The elderly lady remained quiet, feeling heartened.
"Old Madam, we'll get going now," said Madam Xu, poking her head in through the crack.
"Alright."
An Xiaoning and the elderly lady saw them out of the door. After some consideration, An Xiaoning decided to get into the Xu family's car and stared at Xu Baizhi solemnly inside the car.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Baizhi asked.
An Xiaoning lowered her voice and said, "My mentor only has a few days left to live. She initially had half a year more to go, but her lifespan has shortened because of you. I'm not trying to blame you, I simply hope you won't let my mentor's efforts go in vain. Please bear my words in mind."
"You mean Old Madam is about to…?" said a dumbfounded Xu Baizhi.
An Xiaoning continued, "I'll be staying behind to accompany my mentor for the next few days. Go home and get your life sorted out."
