Chapter 85 - Grandpa and Grandma
Chapter 85: Grandpa and Grandma
Old Lady Fang was already a bit confused, except for listening to old man Fang occasionally.
Her whole body was glued to Qin Yiyi.
Previously, she didn’t see Qin Yiyi standing there motionlessly. Now, she was holding her hand and not letting go.
“Yiyi, Grandma will bring you home. Grandma will steam flower cakes for you to eat…”
The old lady’s mouth kept muttering as she was about to leave.
However, Fang Yingxue’s expression was very unsightly. “Mom, What’s wrong with you? Why do you have to go to this girl’s place instead of staying in a nice hotel? Her shabby place is so small that you can even touch her bed while sitting in the living room. Where will you stay? Will you sleep on the floor?” In the end, she babbled on. The old lady did not even look at her, infuriating Fang Yingxue even more. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she turned her head. “Dad, you don’t care about mom either?!”
Seriously, the older you get, the more troublesome it gets!
Old Master Fang looked at his daughter in front of him and felt a chill in his heart.
“Xiaoxue, let’s not talk about where your mom and I will live first. What’s going on with Yiyi? Didn’t you tell us that she’s fine and that she has a good relationship with you guys?”
“She’s fine. Look, she’s not missing anything, and I even sent her to the best school. If this is not considered fine, how can she be fine?”
Fang Yingxue looked at her father righteously. “Dad, do you care about my mother or not? Look at what’s going on here. I took the time to come pick you guys up, and now you’re treating me like this? I’m your daughter! If people find out that you’re here but don’t come stay with me, how am I going to face people if word gets out?”
“Alright, you can go.”
Old Master Fang had originally wanted to properly communicate with his daughter and ask what was going on.
In the end..
He shook his head and waved his hand at Fang Yingxue, “Your mother doesn’t have many years left to live. Moreover, she was the one who wanted to meet Yiyi this time. Since Yiyi isn’t staying with you and your mother isn’t willing to go to your place, then we’ll go to Yiyi’s place.”
“But her place is so small. How are you and my mother going to stay there?”
She knew that her parents would cause a ruckus when they came.
Look, she had obviously booked a good hotel, but they had to go and squeeze in with this wretched girl.
They were deliberately not giving her face, right?
She glared at Qin Yiyi. “Tell your grandmother that you have no place for her to stay…”
Qin Yiyi couldn’t be bothered to look at her. She helped Grandma Fang and walked over.
The old lady and the young lady leaned their heads against each other. It was unknown what they were talking about, but it made the old lady giggle.
Amidst the laughter was Qin Yiyi’s crisp and gentle voice.
“Grandma, tell me what you want to eat. When we get home, I’ll cook with you. We can eat whatever we want, Okay?”
“Okay… eat the candy one by one…”
The old lady fished for a long time in her pocket and then took out a piece of chocolate that was slightly deformed.
It was probably because she kept it in her pocket.
It melted because of the heat.
The chocolate and the wrapping paper were stuck together.
The old lady’s hands trembled as she peeled it off bit by bit. Qin Yiyi wanted to help but was rejected by the old lady.
In the end, she stuffed some of the melted chocolate into Qin Yiyi’s mouth while muttering, “This is sweet. We all like it the most. Yiyi, be good. It won’t hurt after you eat it…”
Qin Yiyi’s mouth was instantly filled with a bitter taste.
Looking down, she gently bit her lower lip.
When she was young, she was very sick. She would take medicine and injections from time to time. As a child, she would cry her heart out every time she had an injection.
The old lady would always use sugar to coax her.
Her favorite saying was, “Be good, sugar is sweet. It won’t hurt after you eat it…”
She didn’t expect that the old lady would forget most of the things around her, but still remember her candy and the words she used to coax her when she was young!
In the taxi, Qin Yiyi accompanied the nagging old lady as they talked.
She was very patient.
Sitting in the front seat, Old Master Fang turned his head to look at them from time to time, his heart filled with relief.
Yiyi… she had grown up.
She knew how to love and take care of others!
The car stopped. Qin Yiyi paid for the car through Wechat and helped the two old people back home.
The residential area was very good. The environment was excellent.
Old Master Fang didn’t think much of it. After all, the Qin family really didn’t lack money.
Even if they wanted to buy a small apartment, they had to find a good place!
However, when he entered the house and saw that there were several hundred square meters of apartments upstairs and downstairs, his eyes flashed.
