Chapter 413: Chapter 413 - Injured 4 Years Ago_1

John smiled, then looked at He Zhilan and said, "You should go home and take care of that injured hand. If there’s anything the restaurant can assist you with, don’t hesitate to call me. If your hand heals and you want to come back to work, you can return the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. If you want to rest, that’s fine too, just take your time. We always pay our salaries monthly, so simply stop by after the New Year to pick it up."

"Thank you, boss." He Zhilan was immensely grateful, relieved that John didn’t blame her for provoking Gu En and didn’t decide to kick her out of the restaurant.

"Wait here for a moment." John nodded, then went upstairs. When he returned, he was holding a small red envelope which he handed to He Zhilan. "It’s a local custom here to give red envelopes during the New Year. Here’s yours. I was originally planning to give it to everyone after dinner tonight, but as you won’t be coming over tonight, I’m giving it to you in advance. After you get home, have some light meals and rest early."

"We’re getting red envelopes too?" He Zhilan delightedly stuck out her tongue as she accepted it and said, "Thank you, boss."

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Lin Chan teased, "He Zhilan, never knew you had such a fiery passion for money!" Then he touched his nose and continued, "Actually, I’ve prepared a red envelope for you too. I was planning to deliver it to your place tonight, but since there’s an accident now, I came here immediately! It’s in my car, I’ll give it to you later. You’ll have a splendid New Year!"

Then, under his breath, Lin Chan muttered, "Who knew our little Zhilan was such a money lover!"

"Brother Lin Chan, Sister Xiulin wants one too~" On hearing this, Bian Xiulin immediately grabbed onto Lin Chan’s arm and shook it. Her plaintive voice sent a tremor through John, who was all too familiar with Xiulin’s lethal charm.

"Nope! I didn’t recognize you as my sister." Lin Chan completely ignored Bian Xiulin. After exchanging New Year’s greetings with John, he took the clamoring Xiulin and Zhilan and left the restaurant.

As soon as they got into the car, Lin Chan took out the red envelope he had prepared for Zhilan from his bag. "You’re spending the New Year in the military, otherwise I would have loved to have you celebrating with me at my house. Take this red envelope. Every passing year makes you a year older. Our little Zhilan is going to get more and more beautiful. Whatever you wish for, may it come true."

"Wow, listen to how sweet talker our young Chan is!" Bian Xiulin was beyond envious at this moment.

"Thank you, and Happy New Year to both of you," Zhilan was so happy she couldn’t stop smiling. Having received the two red envelopes, she felt a deep warmth in her heart. She’d never expected Lin Chan to give her a red envelope and say such nice things to her.

The drive from the restaurant to Zhilan’s dormitory took just two minutes. When they arrived, Lin Chan accompanied Zhilan to her front door, urging her anxiously, "Remember what the doctor told you, don’t get that hand wet. When you get to the military base, have the army doctor change your dressing. Get a good night’s sleep tonight, and I’ll take you to the train station in the morning."

"Okay!" Zhilan nodded and waved goodbye to Lin Chan. Once inside, she looked at her swollen hand and sighed slightly. Luckily, the hand was treated promptly and didn’t blister. Besides, she had completed the sweater she was knitting for He Teng the previous night.

That evening, Fang Fang brought back some pastries from the restaurant for Zhilan as per John’s instruction. After handing them over, Fang Fang looked at Zhilan’s hand and asked, "How’s your hand doing?"
