half thorns, half joy

"What did you say?"

"Really, just now, downstairs." Cai Jinyu gasped heavily, and he swallowed with difficulty, "It's terrible, it scared me to death."

Xiao Zihan frowned, and looked at Tang Xuan.

At this time, the nurse also finished the injection. Seeing that Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu had something to say, the nurse quickly fixed the medicine bottle and pushed the cart out.

After closing the door, Cai Jinyu walked to the head of the bed, grabbed Xiao Zihan's water cup and took a few sips, then sat down beside Xiao Zihan's bed.

"We... haven't seen her before." Xiao Zihan asked Cai Jinyu suspiciously, "You saw her just now, did you say anything?"

Cai Jinyu replied, "I didn't say anything. She said she had something to do, and asked me. I said I came to see a friend, and there was nothing."

"You said you met a friend, did she not respond?"

"Uh...it doesn't seem to be." Cai Jinyu recalled Zhao Suizhi's expression at that time, "I feel that she is quite calm, and left after listening to me."

Xiao Zihan closed the magazine, frowning even tighter.

These days, my mother has inquired about his and Tang Xuan's wards many times overtly and secretly. He knew all about it and tried to stop them one by one.

Therefore, it is possible to be sure that Zhao Suizhi really wanted to know which ward he and Tang Xuan lived in.

But the mother who tried her best to find out, actually acted so calmly when she met Cai Jinyu and heard Cai Jinyu said that she wanted to see a friend. This is really... Strange.

Could it be that mother already knew where he lived?
"Zihan, maybe your mother really has other things to do." Tang Xuan tried to ease the atmosphere when she saw Xiao Zihan's serious expression.

Cai Jinyu nodded, "I think the same as Tang Xuan. Aunt Zhao doesn't seem very emotional, she's quite normal."

"Hmm... maybe." Xiao Zihan obviously didn't listen, he took the mobile phone on the bedside table and started making calls.

Tang Xuan sighed helplessly when she heard Xiao Zihan make a phone call to inquire about Zhao Suizhi's recent travel records and daily life.

"Zihan, actually, even if your mother finds you and me, it won't matter." Tang Xuan couldn't bear to see Xiao Zihan and Zhao Suizhi quarreling like this, and said tactfully, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but the more you Beware of her, the more she may be unable to swallow this breath."

Xiao Zihan hung up the phone and did not respond to Tang Xuan's words. He looked at Cai Jinyu seriously, and said to Cai Jinyu with a dark face, "The nanny said that Linlin went to our house this morning. go out."

"You mean, Linlin told your mother?"

"No, I don't think Linlin would do that." Xiao Zihan pursed his lips, "Call Linlin now and ask if anything happened this morning."

"Okay." Cai Jinyu quickly took out her mobile phone and called Cai Lin.

In view of what Zhao Suizhi did before, neither Xiao Zihan nor Cai Jinyu dared to take Zhao Suizhi's matter lightly.

When Cai Jinyu called, Cai Lin had just returned to Deng Langyue's ward. Deng Langyue coquettishly said that she wanted to eat a peeled apple. Cai Lin had no choice but to peel the apple for Deng Langyue.

When the apple was in her hand, the phone in Cai Lin's pocket rang.

Cai Lin took out her mobile phone, saw the word "brother" on the caller ID, got up and walked to the other side of the room, and answered the phone.

"elder brother?"

"Linlin, you went to see Aunt Zhao at Xiao's house this morning, right?" Cai Jinyu didn't say hello, and asked directly.

Cai Lin was slightly taken aback, "Ah... yes, what's wrong?"

"Did Aunt Zhao tell you anything? Also, did something happen?"

"..." When Cai Lin heard Cai Jinyu's questioning, her heart almost stopped suddenly. At that moment, she thought that her brother knew everything.

But after calming down for a few seconds, Cai Lin regained consciousness and calmed down a little. She bit her lip and said vaguely, "Brother, what's wrong, why are you asking me that?"

