"Hello Uncle Bai." Li Lingling greeted Bai Lu politely, and it could be seen that the little girl's spirit was getting better and better, and her personality was gradually becoming cheerful.

"Call my brother." Bai Lu reached out and rubbed her hair and shook the handbag in his hand. "There's no gift for calling uncle."

"Huh?" Li Lingling looked up at Li Xiaolan.

"You're not doing it again." Li Xiaolan glanced at Bai Lu in disgust. "You call me sister, and let my daughter call you brother? You're more than a round older than her. ”

"Hey, hey, each with its own opinion." Bai Lu said this, but still handed over the gift. "Let's see if you like it."

Li Lingling thanked Bai Lu, took out a small red box from the bag, opened it, and saw that it was a longevity lock, which was much smaller than the one given by Chen Jialuo, and even the necklace added up to about ten grams, and Bai Lu didn't know what kind of gift to give, thinking of the longevity lock given by Chen Jialuo, he simply bought one and gave it away, at least the meaning was very good, after all, Li Lingling had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Bai Lu, why did you send such a valuable thing?" There was no picture or anything on the handbag, Li Xiaolan looked at the handbag so big, and thought it was some small object that Bai Lu bought casually, such as a cartoon hairpin, a head rope and the like, but it turned out to be a pure gold necklace.

"You can't accept this, Xiao Ling, return it to Uncle Bai quickly."

Li Lingling was very obedient, and he had to return it to Bai Lu.

"It's not much, just keep it." Bai Lu took the necklace and put it around Li Lingling's neck, it could be seen that she liked it very much, but she still looked at Li Xiaolan with a blank eye, and asked with her eyes if she could accept it.

"You...... I owe you almost nothing. Li Xiaolan sighed and touched her daughter's head. Take it, just this one. ”

Bai Lu smiled: "What are you talking about, what do you say?" One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, to you this is a mother for life...... If you weren't too young, I'd have to call Mom. ”

"You've really changed now, you used to be silent, but now you're flamboyant, and you're not serious when you talk about it." Li Xiaolan couldn't laugh or cry.

It's not that she didn't think about it, at the beginning, Bai Lu was helping to find donors and paying money, she thought about why Bai Lu wanted to help her, some time ago Bai Lu helped her find a job and find her a place to live, and she also thought about whether Bai Lu had any thoughts about her. But I'm a few years older than him.

Later, Li Xiaolan also found that she was thinking a little too much, Bai Lu was very good to him when he was still in school, so he would help himself, and he also had the ability to help himself. Besides, with Bai Lu's family background, how could he still fall in love with a middle-aged woman like himself who still has a daughter. Only those TV series that shatter the three views will act like this.

"Sister Lan, do you have slippers?" Bai Lu saw that Li Xiaolan had cleaned up so much at home, so he decided to change his shoes.

"You don't need to change your shoes, you can just step on it."

"Then you'll have to clean up again, if you have one, get me a pair."

"Yes." Li Xiaolan took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet. "You left it before and didn't take it, I cleaned it and put it away."

Bai Lu smiled: "I forgot, mainly because I can't remember the small things like slippers, what are you still keeping, just throw it away." ”

"Money buys it, you can throw it away if you say it." Li Xiaolan took out the slippers and gave them to Bai Lu. "If you're rich, you can't be such a loser."

As he was talking, the video intercom doorbell next to the door rang, and Li Xiaolan went over to pick it up, it was the security guard of the community, saying that Li Lingling's grandparents were here, and said that they had made an appointment, and asked if they were allowed to enter.

Li Xiaolan took a deep breath and said let the security guard send people up.

In less than five minutes, the elevator door opened, and the couple who had seen it in the morning walked out of the elevator, and when they saw Li Lingling standing at the door and probing their brains, the little old lady immediately smiled with a wrinkled face: "Ouch, my eldest granddaughter wants to kill grandma, come and let grandma see." ”

Li Lingling turned his head and ran, ran behind Bai Lu, grabbed Bai Lu's clothes, poked his head out, and looked at it carefully.

