Chapter 1196: Chapter 1175:
Giving out the landline number Kang Guoan had mentioned on the phone, Min Rui saw Ming Han and Ming Wei approaching and said, "It’s mom’s call. Mom is fine. Do you want to say a few words to her?"
Ming Han and Ming Wei nodded repeatedly, their faces covered with tears.
"Big brother, put it on speaker."
Hearing Ming Wei’s words, Min Rui responded with a "hmm," and pressed the speaker button.
"Vivi, Hanhan, be good, mom is fine. You and your brother stay well at home, mom will be back in a while."
"Mmm, Vivi will be good! Vivi will wait for mom to come home!"
"Mom, I will be good too. Come home soon, I miss you!"
"Mom misses you too! Ruirui, go to god-grandpa and god-grandma’s house. Tell them mom is fine, so they don’t worry and don’t need to send people to look for me anymore."
"Okay!"
"That’s it, mom is going to call your Little Uncle now. Hanging up first."
"Goodbye, mom!"
Min Rui and the two spoke at the same time.
"Goodbye, mom’s darlings!"
At the hospital, Kang Guoan learned from the duty nurse that he had a phone call. He immediately went to the duty room to answer it, only to realize after the call ended that his face was already awash with tears.
Returning to the ward, he saw Luo Yanqing opening her eyes and yanking the IV line off as she got up.
"Stop that!"
Kang Guoan glared and strode forward in three steps to hold down Luo Yanqing’s hand that was pulling the IV line. He gritted his teeth, saying, "Can’t you behave?"
But Luo Yanqing neither looked at him nor spoke, forcefully prying his hand away.
"What on earth do you want? Don’t meet the King Yan before Li Bao returns!" Kang Guoan said with reddened eyes, exasperatedly, "Lie down and take the infusion, there’s news of Li Bao."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanqing immediately stopped her actions. She stared at Kang Guoan, her voice hoarse, her eyes bloodshot, and asked, "Li Bao... where is she? Has she been okay these days?"
Kang Guoan: "Abroad."
Luo Yanqing: "Why is she abroad?"
"That day, while she was returning, she encountered Grandma Yu’s family from abroad. Hearing that Grandma Yu’s only son was in trouble and remembering Grandma’s wishes before her death, Li Bao didn’t have time to inform us and left with Grandma’s family. As for why she’s only contacting us now, Li Bao said they left by boat and just arrived there before calling."
Due to the time difference, it was near 8 p.m. abroad where Kang Li was, while it was currently 7:45 a.m. domestically.
"Are you lying to me?"
In Luo Yanqing’s bloodshot eyes, a hint of disbelief emerged.
"What would I gain by lying to you about something this big?" Kang Guoan sat down on a chair and said, "Don’t you see how much more relaxed I am now? And you, asking you to eat properly and rest well, yet you refused. Within an hour of us going out, you fainted due to exhaustion and hunger, and that’s really something!"
"Without finding Li Bao, how could I sleep or have an appetite?" Luo Yanqing said, then after a moment of silence, she asked Kang Guoan, "Did Li Bao mention when she’s coming home?"
Kang Guoan shook his head: "Before hanging up, Li Bao only said she would call home again."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanqing wanted to remove the IV drip again.
"What are you trying to do now?"
Kang Guoan became anxious.
"Go home."
Luo Yanqing said as she pulled off the IV line, put on her shoes while saying, "I’ll be fine after having something to eat. I’m going home to wait for Li Bao’s call now."
"Li Bao needs to rest too, right? It’s 8 p.m. over there. She’ll probably go to bed soon."
Even with Kang Guoan saying this, he couldn’t stop Luo Yanqing from being discharged.
Abroad.
Watching Kang Li put down the phone, looking at her face full of tears, Jiang Hongfa couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. It was his oversight beforehand that led to making his granddaughter sad.
But he had no choice but to give the command.
"Are you hungry? Let’s have a meal first, and then we’ll go to the study later."
Jiang Hongfa said this, instructing Ah Lan to take Kang Li to wash her hands, and also told Aunt Fu to set up the meal.
About half an hour later.
Kang Li followed Jiang Hongfa into the study. Subsequently, Jiang Hongfa showed her a photo.
"Her name is Yu Wanyun, your biological grandmother. You look almost exactly like her when she was young. You should know I’m not lying to you now, right?"
"I don’t know why you brought me so far away using such means. Since you all chose to abandon your family and move abroad back then, and now you found me, what is it really for? Don’t use familial ties to explain this to me. From my perspective, given your status, you wouldn’t care much about the bloodline of someone like me, an illegitimate child."
