Chapter 8 The background
There is a lock on the door, but you can see through the glass window that the interior is neat and clean, and it should still be open normally. Xu Wendy is not very good at oil painting. He has seen several works hanging on the wall, all of which depict the scenery of autumn and winter. Each painting must have a path, either in the forest, or one after another, the blue sea. The picture is very beautiful, but can such a single theme be sold at a good price? Xu Wendy expressed doubts.
The two waited at the door for a long time, and finally the "store owner" came. The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged woman with a slightly fat body. She looked at her appearance and dress, and there was still a certain gap with the "beautiful painter" in the photo.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Haoya?" Zhong Jianan rubbed his temple twice and asked tentatively. I thought that even after a few years, a person will not change so much.
"You came to Miss Fang to buy paintings. Unfortunately, she is sick and hospitalized." The aunt first looked at Zhong Jianan. The white and handsome young man would not help but look twice, and then turned her eyes to Xu Wendy behind him. She stared at the girl's face at a glance. After a long time, she turned around. As she opened the lock, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "How can it be so similar..."
"Excuse me, which hospital does Ms. Fang live in?" The sudden news was really unprepared. Zhong Jianan looked at Xu Wendy sadly and hurriedly caught up to help ask.
"Aren't you here to buy paintings?" The door opened, and the middle-aged woman was not in a hurry to enter the store, but turned around and looked at the two young people in front of her again. "Miss Fang is very sick. I came so early to help her pack some things and send them over. If you are familiar with her, why don't you go to see her with me later?"
First of all, there is an inexplicable Haoya gallery. Secondly, there is really the word Haoya in the name of Qiong's biological mother. Xu Wendy doesn't dare to talk more, because soon she will be able to see Qiong's biological mother. Saying more means a lot of mistakes. As the saying goes, a failure will lead to eternal hatred. Let's look at her "daughter" at that time. How can you hold on?
"Qiao, what are you doing? Hurry up and keep up!" Zhong Jianan stopped and turned around. He happened to see Xu Wendi, who was worried, taking several steps.
The scene of recognizing the marriage was completely beyond her plan. She was not afraid, but her heart was sour. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was her own emotions or the consciousness left in her body. I don't know what will happen when I see Fang Haoya, but don't be as uncontrollable as when my grandmother passed away. Xu Wendy lowered her eyes and unconsciously stopped.
There are two more shoes in the front, not Zhong Jianan's rubber shoes, but a pair of bright brown leather shoes.
Xu Wendy's eyes on strangers have always been relatively economical, so he looked at the man's face as soon as he picked it up. In a hurry, what impressed me was that in addition to the man's tall figure, it was a blue tie with a full bow tie.
The lighter the blue is, the more picky it is. Fortunately, the man in front of him has good skin, good temperament, and looks very familiar.
"Miss, this is yours, isn't it?" The man has a pair of beautiful hands and gentle eyes.
His smile was clean, and Xu Wendy couldn't help but be stunned. Although he was not uncommon in his last life, he knew that he was famously gentle and elegant, but after all, he was an opponent who had been competing with him in business for many years. How could he show such a kind smile to her?
After being stunned for three seconds, she suddenly realized that her skin is not Xu Wendy, but a fisherman's girl, a pure, beautiful and naive fishing village girl. Even if her soul cannot be successfully transformed, her appearance is absolutely full of confusion.
"It's mine." Xu Wendy hurriedly lowered her head and took the envelope handed over by the man. She thought so much that she didn't pay attention to the photo.
The man smiled gently again. The smile was like the melting of winter snow, and he couldn't stand it.
He knew that it was right to say thank you, but in the face of him, Xu Wendy opened his mouth, but she couldn't say it, so she had to smile. Although she was a little silly, it was better than making herself awkward.
"Mr. Chu, it's really great to see you here. I helped Miss Fang pack some frequently changed clothes, but the monitoring room is not allowed to visit the doctor, so I have to trouble you." The middle-aged woman who came with Zhong Jianan and Xu Wendi ran over with a burden in her hand, bowed and saluted, and her eyes were red. It seemed that she had been taking care of Fang Haoya.
"Oc. Give it to me. There are still a lot of things to take care of in the gallery. You can go back first." The man surnamed Chu mentioned the burden, and his tone seemed to tell his family's servant.
"Yes, yes." The middle-aged woman agreed. She glanced at Xu Wendy before taking a step. She patted her head and stood still, "Oh, look at my memory. Mr. Chu, these two people said that they came to find Miss Fang. I guessed that they were acquaintances of Miss Fang, so I brought them here.
"Well, I see." The man nodded and noticed Zhong Jianan behind him.