“Yiyi, didn’t your mother say that the place you live in doesn’t have any empty rooms?”
How could he not see this? Even if there were ten more people, they could all live in it!
Qin Yiyi helped Grandma Fang, who was playing with a Rubik’s Cube on the sofa, pour a cup of flower tea.
“Grandma, drink some tea first. I’ll play with you later.”
“Okay, Yiyi, play with Grandma…”
Old Lady Fang really listened to Qin Yiyi’s words. She followed her almost word by word.
She did what she told her to do!
Qin Yiyi knew that the two elders would come here in advance, although she wasn’t sure if they would stay at her place.
However, Qin Yiyi still prepared the room in advance.
The bedsheets and blankets were all new.
She also bought some vegetables beforehand, all of which were the favorite dishes of the old couple in her memory.
She turned on the TV and let the old lady watch the animation. Qin Yiyi glanced at old man Fang, who was drinking tea at the side.
“Grandpa, I’ll cook a bowl of noodles for you. Let’s eat something delicious tonight, shall we?”
“Do you know how to cook? Alright, you talk to your grandmother. I’ll go cook.”
Old Master Fang was somewhat disgusted with Qin Yiyi’s cooking. In his memories, this granddaughter of his was good at everything except cooking!
The kind that he couldn’t teach no matter how hard he tried.
After burning N number of pots in the house, he directly gave up on the idea of letting Qin Yiyi into the kitchen!
Old Master Fang was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but he was pushed back by Qin Yiyi.
“Grandpa, don’t look at me like I’m useless, okay? I don’t know if we should look at each other differently after not seeing each other for such a long time.”
“Look after Grandma. I’ll be done in a moment.”
Old Master Fang chuckled. “Okay, then Grandpa will wait for you.”
Looking at Qin Yiyi’s back as she walked into the kitchen, Old Master Fang’s eyes darkened.
Everything looked fine.
But the relationship between the mother and daughter was really..
Something wasn’t right.
He sighed inwardly. This child, why didn’t she have any parental affinity since she was young?!
Just as he was thinking, Old Lady Fang raised her head,
Eh, Why is my granddaughter gone?!
Her face was filled with panic. “Yiyi, Yiyi is gone. Yiyi is gone again. Yiyi is gone, Yiyi…”
“Old lady, stop shouting. Yiyi is here. She is cooking for us right now.”
How could Old Lady Fang listen to them? Her whole body was anxious.
In this moment of anxiety, she loved to spin in circles.
She rubbed her hands together and spun faster and faster. Her mouth was still muttering, and she was about to cry.
“Yiyi… grandma can’t find Yiyi, Yiyi…”
Qin Yiyi was putting noodles into the pot when she heard the commotion outside. Her hand slipped.
She threw the noodles a little too quickly and a few drops of boiling water splashed onto the back of her hand.
Instantly, a patch of red appeared.
However, she couldn’t be bothered to look and ran out.
“Grandma, Grandma, I’m here. Yiyi is here…”
“Yiyi! Yiyi, Grandma couldn’t find you just now. Were you taken away by the bad guys again?”
“Yiyi, I’m not afraid. Grandma will beat the bad guys. They don’t want Yiyi, Grandma wants you.”
The old lady directly hugged Qin Yiyi.
She probably wanted to hug her like when she was young, but she couldn’t move her arms.
She tilted her head and looked up and down. Suddenly, she pushed Qin Yiyi away.
“Who are you? Where is Yiyi? Where did you take Yiyi? Give me back Yiyi…”
“Old Granny, this is Yiyi. Yiyi has grown up. Don’t hurt Yiyi!”
Old Master Fang quickly walked over, wanting to help old Granny Fang to the side. Unfortunately, Old Granny held onto Qin Yiyi’s arm with both hands.
“Where did you take my Yiyi? Give her back to me!”
“Old Granny, you’ll hurt Yiyi!”
Qin Yiyi shook her head at her grandfather, her voice becoming softer and softer.
“Grandma, Grandma, wake up. Look at me. I’m Yiyi. I’m Grandma’s Yiyi.”
There was a gentle hypnotic tone in her voice.
After a while, the old woman slowly calmed down. She looked at Qin Yiyi with a pair of old eyes that were a little chaotic and smiled happily at her.
“Yiyi has come to pick up Grandma. You child, I already said that you don’t need to pick her up. Your grandfather and I can find the way.”
