Chapter 171 Blind Date
Chapter 171 Blind Date
After Zhou Niantang arrived at the hospital, the doctor who had been arranged by Uncle Sun examined her. After a thorough examination, it was found that the injury on her forehead was not serious, just a slight concussion.
She asked why she felt so dizzy!
The driver who rear-ended the car kept apologizing, and it was Uncle Sun who handled the matter.
The driver, Uncle Cao, regained consciousness shortly after being sent to the hospital and nothing serious happened.
Zhou Niantang was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about the man on the side of the road. He was so brazen that he wanted to traffic people in broad daylight.
She called Uncle Sun and told him about the incident. She felt that she had to tell the police about it and that there should be surveillance cameras on that stretch of road.
Uncle Sun told her not to worry, he would take care of the matter.
After lying in the hospital for most of the day, Zhou Niantang didn't intend to tell anyone else. Anyway, the doctor said that he could be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow if he felt no discomfort.
But Yun Zhi was not bothered by this matter.
They had originally agreed to have dinner in the evening, but when this happened, she forgot to tell Yun Zhi. It was not until around five o'clock in the afternoon that she remembered and sent a message.
Yun Zhi knew her very well. Usually, when she asked him to have a meal, she rarely refused. He subconsciously knew that something must have happened to her.
After much persuasion, I finally let her know.
However, the person who came with Yunzhi this time was not Luo Ze, but Luo's mother who had not been seen for a long time.
As soon as she saw someone, Luo's mother held her hand, looking distressed: "Oh, poor little thing, I just heard from Xiao Zhi that you were sick a few days ago, how come you are hospitalized again just after you recovered."
"It's okay, Auntie, it's just a little skin broken." Zhou Niantang comforted her.
Luo's mother always loved her. After a while, she took out something that looked like a small round pendant from her bag and gave it to her.
The outer layer of the pendant is glass-like, and inside is yellow talisman paper, on which you can vaguely see scriptures written.
"I prayed for this at the temple when I went back to my hometown last time. This was originally meant for you, but I've been busy at the store lately and haven't given it to you yet."
Zhou Niantang took it in her hand, her eyes felt a little hot, she found that she seemed to be getting more and more sensitive emotionally recently.
She has been without a mother since she was a child, but Aunt Zhang, Ji Shenshen's mother, and Luo Ze's mother have all given her care similar to motherly love.
"Everything you've encountered recently is related to your health, so it's better to wear it close to your skin. Wear it around your neck with a small chain. The weather is still cold now, and the collars on clothes are high, so it won't be noticeable."
Mother Luo was telling her where to wear it, and Zhou Niantang nodded obediently.
Yun Zhi felt sorry for her when she saw how much thinner she had become. "You'd better listen to your aunt. You do look a little unwell recently."
"I know." Zhou Niantang blinked. In fact, her health has been much better since she was a teenager. She thought her recent illness was related to the weather.
As for today, it was definitely an accident.
But what Luo’s mother said is right, so I’d rather believe it.
She carefully placed the amulet in the inner compartment of her bag, thinking that she would find a chain to string it together when she was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
I also took a photo and posted it on the cover of my Moments. I must ensure all-round protection!
Yunzhi and the others stayed with her in the hospital until the evening and then left.
Aunt Zhang and Lolo were both staying by his bedside.
The problem was not serious, and Zhou Niantang was discharged from the hospital after staying there for two days.
She had a simple Band-Aid on her forehead, and since she had lost a lot of weight recently, she looked like a pitiful little thing.
It was only when Liu Xiaoyun went to her store later that she found out that she had actually been in a minor car accident.
"That's not fair. You didn't tell me what happened. I was abroad before, and now I'm back, but you're still hiding things from me."
"It's mostly minor stuff. If it was anything more serious than this, I would have told you a long time ago."
Liu Xiaoyun fiddled with the cat figurine at her front desk. "I won't bother with you. It's my mom. She wants to make an appointment with you to have dinner at my house."
