[Chapter 378: Neither humble nor arrogant]
Lin Yin was a little hesitant about whether to answer it.
After all, she and Bai Qingyan were almost engaged, and Huo Jingze was very hostile to Bai Qingyan.
She was afraid that Huo Jingze would be unhappy.
The call was automatically hung up, and then it called again after a while.
Lin Yin answered the call anyway, "Hello, Qingyan, what can I do for you?"
Bai Qingyan's gentle but anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Rose, my mother is in the hospital. She is not in good condition now. She keeps talking about wanting to see you. Can you come to the hospital?"
Lin Yin held the phone, feeling a little hesitant.
It is reasonable for her to go and see a doctor at this time.
But she was also worried that Huo Jingze would misunderstand. After all, Huo Jingze cared a lot about their relationship.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yin decided to go, "Okay, I'll go right away."
She hung up the phone, sent a message to Huo Jingze to report, then took her daughter out and went to the hospital.
Lin Yin carried her daughter to the hospital, where the smell of disinfectant filled the air.
They found the ward according to the ward number given by Bai Qingyan.
When I opened the door, the ward was a little dark, with only a lamp on the bedside.
Liu Meilan was lying on the hospital bed, her face paler than usual, and her eyes, which had once been bright, seemed a little dull.
Bai Qingyan was sitting on the edge of the bed. When he saw Lin Yin come in, a complex look flashed across his eyes, with gratitude and a hint of unspeakable emotions.
Lin Yin walked to the bedside and called softly, "Auntie, I'm here."
Liu Meilan slowly opened her eyes and saw Lin Yin, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Rose, you are here, I was afraid that you would not come to avoid suspicion."
Lin Yin held Liu Meilan's hand and said, "Auntie, don't say that. You have done me a favor. If you are sick, I will definitely come to see you."
Liu Meilan patted Lin Yin's hand gently and said, "Good boy, your auntie's love for you is not in vain."
Lin Yuan watched curiously from the side and asked in a low voice: "Mom, who is this grandma?"
Lin Yin squatted down and said to Lin Yuan, "This is Grandma Liu, call someone."
Lin Yuan blinked her big eyes and called out sweetly, "Hello, Grandma Liu. Are you sick? I'll give you a kiss and you'll get better soon."
The little guy kissed the back of Liu Meilan's hand.
Liu Meilan showed a look of fondness in her eyes, "Is this your daughter? She's so cute, what's her name?"
Lin Yin smiled and said, "Her name is Lin Yuan."
Liu Meilan reached out and touched Lin Yuan's head. "Yuanyuan, what a nice name."
After chatting with Liu Meilan for a while, Lin Yin felt that she was a little tired, so she stood up and said, "Auntie, take good care of yourself. When you are better, we will have a good chat."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, I'm very happy that you can come."
"Rose, let me take you there." Bai Qingyan stood up, his eyes still on her.
Lin Yin shook her head. "No need, Qingyan, we can just go by ourselves."
She didn't want to have too much contact with Bai Qingyan to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Bai Qingyan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still nodded, "Okay then, be careful on the road."
Lin Yin hugged Lin Yuan and turned around to leave. Just as she reached the door of the ward and her hand had not yet touched the door handle, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A figure appeared at the door and she looked up slightly.
The man looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with his hair combed meticulously. There were traces of time on his face, but his facial features were well-proportioned. Even though he was old, one could still tell that he must have looked good when he was young.
Especially those eyes, they are bright and lively, without any cloudiness that befits his age.
His gaze fell on Lin Yin, and he was slightly stunned when he saw her eyes.
"Dad, you're here." Bai Qingyan shouted.
There was a hint of surprise in Lin Yin's eyes. It turned out that this man was Bai Qingyan's biological father. She heard that he had been living abroad for many years and never came home. She hadn't even seen him during the time she was in Haicheng.
"Hello, Uncle Bai, I'm Lin Yin." She greeted politely.
"Are you Lin Yin?" Bai Jianjun's voice was deep and majestic.
He looked at the woman in front of him, frowning in dissatisfaction, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "I know you, you have had some ties with our Bai family before. But now that you are a married woman, you should no longer have too much involvement with our Bai family."
Lin Yin hugged Lin Yuan tightly in her arms, met Bai Jianjun's gaze, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Uncle Bai, I came here today just because my aunt has been kind to me. I came to visit her and have no other intentions. And I have already made it clear to Qingyan that there will be no more unnecessary exchanges in the future."
Bai Jianjun frowned slightly, his eyes became sharper, "I hope you can keep your word. Our Bai family has its own reputation and status, and we don't want to be talked about because of these trivial matters. What happened between you and Qingyan was originally a short-lived fate. Now that the fate is over, there should be no other involvement."
Lin Yuan felt the tense atmosphere and shrank into Lin Yin's arms with some fear.
Lin Yin gently patted Lin Yuan's back to comfort her, then looked at Bai Jianjun, "Uncle Bai, I understand your concerns, and I don't want to cause trouble to anyone. After this visit to Auntie, I will not take the initiative to contact the Bai family again."
Bai Qingyan was a little anxious, "Dad, don't say that. Rose just came to see Mom. It's not as complicated as you think."
Bai Jianjun glared at Bai Qingyan, "Are you still ignorant? If something is not clear, there will be endless troubles. The Bai family has always valued its reputation. Don't let your stupidity affect the entire Bai family."
After saying that, his gaze returned to Lin Yin again, "Go away. I hope this is the last time I see you in this situation."
Lin Yin nodded, holding Lin Yuan and quickly walked out of the ward.
There were only three members of the Bai family left in the ward.
"What brings you here from abroad? It's so rare that you come to see me." Liu Meilan was lying on the bed, her expression and tone full of sarcasm.
Bai Jianjun glanced at her with a complicated look, "I came back this time, firstly because of your illness, and secondly to deal with some family affairs that I must attend to."
Bai Qingyan frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, why did you treat Rose like that? She just came to see Mom, you are going too far."
Bai Jianjun looked at Bai Qingyan, his eyes became stern, "Qingyan, you are from the Bai family, you can't do things based on feelings. Lin Yin is now the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Huo Jingze is ruthless in the business world. In recent years, even the Jiang family and the Lan family have been suppressed by him. He is also a romantic man who loves his wife as his life. If Lin Yin continues to contact our Bai family, it will only cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand!"
Liu Meilan sneered, "Humph, Qingyan crawled out of my belly, so in your eyes, he is naturally not as important as the family's interests. You certainly can't offend the Huo family for his happiness. If it were..."
"That's enough. Stop talking nonsense." Bai Jianjun interrupted Liu Meilan's sarcasm in a deep voice, "I will arrange a marriage between Qing and Yan as soon as possible. This matter is settled, and no one is allowed to have any doubts."
