âGrandfather!â Itâs 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 thatâs racing towards himself, the old senior completely ignores Bai Yan whoâs obviously walking in front of Song there. In his mind, thereâs only his granddaughter and nothing more.
âSong!â In a flash, he disappears from the spot and reappears before the child to examine the girl. Nervously pressing his hand against her shoulder: âAre you alright? Are you feeling unwell?â
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 didnât have the time to worry about some grandfather whoâs overly protective of their granddaughter, rather sheâs also quite worried about the female protecting her own daughter. Bai Yan could see blood coming out of Bai Ningâs lip, for that, sheâs absolutely infuriated!
âWho did it?â Her voice was colder than the late night wind, which caused the temperature around her to drop several degrees.
âMother.â Di Ling Yan pounced out of Bai Ningâs arm then and threw herself into the Bai Yanâs instead, her eyes a teary red of sad pitiful sorrow, âItâs Big Sisterâs grandfather, he hurt Grandmother here.â
Bai Yanâs face got quite scary there due to how cold it became in that moment like some sort of storm was brewing in those eyes. Itâs so bad in fact that the atmosphere here had grown quiet and eerie.
Ji Songâs 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: âGrandfather, why did you do it?â
âI...â Ji Sky couldnât bear to have such a look made towards himself. Hastening to turn away, he wanted to explain himself in a mutter when Gu Yaâs voice inserted herself from the rear.
âMiss Song, donât blame your grandfather, he merely didnât want you to suffer any harm. Elder Sky knows Ling Yanâs mother is only using you to get close to the monarch by using your health as leverage. He only wants whatâs best for you, itâs all for your sake.â Gu Ya slightly frowned due to the protective attitude of the girl, aware of the sudden change in Songâs complexion after her own explanation. âFortunately you didnât let her treat you yet, otherwise your grandfather mightâve been too late to save you...â
Ji Sky was not deaf and promptly swept a cold gaze at the instigator of all this. He didnât say that Bai Yan wanted to use his granddaughter to get close to the monarch at all, itâs just that.... In this case Bai Yan was a stranger, he doesnât know her ability or strength, how could he feel at ease letting such a person mess around with Songâs body. No parent or elder could take such risks regardless of their background.
As for Gu Yaâs skewed explanation, the old senior didnât 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.....
Thereâs frost all over Bai Yanâs aura after hearing the explanation. Turning to the patient girl, her voice got much colder than while they were in the room: âSong, shouldnât you have your grandfather give me a proper explanation? I saved your life, yet he harmed my mother without accessing the situation or discerning whatâs right or wrong.â
Even though she understood that Ji Sky did it out of concern for Songâs wellbeing, but everyone has their own moments of selfishness. In this regard, Bai Yanâs moment would be about her family. The justification hardly matters anymore.
âIf I had known that saving you would hurt my mother, I wouldnât have done it.â
That remark made Song extremely sad there. Looking at Bai Yanâs distant gaze and the crying face of her one and only friend Ling Yan, the girl never felt so sad before.
