afternoon.

Bai Ran woke up from his nap and Yuanbao was still sleeping.

She went downstairs first and went into the kitchen.

The servant smiled and said, "Miss Bai, the materials are ready."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome."

Bai Ran thanked him, put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, stood in front of the kitchen sink and started to get busy, preparing to bake cookies for Yuanbao.

In the living room, the phone rang. It was a landline.

The servant answered, "Hello..."

At the other end, I don't know what was said. The servant asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Who are you? Hello, hello?"

But, no answer was received.

The other party hung up.

The servant frowned and muttered, "It's inexplicable."

"what happened?"

Bai Ran looked over curiously, "Who's calling?"

This island is the Lu family's private island. There are not many residents on the island and it is almost isolated from the world.

The only people who know the landline number are members of the Lu family.

Bai Ran guessed: "Is it Mr. Lu?"

Could it be that Fu Hanchuan had given up looking for her? Could she leave with the ingot?

however.

"No."

The servant shook his head, frowned, and said blankly, "I don't know who it is, but he said something incomprehensible."

"What?"

"What are you talking about..." The servant stumbled and couldn't speak clearly, "What's the matter... What, seriously ill!"

"?"

Bai Ran was startled. What are you talking about?

She was naturally more sensitive than the servants, and blurted out, "Is that right, Bai Gongli?"

"Hey!"

The servant nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes! That's the name!"

It was the first time she heard this name, so it was normal that she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Who is Bai Gongli? Bai Gongli is seriously ill...what does that mean?"

The servant muttered, and suddenly realized... this Miss Bai Ranbai, her surname is also Bai!

When I looked at Bai Ran again, his expression had changed and he was panicked.

Grandpa, is he seriously ill?! Her palms instantly felt cold, and the chill penetrated into her heart. How could she not worry?

Bai Ran asked the servant, "Who called? Was it Miss Sheng?"

If the person who called here wasn't Fu Hanjiang, then it could only be Xiangsi, right? Moreover, it was news about Grandfather!

"No."

The servant still shook his head, "It's a man's voice."

It’s not lovesickness either?

Right.

If it was lovesickness, she would not just leave a simple sentence, she would probably ask the servant to call her.

So, who could it be?

Bai Ran frowned, bit his fingernails nervously, and paced back and forth in small steps.

Since coming to the island, she has had no contact with the outside world.

The phone was always turned off, because once it was turned on, Fu Hanchuan would immediately find her based on the location!

There is only one landline phone in the villa.

For safety reasons, she had never used it and had never thought about using it.

But now...

Bai Ran hesitated.

Grandfather is seriously ill, who brought this news? If it wasn't Xiangsi, then this person must have bad intentions!

However, even if he had bad intentions, she couldn't pretend she hadn't heard it!

She was raised by her grandfather, who was one of the few relatives who loved her.

"grandfather……"

Really worried, Bai Ran struggled for a while, but finally, he picked up the phone.

After some hesitation, he dialed Sheng Xiangsi's number.

The first time, it didn’t connect.

The habit of missing someone is not to answer calls from unfamiliar numbers.

Bai Ran knew about it and dialed the number several times in a row.

"Hey?"

At the other end, the voice of lovesickness finally rang out.

She saw this number had been called several times before she picked up the phone in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Xiangsi! It's me!"

"slowly?"

Sheng Xiangsi was startled. "Wait a moment!"

She is taking a break at the moment, watching the director directing other groups' performances.

Then he took the phone and hurried to the lounge, carefully closing the door. Even so, he still lowered his voice cautiously.

"Why are you calling? Are you okay?"

Could it be that he encountered difficulties?

It shouldn’t happen. She believed that Fu Hanjiang would make proper arrangements.

"Lovesickness!" Bai Ran didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Is my grandfather seriously ill?"

"!"

Sheng Xiangsi was startled again. She actually knew that?

How did he know? It couldn't be Fu Hanjiang. If he informed Bai Ran, he would definitely tell her in advance.

"This is real."

Because of lovesickness's silence, Bai Ran already had the answer.

"My grandpa...what happened to him?"

"slowly……"

At this moment, Sheng Xiangsi has come back to her senses.

She was originally struggling over whether she should inform Bai Ran about this matter. Now that she already knew, she decided to tell the truth.

"Grandpa, he's not doing well."

"!!"

Hearing this, Bai Ran suddenly closed his eyes and shook slightly. He spoke with difficulty, "How could this happen? When did it happen?"

"That's right, the day after you left."

Bai Ran understood, "It's because of me."

"Don't blame yourself." Sheng Xiangsi frowned and shook her head, "How could it be because of you?"

In this matter, she does not favor her eldest brother.

"If you want to blame someone, blame Big Brother."

If it weren't for the eldest brother's insistence on having his own way and forcing Bai Ran, no matter how bad Bai's health was, he wouldn't have fallen ill at this critical juncture.

However, Bai Ran couldn't comfort himself like this.

"Grandpa, how sick is he?"

"Grandpa is already... semi-conscious."

Sheng Xiangsi cannot hide this matter.

There were some things she didn't dare to say directly. In her opinion, it was hard to say whether Mr. Bai could survive this time.

She was feeling so uncomfortable, let alone Bai Ran?

"grandfather……"

Bai Ran murmured for a long while, then pleaded, "Xiang Si, can I ask you for a favor?"

She said with difficulty, "I know this is an excessive request. You and Mr. Lu have helped me a lot, but I want to see Grandpa!"

For a moment, both of them were silent.

They both knew how much risk Fu Hanjiang took to help Xiangsi.

Now that Bai Ran proposed to go back to Jiangcheng, it is very likely that all the efforts made before would be wasted!

Once Fu Hanchuan finds out, will the two brothers turn against each other?

"I'm sorry..." Bai Ran knew that he had gone too far, "Xiang Si, I'll figure out a way myself..."

"What can you think of on your own?"

Sheng Xiangsi spoke up, interrupting her.

It would be a problem for her to leave the island on her own.

Even if I could leave and return to Jiangcheng, I would be discovered by Qi Si in minutes!

"Grandpa is sick. No one could have predicted this."

Therefore, it is natural for Bai Ran to want to come back...

I’m afraid this will be the last time we see each other!

"Don't act rashly."

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xiangsi said, "I'll find a way to deal with this matter."

"Lovesickness..."

Bai Ran choked up, "Thank you, thank you. If there is any accident, it has nothing to do with you and Mr. Lu! It's my business alone!"

"Don't think about it for now. Anyway, don't act rashly. Wait for my news!"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xiangsi held the phone, frowning and holding his forehead.

After a moment, he sent a message to Fu Hanjiang.
