My neck hurts so much.
It looked like he had been struck by something.
Bai Xiaoruo, fast asleep, frowned slightly. When she slowly opened her eyes, the unfamiliar surroundings made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The old man sitting next to her was overjoyed to see her wake up. "Girl, you're awake."
Bai Xiaoruo was stunned. Was she dreaming?
She quickly sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes, and still couldn't quite believe it. "Grandpa? Is it really you?" she asked, holding the old man's hand in surprise.
Didn't the news say that after that fire, no one survived at the nursing home?
What's Grandpa doing here?
"It's me. Silly girl, don't you recognize your grandpa?" They told them to go out and bring Bai Xiaoruo back, but instead, they knocked her unconscious and carried her back. Bai Xiaoruo slept for a long time before waking up, and Feng Zhiyuan was extremely worried, constantly blaming them for being too harsh.
"Grandpa..." Bai Xiaoru pouted, unable to hold back any longer, and burst into tears while hugging Feng Zhiyuan in front of her.
She really missed her grandfather so much. She thought that even the only family member who loved her the most had left her. She thought that from now on, she would be all alone in the world.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, Grandpa's here. No one can bully my precious granddaughter Feng Zhiyuan from now on." Feng Zhiyuan gently patted Bai Xiaoruo's back and took a tissue from the side to wipe her tears.
"Um."
Bai Xiaoru sniffed, took a tissue and wiped her tears haphazardly. She still had so many questions to ask her grandfather.
She looked around at the beautiful room, decorated in beige tones, with round European-style princess beds and several large plush dolls on the side.
Everything in the room was complete, even the floor was smooth mahogany.
Where is this place? How did she get here?
"Grandpa, where is this? Also, I saw on the news that the nursing home had been burned to the ground and there was no one left alive. How did you escape, Grandpa?"
"This will be your home from now on. I don't know if you like the decoration of this room. If there is anything missing, your grandfather will have someone add it."
"Home? My home? Wait, Grandpa, where did you get so much money?" Bai Xiaoruo suddenly realized something, and what puzzled her even more was how smoothly her grandfather was communicating with her. Had his illness been cured? Or...?
Bai Xiaoruo was immediately a little unhappy. "Grandpa, have you been lying to me all along? Before, when I talked to you, you always talked incoherently. But now, you can suddenly conjure up such a beautiful room and you're not slow to talk to me anymore. Grandpa, tell me quickly, how exactly did you escape from the nursing home? Didn't the fire burn you?"
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will tell you everything..."
This story actually dates back to nineteen years ago.
Back then, Feng Zhiyuan's beloved daughter, Feng Lan'er, insisted on marrying Bai Minglei. Feng Zhiyuan immediately saw through Bai Minglei's ill intentions. In the years following Feng Lan'er's marriage, Feng Zhiyuan secretly transferred most of the Feng family's assets. Later, when Bai Minglei poisoned and obtained a small portion of the Feng family's shares from Feng Lan'er, Feng Zhiyuan began to feign madness. Even when Bai Minglei came to the Feng family and emptied their possessions, Feng Zhiyuan remained unmoved, leading Bai Minglei to believe that he had gone mad from grief over his daughter's death and was no longer able to fight against Bai Minglei.
As the Bai Group grew in power, Feng Zhiyuan secretly sent people to gather evidence of his poisoning of Feng Lan'er and other misdeeds. Of course, Feng Zhiyuan was no match for the young and strong Bai Minglei, so the evidence gathering process had to be carried out slowly so that Bai Minglei wouldn't find out.
Fortunately, a few years ago, Xian Zhengsen found Feng Zhiyuan. With his help, he replaced most of the caregivers that Bai Minglei used to monitor Feng Zhiyuan in the nursing home. When he learned that Bai Minglei was going to burn Feng Zhiyuan to death, Xian Zhengsen sent people to secretly protect Feng Zhiyuan and take him away. However, because of his old age and difficulty walking, Feng Zhiyuan was still injured when a burning wooden stick hit his leg as he left.
After recuperating, the once-defeated Feng family was able to rise again.
It was only through the acquisition of the completely bankrupt Bai Group and the submission of evidence of Bai Minglei's crimes, which he had collected over many years, to the police that Bai was finally sent to prison.
Feng Zhiyuan had instructed Xian Zhengsen to keep this matter extremely secret. On the surface, it was Xian Mingyu who acquired most of the Bai family's factories, but in reality, it was Xian Zhengsen who had been working for Feng Zhiyuan, having Xian Mingyu take the lead.
"So that's how it is..." After hearing what Feng Zhiyuan said, Bai Xiaoruo was deeply moved. She never expected that the father she had called for so many years was such a heartless person. If it weren't for Grandpa Xuan's help, she might never have seen her grandfather again.
However, on the other hand, since Xuan Mingyu acquired the Bai family's factory on his grandfather's orders, then... it can't be considered that he personally wanted to harm the Bai family, right?
So it seems she misunderstood him.
But so what! He had a relationship with Su Yuluo, and now she's pregnant—that's a fact.
They are already divorced and will have no further connection.
Let bygones be bygones, like a dream. When you wake up, it's all over.
They were back to square one. He was still the unapproachable Xian Mingyu, and she was still the ordinary Bai Xiaoruo.