"I saw Aunt Zhao in the hospital just now. She looks weird. It's not weird. It's just...something is wrong anyway, so I want to ask you."

Cai Lin closed her eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my brother doesn't know about her being here with Deng Langyue.

"Brother, where are you now?" Cai Lin asked Cai Jinyu.

"I'm in Zihan's ward. Where are you? I can't say a few words on the phone, so you can come here too."

Cai Lin glanced at Deng Langyue who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at her curiously and doubtfully, nodded and agreed, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Cai Lin stepped forward and put the whole apple into Deng Langyue's hands, "Sorry, I have something to do, I have to leave first."

"I heard that, your sister-in-law brother is calling you, right?"

This was originally a joke, usually Cai Lin would roll her eyes after listening to it, or slap Deng Langyue a few words, but at the moment Cai Lin was in a complicated mood and her mind was confused. .

Watching the ward door close, and the ward became empty again, Deng Langyue cut and took a bite of the apple.

Cai Lin walked down the stairwell, but it was only one floor, and she walked for a full 5 minutes.

In 5 minutes, she thought a lot.

But until she walked into Xiao Zihan's ward, she didn't think clearly about how to get this matter back.

"Linlin, why are you so fast?" Cai Jinyu asked in surprise when she saw Cai Lin.

Cai Lin twitched her lips in embarrassment, "Actually, I've been in the hospital for a while, but I just didn't come in."

Cai Jinyu snorted, "Then where are you right now?"

"So, my mother followed you to the hospital?" Xiao Zihan was not curious about Cai Lin's behavior, his focus was on Zhao Suizhi, and he asked straightforwardly.

For Cai Lin, Xiao Zihan's question was much easier to answer than Cai Jinyu's.

Cai Lin twisted her fingers and nodded.

"What? Aunt Zhao is following you?" Because the news was so explosive, Cai Jinyu immediately forgot her question just now.

"You found out that she was following you, so you didn't come in on purpose?" Xiao Zihan asked while guessing.

Cai Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded again.

It was difficult for her to tell these lies, but Xiao Zihan had already told them for her, and it was relatively easy for her to do things like nodding.

Cai Jinyu listened to Xiao Zihan's speculation, and tried to guess it herself, "So, when you came out of Xiao Zhai and walked to the hospital, Aunt Zhao followed you, and you hid on purpose after you found out, so Aunt Zhao didn't find any clues, just Did you go back by yourself?"

Cai Lin continued to nod in charge.

"But it's not right. If this is the case, Aunt Zhao should be more suspicious when she sees me. Why does she seem to be very relieved of me?" Cai Jinyu keenly noticed something was wrong.

"I'm sorry, I messed up." Cai Lin was afraid that Cai Jinyu would not be able to answer and show flaws if she delved deeper, so she changed the subject. "I went to Aunt Zhao today to persuade her, but it made her angry, and this kind of thing happened."

"What's the matter? When you went to find her, there was a conflict?"

"Hmm." This paragraph is true and there is no need for Cai Lin to make it up, so Cai Lin answered smoothly, roughly describing Zhao Suizhi's excited reaction after hearing Tang Xuan's name.

As she spoke, she looked at Cai Lin in embarrassment, and then apologized to Cai Lin guiltily, "I'm sorry, Sister Tang Xuan, you must feel uncomfortable when I say this."

Hearing Zhao Suizhi's attitude of avoiding her like a snake, Tang Xuan really felt uncomfortable, but hearing Cai Lin's question, she still shook her head firmly, "I'm fine, this is expected."

Because of Cai Lin's words, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan, and said earnestly, "What you said earlier is also true, but I still think it's better not to let my mother find you. I can't predict her current behavior."

"Brother Zihan, in fact, Aunt Zhao..." Cai Lin originally planned to speak for Zhao Suizhi, but when she thought that Zhao Suizhi was actually following her, she couldn't say anything.

When the matter developed to this point, she also felt a little scary.

She had a vague feeling that this matter was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
