Chapter 380: Chapter 381 Zhu Danchen’s Whereabouts
“Does… does mom know that she is sick?”
“No,” Father Shu stubbed out the cigarette on the window sill and said. “Same as when we went to the county to see a doctor, I asked the doctor to make up a lie. I told her that it is a minor problem. Now the doctor is telling her what she should do normally…”
“What about Tong Tong?” Mother Shu asked with worries, “Do you want her to know?”
Father Shu thought for a moment and shook his head, “Let’s wait for a while and then tell her. The school holidays are about to start soon, we can tell her at that time. She has always been very close to mom when she was young. I’m worried that if we told her too early, she would not be able to bring herself to lie to mom. And then mom would find out her condition…”
“I feel that… Mom already knew about it a long time ago,” Mother Shu smiled bitterly, “Otherwise, why didn’t she ask anything or feel strange when we brought her here? And why did she insist that she wanted to see Tong Tong and her boyfriend? Mom has always been worried about Tong Tong, and she wants to see Tong Tong’s child before, before she….”
“Stop crying, otherwise, mom will find out…”
“You also need to stop smoking. Mom knows that you will always smoke when you are troubled by something. Let’s bring mom back to the hotel. Maybe, Xiao Chu and Tong Tong are in the hotel now. Don’t mention the things between Xiao Chu and Liusu, mom quite likes Xiao Chu, I haven’t seen her smile for a long time…”
“I know…”
Watching them walk into the clinic again while holding each other, I felt that my heart was very heavy, and I knew that their steps were as heavy as my heart.
It turned out that the reason why the parents of Shu Tong wanted Shu Tong to find a fake boyfriend was this…
I walked down the stairs absentmindedly and then bumped into Xiao Yike and Yao Wan’er who were looking for me.
“Uncle, where did you go? I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and I’m about to call you!”
“I went out to have some fresh air…” I said while still thinking about what I had just found out.
“Went out to have some fresh air?” Xiao Yike looked behind me, “But you obviously came down from upstairs…”
Before Xiao Yike could finish speaking, Yao Wan’er who also noticed my abnormality said with concern, “Elder Brother Nan, is everything okay?”
I knew that they had noticed my abnormality, so I quickly concealed it, pretending to be relaxed, and said, “Of course, why did you ask this?”
“No, nothing…” Yao Wan’er didn’t believe it, but she was also very considerate and did not continue to ask me. Xiao Yike also opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to ask, but eventually she held her questions back.
. . .
Xiao Yike originally wanted to follow me back to my flat. She said that she wanted to see Yuan Yuan. But after hearing that Dongfang Lianren was currently living in my flat because she had run away from home, and I still needed to meet with Shu Tong’s family at night, she changed her mind.
However, it was not that she didn’t miss Yuan Yuan. She was just worried that Yuan Yuan would ask her to stay overnight, and then she would have to sleep with Dongfang on the same bed. You have to know that Minx’s sleeping posture was much worse than Yuan Yuan’s… I didn’t tell her that Dong Xiaoye was also living in my flat temporarily lest she would not stop asking me questions. After all, she didn’t know what I did in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort yet.
Now that I had found out the real reason for Shu Tong’s parents’ visit, I felt very guilty. Shu Tong still didn’t know all this. If she knew, I believe that she would feel even more guilty than me… I didn’t even dare to imagine how she would react.
On the way to send Yao Wan’er and Xiao Yike home, the two girls each said some strange things.
Xiao Yike told me that I didn’t need to worry about offending Lin Yunan today. Lin Yunan’s family did have some background, but he dared not retaliate against me. When I asked her why, she said that he would not dare to mess with the people that Zhang Peiwen didn’t dare to mess with.
Based on what she said, it seemed like Lin Yunan and Zhang Peiwen knew each other, and their relationship was quite close. But thinking that they were both studying at Bei Tian University, I was no longer surprised about it. However, when Xiao Yike told me this, her expression showed that there seemed to be other reasons why he didn’t dare to mess with me.
