The sadness in the old lady's eyes was real, but when she heard Ran Qin say that she didn't catch him, she was obviously relieved. This was what Xia Wan'er found strange.
After all, Ran Qin is just a girl who just graduated from college. Why would she worry that her son would be caught up by Ran Qin
Is she worried that Ran Qin can't beat her son
It doesn't look very similar.
"Dean, do you have a photo of your son?" Ran Qin wiped her tears and asked.
As expected, as soon as Ran Qin said this, the dean stood up anxiously, grabbed Ran Qin's shoulders, stared at Ran Qin and asked: "No, no, what do you want the photo for? Did you see him?"
"No," Ran Qin was caught off guard by the question, and then realized, "I didn't see it. I wanted to ask a friend to help find it and stop him from selling the orphanage."
"Oh, I don't have a photo of him." The dean breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and was about to sit back down when he saw Xia Wan'er and Qiao Mingye, whose faces were not clearly visible because of their hats, and asked, "Who are these two?"
"They are my friends. They just came to me and can help me find—"
Before Ran Qin finished speaking, the dean hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt: "No need, this is our own business, we can solve it ourselves."
Hearing this, Ran Qin bit her lip and looked at Xia Wan'er and Qiao Mingye in embarrassment.
The dean bent over, groped for the edge of the bed and sat down. He looked up and saw Xia Wan'er and Qiao Mingye still standing there. He looked quite unhappy and called Ran Qin and said, "Xiao Ran, thank your friends for their kindness. Please send them back. It's so late, the hospital only allows one person to stay with the patient."
"Dean, they are not bad people, they are my--" Ran Qin was about to explain to the dean when she was stopped by Xia Wan'er.
"Qinqin, your dean is right. It's getting late, and we don't want to disturb you." Xia Wan'er interrupted Ran Qin and said to her, "You haven't eaten much all day today. Come with us to have a meal, and we'll send you back later."
Ran Qin was a little dazed. She understood Xia Wan'er's hint, which was for her to stop talking.
She took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Seeing that they no longer insisted, the dean nodded with satisfaction, lay down on the bed, turned over, and curled up his feet facing them.
"Then I'll come back after dinner." Ran Qin said as he covered her with the quilt.
The dean didn't turn around, but just raised his hand and waved at her.
Although Xia Wan'er was standing at the door, she could hear the dean sighing. She didn't know if it was because of the pain from the illness or for some other reason, but it felt very heavy.
When the few people came out of the hospital, it was already half past two.
Nanfeng stood beside the car with a lollipop in his mouth and a serious expression.
At first glance, I thought he was holding a cigarette.
Seeing Qiao Mingye coming back, he hurried forward, opened and closed his mouth, but still didn't say anything. In the end, he just shook his head at Qiao Mingye.
"It's cold outside, you guys go back to the car first." Qiao Mingye said, and walked towards the shade on the side.
Xia Wan'er knew that they had something to say without telling Ran Qin, so she nodded and took Ran Qin back to the car first.
"Wan'er, the dean is not usually like this." Ran Qin explained self-reproachfully. She didn't know why the dean treated them so coldly.
Xia Wan'er nodded and comforted her, "It's okay. After all, it's not a glorious thing for your son to be a thief. It's normal to refuse help from strangers."
Seeing that Xia Wan'er did not blame him, Ran Qin buried his head even lower.
"Paper."
A hand held a piece of paper and handed it over.
Xia Wan'er looked up and saw Nan Yu looking at them with a helpless expression.
"Good boy, Ayu." Xia Wan'er took the paper from Nanyu's hand and gave it to Ran Qin, then gently touched Nanyu's head.
Ran Qin held the paper, her eyes reddened and she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Ayu."
"Nanyu." Nanyu retorted weakly.
Ran Qin couldn't help laughing, and her snot bubbles came out. She said pitifully, "It's been so long, and we're still not familiar with each other."
Nan Yu explained seriously: "Brother Feng said that only the boss and Sister Xia are allowed, and no one else is allowed."
Hearing this, Xia Wan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Nanyu has this magical power that can make everyone forget their worries.
The car door opened, and Qiao Mingye sat in the passenger seat. Seeing that they all had smiles on their faces, his expression was also very gentle. He stroked Nan Yu's gentle hair and said, "Let's go. Let's go back to the hotel for dinner first."
