Chapter 187 Please add two more seats
Grandma Lin was bewildered. She patted Bai Tiantian's back and asked, "What happened? Who bullied you and Chenchen?"
Bai Tiantian nodded in Grandma Lin's arms, "Chenchen, he..."
"What's wrong with Chenchen?" Grandma Lin asked anxiously, looking at Lin Xi. "Xi Xi, tell me, what happened to your brother?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that Grandpa Song is prejudiced against my brother? He came back to China yesterday and belittled my brother and even tried to break him up with Tian Tian, wanting Tian Tian to marry Song Xu?" Lin Xi said angrily.
"What!" Grandma Lin was shocked. This wasn't just about breaking up Chenchen and Tiantian; even Xixi and Xiaoxu's relationship was being ruined. "Does this old man just not want to see young people being affectionate?"
"I'm so angry!" Grandma Lin slapped the hospital bed. "I'm going to find him right now and give him a piece of my mind."
"Grandma, don't worry," Bai Tiantian said, pressing down on Grandma Lin. "My parents are arriving in Jiangbei today to discuss my engagement with Chenchen. You should come too."
Song Chen had mentioned this to Grandma Lin and wanted her to participate, but she felt it should be handled by the Song family, so she refused.
But when Grandma Lin heard today that the old man from the Song family was going to ruin her grandson's marriage, she couldn't sit still. She had to go and support her grandson.
Everyone else was a junior in front of Grandpa Song and didn't dare to refute him, but she was different. She was also a grandmother and could directly confront him, saying, "I'll go, I'll be discharged right now."
Lin Xi went to ask the doctor if Grandma Lin could be discharged from the hospital. The doctor examined Grandma Lin and concluded that she was fine and could be discharged.
After Lin Xi completed the discharge procedures, considering that her grandmother was still very weak and needed someone to take care of her, she asked the caregiver if she was willing to stay by her grandmother's side to take care of her, and offered to pay her more.
Grandma Lin gets along very well with her two caregivers, and they have endless chats every day.
The two caregivers agreed without hesitation. It's not easy to find an employer like Grandma Lin who is kind-hearted but not good-natured. Miss Lin also offered a high salary. Anyone who didn't go would be a fool.
After picking up Grandma Lin from the hospital, Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian went straight to the styling studio instead of going home, to give Grandma Lin a makeover.
Grandma Lin actually had a good foundation and was a beauty when she was young. However, years of hard work and exposure to the elements made her look older than her actual age.
However, after lying in the hospital for several months, her skin tone has become a bit fairer, but she has lost a lot of weight and doesn't look very healthy.
Her short, gray hair was transformed into a slicked-back style, and with a touch of light makeup, her overall look and complexion instantly improved.
Grandma Lin looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Make my eyebrows sharper, not so curved."
The stylist redrawn Grandma Lin's eyebrows according to her request, and Grandma Lin looked completely different; her eyes became sharp.
"Wow, Grandma, you look amazing!" Bai Tiantian exclaimed from the side.
"Grandma used to be a cadre in her workplace." Lin Xi smiled as she looked at Grandma Lin, but in her heart she sighed at the hardships her grandmother had endured.
She lost her husband in middle age and struggled to raise her son alone, watching him get married and have children. But then a car accident took away her son and daughter-in-law, leaving her to shoulder the burden of the family all by herself.
As her grandson grew up and became a young man, he disappeared again, leaving her with only the six-year-old girl she had taken in.
After all the hardships, we've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Grandma Lin was satisfied. She stood up with a firm look in her eyes. "Grandma has been through all kinds of storms. I'm alive today not only because of my strong character, but also because of my never-give-up temper."
Lin Xi felt a lump in her throat. Her grandmother had raised her brother and her with great difficulty. After losing her husband and then her son, if she had been a little weak-willed, she would have been drowned in the spittle of others.
She remembered that during the time her brother was missing, the neighbors were all talking about it, saying that her grandmother was a jinx, that she had caused the deaths of her husband and son, and now she had also caused the death of her grandson.
Even though Grandma was heartbroken, she stood in the second-floor corridor for two hours and cursed, naming names and telling everyone about the shameful things that happened in each family.
After that, I never heard of anyone daring to mess with Grandma Cricket again.
Lin Xi thought about her stubborn nature and realized that it was largely influenced by her grandmother.
"Grandma, I love your temper," Bai Tiantian continued to flatter her, "Your words and actions always make my breasts feel refreshed."
"Grandma loves your little mouth too," Grandma Lin said with a smile, pinching the sweet, white cheek. "I'm determined to have such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law. If anyone dares to take her from me, I'll fight them to the death."
Bai Tiantian smiled so beautifully; inviting Grandma out of retirement was definitely the best solution.
Bai Tiantian received a call from Song Chen, asking when she would arrive and whether she needed him to pick her up.
The original plan was for Bai Tiantian to go to the hotel with her family, but after discussing it with them, she decided to split up.
Bai Tiantian didn't tell Song Chen about inviting Grandma Lin and Lin Xi; the Song family didn't know. She wanted to give them a surprise.
"No need, Chenchen, we'll be there soon. Just wait for us at the restaurant." Bai Tiantian said and hung up the phone.
She called her brother again to ask where they were. Upon learning that they were already on their way, Bai Tiantian quickly took Grandma Lin and Lin Xi to the hotel by taxi.
The Bai family arrived before Bai Tiantian and her friends, and the entire Song family of five was already there, waiting.
After the two families exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Wantang looked behind them and asked, "Where's Tiantian?"
"Sweetie's dawdling behind, she'll be there soon," Mother Bai replied with a smile.
Song Chen stood up. "Then I'll go greet her."
“No need,” Bai’s mother stopped Song Chen. She was very satisfied with this future son-in-law. He was handsome, knowledgeable, from a good family, and most importantly, he could tolerate Tian Tian’s little temper. “She will be up in a little while. Please have a seat.”
Grandpa Song nudged Song Xu's leg with his cane. Song Xu looked up at him and asked, "Grandpa, what is it?"
"Hurry up and go down to greet Miss Bai!" Old Master Song looked at Song Xu with disappointment.
Song Xu frowned. What was he going to pick up? It wasn't his girlfriend. Why was his grandfather so persistent?
“Mr. Song, really, there’s no need,” Mrs. Bai said with a smile, looking at Song Xu. “Why didn’t Xiao Xu bring his girlfriend?”
“He doesn’t have a girlfriend,” Old Master Song said before Song Xu could speak. “This boy is very career-oriented and has always focused on his studies and career. He has never had a girlfriend.”
“It’s good to be ambitious.” Mother Bai smiled meaningfully.
Song Xu sighed, realizing that his grandfather probably didn't know that Bai Tiantian and Lin Xi were best friends. He was so ashamed of his lie.
Bai's father and Bai Qi'an mostly spoke with Song Chen and Song Qing, occasionally mentioning Song Xu as well.
Bai's mother chatted enthusiastically with Xu Wantang, while only Grandpa Song was isolated.
Grandpa Song coughed and was about to speak when the door to the private room opened and Bai Tiantian came in.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Bai Tiantian said with a smile. She glanced at the empty seats, which were all available for her, as they were reserved based on the number of people. She said to the waiter next to her, "Could you please add two more seats?"
"Sweetie," Song Chen stood up to greet her, "Is anyone else coming?"
