Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 480 - Uncle Li?

Chapter 480 - Uncle Li?

Xie Ming slept peacefully during the whole journey. After a while when she woke?up, she opened her eyes while fluttering her eyelashes slowly.

She stretched her hand as she felt sore all over her body.

" You woke up? " Su Jin asked when she noticed some moments beside her.

" Hmm" Xie Ming hummed in daze.

However, her eyes widened in shock when she looked out of the window.

' Why are there mountains? There were no mountains or streams in Xie city? '

She hurriedly looked at the time and realized that she was sleeping for more than three hours.

" Su Jin, where are we going? Where are we exactly? Isn't your grandfather's clinic in Xia city?" Xie Ming was in a state of panic because she just only slept for a while and found that she was out of the city.

" Oh, didn't I tell you about it? My grandfather used to stay at Xia city before but it's been a few years since he moved to the countryside and opened his Chinese medicine clinic there." She said coolly.

" However, it's not that far from Xia city. See, we're almost there. It would have taken us less time if there was not traffic."

Xie Ming's face fell when she heard Su Jin's words. She took her so far and that too without telling her beforehand?

' it's not that far?'

In exasperation she slapped her forehead with her palm. " Why didn't you tell me about that earlier? You should have at least told me that we're going so far."

Su Jin blinked her eyes and asked, " Is it far?"

She never realised that it's far because she comes every week or whenever she gets a day off. She was used to traveling this much so she has no idea that for normal people it is far.

Xie Ming: "-_-"

Xie Ming sighed and looked at her phone. There were almost twenty missed calls from Liwei and messages.

She realized that her phone was on silent.

"Liwei?" She called him back and when he picked it up, she called his name in a low voice.

Liwei pursed his lips and asked," Why are you calling? Shouldn't you sleep some more? After all, you're going on a date with your best friend." He sneered sarcastically as soon as he picked up her call.

She pursed her lips and asked, " How did you know that I was sleeping?"

" I asked Doctor Lu for Doctor Su Jin's?when I couldn't reach you.?She told me that you were sleeping. "

" Xie Ming, why didn't you tell me you're going to the countryside? How can you go there without informing me? You know how scared I was when you didn't pick up my call." Xie Ming could sense how worried he was.

She sighed and said, " I didn't know either that we were going to the countryside."

" Hm? You didn't know about that?"

" I'll tell you later about it. For now, you don't need to worry about me. I will be back by tonight."

Liwei didn't answer her and hung up the phone.

Xie Ming stared at the phone and pursed her lips. She can feel that he is angry at her for not informing him beforehand.

She sighed and turned to look at the scenery outside.

….

After driving for about 20 more minutes, when they reached their destination, Su Jin led her inside the house turned clinic.

Xie Ming looked around the place which was neat and clean. She could smell the distinctive smell of the Chinese medicine.

" This is the room where my grandfather works. He has converted this room into his clinic." Su Jin led her to the room in the corner of the corridor.

She slided the door to the side and shouted excitedly, " Grandpa.!"

Xie Ming saw Su Jin running inside the room to hug a man whom she called grandfather, she couldn't see the face of the man because Su Jin's stature was blocking her vision.

" Grandpa I brought my friend to meet you. Didn't I tell you about the arrogant girl who insisted saying that the boy has autism and in the end, she was right. See, I brought her to see you."

Xie Ming :"-_-"

' Did she really have to call her arrogant in front of her?'

Xie Ming pursed her lips trying to pretend that she didn't hear anything.

" Xie Ming, this is my grandfather, Su Luozhang.?And Grandfather this Xie Ming." Su Jin stepped to the side and introduced them to each other.

Xie Ming's expressions froze when she saw the old man standing in front of her. Her mouth opened in daze as she stared at the wrinkly face in front of her.

Though he looked old but she still can recognise this face.

Uncle Li…

He was the husband of her aunt and also served as the imperial doctor in the palace. Though he left for the mountains to meditate after the old Emperor died, however,?she has met him a few times before getting married into the palace.

She felt emotional seeing a familiar face in front of her.

Though it's not the first time for her. Even Father Jin has the same face as her father Zhao Bai. And now Su Jin's Grandfather has a similar face as Uncle Li.

Su Jin raised her brows seeing Xie Ming standing on her spot quietly and kept staring at her grandfather.

" Xie Ming, you're alright?"?Su Jin walked to her and patted her shoulder.

" Hmm? Yes. I am fine." Xie Ming snapped out of her stupor when Su Jin called her out.

She took a deep breath to control her emotions. Though she doesn't know why she is seeing familiar faces from her past life, it makes her emotions every time she sees them.

" Nice to meet you Grandfather Su." Xie Ming bowed politely to the old man in front of her.

Su Luozhang fixed his glasses and nodded.

" So you're that arrogant girl." He nodded as he stared at Xie Ming. He squinted his brows seeing the familiar figure in front of her.

Xie Ming pursed her lips when he heard him calling arrogant. She glanced at Su Jin while still in the?bowing position.

Su Jin tried to control her laugh when she saw Xie Ming glaring at her.

She avoided her gaze while trying to control her laugh.

" Su Jin, you can go upstairs to your room. I need to talk to Ms. Xie about something."

Su Jin looked at her Grandfather whose expressions were cold and indifferent.

Xie Ming was also surprised when she heard his words. For a moment, a ridiculous idea propped up in her mind.

' Did he recognise me? But how can that happen? He is not Uncle Li after all. Moreover, I don't have the same face as my past either.

What does he want to talk about?
