Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Buy Tickets Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Buy Tickets An Zhiyuan immediately agreed, “Yes! Grandma, I understand. I definitely won’t bully Bai Xiao. I know how my big brother is; he’s pretty tough. I’m even afraid he will break my legs!” He also didn’t understand what Li Chunhua was up to, after all if it weren’t for Li Chunhua’s interference back then, he would never have had this fate with Bai Xiao.
At that time, the old lady seemed as if she wouldn’t mind killing Bai Xiao.
Yet in front of so many people, they were all actors.
An Cheng, however, felt good about the old lady, thinking it noble for a foster grandmother to treat her this kindly and lovingly.
“Old lady, rest assured, we will definitely treat your family���s Bai Xiao well, and if he dares to treat her badly, I, as a father, won’t forgive him,” he said.
Li Chunhua nodded, “That’s good, that’s good. In-laws, Bai Xiao is still young. If there’s anything she does wrong, please be forgiving. After all, her parents died early and didn’t have the chance to properly teach her. I, this old woman, have things I’ve done over the years that I’m not proud of. Just don’t hold it against her.”
An Chu and Wei Shufen both smiled, “Don’t worry, old lady, we will love her like our own child and won’t pick on her faults.”
The banquet ended like this.
Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan escorted the old lady back to where she was staying, which was a hotel nearby.
It was Shang Feng who had rented it, and today Bai Jianguo had brought her from there.
At the hotel, they found out that the room had already been checked out, and Bai Jianguo had long since disappeared, leaving the old lady behind all by herself.
Bai Xiao couldn’t help but be amused.
Bai Jianguo indeed could do such a thing.
Shang Feng was no good either, burning his bridges too quickly.
He wasn’t even afraid of what people would say about his character.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua actually laughed, “No worries! I had guessed it would be this way. I haven’t fallen into their trap! It’s bound to end like this, and I, this old woman, wouldn’t not know it—taking people’s money to ward off disasters for them. I didn’t ease their worries, so of course it ended up like this.”
“Zhiyuan, grandma is asking for your favor this time. Go to the train station and buy a ticket home for grandma. I’ll go home. I’m not afraid of what that heartless person might do. Would he still dare to dishonor me?” The thing that angered the old lady the most was her own son.
He had just left her and walked away, without considering that she was nearly eighty years old. What if something happened to her on the way?
An Zhiyuan nodded, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Speaking of leaving, it’s not like we can leave immediately today. Let Bai Xiao check you into another room first. You rest here, and I’ll head to the station to see if there are any tickets available.”
Bai Xiao nodded and asked Li Chunhua to sit and wait for her in the lobby while she saw An Zhiyuan out.
“Given your grandma’s age, she can’t travel alone. It’s not a good idea for her to undertake such a long journey by herself. I think you should consider maybe I should take her back?” An Zhiyuan thought it through; they couldn’t really just ignore the old lady.
Even if the old lady really treated Bai Xiao poorly, it was not conceivable to be utterly inhumane.
Bai Xiao shook her head, “You better not. How would it look if you took my grandma back? The villagers might talk! Anyway, since we’re going to visit my sister and brother-in-law, we might as well take her with us to my older brother’s place. My older brother and sister can take her back, and that might even shut up my uncle’s mouth. Otherwise, who knows what more slander and rumors will be waiting for us?”
She didn’t want Bai Jianguo to exploit An Zhiyuan as a topic.