Compared with Xu Wendy's cotton long skirt that has been washed N times, Zhong Jianan wears much more. T-shirts, jeans, travel bags, and clean student appearance.
"My name is Chu Ran, and I'm a student of Mr. Fang." With a slight jaw, the man first made a brief self-introduction.
Zhong Jianan doesn't know whether Xu Wendi believes it or not. Anyway, she won't believe it. If the eldest son of the Chu family wants to learn oil painting, he can't hire a master. It's hard to say that he will worship a gallery owner as a teacher.
"My name is Zhong Jianan. We came here to help Jiajiao find her biological mother." After saying that, Zhong Jianan put his backpack on the ground, reached out and touched the bag for a long time, and found a folded letterhead.
What is it? Xu Wendy didn't expect that Zhong Jianan had something to hide from her. He frowned and stared at the paper for a moment.
"Please give this to Ms. Fang. I believe she will understand it after reading it." Zhong Jianan sighed and came forward.
"Mr. Fang is now in the intensive care unit, and outsiders can't visit him." Looking at the letterhead handed to him, Chu Ran said lightly.
"I know you can do it." Zhong Jianan didn't have a good impression on Chu Ran, so regardless of whether he was willing or not, he directly grabbed Chu Ran's hand and stuffed the letterwritten into the palm of his hand. Then, he held the backpack in one hand, pulled Xu Wendy with the other, and said, "Chao, let's sit over there and wait for the news."
Chu Ran was made to laugh and cry by Zhong Jianan's recklessness, so he had to shake his head and put the letterhead in his hand into his trousers pocket. Well, that boy is right. He can indeed enter the intensive care unit as the largest shareholder of this hospital. As long as he thinks so, everything is not a problem.
"What did you give him? Why have I never seen you take it out?" Xu Wendy picked up the corners of his eyes and stared at Zhong Jianan's head.
"Well, that's what my father gave me before leaving the fishing village, saying that it was the only letter that your mother wrote to him after sending you to foster care." Zhong Jianan hesitated, but did not dare to look up, like a child who had done something wrong.
"What did you write? Why are you hiding it from me?" Xu Wendy pretended to be angry and pulled his hand out of Zhong Jianan's palm. There may be some background descriptions in that letter. It's better for her to read it than to cover it like this.
"I don't know what to write. Dad said, I can't watch it, and neither can you." Zhong Jianan secretly glanced at Xu Wendy, with a little helpless grievance in his eyes.
"You are really obedient..." Such an answer is really speechless.
One day after waiting, Chu Ran was like evaporating from the world, and he didn't even look at a shadow. Zhong Jianan went to the intensive care area several times. Sure enough, there was no accident, and all of them were blocked by the nurse.
"Why don't... Let's go back to the hotel first." Xu Wendy stopped Zhong Jianan, who was about to break into the intensive care area, and whispered. I thought that it's not a bad thing not to see Fang Haoya, at least I don't have to bother to lie.
"No way! The letter is still in that guy's hand. I'm going to find him and get it back. Zhong Jianan was anxious and regretful, but he searched the whole hospital and didn't find the man. So, he decided to sit at the door of the intensive care unit with his backpack in his arms. He didn't believe it. Will that guy leave his teacher alone?
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Xu Wendy simply didn't bother. On the one hand, you don't have to watch Zhong Jianan swinging in front of your eyes; on the other hand, the rest area you stay in is on the same floor as the intensive care unit. If anything happens, you can get the news as soon as possible.
It's just... Where did Chu Ran go? With his knowledge of him, he will not believe in words.
It was getting late. Xu Wendy leaned her head against the handle of the chair. She was the only one left in the rest area. Medical advertisements were broadcast repeatedly on the LCD screen, which made people feel sleepy.
"Are you asleep?" I felt that as soon as I closed my eyes in a daze, someone came to pat me on the shoulder.
"You?" Opening his eyes, he bumped into a gentle smiling face. And the owner of the smiling face turned out to be Chu Ran.
"I'll take you somewhere." Chu Ran stood up straight and made a gesture to Xu Wendy.
If it had been the same behavior before, Chu Ran would not have smiled so gently and cleanly at her.
The corridor was very long and quiet. Xu Wendy followed Chu Ran. Because she was wearing reed shoes on her feet, there was almost no sound, which made Chu Ran had to walk for a while to see if she could keep up.
Xu Wendy knew that Chu Ran was going to take herself to see Fang Haoya, so she followed carefully and kept thinking about how to answer for a while. If Fang Haoya is the mother of Gao Biao, she should know that she knows that Kiao's brain is broken because of illness. If so, she may pretend to be stupid on some issues...
