Bai Kangyan said, "I also find it strange. Even Yitang could see that Bai Xinrou's intentions were impure. How could Dad not see it? Could it be that he is trying to advance by retreating?"
Bai Kangcheng thought silently for a while: "I don't think so. Since Dad woke up, his personality has been different from before. Although the old man had a bad temper before, he had a sense of justice. He would never be as heartless and cold as he is today."
Bai Qianmo walked towards Bai Lao's ward and ran into Bai Kangcheng and Bai Kangyan.
"Qianmo!"
Upon seeing Bai Qianmo approaching, both brothers showed expressions of excitement.
"You're finally back! Go to the ward and see your grandfather. He's like a different person since he woke up. His attitude towards Bai Xinrou is completely different from before."
Bai Qianmo calmly looked at the two of them.
"Grandpa has been poisoned by a Gu curse."
Bai Kangcheng stared at Bai Qianmo in astonishment: "Gu...Gu poison?"
"Yes, it's a sleep-inducing Gu that can manipulate human brain consciousness. Before this Gu poison enters the host's body, the person who raises it has instilled certain memories into him. The reason why Grandpa is behaving so differently right now is that he has been controlled by the sleep-inducing Gu."
Bai Kangyan was shocked: "This is too unbelievable. Does such a thing as Gu poison really exist in the world?"
"The Gu poison has been around for thousands of years, so it naturally exists. It's just that people with this skill are extremely rare now, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with it."
Bai Kangcheng asked in bewilderment, "Our Bai family is just an ordinary family in the capital. Why would they treat us like this?"
"Only the other party knows this. All we can do is wait for them to contact us."
Both Bai Kangcheng and Bai Kangyan had solemn expressions.
We initially thought that the old man was just getting old and his physical functions were declining, which was why he was experiencing excessive sleepiness.
To everyone's surprise, the old man had been bewitched.
"The old man is insisting on being discharged from the hospital. Qianmo, do you think it's appropriate for him to be discharged now? By the way, he insists on taking Bai Xinrou back to the Bai family."
Bai Qianmo pondered for a moment: "Don't alert him. Since Grandpa wants to be discharged, then process his discharge paperwork."
There's nothing the hospital can do about this disease.
Leaving Bai Xinrou in the Bai family might allow them to secretly investigate something.
"Alright, I'll go talk to Dean Luo about my discharge right away."
After parting ways with Bai Kangcheng and Bai Kangyan, Bai Qianmo went to Bai Lao's ward.
"Qianmo is here!"
Upon seeing Bai Qianmo enter, Han Songyan immediately got up and walked towards Bai Qianmo.
"Your grandfather..."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Han Songyan indifferently and nodded.
It means she knew everything.
Han Songyan didn't say anything more. She was very happy that Bai Qianmo nodded to her.
Bai Lao looked at Bai Qianmo coldly, and Bai Qianmo calmly stared back at him.
The two men locked eyes. Old Bai's eyelids drooped, and a cold glint shot from his narrowed eyes.
It was a kind of vigilance and animalistic alertness.
Bai Qianmo raised the corners of her lips as if nothing had happened.
"Grandpa, are you feeling any better?"
Old Bai scoffed, "You still know how to care about me? I'm lying in the hospital room, and everyone else is here. As long as you don't know where you've run off to, I have no right to say anything to you, after all, you've never lived in the Bai family since you were a child."
"Dad, how can you say that about Qianmo? She's your most beloved granddaughter!" Han Songyan was the first to speak up, unable to bear it any longer.
"So what if she's your own granddaughter? She's not as considerate of the elderly as Xinrou."
Bai Yitang grabbed a handful of hair in frustration after hearing what Elder Bai said.
He muttered to himself, "It's over. The old man has definitely been bewitched by that wicked woman."
Bai Luoyu, who hadn't said much, stared at Old Bai for a while.
"Grandpa, in this family, you are the one who loves and protects Qianmo the most. When we all had prejudices against Qianmo before, it was you who went against everyone's opinions and revealed Qianmo's identity. Have you forgotten all of that?"
"That's because she's a member of the Bai family. How can the descendants of the Bai family be left to wander outside? Heh, now I see clearly that I'm surrounded by a bunch of ingrates. I can't trust anyone!"
Bai Luoyu frowned deeply, his heart filled with suspicion.
Why did the old man's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? I'm completely baffled.
Bai Xinrou looked at Bai Qianmo with a provocative gaze.
Bai Qianmo showed no sign of anger as she walked to the bedside and used the opportunity to push Bai Xinrou away.
Bai Xinrou was surprised that Bai Qianmo would attack her directly, and exclaimed in surprise, taking two steps back.
She bit her lip and deliberately fell to the ground.
"Qianmo, what have I done to offend you? You..."
Old Master Bai roared, "Bai Qianmo, how could you treat Xinrou like this? You've gone too far! You've lived in the Bai family for so long, don't you even have basic manners?"
"Oh, Xinrou, I didn't know you were so weak. I really didn't mean to push you just now." Bai Qianmo feigned surprise, walked up to Bai Xinrou, and affectionately reached out to help her.
Bai Xinrou met Bai Qianmo's smiling gaze and felt a sudden surge of nervousness.
He subconsciously pulled his arm back.
Bai Qianmo gave her no chance, grabbing her arm with extreme force.
Bai Xinrou screamed in pain.
"Xinrou, what's wrong?" Old Bai asked anxiously.
Bai Xinrou's eyes were filled with tears, and a tearing pain shot through her arm, making her tremble all over.
She opened her mouth to complain to Elder Bai, but Bai Qianmo spoke first.
"Xinrou, did you sprain your ankle? Oh dear, it's all red. I'm so sorry, I'll take you to see a doctor right away."
"No..." Bai Xinrou opened her mouth to speak, but Bai Qianmo tightened her grip on her arm again.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Bai Qianmo looked at her apologetically: "It's all my fault. I didn't expect you to fall so easily even in flat shoes. A friend of mine works in orthopedics. I'll take you there to see him right away."
Seeing that Bai Qianmo treated Bai Xinrou very well, Elder Bai sincerely apologized.
He didn't think much of it.
"Then hurry up and go. Don't be so clumsy in the future. And Song Yan, as her mother, you should also discipline this girl. She's so rude. If she continues like this, she'll only bring shame to the Bai family!"
Han Songyan stared wide-eyed at Old Bai in astonishment.
Has the old man gone mad? How could he say such a thing to his most beloved granddaughter?
Isn't this what she always said before?
