Chapter 324: Filial and Dutiful Girl
Dean Xu thought about how this little girl was now by Bai Chenyao’s side, and how she was being so well protected by him that even the Bai family couldn’t get any information. He couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times.
After Gu Tiantian thanked him, her mind was on her grandmother, so she didn’t notice Dean Xu’s gaze, and continued smiling and talking to her grandmother.
It was Gu Qingfeng who noticed Dean Xu’s gaze on Gu Tiantian, and he looked a little puzzled.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng look at him, Dean Xu quickly smiled warmly.
"The bond between the grandmother and granddaughter is really wonderful!"
So that’s why he was looking. Gu Qingfeng smiled along.
"Tiantian was almost entirely raised by her grandmother, so they have a very strong bond. They’ve been living together all these years."
Dean Xu listened, smiled, and nodded, then asked nonchalantly.
"Is that so? I haven’t seen her parents these days. Are they very busy with work or something?"
A hint of regret flashed across Gu Qingfeng’s face.
Before he could speak, Dean Xu continued on his own.
"I’m truly sorry!"
Gu Qingfeng quickly shook his head. During his mother’s time in the hospital, Dean Xu came by almost every other day to check on her, and he was deeply grateful.
Even if he knew it had a lot to do with his niece’s boyfriend, every time Dean Xu had a check-up, he would chat with them, and they knew he was a very nice person, just showing concern today.
With that in mind, Gu Qingfeng didn’t see the need to hide anything.
"It’s been so many years, we’ve long since come to terms with it."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Gu Tiantian, who was talking to his mother.
"But it’s a pity for Tiantian; she had to grow up early!"
Because her parents weren’t there, she had to become understanding early on.
Dean Xu naturally understood what Gu Qingfeng meant.
"Yes, the little girl is truly filial!"
Gu Qingfeng nodded without hesitation, his face showing a mix of comfort and pride.
"Yes, she’s very filial!"
When he thought of his own two children, his daughter Gu Yunyun only called to offer a few words of concern upon hearing her grandmother was hospitalized for a heart condition; she hadn’t even come by.
Moreover, Gu Yunyun was right here in Shengjing!
As for his son... thinking of that troublemaker, a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
Then he thought, once he got home, he must give good and proper guidance; otherwise, that child would become unruly, and it would be too late to educate him.
In less than an hour, Mrs. Chen had packed up everything that needed packing, and after greeting Dean Xu, Gu Tiantian supported her grandmother, ready to be discharged.
As for the discharge procedure, Mrs. Chen said Assistant Li had already taken care of it.
Gu Qingfeng, who had originally planned to handle the discharge procedure, listened and looked at Gu Tiantian.
Gu Tiantian knew what her uncle meant, but since Bai Chenyao had already asked Li Mu to take care of it, what else could she say?
She smiled and looked at her uncle and spoke.
"Since everything’s done, it saves us a trip, doesn’t it, Uncle?"
Thinking of his niece’s boyfriend, Gu Qingfeng still felt a kind of helplessness, a cold sweat on his back, and subconsciously nodded.
Not knowing what came to mind, he looked at Gu Tiantian again, as if wanting to say something but hesitating.
Gu Tiantian looked at her uncle’s hesitant expression, a little puzzled, and furrowed her brows.
"Uncle, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Mrs. Chen first carry the luggage downstairs, clearly leaving them an opportunity to talk privately, Gu Qingfeng didn’t care that his mother was still there, and quickly spoke.
"Tiantian, you and Chenyao, are you..."
