"Oh, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten. Come, come with me, quickly, follow me!"
Bai Ruge felt even more urgent when she heard Ye Fei's words. She had almost forgotten the important matter she had come to see Ye Fei about when she first arrived and saw him. Now that Ye Fei had reminded her, she didn't waste any more time and immediately pulled Ye Fei to leave.
"Where are we going?"
Ye Fei was very confused and puzzled as Bai Ruge pulled him along without saying anything.
"To see my maternal grandfather!"
Bai Ruge looked up at Ye Fei and immediately replied.
"See your maternal grandfather?"
Ye Fei's expression froze with surprise upon hearing Bai Ruge's words. He then looked at Bai Ruge, saw her nodding, and became even more perplexed.
"What's wrong with your maternal grandfather? Miss, let me tell you, I'm not that kind of casual person. Even if you like me, it's impossible between us..."
Back when they were on the mountain, this woman had pestered him for a long time. Moreover, she was bold, proactive, and enthusiastic, and nothing he said made a difference. In the end, Ye Fei truly began to fear her. Now, when the woman said she wanted him to see her maternal grandfather, Ye Fei was stunned. Could it be that this woman was up to her usual tricks, using the excuse of visiting her maternal grandfather to meet his parents? No, no, Ye Fei was not that kind of person and absolutely would not allow it. Furthermore, he had come down the mountain this time to break off their engagement. He certainly didn't want to end up with more women around him if the engagement wasn't broken off.
"I'm not going, I'm not going."
After thinking this, Ye Fei immediately refused.
"What are you thinking, you fellow?"
Bai Ruge was immediately displeased by Ye Fei's words. She glared at him and stomped her foot in anger.
Not far away, Qin Bing and Qin Lan widened their eyes in shock and disbelief.
"Is this really Bai Ruge? Is she really the president of the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce?"
At this moment, the two women were filled with doubt! In their opinion, the president of such a large organization like the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce should be a very steady woman. While Qin Bing didn't know Bai Ruge well, Qin Lan did. Qin Lan knew Bai Ruge very well, having stayed in Jiangdong for a longer time. Therefore, in Qin Lan's impression, Bai Ruge was a very stable person. But the Bai Ruge before them… Qin Lan stared at Bai Ruge, her eyes wide open, and she was highly doubtful whether this was truly Bai Ruge! If it were Bai Ruge, why would she have become like this? Of course, Qin Lan could only think these thoughts to herself and did not dare to voice them.
"I want you to see my maternal grandfather because he is ill."
"What are you thinking, you fellow! I was originally planning to find you, but I heard you were coming to Jiangdong, which saved me the trouble of looking for you."
Bai Ruge looked at Ye Fei and explained. Without waiting for Ye Fei to speak, Bai Ruge added another sentence. As she spoke, she looked at Ye Fei again and pulled him outside.
Ye Fei looked at her with a face full of suspicion. He stared at her, full of doubt, wondering if what she was saying was true or false. However, after a long time, Ye Fei still couldn't figure it out.
"Bingbing, Xiaolan, you two stay here. I'm going out for a bit and will be back later."
Ye Fei turned to the two women and said. He thought about it, after all, Bai Ruge had helped him greatly. Now she had something urgent to ask of him, and he couldn't just pretend nothing had happened. Therefore, if he could help, Ye Fei naturally would.
"Okay, alright."
The two women looked at Ye Fei and nodded without saying much. Then, Ye Fei walked out with Bai Ruge and they left in a car.
"What's wrong with your maternal grandfather?"
In the car, Ye Fei turned to Bai Ruge and asked. Before Bai Ruge could speak, Ye Fei continued, "Is he sick? What kind of illness? Can doctors not treat it?"
Ye Fei was not a fool. Given Bai Ruge's status, her maternal grandfather would naturally not be an ordinary person! If it were just a minor illness, doctors should have been able to treat it. But Bai Ruge coming to him directly meant her maternal grandfather's illness was not simple. Moreover, Ye Fei had just heard Bai Ruge say that if Ye Fei hadn't been in Jiangdong, she would have gone up the mountain to find him. This further indicated that her maternal grandfather's condition was definitely unusual, though Ye Fei wasn't sure of the specifics. He could only wait for Bai Ruge to explain. Therefore, after speaking, Ye Fei stopped talking and simply looked up at Bai Ruge, patiently waiting for her answer.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics."
Bai Ruge looked at Ye Fei and shook her head, saying this. Without waiting for Ye Fei to speak, she continued. His illness was very sudden. After falling ill, he had undergone examinations in many places, but no cause could be found! In short, his illness had no identifiable cause, thus it was untreatable. Bai Ruge looked at Ye Fei and spoke slowly. Ye Fei listened quietly as Bai Ruge narrated. After a moment, Ye Fei understood what had happened.
"No identifiable cause?"
Ye Fei turned his head, his gaze falling on Bai Ruge, his face full of surprise! When Bai Ruge had first mentioned coming to see him for her maternal grandfather's illness, Ye Fei had been thinking about it. But even after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what kind of illness it was! Bai Ruge's words had truly surprised him! No identifiable cause?
"Yes! They just couldn't find the cause."
Bai Ruge looked at Ye Fei and nodded.
Ye Fei frowned deeply upon hearing this. He then began to ponder, not knowing why, but he felt that something was not quite right. In fact, Ye Fei had a suspicion, but he did not voice it, as it was merely a guess.
"Once we get there and you see my maternal grandfather, we can discuss the specifics."
Bai Ruge looked at Ye Fei, then at him again, and said no more.
"Alright!"
Ye Fei nodded in response.
"By the way, has your maternal grandfather been anywhere recently?"
Ye Fei looked at Bai Ruge and asked. At this point, Ye Fei wanted to inquire about some details. This way, it would be easier to diagnose the illness and make deductions.
"Been to some places?"
Bai Ruge's expression froze, and she looked at Ye Fei with surprise. Then, Bai Ruge slightly furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, shook her head, and replied. "I'm not too sure where he went specifically, but he only recently developed this strange illness... You can ask my maternal grandfather directly about these things later."
Ye Fei glanced at Bai Ruge. Seeing that he couldn't get much information from her, he could only shake his head and say no more. Then, the car sped along the road towards Bai Ruge's maternal grandfather's residence. After about half an hour, the two finally arrived at their destination.
