Chapter 63 "Bad Guy" Xiao Jingyan
Song Ziyuan's rheumatism cannot be cured in a short time. Now he can't get out of bed and needs to rest.
Lin Nuan called He Yunzhou and told her not to pick her up in the afternoon, and that she would take the bus or taxi back.
The Song family was not far from the Zhao pharmacy, only about 10 minutes' walk away, so they walked there.
While walking on the street, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She was not sure at first, but the person behind her called out several times in succession.
"Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan"
When she turned around, she saw Bai Ling walking towards her with a smile on her face.
She really couldn't understand it. She had always been afraid of the cold. People on the street were not wrapped up as tightly as she was. Only one eye was exposed from all over the body, but she could recognize them. Her eyesight and memory were really extraordinary.
You have to know that they only met no more than three times in total.
The first time was when I met him at a shopping mall with my family.
The second time was when Xiao Yuanshan brought his family to the He family to pay New Year’s greetings.
The third time was when I was in the hospital.
Lin Nuan could see that He Yunzhou didn't like Xiao Yuanshan's family except Xiao Jingyan. It was only because of their past friendship and Xiao Jingyan that they still kept in touch with them. They would rather not keep in touch than not.
Since everyone recognized her, Lin Nuan couldn’t pretend not to know her. After all, there was no grudge between them.
"Aunt Bai, I didn't expect to see you here. I was wrapped so tightly, but you were able to recognize me. You are really amazing."
"I didn't recognize you at first, but after I called you a few times and you turned around, I was sure it was you. Why are you walking alone on the street in such a cold day?"
"I went to hang out with my friends."
"Oh, so are you going home now? My driver will come to pick me up later, how about I take you home first? You have been back for such a long time, your uncle Xiao has always said that he wants to visit your home, but he is too busy and has never found the time. I heard that your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you, so I want to go and see him too."
You want to go but I don't want you to go. Although He Yunzhou and Xiao Yuanshan didn't have a falling out at the hospital, it wasn't a happy one. What do you mean by too busy? Is it because you can't save face?
"That's unfortunate. I don't want to go home right now. I want to go shopping and buy some things. How about next time?"
As they were talking, a black car pulled up and it was obvious who it was coming to pick up.
"Aunt Bai, your driver is here to pick you up. It's quite cold today, so hurry up and get in the car. I'll be leaving first. Bye."
Bai Ling wanted to say something, but Lin Nuan didn't give her the chance. She said goodbye politely and left quickly.
When Bai Ling saw Lin Nuan walking so fast as if a dog was chasing her, she immediately performed a smile-disappearing technique.
Lin Nuan didn't care about her, but someone suddenly came to her mind.
I was daydreaming when suddenly my body lost weight and someone pulled me.
Her first thought was that she had met a bad guy, and she wanted to fight back. Just as she threw a punch, she heard a familiar voice, "It's me." Her fist was held in the other person's hand.
If you really think of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear.
Unexpectedly, the "bad guy" was Xiao Jingyan.
Lin Nuan was dragged into a small alley by the visitor, as if she was not allowed to see anyone.
"Brother Xiao, when did you come back? Why didn't I hear from my dad that you were coming back? And why didn't you write back to me?"
Xiao Jingyan answered the question irrelevantly, and asked her a question instead, "What did Bai Ling say to you just now?"
Seeing that he looked serious, Lin Nuan told him about her conversation with Bai Ling.
After listening to it, his already serious expression became even more serious.
"Go home and tell Uncle He not to have any contact with the Xiao family recently. Ask everyone in the family to be more careful, especially Bai Ling."
At this point, even if one was slow-witted, one could guess that Bai Ling was in trouble, and it was a big deal. Besides, Lin Nuan was not stupid.
Combined with Xiao Jingyan's secretive and cautious look.
If he doesn't say it, it proves that it involves confidential information.
"Then can I tell my dad that you're here? Actually, as far as I know, no one from either family has visited since we came back. It was just a coincidence that I met Bai Ling today. She wanted to come to my house, but I rejected her.
But the Chinese New Year is just over a month away. Even if my dad and your scumbag dad had some unpleasantness in the hospital, there is no guarantee that he will not come to visit during the Chinese New Year. Guests are welcome, so we can't kick them out, right?"
Especially since Bai Ling was so eager to send Lin Nuan home today, she must have a purpose. It is possible that the Xiao family might find an excuse to come to her house before the New Year.
He Yunzhou was just in a hurry just now. The relationship between the two families has long been made clear, and it is impossible to distance themselves from each other just because they haven't seen each other for a few months.
“You can tell Uncle He that I’m back, but you must tell him to keep it a secret. I’m back this time to carry out a mission, and I can’t tell you anything else, so my return must be kept secret.
Although I haven't been back for five or six years, it was to avoid being recognized. I need to reduce my appearance in front of people as much as possible, so it is not convenient for me to meet you. "
It seems to be a secret mission and is related to the Xiao family. How much does the organization trust Xiao Jingyan!
This has always been the case. No matter what kind of official they are, they need to avoid suspicion when handling cases. After all, whether the relationship is good or bad, personal feelings are easily mixed in.
But now Xiao Jingyan is actually investigating his biological father and his stepmother.
Lin Nuan nodded obediently, "I understand."
I didn't think anything of what the two of us had been talking about before, but now that we had finished talking, I realized that the distance between us was so close that we were almost sticking to each other.
Lin Nuan is now 1.65 meters tall, but Xiao Jingyan is taller!
With him blocking the view, if you didn’t look over specifically, you wouldn’t be able to see Lin Nuan who was blocked by him.
Lin Nuan’s line of sight just happened to see Xiao Jingyan’s Adam’s apple.
Quite sexy!
Lin Nuan felt her face getting hot, and she tried not to look, so she lowered her head, and unexpectedly touched Xiao Jingyan's chin.
With a cry of "Ouch", the two of them moved some distance between each other, and the awkwardness just now was gone.
Lin Nuan was particularly glad that she wrapped herself tightly because of the cold weather, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
Xiao Jingyan also realized that the distance between the two of them was too close, but in addition to the familiar soap scent on the little girl, there was also a faint smell of Chinese medicine, which mixed together and smelled quite good.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who looked at her momentary confusion, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
The little girl has really grown up.
He rubbed her head as before and said, "Don't run around in such a cold weather. Take a taxi and go home quickly!"
Lin Nuan straightened the hat that he had twisted crookedly, and the embarrassment she had just felt disappeared.
"Did you not receive my letter? In addition to studying Chinese medicine at school, I also found a master outside of school. The master said he would teach me acupuncture tomorrow. I am going to Zhao's Chinese Medicine Pharmacy not far away to get the silver needles. Don't worry, I will go home as soon as I get the things."
