The old dean was taken aback, quickly smiled, and hurried to the bedside.
Gu Tiantian saw this and swiftly made way, stepping back a few steps, just enough to stand beside Bai Chenyao.
Grandma Gu started coughing again, and with each cough, Gu Tiantian’s heart wrenched.
Her eyes were only on Grandma, completely unaware of Bai Chenyao standing next to her.
The dark and gloomy eyes, with a layer of frost spreading at the bottom.
As the old man walked towards Grandma Gu, Bai Chenyao grabbed Gu Tiantian’s hand with such force that she suddenly turned her head to look at him.
Facing Bai Chenyao’s eyes, sharp as icy blades, Gu Tiantian’s heart tightened abruptly.
Seizing the moment when Grandma wasn’t paying attention, Gu Tiantian endured the pain in her hand and lowered her voice to plead with Bai Chenyao.
"A Yao, I’m begging you, okay?"
Since meeting Bai Chenyao, apart from those unbearable times in bed, this was her first time pleading with him in life.
Her watery big eyes still held a thick mist, looking hazily and adorably pitiful. She slightly raised her head, her originally slightly loose hair fell over her shoulder as she turned her head, just revealing half of her face.
Two red marks on her cheek were imprinted in Bai Chenyao’s eyes, and the dark, gloomy eyes suddenly revealed a violent look.
The cold, sinister voice not only frightened Gu Tiantian into a daze but also made the old dean, who was checking Grandma’s body over there, shudder.
Grandma Gu, who was being checked, also felt her heart tighten at the sound.
She had never seen anyone with an aura as intimidating as Bai Chenyao’s — not speaking was enough to make someone feel breathless, but speaking now made her even more terrified.
She increasingly wanted to know what exactly was the relationship between her granddaughter and Mr. Bai.
If they were just ordinary friends, her granddaughter’s pure nature really didn’t suit associating with someone like Mr. Bai.
Otherwise, she might be sold and still help count the money.
If it was another kind of relationship...
Grandma Gu shook her head, impossible!
Her granddaughter was very sensible since childhood, understanding importance, couldn’t possibly be another kind of relationship.
Although her granddaughter never said anything, Grandma Gu believed it!
Unsure if she was deceiving herself, or deceiving herself!
Having witnessed Bai Chenyao’s means, where would Gu Tiantian dare to say how the injury on her face came about?
After all, her aunt and Liangliang were still lying in the hospital, having paid a price.
Her eyes flashed, avoiding Bai Chenyao’s cold, severe eyes.
"I... accidentally scratched it."
After Gu Tiantian finished speaking, suddenly her chin hurt, Bai Chenyao reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to meet those dark, violent eyes.
"I’ll give you one more chance!"
Bai Chenyao’s voice wasn’t loud, but the ward was very quiet; you could almost hear the breathing of all four people.
With Grandma still here, Gu Tiantian clenched her fists, her voice small.
"A Yao, many things happened at home today, but they’ve been resolved. Although my face was injured, I’m fine now."
Bai Chenyao said nothing, but those dark eyes filled with violence intensely stared at her.
Gu Tiantian felt her scalp tingle from the gaze, her heart pounding faster.
"It was during a fight with my aunt; she accidentally scratched me."
Not waiting for Bai Chenyao to speak, Gu Tiantian hurriedly explained.
"A Yao, the situation at that time was quite complicated. Grandma’s heart condition flared up, and I fought with my aunt; now my aunt is still lying in bed."
