Bai Fengmao beca agitated, more and more so, "That’s my own granddaughter! When she walked up to , she was in rags, covered in dirt, and even injured! With such a big belly!"
"Dad, Dad..."
"And that’s my own granddaughter! That Brother Yin and his wife actually looked down on her! They actually dared to—"
"Dad, calm down, calm down!"
Bai Sixian saw Bai Fengmao’s face turning red with anger and quickly tried to soothe his chest continuously.
"How can I calm down?! This can’t be forgiven! My granddaughter, Bai Fengmao’s granddaughter, being bullied like this!"
Bai Sixian felt... a bit rash.
Hmm... should have found a more appropriate ti to tell the old man about this.
"If that old couple from the Yin Family doesn’t give an explanation, I’m going to break their son’s leg!"
Bai Fengmao’s tone didn’t sound like he was just trying to scare people.
The old man is stubborn...
"If Shixiu’s leg is broken, ng ng will cry her eyes out..."
Bai Sixian said lightly.
Bai Fengmao was speechless.
"Dad..."
Bai Sixian held Bai Fengmao’s hand and said slowly, "That matter is in the past now. ng ng suffered, but Shixiu has shown his attitude. The night I took ng ng back to Chengdu, Shixiu chased after us to Chengdu and later stayed with ng ng in Chengdu all the ti."
"He went to Chengdu?"
Bai Fengmao raised his eyebrows.
Bai Sixian nodded, "Dad, you still don’t trust my judgnt? To put it this way, Shixiu and I are of the sa generation, but when he sees and Chengji, he calls mom and calls Chengji dad... He’s different from others."
"As far as I’m concerned, he’s sincere with ng ng."
"..." Bai Fengmao took a deep breath, finding it hard to let go of the knot in his heart.
"Actually..."
Bai Sixian sneaked a glance at her father, then said, "You should be able to understand the Yin family’s elders, right?"
Bai Fengmao’s expression turned stern, "What do you an by that, young lady?"
Bai Sixian chuckled softly, "Didn’t you also look down on Chengji..."
"How can that be the sa?! I raised a daughter! My daughter is highly intelligent, emotionally intelligent, she’s great at everything, and she married to that jerk Su Chengji, can I be reconciled with that? They raised a son! My ng ng is so adorable, can you find another one like her in this world? If those old folks say they can find one, I’ll acknowledge it! I would even call Yin Shaohui my big brother! But that Yin Shixiu is already in his thirties, while my ng ng is just a child of this world..."
Bai Fengmao slapped the bed furiously, "Damn it, how did the girls from my Bai Fengmao family all end up with useless n!"
"Dad, Dad... watch your language!"
"I can’t help it!"
Bai Sixian watched her father acting like a child, and a wave of emotion rose in her heart.
Dad... how old are you now? After your birthday next month, you’ll be seventy-nine...
You’ve reached an age where you act like a child... It’s good that she ca, it’s good that she returned.
On that side, Bai Fengmao was utterly furious, nothing like his usual composed self.
Maybe part of it is he genuinely feels angry, and the other part... because his daughter is around, he’s more open with his emotions.
On this side, Bai Sixian listening didn’t worry too much that her father would seriously go and break Yin Shixiu’s leg.
"Dad, I’ve co to terms with this with Chengji as well..."
Bai Sixian smoothed Bai Fengmao’s chest again, soothing him gently, "If it weren’t for Yin Shixiu initially getting involved with ng ng, I would have been rather opposed to ng ng marrying into a wealthy family... ng ng is inherently good, but she’s naturally lazy. Take , for example. Dad, didn’t you spoil so much when I was young?"
"But even so, the rules of the family, the manners outside, every movent, people were watching."
"Even if I was very favored by you, I still had to adhere to the rules, understand what needed to be understood, and do what needed to be done..."
"ng ng’s temperant is like Chengji’s, kind-hearted, sincere with people, but the problem is sotis her thought process is different from others..."
"She’s only twenty, and although we can’t judge a person’s maturity solely by age, she’s my daughter, I know very well that it’s too early for her to be a mother."
"But you can’t just say because she’s young, she doesn’t have to be a responsible mother. A child’s growth happens only once, especially when a child is this young, the parents can’t afford to make mistakes."
"This demands that a carefree, unconcerned university student must grow up in the shortest ti with the fastest speed."
"Those things, the two old folks from the Yin family might not be willing to see from ng ng’s point of view..."
"At their age, can’t they understand these things? It seems I need to find so ti to have a good talk with that old couple!"
Bai Sixian smiled at her father, "Dad, don’t rush."
"How is this not urgent?"
"I think... although it’s a bit difficult for ng ng, but pushing her a little is necessary, many things, even if we speak in her ear, she might not understand, but experiencing it herself, she will grow faster."
Bai Fengmao frowned slightly, not daring to agree with his daughter’s view.
