Chapter 681: Yu Ting Villa Maid Bai Chenxi asked her. “That maid looks quite familiar. Where have I seen her before?” He then slapped his own head. “It’s the Yu Ting Villa maid. I met her in Bai Qinghao’s Yu Ting Villa. Why is she here at the old Bai family’s mansion?”
“She was always a maid from the old Bai mansion. She’s quite quick-witted and managed to work at the Yu Ting Villa for several years because she won Elder Bai’s favour. She’s just been transferred back.” Bai Jingrou smiled and replied. “Right now, she is the Elder’s personal maid.”
“Do you mean that she is trying to seduce the elder?”
“You’re looking down on her appetite.” Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly. “The man she likes is not the old man who refuses to die, Bai Chongshan. It’s the young Bai Qinghao.”
“I really can’t tell.” Bai Chenxi appeared deep in thought.
“There’s a lot you fail to notice. How could the people serving the Elder be simple in any way?” Bai Jingrou continued mockingly. “Back then, Fang Xinxin was so ugly. Did you notice that she is actually a stunning beauty?”
“Fine. I admit that I’m blind.” Bai Chenx’s expression was slightly heavy.
“Ji Qing, this maid, will be extremely useful in the future!” Bai Jingrou smiled calculatively.
“Don’t talk about the future. Let’s talk about the present.” Bai Chenxi frowned. “After tomorrow, Fang Xinxin will be Bai Qinghao’s formal wife in the eyes of the public. Your beautiful dream is about to be ruined.”
“Hmph.” Bai Jingrou harrumphed coldly. “At the moment, it seems like only Elder Bai has the ability to stop the wedding.”
“That old thing can barely wait for Bai Qinghao to get married. How could he possibly stop the wedding?” Bai Chenxi hated the surname ‘Bai’. This was because though he carried the surname as well, he was not acknowledged as a member of the Bai family.
“That’s not within his control.” Jingrou’s smile was especially ‘graceful’.
That evening, the Bai family’s elder, Bai Chongshan, became seriously ill and fell into a coma. He was immediately sent to the Sheng Shi Group’s Jia Ya Hospital.
On the thirty-eighth floor of Jia Ya Hospital, Grandfather Bai was admitted into one of the hospital suites in the VIP patient ward.
Bai Qinghao, Fang Xinxin as well as Bai Jingrou’s family of three stood inside the hospital.
Even Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi rushed over in a hurry.
“Doctor, how is my father doing right now?” Bai Hong immediately asked the moment he stepped into the hospital room.
Doctor Guo Yi began seriously. “Elder Bai suffered a heart attack and is currently in a coma. The situation isn’t very optimistic right now.”
“When will he wake up?”
“We can’t be certain about that. It might take a few days, but it may also…” Doctor Guo’s words meant that there was a possibility Bai Chongshan would never wake up.
Bai Hong’s expression was heavy.
Guo Yi scanned the room. “Quiet should be maintained in the hospital room. It would be best if only one or two family members remain to watch the patient. Everyone else should return.” Saying so, he left the hospital room.
Bai Jingrou immediately volunteered. “Uncle, Auntie, please go home first. I’ll stay behind to take care of Grandfather.”
Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi were unmoved by her way of addressing them.
“You’re not the elder’s actual blood relative.” Bai Hong responded. “How could we make you stay behind?”
Bai Jingrou was directly and clearly humiliated. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
Bai Chenxi spoke heavily. “In that case, we will trouble you guys to decide who should stay behind.”
“We will wait outside.” Huang Zhishu knew that their presence was unwanted. She tugged her children to the hallway outside.
This was the patient’s ward for the VIP. There were comfortable chairs scattered all across the hallway.
