Chapter 140: Chapter 140

Cheng Junnan nodded, it seemed he truly encountered an urgent matter, otherwise how could he miss such a good opportunity?

Flashed a smile at Gu Tiantian, Cheng Junnan turned around and walked out.

After Cheng Junnan left, Gu Tiantian’s phone started vibrating.

Seeing the caller ID, Gu Tiantian was stunned once more.

The sudden call from Grandma, without a second thought, she rushed back immediately.

As for Bai Chenyao...

Her voice slightly trembling, Gu Tiantian tried hard to steady herself and lowered her voice.

On the other end of the line, Bai Chenyao’s voice was exceedingly cold and stern.

Gu Tiantian glanced at Grandma and lowered her voice even more.

"Right at the hospital, not on the twelfth floor, but on the tenth floor."

The icy tone, carrying a trace of chill, pierced through the phone, striking directly at Gu Tiantian’s eardrums.

"A Yao, I’ll be back right away!"

The voice grew even colder; Gu Tiantian took a deep breath and glanced at the room number.

Before she could explain further, the call was disconnected.

Just then, Grandma Gu, who was lying on the hospital bed, raised her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Tiantian hurried over.

Grandma Gu’s eyes were a bit cloudy, and her vision blurry. Hearing the familiar voice of her granddaughter, her eyes gradually cleared.

Hearing Grandma’s voice, Gu Tiantian couldn’t help bursting into tears.

Fearing she might scare Grandma, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face, trickling over her hand, one drop at a time onto the hospital bed.

Watching this, Grandma Gu’s eyes also grew moist.

"Good child, Grandma is fine. I scared you."

Gu Tiantian shook her head, quickly wiping the tears from her face, not daring to let Grandma worry any further.

"As long as Grandma’s okay, Tian Tian was really frightened earlier. Grandma, please don’t scare Tian Tian like that again in the future."

Grandma Gu smiled and nodded.

Looking around, seeing that they were in a hospital room, and the room was very spacious and bright, Grandma Gu looked puzzled.

"Tian Tian, where is your aunt and Liangliang?"

Wiping her face clean, Gu Tiantian replied with a smile.

"Grandma, Aunt and Liangliang are down on the fourth floor, we’re currently on the tenth floor. Once you are well, we’ll go down to see them."

Moreover, return the money then too!

After this incident, Gu Tiantian dared not delay even for a moment.

Grandma is getting old, and she can’t afford the turmoil anymore.

It was only at this moment that Gu Tiantian recalled the astronomical figure Bai Chenyao had transferred to her account.

Initially, she planned never to touch that money because it truly came in a disgraceful manner.

She deliberately ignored it, thinking that by not using the money, she could remain her true self, even if by Bai Chenyao’s side.

Once used, subconsciously she felt there was no difference between genuine feelings and being transactional.

Humans...sometimes have to bow down to reality.

Thinking of this, Gu Tiantian smiled and lifted her head to look at Grandma.

In her ear, she heard footsteps approaching from outside.

Her intended words suddenly changed.

"Grandma, I’m going out for a bit, I’ll be back soon."

Grandma assumed her granddaughter had work matters to attend to, nodding her head.

"Okay, go ahead, take care, Grandma will be fine here by herself, you go quickly."

Gu Tiantian responded with a hum, already at the hospital room door.

Pushing the door open, she was greeted by Bai Chenyao standing outside.

The icy and sharp aura instantly enveloped her entirely.
