Chapter 264 Lin Qiuran's Concealment
"Are you hiding something from me? Or has something happened at home?"
When I pushed her too far, Lin Qiuran finally turned around and answered me, making up a random excuse to brush me off.
"No, everything's fine. I've just been busy dealing with the restaurant lately, and I'm exhausted. It's okay, now that you're back, I'll rest for a few days and I'll be fine."
But I can tell at a glance whether he's telling the truth or not. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
My words forced Lin Qiuran to turn her head and look at me directly. When she saw my serious expression, she immediately backed down.
"You knew all along?"
What do I know?
I don't know what he was talking about.
But I didn't say anything, I just stared at him.
I know him well enough. With me watching him like this, his little schemes immediately crumbled.
The next second, Lin Qiuran couldn't hold back and went berserk, cursing at the people in the restaurant.
"I told those guys at the restaurant to stop talking nonsense, but it still got back to you. They're the ones who told you, aren't they?"
Even the people at the restaurant know?
The matter is quite serious; everyone in the restaurant knows about it.
Seeing Lin Qiuran's attitude and her repulsive manner, something felt familiar.
He only ever did that with one person.
I immediately had a guess in my mind.
"Is it Song Yafei? Has she come to Hancheng?"
"You didn't know?" Lin Qiuran finally realized that I was bluffing him.
However, they also realized that they had no choice but to speak out now.
He scratched his head, looking troubled. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't want her to bother you."
"But I sent him away. I don't know what got into him, but he caused a scene at the restaurant and insisted on looking for you."
"Why are you contacting me now? Why didn't you do this sooner?"
I was a little surprised at how he managed to get rid of Song Yafei, after all, she was a difficult person to deal with.
So I asked him.
At this point, Lin Qiuran was also a little confused.
"I was also surprised. Actually, I didn't say anything. He came like a gust of wind and asked me where I had gone, and then asked Han Nian."
"I told her that Han Nian had gone to get married, and then she left in a hurry."
"It's that simple?"
After hearing what I said, Lin Qiuran also felt that it was a bit too simple.
I didn't say anything more, but I was indeed a little surprised by Song Yafei's sudden appearance.
She appeared suddenly, and then disappeared just as suddenly.
It's really a bit puzzling!
Back at the apartment, I handed my suitcase to the servants, and Lin Qiuran and I sat in the garden drinking tea.
Lin Qiuran suddenly blurted out, "Hey, do you think Song Yafei has misunderstood?"
What's the misunderstanding?
“When she asked me at the time, I just said it offhand. Now that I think about it, it seems easy for people to misunderstand that you and Han Nian are getting married.”
Lin Qiuran thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, so she started to analyze it seriously.
"I remember Song Yafei turned her face away and left. Her face was as black as Bao Gong's, as if it was a misunderstanding."
I smiled and said nonchalantly, "So what if it's a misunderstanding? It's not the first time she's misunderstood me."
If it's true, that's good too; maybe then we won't bother each other anymore.
Seeing that I didn't care, Lin Qiuran stopped talking about it.
I happily shared my experiences in Country B with Lin Qiuran.
"You know what? I found my family. I never thought my grandparents were still alive."
"Really?" Lin Qiuran was incredulous and almost jumped up from her chair.
"I met Uncle Feng in Country B. My grandparents were very old, and that's when Uncle Feng told me the truth."
"So they've been looking for me all these years."
Lin Qiuran nodded repeatedly, "This is really wonderful. I never thought you could find your family and get cured. You've finally overcome all your hardships."
is it?
Will sweetness finally appear in my life?
And it does seem that way; beautiful things seem to be getting closer to me. Is it possible for me to grasp them?
Before I could say anything, I turned my head and found that Lin Qiuran's eyes had unknowingly reddened.
"what happened?"
Lin Qiuran shook her head, looked up and forced back her tears, "I'm just happy for you. You can finally have a couple of days of peace and quiet."
I knew he was genuinely happy for me, and my heart warmed as well. I patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, look at you, so pathetic. If Little Cherry sees you, she'll probably laugh at you again."
When the topic turned to children, Lin Qiuran dropped her childish act and put on a brave face.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then asked me, "Are your grandparents good to you?"
"Of course!"
I gave him a brief account of my maternal grandparents' situation.
Upon hearing this, he slapped his thigh and stood up, exclaiming, "Tian'er, you're truly blessed with good fortune! I never imagined your good luck would come so soon!"
"So your mother's family is so powerful and influential."
I couldn't help but laugh as I watched him act like a clown. "Yeah, you're that rich. Aren't you envious?"
"Yes, I'm envious. But I'm even happier for you! Wow, congratulations on finally finding your family."
Lin Qiuran's sudden seriousness made me feel a little uncomfortable.
But after the initial joy, bad news also came.
After hesitating for a while, I decided to tell Lin Qiuran my decision.
“Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, and I need to take care of things at home. I’m afraid the business in Hancheng will have to be handed over to you and Han Nian.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiuran was somewhat disappointed, but he still readily agreed.
"Don't worry, things are basically stable in Hancheng now. With Han Nian and me here, there won't be any problems. You can rest assured."
I know my decision may be somewhat selfish, but if possible, I would also like to bring Lin Qiuran and her family to Country B.
But Lin Qiuran is not alone now; he also has his family, a wife and children.
Besides, they've already settled down in Hancheng, so I have no reason to make them travel around because of me.
Separation may be painful, but knowing that you can both be doing well is probably not a bad choice.
"Don't worry, once I've settled down in Country B and everything is stable, I will definitely open one of our restaurants there."
"Then we'll have a reason to travel back and forth between the two places."
Hearing me say that, Lin Qiuran's expression softened considerably. "So when do you plan to go?"
I didn't reply to him immediately because I hadn't decided yet.
Wu Qian and Han Nian are both pregnant and about to give birth one after the other. At this time, I...
I can't leave and ignore the restaurant's affairs.
Lin Qiuran has to take care of his wife and children, as well as Han Nian. Even though everyone is able to hire someone to take care of them, they still can't be in two places at once most of the time.
So I plan to wait until they've both had their babies and things have settled down before I leave.
But I didn't want Lin Qiuran to feel that they were a burden to me, so I didn't say it outright.
As darkness fell, I urged Lin Qiuran to go home.
But after he left, I felt a little desolate. The smile on my face gradually faded, and I felt a mix of emotions.
