C203 The Company of Three Children
Baili Jing did not want to waste any more time. After settling the matter peacefully, she came out of the coffee shop and hurried to the road. A man's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Miss, are you going to dress like this and leave?"
Baili Jing turned around and saw that it was the man she had bumped into at the coffee shop. She frowned. She did not really like his way of hitting on her. "Do you have anything else?"
Lin Yi looked at the girl in front of him who had suddenly changed her expression and felt that it was funny. It seemed that her good intentions had been misunderstood by her.
He smiled gently, "I just wanted to tell you that I just bought a dress and wanted to give it to my mother, although it was not suitable for her age. However, it's still better than wearing dirty clothes. "
Baili Jing lowered her head and only then did she notice that the orange-yellow thing had already become very conspicuous. Furthermore, the position was very awkward. . .
She smiled embarrassedly, "Then I will have to trouble you. "
Lin Yi smiled, "It's better to borrow the washroom of the coffee shop. You go first. I'll go to the car to get my clothes. I'll be back soon. "
Baili Jing thanked him sincerely.
She borrowed the washroom and changed into the skirt that Lin Yi had given her. The hanging plates on the skirt were still there. She looked at the price and saw the five-digit number. She silently remembered it in her heart.
The color of the skirt was very simple and elegant. After putting it on, it was quite fitting. She put down the tied up bun and her wine-red curly hair fell down on her shoulders.
Lin Yi waited for her in the hall. When he saw her come out, he smiled gently. "It suits you very well. " At first, she dressed like a delinquent, but now she looked like a young lady from a rich family.
"Thank you. My name is Baili Jing. How should I address you?" Baili Jing generously stretched out her hand.
He politely shook her hand. "Lin Yi. "
"Lin Yi, could you please leave me a business card? I will pay you for the dress another day. "
Lin Yi smiled. "No need. Since we have met, it can be considered fate. "
She stared at him. "You should give it to me. I, Baili Jing, will not take other people's things for free. "
"Alright then. This is my business card. " Lin Yi smiled and passed his business card to her.
"Alright. I have your phone number now. I will contact you. Thank you for today. I'm in a hurry. I'll thank you another day. " Baili Jing put away the business card and said goodbye to him with a smile.
Baili Jing, Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile. If he remembered correctly, Yun had a younger sister called Baili Jing. Could it be her?
Baili Jing sat on the taxi and on the way home, she kept thinking about what Baili Feiyan had said. If what she said was true. . . Then Xia Dong was not a simple woman. First, she held Beitang Shen in her hand, and now she was trying to get close to her brother.
Su Yunqian was not a good person either. She looked elegant like a goddess, but in fact, she was cruel and merciless. She was really disgusting to the extreme.
During lunch time, old madame's gaze swept across her three great-grandsons one by one. Her mood was somewhat complicated. This was the first time there were so many children at the Baili family's dining table.
The three little fellows sat next to each other, and Xia Dong sat beside Xiaoguai, making it convenient for her to take care of her.
The dishes were all served and the servants served everyone rice. Everyone was waiting for old madame to start eating.
Old madame said, "Everyone, let's eat. "
Xiaoguai blinked her large eyes and called out to every elder in a childish voice, "Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Zeng eat, grandma eat. Daddy and mommy eat. Big brother and Mr. Yi eat. Xiaoguai also wants to eat. "
Old madame smiled until she could not close her mouth, "Be good. Look at how sweet our little mouths are. Be good and sit at Grandma Zeng's place, okay?"
Xiaoguai lifted her head to look at Xia Dong and Xia Dong nodded to her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I want to sit by Grandma Zeng's side. "
Xia Dong carried her to old madame's side and old madame touched her head and smiled kindly, "Be good. What do you want to eat? Grandma Zeng will give it to you. "
The little girl obediently said, "I don't want Grandma Zeng to take it. Grandma Zeng is tired and I can take it myself. I can also help Grandma Zeng take the vegetables. "
"Yo, how old are you? You already know how to feel sorry for Grandma Zeng. " old madame smiled and narrowed her eyes. This soft and tender little fellow hurt to the bone and she could not help but feel pity in her heart. How could such a cute little girl have such a terrible illness?0
Xiaoguai was not only obedient and cute but also very filial. When she saw old madame extending her chopsticks towards which dish more often, she stretched out her arm to help old madame pick up the dishes and made old madame praise her sensibility.
Great-Grandfather Fang sat in the wheelchair and ate silently. Whatever the servants fed him, he would eat. His eyes were unfocused and he did not react to anyone who spoke to him. Only when old madame spoke to him, he would raise his eyelids. However, he only glanced at her before lowering his head again.
Xia Dong had heard from Baili Han that the old man had Alzheimer's disease and had lost the ability to speak. He could only say a few simple words. His memory was chaotic, and he would often mistake someone for someone else, or he would not be able to remember it at all.
Because of the existence of three children, the atmosphere at the dining table was still quite harmonious. Xia Dong also heaved a sigh of relief. After the meal, the servant wanted to push the old man to walk around the back garden.
Xia Dong took the initiative to ask her to accompany Great-Grandfather and the three children also volunteered to follow. Baili Han naturally did not feel at ease letting Xiaoguai follow. Old madame smiled and patted Xiaoguai's head and said, "Be good. You stay behind to accompany Grandma Zeng, okay?"
"Okay. " The little darling nodded obediently.
Old madame carried her onto her lap, "Come, Grandma Zeng will tell you a story. "
Xia Dong pushed Great-Grandfather into the pavilion and took a palm-leaf fan to fan him. He was still in good spirits and pointed at the grape rack. He gurgled and stuttered as he did not know what he was saying.
Xiaobao blinked. "Mom, he said. Does Great-Grandfather want to eat grapes?"
Yi knocked on his forehead. "Idiot. Grandpa Zeng wants to go under the grape rack. He used to like to stay under the grape rack. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. " Xia Dong was still guessing what Great-Grandfather meant. She did not expect her son to give him an answer. She bent down and said with a smile, "Grandpa, sit down. We will go over to the grape rack now. "
"Ah. . . " Great-Grandfather nodded. It seemed that Yi had guessed right.
He pushed Great-Grandfather to the grape rack. Sure enough, he calmed down. He tilted his head, as if he was going to sleep. Xia Dong ordered a servant to bring a blanket over.
Taking the blanket to cover Great-Grandfather, Xia Dong slowly shook the palm-leaf fan and softly spoke to the children, "Yi, Xiaobao, Great-Grandfather Zeng is asleep. You guys go back to your rooms to rest. "
"Mom, we will stay here to accompany you. "
Xia Dong blinked. "How about this? You guys bring the chessboard over and play chess here. "
Yi smiled. "Xiaobao, let's play five pieces. "
The two little fellows ran back to retrieve the chessboard. They laid it on the stone table and started fighting.
