Chapter 83 Where did this handsome young man come from?
Yu Huan suddenly discovered a very strange place.
From the moment he entered the door, Old Lin's expression was very somber.
He looked as if a dark cloud was pressing down on him, shrouded in gloom. His brows were furrowed, forming a deep wrinkle, and his eyes behind his glasses had lost their usual sparkle, appearing somewhat dim.
Yu Huan pondered to himself.
The research department must have plenty of data to make predictions; Lao Lin should have known long ago that the print media market was shrinking.
Surely it's not that she should be this depressed?
After a moment of reflection, Lao Lin abruptly released the mouse and slumped into his chair.
Looking up at Yu Huan's face, he said, "I only received the news late at night. You Rong's grandfather suffered a sudden cerebral infarction and was admitted to the intensive care unit yesterday at noon—"
"What?" Yu Huan was taken aback.
Old Lin was interrupted by him. After swallowing, he continued, "However, he has been saved."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"The old man's condition is probably not very good right now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's heart leaped into her throat again.
This is Lin Yourong's maternal grandfather, her direct relative. From what Yu Huan only knew of him, he was the kind of person with a very high pension.
Startled, I asked, "How is the old man?"
“I don’t know either. You Rong’s uncle said verbally that he was fine, but based on my understanding of him, although he is out of danger, his condition is definitely not good.”
Does Rongrong know?
“I haven’t told her yet.” Old Lin shook his head and continued, “She’s been very busy lately. I’m planning to go to Wuling with your mother-in-law early this morning to see how things are going before deciding whether to call her back.”
Yu Huan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Well... how about I drive you two there? Dad, you're still working so late, are you sure you can drive?" Yu Huan paused for a moment, then added, "I happen to have a weekend off."
Old Lin looked at Yu Huan's deep face and said, "Alright, after you finish your late-night snack, go back and get a good night's sleep. Hmm, dress a little more formally then."
"Okay, Dad, would you like some barbecue?"
"No need. I had a bowl of wontons at home before coming to the newspaper office. Xiao Yu, unless there's something else, I won't call you. Just come over and pick up my car at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Yu Huan nodded vigorously: "I'll be downstairs at nine o'clock sharp tomorrow."
"Get some rest." Old Lin picked up the mouse with his right hand and waved his left hand, saying, "Go get some late-night snacks."
"Then I'll leave first."
"Ah."
Yu Huan immediately turned and went outside.
From a etiquette perspective, if the wife's maternal grandfather suddenly falls seriously ill, then he must visit him.
The key point is that Lin Yourong's maternal grandfather was unaware that the two had secretly married.
And, who knows, we might have to keep it a secret.
Upon realizing this, I felt as if a huge rock was pressing on my chest, and even my breathing became extremely heavy.
It's really a bit difficult to handle.
After leaving the Lianhe Zaobao building, it was a little past two in the morning. The cold wind was extremely strong, relentlessly slicing across my face, piercing through my clothes, and penetrating my skin.
Yu Huan tightened the zipper of her jacket and quickly walked to the bike shed.
Hop on the electric scooter and put on your helmet.
After passing the security booth, turn right and head towards Huajing Street.
The thick coat she was wearing looked so thin in the raging cold wind. With each breath, the cold air seeped into her body through her nasal cavity, causing Yu Huan to shiver involuntarily.
He wrapped his clothes tighter around himself and muttered, "It would be terrible if I caught a cold. I still need to take my father-in-law and mother-in-law to Wuling tomorrow!"
Yu Huan rode his bicycle slowly, and soon saw a Yuezhou barbecue restaurant on the side of the street. The barbecue grill was placed at the door, with smoke swirling around it and emitting an enticing aroma.
Through the glass door, I could see the new media department staff sitting around a large round table. I quickly twisted the brakes, parked my electric scooter on the curb, locked it, and strode in, saying as I unbuckled my helmet, "Have you ordered? Have you ordered drinks and beer?"
The group of people who had their backs to him turned around, and Chen Yaoyao smiled, revealing two deep dimples, and replied, "We've ordered!"
"Eat first, order more if you're not full." Yu Huan, holding his helmet, waved his hand and said, "Boss lady, bring me a pot of plain water!"
He needs a hot drink to warm himself up.
……
The next day.
The jarring alarm clock at eight o'clock dragged Yu Huan out of her warm dream.
He deliberately didn't draw the curtains last night. When he opened his eyes and looked out the window, the sky was a pale blue-black.
Clearly, this was not a sunny day.
With the slightest movement of his limbs, he felt the pervasive cold air seeping through the gaps in the blankets, causing him to unconsciously shrink his body.
He yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
After all, I only slept for a little over four hours.
However, the thought of having to be downstairs at Mr. Lin's house at exactly nine o'clock to drive him and his mother-in-law to Wuling made him hastily muster his energy and scramble out of bed. He dared not delay for even the slightest moment.
Old Lin told him to dress more formally.
He hunched over as he pulled out a complete Armani outfit from the closet and carefully put it on piece by piece.
Finally, I opened the drawer in the wardrobe, took out the treasured white silk, and took a deep sniff to refresh myself.
Not bad.
Lin Yourong's scent is instantly intoxicating.
I feel more energetic now!
Yu Huan first poured a glass of boiled water that she had boiled the night before and placed it on the coffee table.
I strolled to the bathroom, quickly squeezed out the toothpaste, and brushed the toothbrush back and forth in my mouth. The refreshing minty flavor instantly filled my entire mouth, taking away the last bit of sleepiness.
I cupped my hands in the cold water, patted my cheeks, picked up a towel, and washed my face with the cold water. I felt refreshed.
After styling her hair with hair wax, Yu Huan looked at her refreshed self in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
Upon reaching the living room, he picked up the only lukewarm water on the coffee table and drank it all in one gulp.
Because of the time constraint, I bought two small shumai from a steamed bun shop on the street after going downstairs.
I stood on the curb, munching on my food while waiting for a taxi.
While sitting in the taxi, Lao Lin suddenly sent him a WeChat message: 'Xiao Yu, come up and have a bowl of wontons first; your mother-in-law made them last night.'
Yu Huan stuffed a small shumai into her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and replied, "Dad, I'm in the car, we'll be there soon!"
Although I was eating, I didn't refuse. Two small shumai weren't enough to fill my stomach!
"Don't worry, I just spoke with You Rong's uncle. The old man's condition has stabilized, and he's been moved to a regular ward."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan typed out: 'Okay, then I'm relieved.'
We arrived at our destination shortly afterward.
Yu Huan took out her phone downstairs and glanced at it: 8:50.
I strolled into the residential area, took the elevator straight up to the fifteenth floor, and knocked on the door.
Old Lin opened the door casually, still chewing something. I glanced at him casually, intending to say hello, but suddenly froze.
Where did this handsome young man come from?
Yu Huan?
I almost don't recognize her!
