Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Nodding Acquaintance

An Yin also couldn’t understand why she thought of the conversation between them!

Or his introduction of himself.

An Yin pressed the screen lock button until the words "Bao Shaojin" were covered by the dark screen, only then did she stop her wild thoughts.

An Yin didn’t bother to guess why Bao Shaojin saved her phone number, maybe he just did it unintentionally!

Moreover, thinking of how he suddenly put on a distant, cold attitude, all the little suspicion in An Yin’s heart vanished instantly! She thought, she thought this man cared a lot about her! After all, he took her to the hospital several times...

Recalling his fierce expression just now, An Yin quickly dismissed this notion.

In the driver’s seat, Assistant Lin, through the rearview mirror, noticed that the person in the backseat who was frowning one moment showed a relieved expression the next. It was evident how changeable her thoughts were!

Assistant Lin couldn’t help but sigh: being young was nice, to express joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness so openly without hiding any emotions, unlike those of us who have been battered in society, dealing with others every day wearing a mask!

In the car, both had their own thoughts.

An Yin still got off at the same old spot.

She was only wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, fortunately, the sun was shining warmly outside.

And the jacket she originally wore was torn by that man and left behind at that hotel. Thinking about this matter, An Yin felt heartache, as that jacket was bought not long ago, costing her more than two hundred yuan!

On the way to the dormitory, An Yin kept lamenting the two hundred-yuan plus clothes.

When she pushed open the dormitory door, An Yin didn’t see Shi Qing, which she was already used to.

However, what surprised An Yin was the formerly empty bed, which belonged to their other roommate who hadn’t used the dormitory for a long time — Yan Lan’s bed now had neatly laid sheets and a brand-new quilt. An Yin stared at the bed for a long while before realizing she wasn’t mistaken!

Could it be that Yan Lan was planning to stay in the dormitory? An Yin pondered.

With the few people in the dorm, she and Yan Lan weren’t close, just acquaintances who nodded at each other, even if she knew Yan Lan was coming back, An Yin was just curious. Retracting her gaze, An Yin dragged her tired body to the bathroom.

***

The Bao Family’s old madam was unwell these days, and the younger generation often visited to see her.

Bao Cheng was the one who frequented the old madam’s bedroom the most, coming the most regularly. Each time he appeared, he always managed to make the old madam laugh heartily, even coaxing her to eat a few more bites during meals!

The servants taking care of the old madam always felt relieved when they saw Bao Cheng.

However, those who understood Bao Cheng’s temperament were pondering internally, wondering if Bao Cheng had caused trouble recently, or perhaps he wanted to start some new business project that required financial support? Over the years, Bao Cheng had often used this trick to win the old madam over, and it never failed to yield results.

The old madam’s bedroom style leaned towards traditional Chinese, with a small leaf rosewood bed placed in the center. From a distance, the bed alone gave a majestic and grand impression, with intricately carved patterns that seemed lifelike, showing the craftsmanship put into its creation.

All the furniture around was made from top-grade red sandalwood. As for the flower vase in the corner of the room, it was crafted by a famous artist from a long time ago.

Bao Shaojin came in gracefully from outside, and as he stepped inside, he could smell a faint fragrance.

"For such a little illness of mine, I’ve troubled you to come personally." The old madam, leaning against a soft cushion, saw Bao Shaojin and her words carried a hint of underlying meaning.

Bao Cheng was ingratiatingly massaging the old madam’s arm and thought the elder was speaking to him when he heard a voice from above. Just as he was about to speak, a deep voice came from behind him.

"I’ve been dealing with some company matters recently." Bao Shaojin didn’t respond to the old madam’s sly remarks, instead, he sat down in a Grand Master’s chair nearby.

Housekeeper Liu came in right after, carrying a cup of tea, which he placed on the red sandalwood table beside Bao Shaojin. After setting down the tea, Housekeeper Liu glanced towards the old madam. Seeing that the old madam was pursing her lips, he knew she was actually overjoyed; he then stepped out.

Having served by the old madam’s side for so many years, Housekeeper Liu had somewhat understood the old madam’s thoughts.

In truth, as long as Bao Shaojin returned to the old mansion, the old madam was always delighted, though she was adept at hiding her emotions.

"Brother!" Bao Cheng sensed an atmosphere of hostility and smiled as he called out to Bao Shaojin.

From the moment he entered, Bao Shaojin had noticed Bao Cheng’s presence. Faced with Bao Cheng’s enthusiastic greeting, he merely furrowed his brow, suddenly recalling the image of a young girl meekly calling him "Brother Shaojin," and immediately, the aura he emitted grew colder.

After Bao Cheng called out, he noticed the other’s expression change slightly, and quickly refrained from speaking further, obediently continuing to massage the elder’s arm.

With the grandmother as his support, Bao Cheng felt a bit more secure inside.

Bao Cheng was puzzled, wondering what he had done to annoy him. How could calling out to him result in a cold face? Instantly, a foreboding premonition arose in Bao Cheng’s heart, guessing that perhaps this cousin had discovered some of his "certain affairs"? With this thought, Bao Cheng didn’t dare to breathe too heavily, cautiously massaging the elder with sweat chilling his back, scared out of his wits.

"Who’s that sour face for?"

The old madam perceived Bao Shaojin’s change of expression and couldn’t help but reprimand him harshly.

"The doctor said there’s nothing serious, take a rest for a while and let Elder Fu help you nurse your health, and you should recover soon." Faced with the old madam’s unreasonable reproach, Bao Shaojin didn’t offer much explanation.

Whenever the old madam experienced any health issues, the doctor would always inform Bao Shaojin about the situation at the first opportunity, and naturally, the old madam was aware of this.

"I’m just old bones, what’s the need for nursing." The old madam, having spent many years in the business world in her younger days, spoke with an inherent authority.

"Grandma, you’re still strong, not old at all!" Bao Cheng quickly comforted her, sitting up hastily and gently patting the old madam’s back in a deliberate manner, "Grandma, calm down, my brother manages such a big company every day and finally found some time to come see you, so let’s talk peacefully." Bao Cheng Shan, adept at observing words and expressions, quickly discerned the elder’s soft-heartedness beneath her hard words!

Over the years, he visited the old mansion without fail, yet the elder’s gaze would occasionally drift towards the entrance, even with him accompanying her, the elder still missed his cousin!
