Qin Fangang casually put on his jacket and said in a low voice, "She doesn't like to change rooms. Every time she comes, she stays in only one room. I know where she is. You should go back and rest. I'll find her myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode toward the elevator.
Qin Huimin was half-sitting on the hospital bed. She would stay in this room for two days every month when she came for a check-up.
Her health was not very good because she had undergone surgery before. Although her condition was under control to a certain extent, she still had to undergo regular checkups every month. Of course, this was also because Qin Fangang was worried about his mother's health. He had specially agreed with Qin Yunmin's attending doctor that she would undergo regular checkups every month. During the few days that she was waiting for the test results, she would stay in this ward.
"Auntie, eat this."
Si Tuyan placed the apple that she had just cut into pieces on a plate. She stuck a toothpick on the side and handed it to Qin Huimin. She had a round face and was very cute. When she smiled, it was even harder to take one's eyes off her. At least, Qin Huimin liked her very much.
"My Yan, you're such a good girl. Your Fan Gang will be here soon. You haven't seen him in a while. Do you miss him?"
Qin Huimin's leg was indeed in a cast, but it did not affect other things. She casually took a piece of apple and smiled at her future daughter-in-law.
Si Tuyan was young and shy, but she was very honest in front of Qin Huimin. She nodded and said, "… Yes. Actually, when Brother Fan Gang left, I was really not used to it. Moreover, I still have two years before I graduate. I've been in England all this time, and Brother Fan Gang is in D City … But fortunately, I'm on vacation soon. This year, I told Dad that I'm going back to D City!"
"It's good to go back and watch over your Fan Gang. Yan, Auntie has always liked you. I'm just waiting for you to call me 'Mom' when you graduate."
Si Tuyan's face instantly turned red when she heard this. She was a little shy and reached out to grab Qin Huimin's hand. Her soft little fingers gently rubbed Qin Huimin's palm as her voice became even softer. "… Auntie, don't say that. We haven't even started dating yet! Brother Fan Gang didn't say that he likes me or wants to marry me … "
"Yes, why not?"
Qin Yunmin frowned and said with a serious face, "Even if you don't, Auntie will personally add it on for you. It's up to you whether you're willing or not. Yan, are you willing? "
"… Auntie, I …"
Si Tuyan lowered her eyes and was about to say something when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed in from the outside. There was a rush of footsteps. Qin Huimin seemed to have a telepathic connection. He hurriedly put the toothpick in his hand on the plate and lay back down on the bed.
"… Fan Gang Brother!"
Si Tuyan was the first to see Qin Fangang enter the room. She jumped up excitedly and the blush on her face deepened. She was rippling with a different kind of lust. She was a little girl who couldn't hide her feelings for her older brother whom she had admired for more than ten years.
Situ Yan had always had a very complicated feeling towards Qin Fangang. She had always treated him as her own brother, but such an outstanding man was too easily moved by a woman. In addition, Qin Yunmin had always intentionally or unintentionally tried to matchmake them. The balance in her heart had gradually tilted in the direction of Qin Fangang.
Qin Fangang didn't pay much attention to Si Tuyan's expression. His deep and handsome face was full of worry. He frowned and walked directly to the edge of the bed. He leaned over slightly and asked, "Mom, how are you feeling? How could you be so careless? "
"I'm fine."
Qin Huimin was naturally overjoyed to see her son. The injury on her body wasn't a big deal. It was just a slight fracture. She struggled to sit up, grabbed Qin Fangang and looked at him from head to toe. Then, she shook her head and said, "… Look at you. You've lost weight. You haven't come to see me for half a month. I miss you so much. No matter what happens this time, you have to stay for two more days. Do you understand?"
Qin Fangang had always respected Qin Huimin. She was his only family in this world. Back then, she was banished from D City to give birth to him. She lived in a foreign place like England for more than 20 years.
A woman who didn't even know the most basic spoken English was pregnant for ten months. She gave birth in such a foreign country, and the man who made her pregnant never came to see her from the beginning to the end. Qin Fangang could fully understand how tormented and lonely his mother had been all these years.
Therefore, he swore to be doubly filial to her.
"Okay."
The deep male voice was very gentle. "Mom, have a good rest. I'll stay in England for the next two days."
"Brother Fan Gang, does that mean you can celebrate my birthday with me?"
