188 Caught off guard

In the end, Lin Li didn’t take father Lin to the hospital, because before calling her daughter, father Lin and mother Lin had already gone to the hospital. Because the doctor in charge of father Lin’s operation last time was off the weekend, they had to wait until next Tuesday for his specialist consultation.

Lin Li drove father Lin and mother Lin Home. When Lin Li took out the keys from her pocket and opened the door, then skillfully took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, these series of actions made father Lin and mother Lin, who had followed her in, exchange a puzzled look.

After entering the house, Lin Li asked father Lin and mother Lin to sit down on the sofa in the living room. She poured two glasses of water from the kitchen for them, but she was still frowning because she was worried about her father’s illness.

Mother Lin and father Lin took the water and turned around to look at the entire house. The couple exchanged a look and were about to ask their daughter when Lin Li said, ” “Dad, mom, please take a seat. I’ll go in and make a call.” After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.

Father Lin and mother Lin were left sitting in the huge living room. For a moment, they couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Elder Lin, what do you think is going on with this house?” Mother Lin nudged father Lin, who was sitting beside her, but her eyes kept darting around the house.

Father Lin shook his head. He was also at a loss. Let’s not talk about the house. There was also that car. Where did Lin Li get such a good car and house? right, right, there was also the child. What was up with that child? why didn’t he hear her mention it at all when he was on the phone with her?

The two of them sat there in silence for a while. Mother Lin suddenly thought of something and cried out, ” Aiya!

Father Zhou looked at him, frowned, and said, ” “What are you doing? why are you so surprised?”

Mother Lin looked at father Lin and said, ” “Say, say, do you think Xiaoli is with Chengxiang again?” Other than getting back together with Chengxiang, which was why she had this house and car, she really couldn’t think of anything else!

“That’s impossible. I know my daughter very well. Once you’ve let go of something, you’ll never turn back. Moreover, that Chengxiang kid hurt our Xiaoli so deeply. Even if Xiaoli could forgive him, I wouldn’t agree!” Father Lin said with determination.

“Then, then what do you think is going on with this house!” Mother Lin asked him.

Father Lin looked at the decorations in the room and didn’t say anything for a long time.

In the guest room on the other side, Lin Li was worried about her father’s illness, so even though she knew that the specialist consultation wouldn’t be until next Tuesday, she still wanted to arrange for her father to do a comprehensive examination as soon as possible. If the cancer cells really relapsed and spread, it would be easier for him to be treated as soon as possible.

As she thought about this, Lin Li took out her phone and called Anran. She thought about the ringtone for a long time before Anran picked up. Anran’s slightly lazy and sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone. She seemed to still be sleepy. Hello ... she said.

If it were any other time, Lin Li would hang up the phone and not disturb her, because she knew that pregnant people were always sleepy. But today, she was really in a hurry and couldn’t care too much. She directly said, ” an Zi, wake up. Do me a favor. It’s urgent!

On the other end of the phone, Anran seemed to hear the urgency in Lin Li’s tone, and her originally dazed mind suddenly became much clearer. She asked over the phone, ” “What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

Zian, can you get su Yicheng to contact the doctor li who operated on my father last time? ” Su Yicheng was the one who had been busy with the last operation. Because of su Yicheng, the hospital had used almost all of its best medical resources, and even the director had been alerted. Several rounds of ward rounds had been personally visited by the director to ask about the situation. She knew that all of this had to do with su Yicheng’s identity, and if she had su Yicheng’s help this time, perhaps the arrangements for examinations and other things would progress much faster.

“Lin Li, what happened? Is it father Lin?” Anran asked worriedly.

Lin Li was silent. After a while, she nodded. dad has been coughing badly recently. The symptoms are similar to before, so I’m worried ... Lin Li couldn’t say it out loud. It wasn’t a situation she wanted to face.

On the other end of the phone, Anran was also silent. After a while, she said, ” I’ll call su Yicheng right now!

Hearing this, Lin Li nodded and said to the phone, ” “Thank you, an Zi.”

“What are you saying?” Anran said unhappily on the other end of the phone, but she was clearly a little worried about Lin Li. She asked worriedly, ” “Lin Li, are you alright?”

Lin Li raised her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She tried her best to force a smile and said while holding her phone, ” “I’m fine. What could be wrong with me?”

Knowing that she was stubborn, Anran didn’t ask any more questions. She only said that she would immediately contact Su Yicheng and ask him to contact Dr. Li, then she hung up the phone.

Staying in the room, Lin Li calmed down her emotions. Just as she reached out to open the door and go out, she suddenly thought of another problem. How was she going to explain the house, the car, and Xiao bin to her parents later?