Just thinking about the pitiful look of his granddaughter when they t on the mountain, he couldn’t bear it.
"Dad, you know that girl ng ng can cook many dishes now! I was shocked when I ca to Beijing this ti, in less than two months!"
"She’s going to school, taking care of the child, and still cooking for Yin Shixiu?!"
The priority Bai Fengmao got from Bai Sixian’s words was entirely different from what Bai Sixian intended to convey!
Bai Sixian scratched her head...
Bai Fengmao kept a stern face, but after glancing at his daughter’s expression, he finally took a deep breath and couldn’t help but mutter, "I understand what you an. I just feel sorry for my granddaughter..."
Bai Sixian knew her father was a reasonable person.
"Even before I knew she was my biological granddaughter, I already felt sorry for that little girl. Now that I know she’s my biological granddaughter..."
"I understand, I understand!"
Bai Sixian patted her father’s hand, "When I go back and tell ng ng that you’re her biological grandfather, she’ll probably be too happy to fall asleep at night."
"Really?"
"She likes you a lot!"
Bai Fengmao thought about ng ng liking him, and his heart felt sweet, then suddenly thought of sothing and hurriedly grabbed Bai Sixian’s hand, "Don’t tell ng ng this yet; wait until I’m discharged from the hospital next week. Next week, let’s go to ng ng and Shixiu’s house together and give the little girl a surprise!"
Bai Sixian saw her father’s beaming face, with a childlike mischievous look, and she felt both sour and sweet inside.
"The hospital is full of illness, and if ng ng knows, she’ll definitely co to see , so let’s keep it a secret for now and let look forward to it."
Bai Sixian nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
Bai Fengmao’s eyes drifted away as a few smiling wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
It seed he was already fantasizing about the scene when his granddaughter learns that he is her biological grandfather.
"Oh, by the way!"
Bai Fengmao snapped back to reality.
"Hmm?"
"That... cough cough... let Su Chengji co to Beijing."
"What for? Afraid I’ll hit him again?"
"No, no, of course not, I know dad is the best!"
Bai Sixian laughed with squinted eyes.
Bai Fengmao tapped her nose, "Let him co to Beijing. After so many years, I should apologize to him and thank him..."
"Dad, there’s no need... Su Chengji doesn’t bla you?"
"He dares to bla ? He took my precious daughter away for twenty years. He has the nerve to bla ?"
"I apologize to him purely because I feel guilty, but he should understand in his heart that in these twenty years, he’s gained, and I’ve lost everything."
"Alright, alright."
Bai Fengmao looked at his daughter, unable to resist reaching out, "Baby, let dad hold you tightly once more."
Bai Sixian smiled and snuggled into her father’s embrace.
When Bai Sixian returned to the apartnt that night, it was already eleven o’clock.
When she entered, Yin Shixiu was still leaning on the sofa in the living room reading a book, but it was clear there was a layer of fatigue on his face.
Seeing Bai Sixian return, he closed the book and stood up, "Where did you go? Why was your phone off?"
"Oh, it ran out of battery. Why are you still up? Aren’t you going to work tomorrow?"
Su’s mother asked casually.
Yin Shixiu said, "I called you, but your phone was off. ng ng was worried and insisted on waiting for you to co back before going to sleep. In the end, she fell asleep halfway through, and I carried her to the room."
Su’s mother pressed her lips together, "So... you were waiting for ?"
Yin Shixiu shrugged, "It’s a bit late. By the way, you’re still very young..."
He got to this point, and Su’s mother understood, feeling sowhat embarrassed, "I’m sorry."
"No problem, next ti you go out, let take you."
"...Okay. You should go to bed too, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang..."
"They’re both asleep."
Yin Shixiu said as Su’s mother nodded, about to enter the room when Yin Shixiu suddenly asked, "By the way, mom... weren’t you out buying things? Where are they?"
Su’s mother froze for a mont, then looked at Yin Shixiu with a raised eyebrow, "You tell , where are they?"
Yin Shixiu chuckled, "I don’t an to interfere; I was just asking."
"Shixiu, please don’t play mind gas with , alright?"
"Alright."
"As long as you know, don’t pry into things you shouldn’t. The less you ask, the more polite I’ll be when I et your parents."
Yin Shixiu nodded, said goodnight to Su’s mother, and then entered the room.
He could vaguely guess that Su’s mother must have gone out to see soone, and in Beijing, the person worth her going out so late to see...
Was probably related to the "family" she left 20 years ago.
Yin Shixiu knew that Su’s mother’s family background was complicated, but he had never investigated it.
Because Bai Sixian was different from Su Xiaong and Su Chengji; she was astute and very sensitive.
Unless he secretly investigated and made sure she never found out, otherwise... it would surely be a problem.
Also, he wasn’t particularly interested in knowing more.
But today...
He and Su Xiaong went to visit Bai Fengmao at the hospital in the afternoon.
