Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

Yuan Wenjie had a telephone installed in his home.

One morning, not long after the telephone was installed, Su Jinru received a call from a girl.

The other person said her name was Ye Qingyun, that she was An Ran's colleague, and that she had something urgent to discuss with An Ran.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get him."

Su Jinru hung up the phone and went to the east room to find her son.

“Anran, there’s a girl named Ye Qingyun. She says she’s a colleague and needs to talk to you urgently.”

An Ran put down the book with a puzzled look.

"What's the rush? You don't want me to end my vacation early and go back to work, do you?"

Su Jinru's heart sank.

My son has been away from home for ten years. He finally got a two-month vacation, but only a month has passed. Does he have to go back to work early?

Once he leaves, who knows when he'll be able to return?

Thinking about it, Su Jinru unconsciously followed her son to the living room.

Anran picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Qi Anran!"

"An Ran, I am Ye Qingyun..."

"Ye Qingyun, is there something you need?"

“My...my father is sick. The doctor said he doesn’t have more than two months to live.”

"Ah! How could this happen!"

"Anran, I...I want to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help do you need? Tell me."

“My dad wants to see me get married before he closes his eyes.”

"Anran, can you do me this favor?"

“This…” An Ran looked up at Su Jinru.

"This is a major life event, I need to discuss it with my family."

"Anran, when I called the contact number you left at work, I heard that your family no longer lives on Qiongzhou Island and has moved to Beijing, is that right?"

"Yes, we are in the capital now."

“My family is also in Beijing, Anran. We’re in the same city. Can we meet and talk?”

"can!"

"How about we meet at the state-run restaurant on Renmin Road?"

Put down the phone.

An Ran looked at Su Jinru.

"Mom, you heard what I just said. What should I do now?"

"Son, tell me the truth, do you like this girl named Ye Qingyun?"

"I knew nothing about her family background. I only found out today that her family is from Beijing. As for her, I just think she is serious and meticulous in her work. I don't have any other impressions. Oh! I heard that she is a genius. She was very good at studying in school, but because there was no college entrance examination, she directly studied university courses on her own. Her parents are university teachers. They were also recommended to our research institute by experts who said that she is very good at mathematics and physics."

"Describe what she looks like."

"She was about 1.7 meters tall! She had very fair skin, big, bright eyes, and spoke crisply and clearly. That's about it. I don't remember much else."

"Anran, I feel like she likes you."

"why?"

"According to you, she's a very smart and rational girl, and she's also very straightforward in her actions and words. This kind of girl wouldn't be love-struck, nor would she compromise herself. As a girl, she took the initiative to ask to marry a male colleague. It's impossible for her not to like you at all. Even if it was an emergency, with so many relatives, friends, and classmates around, why you of all people?"

"Although we are colleagues, we have only known each other for three months. Our supervisor introduced us to each other just a few days before the holiday."

"Her meaning is very clear. Now it's your turn, son. You have to make your own decisions. Most importantly, ask yourself: Do you have feelings for her? Are you willing to spend your life with her? Compared to that nurse, who do you really like more?"

"These questions can help you solve your current problems. If you don't accept her, but she asks you for help in her father's name, you can negotiate with her to put on an act in front of her father. Just don't do anything against your conscience."

"If your heart is willing to accept her, that's a good thing!"

Anran nodded.

"Then I'll go meet with her and see what's going on."

Anran put on a light gray cashmere coat, pushed her bicycle, and went out the door.

Anran thought that since she was riding a bicycle, she should be one of the first to arrive.

But when he entered the state-run restaurant, he saw Ye Qingyun, who was already sitting there, waving to him.

Back in my previous workplace, everyone was either wearing a military uniform or a white lab coat.

This was the first time An Ran had seen Ye Qingyun dressed casually.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a navy blue cashmere sweater over a red plaid shirt, and a red plaid skirt.

Previously at work, Ye Qingyun gave An Ran the impression of being a very tough person.

Now, she's completely a gentle young girl.

An Ran gave the other party a refreshing feeling.

A well-made coat, paired with his unique temperament, made him appear refined and dignified.

An Ran sat down opposite Ye Qingyun.

"You arrived so quickly, where are you staying?"

"I live nearby, where do you live?"

I live on Jianshe Road.

What illness does your father have?

“My parents are both university teachers. During a movement, a student beat them up and injured their kidneys. This left them with a chronic condition. They couldn’t straighten their backs for years and couldn’t afford treatment. Later, my parents and I went to the Northwest to work. We didn’t return until three months ago, but my father’s health has been deteriorating. The doctor said he doesn’t have much time left.”

Ye Qingyun's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

“My parents only have me as their child. My dad says I am his pride, but because of their problems, I have been delayed in the countryside for so many years. My dad says he can only die in peace when he sees me get married.”

"Then why me?"

“Because, you are the only one I know! Since the accident happened to our family, all our relatives, friends and classmates have lost contact with us.”

“I learned about your experience from the leaders. When you were young, you were just like me, excelling in your studies and having a strong ability to learn on your own. You graduated from high school at the age of fourteen, as did I. It’s just that I wasn’t as lucky as you. You joined the army, served as a soldier, went to military academy, and then entered a research institute. Your life was smooth sailing, while I was called a genius by my teachers since I was a child, but… I went to work in the Northwest for so many years.”

"Now that my parents' problems are resolved, I feel that you and I are quite compatible, so... Of course, I don't know how you feel about me, and if you don't want to, I won't force you."

An Ran did not respond to Ye Qingyun's words.

Where was your father's illness diagnosed?

"It's Peking University Hospital! It's the most authoritative hospital in the country, and the diagnosis comes from the most authoritative doctors."

“Let’s try traditional Chinese medicine! My dad knows a really good TCM doctor who has cured many people who were on the verge of death.”

"really?"
