Chapter 855 — Guan Xin's Father
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"As if!" Guan Xin shot her a glare. "I'd sooner die than go on a date with him. Stop guessing — my dad is in Songshan City on business, and he's coming to pick me up and take me home tonight."
"Heh, so that's it!" Li Xiaomei nodded. "Isn't that the legendary major shareholder? The director ought to come out and welcome him, shouldn't he?"
"My dad is just passing through. He's not making a grand inspection tour of the hospital, so why would the director be notified?" Guan Xin was caught between laughter and tears. "All right, I'm off!"
With that, Guan Xin ran toward an Audi A6L parked at the hospital entrance. The car was parked discreetly a short distance from the hospital gate, not inside the grounds, so no one had yet realized it belonged to Guan Xiaopeng, the hospital's shareholder.
"Young Master Ming, Guan Xin is coming over..." Wang Shubin spotted Guan Xin and alerted Kang Jingming.
"Oh? She's not taking the commuter bus?" Kang Jingming was momentarily stunned. His original plan had been to wait until Guan Xin boarded the commuter bus, then have the three of them follow quietly by car; once they confirmed she had reached home, they would call at her door. He hadn't expected Guan Xin to skip the commuter bus. Did she have something else to do today?
"No... hey? Young Master Ming, she's getting into that Audi A6L — it has Songjiang City plates..." Zhu Xiaozhang pointed in the direction Guan Xin had run and cried out in surprise.
"Songjiang City plates? Could Guan Xin be going to meet a lover?" Kang Jingming's expression immediately turned grim, because the driver of a black Audi A6L was almost certainly male, and from the light in the car when Guan Xin opened the door, one could tell the driver was a man.
"I don't think so? That man looks quite old..." Zhu Xiaozhang had sharp eyes and said quickly.
"Could she be someone's mistress?" Zhu Xiaozhang would have done better to keep quiet; his words only darkened Kang Jingming's expression further. "Investigate for me — whose car is this! Argh, I'm furious!"
Kang Jingming felt as though he had suffered a tremendous insult. He had assumed that Guan Xin's rejection of his confession was because she was too pure — pure as a blank sheet of paper, never having been in love, instinctively on her guard! But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all?
Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin had no connections in Songshan City, but back in Donghai City, relying on Kang Jingming, they knew plenty of people. One phone call, and they had the information on the car from a friend in the insurance business.
"Young Master Ming, this car belongs to Mingyang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd...." Zhu Xiaozhang reported the result to Kang Jingming.
"Mingyang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Kang Jingming frowned and repeated it silently to himself.
"I remember now, Young Master Ming — isn't Mingyang Pharmaceutical the company owned by Guan Xin's father?" Wang Shubin had once studied Guan Xin's files in careful detail. Back when Kang Jingming was set on courting her, Wang Shubin had been the one in charge of gathering intelligence, and Kang Jingming had read that intelligence himself, which was why the name had struck him as familiar too.
