Lin Wan Bai placed his bag diagonally in front of him and walked along the private path outside the villa.
After leaving the Lin Family, she did not need to tell anyone else, because no one would care if she left or stayed. She only felt that there was no need to stay any longer.
It would take a long walk to get to the bus stop.
"Whooosh."
The white Land Rover stopped beside her.
"I just want to go home early." Lin Wan Bai climbed up the carriage silently.
When he turned around the corner, he glanced in her direction from the corner of his eyes, "Lin Wan Bai, you were sucked out of your chair again?"
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
"Then why are you twisting your face?" Huo Chang Yuan stared at her lowered eyes.
Lin Wan Bai mumbled, and didn't look at him, as he placed his hand on his lower abdomen. Maybe it's an auntie. I have a stomachache. "
Hearing this, Huo Chang Yuan pursed his lips, his mouth seeming to mutter "This thing is truly troublesome".
"Come home with me tonight."
Lin Wan Bai clenched his fingers, and seemed to be somewhat conflicted. "Can I not go, or can't go with that thing of yours …"
Huo Chang Yuan looked at her lazily, "If you can't do it, then lie down beside me on a warm bed!"
"It's better not to …" Lin Wan Bai still shook his head.
Even though she knew that her rejection would make him unhappy, she still chose to do so. As expected, her eyebrows darkened when she saw his actions.
Before he finished his sentence, Bluetooth's mobile phone suddenly rang. Huo Chang Yuan immediately pressed it and said in a respectful voice, "Hutong, Beijing's customers have arrived a day early. I will rush to the airport to pick you up then arrange for a hotel …"
Huo Chang Yuan frowned for two seconds, "I got it, I'll go over when I have time."
Lin Wan Bai looked at the red light in front of him, and while he was distracted with his phone calls, he said, "Hurry up and go, I can take the bus …"
With that, she quietly opened the door.
"Lin Wan Bai!"
When Huo Chang Yuan reacted, she was no longer in the carriage.
The signal in front changed, and the car horn sounded from behind. Huo Chang Yuan's eyebrows twitched, he had no choice but to push the Range Rover forward.
Lin Wan Bai was afraid that he would catch up with Yue Yang, so he casually jumped onto a bus and sat in the last row.
The first neon light shone on the window of the car, and her silhouette was reflected in it.
Lin Wan Bai shook his head in frustration.
What was she unhappy about …
When it was the weekday, Lin Wan Bai went to the hospital.
His grandmother seemed to have gotten better after changing the ward. Unlike before, when she didn't get a good night's rest, she would always fall asleep after taking the medicine. She looked to be in high spirits.
After dinner, the grandfather and grandson duo chatted about their childhood with laughter.
Lin Wan Bai stood up and supported the old man's shoulders, "Grandma, you have been sitting here for a long time, I think it's best if I put the pillow down and lie down."
Grandma smiled and said, "Good," understanding granddaughter's filial piety.
Lin Wan Bai moved carefully, placing the pillow on top of it and supporting his grandmother to lie down slowly. In the end, he didn't forget to carefully tuck in the corner, afraid that the air conditioner would turn cold.
When she was about to withdraw her hand, Grandma suddenly called out, "Little White! "You …"
Lin Wan Bai did not understand, only his grandmother's old eyes staring at him.
Following her line of sight, she froze.
When he bent over, his collar was open, and he couldn't hide the bruises below his collarbone.
"I …"
Lin Wan Bai stammered, not knowing how to explain.
The marks on her skin were all left behind by Huo Chang Yuan. That night when she came to the big aunt, her hands were so sore that they were almost broken. It had already been a few days, but her skin had always been thin. Normally, she wouldn't kowtow so much that it wouldn't disappear for a few days.
This was not the old society, and it could be accepted no matter how deep the relationship between a man and a woman developed.
But...
Grandma took hold of her granddaughter's hand, wanting to say something, but hesitated. "Little White, tell Grandma the truth, are you …" the same as the girls from Old Zhang's family in the countryside? "
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, the old man's eyes were already filled with tears.
"Grandma, I'm not!"
Lin Wan Bai's heart tightened, but he couldn't help but deny it.
After working in the city for less than two days, he had grown up like an old man who was as old as his father. Other than money, there was also a wife and a pair of children.
Actually, after she calculated, there was no difference between her and them.
The only difference was that Huo Chang Yuan did not bring his own family along. Instead, he was an outstanding bachelor.
Lin Wan Bai laughed bitterly in her heart, should she be grateful?
"If not, then where did you get the money to pay for the operation? And this ward, I heard from the nurse, it's twice as big as a normal ward! With that mother and daughter of yours in the Lin Family, how could your father possibly give you so much money?! " Grandma shook her head, not believing it.
"Little White, if you're really like the Zhang girl, Grandma won't blame you!" "As long as you go back to the shore early on, life is not over yet …"
"Grandma, don't cry, I really didn't!"
Lin Wan Bai was both pained and anxious. He used a piece of paper to wipe away the tears on the old man's face, afraid that her emotions would affect her health, and especially so the attending doctor who often warned her that the most important thing for heart disease was to pay attention to her emotions.
She gritted her teeth and blurted out, "I just made a boyfriend …"
"Boyfriend?" Grandma was stunned.
"..." "Yes!" Lin Wan Bai nodded, since they had already begun, he could only continue, "It's definitely not a married man! He has a very high position in the company and his family background is also not bad. He knows my situation and that's why he gave me money to come to an emergency! "
Other than the two of them having a good relationship, the rest wasn't a lie.
Her grandmother looked at her for a long time before she finally stopped crying. "How old are you?"
"Thirty …"
"How many children?"
"I'm not too sure about that yet …"
"To be able to help you in times of trouble in such a short period of time, your character must be pretty good!" Hearing that, Grandma nodded in approval, then looked at her seriously, "Little White, we can't just casually receive favors from others. This money must be paid off in the future!"
"Alright." Lin Wan Bai heaved a sigh of relief.
After a false alarm to calm Grandma, she left the hospital with relief.
However, she did not know whether she was lying to Huo Chang Yuan in front of her grandmother, but when she received his call at night, she felt a little guilty.
