91 The Meeting
“Look at the questions, why are you looking at me?”
Zhai Jing realized that Le Wan had been looking at him during the tutoring session. Moreover, she was not peeking at him secretly. She was looking straight at him.
“I just want to. Am I not allowed to?” Once again, Le Wan glared at Zhai Jing.
Le Wan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back after a pause.
“How’s auntie’s condition recently?” She asked.
At the mention of this, Zhai Jing’s mood was better. She’s doing well. The doctor said that the operation can be scheduled.
Because her body was too weak, it was not ideal for the operation. Therefore, to increase the success rate of the operation, the doctor’s suggestion was to try to stabilize her physical condition as much as possible. Perhaps it was because she knew that she had finally found a kidney, Mother Zhai, who had been complaining about giving up treatment, suddenly became energetic. Her body burst out with a strong vitality.
At the thought of this, Zhai Jing hesitated for a while before asking,
“Are you free these few days?”
This question was a little strange. Le Wan said,
“Don’t you know if I’m free or not?”
It wasn’t even the weekend yet. She had to attend classes during the day and makeup lessons with him after school. How could she have the time?
Zhai Jing casually said something that shocked Le Wan.
“My mother wants to see you.”
Meet the parents? So fast? Le Wan was stunned for a few seconds before she gradually realized that this was not the case.
Although their relationship was indeed a little ambiguous, it was not confirmed yet. She believed that given Zhai Jing’s character, he would not introduce her to Mother Zhai rashly.
“She found out about the kidney and said that she wanted to see you before the operation,” Zhai Jing said.
Initially, Mother Zhai only knew that she had a suitable kidney. Zhai Jing didn’t tell her anything about Le Wan. It was not that he wanted to erase Le Wan’s credit, but he didn’t want Mother Zhai to feel burdened.
However, after receiving the news that she could undergo surgery, his mother became more and more energetic. She was gradually able to get out of bed and walk around, so she got the news from her other patients.
“How could you hide such a big thing from me? I’ve enjoyed such a great favor, and I’m not even going to thank anyone. This is too rude.” Mother Zhai blamed Zhai Jing a little.
Zhai Jing explained to her, “I wanted to tell you after you finished the operation.”
“No, it’ll be too late.” The main reason was that Mother Zhai was afraid that her operation would fail and she would not be able to get off the operating table. Hence, she wanted to meet the legendary Le Wan who was brave and righteous in advance. She wanted to meet this girl who was very important to Zhai Jing so that she could walk onto the operating table in a completely relaxed manner.
Under the strong request of his mother, Zhai Jing had no choice but to ask Le Wan.
Knowing that his mother wanted to see her to thank her for her kidney, Le Wan immediately adjusted her attitude.
“Let’s do it tomorrow afternoon then. We’ll end the tutoring earlier.”
It was too late, and she didn’t prepare anything. It would be rude of her to visit the patient empty-handed.
The next afternoon, Le Wan received a call.
“Okay, I’ll be out soon.”
After she hung up the phone, she urged Zhai Jing.
“Let’s go to the hospital to visit auntie.”
Seeing her in high spirits, Zhai Jing was also a little happy.
“My mother knows that you’re going to visit her. She woke up early in the morning to prepare.”
Although the conditions in the hospital were simple, Mother Zhai still carefully cleaned up the things on the bed and cleaned herself up.
Le Wan felt a little apologetic when she heard this.
“Wouldn’t that be tormenting her?”
However, Zhai Jing didn’t mind.
“She can be busy with other things and she’ll be more energetic.”
The two of them walked to the parking lot and drove out of the school gate. However, Le Wan stopped by the roadside. She looked around and suddenly rolled down the window. She waved and said,
“Here.”
Then, Zhai Jing saw a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties who was very clean and tidy. She was carrying a black bag as she got out of a car and walked straight to Le Wan.
“Le Wan, this is what you wanted.” She passed the black bag to Le Wan.
“Thank you, Ms. Zhang. I’ve troubled you to make this trip.” Le Wan received it gratefully.
“It’s fine. I just happened to come out to buy some things.”
While Madam Zhang was talking to Le Wan, her eyes would occasionally shift to Zhai Jing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. her eyes were filled with curiosity and she was sizing him up.
