Chapter 640: So Many Girls Like Uncle_1

Baili Xia looked at Ning Anran lying in the hospital bed, her face filled with helplessness.

The news of An Ran’s severe illness was sent to her family on the night of her accident.

However, until now, on the sixth night, her family has still not made any move.

Let alone paying her a visit, they did not even make a phone call.

Even when the hospital called them, they refused to answer.

The moment they heard the caller was from the hospital, they immediately hung up.

At first, Baili Xia didn’t know what was happening, but she eventually figured out the issue.

They might be afraid the hospital would ask them for medical expenses, right?

Even though they are not her biological family, they raised her for so many years.

Situations like these always leave people sighing deeply.

Ning Anran, however, didn’t seem to mind this; she seemed to have grown used to it.

“After my adoptive father passed away, my adoptive mother and my two brothers haven’t been kind to me. But once you get used to it, it’s fine.”

Baili Xia glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

Every family has its hardships.

Isn’t she the same?

However, Ning Anran always seemed so optimistic and generous that she neglected the problems in her family.

She thought An Ran had always been living carefree and happily.

“It’s not a big deal.” Ning Anran gave her a reassuring smile.

“In a few years, I’ll graduate from college.

Then I’ll find a good job, and my life will be just fine.”

“And besides, I don’t have any burdens, right?”

Her adoptive father is gone, and no one in her family really cares about her.

In fact, she feels quite relieved in this situation.

At least, she won’t need to bear any burdens for anyone in the future.

If they are not good to her, then she won’t be good to them either.

Baili Xia nodded but remained silent, peeling grapes for her with devotion.

“However, Xiaxia, the medical expenses this time…”

Ning Anran looked at her, blinking her large eyes, “Did…

Mr.

Xiaojiu pay for it?”

“Are you still thinking about paying him back?” Baili Xia glanced at her then returned her gaze to the grapes.

“You were injured because of him.

It’s already gracious of you not to ask him for compensation.”

“Xiaxia, what nonsense are you talking about?” Ning Anran immediately protested.

“What does this have to do with Mr. Xiaojiu? I was the one who acted impulsively.”

In fact, Mr.

Xiaojiu had already dodged when she had thrown herself in front of him to attempt to shield him from the bullet.

But he didn’t need her protection at all.

Her impulsive actions might have just been a burden to him.

She sighed lightly, feeling slightly regretful.

“Xiaxia, do you think I’m very foolish? Mr. Xiaojiu was actually fine; he had dodged the bullet.”

She was so foolish, and she wondered if Mr.

Xiaojiu would look down upon her.

Baili Xia was just thinking that when she would go to her elder brother’s company to work part-time and earn some money later,

She would then return Ning Anran’s medical expenses to Uncle together with her own share.

But when she looked back, she saw Ning Anran’s dejected face.

She was taken aback and instinctively looked at her twice more.

“An Ran, do you…have feelings for Uncle…”

“I don’t! Nothing at all! Xiaxia, don’t overthink!”

Fearing she might misunderstand, Ning Anran vigorously shook her head.

However, the sudden movement caused her wound to ache, and she let out a cry of pain.

“Stop moving around, do you want to die!”

Baili Xia immediately went over to her and gently pressed on her shoulder.

When she finally calmed down, Baili Xia scolded her, “Why are you getting so anxious? Nothing’s been said about you.”

What’s so strange about liking Uncle?

Many girls like him.
