Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 277 Beauty
Lying in the warehouse, Yan Hui stared at the ceiling, picked up his phone, and dialed his cousin's number.

"Xiao Hui? Why are you calling me?" My cousin asked, somewhat surprised.

"Brother, it's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I can come home for Chinese New Year this year." Yan Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh? That's great! By the way, how have you been lately?" my cousin asked, sounding a little nervous.

Since Yan Hui's accident, he has not dared to contact Yan Hui for the past two years, for fear of putting pressure on Yan Hui.

"I'm back on track now, bro. Although I haven't reached the peak of Jianye's success, I've basically achieved everything I need." Yan Hui glanced at the calendar on the wall, slightly lost in thought.

"My God. You're back to where you were in just two years? You're amazing! I'm a little better than before, but the more I do, the more I realize how big the gap is between us back then. So, you've surpassed me again?" My cousin was completely stunned.

He knew exactly what Yan Hui was like in Jinan!

"That shouldn't be the case. I've heard you're doing quite well over there. How much capital do you have now, brother?" Yan Hui hadn't chatted with his cousin in a long time, so he asked a few more questions.

"I estimate I have over 400,000 yuan now, all in total," my cousin and Yan Hui said without hiding anything.

He has indeed made great progress compared to two years ago.

"To be honest, I've taken advantage of you. Some of your old clients still secretly contact me. Sigh. Although business is ruthless, many people still miss you in today's market. After all, making money with you was easier than it is now." My cousin sighed.

"Unfortunately, no one will help me then. I wouldn't say I fully understand business matters, but when it comes to business, I'll never be as naive as before." Yan Hui had truly seen through things.

He has a million now, so of course he sees things clearly.

"That's true, no matter what, you're doing well now! So? Do you want to come back? You should have several hundred thousand by now, right? If you come back, I'll be with you, and I think we can get back on our feet!" My cousin said excitedly.

"I have the money, but right now, I have a wider path to take here than in Jianye, so I'm not considering going back there for the time being." Yan Hui didn't want to go back to that place of heartbreak. He was in Quancheng now, and following President Han clearly offered him a better future.

"I'm actually quite happy to hear that! It means you've really made it big in Jinan!" my cousin exclaimed excitedly. "I'll come visit you in Jinan next year when I have time!"

"Haha, come anytime, I'll arrange the most beautiful girl in Jinan for you!" Yan Hui laughed loudly.

It's been two years, and this is the first time I've dared to make a phone call like this to my cousin.

“Okay! I’ll come over after the New Year!” My cousin immediately agreed upon hearing this.

After joking around for a while, Yan Hui became serious: "Brother, there's something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead," my cousin said, his smile fading.

"Do you remember that girl I met back then? The one from Jianye?" Yan Hui finally asked.

“I know who you’re talking about,” my cousin sighed. “She came to the market looking for you. She knows about your situation.”

"It seems she's contacted you?" Yan Hui asked again.

"I did try to talk to her, but I didn't say anything. Mainly, I didn't know what to say. By the way, what's your relationship? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" His cousin was also curious. "I guess so, but not really. I've never formally confessed, and there haven't been any intimate gestures. We get along quite well; her dad even talked to me about marriage. Sigh. Jianye's situation... I've practically died once. Facing her again now, I don't really have any face left. I don't think she treats me the same way she did two years ago. It's not that she's materialistic, but my disappearance for two years was definitely my fault." Yan Hui had already figured it out in his heart.

"Huh? You didn't even confess your feelings? If you ask me, you're really useless in this area," the cousin said, speechless.

If it were him, his child would probably be two years old by now.

"I might not be very good at it," Yan Hui felt, admitting that his work style was indeed a bit rigid. He was suited for business, but when it came to romance, he was really a bit clueless.

"I understand, I understand. So why are you asking me now what my plans are?" my cousin asked, somewhat curious.

"Her home address is over there, specifically ** Street, ** Number. If you have time, could you try to find out about her situation for me?" Yan Hui was still worried about her.

"Okay, leave this to me. I'm quite familiar with that area you mentioned, and it's not far." My cousin agreed.

After hanging up with his cousin, Yan Hui was already preparing to go home for the Chinese New Year.

This year, he didn't need to keep an eye on the warehouse anymore. His brother-in-law arranged for Wang Yongjun to help out there, and Yan Hui and his brother-in-law each gave him 2000 yuan as overtime pay for the New Year.

In the past, if Yan Hui had a million, he would have definitely made a big fuss about buying things and showing off when he returned to the village. But this year, he just plans to keep a low profile. He wants to prepare some gifts to thank those who helped him two years ago; nothing else matters.

After tidying up for two or three days, Yan Hui received another call from his cousin. After answering the call, Yan Hui felt a little uneasy.

"Xiao Hui, I just found out the result of what you asked me to inquire about. I'm afraid it's not something you can easily accept," my cousin said, sounding somewhat dejected.

"Is she married? It's okay, brother, I can accept it." Yan Hui had nothing he couldn't accept.

"No... she's sick and is currently receiving treatment abroad. Her father took her to the United States. I asked around at a hospital in Shanghai, and she was diagnosed with nasal cancer, and it's in its late stage. The hospital in Shanghai said she was transferred to another hospital. I can't find out anything about the situation in the United States, but... sigh." My cousin sighed.

"Huh?" Yan Hui felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

A series of images flashed through his mind instantly. She had indeed had a stuffy nose several times and had caught a cold several times, but Yan Hui had never imagined it would be this kind of thing.
Nasal cancer? Huh?

How could this be?
"Isn't the medical care in the US exceptionally good? Wouldn't she be able to get cured if she went there?" Yan Hui asked anxiously.

"I don't know. I've found everyone I could, and that's all I can tell you." My cousin looked out the window. "Xiao Hui, there are some things I probably don't need to say anymore."

"Brother, I understand, thank you." Yan Hui hung up the phone, looking completely lost.

Yan Hui remained absent-minded for the entire day, his mind blank, not knowing what he was thinking. In his current state, it was impossible for him to find someone to inquire about the situation in America, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that he simply didn't dare to inquire; he was afraid.

He only regained a little consciousness when Lingling came to him asking for dinner. He touched Lingling's head but said nothing.

(well)
