Chapter 83 The Tenderness of the Girl Next Door

Lin Lang's gaze fell on the kind Aunt Qiao Yun, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Qiaoyun was no longer as healthy as she used to be, and she looked haggard.

Zhang Qiaoyun's face used to be round and kind, but now it is so thin that it is almost skin and bones. Her skin has lost its former luster and looks dry and dull.

Those eyes that were once full of vitality now became dull and lifeless, as if carrying endless pain and helplessness.

Lin Lang knew that Zhang Qiaoyun was fighting a tenacious battle against kidney failure, and every dialysis was a battle between her and the disease.

But the cruelty and ruthlessness of the disease made Zhang Qiaoyun's body increasingly weak and the flower of her life gradually withered.

Lin Lang's heart was filled with sympathy and compassion. He seemed to be able to feel the pain and helplessness in Zhang Qiaoyun's body.

The only thing that has not changed is Zhang Qiaoyun's kind and warm eyes.

Lin Lang couldn't help but walk forward, gently held Zhang Qiaoyun's hand, forced a smile, and said: "I haven't seen Aunt Qiaoyun for many years, I miss you very much!"

The years pass by our fingertips like a torrent.

Lin Lang's gaze stayed on Zhang Qiaoyun, and his heart suddenly filled with a sour feeling that could not be described in words.

Zhang Qiaoyun looked at the younger generation Lin Lang in front of her, who had grown from a green boy to a tall, handsome man with noble aura and extraordinary temperament. She couldn't help but feel very gratified.

"Alang has grown up!"

"Seeing that you have become so successful, Aunt Qiao Yun is happy for your parents!"

"Hurry up, sit in the inner room!"

"Moli, please pour some water for Alang!" Zhang Qiaoyun was very enthusiastic.

"Yes." Li Moli did as she was told.

Lin Lang politely replied: "We are all family, no need to bother. I drank some water before I came."

After Lin Lang sat down, he glanced at the simple interior environment, old furniture and poor living conditions. He felt uncomfortable when he saw his childhood sweetheart, Li Moli, living in a house in a suburban shantytown.

"Brother Alang, drink some water."

"Thank you!" When Lin Lang took the cup of water, he accidentally touched Li Moli's hand.

Li Moli mistakenly thought that Lin Lang was touching her hand on purpose, and smiled shyly, somewhat shyly.

Zhang Qiaoyun said with some inferiority, "My humble abode is small and simple, I hope you, Alang, don't mind it!"

"Aunt Qiaoyun, you have suffered!"

"I have already told Jasmine that I will arrange for a moving company to take you to a new house in the city to provide you and Jasmine with a better living environment."

Zhang Qiaoyun was very surprised after hearing this and declined politely, "That's so embarrassing!"

"It's good for Jasmine and I to live here. The rent is cheap, and the vegetable prices in the suburbs of Longhai are also cheap. I won't bother you, Alang!"

"Aunt Qiaoyun, you don't have to be polite to me. I have already ordered a full set of furniture and appliances from IKEA. They will be delivered to your door tomorrow. The day after tomorrow morning, I will arrange for a moving company to pick you and Jasmine up to live in the new house."

Zhang Qiaoyun was so moved that she burst into tears after hearing this. She held the hand of her junior Lin Lang and tried to speak several times, but she was choked with sobs and could not utter a word.

Li Moli said with red eyes: "Mom, since Brother Alang really wants us to move to the new house, we will be obedient and do it!"

"I will find a way to repay Brother Alang for the favor he has done me. Changing to a better environment will also be good for your health. Living in the city is also close to the hospital, and it will be convenient for you to have regular dialysis treatments."

Zhang Qiaoyun nodded with tears in her eyes after hearing this.

Lin Lang said, "Moli, don't take it to heart. This is within my ability. There is no debt between us, and I don't need you to repay me."

Li Moli looked at Lin Lang with emotion, and said with tears in her eyes and a smile: "Brother Alang, you are so good to me!"

Lin Lang wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Moli's eyes and said lovingly: "I will protect you from now on and will not let you suffer any grievances. After today, you will finally get your reward after all the hardships."

"Brother will spoil you from now on!"

"I'll let you live well and eat well, wear beautiful clothes, take you to see the world, and make you happy, okay?"

"Okay!" Li Moli smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Silly girl, stop crying!"

"If you cry again, your brother will feel bad!"

