He didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, Gao Lin found that it was already noon.
After washing up, I walked out of the hall and saw the old man wearing a pair of glasses and reading a newspaper.
"Grandpa." Gao Lin greeted as he walked over.
The old man raised his head slightly, and looked at Gao Lin with a pair of wise eyes, as if trying to find something wrong.
"Why are you back so suddenly?" Not finding anything wrong, the old man frowned and looked at him. Since what happened five years ago, Gao Lin has not returned to Lao Gao's house, although he did go back twice a while ago. But every time he would come back only if something happened. Otherwise, he would not normally step through the door of Lao Gao's house.
The old Gao family has only been passed down for several generations, and the number of people is sparse. The old man naturally loves Gao Lin very much. However, because of what happened five years ago, the old man who feels guilty does not want to care about him too much. However, as the only son of the old Gao family, Incense and bloodline, the old man had to pay attention to everything about him. However, after knowing that he was not doing anything wrong outside, he felt much more at ease.
As a politically powerful family, although the old man also wanted Gao Lin to inherit their mantle and continue to pass on the old Gao family's brand, he also knew Gao Lin's temperament. If he was forcefully forced to do something, he would resist. On the contrary, if you relax the control on him and wait for him to calm down, he will follow your wishes. This is what he does, he will accept soft things but not hard words.
"Come back to take care of some things and rest at home for a few days." Gao Lin simply replied, not wanting to talk about Zhang Ruoran.
"Yeah." After hearing Gao Lin's answer, the old man nodded and turned his gaze back to the newspaper in his hand.
Soon, he seemed to remember something, raised his head and said, "Girl Wei's parents will be coming over in two days. If you are free, please welcome them."
"What." Gao Lin was stunned and looked at the old man, "Grandpa, what are Weiwei's parents doing here?"
"What else can you do?" The old man glared at Gao Lin angrily, "You deceived my daughter into taking away my daughter. How can I, as a parent, just sit at home and wait for you to come and apologize?"
"This..." His face turned slightly red, Gao Lin didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and look at the ground.
"What's wrong with young people talking about relationships and going home to meet their parents?" Aunt Meng brought out two dishes from the kitchen and said to the old man, "I see, the people in the old Han family just can't wait."
"My daughter just went to college, why can't I wait?" He tilted his head and glared at Aunt Meng, then looked at Gao Lin, "On the other hand, you are already a grown man. I am at your age, and you..."
"Grandpa, today's era is not your era." Knowing what the old man wanted to say, Gao Lin interrupted him.
After saying that, he saw the old man's eyes glaring angrily, and wanted to say something again, so he turned around and walked to the kitchen: "I'll go to the kitchen to serve the food."
After lunch, Gao Lin called Sun Wei and asked him how Zhang Ruoran's funeral affairs were being handled. Sun Wei said that he had not gone back with Zhang Tianfu and did not know the situation.
Gao Lin wanted to call Zhang Tianfu, but considering that he might be busy with funeral arrangements, he didn't want to disturb him.
He really wasn't in the mood to go back and participate in the Confederations Cup offline finals, so Gao Lin called Mu Luorou.
"Hello, Xiao Lin?" The phone was connected, and a clear and pleasant voice came out. For some reason, hearing this voice, the sadness in Gao Lin's heart eased a lot.
"Cousin, it's me." After a moment of silence, Gao Lin replied.
"Why can't you get through your cell phone in the past two days?" Qingwan asked in a pleasant voice.
"I'm back to Kyoto." Gao Lin said, his tone seemed a bit low.
"Kyoto, when did you go back?" Qingwan's pleasant voice asked full of surprise.
"The night before yesterday."
"Don't you still want to compete? Why did you go back?"
"If so, let's go."
He seemed to hear a trace of sadness in Gao Lin's tone. The other party paused for a moment, and at the right time, a crisp and childish voice rang out: "Mom, mom, Xiaoxiao, please listen."
Qingwan's voice ignored the crisp voice and asked urgently: "What's going on? Didn't I say that my condition got better last time?"
"She jumped off the building." After saying these words, Gao Lin's eyes felt warm, "I was the one who killed her."
"Xiao Lin, don't think too much, we'll go back right away." Hearing Gao Lin's words, the other party panicked.
"Sister Rou, what's wrong?" Another clear and pleasant voice sounded from the phone, and that voice was full of concern.
Qingwan's voice did not reply, but said quickly: "Hey, Xiaolin, do you hear me? Don't think too much, we are going back."
Gao Lin gave a low response and didn't want to say anything else. He hung up the call and turned around, only to see Aunt Meng standing at the door of the room. Maybe she heard Gao Lin's words. She looked at Gao Lin blankly.
It took a while before he came to his senses, walked up to Gao Lin and asked softly: "Xiao Lin, tell Aunt Meng what is going on."
Gao Lin glanced at Aunt Meng, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Finally, he said: "The girl I used to like jumped off the building in the affiliated hospital and died."
Hearing Gao Lin's words, Aunt Meng couldn't help but be stunned. Soon, she came back to her senses, straightened Gao Lin's collar and said: "Xiao Lin, look away, you still have us."
"Aunt Meng, do you think I'm stupid for taking Wei Wei to see her?" Gao Lin looked at Aunt Meng and said.
"Xiao Lin, it's not your fault that you want to be more liberal. Everyone has the obligation to protect their own lives. No matter what happens, we can't give up our lives lightly. This is not only related to us personally, but also to the Those who care about and love us." She reached out and wiped the water droplets from the corners of Gao Lin's eyes. Aunt Meng comforted her in a low voice. She also knew something about Zhang Ruoran. That was two or three years ago. In order to understand Gao Lin's eyes, She asked someone to inquire about Lin's current situation. At that time, she heard that Gao Lin was in love with a girl named Zhang Ruoran from the same school. For this reason, she also learned about Zhang Ruoran in detail. After knowing that she was not that kind of immoral girl, Gao Lin was relieved to date her. However, the two did not get together in the end. Instead, Gao Lin brought Han Weiwei back.
She didn't know how Han Weiwei met and fell in love with Gao Lin, but after Gao Lin brought Han Weiwei home, she felt that her image, appearance and family background were very suitable for Gao Lin, and she was very satisfied. Although , Gao Lin is not her son, but she has seen Gao Lin since she was a child. To her, who has no children, Gao Lin is just like her son, and she is naturally very concerned about his affairs.
