Chapter 227: Today is a Special Day

Jiang Baobao walked to the window and picked up the phone.

"Hello? Xinaijie? Why are you calling so late?" she asked, puzzled, deliberately lowering her voice.

Immediately, she heard Liu Xin'ai ask on the other end of the line: "Baobao, when do you have time to bring your uncle over for a check-up again? This time I might need to draw a little blood; I need to know if there are any other abnormalities in his body. I've already found someone to do the lab work—it's a friend of mine, and not a single word will leak out."

"I was just planning on that!" Jiang Baobao agreed immediately, and thinking of the scene where Lu Qing'er bullied people today, a spark of anger faintly emerged in her eyes.

Following that, she said with some difficulty: "But I'm afraid it won't be possible in the next two days. I have to find a suitable opportunity to get them out."

"About how long will it take?" Liu Xin'ai asked instinctively.

Jiang Baobao hesitated for two seconds before answering: "I'll try my best to be quick... I'll call you in advance when the time comes."

"Alright, then I'll wait for your news," Liu Xin'ai agreed.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Baobao stood by the window, unable to help feeling a bit worried.

After the last time, it certainly wouldn't be that easy to take Grandma and Cheng Hao out this time; the Lu Family might even try to stop it...

If she had known today would be like this, she would have just taken Grandma and Cheng Hao to find Xinaijie directly.

It's just...

As Jiang Baobao thought about this, she suddenly realized something.

Recently... that day was almost here.

Jiang Baobao lit up her phone, opened the calendar, and her gaze locked firmly onto a certain date.

She stared at it for a few seconds, and then, her eyes suddenly lit up!

Got it!

If it's that day, even if the Lu Family wants to obstruct her, they have no reason to!

One week later—

Jiang Baobao stayed at the villa on purpose, and it wasn't until the afternoon that she went out wearing a pure black dress.

The weather outside was a bit gloomy, looking like a storm was brewing, which made one's mood inevitably become a bit heavy.

Jiang Baobao's expression was also quite serious as she drove the car that had just been cleaned, heading straight for the Jiang Family Villa.

Not long after, the car pulled up steadily outside the gate.

Jiang Baobao got out of the car, strode toward the entrance without ceremony, and pressed the doorbell heavily.

A few seconds later, the door opened with a swish from the inside; it was a servant from the villa.

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and, without waiting for the other person to speak, strode directly inside.

"Eh? You..." the servant hurriedly followed, walking into the living room together.

In the living room, Xia Huiya was sitting with Lu Qing'er, seemingly talking about something.

Hearing the commotion at the door, the two turned their heads in unison.

They didn't expect the person who arrived to be Jiang Baobao.

Lu Qing'er's face dropped instantly.

"Jiang Baobao, what are you here for? You aren't welcome here!" She still remembered being humiliated by Jiang Baobao with money last week, and her teeth itched with hatred the moment she saw her.

During this period, Xia Huiya had been feeling unhappy because Lu Qing'er was kicked away by Li Beijue, and her expression at this moment was no better.

"Baobao? What wind blew you here?" Xia Huiya forced a smile and asked sarcastically.

Jiang Baobao couldn't even be bothered with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Where are Grandma and my uncle? I'm taking them out."

"Out? Where are you going?" Xia Huiya's expression tightened instantly.

Then, without waiting for Jiang Baobao to answer, she immediately refused: "Baobao, you know your uncle's current situation; he is simply not suited to go out. If he gets frightened outside, whether he hurts others or himself, it will cause trouble..."

She wore an expression of deep concern for Jiang Chenghao, as if what she had just said came from the bottom of her heart.

"Hmph." Jiang Baobao sneered upon hearing this.

Sure enough... she knew she wouldn't remember what day it was today...

A cold light flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she locked her gaze directly onto Xia Huiya's eyes, asking word by word: "Auntie, have you forgotten what day... today is?"

"Today?" Xia Huiya frowned upon hearing this, thinking carefully for two seconds, but couldn't recall anything.

The coldness in Jiang Baobao's eyes gradually spread, and seeing that she truly didn't know, she kindly "reminded" her: "Today is the anniversary of my parents' death."

Xia Huiya was stunned upon hearing this, and a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed across her face instantly.

She hurriedly explained in a remedial tone: "Oh my, look at my memory, Auntie. There have been so many things going on in the family lately that I actually forgot such an important matter! Usually, every year I would..."

"It doesn't matter if you remember or not," Jiang Baobao interrupted her coldly.

If she really remembered every year, how could she have failed to react just now!

Jiang Baobao couldn't be bothered to say more and urged impatiently: "So I am taking my uncle and Grandma to visit my mom and dad; that's no problem, is it?"

"Jiang Baobao! How are you talking to my mom!" Lu Qing'er was a bit displeased with Jiang Baobao's attitude toward Xia Huiya and suddenly attacked Jiang Baobao.

Upon hearing this, Xia Huiya immediately tugged at Lu Qing'er, signaling her not to speak.

Following that, she heard Jiang Baobao continue: "Where are my uncle and Grandma? Are you going to have someone invite them over, or should I go find them myself? Although Auntie forgot, I take today very seriously."

Xia Huiya had been mocked twice in a row and couldn't keep her face straight for a moment. Unable to think of any reason to refuse, she had to agree: "Alright then, I'll have someone go call them."

As she spoke, she signaled the servant standing to the side to go to the back garden to call them.

Xia Huiya watched the servant walk away, then thought of something and suddenly said with a smile: "Baobao, your uncle's condition is indeed not suitable for staying outside for too long. Although the cemetery is a bit far, fortunately, it is quiet. You stay there for a while, and counting the travel time, you should be back in two or three hours. Make sure not to delay for too long."

Jiang Baobao's eyes flashed with a dark light upon hearing this.

Xia Huiya wants to control the time she takes Grandma and her uncle out?

Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart, instantly having an idea, and replied unhurriedly: "Grandma will definitely be in a bad mood after going to the cemetery. After we finish, I will accompany them for dinner before sending them back. Auntie doesn't need to worry."

Just as she finished speaking, not far away, the servant had already brought the Jiang Grandmother and Jiang Chenghao over.

Seeing Jiang Baobao, the expression on Old Madam Jiang's face was somewhat surprised.

Today, both of them had coincidentally worn black clothing.

What this represented no longer needed to be said.

Jiang Baobao stepped forward two paces and took the initiative to link arms with Old Madam Jiang.

Jiang Chenghao was also exceptionally quiet today, standing obediently by Old Madam Jiang's side.

"Grandmother, let's go."

Jiang Baobao spoke in a low voice, not bothering to say another word to Xia Huiya, and led the two of them directly toward the door.

The smile on Xia Huiya's face also vanished in an instant.

Watching Jiang Baobao head out, she immediately summoned a servant and instructed in a low voice, "Have the people at home follow that car outside closely; report to me at any time wherever they go."
