“Huh? Is it today?” Bai Ziyan quickly took out his phone and checked the calendar. Sure enough, he saw a note marked on it: 18:30 p.m., appointment with Dr. Han.
Looking at the time again, it was almost 5:30 now.
The hospital was about half an hour's drive from the place where he had made an appointment with Dr. Han. But considering the possibility of traffic jams on the way, it was indeed time for them to set off.
Wen Sining also knew that Bai Ziyan had made an appointment with Dr. Han.
This Dr. Han was the old traditional Chinese doctor who was good at treating brain diseases that Xue Qing was looking for. At first, it was she who helped to determine Dr. Han's specific location. Otherwise, Bai Ziyan might not have been able to make an appointment with Dr. Han by now.
At first, in order not to arouse Bai Ziyan's suspicion, she and Xue Qing had privately discussed and decided to take Bai Ziyan to see Dr. Han on the pretext of treating his old back problem. After the latter gave him a preliminary examination and diagnosis, they had set today as the time for a follow - up check.
“Baibai, it's getting late. You should set off quickly. Don't keep Dr. Han waiting.”
Dr. Han was 68 years old this year. His family ran a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Usually, it was his son or grandson who sat in the clinic, while he himself rarely showed up and generally stayed in the back to give guidance.
It was unacceptable in any case to let an old man wait.
Bai Ziyan was also a very punctual person. Being late was something he couldn't tolerate the most. Hearing this, he had no choice but to wave goodbye to Wen Sining reluctantly.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped. Looking at Lu Luochen with pure eyes, he said, “Brother - in - law Lu, I'll leave Sister Ningning to your care for the time being. I'll come to see you guys next time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the back of his collar by Xue Qing and carried away like a little chick.
Bai Ziyan was very cooperative. Even though he was grabbed by the back of his collar, he still smiled and casually stuffed his hands into Xue Qing's overcoat pocket.
Lu Luochen watched them enter the elevator and then turned around and went back to the ward.
Wen Sining was sitting on the bed, continuing to eat the lean meat congee in the thermos lunch box. Seeing Lu Luochen come back, she subconsciously asked, “Have they left?”
“Hmm, they've left.”
“Phew, that's good.” Wen Sining was just stuffing the last mouthful of congee into her mouth. Hearing this, she patted her chest.
Fortunately, Baibai had an appointment with Dr. Han today. If it weren't for this interruption, she didn't know how long Baibai would have pestered her today.
“Your friend... is very special.” Lu Luochen walked over, put away the thermos lunch box that Wen Sining had just finished using. His eyes suddenly fell on the huge fruit basket on the bedside table, and he couldn't help but say.
“You mean Baibai? He is quite special.”
“Can I know how you two met?”
Wen Sining was stunned for a moment, then smiled and casually tied up her messy hair at the back of her head.
“Sure. Actually, Baibai and I met because of an accident. At that time, Moxin was originally going to approach another star racing driver to be the recommender for one of our products at that time. But for some reason, we couldn't reach an agreement with that star racing driver. Just when I was worrying about it, I met him...”
At that time, Baibai had just turned 16. He entered the racing circle right on the age limit of the junior racing group and had just made a little name for himself in the racing world.
Not long before, Baibai's parents had died in a car accident. So the just - adult Baibai had to face the choice of giving up his dream and looking for a high - paying job to pay off the debts left by his parents.
That day, Baibai was originally going to quit the racing circle, but accidentally saw Wen Sining's dilemma.
Wen Sining still remembered the look in Baibai's eyes when he talked to her that day... full of light.
He said, “Sister, can I be your recommender? Don't worry. Although I'm not very famous now, I guarantee that as long as you give me a chance, I will never let you down. If you don't believe me, give me half a month. There will be a junior rally in City S in half a month. I will also participate. I will win the championship medal and give it to you as a cooperation gift!”
People aged from 16 to 19 could participate in the junior rally. And the star racer that Wen Sining had contacted at that time was just on the verge of aging out of the junior group.
At that time, Wen Sining didn't have a deep impression of Baibai. But she could tell that Baibai really loved racing. In order not to discourage a dreamy teenager, Wen Sining smiled and agreed to Baibai, saying:
“Okay, then you should race well. If you win, I'll let you be my recommender.”
The reason why Wen Sining said so was that she didn't think Baibai would win at all. Because the star racing driver she originally wanted to cooperate with would also participate in this rally, and that star racing driver had won the championship of the rally in City S for two consecutive terms.
So, she said that to Baibai.
At the same time, in order not to hurt the self - esteem of this dream - chasing teenager, Wen Sining suspended the search for a new recommender after agreeing to him.
It was only half a month anyway. She could wait.
She thought at that time that it was just a waste of half a month. However, she didn't expect that Baibai actually won the championship of that rally!
Because there was a former two - time consecutive champion participating in this session, there were a large number of people paying attention to this race. Everyone was watching whether that star racing driver could win the championship for the third consecutive term and then officially enter the adult - group race with a Grand Slam medal.
However, to everyone's surprise, a dark horse suddenly emerged among the racers in this session. He not only successfully won the championship of this race but also broke the record left by the former champion.
Baibai thus became a new star racing driver overnight.
After becoming popular, Baibai didn't forget his agreement with Wen Sining. He really took that championship trophy and found Wen Sining. So Wen Sining successfully got a good deal and started a short - term cooperation with him.
It was this cooperation that successfully connected the two of them, and then their relationship gradually changed from a cooperative one to a friendly one.
After that, Wen Sining never missed any of Baibai's major races.
Lu Luochen sat beside her and quietly listened to Wen Sining's story.
As he listened, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Wen Sining.
Wen Sining was just 20 years old three years ago. According to her growth trajectory, at that time, she was pretending to be a fool in the Wen family while struggling to start a business outside. He could hardly imagine how much hardship Wen Sining had to endure to develop Moxin to its current scale in such a difficult environment.
Looking at Wen Sining, who was still happily recalling the past, he finally couldn't help but hug her into his arms and gently pat her back.
“It's okay. Now no one dares to look down on you anymore.”