After staying in the room for a while, Lin Li had already thought of a set of excuses. If her parents asked later, she would say that she was Xiao bin’s Tuition Teacher. Because she usually had to help take care of the child, she was now living in his house. As for the car, she was also borrowing it for a while. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Lin Li knew that although this explanation was too shoddy and crude, her parents had come over without her being prepared at all. She was really caught off guard, not to mention that she had prepared a perfect excuse in advance. For now, she could only deceive them for the time being. Later, if Anran contacted doctor li, they would be busy with her father’s examination and would not have the extra energy to explore these things.

As she thought about it, Lin Li took out her phone again. The key to arranging such a set of rhetoric was still Zhou Han’s cooperation, so she had to inform Zhou han in advance now, so that she wouldn’t let it slip when the time came.

The phone was picked up quickly. She didn’t know if he was in the office right now, but the surrounding environment was very quiet. However, Lin Li couldn’t care about where he was right now and directly said, ” Zhou han, are you busy now? can you give me a few minutes? ”

“What is it?” Zhou Han’s slightly low voice came from the other end of the phone. The question was very simple, which was really his style.

it’s like this. My parents came over from home today. They’re at our house now. I was just trying to explain, ” Lin Li explained as she thought about how to explain the matter clearly in the shortest time possible. However, she was interrupted by Zhou han halfway through her words.

“I’ve seen uncle and Auntie,” Zhou Han’s calm voice came from the other side of the phone. His tone was so calm that it was as if he had just eaten. It was so natural that it was a little unbelievable.

However, Lin Li was so shocked by his calm words that she almost jumped up. She shouted in a sharp voice, ” “What did you just say?” Did she hear it wrong? Why did she feel like she had heard him say that he had seen his parents? But wasn’t he in the office? How could they see it!

“I just got home, you can come out.” After Zhou han finished speaking calmly, he didn’t care about Lin Li’s reaction and directly hung up the phone.

Lin Li stared at her phone for a long time before she reacted. She immediately opened the door and rushed out. When she ran to the living room, she saw Zhou han standing there with a briefcase. Xiao bin was standing beside him. His parents, who were originally sitting, were also standing and looking at him in a daze. Their expressions were full of confusion.

As if he heard the commotion, Zhou han turned his head and looked over. His parents and Xiao bin also looked over.

The few of them looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

This strange scene continued for a while before Zhou han regained his senses first. The expression on his face was calm and a little cold as usual, without the slightest hint of panic or helplessness.

He looked at Lin Li and slowly said, ” Lin Li, come here. Zhou han said as he placed his briefcase on the low table in front of him.

His words seemed to have brought everyone back to their senses. Father Lin and mother Lin turned to look at the strange man in front of them, then at their daughter, frowning in confusion.

“Xiaoli, w-what’s going on?” Mother Lin asked in confusion, ” who is this man? And this child ...”

Lin Li only felt a little troubled. Everything was completely out of her expectations. Her parents had come unprepared, and even Zhou Han’s sudden return was completely out of her expectations. With all these messy things added together, she really didn’t know what to do!

Lin Li walked towards the living room and stammered, ” dad, mom, actually, actually ... but after stammering for a long time, she still couldn’t come up with a reason. She looked at Zhou han helplessly for help, only to see Zhou Han’s brows raised slightly. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. That expression was completely like he was watching a show!

Lin Li gritted her teeth and thought about how she should say it as she had just thought in the room. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again. She had already made up her mind. Looking at her parents, she said firmly, ” “Dad, mom, it’s actually like this, I’m actually Hanhan ...”

Lin Li was about to explain when the doorbell rang.

“Ding-dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-dongle”

As soon as the doorbell rang, everyone in the room turned to look at the door.

Zhou han looked in the direction of the door and frowned slightly. However, he just stood there without any intention of opening the door.

Lin Li had been living here for more than 20 days and almost a month, but she had never encountered a situation where someone rang the doorbell. There wasn’t even a courier. This was because basically, any courier would be sent directly to the security room, and the security room would first confirm whether they were at home before considering whether to send the courier or not. However, such a situation had basically never occurred before because the letters or courier for Zhou han were basically all sent directly to the office. So when someone suddenly came to ring the doorbell, Lin Li couldn’t figure out who it was at all. She only turned her head subconsciously to look at Zhou han because this was his home. If someone came to look for him, it could only be him.

ding dong! Ding dong! no one opened the door. The doorbell continued to ring.

Mr. And Mrs. Lin came back to their senses and looked at Lin Li in confusion before turning to look at Zhou han. Mrs. Lin said in confusion, ” aren’t you going to open the door? ”

“You’re not looking for me.” Lin Li turned her head and looked at Zhou han.

