When the call was picked up, Xu Weilai exchanged a few pleasantries before she went straight to the point. “Dear, do me a favor.”
After she hung up, she turned around and walked back towards the bed. She took another look at Grandpa Gu before she said to Mrs. Lin, “Mrs. Lin, I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come back next time.”
Mrs. Lin, who obviously could not bear to part with Xu Weilai, immediately asked, “Miss Xu, aren’t you going to stay with Mr. Gu Sr. any longer? The doctor also mentioned that his close relatives and people he cared about should talk to him more and encourage him to wake up. Wasn’t you the one that made him react when you were talking to him? I’m thinking that he will wake up if you talk to him more.”
Mrs. Lin talked as if Xu Weilai would not be coming back if she left.
Xu Weilai blurted, “Mrs. Lin, don’t worry. I don’t have a job right now, so I’m quite free. I’ll come over every day to accompany Grandpa. However, I have a dinner appointment with Chunchun tonight. So, I’ll take my leave for today.”
“I see… you have a dinner appointment with Miss Chun…” Mrs. Lin muttered to herself before she heaved a sigh of relief, “Alright then, I won’t keep you any longer. Come and visit Mr. Gu Sr. with Miss Chun next time then. He has always doted on Miss Chun. He would be happy to see her visit. He might wake up if he’s happy.”
Xu Weilai could not help smiling at Mrs. Lin when she heard her keep mentioning that Grandpa Gu will wake up.
Even though she found difficulty in trusting others, she could definitely trust Mrs. Lin and her family. Else, Gu Yu wouldn’t have… After Grandpa Gu fell into a coma, only Mrs. Lin and her family were assigned to take care of Grandpa Gu.
This was the support he trusted the most.

Xu Weilai walked out of the hospital entrance and waited for five minutes before Xiao Chun came by in her Big Black G.
She got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt after she closed the door.
“What do you want to eat?” Xiao Chun asked as she turned the steering wheel.
Xu Weilai’s black eyes rolled around, and she said, “Cantonese food, something light. Otherwise… I’m afraid you’ll be furious later.”
“What do you mean?”
Xu Weilai smiled but said nothing. She took her phone and searched for a Cantonese restaurant with a good rating. Once she set the navigation to the said restaurant, she said to Xiao Chun “Let’s eat here. Let’s go!”
The Cantonese restaurant wasn’t too far away, but it took them more than half an hour to reach as the traffic was busy during rush hour.
They walked into restaurant hand-in-hand. Xu Weilai requested for a private room. After the server led them in to a private room and seated them, Xiao Chun could no longer hold back her questions anymore.
“Weilai, what do you have to say to me to need a private room? Why? Are we going to have an underground meeting?”
Xu Weilai choked on her tea, but she thought of it for a moment before she nodded. “Actually, not much different from one.”
It was Xiao Chun’s turn to get startled.
She picked up her teacup and took a sip, but choked on it before she could swallow and started coughing.
Xu Weilai quickly pulled her chair nearer to Xiao Chun and patted on her back to give her some relief. “Are you alright?”
“I’m… I’m fine.” Xiao Chun waved her hand and put the teacup down as she continued to cough a little. She even pushed the teacup further away before she gulped the remaining liquid in her mouth. After a few deep breaths to prepare herself mentally, she whispered, “Lil’ Weilai, are you going to object to the marriage? Are we going to kidnap Yu? Tell me. As your sister, I’ll bent over backward for you.”
