When Bai Zheng heard Bai Xiao say that his granddaughter-in-law was also here, he sat up with the help of the nurse and tidied his clothes before saying, “Little brat, you didn’t even inform me that you were bringing my granddaughter-in-law here. Great, I didn’t change my clothes or pack them. Aren’t you bringing people to laugh at me?”

Hu Ke had been following behind Bai Xiao. When she entered the ward, she hesitated for a moment before following him. The old man did not see her and asked Bai Xiao with a smile, “Didn’t you say that you brought her here? Where’s the child?”

Bai Xiao gestured for her to move closer to the bed.

Bai Zheng looked like an amiable old man. He called Hu Ke over. “This is Xiao Ke, right? The first time we met was too rushed. I didn’t even look at you carefully.”

Hu Ke stepped forward and greeted the old man.

An electronic female voice came from the phone at the right time. “Hello, Grandpa. I’m Hu Ke. I’m sorry that I’m mute and can’t speak, so I used this method to communicate with you. I hope you can forgive me.”

Bai Zheng did not expect his granddaughter-in-law to be a disabled person. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he quickly composed himself. However, he did not talk to Hu Ke anymore. Instead, he turned around and asked Bai Xiao, “She’s almost two months pregnant, right? It’s quite good. You have to take care of the baby and not be careless.”

Bai Xiao nodded and chatted with Bai Zheng about the company.

Hu Ke’s expression was a little ugly, but she still maintained his original posture and did not sit down.

Bai Xiao chatted with the old man for a while. From the corner of his eye, he saw Hu Ke, who was still standing, and said, “Grandpa, it’s late. You should eat and rest early. She and I will take our leave first. You should rest well too. When the time comes, you still have to play with your great-grandson!”

With that, he brought Hu Ke out.

Bai Zheng naturally understood what he meant. He nodded and was about to return to the bed to lie down.

Hu Ke followed behind Bai Xiao. Just as she was about to leave the ward, she suddenly turned around and bowed to Bai Zheng as a form of farewell.

Bai Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He smiled and waved at Hu Ke.

After the two of them left, Bai Zheng was the only one left in the ward.

The nurse helped him prepare dinner. Only the tireless sound of the television could be heard in the huge room.

Bai Zheng lay on the hospital bed and muttered to himself, “The young lady is quite pretty and has good etiquette. It’s a pity that she’s a mute…”

Bai Xiao left the hospital with Hu Ke and walked home. Along the way, the two of them did not speak. However, Bai Xiao received a call and he casually replied before hanging up. Hu Ke was not interested in other people’s private lives and did not ask further.

After the car drove back to the small villa, Hu Ke suddenly saw an additional car in the courtyard. She had a good memory and recognized that this was Yu Wei’s car from the time her brother went to the hospital to force her to get married.

Now that the car was parked in the courtyard, it was like a high-profile declaration of sovereignty. It said arrogantly to Hu Ke, “Look, I’m the mistress of this house.”

“My mother just called and said that she’s coming over. After you go in, it’s best if you don’t cause trouble.” Bai Xiao, who was sitting at the side, suddenly spoke. Hu Ke nodded and got out of the car with him.

Bian Fang was already waiting at the door. She quickly helped the two of them take out their slippers.

Bai Xiao was quick. He changed quickly and went in.

Bian Fang waited for Bai Xiao to leave before whispering into Hu Ke’s ear, “Madam has brought the young lady of the An family to visit. Please deal with her.”

After spending a few weeks together, Bian Fang had a good impression of Hu Ke.

She didn’t trouble others. She had a gentle and polite personality and treated them well. This afternoon, Yu Wei brought the eldest daughter of the An family to the house, but she instructed the servants in the house to tidy up for the entire afternoon. Bian Fang’s intuition told her that they were here for Hu Ke, and she could only give Hu Ke a simple reminder.

Hu Ke smiled at Bian Fang and walked around the screen.

On the sofa, Yu Wei held An Wen’s hand and introduced her to Bai Xiao affectionately. “This is your sister, An Wen. The two of you even played together when you were young. At that time, you played the piano and played the violin steadily. An Wen went overseas when she was in primary school. She just returned this year. Bring her to more gatherings in the circle and let her get to know a few more people.”
