It's been three days.

It has been three days since Qin Shijin went to the UK.

During this period, there was contact, Lu Zhanyan asked him if everything was okay, Qin Shijin just nodded, and did not say anything else.

In fact, before, Qin Shijin often went on business trips abroad, generally for a few days, and there were also more than ten days.

But this time, Lu Zhanyan missed him very much.

Perhaps, perhaps, it is because of the fear of such a distinction.

With the phone still in his hand, Lu Zhanyan dialed his number again.

International calls.

He is far away on the other side of the ocean.

"Are you busy?" She asked thoughtfully.

"Nope."

"Have you eaten then?" At this time, it should be lunchtime on the British side.

"Eat."

His answer was always concise, and Lu Zhanyan asked again, "You...... When will you be back? ”

"I'll be back when it's done." Qin Shijin said at the other end.

Then there was a faint voice in English, a man's voice, probably his subordinate, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Lu Zhanyan knew that he had something to do, so he hurriedly said, "I'll hang up first, and then call me when I'm empty." ”

"Yan Yan." Qin Shijin shouted over there.

Lu Zhanyan was silent, and heard him say, "Wait for me at home." ”

Wait for me at home......

Lu Zhanyan held his mobile phone tightly, knowing that he couldn't see it, but he nodded solemnly, "En!" ”

After another two days, Xiao Mobai contacted her by chance. I just said that I happened to pass by near the Shun An company, so if I had time, we would have a cup of coffee together. Lu Zhanyan knew that Xiao Mobai would not be as simple as a coincidence, and there must be something to say to her.

So, Lu Zhanyan immediately passed.

"Xiao Mobai, if there is anything, just tell me directly." Lu Zhanyan didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he asked calmly.

Xiao Mobai took the spoon, slowly stirred the coffee, raised his eyes unhurriedly, looked at her and said, "Jin went to the UK this time, but it was not entirely because of business. ”

Lu Zhanyan was stunned, what? Not a business?

"What the hell did he go to England for!" Lu Zhanyan hurriedly asked.

Xiao Mobai took a sip of coffee and said in a deep voice, "Auntie is sick, and the situation is probably not very good." ”

In fact, it's not just bad, the doctor directly issued a critical illness notice.

Lu Zhanyan was messy again, and his aunt was sick, but he didn't tell her anything. However, in fact, everything about him, she passively learned, he never mentioned anything personally, he always suffered alone, never wanted to tell her, only told her that everything was fine, only let her wait for him.

"Xiao Mobai, please give me the address over there in the UK." Lu Zhanyan said, took out a notepad and pen from his satchel and handed them to him.

Xiao Mobai didn't say much, just wrote down an address.

"Thanks, I'll ask for today's coffee, I'm sorry, I have to go first." Lu Zhanyan put it away, took out the money and put it on the table, she said gratefully.

Xiao Mobai knew that she was in a hurry to make arrangements, so she didn't stay long, but just said, "By the way, don't say that I told you." ”

That guy has never liked people who make small reports.

Lu Zhan looked at it and nodded, "I know." ”

Lu Zhanyan completed everything in the fastest time and booked a plane ticket. I couldn't stay any longer, so I came to the Wuzhou headquarters that day and asked Tang Renxiu for leave.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I have some personal matters to deal with, can I take a few days off." Lu Zhanyan said.

Tang Renxiu looked at her with a solemn face, although his expression was calm, but he showed a little focus, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as you arrange the affairs of Shun'an, then I think there is no problem." It's approaching the end of the year, and there will be a lot of things, so you can't take too long. So, today is Wednesday, and the rest of the week will give you a day off and come back to work next Monday, okay? ”

Where can you still take care of it, it's just like an arrow.

Lu Zhanyan agreed, "Thank you, Mr. Tang." ”

After taking leave, Lu Zhanyan immediately rushed away.

The luggage was already ready, and the company had arranged everything. Lu Zhanyan was carrying his luggage, so eager and urgent, he flew to the UK desperately.

※※※

In London, England, it has been raining lightly and the weather is hazy recently.

In this rainy city, you can feel the gloom as soon as you get out of the airport. The temperature is not very low, but it is a few degrees below zero. But because of the rain, the wind was very cold and humid. Lu Zhanyan dragged his suitcase and walked out of the airport quickly.

