Chapter 1084: Chapter 1081: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (42)

Yan Xu’s handling speed was very fast. Bai Lu had just sent over the injury report a little after 2 PM, and by 3 PM, he had forwarded the traffic police’s decision.

The offender was sentenced to a 2000 Yuan fine plus 15 days of administrative detention and a deduction of 12 points from their license, and they were to bear all of Bai Xiangdong’s medical examination and treatment costs, a total of 10,000 Yuan.

Bai Lu showed the decision to Bai Xiangdong. "Grandpa, are you satisfied with this result?"

Bai Xiangdong had no objection to the compensation, "Only detained for 15 days, isn’t that a bit light? Hit-and-run is too despicable; fortunately, my injuries were minor. If they had been serious, I might have still been alive if he had not fled, but with him fleeing, my life was hanging by a thread."

Bai Lu understood his feelings, but this was probably the maximum penalty according to the law.

Of course, whether it was Yan Xu or Bai Lu, if they had used the Yan Family’s or Zong Family’s influence, the outcome would probably have been closer to their wishes, but she wouldn’t, nor would she want Yan Xu to break the law although he knew it.

"Grandpa, I think the 15-day detention should already serve as a strong warning."

Bai Xiangdong did not persist, "Alright, let it be, then. Does that mean I can be discharged from the hospital now?"

Bai Lu had originally thought of arranging the discharge procedures at least by tomorrow; however, since the examination results turned out fine except for some external injuries, it seemed rather pitiful to keep him confined to the hospital.

"Yeah, I’ll go and handle your discharge procedures now. You’ll stay at my place for a couple of days first, then we can arrange for someone to pick you up, okay?"

Bai Xiangdong had no objections, so by a little after 5 PM, Bai Lu had brought him back to her three-bedroom apartment.

Bai Lu had always lived there since setting foot in Capital City.

They naturally owned property in Capital City, but it was quite far from the branch hospital.

The apartment she was now in was rented.

Her father, wealthy and generous, had suggested buying an apartment near the hospital, but Bai Lu stopped him.

After wandering around the apartment, Bai Xiangdong felt quite satisfied.

"Xiao Lizi, this place has a nice view; why don’t I just buy it for you?"

Bai Lu teased him with a laugh, "Grandpa, you’d better save your money, and maybe you really could find a grandma for me and Yen Yen with culinary skills as great as Grandma Jing’s!"

Seeing her bring up this topic again, Bai Xiangdong didn’t insist further and watched her tidy up the place, feeling a bit of heartache.

"How about we find a nanny from home to come take care of you here? With how busy you are at work, you can’t even come home to a warm meal."

Bai Lu always felt quite comfortable and carefree living in Capital City, but her elders always tended to think of her as a lonely figure wandering alone in a strange land.

"Grandpa, I’m really comfortable now. The property management services here are very thoughtful. If I need a hourly nanny, I can book in advance for various housekeeping services, so you don’t have to worry that I’m living in a mess."

Bai Xiangdong was half-convinced, but after inspecting the entire apartment inside and out and confirming that every nook and cranny was clean, and that the several potted plants on the balcony were also thriving and well maintained, he felt reassured.

"No wonder you come home less and less; it turns out you are living quite the comfortable life here."

Bai Lu briefly tidied up the guest room, putting on clean bedsheets and a duvet cover.

"I told you I’m doing well, but you didn’t believe me."

Bai Xiangdong sat down on the edge of the bed, "I believe it. Now, if only you could find me a granddaughter-in-law, that would be perfect!"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes, "Grandpa, are you possessed by Auntie Jin’s spirit?"

By the time Bai Lu had the guest room arranged, the sky had already darkened.

"Grandpa, shall we go downstairs to grab a bite, or shall we order takeout?"

Bai Xiangdong didn’t mind either way, but he felt sorry for Bai Lu.

"Let’s order takeout. You’ve been busy for two days; eat early and rest early."

Bai Lu didn’t insist and ordered takeout according to their tastes.

The takeout arrived quickly, and the grandfather and granddaughter sat at the dining table to eat. While eating, Bai Xiangdong suddenly asked, "Did you tell the baby boy about me being discharged?"

Bai Lu clicked her tongue, "I really forgot!"

Bai Xiangdong urged her, "Hurry up and let him know. Otherwise, he’ll go to the hospital to see me again."

The phone rang before Bai Lu could dial out, and the caller was none other than Yan Xu.

"Bai Lu, has Grandpa been discharged?"

Bai Lu felt extremely guilty, "Yan Xu, I am very sorry, I forgot to notify you. You didn’t bring us food, did you?"

Yan Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Uncle Wen brought it over. I’ve made an appointment for acupuncture."

Bai Lu sighed, "I’m really sorry, making Uncle Wen make a wasted trip."

"As long as Grandpa is fine. Have you had dinner? Should I have Uncle Wen deliver to your place?"

Bai Lu and Bai Xiangdong had already eaten most of their dinner, besides, it was embarrassing to have someone running back and forth.

"We just finished eating. Sorry for wasting your kindness."

"No problem, you and Grandpa should go to bed early. I’ll bring breakfast over in the morning."

Bai Lu felt even more embarrassed, "Yan Xu, I will take good care of Grandpa. You need to continue your rehabilitation, don’t bother coming over. I’ll cook for you and Grandpa after Grandpa has rested for a couple of days."

"I’ve changed my rehab to the afternoon!"

"But..."

Still trying to persuade him, he interrupted her, "No buts. Weren’t you on the night shift yesterday? Go to sleep early. I have to get acupuncture, hanging up now."

Before Bai Lu could say anymore, Yan Xu had hung up.

Lately, Yan Xu has been so good-tempered it didn’t seem like him anymore.

"Xiao Lizi, come and eat, the food is getting cold!"

Bai Xiangdong shouted from the dining room, and Bai Lu snapped back to reality, returning to finish her meal.

The next morning, before eight o’clock, the apartment’s doorbell rang.

At that time, Bai Lu was still in dreamland, while Bai Xiangdong, who was accustomed to waking up early, was stretching and bending on the balcony, doing his morning exercises.

Bai Xiangdong ran to open the door, and outside, sure enough, stood a refreshed Yan Xu and Uncle Wen, carrying loads of stuff.

"Grandpa, good morning. How do you feel today? Better?"

Bai Xiangdong let them in, "I’m fine now. Have a seat, I’ll pour you both a cup of tea."

How could Yan Xu allow a patient and elder to serve him? But he was not accustomed to serving others at home either, and besides, this was not his own home.

"Grandpa, no need for tea. I’m still on medication, I can’t drink tea."

Looking around, he asked.

"Where’s Bai Lu?"

Bai Xiangdong pointed to the master bedroom’s door, "Still asleep. Isn’t it because she was on night shift the day before yesterday? She accompanied me all day yesterday and was exhausted. Let her sleep a bit more, you don’t mind, right?"

Yan Xu quickly shook his head, "Grandpa, we’re all family, who would mind those things? Let her keep sleeping, and I’ll have breakfast with you."

So Uncle Wen, who was equally an outsider, went to the kitchen to make tea, and the three men sat in the dining room for breakfast.

Bai Lu slept until nearly noon, squinting at the time with sleepy eyes, she suddenly jumped out of bed and ran into the living room.

"Grandpa, I’m so sorry, you must be starving?"

Bai Xiangdong, who was watching television in the living room, glanced at her bare feet, "Go put on your shoes, the floor is cold. Baby boy brought breakfast over early and kept me company. Go brush your teeth and wash your face, I’ll reheat the dim sum for you."
