The next afternoon, Lin Gantang went straight to the hospital.
She passed by the main building and was about to make a detour to the inpatient department when she realized that a coupleâs figures were particularly familiar. When they turned into the main building, Lin Gantang saw their faces clearly. It turned out to be Lin Jingqi and Gan Wenyu.
Gan Wenyuâs expression wasnât very good. Her face was tense. Lin Jingqi held her hand and coaxed her in a low voice, as if they were having a conflict.
Are they dating? Lin Gantang recalled that Lin Jingqi and Gan Wenyu had also been together on the day of Tang Shumingâs birthday party.
Lin Gantang had no intention of bothering about the two of them and went to visit Wen Rendong directly.
When she arrived at the ward, Lin Gantang realized that her dad was also there. He was talking non-stop to Wen Rendong, and Wen Rendong was listening to him seriously.
It was strange.
Wen Rendong was the first to see Lin Gantang. He smiled kindly and waved at her. âGantang, youâre here. Come in.â
âUncle Wen.â Lin Gantang went in to greet him. She put down the fruits and turned to look at Mr. Lin. âDad, youâre here too.â
âI came to talk to your Uncle Wen,â Mr. Lin said.
âThe child is so thoughtful. She has to work and is busy, yet she still comes to see me.â Wen Rendong chuckled.
âHer? When I was hospitalized, she stayed with me and said she was worried about me.â Mr. Lin boasted, âI didnât expect her to be so filial. I told her that thereâs nurses and she doesnât need to trouble herself, but she just wouldnât listen.â
Lin Gantang didnât know what to do when she heard that. Heavens, what was going on? Her dad actually praised her.
She was not used to it!
Lin Gantang felt her face heat up as she stood there.
âItâs all because you taught her well. Sheâs a daughter after all; theyâre all considerate,â Wen Rendong responded.
âYes, itâs good to have a daughter. Many people want to have a daughter now.â Mr. Lin smiled. âHeartwarming and sensible. It makes one love them dearly.â âGantang must have been very cute when she was young?â
âYeah, soft like a little angel. Look at her now, she hasnât changed at all from when she was young, haha.â
Lin Gantang was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
I want to leave this place and let you two old fathers continue chatting.
âGantang, donât just stand there. Help peel an apple for your Uncle Wen,â Mr. Lin reminded.
Wen Rendong waved his hand. âThereâs no need. Gantang, just have a seat. You donât have to busy yourself.â
Lin Gantang was so embarrassed that she didnât know what to do with her hands and feet. When she heard her dadâs words, she immediately peeled an apple just to have something to do.
Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction. âLook, daughters are all obedient so I donât have to worry. Gantang has been obedient since she was young. Sheâs not bad after growing up.â
Lin Gantang almost cut off her fingers.
She stole a glance at Mr. Lin. Was this person really her dad?
As expected of someone who had lived decades longer than her. She could not compare to his ability to lie through his teeth! He had clearly despised her a few days ago.
After sitting for a while and chatting to their heartâs content, Mr. Lin left the ward with Lin Gantang.
The two of them walked slowly. Mr. Lin said, âTomorrow is Saturday. Are you coming home for dinner?â
âI plan to go camping with Yanqing on Saturday. Dad, you miss me?â Lin Gantang finally felt less awkward after leaving the ward. âYou always remember to ask me home every Saturday and Sunday.â
âWho misses you? You come home every now and then. Whatâs there to miss?â Mr. Lin snorted.
âOh, really? Iâll reflect on myself,â Lin Gantang said. âIâll go home less often so that you wonât be troubled.â
âIf you donât come back, how can you pester Yanqing to go here and there all day?â Mr. Lin was a tough-talker. âYanqing is not like you. Heâs career-minded and cares about the family. He didnât even need me to call him over to visit me.â
See, the one who complained about her was her biological father. Lin Gantang was relieved..
