Chapter 49: The Confused Dad
Although Lin Nuan had lived in the military compound for almost two years, she knew quite a few people in the family compound, but not others. However, the family compound was populated by people who were married and held high positions. Ordinary soldiers lived in dormitories, and even if they were married, their families were not eligible to accompany the army.
Lin Nuan was either at school, the tailor shop or home every day, and seldom went anywhere else. So even though many people in the military region knew that He Yunzhou had married, had a daughter, and now had a son, very few people knew him.
I know Wang Xiaoli better than I know Lin Nuan.
Even those who know her younger brother Dudu know her better than her.
However, after this reminder, Wu Chen still remembered it. After all, he also attended the wedding banquet. It’s just that Lin Nuan was still not fully grown up at that time. She has become more and more beautiful in the past two years. The change is quite big.
Seeing the tall and strong Wu Chen, she was worried about him running back and forth at night. No one would be worried about a grown man running back and forth, right?
That was decided. They both ate in the hospital in the morning. Lin Nuan came to deliver lunch at noon, and Wu Chen went to get dinner at home.
On the third day, Xiao Yuanshan arrived. He Yunzhou went to pick him up personally. He also took Lin Nuan, who was going to deliver lunch, to the hospital, and then went to pick up someone else.
Not only did Xiao Jingyan miraculously survive the critical period, but his body also miraculously recovered. However, now the doctors no longer have any doubts. Every noon and evening, they can smell the aroma of medicinal food wafting from his ward. He is recovering quickly but also seems normal.
Now he is able to walk on his own and no longer needs care. The doctor said he can be discharged from the hospital in two days.
Xiao Jingyan did not show any reaction to Xiao Yuanshan's arrival. He ate all the medicinal food he brought as before.
Lin Nuan came back from washing the lunch box. Before she even entered the ward, she heard some noisy noises in the corridor, mixed with sobbing sounds.
A woman's voice.
Thinking that the people from He Yunzhou had been brought here, it wasn't just Xiao Yuanshan who came.
The sound became clearer when the ward door was opened.
I saw Bai Ling standing in front of the hospital bed, crying and wiping her tears, looking so miserable, as if she was at a funeral.
The emotional value is well given.
"Aunt Bai, why are you crying? Brother Xiao's injury is almost healed, but you are crying like a funeral slayer. Do you think his injury is too minor? If someone else heard it, they would think he was dead." Lin Nuan asked with some confusion, staring at his big watery eyes.
Bai Ling's crying stopped abruptly. She didn't know whether she would continue crying or not. He Yunzhou and Wu Chen were already a little annoyed by her crying. She turned nothing into something serious. They opened their mouths to explain, but before they could open their mouths, Lin Nuan took over the conversation.
"I know you are crying for joy because you saw Brother Xiao recover so well. We all understand that, but outsiders may not think so. You'd better wipe your tears and snot quickly! It looks disgusting. You just finished lunch, don't let yourself vomit later." After saying that, he glanced at Bai Ling with disgust, and then looked away at lightning speed.
It is not very harmful but very insulting.
Bai Ling still cared a lot about her image, and hurriedly explained, "I just feel sorry for Jing Yan, I really don't think that way." Her tearful eyes made her look pitiful, and then she ran out covering her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
I almost shouted, I'm innocent!
All her pretentious actions were for Xiao Yuanshan to see, and the others were just following suit. Of course, no one present bought into her act except Xiao Yuanshan, who had a filter for her.
Straight men are the biggest nemesis of green tea.
He Yunzhou thought, it's my daughter! It was originally agreed that Xiao Yuanshan would come by himself, but I didn't expect this woman to come along too. She started crying when she met him, and even more when she arrived at the hospital and walked to the ward. She howled in grief and didn't even give him a chance to explain. She acted so well. I thought that when I got to the hospital and saw that he was fine, there would be no drama, but she cried even more miserably after seeing him. Isn't it like crying at a funeral?
Although Wu Chen was not clear about the inside story, as Xiao Jingyan's brother of life and death for many years, he still knew something about his family situation. His thoughts were similar to He Yunzhou's. In his eyes, Bai Ling was just a weasel visiting a chicken with ulterior motives.
The people present had different expressions. He Yunzhou and Wu Chen felt that Lin Nuan was just their mouthpiece, saying what they wanted to say. If it weren't for their inappropriate identities, they would have wanted to confront her long ago. Seeing Bai Ling about to cry, they tried hard to suppress the curve of their lips.
Xiao Yuanzhou was different. He looked at Bai Ling through a filter, and it was a level 10 filter. In his opinion, it was a virtuous stepmother who was heartbroken when she saw her stepson. The more painful her crying was, the more it represented a mother's deep love for her child. So before Lin Nuan said that, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife crying so sadly. But after listening to Lin Nuan's words, he felt that it made a lot of sense. Even if it was tears of joy to see a child who had survived the critical period, Bai Ling's crying was a little bit better, but because of the filter, she just frowned.
His frown was not directed at Bai Ling, but more at Lin Nuan, but since she was not his own child, he really couldn't say anything.
"Nuannuan, you misunderstood your Aunt Bai. She was just too worried about Jingyan. When she heard that Jingyan was injured, she was more worried than I was!"
Lin Nuan said "Oh" indifferently, and then didn't say anything else, but her expression showed that silence was more powerful than words at this moment. I heard it, but I didn't believe it.
Seeing that his confused father wanted to say something, Xiao Jingyan sneered when he saw that his father was completely confused and was being played around by a woman, and was enjoying it.
"I am so lucky that I didn't die. Did I disappoint you? You know how much I hate her. You think I didn't die fast enough, so you brought her here to let her cry for me. But we are not suitable for each other in this generation. I can't bear it. You have come here and seen it all. Take your people and leave!"
Xiao Yuanshan looked at his son whom he hadn't seen for five years. He had grown up to become more mature and stable, and more and more like him. Of course, before and after that brat opened his mouth, he felt that his son was a debt collector. His father came thousands of miles to see him, but he started to drive people away as soon as he got here. They were not father and son, but enemies.
I thought that after five years of training in the army, I should have become sensible, but I didn't expect that I was still as reckless as when I was a child.
Xiao Yuanshan looked at Xiao Jingyan angrily and said, "I'm your father, how can you talk to me like that? No matter what, she is your stepmother. We came all the way to see you out of good intentions knowing that you were injured. We were so worried that we didn't even get a good night's sleep. How can you still be as heartless as when you were a child? If it weren't for your injury, I would definitely slap you in the face."
