Chapter 390: Tan’s Mother Comes to Beijing 8_1
The inn had a phone in the room. After spending nearly an hour on the phone, He Zhilan called He Teng using the inn’s phone. She told him that Tan Heqian’s mother had come to the capital and invited him to join them for lunch.
Despite He Teng’s confusion about why Tan Heqian’s mother would invite him for a meal, he naturally wouldn’t rudely refuse an elder’s invitation.
Worried that He Teng wouldn’t know his way and would find it inconvenient to walk with crutches, Tan Heqian and He Zhilan took a cab to the entrance of Capital University to pick up He Teng. The others went ahead to the pre-booked restaurant to wait.
In the cab, Tan Heqian was elated to finally have some alone time with He Zhilan. He couldn’t wait to ask He Zhilan if she had any impression of his mother.
He Zhilan shook her head helplessly. "You must have moved house at an early age. I really don’t have any impression of your mother. Even after trying to remember, I can only recall vague fragments through the pictures your mother showed me. I don’t have a clear image, let alone strong memories of your family."
"So, you’re saying that if you hadn’t seen my mother today, you wouldn’t have recognized her," Tan Heqian ruffled his hair.
"Unfortunately, yes," He Zhilan patted her head, "I’m really forgetful! I can’t even remember the faces of my own family members."