This made the two of them embarrassed, and his own granddaughter saw that she was scared like this, turned around and ran, and hid behind a strange man...... Well? Strange man? Li Xiaolan has a man in her family? No wonder I suddenly moved, and I changed to a different city, lived in such a nice house and drove such a good car, and I was looking for a man again.

The old couple's faces drooped down on the spot, and they didn't even ask if they changed their shoes when they entered the house, and sat down directly on the sofa, as if they were following up with their own home.

"Tell me, what do you want us to say? You have a man, Xiaoling can't follow you. ”

Li Xiaolan was explaining, but Bai Lu pulled her: "You take the child into the house." ”

When Li Xiaolan brought the child into the house and closed the door, Bai Lu spoke: "What do you mean by the two of you?" If I'm not mistaken, your sons have also remarried, right? Oh, it's not okay for children to follow their parents and stepparents, just follow their parents and stepparents? But how did I hear that it is stepmothers who abuse children? ”

"What do you know as a young man?" The old lady glared at Bai Lu. "You're a kid yourself, do you know how to get along with kids? What else do you have besides being young? ”

"Just be young." Bai Lu said with a smile. "I'm not even thirty years old, so that's an advantage. Oh, what else, right? I still have money. ”

These words choked the old couple a little uncomfortable, and they didn't know how to answer, so they wanted to ask how much money you have? What a shame that is.

"I'm ......," the old lady snorted with a cold face. Hmph, we've divorced my son, and we're going through the formalities. ”

"Huh? Divorced again, huh? Bai Lu estimated that the divorce from Li Xiaolan was most likely caused by the old couple.

This "again" is quite insulting, and the old couple heard Bai Lu say this, and their faces turned dark.

"What are you? Xiaoling is my granddaughter, her surname is Xu! "The old lady began to mess around.

"Her surname is Li, and her mother's surname." Bai Lu is not in a hurry at all, quarrelling, it's not who has a high voice, whoever is unreasonable will win, but whoever is angry will lose. Because of quarrels with others, there are more people who are angry with themselves in the ICU, and there are also people who are directly angry and reincarnated.

The elderly, fifty or sixty years old, more or less a little high, Bai Lu is also worried that the old couple will be angry, and then there will be some joint and several liability, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Let's not talk about anything else." Bai Lu gets to the point. "The main purpose of the two of you is to let Li Lingling go back with you, right?"

The two of them glanced at Li Xiaolan, originally they planned to let the two remarry, but now they know that the car and house are not Li Xiaolan's, so just take their granddaughter back.

"What do you want to say?" The old lady looked at Bai Lu and asked.

Bai Lu also saw that the old lady said this and that throughout the whole process, the old man didn't say a word, and the family status was clear at a glance.

"I want to say, I can take it back if I want......"

When Li Xiaolan heard this, she immediately became a little anxious, and pulled Bai Lu's clothes: "You ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Bai Lu turned his head and blinked, looked at the old couple with happy eyebrows and said, "You know that Xiao Ling was sick before, right?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the old couple's expressions froze, and they wanted to say something, but Bai Lu didn't give them a chance to speak: "You didn't come to have a child when the child was sick, and now that the child is cured and you want it, is it appropriate?" …… Of course, it's not impossible, after all, you also said just now that the child and his stepfather don't live well, although I don't agree with it very much, but after all, you are the child's own grandparents. So, I also understand the anxiety you are feeling when you are about to die, so I will put myself in my shoes and decide to let the child follow you. ”

Bai Lu's words were heart-wrenching enough, and the old couple wanted to have a seizure, but as soon as they heard that they agreed to take the child away, they had to swallow the words as soon as they reached their mouths, and they were quite uncomfortable.

"But ......"

