In the taxi, Han Xiaotao was so nervous that her hands were almost twisted into knots, and her heart was beating wildly.
Why is grandpa in the hospital? What happened during the time she left? Judging from Xiaoxiao's tone, it should be no small matter.
Cui Minhao turned his head and looked at her. She frowned, which seemed to have upset his heart. He held her cold hand and said, "It'll be okay. Don't scare yourself."
Han Xiaotao couldn't calm down in her heart and couldn't even force a smile. She could only lower her head and pray. As soon as she got out of the taxi, she went straight to the inpatient department to check the ward number. When she arrived at the door of the ward, Tang Xiao smiled. Han Xiaotao stepped forward to catch the smile.
Xiao Xiao’s arm hurriedly asked: “Xiao Xiao, what happened? Where is grandpa?”
Xiaoxiao patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Han is inside, taking a rest." He glanced inside.
Han Xiaotao looked in through the crack in the door. Grandpa was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, his face looking a little pale. Han Xiaotao's eyes turned red and she murmured, "Why is grandpa in the hospital?"
"Last week you went to camp for training. Grandpa Han was at home by himself, but he had a heart attack again. Fortunately, my mother asked me to send dinner over and quickly gave Grandpa Han some medicine. I originally wanted to accompany him to the hospital for a physical examination.
He refused, but who knew that he did it again while working in the garden today, so everyone sent him to the hospital together. First aid measures were taken, and the doctor said it was nothing serious. He just had to have a good rest and take medicine on time.
"Tang Xiaoxiao patted Han Xiaotao on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
After hearing these words, Han Xiaotao not only did not feel relaxed, but instead blamed herself. "It's all my stupidity. I knew grandpa was not in good health and still left home for so long. What should I do if there is something wrong with grandpa? Han Xiaotao
, you idiot!" She slapped her head hard twice, not caring that it was also a part of her body.
She didn't feel distressed, but Cui Minhao felt distressed. He took her hand and said, "Okay, okay, things are like this, there's no point in blaming yourself. Anyway, the doctor said it'll be fine, so you can feel more at ease."
." He knew the importance of grandpa to her. Even though she mentioned it very little, her dependence and love for grandpa were naturally revealed from her words. But he didn't know how to comfort her at this time to alleviate the pain.
In fact, her self-blame might not have happened if he hadn't insisted on getting her into Sakura Road High School. If he really wanted to get to the root of the problem, he would rather Han Xiaotao blamed him, that would be better than torturing herself.
.
At this time, Han Xiaotao didn't bother to get angry with Cui Minhao. She walked to her grandfather and sat down, tucking him in the quilt. She said with red eyes: "Grandpa, it's not good for Xiaotao to leave grandpa at home alone. I know.
Wrong, you have to get well soon, Xiao Tao will always be by Grandpa's side." She put her head on Grandpa's chest, and her emotions stabilized when she heard Grandpa's steady heartbeat.
That way of snuggling reminded Cui Minhao of the words she said that day at the vacation home. Because she always leaned on her grandfather's chest like this, that's why she said that to him, right? If his arms could give her and her grandfather
With the same warmth and peace of mind, he was willing to remain motionless and let her rely on her all the time. If time could go back to that point in time, maybe he should be braver. He seemed to suddenly understand his own heart, and when Han Xiaotao asked him at the beach
Questions - those troublesome questions that he was trying to figure out in the rain. In fact, the answers were already obvious. It was just that he was so proud that he refused to lower his head. Only when he saw her sad, did he realize those frowns that touched his heart.
A smile turns out to be the butterfly effect of love.
Tang Xiaoxiao also sighed. She understands everything between the grandfather and grandson best, so she can understand Xiaotao's mood best. They are each other's only relatives in this world, and they are also their spiritual sustenance. No one can lose the other.
In this case, she became more and more helpless, because she knew that she could not help.
There was silence in the room, but the door creaked.
Cui Minhao turned his head and saw that the person walking in was Bai Ziling! He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was dazzled, and stared at the person for a long time before he was sure that it was that face. But why was Bai Ziling here?
Even Han Xiaotao had an unexpectedly confused expression on his face, staring blankly at Bai Ziling who was standing in front of him.
"you……"
Only Tang Xiaoxiao walked up to greet Bai Ziling in a familiar manner. "Are you here?"
Bai Ziling smiled and nodded, handed the invoice to Tang Xiaoxiao, and said, "I have already paid the medical fees and hospitalization fees. I just want the elderly to rest in peace and cultivate themselves."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Grandpa Han's granddaughter is already here." Tang Xiaoxiao said, pulling Han Xiaotao over. Because he didn't know that they had known each other for a long time, he introduced him enthusiastically. "Her name is Han Xiaotao, and she just came from Mingzhu.
Come back from the island." She turned to Xiao Tao again and said, "Thanks to him this time. When Grandpa Han fell ill in Taoyuan, he forgot to bring the medicine bottle with him. Fortunately, he had Suxiao Jiuxin Pills with him and helped to send Grandpa Han to the hospital.
