He had been studying Chinese for a while now, and his typing was fine, but when he spoke, he found every word awkward.
Ji Shaojun, Ji Heng:
Both were very silent.
Ji Shaojun silently went to make tea for Dr. Lance with the leaves brought by Director Chen, earning himself a thumbs-up from Lance.
Shen Qing hadn’t woken up yet, but her vital signs were all good.
Bai Lian sat beside Shen Qing and casually placed her hand on her pulse.
“Bai,” Dr. Lance, holding a teacup, stood aside, and after the previous incident, felt his Chinese wasn’t good enough, switched back to English: “Is this the Chinese medicine pulse-taking thing you’re doing?”
“Hmm,” Bai Lian withdrew her hand as Shen Qing’s pulse was steady. She exhaled slowly and said leisurely to Ji Shaojun, “Auntie will wake up tomorrow morning.”
Ji Shaojun was eating beside them.
When he heard Bai Lian speak, he thought she was just trying to comfort him, “Alright, it’s okay, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Ji Heng had stayed here for a whole day and night, would go back with Bai Lian in the evening, and bring food for Ji Shaojun the next morning.
Dr. Lance also followed Bai Lian downstairs, “Bai, acupuncture, give me acupuncture…”
“It’s ‘acupuncture’.” Bai Lian corrected.
The next day.
Morning.
Ji Mulan and Xu En routinely came to the hospital to see Shen Qing.
“You two are busy, you don’t need to come every day,” Ji Heng’s attitude towards Xu En had improved quite a bit. He then told Ji Shaojun, “Wash the fruit Xiaochen bought last night.”
Ji Shaojun went to wash the fruit.
The two of them were grateful to Xu En, but didn’t feel too close to him.
Ji Mulan looked at the fruit Ji Shaojun washed and placed there, and at Ji Heng’s attitude towards Xu En, which was not even as good as that toward “Xiaochen,” who was only mentioned verbally.
“I still have to go sign a contract with Director Liu,” Xu En was aware of this and didn’t plan to overstay his welcome with the family, “I will come again tomorrow.”
After people left.
Ji Mulan looked at Ji Heng and said with an uncertain tone, “You are not even as nice to us as that Xiaochen.”
She hadn’t figured it out. When she left Xiangcheng, she didn’t know that Ji Heng had an old friend who was fond of fishing.
Ji Heng frowned.
Just as he was about to say something, Ji Shaojun, who was sitting by the bed, suddenly pressed the emergency bell, excitedly saying, “Nurse! Nurse, she’s opening her eyes!”
Because Shen Qing had woken up.
A bunch of doctors and nurses came again, and the entire ward was crowded with people.
Ji Heng stood aside, no longer paying attention to Ji Mulan, just watching Shen Qing on the bed, suddenly remembering what Bai Lian had said the night before, that Shen Qing would wake this morning…
Did she really wake up?
A coincidence?
For the first time, he felt a bit uncertain about his granddaughter, shrouded in mystery.
Ji Mulan didn’t want to crowd with so many people. Just then, her cell phone rang in her bag. She took it out as she walked out. It was a call from Beicheng, “Hello.”
“Mu Lan, it’s me.” On the other end of the phone was a woman’s voice.
Ji Mulan stood in the middle of the hallway, pausing, her voice growing distant, “Mrs. Song.”
The person on the line laughed softly, her voice very gentle, “You’ve been out of touch for the past two years…”
“Just say what you want to say,” Ji Mulan pressed the elevator button and scoffed, “you don’t have to beat around the bush.”
“Alright then,” on the phone, Mrs. Song casually snipped off branch tips from a potted plant and threw the scissors aside, “Do you know that Bai Lian has left the Bai Family?”
The elevator doors opened, but Ji Mulan didn’t get on. At those words, the chill in her eyes deepened.
Hearing no reply, Mrs. Song understood and thought for a moment, “You know, Song Min and Bai Lian never got along since they were kids.”
Talking about her son, Mrs. Song’s voice became considerably softer.
“The two of them have different interests. Song Min has always liked research, and he’s going to Jiangjing University to be in a lab. The one who actually matches his interests is Shaoqi…” Mrs. Song stopped there, paused, and didn’t continue mentioning Bai Shaoqi to Ji Mulan, “That’s why Mr. Bai also agreed, to annul their engagement.”
Ji Mulan had always been quite satisfied with Song Min’s family background and talents.
Mrs. Song talking about annulling the engagement now, Ji Mulan was all too clear about her intentions.
Wasn’t it just to ally with that illegitimate daughter?
“Anything else?” Ji Mulan asked.
“You know about the Jade Pendant that was given when those two got engaged,” Mrs. Song said, her voice growing much colder, “but Bai Lian has always been reluctant to return it, not taking our calls.”
