1709 Chapter 1709 Hopeful or Immediate (113)
After crying bitterly and calming down, the first thing Jing Li did was to continue cutting Jing Yanting's unfinished nails.
His hands were really rough, with thick calluses on the fingertips and palms. Even the nails were thick, hard, and slightly yellow. Every time he cut a finger, Jingli had to use a lot of strength.
But she didn't feel tired at all. Even though the area where her fingers pinched the nail clippers had begun to turn red, she still cut it carefully and carefully.
Just as she was cutting, the big bag of medicine she saw in the inn once again appeared in her mind.
She really wanted to ask, but she still wanted to wait until she finished cutting her father's nails before asking slowly.
But before the nails were cut, Jing Yanting spoke first: "Did you go to Columbia to major in art?"
"No." Jing Li paused, raised her head and looked at him, "Learning the language."
Even though Jing Yanting's face had been expressionless for a long time now, when he heard these words, his expression still visibly paused, "Why did you lose the language?"
Jing Li smiled slightly and said, "Because the employment prospects are broader and there are many career options to choose from, I majored in language. It was also because of this major that I met Stewart. He is my mentor and a well-known writer.
I received a lot of translation work from him when I was still in school. He was very generous and I earned a lot of money."
After hearing this, Jing Yanting just looked at her with compassion in his eyes and said nothing.
Jing Li quickly held his hand and smiled: "Dad, do you know that my brother left behind a child?"
Jing Yanting opened his eyes slightly.
"Her name is Jing Xi. She is a girl. She is very cute and beautiful. She is seven years old this year." Jing Li said, "She lives with her mother in New York now. I will make a video call with her. Can you meet her?"
?”
As she said this, she was about to get her phone, but Jing Yanting stretched out his hand to stop her.
"No, it's late at night in country M at this time, so don't disturb her." Jing Yanting whispered.
"Yes, I'm so excited that I'm dizzy. She must have gone to bed by this time, but summer vacation is coming soon. Then I will ask her mother to take her back to China, and you can see your relatives.
Granddaughter!"
Jing Yanting's lips moved before he said again: "You and Xiaowan...have been living together?"
The "Xiao Wan" he refers to is Gu Wan, who was still his daughter-in-law when he disappeared.
Jing Li didn't elaborate on anything, nodded and said, "I was able to study abroad thanks to my sister-in-law's help. We lived together until I came back."
"Then you and that kid..." Jing Yanting asked again, "How did you meet that kid from the Huo family?"
Jing Li pursed her lips lightly and said, "We were classmates in high school, and we knew each other at that time. He was in the next class... Later, we became good friends for a while, and I went abroad... I thought I would be with him
We will never have contact again. I didn’t expect to meet Stewart again when I went back to China to collect stories..."
"Then...we were together?"
Jing Li nodded lightly, looked at him and said, "I didn't care at first whether he was the eldest young master of the Huo family, but now, I am extremely grateful for his identity as the young master of the Huo family... If
If it weren't for his heavy status, our relationship wouldn't have been reported by the media. If we weren't reported, my father wouldn't see me, wouldn't know I was coming back, and wouldn't call me, right?"
Jing Yanting looked at her quietly, and after a long time, he finally nodded slowly.
"So, it's because I'm with him that I have the opportunity to reunite with my father." Jing Li said, "I'm so grateful, really grateful..."
Jing Yanting reached out his hand and gently touched her head. He was silent for a moment and then said: "The Huo family is a high-class family, I'm afraid it's not that popular..."
Jing Li slowly shook her head and said, "Dad, he is different from other young masters. His parents are also very approachable. You don't have to worry."
"Are they really willing to accept...a daughter-in-law without any family background or background?"
"Dad!" Jing Li called him softly again, "We have just started and we are far from getting there yet. Don't worry about this yet..."
After hearing this, Jing Yanting's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then said, "Call him here, I want to see him."
"Now?" Jing Li said, "But dad, we haven't eaten yet, shall we eat first?"
"Ask him to come over and eat together." Jing Yanting said, suddenly thinking of something, he stood up from the sofa and said, "We should find a more expensive restaurant and go out to eat..."
"Dad." Jing Li quickly stopped him and said, "I just asked him to come over. He won't mind eating takeout, absolutely not."
As she spoke, Jing Li picked up her cell phone and dialed Huo Qiran's number in front of Jing Yanting.
The call was quickly connected, and when Jing Li asked him where he was, Huo Qiran slowly gave an address.
It's actually a coffee shop nearby.
"Why are you there?" Jing Li asked, "Are you busy with something?"
"No." Huo Qiran said, "I think this place is close to you. If anything happens, I can come to you at any time. I am alone and have nothing else to do."
"Then you're not going to the lab today?" Jing Li asked hurriedly, "Are you asking for leave again? The instructor really doesn't want to give you a good look!"
"He won't." Huo Qiran chuckled, and then said, "How are you doing over there? Are you settled?"
"It's settled." Jing Li said, "My dad, he wants to ask you to come over and have lunch with us."
"Okay." Huo Qiran replied almost without thinking, "I'll be there soon. What do you want to eat? Do you want me to bring it over?"
Jing Li thought for a while, then directly reported the name of the restaurant and asked him to pack the food and bring it over.
Jing Yanting sat next to him, watching Jing Li and Huo Qiran talking on the phone, with the same expression on his face.
Jing Li hung up the phone and thought about eating soon. Even though she was extremely worried, she finally swallowed back what she wanted to ask again.
Not long after, Huo Qiran arrived at the small apartment with packed meals.
He has always been a person who doesn't like extravagance and waste, so what he packed was some home-cooked meals, and the quantity was prepared for three people.
Jing Yanting looked at it but didn't say anything. He just looked up at Jing Li and said, "There's no wine. Go down and buy two bottles of beer."
"Uncle, let me go." Huo Qiran quickly stood up.
Jing Yanting just looked at Jing Li and said, "Xiao Li, go ahead."
Jing Li nodded slightly, exchanged glances with Huo Qiran, changed her shoes and went out.
Jing Yanting then looked at Huo Qiran and whispered: "Sit down."
"Thank you, uncle." Huo Qiran responded before sitting down, and then said, "Jing Li, she is really happy today."