Bai Lu suddenly said: "There are a few things you have to know, I am the one who finds the matching type for the child, and I am the one who spends the money to treat the disease, you have no problem if you want to bring the child back, but I can't spend this money in vain, right?" You've got to give it to me. And you should know that bone marrow transplantation does not mean that it is completely cured, how many years you can live, it depends on the cost of follow-up maintenance, the anti-rejection drugs we use are all imported, and the medical insurance does not reimburse, and the monthly cost is about 20,000 yuan. I'll do the math......"

Bai Lu really opened the calculator on his mobile phone and counted it decently.

"Alright." Bai Lu put away his phone and said. "The donor was found abroad, and it cost a million US dollars, and there is a bill for the cost of surgery and hospitalization, which is almost more than 300,000 yuan, right? I'll give you a discount, just give me a total of seven million. ”

As soon as Li Xiaolan heard this, she reacted to what Bai Lu meant by what she said before, and suddenly she wanted to laugh very much.

Not to mention, it's a real solution, people have weaknesses, and when you try to take what they care about the most, they usually go out of their way to protect it.

When the child was sick, the money was spent, they didn't pay a penny, and they divorced their son from themselves, and they wanted to take the child back? Okay, take the money. Li Xiaolan also knew that they couldn't come up with that much money at all, let alone seven million, and they had to make up for 700,000 scruples.

"You talk nonsense!" The old lady didn't believe Bai Lu's words, but she inquired, donating bone marrow doesn't cost money, and it costs more than 200,000 yuan for surgery, and five or six thousand yuan a month for later health rejection medicine is enough.

Bai Lu had expected that there would definitely be this sentence, and everything that should be prepared was ready, and he took out the printed document from his pocket: "Am I talking nonsense, you can see for yourself, there are terms and signatures on it, and the fees are clearly written...... Yes, further down, there is also the stamp of the notary office. ”

The old couple took the document and read it, for fear that they would read it wrong, so they took out their reading glasses and took them to look at it carefully. The more you look at it, the more ugly it becomes, as if you are looking at a deed of sale.

"How? Okay, huh? Okay, just give money. "Bai Lu has a face that I only recognize money." Anyway, I'm here to say, if I want to take the child away and give me the money, I don't have to doubt the authenticity of the documents, I can check them at any time. By the way, I would like to remind you, even if you don't want to give money and want to solve it through legal means, it doesn't work, and you have to give me this money in a lawsuit. ”

"You...... You ...... "The old lady has been you for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What if the child wants to follow us?" You call the child out, and you ask her who she wants to follow. ”

Li Xiaolan looked at Bai Lu, and when she saw Bai Lu nodding, she went to the bedroom and called Li Lingling out.

The old lady turned her face faster than she could turn a book, and immediately smiled with folds on her face, and made a kind grandmother look in that amiable tone: "Xiaoling, I haven't seen my grandparents and father for so long, don't you want us?" Saying that he wanted to touch Li Lingling's head, Li Lingling turned his head and dodged and hid behind Li Xiaolan.

The old lady's outstretched hand was awkwardly frozen in mid-air, and she withdrew her hand with a sneer: "Haha, Xiaoling is still shy...... Grandma asks you, do you want to go back to see your father with your grandparents? ”

Li Lingling shook his head vigorously.

"Why? Don't you want Daddy? ”

Li Lingling's big eyes blinked, and for a long time, he said a sentence full of innocence but particularly heart-piercing: "Because you don't want me anymore, I don't want you anymore." ”

The old couple's faces changed again, and the old lady forced a smile: "Nonsense, who said we don't want you anymore?" Did your mom tell you? Your mom lied to you. ”

Bai Lu exclaimed Good guy, can people be so shameless?

"Mom never lied to me." Li Lingling answered as if answering a teacher's question, and answered very seriously. "I heard you say it. When you were in the hospital, you told your father, don't want me, that your father is still young, and he can have another child. ”

Then, Li Lingling asked a more heart-wrenching question: "Don't you want me?" Why do you want me now? ”

The expression is very innocent, but the question is particularly heart-wrenching, the kind that pokes the heart and stirs it a few times.

