    Bai Jingru quickly pressed the bedside button to call the doctor.

    The doctor has finished auscultation and examination. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter. Let me continue to observe.

    They could only communicate with overly technical terms such as “delayed drowning” and “pulmonary edema” with the help of translation software. Bai Tong could tell that some people would suffer respiratory failure or even death due to delayed lung damage within 24 hours after drowning. Bai Jingru was worried about this.

    After the doctor left, Bai Tong asked Bai Jingru, “Mom, what are you doing this morning?”

    “There are some things to deal with.” Bai Jingru replied simply.

    That’s it.

    Although he was obviously worried about himself, he could not show up all morning.Anyway, it has always been like this, when she was needed 99 times out of 100, she was not there.

    Bai Tong said, “Mom, yesterday I was swimming in the sea by myself, holding my breath and playing, but I was blocked by a paddle board and couldn’t get up. It’s that simple.”

    She means that there is no need to pursue accountability or prosecute.

    Bai Jingru asked, “Why are you holding your breath?”

    Bai Tong said, “It’s fun.”

    Bai Jingru’s expression clearly showed that she didn’t understand what was so fun about it.

    She squeezed Bai Tong’s hand tightly and said, “You can’t do this again.”

    Bai Tong was really pinched and coughed and said, “I’m sorry, Mom.”

    It’s a bit of a sellout this time.

    Bai Jingruo didn’t say anything else, she just kept looking at Bai Tong, which made Bai Tong’s heart tremble.

    On the third day, Bai Tong can be discharged from the hospital and return to China after lying down.

    In the morning, Bai Jingru did not disappear like before, but stayed with her here.

    Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the nurse opened the door. Bai Tong saw the person outside the door, whom she knew. It was Bai Jingru’s friend who invested in Ta Island.

    This person’s name is very special, Yunshan. Bai Tong has met her several times in China and even had dinner with her.Her personality is a bit cold, and she does look like spruce in winter when touched.

    Yunshan came over. Instead of bringing flowers and gifts as she usually does when visiting patients, she brought a large bag of information. She first greeted Bai Tong, and then said to Bai Jingru, “Almost all reservations at Corail Blanc Resort within three months have been cancelled. If we push the public opinion further, maybe when our hotel opens soon, we will lose one of our biggest competitors.”

    She took out the plan and gave it to Bai Jingru and said, “This is a critical period. Have you considered additional investment?”

    Bai Jingru looked at her lightly, took it and put it down, saying, “I’m not in the mood now, let’s talk about it after we return home.”

    “Jing, I know you may still be hesitant, but you have also seen what Corail Blanc’s entire service and safety management are like. They are not worthy of their status in Ta Island. Fortunately, Baitong did not have an accident this time and gave us a chance.”

    Bai Jingru seemed a little confused and said, “Bai Tong is my daughter, can you understand?”

    “I understand.” Actually, I don’t quite understand. Is there nothing wrong with Bai Tong not being well now? In the past, she and Bai Jingru were in business discussions, so they were so polite. But since Bai Jingru decided to quit working and go home to take care of her children, she seems to have become a little different.

    Yunshan turned to ask, “Bai Tong will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, right? Have you made arrangements for your return trip?”

    Bai Jingru said, “The flight will take place the day after tomorrow.”

    “I’ll drive you, and you can come to me anytime if you need it.” Yunshan said, “I have no other intentions. I am anxious to finalize the investment because there are other people who are also eyeing this project. If we are preempted, we will be very passive. Of course, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you.”

    Bai Jingru looked at her and said, “I want to ask you.”

    “Say.” Yunshan thought she was going to ask about hotel investment.

    “You found some of the local TV media, but what about the ones on the Internet?” Bai Jingru asked.

    Yunshan was shocked. This was an overseas island where he was unfamiliar, and Bai Jingru was too well-informed. He said honestly, “Local TV stations are regular partners. As for the Internet, I’m not crazy enough to sell Bai Tong’s privacy.”

    She added, “Jing, please don’t doubt me, okay?”

    Bai Jingru nodded and said, “I believe you. I’m too tired these days. You should go back first.”

    Although Yunshan was unwilling, he could only leave the information and leave.

    Based on the videos he had watched, Bai Tong thought that his mother might have suspected that Yun Shan had leaked the information online in order to add fuel to the fire of negative news about his competitors.

    However, Bai Tong felt that it didn’t matter, and showing his face online might not have any real impact. Anyway, everyone became popular for three minutes, and the whole thing was forgotten in a few days.

    Bai Tong asked Bai Jingru, “You just doubt Aunt Yun, right?”

    Bai Jingru replied, “Of course. The hotel project can’t be pushed forward because she’s too anxious, but she shouldn’t put her idea on your head.”

    Bai Tong asked again, “Don’t you still suspect that someone put the paddle board there intentionally?”

    Bai Jingru said, “I have to ask you this. First of all, why are you holding your breath?”

    Bai Tong replied again, “It’s fun.”

    After she told the truth, the mother and daughter became increasingly incoherent and fell silent.

    There was nothing else to do next. Bai Jingru just contacted the security company to stand guard at the door of the ward and sent them to the airport in advance the next night.

    Bai Tong looked at the battle. The car he was sitting in was sandwiched between the vehicles escorting them from the front and back. It was like a sandwich biscuit. It might make passers-by think that someone was chasing them.However, this is just Bai Jingru’s habit, so be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.

