257: Grandma's Invitation

Grandma's Invitation

Bai Ran sighed and said, "Grandma, I'm indeed unhappy to know that you lied to me, but I don't have to fuss about it with you. After all, you did it for your grandson. I really don't know the truth of this matter, and I really don't have the energy to investigate it."1

"Then let's not talk about this now. Can we come over for dinner tonight?" Grandma asked.

"Grandma, you're already home?" Bai Ran was a little surprised. However, on second thought, this illness had already been exposed. Why would Grandma still stay in the hospital?!

"I'll be back in the afternoon, but I keep feeling a little uneasy. Ran Ran, come over for dinner tonight and accompany me," Grandma quickly explained.

"Grandma, I won't go first. I've been a little busy with work recently. I'll see you when I'm free, okay?" Bai Ran lowered her eyes. At this moment, she really did not have the mood to face the Chen family again.

"Ran Ran, are you still unwilling to forgive me? Should I beg you myself?" Grandma's voice was a little aggrieved.

"Ah, Grandma, that's not what I meant. I'm really busy with work. I still have to go overseas tomorrow!" Bai Ran quickly explained.

"But it's still tomorrow. Can't we come for a meal today?" Grandma was very persistent.

"I…" Bai Ran's lips moved, feeling a little awkward.

Yu Xuan watched from the side, her eyes flashing with anxiousness. She wanted to interrupt and reject her on her behalf, but she was afraid that Bai Ran would have a bad impression of her because of this.

"Ran Ran, if you don't come over, then you're still angry with me, right?" Grandma's voice was even more pitiful as she asked.

"No, no…" Bai Ran was afraid that Grandma would misunderstand. If she really fell sick from anger because of this, Bai Ran would really be guilty.

"Then I want to ask, is Chen Chen there too?" Bai Ran asked tentatively.

"He's not around. Grandma told him not to come home if he can't find evidence!" Grandma said quickly. This was actually Grandma's own idea. She already knew that Chen Chen had gone to the monitoring room and bumped into the surveillance equipment that was broken. Now, she just wanted Bai Ran to come back and their entire family to probe her determination.

"Since he's not there, I'll go." Bai Ran heaved a sigh of relief and finally felt a little relieved.

"You're going to eat there?" Yu Xuan raised her eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied.

She was originally planning to bring Bai Ran back to her house today and then go to the Heavenly Lake together tomorrow. In short, she wanted to prevent Chen Chen from looking for Bai Ran.

"Ah, wait a minute. I haven't hung up yet…" Bai Ran glanced at Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan looked a little unhappy, but she still shut her mouth.

It turned out that the greatest obstacle in the divorce was not Chen Chen, but the people in their family. Bai Ran had been heartbroken by Chen Chen, but her impression of his family was still very high.

"Ran Ran, who's beside you? She seems to be a woman? Why does it feel like she doesn't want you to eat with an old woman like me?" Grandma's voice was filled with disdain.

"No, Grandma. My friend is just asking questions! I'll go over later," Bai Ran said quickly.

"I'll get the chauffeur to pick you up. You're still in the company, right?" Grandma asked.

"This is too troublesome," Bai Ran said.

"It's okay. I'll get the chauffeur to go over now. It's not far from you. It'll be over soon. Just wait there for a while. Don't leave," Grandma instructed.

"Okay, I'll hang up first," Bai Ran said patiently.

After Bai Ran hung up, Yu Xuan immediately said, "You agreed to eat just like that?"

"Yes, Grandma insisted on asking me to go over. Besides, Chen Chen isn't around either. It's fine," Bai Ran said after some thought.

"Why else would they ask you to eat there now? Isn't it just the entire family persuading you on behalf of Chen Chen? Why do you still want to go over?" Yu Xuan said, unwilling to give up.

"I've already promised Grandma. Besides, my household register is still in the Chen family. I have to get my household register from Grandma."

Bai Ran explained, then looked at Yu Xuan and said, "I know you don't want to see me and Chen Chen tangled up in pain again. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't waver for someone who doesn't love me."

"It's good that you know. Maybe I'm a little anxious about some things, but I still want you to be happy," Yu Xuan said seriously to Bai Ran.