She didn't mean it, she just couldn't figure out why, and she just wanted to figure out this question that she had been thinking about for several years, but she hadn't seen anyone before, and she hadn't had the opportunity to ask, but now that she did, of course she had to ask.

It is precisely this kind of purest mind that asks such words that will be more lethal.

Bai Lu was still very angry and praised beside him: "Yes, why? ”

The faces of the old couple were as ugly as if they had taken a sharp breath in a canned herring that had been exposed to the sun for a week, how could they have imagined that the child would actually hear it.

"Don't stop talking." Bai Lu knocked on the coffee table. "It's past six o'clock, and I haven't cooked your meals at home, hurry up and decide, let's leave when you're decided, don't miss the bus."

The old couple glanced at each other, got up and left without saying a word, and took away Bai Lu's document when they left, it seems that they still want to make a final struggle, they are old people, and they can't figure out the routines of young people, in case they are deceived, right. It's better to check it yourself to know if it's true or not.

……

"Thank you......" Watching the elevator go down, Li Xiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was left to handle it herself, and she couldn't think of a way to do it.

"Don't keep thanking me, you're about to embarrass me." Bai Lu said with a smile. "Then I'll go back first, if there's anything else, Sister Lan, you tell me, if I'm not in the company, you can call me."

"You're leaving? I'll leave after eating. Li Xiaolan said. You won't let me thank you, and you're not going to eat? It's half past six. ”

"Don't bother, you have to make it fresh."

"Let's go out to eat, how can we have a treat to eat at home." Li Xiaolan said. "If it's convenient, call your girlfriend too?"

"Let me ask." Bai Lu called Qiao Xiaoqiao, and when he heard that he hadn't eaten yet, he asked Qiao Xiaoqiao to come out, and someone had a treat.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Qiao Xiaoqiao called and said that he was outside the community, Bai Lu and Li Xiaolan took Li Lingling downstairs, and when they arrived at the gate of the community, they saw Baizhu's A8 parked there, and as soon as he pulled away from the co-pilot, Bai Lu almost sat on Qiao Xiaoqiao, and looked down to see that it was Zhang Lan's car.

"Sister Lan......"

"Huh?" Li Xiaolan was taking the child to get into the car, and when she heard Bai Lu shouting, she subconsciously responded.

"No......" Bai Lu said hesitantly. It's hard to tell the difference between the two. ”

Li Xiaolan got into the car, only to see that the driver was also a woman, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Zhang Lan? ”

Zhang Lan turned his head sideways and waved his hand: "Hello, Bai Lu was calling me just now, haha." I'm cheeky enough to follow the rice, don't mind? ”

"Don't mind, don't mind." Li Xiaolan was a little excited. She doesn't chase stars, and she doesn't know which top-notch little fresh meat is in front of her, but Zhang Lan knows it. Celebrities of this level can't even be invited, let alone take the initiative to eat.

After getting into the car, Bai Lu first introduced them separately and asked, "What's the situation?" What about my brother? ”

"Your brother is eating at home." Zhang Lan giggled, she smiled Qiao Xiaoqiao also laughed, and Bai Lu laughed inexplicably, why is it so funny for the boss to eat at home?

Qiao Xiaoqiao explained Bai Lu's confusion: "The eldest brother originally said that he was going to send us, but Sister Lan said that the family meals were ready, and she didn't waste it, so she drove her own car and asked the eldest brother to eat at home." ”

"My brother, this is too ......," Bai Lu was speechless. Xiao Qiao said, your belly is big, you haven't reached the stabilization period yet, so let you drive out by yourself? ”

"No matter how big it is, it's just your deception and bluffing." After speaking, Zhang Lan said to Li Xiaolan: "Sister Li, your daughter is so old, you tell him." ”

Li Xiaolan was in shock after getting into the car, Bai Luke had never said that Zhang Lan was his sister-in-law, and only then did she come back to her senses when she heard Zhang Lan ask her: "Huh? Yes, you should be careful, and you don't have to be overly careful, I haven't been off work since I was pregnant with Xiaoling, and I only took a break when I was half a month away from the due date. ”

