Chapter 1289: Ridiculed by All
All the unresolved mysteries were unraveled, and Fan Xinglan felt as if he could see the clear skies after parting the clouds; he sat there for a long while without reacting.
Recalling his own reaction of scrambling away after seeing her again just now, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
He felt as if he’d lost all his dignity today.
Beside him, Fu Lifei came over and patted his shoulder, shaking his head and sighing, advising, "Little Fanfan, as your brother, I have to remind you, you should go to the hospital to get checked out, cerebral palsy isn’t something to be delayed."
"Get lost!"
Fu Lifei burst into merciless laughter: "Hahahaha!"
Finally, Yun Qiluo felt hungry, so she decided to stay and have steak with Jiang Lihua.
As for Fan Xinglan, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone, he quickly returned to the room with Fu Lifei.
The next day, everyone slept late due to a restless night, and Yun Qiluo had classes in the afternoon, so she had no obligations in the morning, thus slept in.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Lihua was there for breakfast, joining them in the dining area.
By the time Fan Xinglan and Yun Qiluo came downstairs, Fu Lifei and the others were already gathered around her at the table, talking.
Upon seeing Fan Xinglan approach, the group erupted in laughter.
"Little Fanfan, so this is the female ghost you were talking about?"
"Sister Jiang is so beautiful; how did you mistake her for a ghost? Hahaha!"
Even Ji Ruofeng wanted to tease him.
After all, seeing Fan Xinglan so frightened at the time convinced him there was a ghost, who’d have thought it was all an illusion, and that the ghost was actually their Little Sister-in-law’s friend.
What kind of eyesight does Fan Xinglan have to mistake a living person for a ghost multiple times?
Fan Xinglan, having hardly slept last night, woke up to such ridicule, instantly feeling withdrawn.
Seeing Jiang Lihua sitting there, elegant and serene, made him feel even more embarrassed.
The usual gentlemanly demeanor was gone, replaced by polite humbleness as he greeted, "Hello, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Lihua smiled slightly, "You can call me Sister, just like the others; I’m probably a little older than you all."
She’s four years older than Yun Qiluo, same age as Yan Yan, already twenty-four this year, while Fan Xinglan is only twenty-three.
If Fan Xinglan can call Yan Yan Brother, then calling her Sister wouldn’t be amiss.
Looking at her smile, Fan Xinglan felt dazzled, his ears reddening.
He promptly called her Sister, remaining humbly polite throughout breakfast.
Yun Qiluo couldn’t help but cover her mouth, sneaking several laughs at him.
In the afternoon, Yun Qiluo and Song Shijia went to school for classes, and the group was preparing to leave.
Yet Fan Xinglan seemed somewhat reluctant, asking Yun Qiluo before leaving, "Is she in the medical room every day?"
"Mm, mostly she is, except when she visits the kids."
Only today did Fan Xinglan learn that many kids from the lab are managed by Yan Yan’s people and Shi Yunshen, whom he met last time, with Jiang Lihua responsible for their health.
He couldn’t help but feel admiration: "She’s really amazing."
And very kind, saving an entire lab’s worth of children, including their Little Sister-in-law; her initial encounter with Brother Yan must have been thanks to her help?
Yun Qiluo proudly answered, "Of course, Hua Hua is the best. She’s been great at this since she was a kid."
