Things like "18 years old but looks like 14 years old" are easy to explain, after all, some people just look younger.
But she dropped out of school due to internet addiction... Is Xiao Xia a problem girl?
But it doesn’t look like it.
Also, why do you speak in such a halting manner?
"Well, Xiao Xia, uncle didn't mean anything else."
After a moment of silence, Qin Jianyou whispered, "Don't your parents care about you?"
“…They went abroad.”
Xia Yunian seemed stunned for a moment, but soon replied calmly: "I haven't been back for a long time."
"Ah? Going abroad?"
Qin Jianyou was even more confused: "Who takes care of you?"
"There was no one before, but now it's my cousin."
Xia Yunian raised his head, his expression very serious: "My cousin gives me food, and I do laundry and housework for him."
"..."
No, this really isn’t a nanny?
Why does it sound so much like a maid in the old society?
Qin's father and mother opened their mouths in shock for a moment.
They originally thought that Xia Yunian and Lu Chen had a very "normal" brother and sister relationship.
But listening to it now...it seems more like a pair of lonely and miserable people who depend on each other for survival.
Of course, although they were not clear about Xia Yunian’s family situation, they both knew Lu Chen’s family situation.
So the situation now is...
Xiao Lu kindly took in his poor internet-addicted cousin who had no one to take care of her?
Well, it looks very pitiful.
I've only had a few sips of the milk tea, but I don't want to drink it anymore.
Looking at Xia Yunian putting the remaining half cup of Yangzhi Ganlu back into the bag, Fu Lanxia asked softly:
"Xiao Xia, don't you like to drink?"
"like."
Xia Yunian shook his head honestly: "It tastes good."
"If you like it, drink more. Don't be embarrassed."
Fu Lanxia looked distressed: "After you finish drinking, Auntie will buy you more."
"I'm not sorry, I'm just full."
In the face of Fu Lanxia's bewildered gaze, Xia Yunian still answered honestly:
"It would be a waste if I threw it away, so I planned to take it back and give it to my cousin to drink."
"..."
???
Her expression changed from confusion to astonishment, and Fu Lanxia's head was suddenly filled with question marks.
At this time, Qin Jianyou quietly poked her arm and handed her the phone.
"Look, Xiaoqing just sent me a message..."
Chapter 283 Qingbao feels bitter, but cannot say it
[Dad, let’s just pretend we don’t know what Dean Wang said for now. I’ll talk to Lu Chen about it tomorrow.]
The message Qin Wanqing sent consisted of just one sentence, but it left Qin Jianyou and Fu Lanxia very puzzled.
Why do you pretend you don’t know?
What can't you say today? Why do you have to wait until tomorrow?
They looked at each other, both of them were very confused.
But since their daughter said so, she must have her reasons, so they had no choice but to do as she said.
Qin Jianyou: [Okay.]
Qin Wanqing: [Yes! Come back in ten minutes!]
Qin Jianyou: [Okay...]
Ugh......
As if he had seen what his daughter and Lu Chen had done in the ward, Qin Jianyou sighed silently in his heart, put down his phone, and continued to chat with Xia Yunian on a completely different channel.
At the same time, in the ward, Qingbao put down her phone and looked at Lu Chen, who was playing with something seriously, with a red face.
Humph! Big pervert!
How could one make such an outrageous request in such a sacred place?
Yeah, it's itchy...
......
......
Twenty minutes later, Qin's father and mother finally brought Xia Yunian back to the ward.
Not only did he take ten extra minutes, but he also knocked on the door before entering, probably because he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't.
Fortunately, Qin Wanqing and Lu Chen were just lying on the bed and sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like they were chatting, and there was nothing unusual.
The only thing was that Qingbao's socks had fallen to the ground at some point.
"Is it hot?"
"Kid, you can't throw your socks around even when it's hot."
Fu Lanxia muttered to herself as she picked up the socks and folded them, while Xia Yunian handed the half-drunk milk tea to Lu Chen.
"Give you milk tea."
"You brought it for me...why did you open it?"
"I drank some."
"..."
Lu Chen's expression froze, and he handed the milk tea to Qin Wanqing: "Drink it."
"Xiao Lu, you can drink it, Xiao Qing can't drink it."
Fu Lanxia smiled and explained: "You can only drink water before the operation."
"Oh, so... But didn't Wanqing eat yesterday?"
Lu Chen reacted: "Doesn't that mean he hasn't eaten for two days?"
"Yes, but that's what the doctor ordered."
Fu Lanxia shook her head, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at the wall clock.
"Xiao Lu, it's still early, why don't you take Xiao Xia out for dinner first."
"That's fine..."
There were still two hours before the operation, and if he stayed here he would just have awkward conversations with Qin Jianyou and Fu Lanxia, so Lu Chen stood up decisively.
"Uncle and aunt, what do you want to eat? I'll bring you some."
“We can do anything.”
"Okay, I'll buy some."
After agreeing and nodding to Qin Wanqing, Lu Chen left again with Xia Yunian, who had just returned less than two minutes ago.
After they left, Qin Jianyou immediately asked Xiang Qingbao.
"Xiao Qing, what's going on? Didn't you just talk to Lu Chen about the foreign experts?"
Ok.
Qin Wanqing nodded, indicating that she didn't say it.
"Why?"
Qin Jianyou was very puzzled: "Xiao Lu hid it from us out of kindness, but now we all know it, so why pretend that he doesn't know?"
Because the person who actually spent money to invite foreign experts was not Lu Chen, but Lu Shuyu!
Qin Wanqing did not type a reply immediately, but just bit her lips lightly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Some are painful, and some are at a loss.
Although she looked silly most of the time, she was not really stupid. She just didn't think as quickly as Lu Chen.
But once he had enough time to think, Qingbao felt that he was still very smart.
So she didn't think that the foreign experts were invited by Lu Chen.
Because inviting foreign experts to come would cost at least one million.
Even if Lu Chen could earn tens of thousands of yuan during his internship, he definitely couldn't afford that much money.
And the only one who has so much money and is willing to use it to treat his illness...is obviously Lu Shuyu.
What's more, there is this bouquet of flowers from "Miss Lu"...
Turning around and looking at the bouquet of flowers on the windowsill, Qin Wanqing felt even more conflicted.
In her opinion, the story probably went something like this:
Lu Chen knew that he was about to undergo surgery, and also understood that the success rate of the surgery was very low, so he wanted to help himself.
