Gu Baisheng brought some homemade plain congee to Xiao Rong.

Qu Xiaobo accompanied her to the hospital.

On their way there, they inevitably talked about it, "How long do you plan to take care of him? Aren't you afraid that Song Shuang may get jealous?"

Gu Baisheng looked at the lunchbox in her hands and smiled, "Of course, I'm afraid that he'll be jealous."

"Why don't you get rid of this trouble quickly?"

"I will when the time arrives."

Gu Baisheng seemed to have her own plan in her mind.

Qu Xiaobo was a bit confused and said after a short hesitation, "How do you plan to get rid of him?"

"Let him leave the Xiao Family."

Gu Baisheng was honest, "Xiao Rong's father cares nothing about him. It'll be better to live in another place freely than stay in Beicheng forever as the Young Master of the Xiao Family."

"He can't speak or walk properly. What can he do?"

"A lot of things." Gu Baisheng looked out of the bus window and smiled, "There'll be a place for him."

"But have you thought about it? Xiao Rong has no relatives in other cities."

"But his friends can help him."

"Friends?"

Qu Xiaobo was a bit puzzled.

Gu Baisheng asked, "Do you remember Ye?"

Qu Xiaobo recalled her memory, "You mean the boy with a cleft lip who asked us to look for Xiao Rong at that noon?"

"Yes." Gu Baisheng took a breath and looked at the sky gently, "I've checked Gui Town, Ye's hometown."

"You plan to let Xiao Rong leave with Ye and his big sister?" Qu Xiaobo got it.

"Why is it not possible?"

Gu Baisheng explained, "Ye has no other relatives except for his big sister. And his hometown is a mountainous village with only a few villagers. It’s a quiet and isolated place with nice people. Xiao Rong has been living in a metropolis like Beicheng for so long and he must feel so tired. People here fail to make him feel warm. It'll be better for him to live in a smaller place with Ye and his big sister."

"But are they willing to take him with them?"

Qu Xiaobo was a bit worried.

"I've contacted and discussed it with Zhang Tiantian, Ye's big sister. She told me that she was willing to take Xiao Rong with her."

Qu Xiaobo nodded, "It's such a good thing if that's true. We can ask them to take Xiao Rong away."

Gu Baisheng smiled, "Yes, Xiao Rong's life will be much better. He doesn't have to worry about his family members' schemes nor spend his life in that Institute."

"Are you going to talk about it with him today?"

"Yeah." Gu Baisheng nodded, "Before he is discharged from the hospital, we have to get it done. That's the only way that he can break away from his family's control."

"Will the Xiao Family let him go?"

Qu Xiaobo assumed that the Xiao Family probably wouldn't let Xiao Rong leave so easily.

Gu Baisheng said, "The Xiao Family can't wait to see Xiao Rong dead. How could they let him stay in Beicheng?"

"But the one who wishes Xiao Rong dead is Xiao You." Qu Xiaobo reminded Gu Baisheng.

"But as their father, Xiao Chengye turns a blind eye to it. How is it different from wishing Xiao Rong dead?"

"Based on what you said, the Xiao Family would be pleased if Xiao Rong promises to leave Beicheng and disconnect with his family."

"Theoretically speaking, it is true."

Gu Baisheng said, "But there's another possibility."

"What?"

"Xiao You wants to get rid of him forever."

Qu Xiaobo shook her head, "No way. What Xiao You wants is the heirship of the Xiao Family. If Xiao Rong gives up his heirship, Xiao You would leave him alone."

"Probably not." Gu Baisheng didn't think so, "It's physically impossible for Xiao Rong to become the heir of the Xiao Family, but Xiao You still wants to kill him."

Qu Xiaobo moved her lips and sighed, "Yeah, only dead people cannot compete with her."

After saying so, she frowned, "Tell me, is it so cruel to live in a powerful family?"

"Probably not, but it is to live in the Xiao Family."

Gu Baisheng smiled gently.

Qu Xiaobo became curious, "Then how about the Song Family? Is it cruel to live there?"

"It's fine. Song Shuang is the only son of the Song Family, so fighting for the power and property is not possible in this family."

"But I think even if Song Shuang has brothers, no one can beat him when he wants to win."

Qu Xiaobo had faith in Song Shuang.

Gu Baisheng laughed when she heard so, "But Song Shuang has no intention to manage their enterprise."

"That's because of you." Qu Xiaobo answered quickly.

Gu Baisheng looked at her in confusion, "Because of me?"

"It's easier to get closer to you if he works at the same hospital."

Qu Xiaobo laughed at her, "You don't know it?"

"Stop it. After I marry him, we still can bond with each other even if he works for his family business."

"Geographically close but mentally far apart."

