Chapter 2215 Answer
Boss Bai walked into the room.
"Boss Xiaobai."
The middle-aged woman who had just walked out of the kitchen was stunned for a second, then smiled and greeted.
"Aunt Fang."
"This is the caregiver we hired for grandpa."
Boss Bai introduced the other party's identity to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao smiled politely at the middle-aged woman, "Hello, Aunt Fang."
"Hey, hello."
Aunt Fang narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Boss Xiao Bai is looking for Mr. Bai, right?"
Before Boss Bai could say anything, the middle-aged woman took the initiative to speak.
This is actually a superfluous question.
After all, if Boss Xiao Bai comes here to see someone other than his own grandfather, who else would he see?
"He's on the balcony of his bedroom."
……
"Ok."
Boss Bai nodded slightly.
"Master Xiao, let's go up."
……
When he reached the stairs, Boss Bai turned around as if he remembered something.
The middle-aged woman was still standing there.
"Aunt Fang, make a pot of tea and bring it up later."
"Ok."
The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded.
……
Boss Bai pushed open the bedroom door.
Walked directly to the balcony.
The balcony has a deck chair.
A gray-haired old man was lying on it with his eyes closed.
The radio on a chair beside me was emitting the sound of opera singing.
The old man, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, hummed a few times from time to time.
From this we can see that the old man was not asleep.
……
"grandfather."
Boss Bai called the old man softly.
The old man didn't hear.
Still humming intermittently along with the sound from the radio.
……
"grandfather!"
Boss Bai turned up the volume a bit.
At the same time, turn down the volume on the radio.
……
The old man's face was slightly stunned.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
His somewhat cloudy eyes stared at Boss Bai for a while before he seemed to recognize his grandson and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"It's Xiaorong."
……
"grandfather."
Boss Bai helped the old man sit up.
Xiao Xiao took a few cushions from the chairs in the room and handed them to Boss Bai.
Boss Bai smiled in surprise, "Thank you."
……
The old man sat up, half leaning against the recliner.
Only when his grandson took a step back did he see that there was a stranger next to his grandson.
He was a little surprised.
This was the first time his grandson brought a stranger to his place.
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man he met for the first time, "Xiao Rong, who is this?"
……
"Grandpa, he's a friend of mine."
Boss Bai said with a smile.
"Hello, old man."
Xiao Xiao greeted the old man.
"Hey, good."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes smoothed out.
……
"Grandpa, I have something to ask you."
Boss Bai pulled a stool for Master Xiao and motioned for him to sit down, and then he sat down on the stool himself.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
The old man smiled.
The old man was very happy when his grandson brought his friends to visit him.
……
"Dong Dong~"
There was a knock on the door, not too loud or too light.
Then, Aunt Fang came in with tea.
……
Looking at the door closing again, Boss Bai did not rush to speak.
He spread his palms.
The jade ball lies on it.
Under the sunlight, the smooth white jade emits a hazy halo.
……
The old man was taken aback.
This jade ball...
……
"Grandpa, do you still remember this jade ball?"
Boss Bai observed the old man's expression and said, "You gave it to Dad a long time ago."
"For your father..."
The old man murmured.
……
"Ah."
Boss Bai nodded and said, "You gave it as a talisman to your father who was in a car accident at that time."...
"Oh~"
After his grandson explained this, the old man's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"It's that jade ball..."
The old man touched the jade ball with a trembling hand, and spoke with emotion.
There was also a hint of nostalgia in his expression.
……
"……grandfather."
Although Boss Bai was a little hesitant about breaking the old man's nostalgia at this time, after traveling to so many places and spending so much effort, the answer was right in front of him, and Boss Bai couldn't help but feel anxious and excited.
He motioned to the old man to take his hands away first.
"look."
……
Just like Mr. Bai before him, Mr. Bai also opened his eyes wide.
A look of surprise.
The body that was sitting lazily also straightened a lot.
"This……"
……
But compared to Mr. Bai who quickly calmed down, the old man seemed to be much more shocked.
"This……"
"You broke it?"
The old man looked at his grandson.
Boss Bai hurriedly shook his head, "How is that possible?"
"Grandpa, it's just the way it is."
"look."
"This jade ball is hollow inside."
……
The old man's lips trembled.
Boss Bai noticed that the old man was in a bad mood, and he was confused and worried. "Grandpa, don't get excited."
"it's okay no problem……"
He put his hand on the old man's back and patted him gently.
……
"How come you're okay?!"
The old man spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on the two halves of the jade ball in his hands, "This is what happened..."
"grandfather?"
The look on Boss Bai's face became more and more worried.
Could it be that the appearance of the jade ball irritated the old man?
He was so busy getting an answer from the old man that he forgot about the emotional fluctuations the old man might have.
He regretted it a little.
He opened his mouth -
"Xiao Rong!"
"Ah? Here!"
Boss Bai responded subconsciously
"This one……"
The old man's hand holding the jade was shaking. "Is there something inside?"
"Did you find anything?!"
"thing?"
Boss Bai's first reaction was to shake his head.
But the old man's expectant expression made him recall it carefully again.
The result is still...
"No."
Boss Bai shook his head gently. "When the jade ball is opened, it will look like what you see now."
"There's nothing in it."
……
"No?!"
The old man was both unbelieving and disappointed, "How is that possible?"
"How could there not be..."
"Could it be that I am wrong..."
The old man's chest heaved violently.
The disappointment that comes after hope is even more unbearable.
……
"Be careful."
Xiao Xiao reached out and caught the jade that fell from the old man's hand.
……
"what?!"
The old man hurriedly reached out to take back the jade, his face full of fear.
"Thank you, thank you."
……
"grandfather."
Boss Bai held up the teacup to the old man's mouth and said, "Have some tea."
"calm down."
……
The old man took a sip of tea.
The slightly bitter tea made the bitterness between the old man's eyebrows even more intense.
……
"grandfather."
Seeing that the old man turned his head away, Boss Bai put the teacup back on the table.
"Why do you think there is something inside the jade ball?"
The old man's reaction didn't seem like a guess, but more like a certainty that leaned toward faith.
why?
"What did you know before?"
……
The old man leaned back in his recliner.
His face looked gloomy.
Looks a little older.
"I have no idea……"
"I just thought I finally found the answer..."
……
Finally found the answer?
Boss Bai suddenly realized that the old man was looking for an answer just like him.
I just don’t know if they are looking for the same answer?
ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