I came to the hospital and paid the medical bills in advance, so I really have to thank her." Although Tang Xiaoxiao said these words with a tone of fanatical admiration, it was all true.
Han Xiaotao bowed to Bai Ziling in embarrassment and said, "I'm really troubling you this time." Then she looked apologetic, probably remembering that she didn't look good to others at Sapphire Department Store last time, but they did.
He helped himself over and over again. Thinking about it this way, Han Xiaotao also felt embarrassed. "Give me your bank account number, and I will pay you back the medical expenses as soon as possible."
Bai Ziling laughed and said: "I just passed by and helped a helpless old man, it was just a little effort. But I didn't expect him to be your grandfather, Xiaotao. It seems that we are really destined. Even God allowed us to meet in such a situation. If so.
If so, don’t mention medical expenses and the like, just treat it as help from a friend.”
"No!" Han Xiaotao quickly shook her head. Although it feels very unkind, she cannot accept unwarranted gifts from others. "I will definitely pay you back this money. Although I am not rich, I will not owe you anything."
Whatever others do, I will try my best to return it to you."
"Don't be stubborn with her. This girl is famous for her bad temper. You can't win her back." Tang Xiaoxiao tried to smooth things over. In fact, it was just to make the handsome guy in front of her look at her more.
"Actually speaking, it's all your own credit, Xiaotao. You also have a share in saving grandpa." Bai Ziling said with a smile.
"Me?" Han Xiaotao looked at him puzzled.
"Remember the last time you helped Grandpa Liu in the communication room? You took out the Suxiao Jiuxin Pills from your bag. At that time, I was thinking, if you carry a bottle of Jiuxin Pills with you, who knows when?
I can help the endangered people, so I bought several bottles and put them with me. I didn’t expect that this time I would be able to help Xiaotao, your biological grandfather.” Bai Ziling raised her eyebrows, looking flattering.
Han Xiaotao didn't know whether she should feel lucky for such praise, but she still couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if this is the case, we will pay you back the medical expenses." Cui Minhao's cold words suddenly turned the already slightly awkward conversation into a cold one.
Several people looked towards him, showing different expressions.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Han Xiaotao asked in a low voice, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
However, Cui Minhao held Han Xiaotao in his arms and said to Bai Ziling as if he was declaring his sovereignty: "Since she is my girlfriend, of course her grandfather is also my grandfather. I should also take care of him. For a little medical expenses, we can
If you can still afford it, your kindness will not be wasted on such things."
Han Xiaotao was stunned when she heard this. It smelled so strong! Especially the last sentence, it felt weird. Why is this guy Cui Minhao so crazy? He just wanted to help with good intentions. Even if he didn't like him, there was no need to be so mean.
Right? After all, Bai Ziling also helped her save her grandfather. If it was really for her sake, she should really thank Bai Ziling. Han Xiaotao struggled twice, trying to push Cui Minhao's arm away, but he didn't move at all.
Like a mountain, even his face was expressionless, and he didn't pay attention to Han Xiaotao's protesting eyes.
"What?" Tang Xiaoxiao was even more confused next to him. He had seen Cui Minhao sending Han Xiaotao home once before. Although he was very suspicious, he never really thought that Han Xiaotao would have any unusual relationship with this handsome guy.
However, I seemed to have heard the word "girlfriend" just now? Cui Minhao, the heir to the world's third largest financial group, said that her little girl Han Xiaotao was his girlfriend? After figuring this out, Tang Xiaoxiao almost fainted.
I don’t know if Bai Ziling is really good-tempered or has ulterior motives, but there is still a smile on his face. Even if Cui Minhao said such words, he is not annoyed. "If you are not married yet, you probably can't be so absolute, right?
?" Bai Ziling spoke calmly, focusing only on the sentence "Of course her grandfather is also my grandfather." However, this sentence was also the sentence Cui Minhao wanted to emphasize. As long as he refuted it, it would be enough to make Cui Minhao's overlord theory untenable.
What's more, there is another layer of meaning in this sentence, which is full of naked provocation. What Cui Minhao heard seems to be: since he is not married yet, even if he is his girlfriend now, things may change.
A ball of anger almost burst out from his chest. Cui Minhao stepped forward and grabbed Bai Ziling's collar. He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we will get married, so we don't need you to be a clown in the middle."
Bai Ziling stared into Cui Minhao's eyes with a sly look and confrontation. "Yes, there is nothing that your young master Cui wants to do or want. However, in front of me now, this
One set won’t work.”
Seeing that something was wrong, Han Xiaotao quickly pulled the two people away, stamped her feet and said, "Okay, what are you going to do? Grandpa is still resting, so don't cause trouble."
For Han Xiaotao's sake, Cui Minhao did not target Bai Ziling further, but that look just now made him feel something was wrong.
Me now?
Yes, this is what's wrong! Bai Ziling's eyes clearly said: Don't you remember me?
But where and when did I meet this person? Even his name is so familiar...
