Chapter 34: This Is Only Fair
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Ning raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. She knew that her grandmother must have been hiding something from her, but she didn't expose her.
She thought for a moment, stood up, and walked behind her grandmother. "Grandma, let me give you a massage."
Yan Shuhua wanted to refuse, but Bai Ning's slender fingers were already on her head, so she did not say anything.
Her granddaughter was usually very gentle, but once she showed such a serious look, Yan Shuhua panicked and did not dare to hide anything.
Although she was an elder, she always acted like a child who was being disciplined.
Twenty minutes later, Bai Ning stopped what she was doing and asked gently, "Do you feel better now?"
Yan Shuhua slowly opened her eyes and said, "It's much better. I'd already fallen asleep."
Looking at Bai Ning's slightly red fingers, she said guiltily, "You've been massaging for too long. It's been hard on you. You should rest."
"It's not hard, Grandma. I'll bring you some incense the next time I come. This way, you won't have insomnia again." After Bai Ning finished speaking, she picked up the cup next to her and took a sip of water.
"Alright," she said. Yan Shuhua agreed with a smile.
In truth, she was not happy because of the incense, but because she would be able to see her granddaughter again soon.
Thinking of this, Yan Shuhua's mood got much better. She quickly got up and went to the kitchen. "Grandma is going to cook for you. I specially bought your favorite yellow beef and codfish. Rest for a while. I'll stew the vegetables first. It'll be ready soon."
"Alright," Bai Ning replied obediently. She looked at her grandmother's back as she busied herself in the kitchen. It was as if the two of them had returned to the simple and warm days in the small county.
Bai Ning walked around the house. There was nothing to do, so she went to the kitchen door and leaned against the door frame, watching her grandma cook.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Grandma was still busy preparing the ingredients. She said that someone might have sent a bucket of water over and asked Bai Ning to open the door.
When Bai Ning saw the person at the door, her eyes darkened.
It was none other than her adoptive mother, Su Xueru, and her biological daughter, Bai Yiyi, who were standing outside the door. Their chauffeur was following behind them, carrying a few bags of nutritional supplements. He was obviously helping to carry the things.
Seeing Bai Ning, Su Xueru was quite surprised. Her tone raised a little and she asked in a bad mood, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was them, Bai Ning turned her head and went back into the house without a word. She didn't even bother to look at them.
Su Xueru's face darkened when she saw her like this. She scolded, "What an ill-mannered girl!"
Bai Yiyi didn't expect to see Bai Ning here either. She quickly said to her mother, " Don't be angry, Mom. Let's go into the house first. It's more important to see grandma."
Bai Ning did not return for a long time. Yan Shuhua walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Ningning, tell him to bring the water..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the mother and daughter in the room, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Why did you suddenly come over today?" Yan Shuhua said unhappily, but when she saw Bai Yiyi standing behind Su Xueru, she added, "Yiyi, you're here too."
Even though her tone was much better than before, it was still perfunctory.
Seeing her grandmother's attitude, Bai Yiyi looked a little embarrassed, but she still sweetly called her grandmother.
"Mom, what are you saying? this is my home too. If that girl can come, why can't Yiyi and I? How can you be biased to this extent?" Su Xueru said, her tone showing she was aggrieved.
"Why didn't you call me before you came?" Yan Shuhua mumbled.
Although she couldn't stop her daughter from bringing her granddaughter, she wouldn't have let Ningning come today if she had told her in advance.
"Mom, Yiyi is taking a break today and I specially brought so many tonics to see you. How can you behave like this!" Su Xueru said in dissatisfaction.
She felt that her mother must be muddle-headed. She didn't treat her biological granddaughter well, but liked an imposter who had been mistakenly raised. She was really hopeless!
"You didn't know that Ningning was brought home by mistake, but I never saw you being so good to her!" Yan Shuhua said sarcastically.
Su Xueru felt helpless and said, "Let's not talk about the past. I don't want to argue with you. Even if you don't favor your granddaughter, you should at least treat her better. That's only fair!"
Hearing this, Yan Shuhua was furious and immediately retorted, "Who wants to fight with you? It's all because of your bad attitude that you've ruined a good day!"
