Chapter 208 Transformation
Professor Zhao quickly answered the phone. When he heard that Lin Xi meant that he could hide in her space, he smiled and said, "No need. My brother's family and I are now under the protection of the army and have arrived at a military shelter in Zhengcheng in advance."
"The country has protected us scientists and our families. Almost all the professors at the school are here. Oh, and your Dean Xu is here too. I was just chatting with him."
Lin Xi asked, "Is Dean Xu okay? I was just about to call him."
Professor Zhao smiled and said, "That's good. The conditions here are pretty good. Each family can get a room."
"I told him about you saving me, and the old man almost cried. He said he had wronged you."
"He said he criticized you harshly at the time and made you feel wronged."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, I know he is doing this for my own good."
Professor Zhao paused and said, "Anyway, we are all fine. You don't have to worry. When the disaster is over, we old guys can still contribute to the country."
Lin Xi choked up a little and whispered, "Then you, Dean Xu, and your family, please take care of yourselves. I hope we will meet again one day."
Professor Zhao was optimistic. "Yes, I believe we will meet again."
After hanging up the phone, I saw Qi Mo stand up from the sofa. His voice was very low, "It's time, let's go."
Lin Xi checked her phone and saw that it was already half past eight, but Bai Lan had not come down yet.
She hesitated for a moment. "Why don't you go up and take a look? Didn't she just come back from the nursing home? Maybe she doesn't have a cell phone and doesn't know the time."
Qi Mo was silent.
But he didn't move.
Bai Lan stood at the corner of the stairs, carrying a suitcase, tears streaming down her face.
She quickly wiped away her tears, held her head high and walked down.
Lin Xi faced the stairs and smiled faintly at her.
Then he gently touched Qi Mo and said, "Go help your mother carry the suitcase."
Qi Mo turned around and saw Bai Lan carrying an oversized suitcase and moving down the stairs.
He quickly stepped forward and took Bai Lan's box. "Let's go. Grandpa and grandma are with me."
Bai Lan paused for a moment, then strode forward again.
Three people got in the car and drove towards home.
Arriving downstairs in the residential complex, Qi Mo took the box down and pointed at his car, "Put it in your space. If you leave it outside, I'm afraid it will be stolen."
Lin Xi nodded. Qi Mo’s car was better than the G-Class. It was almost an armored vehicle and would definitely be useful in the future.
She raised her hand and put the car into the space.
Bai Lan was stunned beside him.
Although she heard that the world had changed, it was just hearsay.
Her cell phone was confiscated at Qingxi Sanatorium and she was only released yesterday, so she had no time to buy a new cell phone.
I haven't seen any videos of people with super powers online either.
She only heard that the outside world had changed, but she had no specific understanding of what superpowers were or what the world had become.
Lin Xi's move really shocked her.
She suddenly understood what Qi Mo said, "I am not worthy of her."
She also suddenly understood where Lin Xi got the confidence from when she said those words to her before.
Power and wealth can disappear at any time, only your own ability will stay with you for a lifetime.
Qi Mo opened the door and Bai Lan walked in.
The old man and the old lady were sitting in the living room, and they all felt a little uncomfortable when they saw each other.
The old lady said a faint greeting, "You're here."
Qi Mo pulled the suitcase and said softly, "Mom, come with me and let me see your room."
Bai Lan had a strange feeling. This was her son's home, and her son's current actions were to accept her as his mother and integrate her into his family.
The son is the master of the house.
She is not.
She followed Qi Mo in in a daze.
Qi Mo brought her into the bedroom, closed the door, and said seriously: "Grandpa and grandma will live with us in the future."
"From now on, all the household chores, cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the two elderly people will be left to you."
"I'll help you when I have time."
"Do you think it's okay?"
Bai Lan's lips moved, and after a long while, he nodded, "Okay."
She lowered her head again. "But I don't know anything."
Qi Mo sighed, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, you can learn it slowly."
"The world has changed. No one can live a life of luxury. Everyone has to rely on themselves to survive."
"Those of us with special abilities can face the risks outside, while those without special abilities need to take care of things at home."
"In the future, there will probably be labor in the space, such as growing crops and raising pigs. Everyone will definitely need to participate in these."
Bai Lan was just about to say that it was impossible for her to go to the fields.
When the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly realized that things were no longer the same as before. She was now a good-for-nothing who had to be supported by her son!
In other words, she is a burden!
The numbers on her bank card are really just numbers now.
She sat in the room all day and never thought that Qi Mo would come to pick her up.
Given the relationship between mother and son, she thought Qi Mo wished she would die sooner.
She nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I will do it."
Qi Mo was relieved to see that Bai Lan was cooperating. "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"I'll go fry you a steak."
Then he turned and walked out.
Bai Lan slowly sat down beside the bed, and for some reason some past events came to her mind.
Qi Mo has been taken care of by nannies and servants at home since he was a child, and she rarely even hugs Qi Mo.
From the age of three, she asked him to learn many things so that he could inherit the family property in the future.
Especially after she knew that Qi Yunjiang had an illegitimate child, she kept pressuring Qi Mo that he must be outstanding, and not just ordinary outstanding, her son must be a hundred times better than the illegitimate child!
Qi Mo had no childhood. When he was ten years old, he protested for the first time and received support from the two elders of the Qi family, who sent him abroad.
From then on, she was always worried that her son would get out of her control.
She remembered Qi Mo's question, "Are you really doing this for my own good? You're actually doing it all for yourself!"
She couldn't help but shudder.
As she was lost in thought, Qi Mo came over and knocked on her door. "The steak is ready, come out and eat."
Bai Lan was so hungry that he opened the door and walked out.
The dining room was set with a steak, a glass of hot milk, and a plate of cut fruit.
She lowered her head and cut the steak silently.
As Bai Lan ate, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Qi Mo has grown up, but as his mother, she has never cooked a meal for him.
Unexpectedly, she ate the meal cooked by her son first.
At this moment, she really felt like a lunatic. She pushed such a good son away with her own hands and almost lost him.
