Chapter 813: Could Lu Jijun Also Be the One Who Sent the Telegram to Ye Linlang Back Then?
Let her think about it.
“A cla.s.smate of mine once came and visited me at the hospital… He asked if a patient named “Lang something” was admitted into our hospital. I checked the hospital records, but there was no such person.”
“Lang something”?
Those words lifted Xie Xuning’s spirits, who was mentally exhausted.
“Ye Linlang?” He tried mentioning the name.
However, Jiao Hongmei felt no sense of familiarity when she heard the name.
“I’m not too sure if it’s this name.”
Xie Xuning persistently asked, “Then why did you remember about this incident?”
Jiao Hongmei might have thought that she stood for too long. She took a deep puff at her cigarette and nonchalantly said, “That’s because the person who asked me that was my cla.s.smate. Back then, there was a female cla.s.smate who stayed in the same dormitory as me. She and I both liked that guy. We promised to compete with each other fairly, but she slept with him behind my back. What’s more, they even had a child. I was pretty happy when that guy came and asked me that question at Friends.h.i.+p Hospital…”
That was all in the past. That night, Xie Xuning’s appearance seemed to have reminded Jiao Hongmei of what happened back then.
For some reason, Jiao Hongmei became extremely talkative.
“At the beginning of the year, I met her again. Since many years have pa.s.sed after that incident and we were cla.s.smates, I should try my best to help. Moreover, I was already a grown-up. I shouldn’t be so obsessed with things that happened when we were young. That woman said that her mother was in the ICU pitifully and that she wanted to take a look at her, so I opened the door and let her in. I didn’t realize that I’d lose both my job and my husband after that. Fortunately, that cla.s.smate of mine was conscientious. He offered me a job opportunity in Shenhai City after he knew that I lost my job…”
Xie Xuning was a little confused after listening to Jiao Hongmei’s story.
“What’s your cla.s.smate’s name?”
Jiao Hongmei thought that Xie Xuning was looking for Lu Jijun. She said, “There’s no use even if you know his name. He’s already dead and had his funeral some time ago.”
Upon hearing Jiao Hongmei’s response, Xie Xuning suddenly remembered a name. However, he was not sure whether his instincts were correct.
“What’s his name?”
Jiao Hongmei blurted out, “Lu Jijun.”
It was him: Lu Jijun.
For a moment, Xie Xuning wasn’t sure how to react to what he just heard. Was it Lu Jin again…?
What happened back then?
Why did traces of Lu Jijun exist in most of the incidents related to Ye Linlang?
Could Lu Jijun also be the one who sent the telegram to Ye Linlang back then?
Jiao Hongmei took a deep puff at her cigarette again.
“That incident cost me both my job and my husband, but Lu Jijun offered me a job in Shenhai city after he knew that I lost my job. Although I can no longer work as a nurse, I’m earning more than before now…”
Xie Xuning frowned, “Try thinking about it again. Did anything aside from the incident with Lu Jijun happen back then?”
Jiao Hongmei shook her head, “I really can’t remember anything else.”
“This is my phone number. If there’s any other noteworthy thing that you can think about, please give me a call!”
Jiao Hongmei took the paper with Xie Xuning’s phone number written on it and placed it on the table.
“Okay. I’ll give you a call if I think of something.”
