"What good does it do to hold a grudge against her? It was the Ou family, particularly Muyuan, who caused the trouble. If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have ended up as a pawn, wouldn’t have been sent to prison. She didn’t kill that baby, and Ou Muyuan turned out quite alright in the end. What more do you expect of her?"
The old man seemed to be someone who understood the bigger picture.
In fact, that’s how it was. The whole mess started with his own son. After tricking an innocent girl into their world, they used her and then sent her to prison. Wouldn’t anyone else feel outraged in her place?
Therefore, he couldn’t find any reason to bear a grudge. On the contrary, he should be grateful. In spite of all the hatred she might have felt, she still managed to raise the offspring of the Ou family so well. Just thinking about that filled him with remorse.
As he thought about this, his eyes softened behind his reading glasses, "That’s right, today is the weekend, isn’t it? Go and fetch Xiaobao, let him come here for a meal."
Bai Tingfang immediately perked up at the mention of her chubby and lovable grandson.
However, as she stood up, the idea of facing that child, who always looked at her with loathing and disdain, filled her with trepidation: "Master, I... I’m afraid I won’t be able to bring him back."
"I... I..." She stammered several "I’s", unable to complete a single sentence.
Old Master Ou realized what was happening and frowned at her...
You reap what you sow!
If she had known this day would come, why had she gone so far in the past?
He furrowed his brows and put down his pen, "Alright, I’ll go myself."
Bai Tingfang’s mouth turned down, but then she cheered up...
Actually, she truly liked the child. It’s just that the more wrongs she had done before, the more thorns she felt now. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to get close to him, but she felt ashamed and unworthy.
Luckily, the old man agreed. So after he finished his work, the couple left the house.
They drove to the hospital and, indeed, before they even reached the VIP intensive care area, they heard the child’s voice. Looking ahead, they saw nurses and doctors crowding around something, playing and making a fuss.
"Xiaobao, tell us, who is prettier? The nurses or your kindergarten friends?"
"Yeah, yeah, and what about me, huh?"
What’s with all the idiots?
The chubby child surrounded in the middle scrunched up his delicate features, not appearing to be too happy: "Uncle Director is here..."
With that, the crowd scattered like rabbits!
He was really tired. Why was he harassed by so many childish people every day?
Ye Xiaobao dragged his little water bottle, ready to return to the ward to find his dad, but at that moment, a hearty laugh from an elderly man rang out from behind: "Xiaobao, my dear grandson, come here and let grandpa give you a hug!"
At the sound of that voice, Ye Xiaobao’s small eyes quickly brightened.
But when he turned around and saw the woman standing next to his grandpa, his face turned cold again: "Grandpa, you’re here?"
The old man was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together with a beaming smile: "Yes, your grandpa missed you, so I wanted to come over and give you a hug, and maybe take you back for a meal, is that okay?"
Seeing the chubby child standing there, the old man’s heart melted completely, and he picked up the small bundle into his arms.
