Bai Shuang thought to herself, "Luckily I answered 'yes,' otherwise it would have been troublesome."
But then the old lady came up with another trick.
"If you can't be my granddaughter-in-law, how about becoming my goddaughter?"
When the old lady saw this girl with superb medical skills, beauty, and intelligence, she seemed determined to make her one of her own.
"Grandma Zuo, I came to Longcheng on business. I'll leave once I'm done, so please don't formally become godparents to me."
If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we can still help each other.
Bai Shuang thought everything was fine. After the acupuncture, she was given three more days' worth of medicine. The points had already been paid off last time, so she could pack up and go home.
To everyone's surprise, Old Mrs. Zuo took out a delicate little box and insisted on giving it to Bai Shuang.
"I cannot accept your things."
Bai Shuang just refused to be recognized as a godparent. What does she mean by that?
Bai Shuang and Grandma Zuo pulled and escorted her to the living room. Grandma Zuo was eager to give her the gift, but Bai Shuang refused.
But you can't push too hard, or you'll cause trouble.
The people in the living room had no idea what they were doing, and Bai Jiu and the other two were even more clueless.
At that moment, Aunt Zuo, with her sharp eyes, spotted the box.
"Mom, aren't those your beloved bracelets? Your granddaughter wanted them last time, but you wouldn't give them to her."
"I'm so grateful to that girl for saving my life!"
Kai Chen (Zuo Shao), from now on, call Miss Bai "sister," understand?
"Grandma, she's not as old as me."
His grandmother is really senile.
Grandma Zuo then suggested a career for her grandson, "How about you become Miss Bai's bodyguard, just like those two?"
\"grandmother!\"
Bai Shuang now understood. Grandma Zuo was a shrewd old woman. The reason she wanted to become her godmother and give her the bracelet was that she wanted Bai Shuang to help take care of her precious grandson in the future.
Given the numerous natural disasters to come, Lu Yu had previously leaked the news, so it was impossible for the Zuo family head, a high-ranking official in the Dragon City base, not to know about it.
Although the old lady's concern for her beloved grandson and her deep care for him were touching, Bai Shuang had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
"Grandma Zuo, as I just said, I will be leaving the Dragon City base soon."
Others may not know what the old lady is doing, but how could the head of the Zuo family not see his mother's intentions?
"Girl, please accept this from my mother, otherwise she'll feel bad about it."
Fine, anyway, she said it was to thank me for saving her life, she doesn't care about anything else.
"Thank you, Grandma Zuo. I'll leave you some extra medicine before I leave."
Bai Shuang took out a packet of monkey fruit and a piece of vine from her bag and gave them to them.
"This is very nutritious and also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. I have already sold the seeds to the agricultural research institute..."
You can grow some for your own consumption.
They were all very curious to see the bright white fruits growing on the cold snow.
Each person ate one, and the old lady put them away.
They also gave me some digestive tea containing hawthorn and green tea, and then I said goodbye.
This time, the driver took Bai Shuang and the others away. After they left, the head of the Zuo family asked Grandma Zuo.
"Mom, you gave those bracelets to Miss Bai because you wanted her to take care of Kai (Zuo Shao) in the future, right?"
"Well, it's not really a request, and they wouldn't agree anyway. I just want to make a good connection."
Right now, our family is thriving, but as you've said, natural disasters will be frequent in the future, each one more severe than the last. Nobody knows what the future holds.
As you've seen, that girl is capable and not without a conscience.
I've spoiled Kaichen rotten. You can't support him for the rest of his life, and I don't have many years left to live either.
If he does well in the future, fine; but if he doesn't, I only ask that girl, in the future, lend him a hand when he's down on his luck.
When Bai Shuang returned to the hotel and opened the small box, she realized it contained a pair of top-quality mutton fat jade bracelets, and they were even antiques.
Holding it in my hand, I can feel a rich spiritual energy, and its spatial perception is very strong. It's just a pity to feed such a good thing to the space.
I've only been dealing with the Zuo family for a few days, and I'm not sure if I should return it later. I'll keep it for now and deal with it after I leave Longcheng.
………………
At this moment, in a house at the Dragon City base, Zuo Shao's girlfriend—no, his ex-girlfriend—was lying in the arms of a middle-aged man named Ma San, whose face was covered in stubble.
Her name is Zhang Li. Ever since that day when Zuo Shao had her thrown out of the house, she has been completely disappointed. She dares not bother Zuo Shao anymore, because if he angers her, he might really take her life.
But having been with Zuo Shao for some time, she had grown accustomed to the luxurious life of the wealthy and was unwilling to return to the smelly tent where she worked on an empty stomach every day.
As she walked aimlessly down the street, a middle-aged man waved to her. She looked up and saw that he was not only old, but also had rough, dark skin and a full beard, making him look dirty.
He was young and handsome, and instinctively wanted to run away, but then he heard him speak.
"Little girl, you'll live a life of luxury with me."
She was tempted. Zuo Shao no longer wanted her and needed to find a job. Her age and ugly appearance were insignificant compared to hunger.
"Are you serious? Really, the food and drinks will be delicious?"
"I mean what I say. Do you think I'd lie to you, a grown man like me?"
She gave in, changed direction, and walked towards the man.
The man led her to a place in the base and into a room.
As soon as she entered, there were several men inside. Upon seeing her, they all congratulated the man.
"Congratulations, brother, on the birth of your beautiful bride!"
