"So she did something wrong herself. When the boss found out, she splashed the dirty water on me," she said, covering her face and crying. Her tears flowed more and more, her shoulders heaving with sobs, her breaths becoming shorter.
Yuan Xueshan was heartbroken.
Mr. Huo, due to his strict attitude, didn't immediately believe Huo Jinlan's words, but his face turned pale. Who would want to marry such an ambitious and reckless girl to his family?
"I'm furious," Yuan Xueshan burst out, "What does this Jiang Nanfei take our Huo family for? This wedding must be cancelled. Cancel it tomorrow, cancel it right now. It's shameless. She did something so disgraceful and now wants to blame our Jinlan. It's too much."
A smug smile curved at the corner of Huo Jinlan's mouth. She didn't expect this misfortune to bring her good luck. As long as her brother didn't marry Jiang Nanfei, what did it matter if she was wronged a little?
A crack appeared in the door of the bedroom on the first floor. An old man with white hair, who had been listening for a long time, was thinking about striking first. No, he had to call his grandson and get him back home first, or he'd lose his granddaughter-in-law.
It took about four hours from Xiao Wang Village to the provincial city and they finally arrived at midnight. The journey was very quiet, and the back of the truck was so quiet that it seemed like there was no one there, even Chen Qi, who was usually the most lively, had nothing to say.
After entering the city, Chen Qi was thinking about what to say. The mother and daughter were too pitiful, should he just take them directly to the entrance of the hospital?
"Knock knock..." a voice came from the back of the truck, a man's voice, lazy and low, "Stop by the provincial hospital on the way."
Jiang Nanfei was thrilled, gripping Zhang Fengmei's hand in excitement.
"Chief, where are you going?"
"Cough cough... to visit an old friend, I heard this guy broke his leg, I'm going to see if he's become a cripple."
"Thank you...Thank you all, thank you, Captain." Aside from expressing her gratitude, Nanfei didn't know what else to say. After the vehicle smoothly stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Chen Qi got out of the car to help Jiang Nanfei and Zhang Fengmei out. After bidding each other farewell and bowing again in gratitude, Jiang Nanfei entered the hospital.
Watching Jiang Nanfei carefully helping someone else, Chen Qi scratched his head and praised, "Boss, this girl really pays respects to her elders! My mom loves girls who show filial piety."
After he finished speaking, a small stone was thrown from the truck and accurately hit Chen Qi on the head.
"Stop looking, hurry up and drive the car into the inpatient department."
"What are you doing there, Chief?"
"Didn't I tell you? Visiting a friend."
Chen Qi was confused. At first, he figured that his boss was just trying to help the girl out as an excuse, but it turned out to be true. He really shouldn't think too highly of the boss.
Looking at the captain entering the inpatient department, Chen Qi and the others waited outside. In a casual conversation, he asked, "Who is the captain going to the hospital to see?"
A set of suppressed laughter came from the back of the truck, and an eloquent man popped out from the back trunk, showing a spirited face, and said joyfully, "It's none other than our renowned Tu Lou from the maritime company!"
Mentioning the name Tu Lou, everyone in the car had a weird look. The surname Tu was already rare enough. Imagine a person, a normal citizen, actually naming themselves Tu Lou. And what if this person has an older brother named Tu Cheng?
That would simply be a disaster!
"There's a call," the back of the truck paused for a few seconds, and the eloquent face emerged from the trunk again, "Go, tell the boss to return to the company's location. There's an urgent matter."
"Okay!" Chen Qi agreed and quickly jumped off the truck to call the boss.
