Hearing that, Bai Ning looked up at Lu Qin. She really didn't expect this to be the reason.
Lu Qin continued to hold the teacup and blew on it. Instantly, the tea mist filled the air, and the fragrance of the tea also spread out. He took another sip and said, "After you left, I talked to your grandma a few times. She told me a lot about you."
When she thought of her grandmother, Bai Ning's mind was filled with images of the old woman who had taken care of her every day, cooked for her, and looked out from her house after school, waiting for her to come home.
Her heart was warm and her eyes revealed a gentle expression. The corners of her mouth unconsciously raised as she asked, "Is grandmother well?"
"She's in good health, but she doesn't have much energy. It's probably because you're not by her side. She's quite lonely." Lu Qin said.
Hearing this, Bai Ning fell silent. Her eyes drooped slightly, and a touch of sadness flashed across them. She was afraid that her grandmother would be too emotional and sad, so she left in a hurry before the latter came back from the hospital. Moreover, she didn't know how to bring up this separation.
Lu Qin looked at her desolate expression and said, "Actually, your grandmother is already in S city now. Not long after you left, your adoptive mother brought her here. She's so close, so you can visit her anytime."
"Yes," Bai Ning replied faintly. She had long known that her grandmother would be taken to S city, so she was not surprised.
However, she changed her mind and asked with a conflicted expression, "How do you know so much?"
This was very strange. Even when she had lived at her grandmother's house before, she had never seen her grandmother interact with their family, nor had she heard anything about him from her grandmother's mouth. Now, he seemed to know everything.
Lu Qin didn't answer, but instead changed the topic, "Do you know where your grandma is living now?"
Bai Ning raised her eyebrows and chuckled. She jokingly asked, "How do you know everything? Are you a gigolo that my adoptive mother raised outside? "
Gigolo? Which part of him looked like a gigolo? Moreover, how could an old woman be worthy of being his sugar mommy?
Lu Qin's face turned black in an instant. Wasn't she mocking him?!
"You have a really rich imagination!" He said through gritted teeth.
"Thank you for the compliment." Bai Ning replied, looking at Lu Qin with a faint smile.
Lu Qin was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He picked up the teacup and took a big gulp of tea. However, because it was too hot, he frowned in pain.
Seeing his angry look, Bai Ning said indifferently, "But, to be honest, you're such a young and handsome man. My adoptive mother probably couldn't afford to raise you."
"Hmph," he snorted. Lu Qin snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiters came in with the dishes.
Exquisite dishes were placed on the table one after another. After they were done, the waiters left again, leaving only the two of them in the private room.
After a while, Lu Qin calmed down. He suddenly asked, "You stood at the door and couldn't enter today because the security guard took your admission notice, right? "
"You really know everything." Bai Ning said, looking at him in surprise.
"Hehe." Lu Qin smiled guiltily. "I just happened to overhear it."
Bai Ning picked up a piece of stir-fried yellow beef and said lightly, "You have really good hearing."
Lu Qin's lips curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. "You've really experienced a lot of twists and turns transferring schools."
Hearing this, Bai Ning suddenly remembered the call she received from her adoptive mother last night. She smiled and said, "Ha, someone's just causing trouble."
"Do you need my help?" Lu Qin asked with a mischievous smile.
"Nope." Bai Ning said, then put another piece of beef into her mouth and chewed.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them left the restaurant.
"Why don't I take you to see your grandmother?" Lu Qin suddenly asked as they were leaving.
Bai Ning looked at her watch and said,"It's too late today, let's go another day."
Lu Qin didn't say anything more, only replying, "Okay, I'll send you the address later."
"Okay," Bai Ning replied indifferently.
…
It was almost nine o'clock when Bai Ning arrived home. As soon as she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere at home was strange.
The couple, Bai Shijie and Jiang Meilin, sat in the living room without saying a word. They did not turn on the lights or watch TV, and they looked serious.
Bai Ning was a little confused and said, "Dad, mom, I'm back."
Hearing Bai ning's voice, Jiang Meilin got up and came over. Although she was smiling, it was not difficult to see that it was a little forced. She asked, "Ningning, you're back. It's your first day of school after transferring. Are you not used to it?"
"It was alright." Bai Ning said indifferently. She paused and asked,"Do you have something to ask me?"