Qu Xiaobo remembered when Song Shuang and Gu Baisheng were just married, "I remember when you just married him, and you didn't like him. But when the baby was born, you started to feel close to him."

Gu Baisheng remembered that it was true, so she smiled bitterly, "Yeah."

"So, when Song Shuang decided to work at the same hospital, it indeed helped him to bond with you quickly."

"He could bond with me after we went back home. He had never done so in the hospital."

"Are you sure?"

Qu Xiaobo looked at her curiously.

Gu Baisheng flushed when she was stared at like this.

Indeed, it was easier for Song Shuang to bond with her when they could constantly see each other.

But so what?

Their marriage still fell apart at last.

Gu Baisheng looked down sadly when she recalled her memories.

Qu Xiaobo knew that Gu Baisheng was thinking about the past, so she changed the topic quickly, "We're almost there."

Gu Baisheng looked out of the window.

She could see the landmark building of the Second Hospital.

The bus was getting closer to that stop.

And the tall outpatient building was getting closer.

They got off the bus at the Second Hospital stop.

Gu Baisheng suppressed her emotions triggered by their previous conversation.

Qu Xiaobo was talking with her about Zhang Kai and the investigation against the Xiao Family while walking forward.

"The information provided by the Institute is very limited. They just said that they accidentally arranged bullies to live with Xiao Rong, but they didn't know that those kids were bullies beforehand."

"It's chicanery."

Gu Baisheng commented.

Qu Xiaobo said, "Even if it's chicanery, the police can do nothing with the Xiao Family when the Institute said so."

"That's true."

Gu Baisheng agreed.

Qu Xiaobo sighed, "It's better to let Xiao Rong leave this place as soon as possible."

...

Inside the ward, Xiao Rong became silent after hearing Gu Baisheng's words.

"You want me to leave Beicheng?"

He gestured.

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Yes, it's your best option at this moment."

Xiao Rong shook his head with indifferent eyes, "I don't want to leave."

Qu Xiaobo knew that he refused to leave by his gesture.

She suggested helplessly, "Xiao Rong, we can't expect what your family will do to you if you refuse to leave. And Gu Baisheng can't help you forever. She has her own life and can't spend all her energy on..."

"Enough, Qu Xiaobo."

Gu Baisheng interrupted Qu Xiaobo.

Qu Xiaobo shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "OK, I'll stop. Anyway, you'll make it clear to him that your life is not about helping him out."

"Xiao Rong, Zhang Tiantian, Ye's big sister, has promised me to take you to Gui Town after you're discharged from the hospital. Ye and Tiantian are willing to take you to their hometown. Tiantian is a very nice girl and she promised to take good care of you."

Xiao Rong lifted his eyes and looked at Gu Baisheng bitterly. He gestured, "Do you think I'm trouble to you?"

"No, I've never thought so. I just think that you shouldn't keep getting hurt in Beicheng. Nobody will hurt you if you go to Gui Town."

Qu Xiaobo shook her head helplessly when Gu Baisheng explained to Xiao Rong patiently, "Shengsheng helps you because she's kind. It's not her responsibility, OK?"

"Enough."

Gu Baisheng turned around to stop Qu Xiaobo when she looked at Xiao Rong's eyes become dimmer.

Qu Xiaobo couldn't stand Xiao Rong's uncooperative attitude when Gu Baisheng was so nice to him.

She had to walk out of the ward to not get mad, "Take your time. I need some fresh air."

Gu Baisheng ignored Qu Xiaobo and looked at Xiao Rong, "You said you would trust me."

Xiao Rong nodded.

He indeed acted obediently.

"I can't protect you forever. What I'm trying to do is to find you a way to escape. That is, you go to Gui Town with Ye and his sister."

Xiao Rong gestured sadly, "Are you going with us?"

"I can't."

Xiao Rong shook his head and gestured, "I don't want to live in Gui Town because you're not there."

"I'll visit you when I'm on holiday. Going to Gui Town doesn't mean you can't see me forever."

Gu Baisheng tried to explain to him.

But Xiao Rong was still reluctant.

Gu Baisheng rubbed her eyebrows helplessly and became silent.

When Xiao Rong saw her become silent, he hesitated, pulled at Gu Baisheng's sleeve, and gestured, "Are you mad at me?"

"I don't want you to get hurt again."

"I know you did what was best for me." Xiao Rong gestured.

"Why do you refuse to cooperate if you know so?"

Xiao Rong bit his lip and gestured after gathering all his courage, "I don't want to live in a place without you."

Gu Baisheng froze for a while.

"Your life is not only about me. There should be other people in your life, Xiao Rong."

Xiao Rong shook his head, "You're the only one I want to have in my life."

"That's impossible, Xiao Rong. Please go to Gui Town." Gu Baisheng looked at him with pure kindness.
