Tang Jingyuan put one hand in his trouser pocket and glanced at it casually, without any intention of taking it.
Bai Lu thought he didn't believe her, so she raised her hand to emphasize, "I really did it myself! I was in a hurry and accidentally burned my hand."
The red spot on the back of her fair hand was particularly eye-catching, but it failed to move the man in front of her. Bai Lu's eyes darkened and she lowered her head again.
"I know you all don't believe me now. But I won't harm my own brother. He has already warned me, and I promise I won't cause trouble again. At least, let me do something for my brother."
"You don't need to do any of this. The hospital has made all the arrangements. The caregivers and doctors are all professional. Someone will also deliver nutritious meals every day according to the doctor's instructions. You just need to take care of yourself and don't let him worry."
"I'm busy with the coffee shop! I was just too nervous before, but I won't be like that again. Brother Jingyuan, I promise you. No matter how professional a caregiver is, they can never compare to your own family. My brother is so proud, how could he bear to let outsiders see his vulnerability? You should understand this best."
Bai Lu spoke with deep emotion. Tang Jingyuan frowned, pursed his lips and did not answer.
Seeing this, Bai Lu settled for the next best option.
"Even if I don't need to take care of him, at least let me come over to see him every day. I can rest assured knowing his situation. Brother Jingyuan, I beg you!"
In the ward, Bai Yue heard his sister's pleading and softened his heart and gave in.
"Jingyuan, forget it. Let her in!"
He sighed helplessly. A hint of joy flashed across Bai Lu's face. Seeing that Tang Jingyuan no longer objected, she mustered up the courage to come in.
Seeing Bai Yue's legs wrapped in gauze, Bai Lu was so excited that she lost her voice.
"Brother, how...how do you feel?"
Bai Yue smiled bitterly: "How can I feel anything? I'm just a pile of dead meat. Right now, I wish I could feel pain."
"It's okay. It's going to be fine!"
A scene of deep brotherly and sisterly love was being played out in the ward. Lu Anning glanced at it and couldn't tell how much of it was true and how much was false. She glanced at it lightly, turned around and left the room without interacting with Bai Lu.
Gu Yu was worried, so he reminded Bai Lu a few times, asking her to stay as far away from Bai Yue's legs as possible and not to touch them.
As for the soup she brought, it was too salty and ended up flowing into the hospital sewer.
Just as Lu An Ning was about to enter the elevator, Bai Lu chased him out of the ward.
"Brother Jingyuan, sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
Lu An Ning paused and looked at Bai Lu curiously.
Tang Jingyuan asked, "Is there anything else?"
The distant tone made Bai Lu hesitate for a moment, but she still spoke: "I just want to ask when Professor An will come over."
Fearing they might misunderstand, Bai Lu hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean anything else. My brother has already talked to me about this, and I'm aware of my mistakes. I just wanted to apologize to Professor An in person, hoping she can forgive my ignorance. I'm really grateful that she's continued to treat my brother despite past grudges."
Lu Anning looked Bai Lu up and down, unable to tell whether her words were sincere or false.
"The professor has been very busy lately, and we're not sure when she'll be able to come."
“Is that so?”
Bai Lu was a little disappointed. "It doesn't matter. The coffee shop isn't open yet. I have plenty of time. Can I wait here? My brother said the professor will come over to take a look today, right?"
Lu Anning couldn't see through Bai Lu's true intention and responded.
"Let me be frank. If you anger Professor An again, you'll ruin your brother's life. Think carefully about this!"
Lu Anning didn't believe that Bai Lu would change so much because of Bai Yue's words. Whether it was true or false, she gave Bai Yue two chances. If he really couldn't solve the problem of his sister, she would not help him anymore.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid again."
The elevator door slowly closed, and along with it, Bai Lu's smiling face disappeared. Lu An Ning still felt it was unreal, but she couldn't find any flaws in it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Afterwards, An Li told Lu An Ning that Bai Lu had really just apologized to her that day with a sincere attitude, and she no longer made unreasonable demands, which was completely different from the last time.
Of course, this wasn't Bai Lu's complete transformation, but rather the result of weighing the pros and cons. From this perspective, Bai Yue's words were still quite effective in front of Bai Lu.
Later, An Li gradually discovered that Bai Lu was not just apologizing.
She seemed to be entangled by Bai Lu!
When Lu Anning heard this, he was stunned.
"Bai Lu, she's pestering you, what does she want to do?"
Lu An Ning smiled faintly. Didn’t she have many doubts about her mother at the beginning?
"To improve your impression?"
An Li was not sure either, but she gradually discovered that after Bai Lu apologized, she began to look for opportunities to contact An Li. At first, the questions she asked were all about the details of taking care of Bai Yue, and gradually they became related to An Li.
However, she had learned her lesson. Whenever she felt An Li was getting impatient, Bai Lu would immediately change the subject and take the initiative to end the conversation.
"She seems to have checked me."
For example, occasionally saying something about a hobby would just happen to fit An Li's habits. However, she didn't believe there were so many coincidences in the world.
Lu Anning had a bold guess: "To please you? Maybe he just wants to maintain a good relationship with you."
As for what use it is, that depends on what Bai Lu wants to do.
On the winter solstice, Bai Lu's store opened and they were invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. As shareholders, they arrived at the place but did not find the so-called coffee shop. All they saw was an antique health teahouse.
Lu An Ning was a little puzzled. Not far away, Bai Lu came trotting over to greet him.
"Brother Jingyuan, Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhou, the store is over here. We're waiting for you." She pointed to the health teahouse behind her, and everyone was stunned.
Tang Jingyuan was surprised: "Didn't you say coffee shop before?"
