Mrs. Zhao managed to calm her grandson down, and the two of them didn’t stand in front of the large hospital for long before Bai Xue stord out angrily. When she saw the two standing there, Mrs. Zhao thought she might say a few harsh words again, but surprisingly, Bai Xue abandoned her previous fierce deanor, gave Mrs. Zhao and her grandson a hard glare, then turned around and walked out of the hospital.
"Look at how nice she used to be; how did she turn into this over the years? No wonder Ye Ling’s drifted away from her. Now that she’s causing a scene with Ye Qian, I’m afraid the bond between mother and daughter won’t last long," Mrs. Zhao sighed as she watched Bai Xue’s silhouette.
"I wonder how things are with Ye Ling? Grandma, I’ll take you ho first, then I’ll co back to the hospital," Zhao Guodong thought of suggesting he call Ye Ling first, but after reconsidering, he decided to escort his grandma ho before doing anything else.
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Let’s go, take back to the compound. I know you won’t feel at ease if I go alone. After you send back, return to the hospital. By then, Zhiyuan should be there. You should have a proper talk with him and make ands, understand?"
"Grandma, things have reached this point; what more could I stir up? Don’t worry, I’m already grown up, and after being in the military for so long, I know what’s important. You don’t need to worry about ," Zhao Guodong didn’t find his grandma’s nagging annoying at all.
The grandson’s filial piety naturally made the old lady happy. Thinking of her grandson ntioning he already has soone to marry and that they would co ho after the 15th, she couldn’t help but feel joyous. It was a rare mont she showed a smile, patting her grandson’s shoulder before moving forward.
At that mont, Zhao Guodong felt slightly embarrassed by his grandma’s smile, his face warming a bit as he caught up with her, and his thoughts drifted inexplicably to his own matters with Liu Nan.
On this side, Zhao Guodong dropped his grandma ho, then hurriedly left the compound, found a public phone booth, picked up the phone, and dialed directly.
Because it was the New Year, and with Ye Ling being pregnant, she often stayed ho during the day with nothing much to do. When Zhao Guodong called, Ye Ling didn’t pick up imdiately; instead, the other side asked him to call back in two minutes before hanging up.
Over at Da XingAn Ridge, Ye Ling was called into the office area by an employee. As soon as she entered, the phone rang again. She picked it up happily, expecting it to be Shen Bin, but couldn’t help smiling when she heard Zhao Guodong’s voice instead.
"How do you have the ti to call ? Isn’t your company busy now? How’s your grandma’s health? I haven’t had the chance to call her from here, and I can’t use the company’s phone. I do miss her," having stayed at the Zhao Family compound for years, Ye Ling had grown very fond of the old lady.
Listening to the cheerful voice on the other end, Zhao Guodong inexplicably felt his heavy heart becoming lighter, as if the weight on his body was lifting.
Ye Ling, after a while of talking and receiving no response from the other side, restrained her smile and asked, "Why aren’t you speaking? Did sothing happen? This isn’t like you. Usually, when you call , you don’t let say much and keep talking until you hang up, leaving with little to say. Why so quiet today?"
"Ye Ling, did you know Shen Bin ca back?" Zhao Guodong asked but felt his question was sowhat off, so he clarified, "I an, do you know why he ca back?"
A few days ago, Ye Ling had discussed Shen Bin’s return with her father and sensed it wasn’t due to her father-in-law’s health issues. Now, Zhao Guodong’s sudden call and silence before ntioning Shen Bin’s return made it evident to Ye Ling that his call was about Shen Bin.
"I know," Ye Ling cleverly didn’t deny her knowledge and casually asked, "Your tone doesn’t sound good; did sothing happen over there? Don’t hide it from . You calling out of the blue and saying nothing will only keep worried. Tell what’s going on so I can relax. After all, I’m pregnant now, and you wouldn’t want anxious about this while carrying my baby, would you?"
