Chapter 492: Chapter 492: An Overwhelming Tumult of Emotions Chapter 492: Chapter 492: An Overwhelming Tumult of Emotions Ning Xueling stood there with her mouth half open, watching as the silhouettes of the brother and sister disappeared into the crowd, her gaze still not returning.
She stood there, dazed, an emotional tempest raging within her. Ever since her divorce from Luo Haotian, not one of the five children had given her a second thought, not a single one had called to ask if she was doing well.
They were truly heartless; it was as if she had raised them in vain. And when she thought about her own life now, it was incredibly frustrating.
She had co here today to accompany a friend to pick soone up, but she never expected to encounter her children here. She had never imagined that her son, who had been in a wheelchair for twenty years, could actually walk now. Why were the siblings here today?
She hadn’t seen Luo Xuyuan coming out of the examination hall. It was only during their conversation just now that she had noticed. Now that the second son could walk, what about the eldest? Was he better too? These people were too much, to not even bother telling her such major news.
After her friend had picked up their person, they noticed Ning Xueling standing there in a daze, “Xueling, what’s wrong?”
Ning Xueling was nudged before she ca back to her senses and quickly disguised her emotions, “Nothing. I just saw soone I know and got lost in thought rembering so things.”
Luo Qiao and her brother didn’t head straight ho; they first got in line to buy a roast duck and then found a payphone to call their fourth brother, “Hello, may I please speak to Luo Siyuan?”
There was a voice on the other end, “Please hold.”
After waiting for a bit, soone picked up the call, “Hello, this is Luo Siyuan, who am I speaking to?”
Luo Qiao said, “Fourth brother, it’s , Qiaoqiao.”
“Qiaoqiao, how did the second brother do on his exam?”
“He should have done well. We’re planning to go climb The Great Wall tomorrow. Do you want to swap shifts with soone and co with us?”
“Sure, I’ll arrange it in a bit. Then after work, I’ll go straight to Grandpa and Grandma’s for dinner. Dad’s on a business trip, and it’s pretty dull eating alone.”
“Great, I’ll talk to Grandma about it, so you co directly after work.”
After hanging up with the fourth brother, Luo Qiao called their third brother Luo Siyan, “Hello, may I please speak to Luo Siyan? I’m his sister.”
“Comrade, could you call back in five minutes? I’m a bit far from him right now.”
Luo Siyan had just walked out of the training field when he heard soone call him, “Luo Siyan, you have a call, it’s from your sister.”
Upon hearing his sister’s call, Luo Siyan hurriedly said to his comrades who were walking with him, “You guys go ahead, I need to take a call.”
Looking at Luo Siyan’s excited face, one comrade joked, “Why is this kid so happy? When has he ever received a call from his sister? I’ve never heard him ntion having a sister before.”
“But, after Chinese New Year, he got several parcels, maybe he’s got a girlfriend now.”
“Co on, let’s go dig so information.”
Luo Siyan waited a while by the phone before it rang, “Hello, Qiaoqiao?”
“Third brother, second brother’s exam is finished. Tomorrow we’re planning to go climb The Great Wall to relax. Can you get the day off? Do you want to co with us?”
“Yeah, I’ll ask for leave in a bit. I’ll take the bus back after dinner.”
“Will there still be buses that late? If not, we could et at the scenic spot; you don’t have to rush.”
“No problem, I can catch the last bus. But it’s going to be late when I get back, so just make sure Grandpa leaves the door unlocked for .”
After hanging up the phone, Luo Siyan, who had just walked to the phone booth, was instantly bombarded by his comrades, “Spill it, are you seeing soone? Confess.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? That’s my sister, my own sister.”
“Luo Siyan, you little rascal, you’ve never ntioned a sister before. Don’t lie to us.”
“Why would I lie to you guys? But this is a long story. I’ll tell you all about it when I have ti. Right now, I need to go eat; I still have to ask for leave.”
“Ask for leave for what? You still say she’s not your girlfriend, but you’re asking for leave just after a call. Platoon Leader Luo, you’ve really had us fooled.”
“Fooled you about what? My second brother just finished the college entrance exam today. My sister called to say they’re going to climb The Great Wall tomorrow. How could I miss such an important occasion?”