Zhou Han’s brows furrowed even more, but he didn’t move.

The doorbell rang for a while more before it finally stopped under everyone’s gaze. Perhaps the people outside thought that no one was home and left.

After returning to her calm state, Lin Li wanted to continue explaining the topic that she hadn’t finished explaining. She laughed dryly as she looked at her parents and said, ” ” Just now, just now, he was probably here to sell insurance. He was especially annoying. Let me explain to you. ” As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Jiabin, who was standing next to Zhou han, over and touched his head. She looked up and was about to explain to her parents that this little guy was her student and had just returned from the United States. He wasn’t good at Mandarin, so she would come over and ask him to learn Mandarin when she had spare time after work and on the weekends. However, just as he had prepared his explanation in his mind, he heard the door open from the outside with a bang.

Someone at the door muttered, ” “Why aren’t you home? isn’t it the weekend? did they take Xiao bin out to play?”

Hearing this, the group of people in the room all looked towards the door. When they saw who it was, Lin Li couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She sighed in her heart. How, how could she explain this clearly?

On the other hand, Zhou han, who was standing at the side, glanced at Lin Li’s reaction from the corner of his eye. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth became obvious. From the side of his face, he looked very beautiful.

And the person who opened the door and came in was no one else, much less the insurance advertisement that Lin Li mentioned. The person who came in was her legal mother-in-law, Zhou Han’s mother!

Mother Zhou seemed to feel the gazes directed at her. She closed the door, holding the old Duck Soup that she had made for the whole day and night, as well as the toy car that she had prepared for her grandson.

He slowly raised his head and saw the person standing in the living room. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, ” they’re all here. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door. I thought you guys went out with your children this weekend. As she spoke, she changed her shoes and carried her things towards the living room.

Mr. And Mrs. Lin didn’t understand what was going on at all and turned to look at Lin Li in unison.

On the other side, Zhou han had already stepped forward to take the things from his mother’s hands and said, ” “Mom, why did you come over today?”

Mother Zhou rolled her eyes at her son and said, ” I miss my grandson. Can’t I come over to see him? ” As she spoke, she complained, ” why didn’t you and Xiao Li bring the child home for your father and I to see? I missed the child very much. Since you guys didn’t come, I could only come here myself. It’s my precious grandson’s fault.

As mother Zhou spoke, she smiled and waved at the little guy in front of Lin Li. Then, she looked up at Lin Li, frowned, and said, ” “Xiao Li, did you lose weight again?”

Lin Li glanced at her parents from the corner of her eyes, smiled dryly, and shook her head at mother Zhou. She only said, ” “No, no,”

Mother Zhou didn’t listen to her. She just turned her head and scolded Zhou han, ” how do you take care of others? you’ve taken care of your own wife like this!

Zhou han glanced at Lin Li and reached out to touch his nose in embarrassment.

“Zhou han, you have to know that Xiao Li’s house is far away and her parents aren’t around. If you don’t dote on her and take care of her, how can you face your in-laws ‘parents who handed their precious daughter to you? And Yingluo. Mother Zhou wanted to continue scolding her son for not knowing how to take care of others and dote on his wife, but she was interrupted by father Lin, who had finally caught the main point.

“Wait, wait a minute, what in-laws, what wife?” Father Lin interrupted mother Zhou’s unfinished words with a puzzled look on his face. Then, he turned to look at Lin Li with a puzzled look. His face was a little serious as he said, ” Lin Li, what the hell is going on? you better explain it to me!

Mother Zhou then noticed father Lin and mother Lin who were standing at the side. She also turned to look at Zhou han in confusion and asked, ” “Zhou han, who are these two?”

ahem, ahem, ahem. Zhou han touched his nose and coughed lightly. He glanced at Lin Li, who was standing at the side, and said, ” “Um, mom, these two are Lin Li’s parents.”

Mother Zhou was stunned and didn’t react for a while.

“Lin Li, what’s going on?!” Father Lin glared at Lin Li. No matter how muddleheaded he was, he still understood what she meant. What wife? what in-laws? this girl had actually married herself behind his and her mother’s back. Moreover, it looked like she was married to a man with a six or seven-year-old child!

If an idiom could be used to describe Lin Li’s current mood, it would be that she wanted to cry but had no tears. If one word could be used to describe her current mood, it would be that she wanted to die! Lin Li now felt that she really couldn’t explain herself!

