Chapter 554: Chapter 554

Just as she spoke, the big white dog sprang up from the floor, sitting upright and staring blankly at her: "Didn’t you say you weren’t leaving?"

"Time to —— eat." Gu Nuan told him, "Everyone is laughing at you."

Zhang Sanfeng’s suppressed laughter rang endlessly in his throat.

Xiao Yebai finally seemed to come to his senses, got up, and with one hand, stripped off his vest. The weather was hot last night, so he slept topless, only wearing a vest, and ended up covered in sweat.

Gu Nuan knew he sweat easily, so after her dad came out of the washroom, she took a set of clean clothes for him to change into and placed them inside the washroom.

While Xiao Yebai was wiping himself down, Gu Nuan’s dad and she exerted themselves to move Zhang Sanfeng from the bed to the wheelchair, then pushed Zhang Sanfeng to the balcony where there was a basin and a faucet, a more spacious area for him to wash up. Google seaʀᴄh 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

Gu Nuan turned around to prepare a new sling for her husband’s arm.

At that moment, her phone in her pocket vibrated once. Upon answering, Gu Nuan saw it was a message from Ou Yanan.

——I heard you went back to your hometown.

Gu Nuan thought for a moment, then replied: Yes.

——There’s something I might have to tell you, something happened in Director Xiao’s hospital room last night. Someone tried to break in.

Without saying much more, Gu Nuan understood it all at once.

She held the phone between her fingers, clearly anxious.

When Xiao Yebai stepped out of the washroom, she went up to him and said, "Do you know about what happened in the Director’s hospital room last night?"

This matter was certainly not that simple; it was not just about Xiao Jianming’s life or death.

When Xiao Yebai heard this, he slightly furrowed his brows, just about to speak.

At the door, someone was pounding on the Gu Family’s door, yelling, "Old Gu, Old Gu, something terrible has happened——"

Gu Nuan’s dad hurried to open the door and saw it was an old neighbor knocking, he asked, "What happened?"

"Your mom, she’s out in the street scolding your wife. You’d better go and see."

Gu Nuan’s dad froze for a moment, then turned back to put on his shoes.

Gu Nuan and Xiao Yebai definitely both became tense and walked to the doorway.

Gu Nuan’s dad stopped the two of them, "Don’t go. It’s nothing. The elderly are hot-tempered; it happens often. She’ll cool off after a while. I’ll bring your mom back."

Saying this, Gu Nuan’s dad was in a hurry, opened the door, and ran towards the scene.

Gu Nuan stepped forward then drew her foot back.

She was clear about what problems her grandmother had.

Indeed, just as her dad said, it would be worse for her to go. It could end up with her mom directly confronting the grandmother.

Xiao Yebai went to the door, meaning to follow Gu Nuan’s dad, but his wife tugged at his clothes to turn back.

"Is this okay?" He turned around, genuinely concerned, and asked.

As if spoken lightly, the two words fell from her lips, but they only served to make his worries grow even stronger.

He took her hand and walked back to the living room. At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng maneuvered his electric wheelchair back from the balcony, saying, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"No need, please start having breakfast." Gu Nuan bowed her head, turned around, and walked to the kitchen to get them chopsticks, spoons, and bowls.

Seeing her , clearly not like the indestructible little cockroach she usually was, made the two men in the living room furrow their brows.

In the kitchen, Gu Nuan’s fingertips touched the phone in her pocket; her brows tightly knit, and her heart felt like it was being squeezed tight.

Whether Ou Yanan was actually Gu Sheng or not remained unsaid. What she feared most was that when she faced the situation, she might suddenly find out that money couldn’t solve the problem.