After hearing this, Li Moli sniffed, looked at Lin Lang with tears in her eyes, and said "hmm" obediently.

Zhang Qiaoyun felt warm at heart when she saw this. As someone who had experienced this, she could tell at a glance that Lin Lang and his daughter Li Moli had a deep childhood sweetheart relationship.

So, Zhang Qiaoyun said with relief: "Seeing that Alang will take care of you in the future, even if mom leaves this world now, she can rest assured and close her eyes."

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Now that our family has money, we can get you a kidney transplant. Why are you saying such depressing things?!"

Zhang Qiaoyun sighed and said, "Silly daughter, even if we have the money for the kidney transplant now, does that mean Mom doesn't have to die?"

"Kidney sources are in short supply, so don't give me gifts if it doesn't matter. Given my mother's current health condition, I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for a suitable kidney source."

After hearing this, Li Moli's nose felt sore and tears fell again. She looked so pitiful that Lin Lang felt very distressed.

So, Lin Lang said, "Moli, give me Aunt Qiaoyun's kidney matching information. I will use some of my social connections to help Aunt Qiaoyun find a kidney source."

After hearing this, Li Moli wiped her tears and asked, "Brother Alang, do you have any connections in the big hospital?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "My master's wife, Zhuang Jingxue, is the vice president of Zhongshan Affiliated Hospital of Fudan University in Changhai City. I asked my master's wife to use some of her connections. I think she will be able to find a suitable kidney source for Aunt Qiaoyun soon."

After hearing this, Li Moli jumped up and down with joy, holding Lin Lang's hand and acting coquettishly, unable to hide her happiness, she said, "That's great!"

"It's really great!"

"Brother Alang, you must be an angel sent by God to save my mother and me. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness to our family!"

After hearing this, Zhang Qiaoyun rekindled her hope for life and took the opportunity to match them up, saying, "Silly daughter, I see that you have nothing to repay me with, so I can only pledge my love to you."

Li Moli blushed after hearing this. She looked at her childhood sweetheart Lin Lang with affection, and then replied embarrassedly: "Mom, what are you talking about?!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang smiled but said nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Moli hurriedly found her mother's kidney matching information and handed it to Lin Lang.

"Brother Alang, I can only ask you for help!"

Li Moli looked at Lin Lang with tears in her eyes, her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, and she was very pitiful.

"May good people live a peaceful life. Aunt Qiao Yun will definitely find a suitable kidney and successfully complete the kidney transplant operation." Lin Lang took the kidney matching information.

"Then I'll borrow Brother Alang's good words!"

Zhang Qiaoyun asked, "Alang, your master's wife is the vice president of a large hospital, so your master must be no ordinary person, right?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "My respected teacher Zhou Zhongdang is a collector in the treasure appraisal world."

Zhang Qiaoyun was shocked and asked, "Alang, your master is Zhou Zhongdang, the famous treasure appraiser in Xiaohai City?"

"Aunt Qiao Yun, do you know my master?"

"When the TV was still working, I watched every episode of the program 'Appraising Heirlooms' broadcast on Hai TV. Of course I know that your master Zhou Zhongdang is a master of appraising treasures."

Lin Lang felt somewhat sad after hearing this. He didn't expect that Li Moli's TV was broken but she was not willing to spend money to repair it.

After reading it, Lin Lang forced a smile.

"I have ordered a large plasma screen TV for the new house. When you and Jasmine move into the new house and watch the program "Appraising Heirlooms", you will find that I have replaced Master as the special treasure appraiser on the show."

Zhang Qiaoyun praised: "Oh my goodness~ Alang, you have really made it big. You even made it on TV!"

Li Moli was shocked and said, "Brother Alang, didn't you study finance in college? Did you change your major later?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't go back, as he had a universal prompt system to assist him in appraising treasures.

So, Lin Lang lied and said, "My master taught me well, and I have some talent, so I have the opportunity to make a name for myself in the antique appraisal world."

"Brother Alang, you are so awesome!"

Zhang Qiaoyun asked tentatively: "Alang, Moli just came home and said that there is a beautiful rich lady with you today. Who is she?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "She is the teacher's daughter, Zhou Mengyao."

"Oh~"

"So she is your master's daughter." Zhang Qiaoyun had a smile on her face.

When Li Moli heard that Zhou Mengyao was just the daughter of Master Lin Lang, she was secretly delighted, and her eyes became brighter when she looked at Lin Lang.

