anything.
Li Jingchen didn't stop her. She could buy whatever she liked. He was rich. He could afford to buy out the entire supermarket, let alone the whole group behind it.
As he paid, Song Nuan called Xu Yiran, "Yiran, pick up Fang Yu after get off work and come to Huayuan for hot pot."
"Okay, I'll pick her up in a bit."
Li Jingchen came up behind them, pushing two fully loaded carts.
Upon arriving at the underground parking garage, the two of them loaded their belongings into the trunk and drove back to the garden.
On the way, Song Nuan received a WeChat message from Windsor.
"Song Nuan, I just checked the weather forecast, it's going to rain on Sunday. How about we change our plans? It's so inconvenient to go out in the rain."
Song Nuan couldn't have her wish!
She opened the input box, the keyboard popped up, and as soon as she typed the first letter, the note at the top of the chat page changed to "The other party is typing".
The next second, a message popped up from Windsor: "The weather will be nice tomorrow, how about tomorrow?"
"..."
She slapped her forehead in despair and in silence.
Li Jingchen glanced at her, then looked at her phone screen. He had good eyesight, and she was off guard, so he easily saw their chat.
Don't go.
Song Nuan turned to look at him, "But I promised her."
He said, "You promised Sunday, but she has already broken her promise."
Is that another way to explain it?
Song Nuan really admired his brain. What he said was logically sound, and since Windsor needed her help, why should she give in to Windsor?
I'm busy on Saturday.
After a long pause, Windsor finally replied, "Okay, then see you on Sunday, at the original meeting place!"
Song Nuan replied with an "Mm" and ended the chat.
“I’ll have An Sze accompany you then. Wen Hua will most likely come to the group to find me when he comes to Liangcheng.” Li Jingchen had roughly guessed the uncle and nephew’s plan.
"We still have two days, we'll talk about it then."
After seeing Du Kangtao off, Song Nuan had no worries. Strictly speaking, she had helped Windsor twice, so no matter how impure Windsor's motives were, she still had to give her some face.
Even if Windsor were to break off relations, she would have some means to deal with it.
After all, she knew a lot about Windsor's unsavory past. Who wouldn't use and manipulate each other?
