Chapter 39
Hesitating for a moment, Chen Dong temporarily suppressed the thought of telling Gu Qingying immediately.
He glanced at Gu Qingying, who was concentrating on driving, and said with a smile.
“Xiaoying, I want to give you a surprise in a while.”
Gu Qingying was his friend, and there were many things that should be told as they were.
He didn’t want to let Gu Qingying hold a trace of sympathy in her heart when she faced him because of this month’s experience.
“Surprise?”
Gu Qingying raised an eyebrow, but did not pursue the question, but smiled and nodded: “Yes.”
The car drove into the car park of Lijin Hospital.
After getting out of the car, Gu Qingying called for Chen Dong to help her carry her things.
After opening the luggage, Chen Dong was frozen.
A large pile of fruits and supplements stuffed the entire suitcase to the brim.
“The first time I came to see auntie, I can’t be rude, I bought some random things, and I don’t know if auntie will like them.” Gu Qingying said with a smile.
Chen Dong’s heart gave a vicious twitch.
Gu Qingying’s joking remark was like a needle that stabbed him in the heart.
He knew his mother’s, even if Gu Qingying came empty-handed, his mother would definitely be happy.
In contrast to Gu Qingying’s solemnity, there were people who had never visited for three years, and who even said “deadbeat mother” under their breath.
One was a friend, the other was an ex-wife, the difference between the two was worlds apart.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Qing Ying asked.
“Nothing, you’ve bought too much!” Chen Dong squeezed out a smile, carried most of his things and walked towards the hospital.
And Gu Qingying, carrying two bags of fruit, followed behind, saying urgently, “Chen Dong, wait for me, I, I’m a bit nervous, you come in with me.”
In the ward.
Li Lan was chatting happily with Fan Lu.
Since she had Fan Lu with her, Li Lan’s condition seemed to have recovered much faster, and her face was much rosier.
Li Lan loves Fan Lu from the bottom of her heart and treats her as if she were her own daughter.
Fan Lu also felt this, so she took even more care of Li Lan.
Chen Dong pushed open the door, just in time to see the two chatting happily.
“Mr. Chen.”
Fan Lu hurriedly got up and rushed over to help Chen Dong carry his things.
“Dong’er, why did you buy so many things?” Li Lan wondered.
All these years, she had lived a hard life, and even after Chen Dong had money, she had not enjoyed anything because of her illness.
She was a little distressed at Chen Dong buying so many things.
How much money did this have to cost the child?
“My friend bought it.”
Chen Dong smiled and called back to Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying timidly walked into the ward and gave Chen Dong a sidelong glance of anger.
I told you to wait and wait, but you had to come in first yourself, and now you are making people so nervous.
However, she quickly revealed a smile, “Hello aunty, I am Chen Dong’s friend, Gu Qingying.”
“Hello, how are you.”
Li Lan smiled amiably, but when she turned her eyes to look at Chen Dong, she changed her face, “Chen Dong, why don’t you help Miss Gu carry her things?”
This scene amused Gu Qingying with a puff of laughter, and her nervous mood relaxed a lot.
She directly shoved the fruit into Chen Dong’s hand, then walked to Li Lan with a smile on her face, “It’s still Auntie who knows how to hurt people.”
Li Lan was full of smiles, looking at Gu Qing Ying, she always felt somehow familiar: “Miss Gu, haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”
Chen Dong put down the fruit and was about to explain.
But Gu Qingying suddenly said, “No, this is also the first time I’ve seen Auntie.”
Chen Dong glanced at Gu Qingying in dismay.
In her four years at university, Gu Qingying had seen her mother a lot, and she had been a bridesmaid at her wedding three years ago.
Her mother was too old to remember Gu Qingying for a while because she hadn’t seen her for three years.
How could Gu Qingying still not admit it?
Li Lan smiled and nodded, not pursuing the matter any further.
She said to Fan Lu, “Xiao Lu, please pour a glass of water for Miss Gu.”
“Okay Auntie.” Fan Lu busied herself, not only pouring water for Gu Qingying, but also taking out some fruits and taking them outside to be washed and prepared for hospitality.
The way she was busy was very satisfying to see Chen Dong.
Moreover, he could also see that his mother was also very satisfied with Fan Lu.
It was Gu Qingying, on the contrary, who looked at Fan Lu and could not help but frown.
However, in an instant, Gu Qingying was smiling happily, taking Li Lan’s hand and chatting with concern.
Chen Dong sat at the side, smiling at Gu Qingying and Li Lan, who were chatting happily, and did not disturb them.
Soon after, Fan Lu also came back with fruits.
The three women were chatting happily.
Gu Qingying was not the least bit pretentious and easy-going, and even took the apple from Fan Lu’s hand and personally helped Li Lan peel it, and cut it into small pieces to make it easier for Li Lan to eat.
Soon, an hour passed.
Because it was too late, Chen Dong first proposed that he had to leave the hospital.
Gu Qingying nodded and said to Li Lan with a smile, “Auntie you take good care of yourself, I will visit you often from now on.”
“Fine, fine.”
Li Lan nodded and said to Chen Dong, “Dong’er, it’s getting dark, remember to send Miss Gu home.”
“Got it mum.”
Chen Dong nodded his head.
After walking out of the ward with Gu Qingying, Chen Dong finally couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “By the way, why didn’t you tell my mother just now that you and I are old classmates and that you were my bridesmaid?”
“Big man, thick-headed to the core.”
Gu Qingying gave Chen Dong a white look, “Auntie can be stimulated in this condition now? I admitted to being your classmate and being a bridesmaid, didn’t I make her get emotional and think of you and Nan Nan?”
Chen Dong was frozen.
If Gu Qingying hadn’t reminded him, he really wouldn’t have thought of this.
Before he could regain his senses, Gu Qingying’s odd question suddenly rang in his ears.
“By the way, you still haven’t told me, who is that Fan Lu who is taking care of Auntie?”
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows, “The nanny hired for my mother.”
“It’s really a nanny?” Gu Qingying was a little wary and muttered, “Then why do I feel that Auntie is treating her particularly well? When we talked just now, Auntie said more to her than she did to me.”
Chen Dong was speechless, Gu Qingying was too calculating, right?
But he still explained, “Maybe it’s because Fan Lu takes good care of her, and she’s quite sympathetic in her own right, my mother should have learned about her.”
“What is it?” Gu Qingying asked.
Chen Dong shook his head and did not speak.
Fan Lu was a girl, and girls loved beauty the most, so if they were not forced to, would they get their hands covered in calluses?
This was considered Fan Lu’s personal privacy, he still needed to respect it.
“Che …… don’t say it if you don’t say it.”
Gu Qingying beamed, “It’s auntie’s nanny anyway, so it’s fine.”
“What’s okay?” Chen Dong asked in confusion.
Gu Qingying’s eyes dodged for a moment and she was about to digress from the topic.
Suddenly, a startled cry rang out.
“Qingying?!”
Both of them were stunned at the same time and raised their eyes to look.
Not far away, Wang Nan Nan was carrying a thermos bucket and was looking at them both in astonishment.
