Bai Yajing knew what he was worried about, and patted his hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, I'm not the type to sit idly by and wait to die. Since he wants to destroy me, I won't let him have his way."
If he had restrained himself or shown any consideration for her reputation today, and hadn't caused such a scene at the gate, she wouldn't be so angry.
This scumbag has never cared about his daughter.
Since that's the case, don't blame her.
"Sigh! Actually, it's not really a matter of whether it's ruined or not. You know, that idiot is muddle-headed and stupid. I guess he was completely blinded by anger and greed."
He may no longer care about Xu Jiahui, but he still cherishes and loves his daughter Bai Yazhu.
"I guess he knew that the mother and daughter were dead and thought you were the killer, so he was furious."
Besides, he's currently living a miserable and destitute life. Now that he knows you married into the Xiao family in the capital, he wants to come and ask you to take care of him in his old age!
Old Master Bai felt utterly exhausted, and his energy and spirits suddenly waned.
He knew his son's character perfectly well. It was one thing that he didn't care about his first wife and daughter, but it was also another that he was extremely muddle-headed and greedy!
"Grandpa, I may have been born without any parental ties, and I've long since come to terms with it."
You don't need to feel sorry for me. I let him go before because of you, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate him hurting me time and time again!
He slandered me today, and he's been manipulated by someone with ulterior motives. My fate is predictable. So, Grandpa..."
Old Master Bai knew what she wanted to say.
He waved his hand wearily, "I know, I understand. But, my dear, you can't bear the stigma of patricide."
This kind of reputation will crush you and your children. Think carefully; there are other ways to shut someone up!
In this day and age, reputation is incredibly important! Especially for a family of the Xiao family's stature.
He really didn't want his granddaughter to be dragged into the mud because of that good-for-nothing!
Bai Yajing was naturally aware of this as well; everything done leaves a trace!
Since she can't just kill him, she needs to think of a better way...
The old man was relieved to see that she had taken his advice. Using fine porcelain to break a stubborn rock is the most unwise thing to do!
He would absolutely not allow his granddaughter and great-grandchildren to be tainted by such a mess of mud.
Bai Yajing could understand her grandfather's feelings. With his son and granddaughter acting like enemies, it was no wonder he, as an elder, couldn't feel at ease!
Seeing that he was really tired, she gently coaxed him to go back to his room to rest.
After taking a shower, Xiao Che dried his wet hair and sat down at the dining table, finishing the entire bowl of noodles and soup in a few bites.
His grandparents wouldn't let him tidy up and urged him to go inside and rest.
Bai Yajing was waiting for him in the room; the first-aid kit was already prepared.
He saw this scene as soon as he came in, and felt inexplicably guilty. He had promised her before leaving that he would take care of himself.
However, this mission on the front lines is arduous and dangerous, and it's impossible to avoid injury.
Especially this time, after learning that China and Country A had eased their tensions, they became even more ruthless.
So, he was seriously injured this time and spent more than half a month recuperating on the front lines before he was feeling better. But then he took on another mission and came back to keep an eye on the situation in Kyoto.
"Honey, it's really okay, you're almost fully recovered..."
Bai Yajing raised her index finger and poked his pectoral muscle, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at him threateningly.
This guy wasn't telling the truth. She's a doctor; she could tell everything just by taking his pulse. You little brat, trying to lie to her!
She was unaware of her appearance; her angry expression was exceptionally beautiful, instantly making Xiao Che nervously swallow. He had been away for so long, and heaven knows how much he missed his wife!
Bai Yajing watched his Adam's apple bob up and down, knowing he had his eye on something, and felt a sense of relief and pleasure.
Let him lie! Humph!
Xiao Che couldn't resist and quickly kissed her on the cheek.
