Chapter 1237 (1/2)

“The third time, the third time I sent her to the Bai family, I felt a pain in my heart and fainted. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. From then on, Beibei seemed to have changed into a completely different person. She stopped making trouble and followed Bai Shida to the Bai family. She kept telling me how wonderful it was to be in the Bai family so that I didn’t have to worry.

“If it wasn’t Qian Lan making the trouble today, I probably wouldn’t know what kind of life she was living in the Bai family. When she was two years old, this child was beaten by her mother yet she refused to speak. Now, she is being abused by others. How pitiful is this child…”

As Grandma spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks.

Gong Yi listened quietly. He couldn’t imagine that the little girl grew up in such a harsh environment. Her gentle and timid character was probably developed in this way.

She had no friends, no parents. Other than her Grandma, she had grown up quietly for the past eighteen years.

Gong Yi crouched down, gently holding the old woman’s hand. Beibei wasn’t having a good time, but how could she have a better day? This old woman had suffered from the harshness of the world.

“Grandma, everyone’s fate is different. You can’t stop all possibilities of Beibei’s future just because you’re afraid. Beibei isn’t her mother,” he said softly.

Grandma stopped crying. She looked towards Gong Yi. “Did you really give her that one million dollars?”

“Yes.”

“Are you Beibei’s boyfriend?”

“Yes.” Gong Yi nodded without hesitation.

Grandma was silent for a moment, then she said, “I need time to think about it.”

“Alright, Grandma. I’ll wait for you to think it over.”

……

Gong Yi came out of the room, and Bai Beibei was waiting outside.

“Brother-in-law, what did my Grandma say to you?”

“Nothing much. We just chatted for a while.”

“Oh, brother-in-law, you can go back now. Now…”

“I won’t go back tonight.”

Bai Beibei was stunned.

“I’ve told your Grandma, you don’t have to worry.”

Bai Beibei looked down at her toes and said in an embarrassed voice, “But, there are only two rooms at home. Even if you stay, you won’t have a place to sleep.”

So this was what she was thinking about.

Gong Yi raised his eyebrows. “I’ll sleep in your room.”

“What?” Bai Beibei raised her head in fright.

“You sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor,” Gong Yi continued.

Bai Beibei blushed. She had misunderstood him. Her first reaction just now was that he wanted to… sleep on the same bed as her.

“Okay.” She nodded. “Then let’s take a bath first.”

……

Gong Yi looked at the small room in front of him. This was the bathroom. There were a few basins inside, and there was no shower.

“Do you always take your bath here?” He asked the little girl next to him.

“Yes, I get some hot water in the basin. Brother-in-law, you can stand and shower later.” The girl’s face was fair. She was holding a white nightgown in her arms, as elegant as a begonia.

Gong Yi didn’t say anything.

“Brother-in-law, you go in and shower first.”

Gong Yi looked around. “You go first. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Okay.” Bai Beibei walked in obediently.

Gong Yi stood outside and waited. He heard the sound of water coming from inside. It was very soft, and at this time, these sounds make people imagine things.
