“Grandfather!” It’s then a crisp and tender sounding voice cuts through the night, thus breaking the powerful momentum gathered by Ji Sky who was about ready to make his second assault.
Shocked by the tiny figure that’s racing towards himself, the old senior completely ignores Bai Yan who’s obviously walking in front of Song there. In his mind, there’s only his granddaughter and nothing more.
“Song!” In a flash, he disappears from the spot and reappears before the child to examine the girl. Nervously pressing his hand against her shoulder: “Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji song did not get to answer at all there before being blasted by this set of questions. Making a helpless face, the girl turns to Bai Yan for help.
However, at this moment Bai Yan didn’t have the time to worry about some grandfather who’s overly protective of their granddaughter, rather she’s also quite worried about the female protecting her own daughter. Bai Yan could see blood coming out of Bai Ning’s lip, for that, she’s absolutely infuriated!
“Who did it?” Her voice was colder than the late night wind, which caused the temperature around her to drop several degrees.
“Mother.” Di Ling Yan pounced out of Bai Ning’s arm then and threw herself into the Bai Yan’s instead, her eyes a teary red of sad pitiful sorrow, “It’s Big Sister’s grandfather, he hurt Grandmother here.”
Bai Yan’s face got quite scary there due to how cold it became in that moment like some sort of storm was brewing in those eyes. It’s so bad in fact that the atmosphere here had grown quiet and eerie.
Ji Song’s complexion instantly went white as well after hearing that outburst. Turning to her own grandfather, she purses her lip and asked with shock in the voice: “Grandfather, why did you do it?”
“I…” Ji Sky couldn’t bear to have such a look made towards himself. Hastening to turn away, he wanted to explain himself in a mutter when Gu Ya’s voice inserted herself from the rear.
“Miss Song, don’t blame your grandfather, he merely didn’t want you to suffer any harm. Elder Sky knows Ling Yan’s mother is only using you to get close to the monarch by using your health as leverage. He only wants what’s best for you, it’s all for your sake.” Gu Ya slightly frowned due to the protective attitude of the girl, aware of the sudden change in Song’s complexion after her own explanation. “Fortunately you didn’t let her treat you yet, otherwise your grandfather might’ve been too late to save you…”
Ji Sky was not deaf and promptly swept a cold gaze at the instigator of all this. He didn’t say that Bai Yan wanted to use his granddaughter to get close to the monarch at all, it’s just that…. In this case Bai Yan was a stranger, he doesn’t know her ability or strength, how could he feel at ease letting such a person mess around with Song’s body. No parent or elder could take such risks regardless of their background.
As for Gu Ya’s skewed explanation, the old senior didn’t bother to correct it. At a time like this, any further explanation would only make things worse. All that it matters to him was Song being safe and not taking that treatment.
Song is good at everything except too trusting in people around herself…..
There’s frost all over Bai Yan’s aura after hearing the explanation. Turning to the patient girl, her voice got much colder than while they were in the room: “Song, shouldn’t you have your grandfather give me a proper explanation? I saved your life, yet he harmed my mother without accessing the situation or discerning what’s right or wrong.”
Even though she understood that Ji Sky did it out of concern for Song’s wellbeing, but everyone has their own moments of selfishness. In this regard, Bai Yan’s moment would be about her family. The justification hardly matters anymore.
“If I had known that saving you would hurt my mother, I wouldn’t have done it.”
That remark made Song extremely sad there. Looking at Bai Yan’s distant gaze and the crying face of her one and only friend Ling Yan, the girl never felt so sad before.