Since she didn’t plan to tell me everything, I didn’t plan to dig deeper. After all, it was not like I would be scared of his retaliation. The two brothers of the Zhang family, Liu Xiaosheng, Mo Yizhi, and even the Third Lady, I had offended too many people recently, so offending one more person wouldn’t make much difference. As the saying goes, if you have a lot of debts, you will stop worrying about it, and if you have a lot of lice, you will stop feeling itchy.
Yao Wan’er on the other hand had been drawing with pen and paper to help me calculate how much it would cost to renovate Zhu Danchen’s school. It seemed to be her occupational habit to do something like this, but her professional attitude still surprised me.
She not only calculated the renovation of the school and the additional facilities like the school infirmary, but also drafted a set of management and teaching models, and combined the local population and living conditions to formulate a corresponding enrollment plan.
This enrollment plan was like a business strategy plan of how to compete with other schools. It mentioned that not only the school must be renovated, but it must also be expanded to a certain extent— Of course, her plan would be not feasible because she roughly estimated that the budget of this plan would be more than 2.7 million yuan. Even if with the money I donated to the school, it would still not be enough…
Therefore, I felt Yao Wan’er’s occupational habit was very silly…
As soon as I entered the door, I was caught in the neck by Dong Xiaoye wearing the uniform of the national football team.
“You idiot, why don’t you turn on your phone? ”
“Huh?” I took the phone out of my pocket and saw that it was really turned off…
Dong Xiaoye sneered and said with an enigmatic tone, “So one night is not enough? You went to see her this morning again”
“Nonsense.” Thinking of the scenes last night, my face blushed.
“Then you are with another woman?”
Sister Tiger’s nose was as keen as a dog. I hurriedly denied, “Do I look like someone who went out to meet with a woman secretly? Would you date me if I have this kind of appearance?”
Only until now did Dong Xiaoye notice my appearance, “God, what did you do? Did you have a fight with someone? Or did you fall into a manhole?”
“You fell into a manhole!” I threw the phone on the table and said annoyedly, “Even if you don’t have any sympathy for me, you should express some concern a little, right? What if Xu Heng came to find me and kidnapped me, then what are you going to do? Are you going to kill yourself because you failed to protect me?”
Knowing that I was joking, Dong Xiaoye still had a trace of lingering fear flashing on her face, but she tried to hide it, pretending not to care, and said, “It’s not worth it to kill myself because I failed to protect you. In fact, I hope he would really come to kidnap you, in that way, we would have some leads.”
Damn this woman, she still treated me as bait.
“I went to your Sister Danchen’s school to see Ku’er. She was playing football with a group of boys. I played with them for a while and got dirty.” I shook my head and smiled. While talking perfunctorily, I took off my shirt.
“You went to Sister Danchen’s school?”
“Yes.”
“You are lying!” Dong Xiaoye walked into the bathroom with me, “Why did Sister Danchen call me and say that she wants to talk to you if you are in her school?”
“When did she call you?”
“One o’clock!” Dong Xiaoye lied.
“When did you call me?”
“Of course one o’clock as well!”
I turned around and looked into her eyes with a sneer, “Say it again, what time?”
“It seems to be one o’clock…” Dong Xiaoye looked sideways guiltily, her face blushed. “It seems to be… three o’clock…” She thought for a second and then said embarrassedly.
Seeing that I just smiled at her without saying anything, she said in a huff, “I hadn’t woken up when Sister Danchen called me at one o’clock, so I didn’t hear the phone ringing. It was almost three o’clock when I saw it, but I called her back immediately. What’s so funny about it! If I didn’t stay up all night yesterday, would I be sleeping today?”
“Ms. Ji told me that Sister Danchen went out when I went to the school. Did she say what she wanted to talk to me about?” I changed the topic to the original topic and said.
“No… Wait no, she said that she didn’t know what happened,” Dong Xiaoye said, “She told me that she was going to your company. And it was Mo Fei who called her.”
“Mo Fei?”
