Bai Hua was upset. “Oh? Why has this been kept from me? Why does everyone else in the family know about it except for me?”

“It's not like that. Prior to this, Erbao wasn't careful with what she ate and ended up with food poisoning. But now, she's all recovered.” Ning Ran tried her best to salvage the situation.

“No wonder she looks a little pale. It's poison, isn't it? In that case, she should be treated at once to prevent any side effects from it. Given how young she is, it would be terrible if she has to suffer from any of them!” Bai Hua pretended to be filled with sorrow.

“Thank you, Mrs. Nan, for your concern, but Erbao is fine,” Ning Ran responded awkwardly.

She was unwilling to entertain Bai Hua because she couldn't feel any sincerity from the latter. To her, Bai Hua was feigning concern.

As an exceptional actress herself, Ning Ran could easily tell when someone was pretending to care.

As Feng Wan emerged, Erbao exclaimed excitedly, “Great-grandma!”

She was clearly closer to Feng Wan than Bai Hua.

Even though children were less aware of what was going on, they could sense who truly loved them.

“Good girl. You look amazing today!” Feng Wan complimented with a smile.

“It's a must to look pretty whenever I come to visit you.” Erbao giggled.

“Oh, You've such a sweet mouth!” Feng Wan laughed in return.

“Grandma, let me know if there's anything I can assist with.”
