At night, Xinyuan’s garden, which had been quiet all day, was still dull, with almost no human sounds.
Cheng Huanran knocked on the study door and whispered: "Mom, I'm back from seeing Aunt Cong off.
She said she would come over to stay with you early tomorrow morning and let you rest early."
"Um."
Xue Ling held her head tiredly and asked: "Your dad...hasn't you replied yet?"
Cheng Huanran shook his head: "No."
After hearing this, Xue Ling couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his tone full of worry.
"I don't know what's going on now..." Cheng Huanran advised: "Mom, Brother Duoduo sent a message saying that they are safe, which proves that they are safe and sound.
The signal at sea is extremely poor and can’t be connected at all times.”
Xue Ling rubbed her temples and asked, "Has your grandma gone to bed?"
"Sleep."
Cheng Huanran told the truth: "I took a little medicine to calm my mind, otherwise the old man would definitely not be able to sleep.
She is too mentally ill and her blood pressure is unstable, so we cannot force her to hold on."
Xue Ling sighed and nodded, and asked: "Where are your grandparents?
Their blood pressure is also abnormal?”
"Absolutely normal."
Cheng Huanran replied: "But their spirits are very low. They sleep and wake up and always ask if Xiaoxin is back. They are highly nervous and look very bad."
"You continue to take leave and stay at home."
Xue Ling ordered: "There are many elderly people at home, so we must not let anything happen to them.
I also asked the family doctor to stay and help, and you must also stay at home."
"Um."
Cheng Huanran nodded: "Uncle Ah Huan granted me three days' leave.
By the way, uncle called again just now to ask."
Xue Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "He didn't tell anyone, did he?
Your uncle Zhilan is not in good health recently, but you can't let him worry.
Also, don’t tell your aunt and A Heng to them."
"good."
Cheng Huanran agreed, but whispered nervously: "Mom, will my uncle, uncle, and aunt blame you in the future?
Such a big thing cannot be hidden sooner or later."
Xue Ling shook his head calmly: "I can't help, it's just more worry and fear.
For people of our age, our bodies are already declining and we have begun to be unable to withstand severe blows.
Somehow, they can still eat well, sleep well, recuperate from illness, take care of patients, and work as usual.
If they were to find out, they would be just like us, helpless, worried, and frightened to the point of mental weakness, unable to do anything.
Everyone has their own work and life, don’t change the track easily, otherwise it will only add to chaos.”
Xiaoxin and Sister Achun were kidnapped to a small island in the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away, with an unknown destination and a long journey.
Even if everyone knew about it, it would only add worry and worry to each one, and it would not help at all. It would only increase confusion and pain. It would be better to let them know later, because she firmly believed that there would be good news soon.
"Tomorrow morning at the latest..." Xue Ling squinted at the Pacific Ocean on the map and murmured: "I guess there will be definite news tomorrow morning at the latest.
It won’t be too late for us to tell everyone when the good news comes.
We can’t say it now, let them have a good sleep tonight.”
At this time, Xue Yang came, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Mom! Mr. Qi's assistant called... and said that Third Sister Qi wants to see you and hopes to come to the garden to have an interview with you."
Cheng Huanran raised his eyebrows and snorted: "What are we talking about now?
Shouldn't she go find her son and ask him to let him go as soon as possible and get him back?
!When Xiaoxin was injured, our family had already given them face, and it was impossible to give it to them again! Mr. Qi was different. He was Xiaoxin’s master, so we discussed it with him in advance. That was because we respected him very much.
What do you want to interview?
If you don’t come back unscathed, there’s no need to talk about anything!”
Xue Yang rolled his eyes, approving his brother's words in his heart.
"But after all, it is our mother who they want to see, and I have to make the decision on my own."
Xue Ling whispered tiredly: "No, there's nothing to talk about.
Please tell my assistant, I just want my daughter and Sister Achun to come back safe and sound, and nothing else."
"Why!"
Xue Yang ran out.
Cheng Huanran stepped forward and held his mother's arm.
"Mom, you're not in good spirits, you'd better go to bed and lie down."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Your Aunt Cong chatted with me during the day. Maybe it was because my attention was diverted. I felt much more relaxed and my head didn't feel heavy.
Now I feel dizzy and feel uncomfortable again."
Cheng Huanran massaged her shoulders and explained: "You didn't eat much all day yesterday, and you can't eat much today.
Humans are like steel and rice. If we don’t eat, how will we get the energy to stay healthy?
It happened to be very hot yesterday, and you got a bit of heatstroke from running in and out.
How can you not feel uncomfortable if you have a heart attack and heatstroke?"
"Alas..." Xue Ling sighed quietly.
After a while, Xue Yang came back.
"Mom, I did what you said.
The assistant apologized and said I was sorry, but I didn't say anything and just hung up."
Cheng Huanran helped Xue Ling stand up and said in a deep voice: "Very good, this is what you have to do!"
Xue Yang held the phone and muttered: "It's still quiet."
"Go and look after grandpa and grandma."
Xue Ling sighed: "I'm fine, I'll just lie down for a while."
Cheng Huanran said: "I'll go.
Second child, you stay with mom."
"Um."
Xue Yang helped his mother back to the room.
Xue Ling frowned slightly and asked: "By the way, why didn't you seem to see the third child all afternoon?
Where has he been?"
These are troubled times, and we must not let anything happen again at home.
At this time, as long as she thought of the words "missing" and "cannot be found", she could not help but feel panicked and palpitated.
Xue Yang replied: "He has been in the room all the time, I don't know what he is doing.
When you drove Xiao Huzi to accompany Shan You, he ran out to get some water and almost poured water on Xiao Huzi."
"Oh oh oh! I remembered... I'll just be at home."
Xue Ling reminded: "Tell the security guard at the front and back gates that no one except you will be allowed to enter or exit the garden at will during these two days."
"good."
Xue Yang responded.
Xue Ling was covered with a thin quilt, her face was pale, she was dizzy, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time.
She got up, drank a few sips of cold water, and felt a little better.
Xue Yang, who was watching the screen of his mobile phone, rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Mom, tell me - did Brother Tietou ask for help from the mysterious pirate organization?
I secretly sent a message to Brother Duoduo, but he didn’t reply and I don’t know if he received it or not.”
"Do not ask."
Xue Ling scolded and whispered: "Don't make random guesses about things you don't understand.
Son, there are so many things in this world that we don’t know. Firstly, it is impossible to know, and secondly, we cannot know.”
"oh oh."
Xue Yang had no choice but to answer obediently, poked his mother's cell phone, and reminded: "Aunt Wang Qing said she would come over tomorrow morning. This is the message she just sent."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Please help me go back and tell her not to come over. It's important to take care of Shan You during her confinement period.
As long as there is good news, we will notify them immediately."
"oh."
Xue Yang clicked on the screen and muttered: "Aunt Wang Qing cries too easily. She will definitely cry non-stop when she comes..."
