Chapter 897 - 940: Vanity
These two children are her darlings; if she lost either one of them, she certainly wouldn’t survive!
Because Xiao Bai’s school was near the hospital, it didn’t take long for the business car to arrive at the hospital entrance!
Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin entered the hospital with Xiao Bai, while the driver went to park the car in the parking lot.
Mu Beiting didn’t go anywhere else; he directly took Ye Anxin and Xiao Bai to the laboratory department! The head of the laboratory department personally drew blood from the three of them.
Mu Beiting asked calmly, "How long will it take?"
The head of the laboratory department adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, calculated in his mind, and answered, "Under normal circumstances, the results would be available by noon tomorrow. However, since Mr. Mu is in such a hurry, give me two hours, and I’ll get the results as quickly as possible for you!"
Mu Beiting glanced at the time on his watch, his brows furrowed slightly, and then relaxed. Finally, he nodded and decided not to bother the head of the laboratory department anymore. He then gently said to Ye Anxin and Xiao Bai, "I’ll take you to have something to eat first. Once we’ve eaten, the results should be ready."
Watching the busy head of the laboratory department inside, Ye Anxin checked the time on her phone; it was already five o’clock, and the doctors were supposed to get off work at five-thirty. In two hours, it would be seven; wouldn’t it be past working hours then?
Thinking that, Ye Anxin shyly asked, "We’re going to eat, but what about the doctor? Is he working overtime just for us now?"
"Working overtime is part of their duty. Even if it’s not for me, they’d still have to work overtime for others," Mu Beiting said expressionlessly, leaving without looking back, holding Ye Anxin and Xiao Bai’s hands.
As she was being led outside by Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin kept glancing back at the head of the laboratory department, who was focused on the instruments, feeling deep sympathy for him.
But right now, Xiao Bai’s condition was urgent; they had to know the results immediately! If what Ruan Zhitong said was true, she must discuss the countermeasures with Uncle immediately! If it’s false, they also need to figure out a way to catch her out!
However, without the results, Ye Anxin had no appetite! She mechanically shoveled food into her mouth, mind elsewhere.
Seeing that Ye Anxin had no appetite, Xiao Bai asked concernedly, "Mom, what’s wrong with you? Were you abused over the past half month? Tell me, and I’ll take revenge for you!"
Not wanting Xiao Bai to worry, Ye Anxin hurriedly shook her head, forcing a smile and patting his head, "No, no! I’m just not very hungry! If I was really abused, your dad would be the first to not spare the person who bullied Mom!"
"That’s true; Dad would never allow anyone to bully us!" He said, taking another bite of food, then continued, "But Mom, even if you’re not hungry, you should eat a little! You’ve lost so much weight in just over half a month! It makes my heart ache just looking at you!"
"...!" Ye Anxin couldn’t help but touch her face, wanting not to make Xiao Bai suspicious. She smiled and nodded, forcing herself to eat a bowl of rice, putting on a brave front.
After eating, the three of them sat in the restaurant for a while until the time was about right. Only then did Mu Beiting pay the bill and take them away.
At the entrance of the hospital laboratory room, before Mu Beiting could speak, the head of the laboratory department hurriedly handed the results to him! Since Mu Beiting had secretly instructed him beforehand to write the results at the bottom of the report and not to say them out loud, he said nothing and merely handed the results to Mu Beiting, letting her see for herself.
Mu Beiting took the test report and first pulled out Xiao Bai’s to take a look! Upon seeing the test results, his expression immediately darkened, his deep eyes tinged with a cold light.
Noticing the change in Mu Beiting’s expression, Ye Anxin was startled and quickly asked, "Uncle, how are the results?"
Seeing Mu Beiting’s unusual expression, Xiao Bai hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Dad, whose results are you looking at?"
Mu Beiting folded the test report, put it in his jacket pocket, smiled faintly, and said lightly, "Nothing, the results are very normal! Since everything is fine, let’s leave! Let’s go home!"
"Really okay?" Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows, suspiciously eyeing Mu Beiting, clearly not believing what he said.
Mu Beiting expressionlessly countered, "Do you think there could be a problem?"
"...!" Xiao Bai, caught off guard by Mu Beiting’s question, was rendered speechless!
Ye Anxin blinked, glanced at Mu Beiting, and since Xiao Bai was there, didn’t press further. Instead, she smiled and said, "Since everything’s fine, let’s head home! I wonder if Chu Yi will make a big fuss not seeing us!"
Xiao Bai pouted, looking happy yet pretending to be helpless, "Surely! She’s in her clingy phase now! You don’t know, ever since that fake woman came to our house, Chu Yi doesn’t want anyone but me. Sometimes, she even cries when Dad holds her! She sticks to me all day, I almost died from it!"
Seeing this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but flick his forehead gently, "Alright, stop showing off in front of me! You know you’re a good brother, that’s why your sister clings to you! Let’s go! Let’s go home! If we don’t, your sister will be asleep soon!"
When they left at two in the afternoon, Chu Yi was napping! Now it’s past seven, and from here to home takes at least another two hours! Wouldn’t they be home by nine o’clock? Would Chu Yi be asleep by then?
Xiao Bai nodded and didn’t question the test results any further, heading home with Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin!
However, to their delight, it was as if Chu Yi sensed their return. Even though she couldn’t stop dozing off, her eyelids battling each other, she stayed awake! Not until Ye Anxin arrived to hold her did she finally cheerfully grin.
"Chu Yi, I’m back. Do you want brother to hold you?" Xiao Bai handed his backpack to the servant, happily walked to Ye Anxin’s side, and reached out to hold Chu Yi.
Ever since that fake mom came into the house, the first thing Xiao Bai did when he got home every day was hold Chu Yi! Every time he held her, she would always giggle in his arms! This satisfied his vanity as a brother immensely!
Unfortunately, this time was completely different! When he reached out his hand, Chu Yi merely pursed her lips and disdainfully turned her head away, not looking at him at all!
Seeing this, Xiao Bai’s smile froze on his face! A trace of embarrassment and awkwardness flashed in his eyes!
