Chapter 9 Grandma
Bai Qi took out the key and opened the door of the old building.
With a creak, a kind voice came from the room: "Xiao Bai is back?"
Bai Qi walked into the room: "Yeah."
The gray-haired old man brought out a bowl of steaming food from the kitchen: "Grandma thought it was time for you to come back, so she specially cooked a bowl of dumplings for you. Thank you for your hard work today."
Bai Qi took the initiative to take it: "The doctor told you not to work."
"It's not a tiring thing!" Ning Hui smiled lovingly, "It would be uncomfortable if I had to stay in bed all day."
Bai Qi put the dumplings on the table and went to look through the medicine in the drawer: "Are you almost finished with the medicine? I'll ask my friend to bring some more."
"Don't go to so much trouble. After finishing the medicine, grandma will go to the hospital to buy it herself."
It’s weird that there is one in the hospital! Bai Qi was noncommittal: "He is coming to City C, so he can bring some with him."
"It's so bad to trouble your friends all the time."
"He just had a lot of time to spare."
Ning Hui knew that this granddaughter had a one-size-fits-all character, so she smiled helplessly: "You..." and then asked, "Are you going to register for school today?"
"Yes." Bai Qi poured a glass of water for his grandmother, counted out the pills and watched Ning Hui eat them before going back to the dining table to eat dumplings.
"Studying must be hard."
"It's okay, I haven't had much class."
"..."
Chat genius!
Although it was the truth, Ning Hui still felt heartbroken after hearing this: "Xiaobai, do you plan to continue like this?"
Bai Qi nodded naturally: "What else?"
Ning Hui sat next to her: "It's been so long since Wan Wan happened, you..."
Bai Qi's eyes turned cold, and his slender jade-like hand held the spoon in the air.
Ning Hui sighed: "Wanwan doesn't want to see you like this."
Bai Qi's delicate face was very cold, his long eyelashes slowly lowered, and he changed the topic: "I went to audition today."
"Audition?"
"Yeah." Bai Qi said calmly, "Wanwan's favorite novel back then, she said that if it was made into a TV series in the future, she would fight for the role of the heroine in it."
When Wan Wan was mentioned, Ning Hui's face softened a little: "She likes these..."
"However, the heroine has long been confirmed."
"..."
"It's Lu Xinran."
Ning Hui suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Lu Xinran... is... your mother's biological daughter?"
"Correction." Bai Qi raised his beautiful eyes and said very calmly, "I have no mother."
Ning Hui seemed to be choked by the air, and she spoke after a long while, "Oh, you came here after Wanwan's accident, and you temporarily used her identity... It took a long time, but I forgot about it... Of course she is not your mother , but she is Wanwan’s adoptive mother after all.”
There was no fluctuation in Bai Qi's tone: "That is Wan Wan's matter. If she wakes up and is willing to call Ning Pei mom again, I don't mind. As for me -" She smiled softly, with an inexplicable expression. Cold light, "She doesn't deserve it."
Ning Hui shook her head and sighed: "Of course she doesn't deserve it! If I hadn't been eligible for adoption back then, how could I have included Wanwan in her name? Become her daughter? It's just, Xiaobai... you have worked so hard at a young age, if If you have a backer... No matter how bad Ning Pei is, the Lu family is behind her. She called me some time ago and asked you... Oh, would you like to go to the capital? "
"No." Bai Qi refused simply.
Ning Hui already knew this was the result: "I didn't agree either, but she said she would come to C City to see you in a few days."
Bai Qi raised his lips: "Are you afraid that she will find out that I am not Wanwan?"
"You and Wanwan are three years apart, and we don't look alike. Even if we haven't seen each other for several years, how can Ning Pei not recognize her?"
Ning Hui took a breath, her eyes full of worries about the future, "In the past few years, grandma's health has become worse and worse, and she may leave one day. You are helpless, if you are willing to leave with Ning Pei, at least The Lu family will take care of you."
