Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Let’s Get Married (10) Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Let’s Get Married (10) When Lu Wanwan heard about collecting debts, she remembered that she still owed him money.
It wasn’t that she intended to forget about the debt; the last time she saw Bai Lingyun, he was in a hurry to take Xu Yuan to the hospital, and later she heard that he hadn’t returned from filming abroad.
She had texted him asking for his card number, to see if she should transfer the money to him.
But Bai Lingyun indicated that he didn’t want to disclose his card number…
So the matter of repaying the money had been put off.
She rubbed her temples, wondering if she had that much cash on hand.
“Miss Lu, who is that?” the nurse asked curiously. “The young man is quite handsome, and he looks somewhat familiar too.”
Well, isn’t he just the hottest superstar of the moment, the dream of thousands of young girls.
“A creditor,” Lu Wanwan mumbled vaguely.
She glanced at the next bed and was relieved that the patient had been discharged recently. Otherwise, with Bai Lingyun walking in so boldly, even if he could cover his face in front of the nurses, would he cover his face in the ward too?
“Madame Ye,” Bai Lingyun stood at the bedside with a smile, “You probably don’t know who I am, do you?”
Madame Ye was wearing a breathing machine; her health had worsened in the past few days, often needing the machine and finding it uncomfortable to speak.
She squinted her eyes for a long time and finally shook her head.
“How do you know my grandma?” Lu Wanwan looked at him suspiciously. “Do you really know her, or are you just taking advantage of my grandma’s current unstable memory to show your face?”
Bai Lingyun pursed his lips and looked at her slantingly, his pleasant voice trailing off, “Then tell me, why would I bother to show my face in front of an old lady I don’t know?”
However, it was quite possible that Bai Lingyun was telling the truth, as he and Gu Annan were cousins, and Gu Annan’s grandfather knew her grandmother.
So it wasn’t wrong for Bai Lingyun to say that he was visiting on behalf of his mother.
But looking at her grandmother’s expression, she seemed even more clueless than herself.
Bai Lingyun pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket and handed it forward, “Madame Ye, I couldn’t buy anything appropriate, so I’m embarrassed to come empty-handed. This was given to me by my mother to deliver to you, it should be considered… returning to its rightful owner.”
When the jewelry box was opened, inside was an antique emerald ring.
As soon as Madame Ye saw the ring, her eyes immediately widened, and she became agitated.
She attempted excitably to remove her breathing machine, but was stopped by Lu Wanwan, “Grandma, you can’t, your body can’t handle it right now.”
Madame Ye, unable to overpower her, finally settled down.
Her deeply sunken eyes looked at Bai Lingyun with a particularly complicated and profound gaze, as if she wanted to ask something.
Bai Lingyun put his hands in his pockets, looking down, “Madame Ye, my mother’s name is Gu Heyi. This ring has been kept by her for many years. She has lived a quiet life in Canada all these years. Not long ago, when she heard about your situation, she insisted that I bring this ring to you.”
Lu Wanwan couldn’t understand what they were talking about, and the name Gu Heyi was also new to her.
A Gu by surname — what relation did she have with the Gu Family?
And what was her connection with her grandmother?
With these questions in mind, when she looked at her grandmother, the eyes that seemed as dry as a well were brimming with tears.
Madame Ye slowly shook her head, not saying a word.
In her eyes, her grandmother had always been an optimistic and cheerful person; besides when her mother left, she had never seen her grandmother cry.
Madame Ye, with trembling hands, touched the ring over and over again.
Yet in the end, she pushed the jewelry box back.
