“Grandma, your plan doesn’t feel good either!” Chen Lin sat by Grandma’s bed and complained. “I feel like my sister-in-law and brother didn’t make any progress yesterday. The two of them didn’t even talk! I clearly said it yesterday! I feel like I still have to think of another way to matchmake them!”
A plan? To matchmake them?
Bai Ran’s fingers, which were about to knock, instantly dropped.
“What do you know? Don’t be too anxious. They’ve just experienced such a huge conflict. In Ran Ran’s eyes, your brother didn’t save her and lied to her. Ran Ran must be very sad. How could she get along with your brother so easily?”
“I’m pretending to be sick at the right time. Yesterday, I only wanted them to adapt to each other. Didn’t you see that Ran Ran no longer rejects your brother so much after our collaboration?”
“I still have to pretend to be sick for a few more days! That way, the two of them will spend a lot of time together. Ran Ran already likes your brother, and this time, she was only hurt by him. But slowly, in this way, Ran Ran will definitely believe your brother!” Grandma analyzed noisily, her face filled with smugness.
“Now that you mention it, that’s true. I really hope that the two of them can reconcile quickly!” Chen Lin smiled as she listened.
“Why are you so happy?! Don’t think I don’t know. That way, your Huo Tian won’t have a chance with Ran Ran anymore, right?!” Grandma’s face turned cold again. “I told you, you’re not allowed to be together!”
“Grandma, I…” Chen Lin was still saying something, but Bai Ran gradually could not hear anything…
She was pretending! Grandma was actually using her worry to pretend to be sick!
Grandma and Chen Lin had actually accompanied Chen Chen to lie to her!
Furthermore, from what Grandma said, they knew about Bai Ran’s kidnapping from the beginning to the end. They even pretended not to know about this to lie to her!
Bai Ran felt like her heart had sunk. Her tears instantly blurred her eyes, and the gift box in her hand slipped out.
She felt really distressed.
Even if she was lied to by Chen Chen, she had not been so disappointed. Now, even her most respected grandmother had come to lie to her. That was her grandmother who had always been on her side…
How many people did Chen Chen want to ally with to lie to her?!
Was it really worth it?! Just to make her trust him? But he did not love her, so why did he need her trust?
Since he did not love her, why did he have to go through so much trouble?!
Bai Ran’s mind was in a mess…
When the people inside heard the sound of the box falling outside the door, they turned their gazes to the door of the ward.
They saw Bai Ran standing there with tears on her face, looking at the two of them with resentment.
“Ah, Sister-in-law…”
“Ran Ran…”
The two of them called out to Bai Ran with difficulty.
Grandma quickly lifted the blanket and wanted to get up from the bed. However, she was really old. She was anxious and found it difficult to get up.
Chen Lin had just stood up and wanted to help Grandma when Bai Ran rushed over and pressed Grandma down.
No matter what Grandma did, her intentions were good in the end. She was still that Grandma who treated her very well.
Bai Ran stood by the bed and wiped her tears. She took a deep breath and said, “Grandma, you don’t have to get up. I’ll leave first. Have a good rest.”
“Ran Ran, you heard everything just now…” Grandma hesitated for a moment and said with an ugly expression.
“Sister-in-law, that’s not what we meant…” Chen Lin lowered her head beside her and whispered, not knowing how to explain.
Bai Ran looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly. “What else do you mean? Isn’t it like what you said earlier? You helped Chen Chen cheat me and let me have more opportunities to interact with him. That way, we’ll slowly reconcile?”
“Sister-in-law, we just hope that the misunderstanding between you and my brother won’t continue. We took this opportunity…” Chen Lin explained softly.
“Yes, Ran Ran. I admit that it’s my fault for pretending to be sick, but I really don’t have any bad intentions. I just hope that you can give Chen Chen a chance to see his heart and seriously think about what to do with your heart. I’m not forcing you to do anything, really..” Grandma looked up at Bai Ran with eyes filled with apology.
