You Will Meet Someone Better in the Future

Lin Jiao knew why she broke down.

She bent down and leaned into Lan Ying’s arms affectionately. It took her a long time to stop her mother from self-balming.

“Jiaojiao, it’s okay.” Lan Ying stopped crying and patted her back. “You’ll meet someone better in the future.”

“I know.”

She still believed in love.

Just like… believing that the sun would always rise after sunset, even if she was in darkness, she would not reject the light.

“Knock, knock—”

“Sister.” Xue Jing, who had returned from eating ice cream, asked softly, “Can I come in?”

“Sure.” Lin Jiao stood up.

She watched as he pounced on her with his short legs and subconsciously reached out to hug him.

Xue Jing placed a hand on the back of her neck and leaned over to look at the bed. “Mom, does your head still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“So when are we going home?”

“You’ll have to ask the doctor.” Lan Ying pinched his cheek. When he got closer to her, she acutely smelled a sweet fragrance.

She asked, “Jing, did you eat candy again?”

“I didn’t.”

“I can smell it.”

Xue Jing panicked and admitted, “I ate ice cream.” He pointed at the door and said with a smile, “That big brother bought it for me.”

“Which brother?”

“Sister’s colleague.”

Lan Ying did not know anything about Lin Jiao having found a job.

Lin Jiao put down Xue Jing. She stood up and said, “Mom, I’ll go out and talk to him first.”

Lin Jiao took Qu Shao’s phone and walked to the corner. She said to Pei ZHi over the phone, “Uncle, I’m fine.”

“Did your mother wake up?”

“Yes, my brother is with her.”

“That’s good.”

Pei Zhi originally wanted to go in person, but he was afraid that it would seem too deliberate.

He leaned back in his chair. “I heard from Qu Shao that your mother wants to stay in the hospital for observation?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao gradually relaxed when she heard his voice.

“Did you hire a ward assistant?”

“I haven’t had time yet.”

“Then get Qu Shao to help you.” Without waiting for her to speak, Pei Zhi continued, “He doesn’t have much to do at the company anyway. With him helping you, I’ll be at ease.”

Lin Jiao swallowed her words of rejection.

She was silent for a moment before saying with a smile, “Uncle, I don’t know how to thank you.”

“Just treat me to a meal.”

She had yet to treat him to a meal that she promised last time. “Then come to my house for dinner tomorrow night?”

“You cook?”

“That’s right. My cooking is not bad.”

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. “Alright.” He casually knocked on the back of his phone. “Go ahead and tell me when you get home.”

Lin Jiao agreed and went back to the ward.

She told Qu Shao about what Pei Zhi said and asked him for his bank account. “I’ll transfer the money to you.”

“Miss Lin, I used the company funds.”

Qu Shao was not lying.

He put the phone back in his pocket. “I’ll give you the bill after your mother is discharged. Just transfer it to the boss.”

Lin Jiao did not insist. “Alright, thank you.”