Qin Yiyi smiled and nodded.
“That’s right. My grandma is the most capable. Nothing can be difficult for my grandma.”
“That’s right. Grandma is amazing. Grandma’s Yiyi is also amazing.”
The old lady held Qin Yiyi’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.
In the kitchen, Old Master Fang put the cooked noodles into a bowl. The sounds from the living room outside drifted into his ears from time to time.
Gradually, Old Master Fang’s eyes turned red!
After the meal, the old lady watched television for a while after Qin Yiyi comforted her. In the end, Qin Yiyi helped her back to her bedroom to sleep.
She returned to the living room and looked at Old Master Fang, who was sitting there with an indifferent expression. She pursed her lower lips.
“Grandpa.”
In her previous life, she had also thought that her grandfather was just an ordinary little old man.
However, it was because Fang Yingxue had married Mr. Qin, who was in dire straits at that time, that she had the wealth and honor of the Fang family.
Of course, it was not right to say that the Fang family was rich and honorable.
When Fang Yingxue had married into the Qin family, she was actually the only one who had riches and honor.
Even her unreliable uncle had been working alone outside for many years before he somehow managed to get together with Fang Yingxue!
But later, she didn’t know until her grandfather passed away that this grandfather of hers wasn’t just an ordinary citizen.
He was actually…
However, Qin Yiyi didn’t intend to ask the old master anything,
if the old master wanted to talk about the past, he would naturally choose to talk to her.
If he wanted to forget, wouldn’t her asking this make things difficult for the old master?
“Come and sit.”
Old Master Fang glanced at Qin Yiyi and reached out to pour her a cup of tea. However, he looked at her for a long time and didn’t say anything.
In the end, Qin Yiyi smiled and opened her mouth.
“Grandpa, are you trying to ask what’s going on between me and my mother?”
“You and your parents…”
Old Man Fang was halfway through his sentence when he shook his head and looked at her suddenly, “Forget it, Grandpa won’t ask. You’ve grown up. You’re not like the little girl who used to only cry and shout after me. As long as you think things through, it’s fine.” Even though he said this, old Master Fang still felt sorry for the little girl he had brought up. He gently advised, “Don’t think too much. People in this world aren’t so perfect.”
“Some people lack money, and some people spend their whole lives being bedridden. As for you…”
“Aren’t there still me and your grandmother?”
“But what Grandpa wants to tell you is that no matter what decision you make, you just have to think it through and don’t regret it in the future.”
The old man’s eyes, which had been through a lot, were full of wisdom.
“Your grandmother and I will support you no matter what you do.”
“Thank you, grandpa.”
Qin Yi had never intended to tell the old man about her relationship with the Qin family in case the old man got angry.
Moreover, she had to say that Old Master Fang’s words made her heart rise and fall.
Touched!
Only a true family member would think for her like this, right?
No matter what you do, no matter what you think, once you have thought it through, you will do it!
What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll be there with you!
Her nose turned sour and she almost cried. “Thank you, grandpa.”
In her previous life, she had been taken over by the Qin family. Due to her physical condition and personality, as well as the mother Fang Yingxue who had been a thorn in her side, she had actually only met the old man a moment before the old man passed away.
It was also at that moment that she knew that her grandmother had passed away long ago, and her grandfather was actually not an ordinary old man…
But what was the use of knowing all this?
In the end, she did not protect what her grandfather told her to protect, and she did not live up to her grandfather’s wish to live a peaceful life until old age!
It was her own stupidity…
Qin Yiyi quickly turned her head away, afraid that old master Fang would see her cry!
Old Master Fang did not feel good either. How could a perfectly fine mother and daughter have fallen to such a state?
“This time, it was your grandmother who kept talking about you. Then, the doctor suggested that we come to the big city for a comprehensive check-up…”
Old Master Fang changed the topic. “You’ve seen your grandmother like this. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you…”
After a pause, he added, “If you think it’s inconvenient for your grandmother to stay here, I’ll find a hotel near the hospital later.”
When Old Master Fang said this, his tone was calm.
He really thought so, and he was prepared to do the same if Qin Yiyi showed even the slightest bit of unwillingness.
There was nothing to complain about.
Even his own daughter had a look of disdain on her face. She would rather let them stay in a hotel than bring them back to the Qin family.
Let alone his granddaughter, who was living alone away from her family?
