Chapter 80 Bea’s Going To Get Married
After recovering from the violent coughs, Kevin said, '' Can you apply for leave these two days... To visit
Luojiazhen? Your grandfather is in the old house, and Marie''s mom might also be going there..."
’Grandpa?" Bianca was surprised.
''Didn''t Grandpa go to Japan with Dad’s sister? When did hee back?''
Kevin held his daughter''s hand because he was worried that she would get angry. He coughed and told
her everything weakly. After he told her everything, the doctor came in just in time.
The doctor was there to do the daily monitoring and examination.
"Dad, I have to go first," Bianca said.
Kevin nodded.
She was lost in her thoughts as she tried to digest what her dad told her about Grandpa. She walked
out of the hospital.
In the ward, Kevin stretched one arm over to let the doctor draw his blood while his other picked up his
ringing cell phone.
"Hello, this is Kevin." Kevin was focused on the needle sticking into his arm and did not see who was
calling before he picked up.
Allison’s voice sounded as if she had not drunk water in days. "What''s your daughter''s name?"
’Why are you asking?" Kevin''s tone changed.
When she asked about that, Kevin got mad when he realized the rude person on the line was Allison!
When the child was growing up, she who was the mother had never asked what the child''s name was!
"Stop the nonsense and just tell me!" Allison yelled like a madwoman.
"Bianca Rayne. Her first name is Bianca, meaning white because I wanted my daughter to grow up
pure, white, and clean, unlike you! You dirty and filthy woman!" After Kevin scolded her, he gasped for
a few seconds to regain his breath. "Go ahead, tell me what you''re nning this time?!’
At the Crawford Manor.
The phone in Allison''s hand slipped from her hand because her fingers had suddenly be weak.
The phone fell onto the ground.
''Bianca.''
Kevin said that his daughter’s name was Bianca.
Was all of this part of Bianca''s n to take revenge against her mother?
''Was her visit premeditated?''
Allisonughed mockingly. ''Bianca, you’re just 24 years old, but it seems that your pure face isn''t how
you are inside! It seems that you''ve yed US both!’ 4
Luke only got up in the morning when he received a call from Bianca.
"I''m sorry, I promised to go over and make breakfast for you guys, but it seems like I''m caught in a bit
of a hurry. I won’t be able to make it. Can you tell Lanie and Rainie for me?" After Bianca said that, she
hung up the phone.
The head of the design department had not arrived at the office yet, so Bianca had to make a call about
her leave.
She thought about Grandpa who she had not seen for more than five years. Her hands trembled as her
tears flowed out without warning. An old man in his 70s and in poor health was living alone in a small
town.
Grandpa had raised her since she was a baby.
Grandpa was the closest person to her, even more so than her dad.
On the way back to the rental house, she made several phone calls in the taxi to apply for her leave.
She told her head of department the reason as well as made sure her team leader, Sue, knew about it
too. Lastly, she told Nina that she would not be back that night and that she would be away for a few
days.
When Luke tried to call Bianca, her line was busy.
Bianca bought a high-speed rail ticket on her mobile phone and chose the express ticket.
She quickly packed up a few clothes and daily necessities before going out in a hurry.
A few years ago, her aunt took Grandpa to stay with her because he did not want to stay with his son. It
was because it was hard to get along with Jennifer, his daughter-inw. The old man was worried that if
he lived with a daughter-inw like her, he might not be able to live a long life.
However, her aunt who was in a good marriage was suddenly abandoned by her husband and had to
leave Japan.
The old man who was being taken care of by his son-inw suddenly had nowhere to go. The son-in-
law did onest thing for him and got someone to send the old man back to China.
Bianca was a little mad at her dad about this matter.
''Why should Grandpa live in the old broken house in the small town? How bad is it that you can''t
trouble Jennifer and Marie to take Grandpa to A City to live with us?
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
She embarked on the high-speed rail back to Luojiazhen in a hurry.
The train station was sketchy and had a lot of thieves. Bianca had to make sure she was attentively
protecting her little luggage.
After she got into the coach safely, Bianca took out her notebook and started working. She put her
earphones on so that she was not distracted by the outside noises.
After she got busy for a while, she suddenly felt hungry. She took out a sandwich from her bag that she
had prepared beforehand.
She got on the train at 9:20 o''clock and finally arrived in Luojiazhen at 11 o''clock. After she packed her
stuff up, Bianca took her luggage andputer bag before leaving the station.
The station had not changed much. When she tried to recall, she could still remember her
surroundings. It made her feel nostalgic.
As she looked at the small town where she was born and raised, somehow, the tears welled up in her
eyes.
"Taxi! Five bucks per person!" The dark-skinned uncle hollered at the people leaving the station.
Bianca got into a taxi.
There were four people in the taxi and each of them paid five yuan.
In ten minutes, Bianca arrived at the entrance of the old house.
The two-story building was very dpidated.
Bianca took a deep breath, stepped on the weeds growing from the cracks between the old bricks on
the ground, and dragged her luggage in.
She pushed open the iron gate and saw the red-bricked front yard. The weeds in the yard were not
very high, and there were traces of them having been cut. As she continued inside, a cloud of choking
smoke filled her nostrils.
As she walked into the house, she saw Grandpa’s hunched back.
The old man coughed non-stop, and his old eyes were red from the smokeing out of the stove pit.
His tears flowed down his cheeks. There was a bowl of rice and a bowl of leftover vegetables in the
ck pot.
It seemed that the leftover bowl of vegetables had been reheated a lot of times because there was
barely any oil left in the vegetable soup.
Bianca walked over. The sticks in the stove pit were crackling from the fire. She quickly reached out
and hugged Grandpa. She cried, "Grandpa..."
With a fire stick in his skinny hand, the old man raised his head and nced at Bianca.
"You are..."
"Grandpa, don''t you recognize me? It’s me, Bea."
Bianca wiped her tears like a little child and took out a piece of tissue from her bag. She carefully wiped
Grandpa''s dirty face as she cried andined. "Why didn''t you contact me when you came back? If
Dad can’t travel, you still have me, your granddaughter..."
"Bea? Is it really you? Your dad told me that you''re going to get married. I didn’t want to be a drag and
trouble your husband’s family." The old man was thinking of his granddaughter. His old eyes stared at
his granddaughter as he reached out to stroke her head. ''Ah, my little granddaughter is still a good kid.''
Since he could not see clearly, the old man did not recognize his granddaughter who had grown a lot.
"You’re not a drag and it won''t be any trouble." At that time, someone’s deep and powerful voice came
from the door.
Bianca thought she had hallucinated the voice. She turned her head that was soaked with tears.
The man looked as if he had fallen from the sky. As she followed the direction of the light, she also saw
a ck Range Rover parked outside the door.
She was too hurt about her grandpa and did not notice the noise of other cars.
Big cars usually drove from day to night in the town, so she got used to the noise.
The man in the suit and leather shoes stepped forward through the old and dpidated door frame.
Since the door frames in small towns were built low, his unusually tall height was always particrly
eye-catching wherever he went.
When both of their eyes met, Luke''s dark and deep eyes looked serene. It was a type of sereneness
that contained a sense of anger. He seemed to be angry at her foring here alone and not letting
him be the first one to know about her troubles.
