Chapter 815: Chapter 691: Liking You Since the First Glance (Part 32)
Even though reluctant, the next day came quickly. Lai Wei got up and saw Jian Dan already packed and sitting in the living room, her brows slightly furrowed, "Jian Dan, didn’t you sleep last night?"
Jian Dan smiled, "I did sleep."
"Then you..." Her words trailed off because she saw Jian Dan’s eyes were red beyond recognition.
Not at all like someone who had slept, she sighed and walked over, "No matter what, you can’t do this to yourself.
This way, your body will collapse. You’re originally a delicate girl, why think so much?"
Jian Dan smiled but said nothing.
After a moment, she spoke, "Weiwei, can you check if Lady Hai Lan is awake? We need to check out today. After visiting my father’s grave, we’re leaving."
"Okay, I’ll go check."
Lai Wei opened the room door and went out, seeing Hai Lan with a face mask on, holding a phone, seemingly about to call the hotel for room service.
Seeing Lai Wei, she smiled slightly, "You all are up. I was just about to order room service and then call you up, didn’t expect you all to act so quickly."
Lai Wei smiled, "Jian Dan also asked me to see if you were up. We need to check out today, so after breakfast, will Lady Hai Lan be going to the hotel or waiting for your nephew to pick you up?"
Hai Lan paused, "We’ve become friends, so where are you headed?"
Lai Wei patiently explained, "Jian Dan came with me mainly to pay respects to her father. After the memorial, we’re planning to return home."
"You’re going back to the Imperial Capital?" Hai Lan asked.
"Yes." Lai Wei nodded, "It’s probably a little past three in the afternoon for the flight. We’ve already booked the tickets in advance."
"Then I’ll go with you to pay respects to Jian Dan’s father. In case we run into that person from yesterday, I can help fend them off. Although I can’t get physical, I can help with words."
Lai Wei: "..."
For a while, she didn’t know how to refuse Hai Lan. Most importantly, she didn’t know if Jian Dan would agree to Hai Lan coming along. Lai Wei was silent for a moment, then said, "Lady Hai Lan, I don’t know if Jian Dan would agree to you joining us in paying respects to her father. I’ll go ask her first."
"Okay, go ask quickly."
"Alright."
Lai Wei returned to the room, and Jian Dan came out after freshening up, "What’s up, Weiwei?"
"Lady Hai Lan said she wants to join you in paying respects to your father. I don’t know if you’re willing, she asked me to ask you."
Jian Dan paused, unsure of what to say. She wasn’t familiar with Hai Lan, and even paying respects to her father had nothing to do with Hai Lan. Jian Dan wasn’t sure of Hai Lan’s intentions.
But since it was a kind gesture, there was no need to refuse, otherwise it would seem petty of her. She resumed toweling her hair dry, "Then let’s invite Lady Hai Lan along."
"Jian Dan..."
Lai Wei could tell Jian Dan wasn’t refusing because she wanted to, but out of politeness, she couldn’t say no, "How about I tell her it’s not very convenient?"
"No need, let her come along if she wants. It’s just a memorial, no big deal."
At her father’s grave, she didn’t want any unnecessary trouble and hoped the Jian Family would behave, knowing there were outsiders present.
...
Hai Lan, after getting Jian Dan’s approval, instructed Hai En to wait for her at the cemetery. She wanted to go with Jian Dan to pay respects to her father. Hai En was furious, "Auntie, I beg you, please don’t cause more trouble, okay?"
Lady Hai Lan was very angry, "What do you mean stop causing trouble for you? What trouble have I caused you?"
Hai En couldn’t explain over the phone for a while, "Just wait, I’ll come pick you up. Don’t go to the cemetery with them. Do you have any awareness? They were just being polite by not refusing you, do you think they really want you there?
Auntie, you’re here to find someone, do you remember why you’re here?"
Hai Lan, quite angry, yelled at Hai En to come or not, and hung up the phone with a snap.
On the other end, Hai En was furious, his face ashen. He didn’t know how to explain to Jian Dan, nor how to bring his aunt back, so he had to call Hai Ling to vent, "Sis, next time, even if you give me ten million, I won’t go out with Auntie. She actually..."
After briefly explaining the situation, Hai Ling frowned, "What is Auntie doing?"
Hai En brushed his hair aside, "Who knows what she’s up to? She’s always been like this, never caring about others’ feelings. I’m going crazy."
Hai Ling, "I understand, this time it’s been hard on you. Next time, I’ll have someone else accompany Auntie."