"Jasmine, tomorrow is your birthday. I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"

Li Moli felt warm at heart after hearing this, and said in surprise: "Brother Alang, after so many years, you still remember my birthday?!"

Lin Lang replied lovingly: "Of course I remember!"

"Here, this is your birthday present this year!"

Lin Lang took out a Chanel brand jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Li Moli.

"Thank you, Brother Alang!"

Li Moli was pleasantly surprised. After opening the jewelry box, she saw a Chanel rose gold diamond bracelet, which cost at least tens of thousands of Chinese yuan.

"Uh……"

"Brother Alang, the birthday present you gave me is too expensive. I can't accept it!"

Lin Lang put on a Chanel rose gold diamond bracelet for Li Moli and said lovingly, "Why not accept a birthday gift from your brother?"

"Look, Jasmine, after putting on the expensive jewelry, your worth and temperament have become different!"

Li Moli looked at her childhood sweetheart Lin Lang, who gently put the bracelet on her. She was so moved that her eyes turned red. She said softly, "I haven't received a birthday present for four years since my mother got sick. I'm so happy today!"

"Brother Alang, you are so nice to me!"

When Zhang Qiaoyun saw this scene, she secretly wiped away her tears and felt deeply guilty.

Then, Lin Lang took out several branded jewelry boxes from his body and said arrogantly: "This Chanel double C white gold diamond necklace is the birthday gift you missed last year. I'm giving it to you as a replacement!"

"This pair of Tiffany's diamond earrings was your birthday present two years ago. I'll give it to you as a gift as well!"

"This Cartier 18K rose gold ladies' watch is a gift to make up for your birthday two years ago!"

"We haven't seen each other for four years. I've made up for the birthday presents I missed before. Are you happy?"

"Uh..." Li Moli was moved to tears.

"Brother Alang, these birthday gifts are too expensive. I don't deserve them. Will you give me such an expensive birthday gift?"

Li Moli looked at Lin Lang with tears in her eyes. She was deeply moved at this moment.

Lin Lang raised his hand to wipe Li Moli's tears and replied arrogantly: "As long as you like, I will pick all the stars in the sky for you!"

"Woooooooo..."

"I don't want the stars in the sky, I just want Brother Alang!"

In front of her mother, Li Moli threw herself into Lin Lang's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried like a pear blossom in the rain, she was so moved that she couldn't control herself.

"Woooo..."

It seemed that Li Moli's tears were washing away the grievances she had suffered over the years and releasing the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for so long.

Zhang Qiaoyun was also moved to tears when she saw that her daughter now had someone to rely on, and she felt very relieved about it.

Lin Lang gently stroked Li Moli's shoulders and said softly, "Don't cry, silly girl!"

"Today is a good day for you to reunite with your brother, so don't cry, dear!"

"Yeah!" Li Moli nodded with tears in her eyes and a smile.

Lin Lang looked at Zhang Qiaoyun and said, "Aunt Qiaoyun, I have to shoot the cover of "Piano Art" magazine and accept an exclusive interview with the magazine tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I have to record the program "Identifying Heirlooms". I can't spare the time to celebrate Jasmine's birthday."

"I want to take Jasmine out tonight to celebrate an unforgettable birthday for her. I might not come home overnight. What do you think, Aunt Qiaoyun?"

Zhang Qiaoyun readily agreed and replied, "Ah Lang, take Jasmine out to play, Auntie, don't worry!"

"Jasmine has suffered a lot in the past few years since I got sick. It's time for her to have a good birthday and have a good time!"

Li Moli gently held Lin Lang's arm and said with a smile in her tearful eyes: "Mom, we'll leave first!"

Zhang Qiaoyun reminded him, "Go quickly! Just one thing, don't let your brother Alang spend too much money!"

"I know, Mom!" Li Moli stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully.

"Wait for good news from me. I will definitely find a kidney source for you as soon as possible. Goodbye, Aunt Qiaoyun!"

"Alang, you are so thoughtful. Drive slowly on the road. Auntie will give you a ride!"

"Aunt Qiaoyun, you are too weak, please don't send me off!"

Zhang Qiaoyun watched Lin Lang and her daughter Li Moli leave. Seeing her daughter's back as she walked out the door with Lin Lang, Zhang Qiaoyun felt as if she was marrying off her daughter and watching her leave the house.