Just as Lin Li was about to cry and die, mother Zhou also recovered from her shock. She smiled and pulled mother Lin’s hand, who was still in a daze, and said with a smile, ” in-law’s mother, we’re finally able to meet you and your in-law’s father. Zhou Han’s father and I have been looking for an opportunity to meet you, but Lin Li said that you were in your hometown. We should have gone over, but our old Zhou has been too busy at work recently and can’t leave. We thought that after old Zhou is done with his work next month, we would let the young couple bring us to visit you. We didn’t expect you to have already come. This is really great, really great.

Mother Zhou’s words were very sincere, so sincere that mother Lin didn’t know how to react for a moment. She could only turn her head innocently to look at her husband, and then at her daughter. She was speechless for a while.

All of these things happened too suddenly. Lin Li really couldn’t react in time and things had turned out like this. She wasn’t mentally prepared at all. She didn’t even know what to do now, let alone how to explain things clearly. She could only turn her head helplessly and look at Zhou han.

Zhou han looked at her pitiful look and tried to hold back his smile. He went forward and hugged his mother’s shoulders to separate her hand from mother Lin’s. He smiled and said to her, ” “Mom, uncle and aunty just came over. They haven’t had time to sit down yet.”

Hearing this, mother Zhou quickly greeted father Lin and mother Lin and said, ” “In-law dad, in-law mom, come sit down, come sit down. It’s tiring to come all the way here by car.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li could only smile dryly as she looked at her parents and followed mother Zhou’s words. “Mom, dad, let’s sit down.” Now that things had developed to this point, it was probably impossible to explain it clearly.

Father Lin glanced at her and sat down again. Mother Lin saw that father Lin had sat down and naturally sat down as well.

Looking at father Lin and mother Lin, and then at Lin Li, who was standing beside them, mother Zhou said apologetically, ” in-law dad, in-law mom, Zhou Han’s dad and I have always wanted to have a meal with you guys. Zhou han and Lin Li only got married and they didn’t even hold a wedding ceremony. No matter what, it’s our family’s fault, so ran ran.

Before mother Zhou could finish, father Lin interrupted her and said in a heavy tone, ” “What in-laws? what marriage certificate? what wedding? what’s going on?” What wedding? what in-laws? how could he not know about his daughter’s wedding? Someone suddenly appeared and said that he was her in-law, what was this!

Upon hearing this, mother Zhou was also stunned. She looked at father Lin and mother Lin in a daze, then turned to look at Zhou han who was standing beside her. She asked in confusion, ” “Ah han, this, what’s going on? Did you misunderstand me?”

“Don’t call me that. I’m not your in-law!” The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He turned to glare at his daughter and said, ” “Lin Li, tell me clearly, what wedding! When did you get married?” She pointed at mother Zhou and said, ” also, why did this person call us in-laws? why didn’t I know that I had in-laws? why didn’t I know that my daughter was married! The more he spoke, the angrier father Lin got. He started coughing. cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough.

Seeing him cough, mother Lin also became anxious. She quickly reached out to Pat his back to let him catch his breath and said, ” Aiya, elder Lin, don’t be so excited, don’t be so excited!

Lin Li was also flustered. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. dad, don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious. I’ll explain, I’ll explain it to you ... if her father fell sick from being anxious, she would really be guilty of a thousand deaths!

“Ah han, this, what exactly is going on!” Mother Zhou was also a little flustered. Listening to Lin Li’s father, why did it seem like he didn’t know about his daughter’s marriage at all!

Zhou han turned to Xiao bin, who was standing beside him, and said, ” “You go back to your room first.”

The little guy looked at him and nodded. When he turned around to leave, he looked at Lin Li again.

After Xiao bin entered the room, father Lin finally stopped coughing after drinking a few sips of water. However, he was still panting heavily, and mother Lin kept caressing him.

Upon seeing this, mother Zhou sat back on the sofa. After hearing father Lin’s words, she had roughly guessed it in her heart. When she sat back on the sofa, the expression on mother Zhou’s face became a little serious. She looked at Zhou han and asked, ” Zhou han, tell me. What’s going on? ” Her tone and demeanor had an indescribable sense of authority. Of course, this was due to the fact that she had accompanied father Zhou to various occasions for a long time.

Upon hearing that, father Lin and mother Lin looked at Zhou han at the same time. They were also waiting for an explanation.

Zhou han looked at Lin Li and finally touched his nose, coughed, and said, ” that, that I haven’t had time to inform uncle and uncle about my marriage with Lin Li, so uncle and Auntie don’t know about our marriage yet.

Upon hearing this, mother Zhou reached out and patted the armrest of the sofa, saying sternly, ” “Nonsense! You guys are simply making a scene!”