"Have a meal?"
Zhou Niantang had a good relationship with Liu Xiaoyun. She had been to Liu's house several times when she was in high school and had met Liu's mother several times. Although Liu's mother was polite to her, they were not very familiar with each other.
I was a little confused as to why they suddenly asked her to come to my house for dinner.
"I guess my mother wants to introduce someone to you." Liu Xiaoyun quickly resolved her doubts.
Zhou Niantang was shocked. This was the first time someone wanted to introduce her to someone, and it was an elder!
"But I don't really want to talk about it." She lowered her eyes.
"I'm just guessing. A few days ago, a friend of my mother was having afternoon tea with her and she said that her son hasn't found a partner yet. I heard it and made the connection."
"Just forget what I said and treat it as a normal meal. Besides, my mom will only mention it during the meal, so you can just refuse it then."
After Liu Xiaoyun's repeated persuasion and the invitation from her elders, she felt it would not be appropriate to refuse directly. She also had to consider her relationship with Liu Xiaoyun, so she agreed.
If she was young, she would simply not go if she didn't want to go, but now that she has grown up, she knows that adults have more things to consider and cannot be too willful.
However, the time was set for several days later, after all, she still had a wound on her head.
On the day when they had an appointment to go to Liu's house, Zhou Niantang looked at his forehead in the mirror in the morning. The scab had fallen off, leaving only a pink mark.
She seldom wears makeup, except for some formal occasions, otherwise she doesn't like to wear makeup.
When the hair is let down, it can cover the forehead a little, but the wound marks cannot be seen clearly.
The car arrived outside the Liu family's house and just stopped, she saw Liu Xiaoyun standing outside the door.
Seeing her arrive, Liu Xiaoyun walked over quickly.
"My mom is a bit too much. I thought she would just ask if you want to talk or something, but I didn't expect her to actually invite someone to her house today!"
Zhou Niantang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Liu Xiaoyun's complaints.
It was very rude to arrange it without her consent.
Liu Xiaoyun was also in a difficult situation. It was wrong for her mother to do this, but if Zhou Niantang left now, her mother would probably settle the score with her later.
"It's okay, let's go, we're just going to have a meal." Zhou Niantang, who saw everything clearly, took Liu Xiaoyun's hand and walked inside.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she had nothing to be afraid of. If the topic of blind date really came up, she would just refuse.
When the two of them went in, Liu Xiaoyun was still whispering in her ear, telling her to just deal with it casually, and to find an excuse after dinner and leave.
In the living room, two middle-aged women dressed as noble ladies sat together chatting, while a man in a suit and glasses sat on a single sofa, looking down at his phone.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhou Niantang called Aunt Liu and nodded with a smile to the lady next to her.
Mother Liu stood up enthusiastically and took her hand and sat down. "You are finally here. I haven't seen you for several years. Tangtang is getting more and more beautiful."
"No, Auntie is really getting younger and younger."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Niantang did not let go of the lady next to him and looked her up and down.
However, the man next to her hasn't raised his head from his phone since she came in.
Just like the process in many blind date occasions, Mother Liu introduced her to the lady next to her and her son.
"Mrs. Liang, her family makes medical devices. This is her son, Liang Shiying."
Zhou Niantang just nodded to Mrs. Liang and there was no further affectionate behavior.
She was polite, but you could tell she was distant.
Mrs. Liang suddenly became dissatisfied, and the smile on her face disappeared completely.
Her son was indifferent even when Mrs. Liu introduced him. Zhou Niantang probably guessed that this man was probably forced to come here.
After all, which young person would like blind dates nowadays?
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Liu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at the man playing with his cellphone. Her mother saw it and gave her a warning look.
When it was lunchtime, the Liu family's servant came over and said the meal was ready, and Mother Liu invited everyone to the dining room.
At this time, Mrs. Liang's son raised his head. Zhou Niantang glanced at him, then turned around and was pulled to the dining room by Liu Xiaoyun.
