C58

Lin Wanbai put her bag in front of her and walked along the private road outside the villa.

After leaving the Lin Clan, she did not need to tell anyone, because no one would care if she left or stayed. She just did not feel the need to stay there.

It would take a long walk to get to the bus stop.

"Whooosh."

The white Land Rover stopped beside her.

The passenger door was pushed open and Huo Changyuan frowned in annoyance, "Not obedient again! It's not to make you wait for me! "

"I just want to go home early." Lin Wanbai quietly climbed into the car.

Huo Changyuan continued to drive forward after she fastened her seat belt.

As she turned the corner, she glanced in her direction out of the corner of her eyes. "Lin Wanbai, did someone pull out the chair again?"

"Nope." Lin Wanbai shook her head.

"Then why are you twisting your face?" Huo Changyuan stared at her lowered eyes.

Lin Wanbai mumbled. She didn't look at him, but placed her hand on her abdomen. "Eh ?" Maybe it's an auntie. I have a stomachache. "

When Huo Changyuan heard this, he pursed his lips and seemed to mutter, "This thing is so troublesome".

"Come home with me tonight."

Lin Wanbai clenched her fingers, looking somewhat conflicted. "Can I go? I can't go with you ?"

Huo Changyuan glanced at her lazily, "If you can't do it, then just lie down beside me and sleep in a warm bed!"

"It's better not to ?" Lin Wanbai still shook her head.

Even though she knew that her rejection would make him unhappy, she still chose to do so. As expected, her eyebrows darkened when she saw his actions.

Before he finished his sentence, Bluetooth's phone rang. Huo Changyuan directly pressed it and it was Jiang Fang's respectful voice: "Director Huo, Beijing's customers have arrived a day earlier. I will rush to the airport to pick them up and then arrange for a hotel ?"

Huo Changyuan frowned for two seconds and said, "I got it, I'll find some time to go over later."

Lin Wanbai looked at the red light in front of her. She took the opportunity while he was distracted to reply to her phone and said, "Hurry up and get busy, I can take the bus ?"

With that, she quietly opened the door.

"Lin Wanbai!"

When Huo Changyuan finally reacted, she was no longer in the car.

The traffic lights changed in front and a car whistle sounded behind him. Huo Changyuan's eyebrows twitched, so he had no choice but to drive the Range Rover forward.

Afraid of being caught by him, Lin Wanbai jumped onto a bus and sat in the last row.

The first neon light shone on the window of the car, and her silhouette was reflected in it.

Lin Wanbai shook her head in frustration.

What was she unhappy about ?

"..."

On a weekday, Lin Wanbai went to the hospital.

His grandmother seemed to have gotten better after changing the ward. Unlike before, when she didn't get a good night's rest, she would always fall asleep after taking the medicine. She looked to be in high spirits.

After dinner, the grandfather and grandson duo chatted about their childhood with laughter.

Lin Wanbai stood up and held the old man's shoulder. "Grandmother, you've also been sitting here for a long time. I think it's better if I put down the pillow and lie down!"

Grandma smiled and said, "Good," understanding granddaughter's filial piety.

Lin Wanbai carefully put down the pillow and helped her grandma lie down. At the end of the day, she did not forget to carefully tuck in the corner as she was afraid the air conditioner would be cold.

When she was about to withdraw her hand, Grandma suddenly called out, "Little White! "You ?"

Lin Wanbai didn't understand. She saw her grandma's old eyes staring at her.

Following her line of sight, she froze.

When he bent over, his collar was open, and he couldn't hide the bruises below his collarbone.

"I ?"

Lin Wanbai stuttered, not knowing how to explain.

The marks on her skin were all left by Huo Changyuan. On the night of her arrival, her hands were sore to the point that it was almost broken, and there was nothing good about her body that had been kissed by him. It had already been a few days, but her skin had always been thin. Normally, she wouldn't kowtow so much that it wouldn't disappear for a few days.

This was not the old society, and it could be accepted no matter how deep the relationship between a man and a woman developed.

But...

Grandma took hold of her granddaughter's hand, wanting to say something, but hesitated. "Little White, tell Grandma the truth, are you ?" the same as the girls from Old Zhang's family in the countryside? "

Before he could finish what he wanted to say, the old man's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Grandma, I'm not!"

Lin Wanbai's heart tightened, but she couldn't help but deny it.

She remembered that there was almost no one in the whole village who didn't know of Old Zhang's girls.

After working in the city for less than two days, he had grown up like an old man who was as old as his father. Other than money, there was also a wife and a pair of children.

Actually, after she calculated, there was no difference between her and them.

The only difference was that Huo Changyuan didn't bring his family along. Instead, he was an outstanding bachelor.

Lin Wanbai smiled wryly in her heart. Shouldn't she be grateful?

"If not, then where did you get the money to pay for the operation? And this ward, I heard from the nurse, it's twice as big as a normal ward! With that mother and daughter of yours in the Lin Family, how could your father possibly give you so much money?! " Grandma shook her head, not believing it.

"Little White, if you're really like the Zhang girl, Grandma won't blame you!" "As long as you go back to the shore early on, life is not over yet ?"

"Grandma, don't cry, I really didn't!"

Lin Wanbai was both distressed and anxious. She used a piece of paper to wipe away her tears for the old man, afraid that her emotions would affect her condition. The attending physician often warned her that the most important thing for heart disease was to pay attention to one's emotions.

She gritted her teeth and blurted out, "I just made a boyfriend ?"

"Boyfriend?" Grandma was stunned.

"..." "Yes!" Lin Wanbai nodded. Since she had already started, she could only continue, "It's definitely not a married man! He has a very high position in the company and his family background is also not bad. He knows my situation and that's why he gave me money to come to an emergency! "

Other than the two of them having a good relationship, the rest wasn't a lie.

Her grandmother looked at her for a long time before she finally stopped crying. "How old are you?"

"Thirty ?"

"How many children?"

"I'm not too sure about that yet ?"

The more Lin Wanbai answered, the less confident she became. Afraid of being seen through, she lowered her head to avoid him. "Uh, I haven't even known him for three months and we've only been together for two weeks. For now, I don't understand him that well ?"

"To be able to help you in times of trouble in such a short period of time, your character must be pretty good!" Hearing that, Grandma nodded in approval, then looked at her seriously, "Little White, we can't just casually receive favors from others. This money must be paid off in the future!"

"Alright." Lin Wanbai heaved a sigh of relief.

After a false alarm to calm Grandma, she left the hospital with relief.

However, she didn't know if it was because she was lying to her grandma, but when she received his call at night, she felt a little guilty.
