Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Father And Son Meet_1
The day before yesterday, when Qin Sisi came, it was night. She distinctly saw Han Xiutao sleeping here, and although she didn’t specifically look at the children, if the mother was here, the children must be too.
Qin Sisi stared at Ye You in a confused and desperate manner, biting her lip anxiously. The situation wasn’t unfolding as expected, leaving her feeling helpless momentarily.
Jiang Dachuan, following behind Qin Sisi, noticed her anxious expression, not seeming feigned, and thus softened his tone asking, "Are you sure this is the place? Could we have come to the wrong place?"
Qin Sisi shook her head replying, "No, I’m sure it’s here."
Ye You hesitated slightly before saying, "Perhaps the family is out due to some matter, don’t worry, you can ask someone first."
Qin Sisi pondered, who should she ask? The neighbors?
That’s not appropriate. Most of the current neighbors are merely acquaintances, likely unaware of the exact situation.
She got it, the property management office could be consulted.
Qin Sisi thought of a great idea and immediately turned back to Jiang Dachuan, saying, "Follow me."
Upon speaking, she directly walked to the door, opened it, and went downstairs, with Jiang Dachuan following close behind.
Because of her anxiety, Qin Sisi didn’t contemplate much, only realizing after arriving at the property management office that they hadn’t started work yet at this hour.
Qin Sisi was both anxious and hopeless, while Ye You felt pity and softly comforted her.
In the end, Qin Sisi had no choice but to find somewhere to sit in this estate and wait for the property management personnel to start work.
Because of her emotional state, she didn’t feel hungry at all, but under Ye You’s persuasion, she bought two servings of breakfast from outside the estate and ate some with him.
Time seemed to pass exceedingly slowly. Two hours felt as if several days had passed.
Finally, at half-past eight, the property management office opened.
Qin Sisi quickly pushed the door open, squeezing out a smile before speaking to the staff inside, "Hello, I’m here to find a friend, but there’s no one at their home, and unfortunately, I’ve lost their mobile number, could you help me contact them?"
Although the staff member didn’t smile, they maintained a decent attitude, inquiring about the residence of the person Qin Sisi was looking for.
Qin Sisi fluently stated the building number, unit number, and room number.
The staff member’s expression relaxed a bit after searching on the computer, asking, "Are you looking for Jiang Cheng?"
"Yes." Qin Sisi quickly replied, a hint of excitement in her voice.
Perhaps because Qishui Tangtang appeared harmless, the staff member directly gave her Jiang Cheng’s phone number, allowing her to make contact.
Qin Sisi left the property management office with abundant gratitude, taking out her phone, and just as she was about to dial this hard-earned phone number, she paused.
If she protruded abruptly, the other party might get suspicious, so Qin Sisi discussed her approach with Jiang Dachuan, prepared her lines, and only then dialed Jiang Cheng’s number.
"Hello." The call was connected, a gentle but slightly hoarse voice resonated from the other side.
Qin Sisi instantly replied, "Hello, I’m the property management from XX estate. A person claiming to be your friend reported that there was nobody at your residence, so he asked us to contact you."
"A friend? What friend?" Jiang Cheng’s voice resonated once again.
Qin Sisi put the call on speaker and gestured for Jiang Dachuan to speak.
Jiang Dachuan, not expecting to hear the voice before meeting the person, stuttered for a long time before stammering out, "Ah Cheng, I... I’m the neighbor from your mother’s hometown days."
Jiang Cheng was reassured by the familiar dialect and after a pause, he said, "My mother got into a car accident, she’s in the hospital now."
"A car accident? What type of accident? How’s your mother doing? Is she alright? What did the doctor say?" Jiang Dachuan’s heart started to pound, a string of questions spilling from his lips.
There were too many questions, Jiang Cheng fell momentarily silent, overwhelmed, and unsure how to respond.
Qin Sisi opportunistically spoke to Jiang Dachuan, "Uncle, don’t worry, let me do the questioning."
She then asked over the phone, "Can you please tell us which hospital you are at? This man isn’t familiar with the area, I can take him there."
Jiang Cheng gave her the name of the hospital, and Qin Sisi hung up the phone, leading Jiang Dachuan towards the main road, walking a few paces before stopping.
She turned towards Ye You and said, "Give him a Revealing Soul Pill. After all, nobody knows him."
"Mm." Ye You responded, placing a glittering golden Revealing Soul Pill in Qin Sisi’s hand.
Qin Sisi passed the Revealing Soul Pill to Jiang Dachuan while saying, "After you ingest this pill, your body will temporarily become corporeal, allowing you to move like a normal person."
"Thank you, Mage." Jiang Dachuan gratefully chanted, and in his urgency shoved the Revealing Soul Pill into his mouth.
After a few minutes, his large, robust body had materialized, and although his clothes were old and torn, it was really off-putting.
Qin Sisi frowned, reluctantly deciding to take Jiang Dachuan to a clothing store to buy an outfit.
This time they weren’t sneaking around, but visiting openly, so they had to pay attention to appearances.
On seeing his long-lost wife and children, even if they can’t recognize each other, he should leave a comparatively good impression.
With a change of clothes, Jiang Dachuan seemed much livelier.
Satisfied, Qin Sisi grinned, hugged Ye You, and with Jiang Dachuan, hailed a taxi to the hospital Jiang Cheng had mentioned.
They got out of the taxi at the hospital entrance, while Qin Sisi rushed to enter the hospital, Jiang Dachuan paused in his tracks.
"What’s the matter?" Qin Sisi turned around, baffled.
Jiang Dachuan said hesitantly, "Mage, can you lend me some money?"
Qin Sisi was taken aback but quickly noticed Jiang Dachuan’s gaze shifting towards a small supermarket by the road. Through the transparent glass, a variety of merchandise inside could be seen.
She nodded, took out five hundred yuan from her bag, and stuffed it into Jiang Dachuan’s hands.
Jiang Dachuan immediately tried to push it back, exclaiming anxiously, "No, no, I don’t need so much."
"Take it," Qin Sisi insisted, "Things are far more expensive now compared to before."
Jiang Dachuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately kept the money. This was going to be his last opportunity to buy something for his wife.
"Thank you." Jiang Dachuan muttered, turning around to enter the supermarket by the road.
When he came back out, he was holding several boxes and bags.
Qin Sisi offered to help him carry some, but he refused adamantly so she had to give up.
Entering the hospital, Qin Sisi dialed Jiang Cheng’s number again. Following his directions, she finally brought Jiang Dachuan to Han Xiutao’s room.
Jiang Cheng had been waiting outside the room all along. Seeing Jiang Dachuan rushing over with a pile of presents, he felt a sense of warmth. But then he was stunned seeing this man who looked so familiar!
