Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Granny Bai Regains Her Memory

Chen Xinwan had called, and Bai Yurou immediately answered, very obediently.

"Mom, why did you send Xiao Lin over? I’m doing quite well here by myself. Let Xiao Lin go back. My sister doesn’t have anyone taking care of her, and I don’t need anyone either."

Chen Xinwan’s voice was very gentle, just like before.

"Yurou, your situation is different from Qiaoqiao’s. Qiaoqiao had her share of hardships before, and her company is now doing well. She occasionally goes out to eat with Li Yehan. You’ve never faced hardship from childhood, how can you take care of yourself? I’ve seen Xiao Lin looking after you for quite some time, so I sent her over. Yurou, you’re not angry with me for doing this, are you?"

Where would Bai Yurou dare to be angry with Chen Xinwan? Even if she was angry, she would just sulk alone.

Bai Yurou took a deep breath and quickly calmed her feelings.

"Mom, let Xiao Lin come back to take care of you. I need to learn to grow up as well."

"There are plenty of servants at home, and it’s perfect for Xiao Lin to take care of you. Yurou, I’m really worried about you. It’s settled, then. You go ahead with what you were doing, I have to get back to work as well."

Chen Xinwan hung up the phone, leaving Bai Yurou looking extremely upset, startling Xiao Lin into retreating a few steps, fearing that Bai Yurou might hit her.

Bai Yurou sat in the chair, while Xiao Lin looked around and poured her a glass of water.

"Fourth Miss, the Madam is worried about you. Even when she was cooking, she was talking about whether you might be having a hard time living here. She wanted to visit you too. But since you’ve just moved in, she decided not to come for now."

Bai Yurou forced herself to calm down; everything Xiao Lin, being her own person, said was naturally the truth.

So the Bai family really hadn’t noticed?

Was sending Xiao Lin over also out of concern for her?

Xiao Lin didn’t know about Bai Yurou pushing Granny Bai and didn’t understand why Bai Yurou was so angry.

Shouldn’t she, an adopted daughter who was still valued by the Bai family, be happy?

Bai Yurou put on a smile, her emotions well under control.

"Xiao Lin, just lay out the food here. Since my mom has sent you over, then stay and take care of my daily needs. I’ll give you the keys. You go back and tidy up the house, buy groceries and cook. Tonight, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, seasoned small seafood, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and chive and sea intestine dumplings."

Xiao Lin: "..."

She can eat so much?

Can one person really finish all that?

"What’s wrong, you have a problem with that?" Bai Yurou asked unhappily.

Xiao Lin shook her head repeatedly, "Fourth Miss, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just, when I left, the Madam didn’t give me any money. I don’t have the money to buy all these things..."

Bai Yurou: "..."

She used to eat and drink at the Bai family’s house, and whatever she wanted to eat, she just had to mention it to the kitchen.

Now she had to spend her own money to buy groceries, which Bai Yurou didn’t quite like.

Seafood was expensive, and yet she craved it.

The food outside wasn’t tasty, and couldn’t compare to the flavor of the Bai family’s kitchen.

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return.

With that thought, Bai Yurou still decided to grit her teeth and buy anyway: "I’ll transfer money to you. You go and buy it, I’ll reimburse you!"

"Sure, Fourth Miss."

Xiao Lin took the keys and went to Bai Yurou’s address.

Seeing the mess in the room, Xiao Lin nearly had a heart attack!

Bai Yurou was not at all tidy, it was like a pigsty!

...

When everyone found out about Granny Bai recovering her memory, they all came back and gathered in Granny Bai’s room.

Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingrui hadn’t returned yet.

Chen Xinwan, Bai Zhenyang, Bai Jingting, and Nan Qiao sat in Granny Bai’s room, listening to her recount the events of that day.

"I remember now, the person who pushed me, she had a red string bracelet on her hand, and we’ve compared it; at that time, Yu Rou had the same bracelet on her wrist."

Grandpa Bai said, "I recall Bai Yurou mentioning her bad luck recently and that she was wearing a Luck Bead for a change in fortune."

Chen Xinwan added, "I remember too, I was the one who went with her to pick it out, and I paid for it!"

Chen Xinwan was infuriated, realizing that every time Bai Yurou bought something, she was always with her, letting her foot the bill!

Turns out, she was just a big sucker!

Bai Jingting and Bai Zhenyang didn’t speak because they were too angry to say anything.

Nan Qiao pressed on, "Granny, why did she push you?"

"I think, it must have been because I overheard her secret. In fact, I didn’t really hear anything, but she thought I did, and that’s why she resorted to such ruthless measures!"

Granny Bai became agitated, her emotions unstable at the thought that her granddaughter, whom she loved for eighteen years, wanted to kill her.

Grandpa Bai fed her a quick heart-saving pill, which were the life-saving pills Nan Qiao had given them.

Granny Bai continued, "That afternoon, she was on the phone in a corner of the garden. At the time, I was planting Xiao Bai cabbages there, and she didn’t know I was inside. I heard her say, ’The plan is still in motion, the poison is in the food, the mission will be accomplished.’"

Bai Zhenyang exclaimed, "She must have put it in our food!"

Bai Jingting asked, "Granny, how did she find you?"

"I was about to leave after finishing gardening when I heard her. I didn’t dare move. Then her cat jumped over, giving me a fright, and that’s when Bai Yurou noticed me."

Everyone finally understood why Bai Yurou had attacked Granny Bai.

Granny Bai, heartbroken, said, "At the time, I hadn’t questioned her, and Bai Yurou explained it away, saying it was about a hospital patient who was unwilling to take medication, so they mixed the medicine with food. I believed her then and didn’t think too much about it. It’s all my fault, all my fault!"

Nan Qiao comforted her, "Granny, you can’t blame yourself. You treated her as your own granddaughter; of course, you believed her. You did nothing wrong."

Chen Xinwan also consoled the elder, "Mom, you’re not to blame. It’s all Bai Yurou’s doing. She took advantage of our affection!"

The family sighed collectively.

They never imagined that Bai Yurou, whom they had doted on for eighteen years, would turn out to be the one trying to kill them!

Though the murder attempt was unsuccessful, her actions left them feeling cold.

Chen Xinwan said, "Thankfully, Qiaoqiao was clever, and now Bai Yurou has been sent away. Bai Zhenyang, check if there’s enough time to freeze all of Bai Yurou’s cards!"

Bai Jingting said, "I’ll make the call."

Bai Jingting went to handle these matters.

Bai Zhenyang declared, "Since Bai Yurou has done this to us, she can’t blame me for not being polite!"

Grandpa Bai asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Bai Zhenyang replied, "Dad, leave it to me, you just take care of Mom."

Nan Qiao didn’t interfere with the matter, trusting that Bai Zhenyang and Bai Jingting, who were no pushovers, could handle it.

Thinking this, Nan Qiao suggested, "Dad, we should still pay attention to the people in contact with Bai Yurou. How have these people collaborated with her since she started living in the Bai Family? Perhaps even the initial hospital baby mix-up was arranged by these people?"

Grandpa Bai remarked, "Such a malicious mind. If it’s true, then it’s horrifying! Eighteen years!"

Bai Zhenyang felt a shiver run down his spine; the situation was beyond comprehension.

"I’ll go find Jingting to discuss this thoroughly."

The people of the Bai Family busied themselves with their tasks.

As for Bai Yurou, she had utterly collapsed.
