Ling Nuan had noticed something.
No matter how disordered her grandma's memory was, she would always be very satisfied with Huo Linsheng.
This was also based on the fact that Huo Linsheng really cooperated well with her grandma.
He was just like the kind of promising, good - looking and obedient junior that the elders liked.
When Ling Nuan and Huo Linsheng were leaving, grandma waved to them with a smile: "Go back quickly. You young people should have your own lives. Go on a date. Don't always come to the hospital. What's there to see about an old woman like me?"
Sometimes it was just a joke.
Sometimes, Grandma Xun would pull Ling Nuan aside and whisper: "Nuan Nuan, when are you two getting married? Will grandma still get to see your child being born?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
Ling Nuan almost choked.
Grandma's stay in the hospital didn't seem so frustrating after all.
Looking back later, Ling Nuan felt that these days were also filled with warmth.
On the day grandma was discharged from the hospital, Huo Linsheng not only gave Ling Nuan half a day off, but also came in person.
He brought a bouquet of fresh flowers and a wheelchair for grandma.
Maybe even God didn't want anything bad to happen on such a good day. Grandma Xun's mind was especially clear.
"Xiao Huo, you're here." Grandma Xun greeted Huo Linsheng with a smile.
"Grandma." Huo Linsheng stepped forward and handed the flowers in his hand to grandma.
Grandma took the flowers and was extremely happy: "Oh, even an old woman like me can receive flowers."
Huo Linsheng thought Fang Chao's words made sense.
Girls all liked flowers.
Even at grandma's age, it was no exception.
"Fresh flowers match a beauty." Huo Linsheng replied.
Grandma laughed even more happily: "Look at this sweet mouth. It's going to make this old woman blush."
Ling Nuan also laughed beside them. The atmosphere was harmonious.
When they came, Sister Li had almost finished packing up. Xun Yao and Zhao Shuting originally wanted to come and help, but were driven away by Grandma Xun.
Seeing that everything was almost packed, Huo Linsheng took the initiative to help grandma sit in the wheelchair.
"Let me push it." Ling Nuan stepped forward.
Huo Linsheng didn't allow it. After scanning the surroundings, he said: "Sister Li has too many things in her hands. Help her carry a bag."
Sister Li quickly stuffed the lightest bag into Ling Nuan's hand: "Miss Ling, you carry this one."
Ling Nuan looked at the bag that weighed almost nothing and couldn't help but laugh.
But she didn't reject Huo Linsheng's kindness.
When grandma returned home, the air seemed much fresher. She also asked Huo Linsheng to stay for dinner.
It was still early before dinner. Grandma Xun got excited: "Xiao Huo, do you want to see Nuan Nuan's childhood photos?"
Hearing this, Huo Linsheng became a bit interested: "Is that okay?"
Grandma Xun slapped her thigh with a smile: "Why not! Come on, Xiao Li, go to that storage room. It's in the cardboard box in the topmost grid of the third cabinet."
Sister Li answered and immediately went to look for it.
Grandma Xun described the location accurately. Soon, Sister Li came back with a cardboard box.
Most of the things in the box were photo albums and some other old items.
Huo Linsheng casually picked up one.
It was about Ling Nuan's childhood.
On the first page of the photo album was a photo of Ling Nuan not long after she was born, when she was being changed out of her diaper.
Ling Nuan felt her face burn with embarrassment: "Grandma, why do you still have this photo! It's so embarrassing."
Grandma Xun laughed: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Who didn't wear diapers when they were just born?"
Ling Nuan was speechless.
It was true, but it was still so shameful to be seen by her boyfriend!
Grandma Xun couldn't understand her beloved granddaughter's feelings at this moment. She just warmly invited Huo Linsheng to continue looking at the photos.
In the photo album, almost all the photos were of Ling Nuan, recording her from childhood to adulthood. There were also some group photos with other people.
There were photos with grandma and photos with her mother.
When seeing the photo of Ling Nuan's mother, the smile on grandma's face faded a bit, but she still continued to talk to Huo Linsheng: "Nuan Nuan doesn't really look like her mother. She takes after her father."
Hearing this, Huo Linsheng's eyes scanned the photo album and then landed on Ling Nuan.
In the photo album, there were photos of Ling Nuan's mother, and even of Xun Yao and Zhao Shuting, but there was no photo of Ling Nuan's father.
Having a guess in mind, Huo Linsheng didn't dare to ask too much.
Ling Nuan noticed this. Instead, she didn't care much and took the initiative to explain: "My father passed away when I was very young. He didn't like taking photos. My mother said that every time she asked him to take a photo, he would always say next time. No one thought that in the end, not even a single group photo was left."
Hearing this, grandma sighed.
"Nuan Nuan's mother had a hard life. The couple was so good to each other. How could they leave one after another." After grandma's sigh, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "I remember there were a few group photos of your mother and father."
Ling Nuan thought for a while and rummaged through another photo album from the box: "Here it is."
Since Father Ling didn't like taking photos, there weren't many photos left of him. There were no individual photos, only group photos with Ling Nuan's mother.
"Xiao Huo, look. Doesn't Nuan Nuan look a lot like her father?" Grandma Xun asked.
Huo Linsheng nodded: "Indeed, Nuan Nuan looks like her father."
He was still a bit confused. He felt that Father Ling looked familiar, but when he thought carefully, he seemed to have never seen him before. It couldn't be that he just thought Father Ling looked familiar because he had seen Ling Nuan for so long, could it?
He didn't say a word. He just quietly memorized what Father Ling looked like.
Huo Linsheng was a man of action.
Ling Nuan stayed with grandma today. Huo Linsheng left alone.
After he got in the car, he dialed Fang Chao's phone number.
"Check into Ling Nuan's father." Huo Linsheng said.
Fang Chao was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded and began to seriously complete the task assigned by the boss.
At the same time -
"Miss Meng, this is all the information we could find about Ling Nuan." A middle - aged man handed the folder in his hand to Meng Shuluo.
Meng Shuluo took it.
Ling Nuan's resume was clearly investigated, as well as the love triangle between her, Huo Xiao and Shen Shaoqing.
As for her relationship with Huo Linsheng, all that was written on paper was that Ling Nuan was the fiancée publicly acknowledged by Huo Linsheng. As for the details...
"Ling Nuan is very hard to approach. We didn't dare to investigate Huo Linsheng either. This is as far as we could go."
Meng Shuluo flipped through Ling Nuan's information and then looked at her family's.
Xun Yao, Zhao Shuting, Xun Cong, grandma, Ling Nuan's mother, and even Huang Sheng's information was on it, but one person was missing.
"What about Ling Nuan's father?" Meng Shuluo asked.
The man said helplessly: "We only found out that Ling Nuan's father's name was Ling Zhao. He died in a plane crash twenty - four years ago. Apart from that, we really couldn't find out anything about him. After all, it's been so long. It's normal that we couldn't find much."
"Even if it's been a long time, how could there be so little information? Not even a photo?" Meng Shuluo didn't believe it.
The man replied: "Miss Meng, I really did my best. If you don't believe me, you can find someone else to check. There really is only this much information."
"Is it possible that someone deliberately hid his information?" Meng Shuluo asked.
The man was stunned for a moment and replied: "I'm not sure about that. And why would an ordinary person need to hide their information so tightly?"
Meng Shuluo didn't say a word.
What if he wasn't an ordinary person?
