Chapter 207: Hidden Well
As soon as Gu Bai said this, his father's face instantly became serious. He glared at Gu Bai and said in a pretended angry tone, "You little bastard, I'm still alive. Can you let your mother find another man?"
Mom was amused by Dad's words. She patted Dad's hand and comforted him, "Okay, I know you are jealous. But I was just joking. With you around, how can I have the heart to look for someone else?"
After Gu Bai comforted his parents, he gently knocked on the door of my room. I responded with a hint of fatigue in my voice that was difficult to conceal, "Come in."
Gu Bai held a cup of warm milk in his hand, gently opened the door, walked to the table, and carefully placed the milk on it. Then, he sat down beside my bed, his eyes full of curiosity and concern: "I just vaguely heard you and Dad talking about the 'Gu's bankruptcy'. Are you investigating something?"
I stared at my brother in front of me, feeling mixed emotions, and remained silent for a long time. After some careful consideration, I realized that it was indeed quite difficult to undertake this investigation task alone, and perhaps having a helper would be more helpful.
Finally, I slowly opened my mouth, my voice low and firm: "I want to find out whether our family's bankruptcy is related to Jiang Yichen."
Gu Bai heard this and a trace of surprise flashed across his face: "Why do you suspect Jiang Yichen? Do you have any solid evidence?"
I shook my head gently, with a hint of helplessness in my eyes: "I don't have any solid evidence yet, but the investigation is still ongoing. The most important thing is that the project that our family originally had has now fallen into Jiang Yichen's hands."
Gu Bai fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, although he still had doubts, he had to admit the complexity of reality: "To be honest, I don't think this matter has anything to do with Jiang Yichen. Even if the project is in his hands now, it doesn't mean anything."
"In fact, I had similar doubts when our family first went bankrupt." I sighed and continued, "For this reason, I also conducted in-depth research from multiple angles."
Although Gu Bai expressed his opinion, we also have no solid evidence to prove that my family’s bankruptcy has nothing to do with Jiang Yichen.
In the afternoon, I returned to the Jiang family, just as my grandmother and the servants were preparing to go out for a physical examination. When my grandmother saw me, she immediately smiled kindly and asked with concern, "Why didn't you stay at home for a while? Why did you come back so soon?"
I smiled and replied, "Grandma, I suddenly remembered that you had to go to the hospital for a checkup today, so I came back early. Besides, I can go home anytime, the most important thing is to be with you."
After hearing this, grandma nodded with satisfaction, clapped my hands, and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I'll be happier if you accompany me."
Grandma has been in a wheelchair for some time, and our whole family sincerely hopes that today's hospital examination will bring some positive changes and perhaps improve Grandma's physical condition.
Along the way, in order to ease my grandmother's nervousness, I told her many interesting things, which made her laugh a lot, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
When we arrived at the hospital and saw the doctors and nurses busy conducting various examinations on my grandmother, I held my breath and stayed by her side nervously and attentively.
After the doctor finished the examination, I anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is my grandma's condition now?"
The doctor carefully examined the results of the grandmother's examination, adjusted his glasses, and said softly: "The patient's condition is gradually improving. She can now start some simple rehabilitation training, which will be beneficial to her physical recovery. However, she must pay attention to proper rest, otherwise, her heart problem may not be able to bear it."
I squatted down, looked at grandma at eye level, and asked softly, "Grandma, we've already done a lot of activity today. How about I come to do rehabilitation with you another day? I'm mainly worried that your heart can't take it."
Grandma nodded lovingly and said, "Let's do as you say. However, we can go take a look at the rehabilitation machine first, and then decide whether to do rehabilitation."
I looked at my grandmother's slightly cloudy but shining eyes, and I knew that deep down she must be eager to stand up again. This desire made her so eager to go to the rehabilitation center to take a walk and have a look.
So I pushed the wheelchair and took my grandma to the rehabilitation center.
There are professional nurses here to take us around and show us around.
I didn't expect to meet Lin Nan in the rehabilitation center.
She was holding a file bag tightly in her hand and looked hurried.
She bumped into me accidentally.
I subconsciously helped the other person.
"Thanks."
The cold voice caught my attention.
"Lin Nan?"
I shouted in surprise.
Lin Nan obviously didn't expect to run into us here. He was slightly startled, then he greeted us warmly: "Hello, Grandma Jiang! Oh, isn't this Xiao Nan? I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"
Grandma also had a happy look on her face. She took Lin Nan's hand and started talking to him cordially.
I stood aside, watching them chatting happily, and felt inexplicably awkward.
Just as my thoughts were in a tizzy, grandma suddenly took my hand and introduced her to Lin Nan: "This is my granddaughter-in-law, you don't know her yet, right?"
Lin Nan relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Grandma, I know her. She is Jiang Yichen's wife, Gu Mo, right?"
Hearing this, grandma smiled even more happily: "Yes, yes, that's her."
Then, grandma warmly invited Lin Nan to her home for dinner: "It's such a good fate, let's have dinner at home today!"
Lin Nan politely declined: "Thank you, grandma. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't go. I will visit you another day when I have time."
After Lin Nan left, grandma turned to look at me, her eyes full of warmth and comfort: "Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen have a very good relationship, and she has indeed helped Jiang Yichen a lot in his career. Child, don't mind Lin Nan's existence. She is a good person and a capable child."
I lowered my head, muttered in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "I have no right to mind..."
Grandma patted the back of my hand gently and said softly, "Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen, they are just classmates abroad, at best they are comrades-in-arms. Jiang Yichen is an upright boy, I believe in him, he will not do anything to let you down."
When I heard that, a look of surprise appeared on my face. I looked up at my grandmother with doubt in my eyes. I thought to myself, Jiang Yichen kept it a secret so well that my grandmother didn't even know that he was engaged to Lin Nan.
"I know grandma, don't worry!"
