Chapter 610 Going on a Blind Date
Chapter 610 Going on a Blind Date
Pregnant women are naturally sensitive to heat, and the heat made her reluctant to go out; she preferred to stay in an air-conditioned room.
Air conditioners consume an astonishing amount of electricity these days, and electricity bills are expensive. With the arrival of summer, their electricity bills alone are alarming.
Another day passed and his older brother returned, so Lin Ping went straight to see him.
Hearing that he was going to go racing cars with him, his older brother Lin Gang specifically mentioned that racing cars in the summer is a real ordeal.
Lin Ping casually replied, "Is it any worse than our physical training? Don't worry, brother, if you can handle it, I can handle it too."
"Alright then, I'll rest tomorrow and set off the day after. You can come with me."
Lin Yuyao was six months pregnant, and Ye Xiaotong accompanied her to her scheduled prenatal checkup.
Upon seeing the results of the examination, Ye Xiaotong exclaimed in surprise, "They're twins!"
"Yes."
"I didn't hear you mention it." She looked down and said, "No wonder your belly is so big."
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and remained silent. She just felt there was no need to deliberately mention that she was carrying twins; they would know once the babies were born anyway.
When the two came out of the hospital, they ran into Pan Xiaohua and her niece at the entrance.
Since we were all acquaintances, we exchanged greetings.
How did you get to the hospital?
Pan Xiaohua said, "Lanlan fell while helping me move some things today and hurt her arm. She had injured her arm before, and I was worried that she might cause more problems if she fell again, so I brought her to the hospital to get it checked out."
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, the doctor said it's already healed and not that fragile."
"It's lunchtime, let's grab a bite together, do you guys still have time?"
Pan Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together."
There were restaurants outside the hospital, and we chatted casually while eating.
They have already moved away because of the demolition of that area.
The three of them and Wang Jianguo were probably the last two households to be relocated.
Pan Xiaohua used her savings to buy an old, small house, a one-bedroom apartment.
"There's no way around it. Most of my money is tied up in payments for goods, and I can't earn enough to buy a big house in such a short time. I'd like to rent a place again, but it's inconvenient. Moving isn't just about moving our belongings, it's also about moving goods, and all that moving around is exhausting."
"So how will you three, aunt and niece, live?"
"The bedroom is quite big, with three bunk beds and a large table in the middle. The three of us each sleep on one bed, and we put our personal belongings on the top bunk. It's quite nice."
"That's good."
Pan Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, life is so much better now than before. We're free and there's hope for the future, it's just..."
Lin Yuyao looked up at her.
Pan Xiaohua sighed and said, "My second brother has actually changed a lot. Last time I cornered him, I originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but looking at his face... sigh!"
Lin Yuyao remained noncommittal, only smiling faintly, "Adults should just live their own lives. Your second brother is thirty years old and a man, so there's nothing for you to worry about."
Pan Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, and besides, his bad life is all his own doing."
After saying that, she served Pan Lanlan two spoonfuls of bone broth.
"Have some bone broth. Although your bones are fine, your arm is all swollen from the fall."
Pan Lanlan nodded, lowered her head and drank her soup without saying a word.
It may be related to her past experiences; being crippled by her own father must have caused immense trauma to her young mind. To this day, she remains timid and dares not speak in front of strangers.
The good thing is that she can tell her two aunts what she needs.
A moment later, Pan Xiaohua said, "Actually, my second brother is doing quite well now. After all, he's a college graduate, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a high-paying job in Guangcheng. He's just torturing himself now, scrimping and saving, and sending all his money to Miss Fu as child support."
When he came back last time, he found out that Miss Fu had given me all the money he sent back, and he was devastated. I tried to comfort him, saying that if Miss Fu cared so much, she wouldn't have chosen him in the first place. I told him to stop sending money, but he wouldn't listen. He's still sending money, and it's all in my hands; Miss Fu had someone bring it to me.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "He said he didn't know what to do to get Miss Fu's forgiveness."
Lin Yuyao suddenly smiled, without saying anything.
Ye Xiaotong, standing nearby, spoke up calmly, "Not all mistakes can be forgiven."
Pan Xiaohua looked surprised, then nodded.
"Yes, what's so good about him? He's easily swayed and utterly useless. Miss Fu only married him because she loved him. He's worn that love away, so what does he have that deserves forgiveness? Even if I were his sister, I'd say he's completely unworthy of Miss Fu."
Pan Xiaohua is a very clear-headed girl who always knows what she wants and is also very brave.
After the meal, Lin Yuyao offered to drive them home, since she had a car.
They didn't go home; they went back to the shop.
It's summer vacation now, and Pan Lanlan is also helping out at the store. The three of them working together makes the store much easier.
Lin Yuyao dropped them off at home before heading back herself.
She didn't want to go back to work; she wanted to go home and enjoy the air conditioning, since there was no air conditioning at the company.
Before going back, she told Ye Xiaotong to call her if anything happened, as the home phone was now installed in the bedroom.
Despite her low position, Ye Xiaotong holds a significant position within the company.
Because her employee number is 004.
As soon as she arrived at the building, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Yu Yao."
Lin Yuyao turned her head and saw Lu Jiangting standing under a tree, holding onto his bicycle.
What?
Isn't he at work today? What's he doing here at this hour?
Lu Jiangting forced a smile, barely managing an awkward one.
"Yuyao, my dad went to the hospital again today. He just got back. I came to find you after I took him home."
Lin Yuyao: "I don't remember we had anything to say to each other, right?"
“Yes, I just wanted to come see you and tell you…” He paused, looking at her stomach, and said, “I’m also planning to let go.”
Lin Yuyao: “…”
“I’ve already let it go. Whether you let it go or not is none of my business.”
Lu Jiangting said to himself, "After divorcing Fang Qing, the entanglement between the three of us is finally over."
Lin Yuyao was speechless for a moment, then said somewhat angrily, "My entanglement with the two of you ended a long time ago, but you and Fang Qing..."
She laughed with a smug look on her face, "I'm afraid it won't end so easily?"
Lu Jiangting paused for a moment, but wasn't angry. Still immersed in his own world, he continued, "You have your own life now, and I also plan to start a new one. My mother is currently helping me find a marriage partner. If all goes well, I will soon marry a normal wife and settle down."
He was initially resistant; he was still thinking about Yuyao.
However, during this time, his parents kept trying to persuade him, saying many bad things about Yuyao and advising him to stop thinking about Yuyao and marry another girl to live a good life.
He had initially refused.
But this time, his father fell seriously ill again, and the doctor said that he should just live one day at a time.
His father didn't say it, but he could tell from his eyes that his father hoped to see him get married before he closed his eyes.
One cannot live only for oneself; he owed his parents too much.
It's already a sin that I couldn't give him a grandson; I must at least see him get married again.
So he compromised and agreed to his parents' request to go on a blind date.
