Chapter 77 Call Me Grandpa
Bai Guanqun was relatively young and recovered quickly; he was able to get out of bed after only four days in the hospital.
"Mom, I feel almost better. Can I be discharged now?"
"We need to ask the doctor's opinion. If the doctor discharges you, then we will."
Bai Guanqun kicked off the blanket: "Who knows when that will be? The hospital would love for me not to leave."
Just then, the doctor came to make his rounds.
After checking him over, Ji Weichen said, "You can go to a regular ward today. If there are no problems after a few more days of observation, you can be discharged."
Bai Guanqun said with dissatisfaction, "I don't want to go to a regular ward, I want to be discharged directly."
"You have a ruptured spleen. This can be a serious matter or a minor one, so it needs to be taken seriously."
"Let's move around, please let us move to a VIP ward."
Ji Weichen silently sized up Song Yilin: "It's been so many years, but you haven't changed at all."
Song Yilin then noticed that the doctor looked somewhat familiar.
"And you are?"
“I am Ji Weichen. Xu Qingmin used to often take you and Gu Sinan out to play together.”
I remember now, Xu Qingmin used to take her out to play often. There was always someone like that around Gu Sinan. But after so many years as a doctor, he hasn't gone bald, which is quite rare.
"Long time no see. So you're my daughter's attending physician. Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble at all. I didn't expect that you secretly gave birth to such a big daughter for Xu Qingmin."
Song Yilin glanced at Bai Guanqun, who was quite sensitive about this matter, and gestured to Ji Weichen with her eyes to stop talking.
Ji Weichen was a shrewd man; he immediately stopped talking and arranged a VIP ward for her.
Once they arrived at the VIP ward, Bai Guanqun became much more cheerful.
Once a patient is transferred to a VIP ward, there are no restrictions on who can accompany them; anyone can visit.
After explaining the situation to Xu Qingmin, Song Yilin also told her mother and mother-in-law.
Soon after, the old lady, her mother-in-law, and her mother came over.
The old lady seemed more cheerful, but the extra gray hair couldn't lie.
Song Yilin peeled an apple for the old lady, who took it, ate it, and smiled at her.
Even though the old lady was heartbroken and hated Song Yilin for letting her grandson down, she still couldn't bear to blame Song Yilin and wouldn't make things difficult for her.
Bai Guanqun used to be the old lady's only hope, but now, that hope is gone.
What she feared most was that the old lady would become depressed and give up. Recently, Xu Qingmin hired an extra nanny and nurse to take care of the old lady's health.
However, these three women ate snacks wherever they went.
They also like to gossip.
Once the gossip started, the ward was no longer dull, and Bai Guanqun stopped asking to be discharged.
Xu Qingmin came over after finishing his work at the company.
Xu Qingmin whispered to Song Yilin, "Um, my parents are coming over later, can we let them see Guanqun?"
She's someone else's granddaughter; there's no reason not to let her have her.
"Let them come if they want. Your father, Guanqun, isn't too opposed to it, but what about your mother? If Guanqun is strongly opposed, it's best not to stay here for too long for her health."
Actually, what Song Yilin wanted to say was that it would be best not to let Xu Ming come over, but that would be a bit absolute. Children of this age see things in black and white; if they don't like someone, they just don't like them. They don't have the mindset of adults yet. Bai Guanqun's personality also doesn't like to please people.
"I see."
In the afternoon, Xu Qingmin's parents hadn't arrived yet, but Xu Qingya arrived first, along with Xu Yijing and Mu Yunzi.
The old lady, my mother, and my mother-in-law saw that the family members were coming back to dance in the square.
Xu Qingya's gaze towards Bai Guanqun is different now.
"I never expected that I would actually sign my niece. It's really fate."
Xu Yijing immediately tried to hug Bai Guanqun, but Xu Qingmin stopped him, saying, "Xu Yijing, what are you doing?"
Xu Yijing, realizing what was happening, said to his brother somewhat timidly, "When she first came to our class, I felt a sense of closeness to her, as if we were siblings in our past life. I never imagined that we were actually related by blood."
Bai Guanqun said with disdain, "When I first met you, I didn't think of me as your younger sister. I thought of me as your older sister, the kind of big sister."
"Guanqun, the way you talk really sounds just like my brother."
After Xu Yijing said that, the other people in the ward also started paying attention to what was happening on this side.
In fact, Xu Qingmin had long noticed that Bai Guanqun was quite similar to him in this respect.
Hearing what her nephew said, Mu Yunzi pondered Xu Yijing's words carefully, her expression somewhat complicated.
Feeling a little uncomfortable under the gaze, Bai Guanqun said, "No, I don't resemble anyone else. I am myself."
"Guanqun, should I call you Xu Guanqun from now on? Or should my brother give you a new name?"
These words made Bai Guanqun even more unhappy: "My name is Bai Guanqun, I won't change it, I'll always use this name."
Mu Yunzi tugged at Xu Yijing: "Say less."
Xu Qingya said coldly, "Some people, when they shouldn't speak, shouldn't speak."
Mu Yunzi was also at a loss for words and dared not refute Xu Qingya's words, so she said to Song Yilin, "Well, I'll take Yi Jing back first."
Song Yilin nodded to Mu Yunzi.
After they came out, Xu Yijing asked, puzzled, "You don't seem very happy that Bai Guanqun is my niece?"
Mu Yunzi sneered, "Are you really stupid or just pretending? Xu Qingmin has no children, so the Xu Group will be yours in the future. But if you have a daughter, the Xu Group won't be yours anymore."
Xu Yijing kept his eyelids half-closed and remained silent.
Inside the ward.
Xu Qingya exchanged a few pleasantries and then went back.
Bai Guanqun and Song Yilin reiterated, "Mom, I will not change my name or my surname. I have been called Bai Guanqun for almost 13 years. I will not respond if you call me by another name."
Xu Qingmin said, "If you don't want to change it, then don't. I've already promised your mother."
Song Yilin didn't want Bai Guanqun to change his name because she felt indebted to the Bai family, but what was Bai Guanqun's reason?
Song Yilin went to bed and lay down with her daughter.
"Qunqun, tell Mom why you don't want to change your name?"
“My original name was Bai Guanqun. My father named me Bai Guanqun. A family that has no blood relation to me treated me so well. I can’t forget them.”
Song Yilin was somewhat moved.
Even children know that people should learn to be grateful.
Xu Qingmin promised Bai Guanqun, "Don't worry, you are Bai Ye's daughter, that's a fact that no one can change, but I am also your father."
Song Yilin didn't want to complicate the relationship too much: "How about this, Qingmin, you can think of a name for your family, and call him by that name when he's at your house. But for all of Qunqun's external relationships and schooling, he should use his current name, okay, Qunqun?"
Bai Guanqun thought about it and compromised: "Okay."
Xu Qingmin happily began to look up words in the dictionary.
Mr. Xu and Xu Ming also arrived.
Old Xu looked at Bai Guanqun quietly.
My eyes are a little wet.
"Okay, okay, okay, the child is so big now, how about calling him Grandpa?"
