The inn had a phone in the room. After spending nearly an hour on the phone, He Zhilan called He Teng using the inn's phone. She told him that Tan Heqian's mother had come to the capital and invited him to join them for lunch.
Despite He Teng's confusion about why Tan Heqian's mother would invite him for a meal, he naturally wouldn't rudely refuse an elder's invitation.
Worried that He Teng wouldn't know his way and would find it inconvenient to walk with crutches, Tan Heqian and He Zhilan took a cab to the entrance of Capital University to pick up He Teng. The others went ahead to the pre-booked restaurant to wait.
In the cab, Tan Heqian was elated to finally have some alone time with He Zhilan. He couldn't wait to ask He Zhilan if she had any impression of his mother.
