On the day of the return to Hua City, Elder Tan sent a message to Lin Jiaojiao, telling her to go back first. He needed to stay, to be there for Rongrong's surgery.
Lin Jiaojiao understood and went back with Tang Su and her husband, Lu Han.
Elder Tan, oddly enough, didn't come to see them off at the airport; the usually clingy man, who had always been like an overgrown boy, seemed much more sensible this time.
However, Lin Jiaojiao felt a sense of loss.
If Lin Menmen hadn't come to her that night to warn her, she would have thought it perfectly reasonable for Elder Tan to do anything for Rongrong at this time.
Yet for some reason, as Lin Jiaojiao was heading back, she had a bad premonition.
She didn't say anything, fearing that Lu Han and Tang Su would laugh at her.
