Chapter 79 -79: As long as you’re not embarrassed, the embarrassed one is someone else.
Bai Yurou was very happy to learn that Grandpa Li was willing to see her.
She carried a gift bag and arrived at Grandpa Li’s home.
As she walked into the living room and saw a pair of pink slippers in the shoe-changing area, her brows furrowed.
Grandpa Li lived alone, and she had never heard any rumors about him having a female companion.
Li Yehan would visit Grandpa Li, but he didn’t have a girlfriend, nor was there any gossip about him.
Could these slippers belong to Nan Qiao?
With this answer in mind, Bai Yurou’s face darkened.
Bai Yurou, struggling internally for a moment, slipped her feet into the pink slippers.
Pretending to be unaware of anything, she walked into the living room with a gentle smile on her face.
“Good afternoon, Grandpa Li.”
Grandpa Li nodded, “Yurou, what brings you here today?”
Bai Yurou placed the bag on the table and said cheerfully, “Grandpa, try these medicines; they will definitely benefit your health.
I also took some for my grandpa, and he said his body felt much better after taking them.”
Grandpa Li didn’t even look at the medicines and had no intentions of taking them.
He had Nan Qiao to help regulate his health, so why would he trust the words of an outsider?
“It’s the thought that counts, but my health is something Qiaoqiao is more familiar with.
Since these medicines worked for your grandpa, you should leave them for him to use.”
The supplements and medicine that Bai Yurou had brought were so mercilessly rejected by Grandpa Li.
Bai Yurou’s heart was not pleased.
She was enduring the discomfort and kept her face as gentle as ever, “Grandpa Li, my sister isn’t a professional doctor after all; you should still go to the hospital for checkups, hospitals are more reliable.”
“What do you mean?
Are you saying Qiao’s medical skills are inadequate?”
“No, Grandpa Li, that’s not what I meant.
I was just thinking that since she isn’t a professional doctor, she might not consider everything.
It’s definitely more reassuring to have a checkup at the hospital.”
Grandpa Li’s face was neither angry nor happy, as if he had no emotion, Bai Yurou couldn’t read him and could only keep smiling despite feeling uncomfortable inside.
The atmosphere was awkward, and Uncle Fu felt so uneasy that he wanted to leave.
Since Grandpa Li wasn’t speaking, Bai Yurou didn’t know what else to say.
She had a feeling, Grandpa Li didn’t really want to talk to her.
Could she be mistaken?
Perhaps Grandpa Li was just very stern?
With that thought, Bai Yurou gathered the courage to speak again, “Grandpa Li, I am a doctor too.
Perhaps I could give you a checkup.”
Grandpa Li replied very sharply, “Qiaoqiao just examined me.”
Bai Yurou: “…”
She had never felt this awkward before!
Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao; could it be that every sentence had to involve Nan Qiao?
Was Nan Qiao really that important to the Li Family?
Did Nan Qiao save Grandpa Li’s life and thus deserved to save the entire family?
Did they expect Li Yehan to repay with a marriage promise?
Bai Yurou ranted in her heart, but sitting in front of Grandpa Li, in the Li Family’s home, she could only force a smile and keep up the laughter.
“Since my sister has already examined you, let’s leave it at that.
I’ll come check on you next time when I’m free,” Bai Yurou’s expression gradually became unnatural.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right for conversation, Uncle Fu chimed in, “Master, weren’t you going to the supermarket to buy some things?
It’s time, the car is waiting at the door.”
Grandpa Li suddenly realized, “That’s right, I need to buy groceries.
Qiaoqiao is coming for dinner this weekend, so I need to prepare in advance.”
Bai Yurou’s face burned with embarrassment; although no one scolded her, she still felt as if the two old men were rejecting her.
Bai Yurou stood up and took the initiative to leave, “Grandpa Li, since you have things to do, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
“Alright, Yurou.
When you have time, practice your medical skills well.
I heard from your grandpa that your grandma, who stays in the hospital where you’re interning and under your care, was poisoned.
That’s too dangerous!”
Bai Yurou, holding back her anger, forced a smile, “You’re right, Grandpa Li.
I’ve already reported the situation to the hospital director; the hospital will deal with it.”
“If they can deal with it, that’s fine.
I’m just afraid of mishandling,” Grandpa Li sighed.
Bai Yurou couldn’t stand it any longer and turned her head to leave.
She was really furious!
After leaving Grandpa Li’s house, Bai Yurou drove to a deserted place, angrily pounding the steering wheel until her hands turned red.
Her phone rang, and seeing the number on the display, she immediately answered.
The person on the other end said, “Miss Bai, Mr.
Li’s afternoon tea time is approaching.
Today, he will be going to the Hua Kai cafe.”
Bai Yurou finally felt a sense of relief, “Okay.”
She hung up the phone and drove to the restaurant, bought some afternoon tea, and arrived at Li Yehan’s company.
The receptionist had seen Bai Yurou before but didn’t notice any appointment for her today.
“Miss Bai, do you have an appointment to see Mr.
Li?”
Bai Yurou, holding the box of afternoon treats, said, “I’m bringing afternoon tea to Brother Ye Han.
As childhood friends, do I need to make an appointment?
Don’t worry; I’ll take responsibility if there are any issues.”
Bai Yurou, pointing to a staff member behind her, said, “This afternoon tea is what I bought for you.”
“Thank you, Miss Bai!”
When the receptionist saw the brand of the afternoon tea, she realized Bai Yurou’s meal was the 1888 set.
The receptionist watched as Bai Yurou got into the elevator and went up.
However, as soon as Bai Yurou reached the elevator on his floor, she was stopped by a secretary.
This floor was Li Yehan’s office area, and it wasn’t going to be so simple for Bai Yurou to sneak in.
Bai Yurou, upon seeing Secretary Zhao, was very calm.
“Secretary Zhao, I bought this afternoon tea for Brother Ye Han; I’ll take it to him,” said Bai Yurou as she moved forward.
Secretary Zhao blocked her path, “Miss Bai, I was not informed that Mr.
Li asked you to bring afternoon tea.”
Bai Yurou’s brow creased; how could a mere secretary block her way?
What significance did Secretary Zhao hold?
Although Bai Yurou didn’t speak, Secretary Zhao could tell from her eyes that Bai Yurou’s thoughts were not clean.
Secretary Zhao’s expression remained indifferent, “Miss Bai, without a prior appointment, you can’t see Mr.
Li.
He is very busy every day.
If everyone came to see him without an appointment, how would he get any work done?”
Bai Yurou’s face turned very ugly, and she replied discontentedly, “Secretary Zhao, I have known Brother Ye Han since childhood, we grew up together.
Do I still need your permission to bring him afternoon tea?”
“Miss Bai, you don’t need my permission, but you do need Mr.
Li’s permission.”
Bai Yurou was left speechless, holding the afternoon tea, heavy and tired; she really wanted to throw all of it right in Secretary Zhao’s face.
She clenched her teeth and said with a forced smile, “Secretary Zhao, please go inform Brother Ye Han for me.”
Secretary Zhao smiled, “I’m sorry, but Mr.
Li is busy and doesn’t have time to receive anyone.”
Bai Yurou: “!!!”