She is very fluent in English, so there was no problem with communication.

I took a taxi and reported the address.

The car kept heading towards the city of London, and the rain slapped on the car window, and Lu Zhanyan turned his head to look.

Strange country, strange city, exotic architecture.

But at this moment, in Lu Zhanyan's eyes, none of them can reach Hong Kong City.

Probably because, there's their home.

In front of a business building somewhere in London, the car stopped. Lu Zhanyan took out the money and got out of the car immediately. Looking up at the building, the corporate office of Zhongzheng Group in the United Kingdom is also the place where Qin Shijin has stayed for many years. The cold wind was blowing, and she pulled her collar and ran over with her head down.

The office on that floor, with the huge word LOGO, is Zhongzheng Company.

Lu Zhanyan walked forward, and the lady at the reception was an English woman, and asked, "Miss, it's a pleasure to serve you." ”

Lu Zhanyan said, "I'm looking for Qin Shijin, please help me spread the word." ”

The other party was stunned, and seemed to be stunned by Lu Zhanyan's name so bluntly. Then when she came back to her senses, she repeated, "Are you looking for Mr. Jin?" ”

"Yes, I'm looking for him." Lu Zhanyan smiled, "Please tell him, my surname is Lu, and I'm from Hong Kong City." ”

As soon as the other party heard that it was from Hong Kong City, he immediately notified and inquired internally, and then said to Lu Zhanyan, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry, Mr. Jin is in a meeting, and it's inconvenient now." Can you wait a moment? ”

"It's okay." Lu Zhanyan understood very well, and then sat down in the chair outside and waited.

Just sat like this, and sat for an hour.

In the company's internal conference room, Qin Shijin finally finished the meeting.

The personnel came out one after another, and the assistant entered, "Mr. Jin, there is a young lady surnamed Lu looking for you outside." ”

Before the assistant's words were finished, Qin Shijin was quite displeased, his eyebrows furrowed, and he turned to the person, "Surname Lu?" ”

"Yes, she said she was from Hong Kong City......" The assistant was frightened by his eyes.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? What about people now? Qin Shijin got up and walked out.

Qin Shijin walked out quickly, and sure enough, he saw Lu Zhanyan waiting outside. The assistant was relieved to see that the person was still there, "Mr. Jin, that young lady is outside......"

Qin Shijin walked straight towards her, bowed his head and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

—

Lu Zhanyan saw him, and immediately got up, she had already thought of the reason, and said vaguely, "It just so happened that the company sent me to the UK to do some business, and I finished my business in advance, so I came to see you." ”

In fact, there was no official business, but she didn't want him to know that she came on purpose.

Qin Shijin's cold handsome face showed a little softness, and he didn't say anything more, just took her hand and pulled the suitcase for her, and went inside.

Lu Zhanyan also followed him in.

However, this move made all the employees in the UK dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, is she Mr. Jin's girlfriend?"

"Oh, it should be!"

The two entered the office, and Qin Shijin closed the door. Lu Zhanyan noticed that the employees outside were still looking at them, and she smiled at them generously. Qin Shijin simply lowered the blinds to completely isolate the gaze from the outside. One turned around and asked, "When are you going back?" ”

"It was supposed to be the weekend." Tang Renxiu's vacation for her was also on this day.

"And now?" Qin Shijin asked.

"It depends on what you mean." Lu Zhanyan looked at him.

Qin Shijin pulled her to sit down, and poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands, "Since it's the weekend, let's go back on the weekend." ”

"Okay." Lu Zhanyan did not have any objections.

"But I don't have time to accompany you, I'm a little busy these days."

"I can look around for myself." Lu Zhanyan was holding hot tea, and now that he had found him and seen him, he felt calmer and more steady. She was silent, tried her best to act like a nobody, and said with a smile, "Besides, I still want to meet Auntie, and I'm here anyway." ”

Qin Shijin smoked a cigarette and said in a low voice, "She hasn't been in good health lately. ”

"What's wrong with Auntie?" Finally, the topic came to this.

