Bai Shao and Bai Xiaolu stayed at the Yan family home until the afternoon. They were originally going to stay for dinner, but a phone call from a waiter at the restaurant made the mother and daughter, along with Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao, leave the Yan family home in a hurry.
It turned out that the waiter delivered dinner to the Bai family's house, but no one answered the doorbell after ringing it for a long time. No one answered the phone either. When he called Chen Jing again, Chen Jing quickly grabbed the spare key and rushed over. When she opened the door, she found Bai Xiangdong lying unconscious on the ground.
Chen Jing, who never calmed down in the face of trouble, panicked on the spot. Fortunately, there was a waiter who took the phone and quickly called He Zhu Qianying.
After receiving the call, Yan Shao immediately called the hospital to have a doctor pick up Bai Xiangdong, while he, Bai Shao and her daughter, and Zhu Qianying rushed directly from the Yan family home to the hospital.
When Zhu Qianying and the others arrived at the hospital, Bai Xiangdong had already been settled, but he had not yet woken up, and the expert appointed by the hospital director was giving him a detailed examination.
Bai Shao and her son Bai Xiaolu sat quietly on the bench in the corridor, with Zhu Qianying sitting with them. Neither of them uttered a sound. Firstly, they were not in the mood, and secondly, they were afraid that saying too much would frighten Bai Xiaolu.
Yan Shao went to find out what was going on, while Chen Jing paced anxiously outside the ward.
Not long after Yan Shao left, he returned with a doctor.
“Ms. Bai, although your father’s condition has not yet been diagnosed, based on the test results from a few days ago, he may experience sudden fainting spells frequently in the future. I suggest you arrange for him to be hospitalized immediately. This will also make it easier for us to study the subsequent treatment and treatment plan.”
After listening to the doctor's words, Bai Shao had no objections and immediately completed the treatment procedures for Bai Xiangdong.
Zhu Qianying was going to accompany Bai Xiaolu, so Bai Shao handled Bai Xiangdong's admission procedures herself. When it was time to pay, Bai Shao took out the bank card that Zhu Qianying had just given her, ready to pay the fees, but the doctor who accompanied her to handle the admission procedures said something.
“Miss Bai, normally your father would need to pay a rather large deposit to complete the hospital admission procedures, but Young Master Yan has instructed that we will waive that. We will settle the payment according to the treatment costs later.”
Bai Shao had already inquired about the deposit at other hospitals, so she didn't refuse when Zhu Qianying handed her the card.
After Bai Shao finished her hospital admission procedures, she returned to the corridor in front of the ward, only to find it deserted. She was startled, but then she heard her father's voice coming from the ward, which relieved her.
Bai Shao wiped her eyes outside before walking into the ward as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, how are you feeling right now?"
When Zhu Qianying saw her friend come in, she gave up the seat closest to her, and pushed her towards Bai Xiangdong while holding her shoulders.
Bai Shao and her daughter Zhu Qianying asked Bai Xiangdong about his health. The doctor advised everyone to leave early so as not to disturb the patient's rest.
Bai Shao hired a male caregiver to take care of Bai Xiangdong 24 hours a day. After all, she had to work and take care of Bai Xiaolu. Even just visiting Bai Xiangdong every day was enough to keep her busy.
After leaving the hospital, in the car, Zhu Qianying made a suggestion to Bai Shao.
"Xiao Shao, you just started your job and you're so busy every day that you can't even guarantee when you'll get off work. How about this, you and Xiao Lu can stay at my place for a while. Anyway, I'll have someone pick up Xiao Lu every day to take her back to the restaurant, and pick her up on the way back from school. As for you, if you get off work early, you can go see Uncle Dong before coming back. If you get off late and find it inconvenient to come over, you can stay at home by yourself. Anyway, you can arrange your own time. Is that okay?"
Bai Shao was already having a headache over this problem and was thinking about whether to hire a nanny to take care of Xiao Lu. When her friend suggested it, she was naturally tempted, but it would be too much trouble for her friend.
Bai Shao was still hesitating when Yan Da Shao, the head of the Yan family, took over Zhu Qianying's words.
"Bai Shao, I think Ying'er's suggestion is pretty good. Anyway, my parents like Xiao Luzi so much, so bringing her over would be a good idea to keep Zizai company. You should think about it."
Needless to say, Chen Jing definitely hoped that Bai Shao would do as her daughter said. To be honest, she had already treated Bai Shao as half a daughter during this period. In addition, she and Bai Xiangdong were like siblings. Even if Bai Xiangdong was not busy, she would not mind if Bai Shao helped take care of Xiao Lu.
"Xiao Shao, Ying'er is right. Don't even think about it, just move in here."
After spending time with the Yan family, Chen Jing realized that although they seemed aloof, they were genuine and less concerned with trivial matters than most people.
So, as a guest herself, she also helped to persuade them.
Considering her own situation and unable to refuse such kindness, Bai Shao lowered her head and stroked the little girl nestled in her arms. "Xiao Lu, what do you think?"
Bai Xiaolu raised her head. "I'm fine. The most important thing is that Mommy is okay and Daddy is okay. Then I'll be okay too!"
So, Bai Shao and her daughter visited the Yan family for the first time during the day, but stayed there as guests that night.
Because she was worried that Bai Xiaolu might not be used to it, Zhu Qianying made a special trip home beforehand to tell Zizai the news. Zizai then said that he would wait for Bai Xiaolu to come over before going to sleep.
After settling Bai Shao and her daughter in, it was nearly midnight. Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao returned to the bedroom. Yan Shao considerately hugged her and kissed her, "You must be exhausted, right?"
Zhu Qianying rested her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and nodded.
"Yes, I'm very tired."
Yan Shao picked her up and asked, "I'll help you wash, okay?" as he walked towards the bathroom.
Zhu Qianying kept her eyes closed and said, "Mmm!"
Logically speaking, there's no need to be coy about this, since Yan Shao always carries her to clean up afterward.
But most of the time, she was in a dazed state. This time, however, it was the first time she had agreed to bathe with him while she was fully conscious.
However, both she and he knew very well that this was not a shared bath at all, but rather, as they said, a helping each other.
The two sat in the bathtub, with Yan Shao sitting behind them and Zhu Qianying in his arms.
Yan Shao could tell that Zhu Qianying was not in a good mood.
"What's wrong? Are you still upset about Uncle Dong?"
Zhu Qianying leaned her head against him and said, "You said that Uncle Dong took Xiao Shao back and still treated her with all his heart. You said that Xiao Yu and I are clearly blood relatives, yet we are so heartless and cruel. It's heartbreaking."
Yan Shao knew that Zhu Qianying had remembered Zhu Zhizhou pleading for her at the restaurant yesterday.
"Fool, that kind of person is a beast and doesn't deserve to be a father at all."
