After a long pause, I said to Liang Jing: "Stop talking about this now. My mother is awake now. Can you watch her for me first? I will be back in an hour at the latest."
Liang Jing said without hesitation: "No problem, but you want to go find An Lan, right?"
"I'll go give her the money back."
"Go ahead, go ahead, she's in the company."
"Thanks!"
"Stop it, don't say thank you to me, I can't bear it."
I returned to the ward and said to my mother: "Mom, I have something to do and I have to go out now. I asked Liang Jing to stay with you here. I will be back in a while."
My mother said to me very gently: "Go on, you go and do your business first, I'm fine already."
Before leaving, I said thank you to Liang Jing again. Although she didn't let me say it, I still said it.
After leaving the hospital, I drove to An Lan's residence, which is of course where her company is located.
Because I haven't slept for two days and one night, I'm so sleepy now that I almost got rear-ended by another car when I changed lanes on the road.
After drinking a bottle of Red Bull, I felt a little relieved and finally arrived at An Lan's residence.
I didn't call her in advance. When I got to the place, I carried the box with the money and went in.
This teahouse originally had a hostess, but An Lan removed the hostess after using her as a company and residence.
I walked all the way to the innermost courtyard without any obstruction. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw An Lan in the corner of the courtyard, seeming to be doing something.
She didn't notice me, and I didn't call her immediately, but walked towards her quietly.
When we were almost behind her, I called out to her softly: "What...are you doing?"
After hearing my voice, An Lan turned her head subconsciously and looked at me in horror. She must have been very frightened by me.
But when I saw her face, I was stunned. There were one or two fish scales on her face and some blood spots.
A face that was originally very delicate, now seemed to be on the run.
Looking again, the basin behind her was full of crucian carp, some had been disemboweled, and some were still jumping around.
Only then did I realize that she was so aggressive when she came in, so she was actually getting these fish.
The fish scales and blood spots on her face were caused by handling these fish.
I burst out laughing immediately, because her face was so funny. I had never seen An Lan like this before.
She has always been a perfect existence in my heart, but at this moment, I discovered another state of her.
An Lan also realized it, and immediately frowned and complained to me: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"
"I...I just didn't have time."
She threw away the fish-killing knife in her hand with a "Oh!" and ran back to the room.
After a few minutes, she had packed herself up and walked out, and even changed into clean clothes.
I looked at her and said with a wry smile: "You don't have the baggage of being an idol, do you?"
"What do you want from me?" Her tone was still very cold.
I put the box forward and said to her: "There are still 300,000 yuan left in it. I will transfer the remaining 200,000 yuan to you using my mobile phone."
An Lan was stunned and asked: "Isn't it five hundred thousand? Why did you come back with three hundred thousand left?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid? And I want to get the two hundred thousand back."
An Lan came over, carried the box over, and then asked me: "Is your mother's condition... getting better?"
"I'm awake now, I should be fine, thank you!"
"Thank me for what?" An Lan shifted his gaze and said calmly.
"Thank you for the chicken soup you made for my mother."
As if the secret had been discovered by me, An Lan's expression suddenly became uncomfortable, and he muttered: What's wrong with this Liang Jing?
I was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so I hurriedly said: "Why are you killing the fish yourself?"
"Originally I wanted to take them to the vegetable market, but I was afraid that they would change the package for me. I asked someone to get these fish from the countryside."
"Oh, really? Then you're not afraid of being dumped, right? You can just watch them kill the fish, you don't have to make yourself so embarrassed."
It was as if I had seen through An Lan's little thoughts. Her face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't find anything to say for a while.
I turned and sat over there, picked up the fish-killing knife, and said, "Let me help you do it. Don't do it until you change your clothes."
She didn't stop me. She first pulled the money in and put it away, then walked out and stood behind me without saying a word.
I also deliberately didn't speak, just to see who couldn't help it in the end.
There was silence for two minutes. Finally, I couldn't hold it back and said, "What are you going to do with these fish?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"You're not using it to make soup again, are you?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"I mean, don't give it to my mother again, right?"
An Lan suddenly fell silent again, probably because I guessed it right.
After a long pause, she said again: "You think too much, I can eat it myself."
"Okay, I'm just being sentimental."
I know she just wants to save face and suffer the consequences. She obviously did it for my mother, but she just won't admit it.
I stopped embarrassing her and quickly cleaned up the remaining fish.
When she was about to leave, she finally asked me: "In your company, how long does it take before I can resign?"
"Didn't you say you would give me two months?"
An Lan nodded and said, "Yes, but there may be an event at the end of this month that needs you."
"What activity?"
"As for Liang Jing, I hope to help her return to the internet celebrity circle after this event, and help her become famous and establish her status in the internet celebrity circle."
After thinking for a moment, I replied: "I have heard Liang Jing talk about this, but what exactly is it?"
"I can't tell you yet, but I hope you can participate."
"What if I haven't resigned from Jiangshan Technology by then?"
"Then I don't care, even if you take a few days off, you still have to come."
"Isn't this mandatory for you?"
"It's mandatory."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! Who told me to owe you?"
Before leaving, she stopped me again and said to me: "By the way, don't be impulsive about your cousin's matter. Everything can be handled through legal means."
I looked back at her, stunned for a moment, and nodded: "I know how to deal with this, so don't worry."
"I'm not worried, I'm afraid you'll miss my important event."
This girl just refused to admit that she cared about me, so I had nothing more to say, so I nodded and left.
On the way back to the hospital, I called Huang Li because I had to trouble her to find Jiang Dong.
After the call was connected, I asked her: "Sister Li, are you busy now?"
"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall unless you have anything to do. If you have anything to do, just say it."
"I really have something to ask you to help me find someone."
"I'm not a policeman, where can I find someone for you?"
"Your circle is large, and the person I'm looking for is a bastard. You should be able to find some clues about him."
"Yo! Were you bullied by some bastard?"
I sighed and told what happened in the past two days.
After hearing this, Huang Li was so angry that she scolded her mother, saying that my cousin is too useless. If I find him this time, I will help me remove one of his arms and cut off his tongue so that he can have a long memory.
I believed that Huang Li could do this, so I hurriedly said to her: "Sister Li, I won't bother you to do this. You can help me find him, and I will go get him myself."
"Okay, I'll give you the news tomorrow at the latest."
After hanging up the phone, I felt relaxed.
The only thing I have to do now is to make this bitch Jiang Dong pay the price!
I want their family to understand the consequences of messing with me!
