"Click!"
Xu Guofeng opened the door.
"Grandpa!"
Lin Xiaoxi called out happily. Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Uncle Xu, I'm Lin Chen, Xiaoxi's father."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Daddy, you're mistaken. Grandpa is Mommy's father. You should also call Grandpa 'Daddy'!"
Xu Guofeng reached out and hugged Lin Xiaoxi, kissing her. He chuckled, "Xiaoxi, you're right. I'll have your father correct this mistake later."
"Lin Chen, come in quickly. You must be tired from the long flight. I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow."
The three of them entered the room. The ward was a suite, with a living room outside and the patient's room inside.
"Xiaoxi said she missed her maternal grandparents."
"It's convenient for us to come, so we came directly."
Lin Chen said, taking down a drawing tube from his shoulder, "Uncle Xu, I didn't know what to bring as a gift. I hope you and Aunt Yang like this painting."
Xu Guofeng said, "It's a bother for you to bring Xiaoxi over. Why did you bring a gift? We should be the ones thanking you."
Lin Xiaoxi was somewhat puzzled.
Her maternal grandfather didn't seem very familiar with her father.
"Grandpa, where's Grandma?" Lin Xiaoxi asked.
Xu Guofeng said with a smile, "Your grandma is still asleep, but she should be waking up soon."
"Honey, is Xiaoxi here? Let me see Xiaoxi."
Yang Qingyue sounded a little anxious from inside the room.
Xu Guofeng carried Lin Xiaoxi and pushed open the door. Lin Xiaoxi stared blankly at Yang Qingyue on the hospital bed, and her eyes quickly turned red: "Grandma, you've gotten thin."
In a short time, tears welled up in Lin Xiaoxi's eyes.
"Xiaoxi, don't cry."
"Grandma is fine. Grandma just hasn't been eating much lately. The food here doesn't really agree with Grandma's stomach."
Yang Qingyue comforted her in a fluster.
Lin Xiaoxi's tears began to flow. "Grandma, are you sick? You have to get better soon."
"Mmhmm."
"Grandma will recover as quickly as possible," Yang Qingyue said quickly.
Her gaze fell on Lin Chen.
"Aunt Yang, I'm Lin Chen, Xiaoxi's father."
Yang Qingyue smiled. "Mengyao said you're taking care of Xiaoxi now, and you're doing a great job. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Chen shook his head. "Taking care of Xiaoxi isn't hard. She's very sensible, and she brings me a lot of joy."
Xu Guofeng helped Yang Qingyue sit up.
"Grandma, your hands are thin too."
Lin Xiaoxi held Yang Qingyue's hand in her small hands. Yang Qingyue wasn't fat to begin with, and now her hands felt a bit withered.
"Xiaoxi, don't worry, Grandma will be fine."
Yang Qingyue said gently.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Grandma, you need to eat more food."
Speaking of which, Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Chen: "Dad, can we bring Grandma some food?"
"Of course."
Lin Chen smiled.
Lin Xiaoxi said happily, "Grandma, Dad's cooking is the best! Grandma, you'll definitely love it."
"Really? Then Grandma is looking forward to it."
Yang Qingyue smiled and said, "Honey, help me out of bed, will you? I'll get up and sit in the living room."
"Xiaoxi, let's go out first."
Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoxi outside, and a few minutes later, Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue came out as well.
The living room was fifty to sixty square meters, with a sofa and a TV. This kind of hospital environment was still quite good.
The money spent each day was naturally not a small amount.
"Grandma, Dad is a doctor too. Are you feeling sick? Does Dad need to take a look?" Lin Xiaoxi said in a soft voice.
Yang Qingyue asked in surprise, "Lin Chen, you know medicine?"
Lin Chen nodded, "I know a little. I can handle Xiaoxi's colds, but I might not be able to handle anything too complicated."
"That's good."
"It's common for kids to get colds, fevers, and coughs."
Yang Qingyue smiled, "Old Xu showed me videos of you playing basketball. I didn't expect you to be so good at basketball."
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "Grandma, I watched Dad play basketball. Dad is the best."
Xu Guofeng said, "Lin Chen, do you want to play in the NBA? I can help you find connections to get you in the NBA."
"Uncle Xu, I don't have that thought for now. The most important thing for me right now is to take care of Xiaoxi."
Lin Chen said.
Xu Guofeng nodded, "If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me, and I'll do my best to arrange things for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Lin Xiaoxi was puzzled, "Dad, you're both being weird."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi said with a puzzled look, "Dad, we're a family, helping each other is only natural, why are you thanking Grandpa?"
"Why?"
Yang Qingyue said, "Xiaoxi, maybe it's because Grandpa, Grandma, and your father haven't seen each other for a long time. Over time, we become a little distant."
"Old Xu, go for a walk with Lin Chen. You two have a good chat."
"Xiaoxi, Grandma will play with you."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Lin Chen and Xu Guofeng went downstairs.
Xu Guofeng chose a very high-end private hospital. The environment inside was excellent, and the downstairs was like a park.
"Lin Chen, we actually need to thank you for what happened back then. If it weren't for you, Mengyao's psychological trauma would have been much greater."
"She might even do something rash."
Xu Guofeng began as they walked slowly.
Lin Chen shook his head. "Thanks aren't necessary, Uncle Xu."
Xu Guofeng said, "I still need to thank you properly."
"If you want to get into the NBA, I'll help you. If you don't, I'll provide you with a ten million yuan startup fund."
Lin Chen was muttering inwardly, looks like Xu Mengyao didn't say anything.
If she had, Xu Guofeng would probably know that he didn't need a ten million yuan startup fund at all.
"Uncle Xu, you don't approve of us being together?"
Xu Guofeng shook his head. "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean that. I wouldn't agree if you were just ordinary. You two can't just be together because of Xiaoxi."
"If that's the case, you'll still break up when Xiaoxi grows up."
"That kind of marriage is just a waste of your time."
"You have a daughter now too, as a father, can you understand?"
Lin Chen nodded, "I understand."
Xu Guofeng said, "The situation is different now. You're extremely good at basketball, that's a big highlight for you."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money or anything. It's enough to be excellent in one aspect. If you two can truly be together, Mengyao's mother and I will bless you."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Guofeng in surprise.
Xu Guofeng was much easier to talk to than he'd anticipated.
Xu Guofeng sighed softly. "Perhaps only with you can Mengyao truly emerge from the shadows of the past."
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Xu, I will help Mengyao."
"Mm."
Xu Guofeng nodded slightly.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"If you start a business, I can offer some advice. If you choose basketball, then you'll have to work hard on your own."
Lin Chen chuckled. "Uncle Xu, I actually already have a job, and I earn some money every month."