Qin Shijin was silent and said, "She is hospitalized." ”

Lu Zhanyan wanted to ask about her aunt's condition again, but someone knocked on the door and interrupted them. It was Miss Secretary, with an apologetic face, who came in to remind Qin Shijin that it was probably a representative of a partner who came and needed to be met. Lu Zhanyan was very interested, and immediately said, "Then you should be busy first." ”

Qin Shijin took out a room card and handed it to her, and then said to the secretary, "Send a car to take her to my hotel." ”

It was a hotel not far from the company, a simple suite, but it was not very luxurious.

The secretary dropped her off and left.

Lu Zhanyan put down his luggage and took a look, only to find that there were his clothes in the cupboard of the hotel, neatly displayed. But the hotel is always a hotel, not the slightest bit angry, cold. Even if the heating is turned on, there is still a cold breath coming through. Lu Zhanyan always thought that he should have a home in the UK, after all, his aunt was here. But now she realized that it was very different from what she had imagined.

Actually, I've always wanted to ask.

How could there be such a strangeness between him and his aunt.

※※※

Maybe it was because of Lu Zhanyan's arrival, so Qin Shijin came back quite early, but he arrived at half past three.

Lu Zhanyan didn't sleep, she sat on the windowsill and admired London in the rain.

Hearing the movement, Lu Zhanyan immediately turned his head to look and saw Qin Shijin walking in. She went down from the windowsill, looked at Qin Shijin and asked, "You just said that Auntie was hospitalized?" ”

"Yes."

"How's it going?"

"The doctor said that if the condition is stabilized, there is no major problem." His tone was flat, and he didn't seem to be anxious.

But Lu Zhanyan understood that it could not be so simple.

If there was no big problem, then Xiao Mobai would not have come to tell her.

"Is it stable now?" Lu Zhanyan continued to ask.

Qin Shijin didn't want to say more, his silence already represented everything, and the situation must be very bad.

"Qin Shijin, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Zhanyan asked.

Qin Shijin said indifferently, "Tell you, what's the use?" You're not a doctor either. ”

"Yes, I'm not a doctor, I don't know anything about medical knowledge, but ......" Lu Zhanyan was so dazed, he said it so correctly, but in fact, he told her that it was really useless. She bit her lip tightly, looked him in the eye and said, "But you can tell me, although I am useless, I am willing to share it for you." I don't want you to hide everything but yourself. Qin Shijin, I don't like this. ”

Lu Zhanyan only felt that her eyes were very sour, and she couldn't bear to cry.

But at this moment, her appearance, in Qin Shijin's eyes, was about to cry.

Qin Shijin walked in front of her, stretched out his hand, his fingers gently caressed her eyes, and his fingertips wiped away the tears.

"Say you're stupid, and you still don't admit it. Fool, I'm fine. He said gently.

There was a sudden sourness in her heart, but she couldn't cry in front of him at this time. He always hated her tears, and he didn't like to see them.

Lu Zhanyan forced the tears back, grabbed his arm and said, "Then let's go to the hospital." ”

In the hospital in London, Lu Zhanyan finally saw Lin Haiyin.

She was lying in the hospital room, hanging on a drip, and was asleep.

In her memory, Lin Haiyin has always been beautiful, so Lu Zhanyan never thought that one day, she would also be old and so weak and haggard.

After watching quietly for a long time, Lin Haiyin didn't wake up.

The nurse came to warn them not to linger too long.

On the way back, Lu Zhanyan said, "What is Auntie's illness?" ”

Qin Shijin was silent, and didn't speak for a long time, so long that when she thought he didn't want to mention it again, he said again, "Depression, decay of physical functions." ”

"Depression? How so? In her impression, although the aunt is not very lively, she is also cheerful and gentle.

"She has been in a bad mental state, so she is recuperating abroad." A simple few words, but it seems to be hiding something.

Lu Zhanyan pursed his lips, he didn't know what to say for a while, and asked again, "Qin Shijin, do you stay in hotels in the UK?" ”

"Yes."

"And before?" Didn't he study abroad when he was in the UK before, and he stayed there for so long.

"Before?"

"You're not going to stay in a hotel all the time, are you?"

"I used to live in a company."

"What about when you're studying?"

"Live in the school."

Lu Zhanyan stared ahead, his afterglow swept towards him, and he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you live with your aunt?" ”

The bright light of the car in front of him immediately swept over, and Qin Shijin said lightly, "It's more convenient and better." ”
