Chapter 242: Chapter 242 New Hope

Bai Yurou sat down to eat and, looking at her grandmother’s face, said with a smile, "Granny, you look very well. Now that you’ve awakened, a great weight has been lifted from our family’s heart. Granny, it’s so good that nothing happened to you. My sister is so amazing to ensure your safe and healthy recovery."

When Nan Qiao was mentioned, Granny’s face filled with smiles, and she praised out loud, "Qiaoqiao does indeed do wonders. It’s all thanks to her that I could wake up."

Grandpa Bai kept silent, eating the steamed bun in his hand.

Bai Yurou said with a smile in her eyes, "My sister really works hard. She had already gone to work when I just got up. She’s so young, yet she keeps herself busy every day, I’m afraid it will be too much for her."

Grandpa Bai spoke up, "Qiaoqiao is sure about the things she does, she never gets involved in uncertain matters. Since she feels she can handle it, there surely won’t be any problems. Yurou, you should worry about your own affairs. I heard you’re no longer interning at the hospital, and haven’t competed as before?"

Bai Yurou was silent.

In her heart, Bai Yurou was furiously cursing at Grandpa Bai.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, pitiful, weak, and helpless.

"Grandpa, during that time, my mood was greatly affected. I was worried that my parents would send me away, that I would lose my family. I was so distressed that I couldn’t concentrate on the competition."

Looking tearfully at both Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai, she said, "It’s all my fault for bringing shame on our family."

Grandpa Bai corrected her seriously, "Yurou, how can you say that? Our family has never been ashamed because of a child’s failure. Just because you failed once doesn’t mean you will always fail."

Granny Bai comforted her, "That’s right, Yurou. Your grandfather is right. Our Bai family raises our daughters in abundance, so you don’t need to dwell on the hospital matter. You should look forward. Whatever you want to do, just go for it."

Grandpa Bai continued, "If you want to start a business, go ahead boldly. Over the years, we’ve given you quite a bit of money, definitely enough to start your own business, so whatever you want to do, just do it."

Bai Yurou remained silent.

She had intended to use starting a business as a way to ask for money from the Bai Family.

But now, from what they were saying, it seemed like they were not planning to give money?

Bai Yurou held back her anger and said with a forced smile, "I went into medicine because I wanted to help Granny with her treatment. Now that Granny is awake, it’s really great."

Granny Bai was slightly surprised and a bit moved by her words.

"Yurou, you are so dutiful. Your life should be lived for yourself, without having to consider your granny."

Bai Yurou sweetly smiled, "You’re my granny, who watched me grow up, and I love Granny. Granny waking up is my biggest wish. But now my wish has changed, I hope Grandpa and Granny can always stay by our side."

Granny Bai’s face lit up with a smile, and she talked a lot with Bai Yurou until she left.

...

After Granny and Grandpa Bai finished eating, he pushed her in the wheelchair to the garden for a stroll.

The morning sun was not too hot, just right for a walk.

Grandpa Bai said, "Xiao Qin, there’s something you don’t know. Yurou’s bank account doesn’t have much money left."

Granny Bai was astonished, "What!"

How could Bai Yurou be out of money!

All the money the Bai Family had given her over the years, where had it gone?

The red envelope money when visiting relatives, where had it disappeared to?

Grandpa Bai continued, "Zhenyang is still investigating this matter. This child seems to have many secrets that we know nothing about."

Granny Bai sighed deeply. She had woken up to find that people could change so much right under their noses, so quickly.

"Old man, why do I feel that you seem to be suspecting Yurou?"

Grandpa Bai didn’t hide it and said, "Yes, I am suspecting her. I even suspect that the person who pushed you down the stairs was her."

"What!" Granny Bai was astonished again.

Grandpa Bai helped her up, and they sat on a chair, basking in the sun for a while.

He continued, "I do suspect her. You were at home comfortably, why would you go downstairs in the middle of the night, using the stairs no less. I know your habits, you always take the elevator because you’re afraid of falling down the stairs."

Granny Bai nodded, "I also find it strange. I later wondered, could it have been sleepwalking that caused this incident."

"Don’t I know whether you have a habit of sleepwalking?" Grandpa Bai said further, "Your fall was definitely someone’s deliberate act, intending to harm you! Xiao Qin, think again, before you fell, did you hear any secrets, see anything unusual?"

Granny Bai thought hard, but her head still hurt and she couldn’t remember.

"If you can’t remember, don’t strain yourself. The culprit must have left behind some trace."

Granny Bai suddenly thought of someone, "Is Gui Fen still at home?"

Grandpa Bai replied, "Not long after you fell into a coma, Ma Guifen said she felt guilty for not taking good care of you, got sick, and returned to her hometown."

Grandpa Bai was suddenly startled, recalling something. He looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "Right! Ma Guifen left after your coma, we can’t rule out the possibility that she saw something and was bribed to leave so abruptly."

Thinking of this possibility, Grandpa Bai took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Zhenyang.

Phone calls could easily be overheard, but messages would not.

Bai Zhenyang received the message, quickly replied to Grandpa Bai, and also conveyed the matter in the car.

Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao were both in the car. Bai Zhenyang, fearing the driver might hear, took screenshots of Grandpa Bai’s message and sent them to the two.

Both Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao’s phones rang at the same time. They picked up their phones and saw the message, then looked at Bai Zhenyang.

Bai Zhenyang nodded and started a group chat for the three of them, saying inside, "There’s definitely a possibility."

Nan Qiao: Dad, Grandpa’s speculations could very well be true.

Chen Xinwan: We must investigate quietly and bring this person to light.

Nan Qiao didn’t say anything but turned to inform Hou Ze about the matter, telling him to investigate quickly.

If they were too late, they might not find Ma Guifen.

After exchanging the news, Nan Qiao’s company arrived.

Nan Qiao told the driver to stop nearby, to avoid being seen by others.

"Mom and Dad, I’m off to work, goodbye."

Chen Xinwan: "Qiaoqiao, don’t go out for lunch, I’ll have Liu Feng bring you food, the char siu you love."

Bai Zhenyang: "I’ll tell Liu Feng to prepare some extra, and also bring you some fruit, to keep your nutrition balanced."

Nan Qiao: "No need, I’ll just eat outside."

Chen Xinwan: "The food outside is not nutritious, home-cooked meals are better. That’s settled then, Qiaoqiao, don’t work too hard. If possible, Mom still hopes you won’t work."

Bai Zhenyang: "Your mother’s New Year’s wish is for her beloved daughter Qiaoqiao not to work."

Nan Qiao couldn’t help but smile through her tears; Mom is so adorable.

"Mom and Dad, see you tonight." Nan Qiao got out of the car and waved goodbye.
