Chapter 2344

In the hall, Bei Dihong sat on the sofa in the middle.

After a few months, his hair seemed to have turned even whiter.

His eyes slightly sunken, his complexion was somewhat worse than before.

I still remember the first time meeting the old gentleman, he was still agile and didn’t show any aging.

He was naturally imposing, such awe-inspiring presence.

Now, in just half a year, he seemed to have aged a lot.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness in her heart, softly called out, “Sir Bei.”

She stepped forward to the old man, respectfully saluted him.

“Xiaxia has come.”

Seeing Baili Xia, Bei Dihong was also seldom excited, tremblingly extended his large hand.

Baili Xia hurriedly reached out her hand and handed it over.

Looking at his kind brows and now so aged appearance, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

Bei Dihong held Baili Xia’s hand in his palm, gently pulling her to sit on the sofa to his left.

“This morning I heard from You that you were coming to our house, didn’t expect you would come so soon to see me.”

Baili Xia felt the large hand holding hers, he had indeed aged.

His skin had long dried with no trace of smoothness, looking down, she could clearly see the age spots scattered on the skin of the back of his hand.

She wanted so much to call out “grandfather”.

But, now was not the time.

She could only nod, tightly holding onto Bei Dihong’s elderly hand.

“Old sir, how has your health been?”

As they spoke, Bei Xier had already returned, elegantly sitting on the sofa on Bei Dihong’s other side.

Bei Dihong looked at Bei Xier, then his gaze returned to Baili Xia.

“I’m old, little ailments have been particularly many lately.”

“Thanks to Xi’er often coming by to take care of these old bones, otherwise, it’s really troublesome.”

Baili Xia looked up at Bei Xier, nodded at her.

This girl seemed to really care about the old man.

Bei Xier softly said, “Grandfather, you’ve exaggerated my role too much, I’m hardly of much help.”

“Speaking of which, I’m somewhat envious of Miss Baili.”

She looked at Baili Xia, her gaze clear.

“I heard Miss Baili’s medical skills are impressive and can use acupuncture to alleviate grandfather’s ailments.”

“Such good medical skills, if there’s a chance, I’d also like to learn a bit.”

Baili Xia slightly raised her eyebrows, didn’t expect she knew quite a bit about her.

When this girl spoke, there was a sense of docility and cleverness, not a hint of insincerity, it didn’t seem like a joke.

She smiled and said, “I’ve learned a bit of the basics from my master, being able to help relieve the old sir’s pain is putting what I learned to good use.”

“If you want to learn, I can teach you too.”

“But… I wonder you are…”

Bei Dihong laughed a couple of times, straightened up, extending his other hand to hold Bei Xier’s hand.

“Look at me, getting senile, I forgot to introduce you.”

“Her name is Bei Xier, she’s Qingyue’s adopted daughter who was taken in not long ago.”

“Although she’s adopted, she cares a lot about us old couple, often coming by to take care of us.”

“In this respect, compared to those biological children, she is much better.”

Baili Xia could see that the old man truly cherished Bei Xier.

Her appearance was somewhat similar to Bei Qingyou, perhaps that was one reason.

But more than that, it was probably because she also genuinely cared for the old man.

However, being Qingyue’s adopted daughter… that made her reassess Bei Xier anew.
