Chapter 322 Didn’t Her Father Die?
"Oh, her family moved away a few days ago. It seems that Xinxin's father came back! It is said that he has been working outside for many years, and he always felt that he owed this mother and daughter, saying that they had suffered too much. And what's even more unfortunate is that Xinxin's mother is still sick and not in good health, so as soon as he came back, he decided to take them to move to a better building. Look, even the house they used to live in was sold. I heard from Xinxin's mother that they seemed to have moved to the Rongtai Shijia community, in Room 6, Building 1401." The person who spoke explained the situation to Qiao Jingyu in a calm tone.
"Oh, thank you." Qiao Jingyu smiled and thanked him politely. But she couldn't help wondering: Didn't Zhao Xinxin's father die a long time ago? How could he suddenly appear? Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu was still a little worried, so she stopped a taxi without hesitation and went straight to Rongtai Family.
Not long after, the car stopped steadily in front of Rongtai Family. After paying the fare, Qiao Jingyu hurriedly got off the car and walked straight to Building 6. Soon, she arrived at the door of Room 1401. After standing still, Qiao Jingyu raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, and shouted, "Is anyone home?" However, she called several times in a row, but there was no response from inside the house. Just as Qiao Jingyu was about to knock on the door again, she suddenly heard a sound of something falling to the ground in the house.
Qiao Jingyu's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen carefully. But then, the room returned to silence, as if the noise just now was just her illusion. Time passed by minute by minute, and after about four or five minutes, the tightly closed door was finally slowly opened from the inside.
A tall middle-aged man appeared in front of Qiao Jingyu. He looked at Qiao Jingyu with a smile and asked gently, "Little girl, who are you looking for?"
"Hello uncle! I'm here to see Zhao Xinxin. I'm her classmate." Qiao Jingyu said with a polite smile.
The tall man in front of him had a friendly smile on his face. He quickly stepped aside to welcome Qiao Jingyu into the house and said with a hint of anger, "Oh, Xinxin is such a jerk. Why didn't she tell us in advance when her classmates were coming? We didn't prepare anything at home."
Qiao Jingyu quickly explained: "Uncle, please don't blame Xinxin. In fact, I just had something urgent to do this time, so I didn't inform her in advance that I would come."
"Oh, so that's how it is." The man nodded to show his understanding, and then asked enthusiastically: "Children, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Come on, come on, uncle will go to the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes for you." As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen.
"Uncle, there's really no need to bother. I've already had dinner." Qiao Jingyu hurriedly stopped him, and at the same time quickly glanced around the room, then asked in confusion: "Is Xinxin not home?"
"Haha, Xinxin is at home, in her mother's room. Our house is well soundproofed, so maybe she didn't hear anyone coming." The man replied with a smile, then strode towards the innermost room of the house, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door, shouting, "Xinxin, your classmates are here to see you."
At this time, Qiao Jingyu stood quietly behind the man, her eyes unconsciously falling on him. The man was wearing a dark green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of straight black trousers, and he looked like a businessman.
After a while, Zhao Xinxin opened the door. Qiao Jingyu saw that Zhao Xinxin's mother looked pale, but her mother had recovered well a few days ago, so how could this happen?
Zhao Xinxin opened the door and saw that it was Qiao Jingyu. The moment their eyes met, Zhao Xinxin felt as if a hot wave of heat surged up in her heart, instantly drowning her whole body. Tears rolled uncontrollably in her eyes, but she bit her lips desperately, forcing them not to fall.
For Qiao Jingyu, she may never understand what her presence at this moment means to Zhao Xinxin. It was not just a simple visit, but more like a bright starlight that cut through the dark night sky, bringing endless hope and warmth to Zhao Xinxin.
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu noticed Zhao Xinxin's eyes, which were as red and swollen as ripe peaches. She couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two interns, and her heart ached slightly.
Then, Qiao Jingyu walked into the room with light steps. What came into view was Zhao Xinxin's mother lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely weak. Her face was haggard, her complexion was as yellow as autumn leaves, and her skin, which should have been fair and delicate, became dull and lifeless. The deeply sunken cheekbones on both sides were clearly visible, obviously caused by long-term pain. But when she saw Qiao Jingyu, her eyes, which were originally a little dull, suddenly bloomed with a strange brilliance, and the expression on her face could not hide the excitement: "Jingyu, come and sit down quickly, sit down quickly!"
Qiao Jingyu smiled and nodded. It seemed that Zhao Xinxin must have mentioned her often at home.
"Xinxin, don't just stand there like an idiot. Go get your classmate a glass of water!" The man said to Zhao Xinxin with a smile. After that, he turned his gaze to Qiao Jingyu and said enthusiastically, "Please sit down, please sit down!"
Qiao Jingyu nodded slightly in thanks, then walked lightly towards the small and exquisite sofa placed beside her and sat down slowly. At this moment, the man also walked over here, and it seemed that he was going to sit next to Qiao Jingyu. However, before he took two steps, he heard Zhao Xinxin's mother say, "Zhiwen, you still have things to do, go and deal with them quickly, Xinxin and I will be here."
Zhao Zhiwen's body suddenly stiffened, as if he was fixed in place, but he soon recovered and responded with a gentle smile on his face: "It's not easy for a guest to come to our house. Even if we are very busy, we don't mind a little while."
But Zhao Xinxin's mother didn't buy it and continued to persuade her: "Let's just get together as women and chat about family matters. It's really not convenient for a grown man like you to stay here."
Seeing this, the man finally gave up his idea and turned to walk towards the bed. When he reached the bed, he naturally stretched out his right hand and tightly held Zhao Xinxin's mother's hand, and whispered softly: "Okay, but don't talk for too long. After all, your physical condition has not been very good. You still need to pay more attention to rest."
Since Zhao Zhiwen was facing away from Qiao Jingyu, she couldn't see the expression on his face. But for some reason, at that moment, Qiao Jingyu seemed to see a hint of fear flashing in Zhao Xinxin's mother's eyes. So she couldn't help but concentrate her attention to see more clearly, but when she looked again, she found nothing unusual.
Zhao Zhiwen gave some instructions and got up to go out. When he reached the kitchen door, he happened to meet Zhao Xinxin who was pouring water.
