Qiao Nian arrived at the nursing home half an hour later.
Jian Jin drove the girl to the outside of the nursing home, stopped the car, watched the girl unbuckle her seat belt neatly, and whispered, "Qiao, do you want me to go in with you?"
She always felt that there were a lot of troublesome things in Qiao's biological parents' home!
Jian Jin was not very reassured and said, "I have nothing to do at night anyway, how about that?"
Qiao Nian had already unbuckled the seat belt, opened the door, picked up the shoulder bag beside him, got out of the car first, put one hand on the door, and said to her from outside, "No, you go back first, I'll just go take a look."
"You really don't want me to go in with you?" Jian Jin was still a little worried.
Qiao Nian had already closed the car door for her, and threw her shoulder bag over her left shoulder. She raised her hand and casually pulled down the brim of her hat. Her eyes were dark and deep like a cold pond, and she could not see much emotion. She looked at the rolled down car window, restrained her banditry, and said, "You go back first, I'll call you if there's anything!"
Jian Jin saw that Qiao Nian didn't want her to get involved in the Jiang family's affairs, so she didn't insist and nodded. Her fair face looked ordinary, but her eyes were sharp and cold. "Okay, I'll go back first. Remember to call me if you have anything. I live not far from here, and it takes ten minutes to drive there."
The sanatoriums chosen by Mr. Jiang all have relatively good environments. This area belongs to the wealthy area of Beijing, and there are many villa areas scattered around the sanatorium.
Qiao Nian thought she lived in a hotel, but suddenly she found out that she lived in a nearby villa area. There was a hint of surprise in her black eyes.
But in a blink of an eye, she figured it out.
With Jian Jin's personality, she would definitely choose to stay in a hotel, which is convenient, fast and without so much trouble.
But Jian Jin did not come to Beijing alone this time. She was accompanied by Lu Zhi, who was not someone who could just stay in a hotel.
Qiao Nian also knew that Lu Zhi had a serious mysophobia. His residence in the illegal area was always cleaned meticulously. There was no garbage on the floor or on the sofa. Lu Zhi would even wipe the cover of the book clean. He would even put disposable cushions on the chairs in the study.
Qiao Nian figured out who lived in the villa nearby. The surprise in her eyes gradually faded. She put one hand in her pocket, and said arrogantly, "Okay, you go first. I'll go in after you leave."
As she spoke, she moved away from the car. Jian Jin couldn't resist her and rolled up the window. The red sports car ran over the leaves of the sycamore trees on the road and disappeared outside the sanatorium...
Qiao Nian watched the car drive away before she raised her hand and pushed her hat down again to hide the coldness in her eyes, then turned and walked into the sanatorium.
*
The sanatorium where Mr. Jiang lives has a garden-style landscape, with neatly trimmed lawns and a large ginkgo tree planted on the uphill side of the lawn.
The breeze blew through the treetops, and the leaves swayed in the wind.
The surface of the lake not far away also began to ripple.
The overall environment of the sanatorium is quiet and very suitable for elderly people to live here and recuperate.
This was not the first time Qiao Nian came to the sanatorium. Ever since she was admitted to Tsinghua University, she would come to the sanatorium from time to time to accompany Grandpa Jiang.
She was very familiar with the environment in the sanatorium. She walked easily along the gravel path on the lawn and headed towards the ward where Mr. Jiang lived.
