Is Old General Bai dying?
Ye Qiu was shocked.
He remembered that Bai Bing said that Old General Bai’s health was not good, but it was so fast that he was dying. Could there be something strange?
Ye Qiu asked, “Sister Bing, who called you just now?”
”My cousin, Bai Yujing.” Bai Bing replied.
For some reason, although he had never seen Bai Yujing, Ye Qiu had a bad impression of him and always felt that this guy was very insidious.
Could it be that this guy was making an excuse to deceive Sister Bing to return to Beijing?
Lin Jingzhi said beside, “Do you believe what Bai Yujing said? Bai Bing, I suggest you confirm it.”
Ye Qiu highly agreed and said, “I think what Sister Lin said makes sense.”
”Okay, I’ll confirm it again.” Bai Bing quickly dialed the phone number of Old General Bai’s attending doctor. When the phone was connected, Bai Bing said, “Doctor Li, I want to ask, how is my grandfather’s condition?”
”The old man… his body is very bad. Miss Bai, where are you? Come and see the old man quickly. Maybe you can still see the old man for the last time.”
Hearing Doctor Li’s words, Bai Bing couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Just at this moment, Ye Qiu’s mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello?” Ye Qiu pressed the answer button and asked, “Who is this?”
“Xiao Ye, this is Zhang Jiuling.”
“Old Zhang?” Ye Qiu was stunned and asked, “What do you want from me, Old Zhang?”
“Are you with Bai Bing?” Zhang Jiuling asked.
Ye Qiu looked at Bai Bing and said, “Sister Bing is by my side.”
“Xiao Ye, please convey to Bai Bing that I just received the news that her grandfather is dying. The hospital requires me to return to Beijing immediately to form an expert group to rescue General Bai.” Zhang Jiuling’s voice was very urgent and he said, “I’m already on my way back to Beijing. Xiao Ye, tell Bai Bing to return to Beijing immediately.”
“Okay.” Ye Qiu hung up the phone and relayed Zhang Jiuling’s words to Bai Bing verbatim.
Bai Bing made a prompt decision and said, “Then I’ll return to Beijing now.”
“I’ll see you off.”
As soon as Ye Qiu’s voice fell, Lin Jingzhi took out the car key from her bag and threw it to him, saying, “Drive my car, it’s faster.”
“Okay.” Ye Qiu took the car key and was about to go out with Bai Bing.
At this time, Qian Jinglan walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that Bai Bing was about to leave, she asked in confusion, “Xiaobai, why are you leaving? The meal is almost ready.”
“Mom, Sister Bing’s grandfather is dying. She must rush back to Beijing immediately. I’ll take her to the airport.” Ye Qiu said.
Bai Bing wiped away her tears and said apologetically, “Auntie, I’m sorry. The matter is urgent and I must go back immediately. I’ll come to eat your cooking when I come to Jiangzhou next time.”
”The distance between Beijing and Jiangzhou is so far. It takes several hours by plane. How can you not eat?” Qian Jinglan took out a bag from the kitchen and handed it to Bai Bing, saying, “There are some zongzi and eggs I just boiled in it. You can eat them in the car later. Anyway, your health is important.”
”Well, thank you, Auntie.”
”Mom, when the meal is ready, you and Sister Lin eat first. Don’t wait for me.” Ye Qiu said and left in a hurry with Bai Bing.
Qian Jinglan sighed and said, “Xiaobai came back to Jiangzhou once. but she didn’t eat. I don’t know when she will come next time.”
”Auntie, don’t worry. Bai Bing will often come to the house in the future.”
Qian Jinglan looked at Lin Jingzhi puzzled.
Lin Jingzhi said, “Ye Qiu took her down last night.”
What?
Qian Jinglan was first shocked, then overjoyed. Then, she took Lin Jingzhi’s hand and said, “Jingzhi, you have suffered wronged by being with Qiu’er.”
Lin Jingzhi said, “Auntie, since I was with Ye Qiu, I knew that a man as excellent as him could never have only one woman. So, I have long been prepared in my heart.”
“I used to just want Qiu’er to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life, but now Qiu’er is getting more and more like his father… Let’s not talk about this,” Qian Jinglan said. “Jingzhi, if Qiu’er dares to bully you in the future, you tell me and I’ll deal with him for you.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Lin Jingzhi smiled sweetly.
“Jingzhi, you sit for a while. I’ll go cook.” Qian Jinglan re-entered the kitchen.
In the living room.
Lin Jingzhi murmured in a low voice: “Auntie just said that Ye Qiu is getting more and more like his father. It sounds like his father doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person, but why have I never heard them mention it?”
Lin Jingzhi was a little curious.
Subsequently, Lin Jingzhi took out her mobile phone and made a call to her assistant Han Xue, ordering: “Han Xue, immediately book a plane ticket from Jiangzhou to the capital for Bai Bing.”
“Yes.”
……
On the way to the airport.
Bai Bing said while eating the zongzi cooked by Qian Jinglan: “The last time I ate zongzi was ten years ago.”
“At that time, my parents were still alive.”
“In the blink of an eye, they have been dead for several years.”
“I often see my parents in my dreams recently. They told me to take care of myself and live well…”
Bai Bing choked up and tears fell drop by drop.
Ye Qiu handed her a tissue.
Bai Bing wiped away her tears and said, “Before coming to Jiangzhou, I asked Elder Zhang to give Grandpa a checkup. Elder Zhang said that Grandpa’s health is okay, but it’s only been a few days and Grandpa he just…”
Bai Bing said while shedding tears, “Grandpa has loved me since I was a child. I still remember when I was a child…”
Bai Bing began to talk about the bits and pieces between her and General Bai. She talked for more than ten minutes and Ye Qiu didn’t interrupt her.
He knew that at this time, Bai Bing needed a listener.
”After I studied medicine, I have seen a lot of life and death, but I couldn’t really feel it. It was not until the moment when my parents passed away that I really felt the fragility of life.”
”It was also from that time that I understood that everyone around us will eventually leave us. No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death.”
“I also know that Grandpa is old and can’t hold on for too long, but now that I know he is really going to leave me, I feel so bad.
”I’m so scared.”
”I really don’t know what to do?”
Bai Bing was both sad and helpless.
”Sister Bing, how about I go to Beijing with you to see Grandpa Bai?” Ye Qiu said, “Maybe I can save him.”
”You can’t go.” Bai Bing immediately objected and said, “Xiao Qingdi is in Beijing. If he knows you have entered Beijing, he will definitely not let you go.”
”It’s okay.” Ye Qiu said, “I have met Xiao Jiu. Xiao Qingdi doesn’t dare to do anything to me.”
”You’d better not go for the time being. I’ll go back and see the situation first. If there is still hope of treatment and I need your help, then I’ll call you.” Bai Bing said.
”Well, keep in touch after you go back.” Ye Qiu said.
Bai Bing nodded and said “hmm”.
Forty minutes later.
The car arrived at the airport.
”Sister Bing, Sister Lin has booked a plane ticket for you. Later, after you go in, you can directly get the ticket with your ID card.” Ye Qiu said.
”Help me say thank you to Lin Jingzhi.”
Bai Bing looked at Ye Qiu and suddenly hugged him tightly, saying: “I don’t want to leave you.”
Ye Qiu smiled and said: A short parting is for a better reunion. Sister Bing, it’s time to board the plane. You go in quickly!
”I will miss you. You have to remember to miss me.”
Bo——
Bai Bing kissed Ye Qiu on the face, then resolutely got out of the car and walked quickly into the airport.
