The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 935 - 904: Uninvited Guests

The next morning, Tang Qian had Wang Yong go to He Tiantian’s house and tell her that he had been injured yesterday and couldn’t go to the international hotel with her today.

Tang Qian knew in his heart that showing up in front of He Tiantian now would certainly make He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin suspect him of having ulterior motives, so it was safer not to appear.

He Tiantian frowned slightly upon hearing that. What was Tang Qian up to?

"How could The Fourth Young Master be injured?" He Tiantian asked, feeling quite surprised—it must be something serious.

Otherwise, Tang Qian wouldn’t miss such a crucial moment.

"Yesterday, when The Fourth Young Master was cycling home, he accidentally collided with a car." Wang Yong answered. He was also curious—yesterday, he had wanted to go out with The Fourth Young Master, but The Fourth Young Master had sent him to take care of another matter. If he had been there, the accident wouldn’t have happened.

"What?" He Tiantian was astonished. "Is it serious?"

"It’s not serious; he just scraped his face and applied some ointment and bandages, making it inconvenient to go out." Wang Yong responded, though actually, there was nothing serious—he didn’t understand why The Fourth Young Master had seemed so gravely injured when he got out of the car last night.

"Well, that’s good." He Tiantian nodded. "Tell Uncle Xiao Si that he can come to see me when it’s convenient for him to move around."

"Alright." Wang Yong agreed.

He Tiantian was greatly relieved, chuckling to herself. Last night, she had thought of several excuses to prevent Tang Qian from meeting with Qi Zhengmin.

Now, she didn’t need them at all.

Great!

Meanwhile, Huo Yingjie, who was reading the newspaper, couldn’t help but shake his head and smile. His little wife truly had a hard lot—she had tossed and turned, unable to sleep last night.

However, she was bound to be disappointed.

Qi Zhengmin and Tang Qian had already met last night.

Huo Yingjie had thought about mentioning it, but seeing how happy He Tiantian was, he decided not to say anything to avoid spoiling her good mood.

"Since you’re not going out, let’s go to the hospital together to visit Yuan Chao," suggested Huo Yingjie with a smile. According to the doctor’s earlier statement, Zhou Yuanchao might be discharged in a few days. This visit to the hospital might be their last.

"Sure!" He Tiantian said with a smile. "Wait for me; I’ll get ready."

Afterward, He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, and their child went together.

After visiting Zhou Yuanchao, they decided to take advantage of the sunny day and take their child out to play.

At the hospital, Wang Ying was standing at the entrance, as if lost in thought.

"Wang Ying, didn’t I tell you to rest at home?" He Tiantian asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Ying smiled. "Sister-in-law, it’s okay. Xie Wu happened to drive me here for a follow-up today. He said I am all good as long as I’m cautious."

Wang Ying being a doctor, He Tiantian didn’t press further.

"That’s good." He Tiantian sighed with relief. "But why are you standing outside? Why don’t you go in?"

Wang Ying frowned. "I don’t know. My mother-in-law brought someone over, claiming they’re from our hometown, but I don’t recognize them. The door is locked, and I don’t think it’s proper for me to enter, so I’m waiting outside."

"The door is locked?" He Tiantian was startled, her curiosity piqued.

Huo Yingjie also frowned. It shouldn’t be a professional matter, right? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Could someone be making life difficult for Zhou Yuanchao?

"Yes, I can’t go in either, Boss, sister-in-law, I’m sorry to trouble you to wait outside for a bit," Wang Ying said shyly. "I’m really sorry, you came to visit Yuan Chao yet it’s causing you such concern."

"It’s fine, we can wait outside for a while." He Tiantian smiled, "We’re not busy, come, have a seat, Wang Ying, you sit too."

He Tiantian held the children back, preventing them from roaming around the hospital and disturbing other patients.

Wang Ying and He Tiantian were chatting.

After a while, the door to the sickroom opened.

A skinny old man came out from inside, followed by Yan Cui.

Seeing people outside, the old man quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Let Yuan Chao rest well, I’m leaving."

"Then goodbye." Yan Cui was not very enthusiastic and didn’t accompany him downstairs.

"Aunt Yan, who was that relative?" He Tiantian asked curiously, usually, relatives just come, but why lock the door? It seemed a bit like the situation of hiding something by pointing it out.

Yan Cui thought for a moment and shook her head, "Ah, a relative we didn’t used to keep in touch with."

Then she said no more.

Seeing this, He Tiantian knew Yan Cui didn’t want to say more.

"Oh." He Tiantian smiled, "How is Yuan Chao doing? Did the doctors say when he can be discharged?"

Yan Cui smiled and said, "The doctor said Yuan Chao is recovering very well, and he can be discharged the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will move to the courtyard near Maoer Alley, which is convenient for going in and out, and easier to take care of."

"That’s really great." He Tiantian smiled, "Then the day after tomorrow, we won’t come to the hospital, we will just visit your home directly."

"Okay!" Yan Cui said with a happy smile, as long as her son could recover, that’s better than anything.

While He Tiantian and Yan Cui were talking, Huo Yingjie was sitting in a chair next to Zhou Yuanchao, talking to him in a low voice.

"Boss..." Zhou Yuanchao hesitated, clearly struggling with something.

Huo Yingjie smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about, kid? Just say it, if I can help, I’ll do my best."

"Thank you, Boss," Zhou Yuanchao was moved, thinking about the boss’s help and care over the years. Without the boss, he would never have reached his position today; at most, he would have been a technician, not a promising young researcher.

"Heh, you’re acting a bit strange today. Are you hiding something from me?" Huo Yingjie frowned, waiting for Zhou Yuanchao to speak about his difficulty.

There was something he couldn’t help with if Zhou Yuanchao didn’t speak up.

Moreover, this matter could affect their relationship, so Huo Yingjie hoped Zhou Yuanchao would trust him and stand by his side.

Seeing how much his big brother trusted him, Zhou Yuanchao seemed to have realized something and said with a mix of panic and guilt, "Boss, the person who just came is my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie finally felt relieved; Zhou Yuanchao was still a brother he could trust.

In fact, Huo Yingjie had already recognized the skinny old man.

It was Zhou Yuanchao’s so-called "uncle"—he was the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Bing, and the biological father of Zhou Yuanyuan!

But Huo Yingjie was curious, how could Zhou Bing be Zhou Yuanchao’s biological father?

"Your uncle?" Huo Yingjie asked in surprise. He also wanted to know, "Didn’t you say before that everyone in your hometown except your aunt had passed away?"

Zhou Yuanchao forced a smile and said, "That’s what my mother told me, so I believed it. Moreover, since I was sensible, in Nan City, my mother raised me by herself. Later, when she met my stepfather, she followed him, taking me with her to Mongolia."