After finding a hotel with good decoration and inexpensive prices, Zhang Lan was fully armed with hats and masks, and after entering the private room, she took off her mask and said to Bai Lu: "Look, it's not good to be famous, and it's not convenient to go out at all." ”

After ordering, the three women got together, Zhang Lan and Qiao Xiaoqiao were asking Li Xiaolan for experience, although Liu Jinnian also taught a lot of experience, but after all, it was many years ago, she gave birth to three children and had rich experience, but it was twenty-seven years ago since the last child.

Li Lingling was very well-behaved, so she sat there with Li Xiaolan's mobile phone and watched, Bai Lu thought she was watching cartoons, so she went over and took a look, this girl was actually watching online classes, and what she watched was not the kind that was suitable for her age, nor was it a conventional number of words, but a mechanical principle, which shocked Bai Lu.

"What do you think of this?" Bai Lu was very curious, a little girl at this age, even if she doesn't like to play with Barbie dolls and don't like to watch cartoons, she shouldn't watch this kind of thing, just ...... It's incredible, I remember when I saw her in the ward, she also loved to watch cartoons.

"I love cars, I want to make my own." Li Lingling innocently winked at Bai Lu. "Mom said that if you want to make your own car, you have to look at this."

"Do you understand?"

Bai Lu was surprised by how Li Xiaolan educated her daughter, for most parents, it might be "don't study hard, see what these useless things do", it is absolutely impossible for the child to watch it.

"I don't understand." Li Lingling was very honest, and then pointed to a dismantled engine in the video. "But I can put it together."

"Do you know how to put it together?"

"Yes." Li Lingling said with a grin. "I just saw how to tear it down, so I don't know how to put it together."

Bai Lu was even more surprised: "Sister Lan, your daughter is amazing." ”

Li Xiaolan and Zhang Lan looked at it at the same time, Li Xiaolan was accustomed to saying: "She likes to do handicrafts since she was a child, she used to have a lot of building blocks, I built a shape and then dismantled, she basically looked at it once and then built it again, and then before she got sick, I went to repair the car, she watched the car repairer dismantle the engine, and then said to me, 'Mom, I also want to play'." ”

"Awesome." Bai Lu praised. "It's not good to be able to develop aircraft engines when you grow up, and it's good to be an engine engineer."

"She." Li Xiaolan looked at Li Lingling dotingly. "This kid is very biased, I'm worried that she won't be admitted to college in the future, but if she likes it, let her see, even if she can't be an engine engineer in the future, she can still be an auto mechanic."

Bai Lu heran: "You really want to open it." ”

Li Xiaolan smiled: "What else can I do if I can't think of it?" At least she has a craft, and if she has a craft, she won't go hungry. ”

"Okay, I'll take her to my friend's another day, my friend has a garage and a lot of engines."

Qiao Xiaoqiao asked, "What did you say about Brother Zhang?" ”

"yes, he's behind the garage." Bai Lu looked at his phone. "Don't change the day, tomorrow is Friday, the day after tomorrow will be the weekend, anyway, it's the last day, Sister Lan, you ask for a leave of absence for the child, and I will take her tomorrow."

Before Li Xiaolan could speak, Qiao Xiaoqiao said, "What are you doing, don't let your children go to school anymore." ”

"I'm really curious if she'll be able to put the dismantled engine back in." Bai Lu asked Li Lingling. "Do you like to drive?"

"I like it." Li Lingling nodded. "But my mother said I was still young, and I could only drive when I grew up."

Bai Lu suddenly had an idea: "Sister Lan, how about letting your girl be a race car driver?" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaolan looked at Bai Lu in astonishment: "Race ...... Racer? Isn't that dangerous? ”

"That's right." On second thought, what kind of race car driver should a girl be. But Bai Lu's thoughts still kept spinning in his head.

You say, wouldn't it be very attractive to have a team with all female racers?