    Boarding the plane went smoothly. We flew to the transit country first, stayed there for a few hours, and then boarded the return flight. It took us a total of more than 20 hours before we finally returned to our luxurious duplex home with little golden little leopards flying around.

    Someone has come to take care of the two kittens these days, and the house is as clean and fresh as when they left it more than a week ago.

    However, when Bai Tong held the kitten and sniffed it for a few times, she didn’t know whether it was because of the kitten smell or the kitten hair. In short, she felt a little tight in her chest and coughed twice.

    Bai Jingru looked over with some worry, and Bai Tong quickly held back the cough that followed, his face turned red from holding it in, and he let the kitten go.

    After the patience passed, the two of them went to take a shower and rest.

    I slept at home the next day, suffering from jet lag, and didn’t go to school until the third day.

    Bai Tong has already tried it. The videos that the nurse aunt showed her that day cannot be searched on domestic browsers and similar software. It seems that nothing like that happened at all.

    Since she couldn’t find it, she deleted the software again and didn’t pay much attention to it.

    At school, her classmates saw that she had not been here for a few days and asked her why she was there. She followed the official statement and said, “There is something going on at home.”

    When someone asked what was going on, it wasn’t that Bai Tong didn’t want to pay attention to them, it was mainly because she didn’t know what to say, so she just repeated, “Anyway, something happened.”

    Then the classmates dispersed, and Bai Tong still sat in her seat listening to lectures, doing homework, and going to and from school.

    Two days later, I saw my car at the door after school.

    The driver opened the back door of the car, and Bai Jingru bent her hands inside to say hello to Bai Tong.

    So Bai Tong walked over and got in the car and asked Bai Jingru, “Why did you come to pick me up today?”

    “Tongtong, we are moving back to Jingyuan today. Some of the things in your room have been moved intact, and there are others. Can you confirm which ones need to be moved and which ones should not be moved?” Bai Jingru handed the tablet to Bai Tong, which showed a VR panoramic view of her room.

    Jingyuan is a villa area. Bai Tong lived there when he was a child. He only moved to Yilan Garden after middle school.

    Bai Tong took it and asked, “Why do you want to move?”

    “Don’t you always say that the crystal chandelier at home is ugly? Let’s move out for a while and redecorate it.” Bai Jingru said.

    “It’s just a lamp. Just dismantle it and reinstall it, right?” Bai Tong asked.

    “You said the stairs are ugly too.”

    “…”

    Bai Tong said, “I didn’t want to climb the stairs and wanted to move to the flat floor, not from 2 floors to 2 basements + 3 floors.”

    Bai Jingru smiled and said, “The villa has an elevator.”

    Bai Tong thought for a moment and decided to let it go. Anyway, he could live wherever he wanted, and all the assets belonged to his mother. He was only part of her mother’s assets, so he could move wherever he liked.

    They had not returned to Jingyuan for many years, so they got off the bus early and entered the house through the garden.

    Bai Tong saw some workers replanting flowers. Fresh soil and dry flower branches were piled on both sides. The air smelled of freshly cut grass.

    Walking to the courtyard, there were many people standing there, including my mother’s personal assistant, housekeeping aunt, driver, security guard, etc. They were waiting to greet Bai Jingru and Bai Tong, and then went back to their respective posts.

    From two people to a huge crowd.

    Bai Tong still lives on the second floor. She first went back to the bedroom she lived in when she was a child. The space and furniture that once seemed so large now seem to have shrunk. It has only been a few years.

    The moving company decorated this room like Yilan’s bedroom, so it looks new and old at the same time, with the memories and smells of the present and past mixed together.

    Bai Tong walked to the terrace of the room. The vegetation, tables and chairs outside had been replaced with new ones, but the door was locked and he could not get out.

    Bai Tong looked around and found nothing to organize, so she climbed the stairs to the third floor.

    The old villa did not have a fresh air system, so every door and window had been open for ventilation. It must have been for several days, but there was still a bit of musty smell and heavy moisture in the air. Bai Tong felt uncomfortable again. She thought that the moisture might be emanating from her own lungs.

    The doors were open, and every room could be seen clearly, so Bai Tong did not go in one by one, but went directly to the storage room.

    There were large cabinets covering the entire wall. She had liked to come here since she was a child. She once hid behind one of the cabinet doors. Even though she came out to eat and go to the bathroom, no one outside could find her after searching for a whole day.

    At that time, her plan was to stay in there until her mother came and found her.

    There were two drawers underneath the cabinet. When Bai Tong opened it, the things she had put in them when she was a child were still there.

    Bai Tong looked at it and picked up a greeting card with childish cartoons drawn on the front and words cut from a newspaper on the back:

    “Mom” “is” “the sea”

    Bai Tong couldn’t remember why his mother was Dahai. Maybe it was because those words in the newspaper were more suitable.

    She stayed in the closet until the next day, but no one came to see her, not her mother, not her nanny.

    In fact, everyone was afraid of taking responsibility, so no one dared to tell Bai Jingru. They were just searching everywhere by themselves. The villa was brightly lit all night, and the pool had been salvaged.

    That night, one of the nannies on duty when Bai Tong disappeared stole something and ran away overnight. The situation became increasingly chaotic, and someone had to report Bai Jingru. By this time, Bai Tong had already come out of the cabinet on his own.

    Bai Jingru was very busy. She didn’t have time to deal with such a small matter. She just replaced a few people and installed surveillance on the entire building. She didn’t even come back, and the matter passed like this.