Qin Yiyi’s eyes widened. “Why do you want to stay in a hotel? Is there something wrong with the room that I arranged? Grandpa, you tell me, and I’ll go and change it right now. Is it because Grandma isn’t familiar with the situation at home? If you don’t like staying on the first floor, we can change it right now. If you don’t like staying on the first floor, there are rooms on the second floor. However, the room on the first floor has big windows and good lighting. You can even see the lawn outside through the window…”
Following Qin Yiyi’s narration, although Old Master Fang said that he didn’t care about these things, he still felt gratified.
“Your grandmother and I don’t dislike anything. It’s just that grandfather is afraid of disturbing you and causing trouble for you.”
“When I was young, I also caused trouble all day long. Grandfather and grandmother didn’t dislike it either.”
Qin Yiyi interrupted Old Master Fang’s words with a grin.
“I’m living here alone and there’s no one around. Grandpa and Grandma are here and it’s very lively.”
After a pause, she suddenly looked at Grandfather Fang with a serious expression.
“Oh right, Grandpa, you and Grandma can stay here from now on. Can you stay with me?”
The loneliness in the little girl’s eyes and the desire to be careful made Grandfather Fang’s rejection, which had rolled to the edge of his mouth, automatically turn into a single word.
“Okay.”
“I knew Grandpa was the best.”
Qin Yiyi’s face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling. There was no trace of loneliness or sadness from before.
How could Old Master Fang not know that he had been coaxed by this girl?
He glared at her in anger and amusement.
“You even dared to lie to your grandpa, right?” However, he knew in his heart that this girl still wanted someone by her side, right?
The two of them chatted for a while longer, and Qin Yiyi urged Old Master Fang, “Grandfather, you must be tired from the journey. Hurry up and rest. I’ll call to make an appointment later. We’ll find the best specialists and hospitals to treat Grandma.”
Actually, Qin Yiyi felt that she could cure Old Lady Fang with a few doses of medicine and acupuncture.
However, she didn’t have the title of a ‘doctor’.
Therefore, after thinking about it in her heart, she decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up first.
“Okay, then I’ll go and rest for a while.”
Along the way, she had to keep an eye on Old Lady Fang. She really didn’t dare to make a mistake with her eyes.
She was afraid that she would lose her if she made a mistake.
With Alzheimer’s disease, how many people would be lost and forget their family members?
They couldn’t find them even if they wanted to.
Now that they were at his granddaughter’s house, although they felt that Qin Yiyi’s relationship with her parents was extremely bad, they also felt sorry for her.
But at least they saw that their granddaughter was doing well and was healthy.
Her complexion looked fine too.
When the old man let out a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but reveal some tiredness.
“Your grandmother’s illness isn’t something that can be cured in a day or two. If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. There’s no need to rush.”
Qin Yiyi sent the old man back to his room while she ran back to the living room to play Landlords.
However, she lost one game after another.
In the end, she simply quit and pulled out her Wechat to send a message to Lu Jinwan.
“Wan Wan, my grandparents are here. They’re staying at my house.”
Then, she attached a picture of a happy little person.
Then, regardless of whether Lu Jinwan replied or not, she slid down to Shang Jingheng’s portrait.
“Brother Shang, my grandparents are here. Haha, they are staying with me. They said they will stay with me in the future.”
“Brother Shang, are you here? I’m so happy.”
On the other side, Shang Jingheng was in a meeting. A beep sounded from his Wechat message.
He calmly lowered his head and looked at the little figure that was still spinning in circles on Wechat with her hands on her waist and laughing loudly. Qin Yiyi’s eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and her face was filled with joy as she chirped happily. He could not help but feel a little regretful. Unfortunately, he could not see the little girl’s happy face at this moment!
In the next moment, he felt a little jealous.
He was actually not the one who made the little girl so happy.
But, forget it, it was fine as long as the little girl was happy!
He gently typed with his fingers and clicked send.
“Tomorrow, I will finish my business here. When I go back, I will treat Grandpa and Grandma to a meal.”
Qin Yiyi replied with an affirmation without thinking. Then, she sat on the sofa and giggled for a while before she finally realized and sighed.
She raised her hand and patted her forehead.
it was her grandparents. Why did she let Shang Jingheng treat them to a meal?
Also, why did Brother Shang also call them ‘grandparents’?
This person must have been too busy!
She grinned and sat on the sofa giggling. In the end, she buried her face in the sofa and cried with a face full of tears!
