"Whispering about what over there!" Grandma Shi glared with her aged eyes. "I don’t even need to look back to know you bunch of little rabbits are badmouthing !"
Tang Jingming imdiately offered an ingratiating smile, "How could that be possible, Grandma? We were just praising you, saying that Grandpa Shi must see sothing exceptional in you to have loved you for so many years."
With that statent, Grandma Shi’s complexion visibly improved.
However, at the sa ti, Tang Jingming also received disdainful looks from those around him.
Not shad at all, Tang Jingming seriously said, "One must be flexible."
The door to the hospital room was quickly opened, and the doctor, who had been removing his stethoscope and was startled by the crowd, said, "This many people?"
Grandma Shi was the first to rush up. Although the old lady had aged, her excitent seed to be far healthier than Bai Yuejie’s, and she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my grandson?"
Grandpa Shi followed closely behind Grandma Shi, also looking at the doctor with a concerned expression, filled with worry and expectation.
The doctor said, "The patient is very weak right now, though his condition has stabilized, but with so many of you... are you trying to wear him out?"
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Grandma Shi quickly said, "These are all my grandson’s friends, who ca to show their concern when they heard he had woken up."
"Caring is one thing, but he shouldn’t have so many visitors; he needs to rest quietly. You all should co back later," the doctor firmly issued the eviction order, then asked, "Who is the patient’s junior sister?"
Shi i?
Hearing this na suddenly from the doctor, everyone exchanged glances.
The doctor’s gaze circled the room, finally resting on the sole young woman present.
Bai Yuejie gave a slight, polite smile but did not respond.
Grandma Shi showed so displeasure and said, "Why are you asking about Shi i?"
"The first thing the patient did upon waking up was to ask for his junior sister; she must be soone very important to him," the doctor explained.
"What junior sister, junior brother, Shi i is a person’s na, with the ’square’ radical in ’Shi’ and the ’woman’ radical in ’i,’" Grandma Shi said with so dissatisfaction. "I’m going to see him."
The doctor did not stop her, but quickly said, "He’s still not very lucid right now, so please don’t speak loudly when you enter, don’t encourage him to talk too much, and let him get so proper rest."
Grandpa Shi also spoke up, "I am his grandfather; may I go in?"
The doctor hesitated a mont, then looked at Bai Yuejie, "You may go in, but it would be best not to speak to him. But isn’t this the person the patient wanted to see?"
Just as Bai Yuejie was about to speak, soone else said, "No."
Bao Gui spoke up indifferently, "Shi i isn’t here."
Bai Yuejie felt sowhat embarrassed for a mont.
The doctor seed disappointed, "You had better bring her over; it should be beneficial for the patient’s recovery."
After speaking, the doctor began to usher people out, "Go on, co back when he’s shown so improvent in a few days."
With no other choice, everyone left one after the other.
A bunch of gifts were left at the door for Yun Du to handle.
Bao Gui lingered till the end. Seeing that Bai Yuejie showed no intention of leaving, he said, "It seems you have a pretty good resilience."
Bai Yuejie stiffened, turned her head, and seeing the implicit mockery on Bao Gui’s face, felt very uncomfortable, asking, "What do you an?"
"Never mind, it’s as if I never said anything," Bao Gui shrugged his shoulders and walked out.
Bai Yuejie felt even more uncomfortable, as if there were needles on her back, extrely uneasy.
