Chapter 195
Sui Yan pursed her lips and gently shook her head.
She didn't feel the slightest bit aggrieved.
When Zhu Yue said that, it was naturally because she had the confidence that Sui Yan would stay, as she always knew what a big opinion everyone had of someone like Lu Yunling.
The people in the lab unanimously voted in an unprecedented show of solidarity and cooperation.
And the result didn't disappoint Zhu Yue either.
The final result was... Lu Yunling didn't get a single vote, while Sui Yan received full approval.
Lu Yunling could hardly believe it: "You can't do this! The person who sent me here invested a lot of money in the research institute!"
Liu Bing Rong said lazily, "So you're admitting you got in through the back door?"
Bai Heng didn't say a word. When everyone fell silent, he simply made a phone call home: "Hey, brother. Our family has a partnership with the research institute, right? Hmm... A little sister I met outside is being bullied by someone who got in through the back door at the research institute... Yeah, the little kid I told you about before. Alright, we'll double our investment in the research institute... Got it."
He hung up and looked at Lu Yunling coolly: "Anything else?"
Lu Yunling: "..."
She relied on the Qi family, so of course she knew how high the status of the Bai family was in the Capital, and this Bai Heng was the second young master of the Bai family.
Zhu Yue smiled from ear to ear: "The second young master Bai is indeed wealthy and influential. The Bai family's annual funding for the research institute is already more than the Qi family's, and now they're going to double it again."
Bai Heng looked at Sui Yan: "Just... take good care of my little sister, okay?"
The few people present exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously: "Second young master Bai, rest assured, we'll take good care of the little one."
Liu Bing Rong curled his lip, not giving his own family any face: "Our Yan is quite capable, who knows who will be taking care of whom."
Hearing this, Sui Yan's face turned a little red.
Zhu Yue was still standing in front of Sui Yan: "So, with that settled, things are clear now, right?" She said to Lu Yunling, "You can pack up and get ready to leave."
Lu Yunling's face turned pale and then red, but she eventually gritted her teeth and ran out.
Bai Heng watched her back with a cold and slightly mocking expression: "The Qi family is really going downhill, daring to shove even this kind of person into the research institute."
Sui Yan was still sitting in her wheelchair, being pushed around by everyone as she looked around curiously.
Zhu Yue had her hand on Sui Yan's shoulder, gently introducing her to various instruments as they walked.
By the time they had finished the tour and returned to where Sui Yan was currently staying, it was almost 8 p.m.
As soon as Sui Yan was pushed through the door, she shouted loudly: "Ti Zi! I'm back!"
Ti Zi, who had been waiting in the room, instantly dashed out and ran up to Sui Yan, wagging its tail.
Sui Yan hugged Ti Zi's head and rubbed it: "Ti Zi, weren't you scared staying at home by yourself? From now on, I can take you to play at the research institute too!"
Ti Zi nodded earnestly: "Woo woo!"
The military doctor set everything he was carrying on the table: "Yan, come and eat now. You haven't eaten much today."
Bai Heng pushed Sui Yan forward: "Ti Zi, you can play with Yan later. Let's eat first."
Ti Zi obediently took two steps back and followed them, swaying side to side.
With the military doctor and Bai Heng around, Sui Yan was always cheerful, rough-housing with them, though she still couldn't match other children in liveliness and openness. But it was still a big improvement from before.
Only...
Bai Heng finally changed into his military uniform and stood in front of Sui Yan, gently rubbing her head: "Yan, big brother has to go back to the base. Take good care of yourself at home, okay?"
The military doctor also changed into his uniform and gave Sui Yan's legs one last check-up: "They're much better now, but Yan still shouldn't stand for too long. We'll come see you again as soon as we have a break, alright?"
Sui Yan sniffed and tried to act nonchalant: "Okay, goodbye big brothers. I'll take care of myself."
The military doctor was still worried: "We'll have someone restock the fridge every other day, and there are lots of sticky notes all over the house. Auntie Zhu Yue and the others will also come check on you often."
Bai Heng was equally concerned: "Yan still hasn't fully recovered from her injuries, so make sure to change the dressings regularly. I've set alarms on your phone to remind you to take your medicine, okay?"
Sui Yan's eyes welled up with tears. She rubbed her eyes, her voice nasal as she said, "I understand."
Before the military doctor left, he reminded her, "If anything happens, send us a message. Don't call, we won't be able to receive calls. We'll check the messages periodically. Your brother Bai Heng will also have the Bai Family come and support you."
Bai Heng also repeatedly urged, "If anything happens, don't bottle it up on your own, you understand?"
Sui Yan said with a sob in her voice, "If you don't leave soon, I'm going to cry!"
