Chapter 62
Yuan Ling didn't ask any more questions about why he was so depressed recently. That was his privacy.
"Do you want me to prescribe some Chinese patent medicine for you? Qing Yao has been taking it recently. Just for some conditioning, but these are all auxiliary. The key is to be able to think positively. However, the so-called 'positive' talk is actually easy to say. If it were so easy to be positive, modern people would not have nodules and cysts. Especially women." Yuan Ling talked freely.
However, Chen Pu only grasped one key point: Li Qingyao has also been taking Chinese patent medicine to relieve liver and depression recently. He was moved, unable to describe the feeling, and replied, "Okay, thank you Aunt Yuan."
Although they only took the pulse, the two felt much more familiar and closer than at the beginning. Yuan Ling looked at him sitting on the simple old chair in the hospital. He looked upright, righteous, with clear eyes and eyebrows. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. The seven-year gap seemed to disappear in an instant. He is still the child who is inseparable from Li Jincheng and is as close to their family as possible.
Yuan Ling looked at him lovingly: "Why didn't you come to see me and your uncle Li earlier? We all missed you so much."
Chen Pu's nose felt a little sour, and he said, "I'm sorry."
"What's the point of saying sorry? We are the ones who should say sorry. There are things I have wanted to say to you for a long time. Jincheng's matter has delayed you for so many years. Your best youth has been wasted on it. Don't we know? Can we accept it with peace of mind?
Uncle Li has also been looking for it over the years, and he also said that it is true... it may not be found. His meaning was the same as mine: Don’t look for it anymore in the future, just concentrate on living your life. You have already given so much to Jincheng. If he knew, he would definitely hope that you would let go of everything and move forward. Really, stop worrying about our family's affairs and listen to your aunt, okay? ”
Chen Pu raised the back of his hand, wiped the corner of his eyes quickly, lowered his head and said: "We still have to look for it, don't think too much, it really won't delay anything. Anyway, I don't have anything else to worry about in life except work." He pulled the corner of his mouth again and said: "I have already made an agreement with Li Qingyao, we will look for it together. I am a brother, how can I go back on my word to my sister?"
His tone was very relaxed, but Yuan Ling's eyes welled up with tears. She sighed, "You are so straightforward." She also knew that she couldn't persuade him at the moment, so she could only give up and talk about it later.
At this time, Li Qingyao had already paid the fee and received the things she had given. She sent Xiao Luo back to the clinic to get busy. From a distance she saw that the doctor had not arrived yet, and her mother and Chen Pu were talking. Li Qingyao stopped and stood in the corridor about ten meters away from them, with his back against the wall, looking straight ahead, motionless and silent. She couldn't hear them, but she didn't bother them.
"Come to my house for dinner in a few days and ask Uncle Li to make your favorite stir-fried pork with chili and braised spareribs." Yuan Ling said.
Chen Pu sighed and asked, "Is Uncle Li doing well?"
"What's wrong with him? He always says that he is still strong despite his age. He has trained three or four apprentices and he always follows the young people to the front line."
Chen Pu smiled and said, "Uncle Li is a practical man, how could he bear to leave the front line?"
The two chatted for a while and unknowingly turned the conversation back to Li Qingyao.
Yuan Ling asked: "Is Qing Yao doing well in your team? Is there anything he is not used to? This kid doesn't tell us anything."
Chen Pu immediately said that he did a great job and was the best newcomer in the whole company. Of course, this is actually the case. Chen Pu also talked about some of Li Qingyao's characteristics at work, such as he was very meticulous and able to endure hardships, and he was very quick to react and learn things quickly, which made Yuan Ling smile.
Seeing that Chen Pu was so familiar with Li Qingyao's situation and could tell her everything right away, Yuan Ling felt relieved. With him taking care of her, she probably didn't have to worry about her daughter anymore.
So Yuan Ling looked in the direction where Li Qingyao was going. There were many people in the corridor, so she didn't see Li Qingyao hiding in the corner. She lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong with Qingyao recently? Otherwise, her liver meridian has been blocked so badly in the past week or two. She hasn't been so angry for a long time. Do you know the reason? Is it about work or interpersonal matters?"
Chen Pu opened his mouth but said nothing.
He had been away for a week, and in the past few days since he came back, she had indeed been giving him the cold shoulder. He also understood that he had brought this upon himself. He was ignoring her. With her personality, how could she tolerate that?
But was she so, so angry about his escape? Unprecedented, the liver meridian is blocked?
A subtle feeling arose in Chen Pu's heart.
But he dared not let Yuan Ling know that he was the culprit. He coughed lightly, pretending to think seriously, and said, "Maybe it's because of too much work pressure. There's a case that has been suppressed and the investigation is not going smoothly. I will pay more attention to her and give her some advice. Aunt Yuan, don't worry, her business is my business."
Yuan Ling was very satisfied with his attitude of taking on the responsibility.
Looking into his sincere eyes and listening to his firm words, Yuan Ling really wanted to talk to him more about her daughter.
When he was hanging out with Li Jincheng at home, he got along better with Yuan Ling. If he hadn't been away for seven years, Yuan Ling would have poured out all the pain and distress she had been carrying in her heart for all these years to this godson-like person.
But there are some things that involve Li Qingyao's privacy, so Yuan Ling naturally wouldn't tell them without her daughter's permission. She just sighed and said vaguely, "In fact, Qing Yao had a very hard time in the past few years. Her senior year of high school was a huge blow to her. She couldn't recover for a long time, which made us very worried."
Chen Pu said, "I know."
Yuan Ling said, "No, you don't know. In fact, in a sense, Qing Yao is the same kind of person as you. She also wanted to take on the responsibility of finding Jin Cheng. But she was only 18 years old at the time. She didn't know anything except studying. How could she take on the responsibility? So during that time, her pressure and pain were beyond your imagination."
She paused and said with tears in her eyes: "There was a time when I even thought that I was going to lose my daughter."
Chen Pu's heart was shocked.
Yuan Ling smiled with red eyes and said: "Fortunately, in the end, she was strong enough to come out and did so well. She will always be our pride and Jincheng's pride. At that time, I told your uncle Li that no matter what path she chooses in the future, we will support her. Later, she told me that she joined the provincial department because she wanted to find the fastest shortcut to get more help and find her brother.
But after working for a year, she found that as a newcomer with no background or connections, no matter how hard she worked or how well she performed, she was tied up by administrative matters all day long. It was impossible for her to move up to the upper level in just a few years. She said she didn't have the patience to wait any longer. Do you know why she went to your bureau? ”
"Because of her brother." Chen Pu replied.
Including him, everyone who knew the inside story would think that it was because Team Two was the police team where Li Jincheng had served. This is probably some kind of emotional sustenance. That year, Chen Pu also applied to be transferred from another branch to the second team.
Yuan Ling shook her head: "No, it's because of you."
Chen Pu was stunned.
"At first, we thought the same as you. But after she finished all the formalities, she said to me, Mom, I want to find Chen Pu. I asked her why she wanted to find you, and she said that besides her family, you were the only one she had been looking for for seven years. She had no other choice, and she would do whatever you did in the future. Wherever you go, she will follow. Because she knows that you will never let her down."
