Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, she raised her eyes and glanced at the other end of the bed, then slowly retracted her gaze and stood up, half-closed her eyes, feeling very sleepy and a little irritated: "… Not yet, soon, let me check the time."
She raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall. The hands pointed to eleven o'clock. She pursed her lips, hummed, and said lazily: "Let's eat first, I'll come to find you later. Which hotel are you in? Send me the address."
Ye Wangchuan and Gu San both noticed that she was on the phone.
Gu San saw Ye Wangchuan put it on the spoon and asked Qiao Nian very considerately: "Miss Qiao, aren't you going to have lunch with us?"
"Hang up." Qiao Nian had just hung up the phone when she heard his question. She looked at the man lying on the bed with a slightly sick look and wanted to ask him how they could eat together. But when the words came to her lips, she changed them to: "Not at noon today. An elder of mine came from Beijing to invite me to dinner, and I promised him."
When Gu San heard the word "elders", he felt relieved and did his best.
As long as they are not of the same age.
Ye Wangchuan looked at the girl who was packing up and preparing to leave. He raised his eyes and asked casually, "Do you want Gu San to take you there?"
Qiao Nian received a text message from Nie Mi. She looked at the map and saw that the Universal Hotel was not far from the Municipal Hospital, right around the city center.
She raised her head and said "Ah" a little too slowly. She put away her phone, looked at Gu San, and shook her head: "No need. The place to eat is very close to here. It will be more convenient for me to take a taxi."
"Then...be careful on the road."
Gu San could hear the reluctance in his words.
Qiao Nian nodded and said casually, "I'll message you when I get there."
This is a bit like telling him whereabouts.
Ye Wangchuan's thin lips lifted instantly, he was in a good mood, his hands resting on the laptop, he drank most of the bowl of pig liver soup beside him, not sure if it was a psychological effect or if the pig liver soup really had the effect of replenishing qi and blood, he was in much better spirits than when he woke up in the morning, he raised his eyes, and had a carefree and romantic feeling again: "By the way, how is your friend's grandfather?"
Qiao Nian walked to the door, his hand on the doorknob, but stopped when he heard his question, turned around, thought for a moment, and said, "He's awake. But the situation... isn't very good. I've felt his pulse, and his organs are failing badly. This time it's a cardiovascular problem, next time it could be the kidneys, liver, or even the heart. The five internal organs of a person are like machines, and if they age, they age. All methods can only extend their lifespan, but cannot change the result of machine necrosis. If we take good care of them, it'll only last a few years. If we don't take good care of them, it'll only be two to three years. It depends on the situation."
Ye Wangchuan said calmly, "It's normal for people to get old."
"I think so too." Qiao Nian also thought it was normal. It was impossible for people to be immortal forever. It was unrealistic.
At this time, Nie Mi sent another message, asking her if she had left. Qiao Nian replied, raised her hand, and said to the people in the ward: "The elders urged me, I have to leave first."
"good."
Crack.
The door of the ward was closed.
As soon as Qiao Nian left, Gu San couldn't help but ask the man on the bed out of curiosity: "Mr. Wang, who is the grandfather of Miss Qiao's friend?"
He wondered in his heart whether they were the same as Aunt Chen's family, the people that Miss Qiao had known before.
Ye Wangchuan didn't answer who he was directly. He put away the pork liver soup, focused on his work again, and said calmly, "She went to the Wei family."
