Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Gu Tiantian went on and on, simply because she didn’t want Bai Chenyao to make any moves.

Given Bai Chenyao’s methods, Gu Tiantian subconsciously felt that her great-aunt couldn’t handle it.

Moreover, although she was furious and wanted to tear her great-aunt apart at the time, it was because her grandma had a heart attack and she was anxious.

No matter how her great-aunt was, Cheng Junnan had already kicked her a few times, and she was seriously injured.

Otherwise, her uncle wouldn’t have rushed over overnight.

Speaking of her uncle, Gu Tiantian only then noticed that he had left at some point.

It seemed earlier he said he was going out for some fresh air, and then he never showed up again.

In the hospital bed, Grandma Gu noticed the commotion on this side, and quickly spoke up.

"Tian Tian, Mr. Bai, let’s talk this out calmly."

Although the old dean blocked her view, she turned her head slightly and saw Mr. Bai’s hand pinching her granddaughter’s chin, feeling a deep ache in her heart.

Gu Tiantian was startled and quickly reached out to pry Bai Chenyao’s hand away.

In the past, she was never able to pry it away, but this time, it was very easy.

She was surprised deep down, but quickly brushed it off, thinking about her grandma, but her hand was still held by Bai Chenyao, so she couldn’t get over there.

The old dean, having finished examining the grandaunt, was slightly taken aback when he heard Gu Tiantian’s address for Bai Chenyao.

However, thinking about Bai Chenyao’s temperament, he didn’t show any signs on his face, and instead gave a gentle, loving smile.

"Mr. Bai, Grandma Gu is just physically weak and can’t bear any emotional shock. She needs good rest and recuperation. We’ll keep her in for observation for a few days, and then I’ll check her again. If there are no other issues, she can be discharged."

Bai Chenyao nodded, indicating he understood.

The old dean looked at him, opened his mouth as if to speak, but seeing Bai Chenyao had already averted his gaze, he refrained.

The young man from the Bai Family, oh well...

Forget it, each generation must find its own blessings!

Even the elder Mr. Bai hadn’t said a word, why should he worry unnecessarily?

The old dean smiled once more at Gu Tiantian and Grandma Gu before pushing the door open and leaving.

In the ward, only Grandma Gu and the other three were left.

Staring at her granddaughter, Grandma Gu frowned tightly.

"Tian Tian, your grandma is still waiting for your answer!"

Her cheeks still burning, she only wanted to avoid the question.

The cold, emotionless male voice by her side arose.

"You can hide it for a while, but can you hide it forever?"

It was as though she was suddenly struck by something, and Gu Tiantian swayed.

She had been hospitalized for gastroenteritis, and although she had somewhat recovered, the call from her grandma made her rush out hastily. After a big fight with Zhang Yuexin, enduring until now, she was already extremely exhausted.

And the issue of her relationship with Bai Chenyao only added pressure on her nerves.

She never thought there’d be a day when she’d be confronted directly by her grandma on this matter.

Such a disgraceful relationship... how could she bring herself to explain?

Especially when her grandma’s health was so poor, barely stabilizing after a rescue.

What if she got agitated and something went wrong?

Regardless, Gu Tiantian decided firmly not to mention it at all.

Grandma Gu stared at her granddaughter, catching the flicker of panic in her eyes, her hand under the blanket clenching tightly into a fist.

Bai Chenyao’s cold, harsh voice sounded again, with a hint of mockery.

"Is our relationship really that hard to speak about?"

It’s more than just hard to speak!

Gu Tiantian responded in her heart, utterly unspeakable.

Bai Chenyao said nothing more, just nodded to Grandma Gu, suddenly released Gu Tiantian’s hand, slowly turned around, walked to the sofa behind, and sat down.