When Situ Yan heard that Qin Fangang had agreed to stay in England, she smiled like a blooming flower. She skipped over and grabbed Qin Fangang's wrist without hesitation and shook it. "That's great! Brother Fan Gang, I thought you wouldn't celebrate my birthday with me this year. I was disappointed for a long time, but when Auntie told me, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to really come. "
"Your Fan Gang didn't just come. He also brought you a gift." Qin Huimin raised her eyebrows and smiled as she helped Qin Fangang finish the sentence.
Situ Yan was even happier. "Really? Brother Fan Gang, what gift did you bring me? "
Qin Fangang had a headache. He knew Situ Yan's personality very well. It was normal for her to be enthusiastic or not. However, it was impossible for him not to know his own mother. In comparison, Qin Huimin's words and actions were too obvious.
"Yes, but I don't think I can give it to you yet …"
He raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "I'll get someone to bring it to you in the morning. Yan, it's already very late. The driver is at the hospital entrance. You should go back and rest. That way, you'll have the energy to celebrate your birthday tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"Okay!"
Situ Yan agreed readily. "Since Brother Fan Gang is here, I'll leave in peace. Auntie, have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
When Situ Yan was about to leave, Qin Huimin immediately pushed Qin Fangang and insisted that he send her off.
Qin Fangang couldn't refuse. Plus, it was indeed very late. As a girl, she had no excuse not to send her off. So, he left the ward with her. However, he only sent her to the elevator. On the way, he called the driver and asked him to come up and pick Situ Yan up.
After Situ Yan left, Qin Fangang returned to the ward. Just as he reached the door and was about to push it open, he heard Qin Huimin's voice from inside. She was probably on the phone. He didn't know what the person on the other end said, but her voice sounded a little tense.
"… I don't know what you're talking about. After so many years, I've never thought of taking back what belongs to you. It wasn't my idea for Fan Gang to go back either. You don't have to specially warn me … What did you say? I don't believe you! … I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to say more. Please don't contact me in the future … "
"…"
Qin Fangang's five fingers subconsciously tightened around the doorknob. He had been running around all night and had been tense for a long time. At this moment, his temples were throbbing even more frequently. The tingling sensation made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
The man's thin lips were tightly pressed together. They were incomparably sharp. There was no sound coming from inside, but he stood at the door and didn't enter. After a while, he turned around and walked to the end of the long corridor. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he lit a cigarette. He opened the window with one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He silently inhaled and exhaled.
…
"Sir, I'm sorry. Smoking is not allowed here."
A blonde nurse with blue eyes came over. She spoke fluent English and told him that smoking was not allowed here. Qin Fangang nodded politely. He reached out and crushed the cigarette butt and threw it into the bin. He said, "Sorry." Then, he strode toward the ward.
When he pushed the door open this time, Qin Huimin happened to reach for the glass of water on the bedside table. When Qin Fangang saw this, he strode over and handed the glass to her.
"Xiaoyan, you've gone back?" Qin Huimin took two sips of water and asked gently.
Qin Fangang only responded with an "Uh huh." He glanced at Qin Huimin and suddenly said, "Mom, can I borrow your phone to make a call? I was in such a hurry when I came over that I even left my phone in the condominium in D City."
Qin Huimin didn't take out her phone. She merely handed the glass in her hand to Qin Fangang. After he put it down, she said, "Have you always been living in your own condominium in D City?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you stay at the Lu residence? Your dad didn't tell me about this. Has your life with the Lu family been difficult? "
"Mom, don't think too much. I just want to live in the condominium because I feel more free. The Lu family doesn't affect me. I won't deliberately do anything for anyone."
"Really?"
Qin Huimin's eyes narrowed. The gentle smile on her face instantly vanished. Her tone wasn't as gentle as before. Instead, it sounded a little reproachful. "Fan Gang, you've always been obedient to me since you were young. I've always trusted you because you've never lied to me. But now … did you lie to me about something?"
Qin Fangang had a vague idea in his heart. When he heard the call earlier, he suspected that it was from someone in D City. However, based on his mother's tone, he was certain that it couldn't be Lu Shiyun. Therefore, the most likely person was Li Muhua.
He didn't know if Li Muhua knew anything, but if she did, it wouldn't be strange. She wasn't a simple woman. She had always seen him as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. When something happened to Xin Yu, because she hit Xin Yu, he got someone to do something to her in a fit of anger. Li Muhua wasn't that stupid. After so many days, she should have found some clues …
Qin Fangang didn't plan to hide Xin Yu completely. Before this, he already had plans to talk to his mother about him and Xin Yu. He couldn't let her live in secrecy for the rest of her life. If he wanted her to overcome the most difficult hurdle in this world, he had to first help her stand in front of her family openly.
