“What? What’s going on?” Grandma asked as she walked over.
Chen Chen told her everything that had happened in the kidnapper’s hospital.
“It looks like someone went to look for them again after you returned from the kidnapper’s hospital,” Chen Lin said with a frown.
“It must be that Hu Wan!” Grandma was the first to speak. Her expression had already turned ugly. “Wasn’t she the one who had been doing bad things previously?! She must have been the one who stirred up trouble this time!”
“I’ve already asked her at the hospital. She denied it.”
Chen Chen collapsed on the sofa and leaned back. He finally felt a little better.
“So what if she denied it? Didn’t she deny what she did previously?!” Grandma said disdainfully.
“Grandma, don’t worry about this for now.” Chen Chen closed his eyes and pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Help me think of a way to break through from Bai Ran first.”
“You mean Ran Ran isn’t completely disappointed in you?” Grandma’s voice was filled with surprise.
“Yes, I’ve analyzed it with her. The kidnapper’s words don’t make sense no matter what. Besides, there’s Ye Lin’s testimony. I didn’t bring Ye Lin along. She found out from Lan Xin. It’s actually much more credible. I think she’s also a little shaken up by me, but she’s still unwilling to talk to me now,” Chen Chen said with a sigh.
“That’s simple. Leave it to me!” Grandma patted her chest, her eyes filled with smiles. “I guarantee that if you see Ran Ran, you’ll still have a chance to talk to her.”
“What do you mean?” When Chen Chen heard this, he instantly stood up and looked at Grandma expectantly.
“Lin Lin, call Ran Ran. Tell her that Grandma fainted and was sent to the hospital. I want her to see Grandma,” Grandma said to Chen Lin.
“Okay!” Chen Lin immediately understood and took out her phone.
“That’s not good! I didn’t lie to her initially, but I really lied to her about this now,” Chen Chen said, feeling a little awkward.
“It’s okay. You’re not lying to her. It’s Grandma who lied to her! Besides, I’m not in good health to begin with. I’m still taking antihypertensive medicine. It’s not strange for me to go to the hospital. Just say that I fainted from anger because of what happened between you and Ran Ran. It’s not good to embarrass you in front of me like this.” Grandma’s eyes were filled with smugness.
“Oh, brother, don’t hesitate anymore. If you continue to hesitate, my sister-in-law won’t be yours!” Chen Lin did not care about Chen Chen and called Bai Ran.
“Hello, is this Sister-in-law?” Chen Lin said the moment the call connected.
“Hi, Lin Lin,” Bai Ran called gently. Then, her voice turned cold as she said, “Lin Lin, if you’re calling me because your brother wants to persuade me, then forget it. I don’t want to hear anything right now.”
“Ah, Sister-in-law, you’re mistaken! I won’t speak to my brother, that jerk!” Chen Lin said as she glanced at Chen Chen and continued, “I want you to see Grandma. Grandma heard at home about you picking a wedding dress with my brother and Hu Wan last time and fainted from anger. Now that you’re sent to the hospital, Grandma keeps talking about you before she fainted, so I…”
“What? Did grandma faint? Did she go to the hospital? Which hospital?” Bai Ran’s voice became anxious as she hurriedly interrupted Chen Lin and asked.
“It’s the hospital Hu Wan is at. They’re handling the hospitalization procedures now. You know, the hospital director is closer to Grandma and the others…” Chen Lin said.
“Okay, I’ll go see Grandma now! After you settle the procedures, send me the ward number!” Bai Ran hung up the phone and packed up to leave.
“Brother, hurry. Help Grandma into the car. We’re going to the hospital now!” Chen Lin’s movements were very nimble. She immediately held Grandma’s arm. “My sister-in-law must still be packing. Besides, she took a taxi there. She’s much farther from that hospital than us. We can still make it!”
“Will this really work?” Chen Chen’s eyes were still a little difficult. Originally, he might have thought that it was nothing if he did this. At most, it was a white lie.
However, Bai Ran was angry because he had not saved her or if he was lying to her. If he lied to her again in this situation, if she found out, then…
