Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Unworthy to be a Father

Bai Shao and Bai Xiaolu stayed at the Yan Family home until the afternoon. They had planned to stay for dinner, but a phone call from a waitress at the restaurant caused Bai Shao, Bai Xiaolu, Zhu Qianying, and Young Master Yan to hastily leave the Yan family’s house.

It turns out that when the waitress delivered dinner to the Bai family and rang the doorbell without getting a response, with nobody answering her phone calls, she had contacted Chen Jing. Chen Jing quickly got the backup key and rushed over. Upon opening the door, she found Bai Xiangdong unconscious on the floor.

The normally flustered Chen Jing immediately began to panic. Thankfully, the waitress was still there. She grabbed the phone and quickly called Zhu Qianying.

Upon receiving the call, Young Master Yan immediately called the hospital to send a doctor to pick up Bai Xiangdong. Then, he and the mother and daughter, Bai Shao and Bai Xiaolu, along with Zhu Qianying, hurried directly to the hospital from Yan’s house.

When Zhu Qianying and the others arrived at the hospital, Bai Xiangdong had already been settled, but he had not regained consciousness, and the dean’s appointed specialist was performing a detailed examination on him.

Bai Shao and her daughter, Bai Xiaolu, sat quietly on the bench in the corridor, with Zhu Qianying sitting with them, nobody spoke. Firstly, their spirits were low. Secondly, they were afraid that talking too much might scare Xiaolu.

Young Master Yan had gone to speak with the dean to understand the situation, while Chen Jing was pacing anxiously outside the hospital room.

Not long after Young Master Yan had left, he returned with a doctor.

"Miss Bai, although your father’s condition hasn’t been fully diagnosed yet, based on his examination results from a few days ago, he might faint suddenly like this quite often in the future. I suggest you immediately check him into the hospital. This way, it will be more convenient for us to study and prepare a treatment plan for him."

After listening to the doctor, Bai Shao had no objections and immediately arranged for her father’s treatment procedure.

Zhu Qianying wanted to stay with Xiaolu while Bai Shao went to handle the admission procedure. When it was time to pay, Bai Shao took out the bank card that Zhu Qianying had given her to pay the expenses. The doctor who accompanied her to go through the hospital formalities, however, said:

"Miss Bai, under normal circumstances, for your father’s condition, a large deposit is required for the hospitalization procedure. But Young Master Yan has arranged everything already, we will only charge you according to the treatment fee."

Having inquired about the deposit at other hospitals before, Bai Shao did not hesitate when Zhu Qianying handed her the card.

Once Bai Shao had completed the hospitalization formalities, she returned to the corridor leading to the hospital room, only to find it completely empty. She was startled, but then she heard her father’s voice from the hospital room, which relieved her.

Bai Shao stood outside to wipe the corners of her eyes before walking into the hospital room as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, how are you feeling now?"

Seeing her friend walk in, Zhu Qianying gave up the seat closest to Bai Xiangdong, and guided Bai Shao in front of her father.

After asking Bai Xiangdong about his condition, the doctor suggested that everyone leave early so as not to disturb the patient’s rest.

Bai Shao hired a male nurse to take care of Bai Xiangdong 24/7. After all, she had to work and also take care of Xiaolu. Even if she only visited Bai Xiangdong once a day, it was a lot of running around for her.

On the way home from the hospital, Zhu Qianying made a suggestion to Bai Shao.

"Xiao Shao, your work just started recently and you’re so busy all the time, you can’t even guarantee when you’ll get off work. How about this, why don’t you and Xiaolu stay at my place for some time? Anyway, I’ll have someone pick Xiaolu up from the restaurant every day after school, and when it’s time to pick up my baby boy, they can bring her along. If you get off work early, you can go see Uncle Dong before coming back. If it’s late and you think it’s inconvenient to come over, you can stay at your own place. In any case, you can arrange your own time. What do you think?"

Bai Shao was reflecting on this matter herself and was considering whether to hire a nanny to take care of Xiaolu. When her friend proposed this, she was, of course, interested, but it was a lot to ask of her friend.

While Bai Shao was hesitating, the host of the Yan family, Young Master Yan took up Zhu Qianying’s words.

"Bai Shao, I think Ying’er’s suggestion is very good. After all, my parents are really fond of Xiaolu. They could keep her company, which is great. Think about it."

It goes without saying that Chen Jing, of course, hoped that Bai Shao would follow her daughter’s proposal. To tell the truth, she had already begun to consider Bai Shao as her own daughter during this period. She was as close to Bai Xiangdong as a sibling. So whether Bai Xiangdong was ill or not, she had no problem helping to look after Xiaolu.

"Xiao Shao, Ying’er is right. Don’t think too much, just move in."

After living with the Yan family, Chen Jing knew that although they appeared to be cold, in fact, they were much less particular about such trivial matters than ordinary people.

So, as a guest, she also joined in encouraging Bai Shao.

Considering her own circumstances and feeling obliged to yield to such a generous offer, Bai Shao bent down and gently touched her little daughter in her arms, "Xiaolu, what do you think?"

Bai Xiaolu looked up, "I don’t mind. The most important thing is for Mommy and Grandpa to be well. If they are, then I’m okay!"

Therefore, although Bai Shao and her daughter had only visited Yan’s house for the first time that day, they moved in as guests by evening.

Fearing that Xiaolu might not adapt, Zhu Qianying had informed her son in advance that Xiaolu would be coming to live with them. Her son then said that he would wait for Xiaolu to arrive before going to bed.

After settling in Bai Shao and her daughter, it was already close to midnight. Zhu Qianying and Young Master Yan returned to their bedroom. Young Master Yan gently held her in his arms and kissed her, "You must be exhausted, right?"

Zhu Qianying leaned her head on his shoulder, eyes closed, and nodded.

"Yes, very tired."

Young Master Yan picked her up, "Should I help you bathe? Is that okay?" As he asked, he was already moving towards the bathroom.

Zhu Qianying just closed her eyes and nodded, "Hmm!"

For such a thing, by rights, there should be no need for affectation, after all, after each time, Young Master Yan would carry her to clean up.

But those times, she was mostly in a dazed state. Now, for the first time, she had agreed to share the bath with him while awake.

However, both she and he knew very well that this wasn’t technically shared bathing, but just as they had said, it was helping.

Both of them sat in the bathtub, with Young Master Yan sitting at the back and Zhu Qianying sitting in his arms.

Young Master Yan could see that Zhu Qianying was not in a good mood.

"What’s wrong? Still upset about what happened to Uncle Dong?"

Zhu Qianying leaned her head on him, "You know, Uncle Dong found Xiao Shao and still takes care of her as best as he can. Yet, even though Xiao Yu and I are his flesh and blood, we are treated so coldly and ruthlessly. It’s unsettling."

Young Master Yan knew that Zhu Qianying was thinking about yesterday when Zhu Zhizhou came to the restaurant begging for mercy.

"You silly thing, such a person is just a beast, not worth being called a father."
