The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 569

Qilan stood up from his seat, with joy in his eyes: "Li Yan recovered so well, thank you and Mr. Bai for rejuvenating!"

Lin Mi also happily walked over to hold Bai Zhi's hand, and kept saying thanks.

The little guard is already an indispensable member of the family, more like a child adopted by her father.Even knowing his life experience, his loyalty has not diminished.

After lunch, everyone went to rest.Lin Mi basked in the sun in the yard for a while, returned to the guest room filled with medicinal fragrance, and soon fell asleep.

A corner of the yard is sheltered by pines and cypresses.Qilan stood on the top of the wall with a small bag on his back, and then dropped a long rope to pull Chen Xing up.

They turned outside the courtyard, winding their way around the maze along the cemetery of the abandoned old church, and successfully found the exit with the help of the marks left earlier.

The familiar small two-story house gradually approached.The yellow light in the bedroom shines through the off-white curtains, which is very conspicuous in the sunlight.

"Why don't you turn off the lights in Xiaomei's house during the day?"

"I think it's weird too, just be careful."

It stands to reason that she and Li Yan's uncle had a wedding banquet yesterday and should return to the Hong residence.They cautiously touched the bamboo forest behind the house, looked around carefully, and knocked on the door lightly after making sure that there was no suspicious person.

There was a creak in the small window, and the old servant looked carefully with wide eyes before pulling the latch and letting the two of them in.

"Mother Shi, where's Miss Xiaomei?"

As soon as Qilan opened her mouth, she saw her pointing upstairs, "I came back in the middle of the night last night. The lady refused to say anything, and she didn't want to eat. My eyelids are twitching wildly."

From midnight to dawn, Shi Ma got out of bed several times.Looking up to see that the light in the crack of the door on the second floor is not dark at all, I feel distressed and helpless.

After living most of my life, this is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing:

In the world, there is actually an official groom who sent a car to pick up the bride before dawn, and then sent him back in the middle of the night.
Could it be that his own lady ignored him, and General Hong broke off the engagement in anger?

But looking at the escorting officers, all of them were polite and well-behaved, but Xiaomei's face was cold and she didn't allow those people to enter the house.

Shi Ma sighed and said with emotion: "It would be great if I was retiring. The only one in my heart is Dr. Zhang. I dream that they go far away. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome than retiring the engagement."

"Don't worry, we're here to persuade you together."

The old servant nodded, and brought out hot milk and porridge from the kitchen.The boys also followed to the bedroom door.

"Miss Xiaomei, brother Chen and I are here to see you. Eat and drink first, don't worry Mama Shi."

She sat on the chair by the window indoors for a full ten hours, until her legs became numb.

Hearing Qilan's voice, Xiaomei's heart suddenly felt hot, and she stretched out her hand to unlock the door with tears in her eyes.

He took off the gorgeous red wedding dress he wore at the wedding banquet, and changed into his daily cheongsam.

With a bunch of jeweled decorations removed and only a touch of lipstick on, she is like a quiet plum blossom, blooming in the cold.

"How are Xiaolan and Xiaochen doing recently?" Xiaomei asked with concern.

"You guys are all alive and kicking." Mama Shi put the cups, plates, spoons and napkins on the table one by one, "You are more emaciated than before, so you don't want to eat more."

She drank the milk in one gulp, and ate half a bowl of porridge with a small spoon, Shi Ma's brows relaxed a little.

"Miss is coming back for a short stay this time?"

The old servant originally wanted to say "return to the door", but changed the word after thinking carefully.

Daughters who marry from other people's families can still have their mother's family back.

My little master has a hard life, and has been dependent on others since he was a child.The dean's uncle is busy, but his aunt is fierce.

After finally graduating from nursing school, she moved out and had an independent nest. When she met Dr. Zhang, she liked her, but in order to save her life, she had to marry a general in her forties.

"Mother Shi, it's hard work for you to worry about me," Xiaomei held her hand, "I didn't bring anything, I told the other side to pack up my things before leaving tonight."

"Do you still have to live in the past?" It turned out that he was only going home for a day.

Shi Ma's heart was inexplicably blocked again.There were six large boxes in the storeroom, which had to be polished before loading, so I hurried downstairs.

Xiaomei went to the window and looked around to make sure there was no eavesdropping person hiding nearby, then stared into Qilan's eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Someone sneaked into the hotel and took Mrs. Lin away last night?"

The young man pursed his lips, secretly surprised: Did she see it?
Seeing him bowed his head and said nothing, Xiaomei stretched out her white and tender fingers, and flicked the window glass crisply:

"I tasted the butter cake that was newly served after eight o'clock, and it was exactly the same as the one you made. It's too courageous to dare to come in such a dangerous place. What else did you do next?"

Her cross-examination was methodical, and Qilan couldn't stand it anymore, so she told everything.

"I'm blaming myself," he said with tears streaming down his cheeks, "this time I came to the door with Brother Chen, and I want you to help me find out about Mi'er's mother."

Xiaomei suddenly stood up from the chair and sighed heavily.

"It's still a long way to go against someone surnamed Hong."

"Miss He is a student after all, and she has never seen a big storm. Next time you encounter similar things, please think twice before acting."

"next time?"

Chen Xing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his excited applause:

"I guessed right, Miss Lin also trusts her intuition, her mother must still be alive!"

Xiaomei took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qilan, asking him to wipe away his tears first.

"The subsequent results were not particularly bad. Miss He was very close to the target, and the shooter did not dare to be presumptuous. The shot was not fatal."

"Did the bullet go well?" The boy was still worried.

"It's a pity that Brother Wenxuan resigned." Xiaomei spread her hands helplessly, "My uncle and the foreign doctor can only make do with it. Let's wait for the next news."

"Dinglingling—" the phone rang suddenly.

The eyes of the three moved to the phone on the bedside table in unison.

"This is the first call after dawn. You two, don't make a sound. I'll answer the phone."

There was no other movement in the room for a moment.Xiaomei held her breath, holding the cold receiver with slightly trembling fingers, and pricked up her ears to listen.

"Meier, come to the hospital to see tonight. The patient regained consciousness at noon. Don't need other people to take care of you. Call for you."

"Uncle, so your operation was successful?" There was a gratified smile on the corner of her mouth.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.Dean Dong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Although he himself does not often go to the operating table, the sword is not old.I still have confidence in getting a bullet with the foreign doctor in the courtyard.

However, General Hong had extremely strict requirements for the operation: not only the amount of blood loss must be minimized, but the incision must also be minimized.

The military doctors who were used to seeing gunshot wounds only dared to deal with the surface of the wound, and entrusted them with the most difficult task of taking the bullet.

What's worse, two teams of gunmen were sent to guard the door, scaring everyone in the operating room into fear.

Only Zhang Wenxuan could satisfy him, but he has already been kicked out.
