Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655: Chapter 531: You May Have No Shame, But I Still Do

Lin Liyin, worried about missing her noon surgery, hurriedly pedaled her bike, racing towards the hospital. Upon reaching the entrance, she didn’t pay much attention, locked her bike in the shed, grabbed her bag, and ran.

Zhou Xiaocun had been waiting since early morning, waiting and waiting, but still hadn’t seen the person he was looking for. He thought perhaps the other party wasn’t working over the weekend. Unsettled, he inquired again to ensure there was no mistake and continued to keep watch not far from the doorway.

Finally spotting a woman in a military uniform, he was about to approach her, but she completely ignored him and quickly disappeared from his sight.

However, he wasn’t anxious now. Since she had come, all was fine. He wasn’t afraid of not catching her.

This time, Zhou Xiaocun’s wait was a bit long. It wasn’t until almost the end of the workday that he still hadn’t seen a trace of Lin Liyin. He clutched his stomach that was aching with hunger, afraid to leave in case he missed her again.

It was one o’clock in the afternoon when Lin Liyin finished a minor surgery. After instructing the young nurse on some precautions, she returned to her office, exhausted. She took a chocolate from the drawer and popped it into her mouth.

Squinting her eyes and leaning back for a moment, she contemplated going to her sister-in-law’s house since it was the weekend. With this in mind, she promptly went to the director’s office to ask for leave.

Just as she reached the entrance, while pushing her bike but before mounting it, an old man stopped her. Impatiently, she looked at him.

"I’m Zhou Xiaocun, Zhou Xiaozheng’s older brother. I want to talk to you about something regarding your family, specifically about your mother, Gu Ruyi. Would you be interested in listening?"

Lin Liyin thought she must have misheard. Who did this person say he was? Her brother-in-law’s older brother? So old? It’s not right. It should have been his former older brother.

But no, the key point now was that he mentioned her mother.

Lin Liyin frowned, suspiciously eyeing him, "What do we have to discuss? Does my brother-in-law know you’re here? Should I notify him for you?"

Zhou Xiaocun didn’t mind her gaze, squinting his eyes halfway, "You can tell him if you want, just don’t regret it. I truly want to find your mother, but unfortunately..."

"Stop being mysterious, just say what you have to say."

Zhou Xiaocun glanced around at the entrance, smiling, "Aren’t you worried about being overheard?"

Lin Liyin hesitated for a moment, looked around, and softly said, "Let’s talk up ahead. Just don’t try any tricks, I’m not a little girl to be fooled by you."

Zhou Xiaocun silently followed her to a place not far away, and when she stopped, ready to talk, he looked around, saw no one, and slowly said, "Tell your mother that my father sent me to find her. She should find a way to meet me. I can’t stay in Beijing long. I’m waiting for her reply."

"You’re crazy! Clearly, you’re not well. What does our family have to do with yours? Spare me your tricks. Say more nonsense, and see how I handle you."

Zhou Xiaocun’s face turned sullen, "I don’t have the patience to babble with you. Don’t think you’re all high and mighty. If that old woman Gu Ruyi doesn’t see me, don’t blame me for not giving the Lin family’s face. If something happens, don’t regret it."

Lin Liyin’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed something major was amiss. She fixed her eyes on Zhou Xiaocun and asked, "I can’t believe you don’t know my mother had a stroke. She can’t meet you. You don’t dare go to the Big Courtyard anyway. So, speak up, what exactly do you want? You can talk to me directly."

Zhou Xiaocun looked at her and shook his head, "It’s not that I look down on you. This matter requires you to pass it on to your mother. As for the specifics, you should ask her. I’ll be back tomorrow morning for your answer. I hope you’ll hurry; I don’t have much patience and am anxious to leave."

After he finished, Zhou Xiaocun left first.

Lin Liyin watched him leave quickly, her heart pounding. What exactly did her mother do to make the Old Zhou Family come all this way? Since he was so confident, it seemed like a big deal.
