Shi Qian really did not expect Fu Jinghua, who was over fifty years old, to do such a thing in front of so many people!
“I understand your feelings for me. As I get older, there will always be some pain. It’s normal. I don’t lack people to take care of me. Don’t worry.” Old Master comforted Fu Jinghua instead.
How could he not tell that Fu Jinghua was acting in front of these people so that outsiders would know that they were on good terms?
If word got out, it would be much more convenient for him to do things in the capital.
Old Master Fu’s mentality was to behave himself and not cause trouble. He could turn a blind eye to it. However, Fu Jinghua was clearly not like before and became more and more ambitious.
“Uncle, there are people taking care of you, but they’re all outsiders like nannies. Sister-in-law doesn’t live in the old residence and you don’t even have anyone close to you. Why don’t we let Xueqi move to the old residence to accompany you?”
Shi Qian could hear Fu Jinghua’s plan clearly from so far away.
Fu Xueqi also walked up to Old Master and called out obediently, “Grandpa.”
“Uncle, Xueqi has been demure and sensible since she was young. She’s also a girl and is meticulous. If she stays by your side, she can be considered someone familiar who can accompany you.” Fu Jinghua continued to promote his daughter.
“There’s no need. How can young people stand it? They have their own lives.” Old Master still refused politely.
Fu Jinghua threw his daughter over. He spoke as if she would take care of him. Who knew what he was really thinking of.
“Grandpa, my studies are over. I haven’t found a suitable job yet. I happen to have time. It’s my blessing to be able to take care of Grandpa. Why wouldn’t I be able to take it?”
“Yes, yes, Uncle.”
Fu Jinghua and Fu Xueqi cooperated perfectly.
“Jinghua, how did you educate your child? She’s already so old, but she doesn’t have a proper job? Did she study for nothing?” Old Master suddenly questioned.
Fu Jinghua and Fu Xueqi were stunned. Their minds seemed to have short-circuited and they could not keep up.
“I… It’s not that I don’t have a job. I just want to plan my career well.” Fu Xueqi quickly corrected herself.
“I’m old, so I can’t delay your career planning.” Old Master dismissed the father and daughter.
“Old Master has Qian Qian by his side. How can you say that there’s no one to take care of him? Jinghua, you don’t have to worry about this,” Wen Lan said slowly.
Fu Xueqi’s expression changed. “Auntie, can Shi Qian compare to me? Who is she? I’m related to Grandpa by blood!”
Old Master’s face darkened and he slammed his chopsticks on the table.
“How dare you compare yourself to Qian Qian! Qian Qian is only in her third year of university this year, but she already has her own career. What do you have?” Old Master looked at Fu Xueqi.
Fu Xueqi was almost frightened to tears by the serious Old Master.
“In the future, don’t mention blood relations. We’re already getting distant after your generation,” Old Master said coldly.
Fu Jinghua also looked nervous and quickly came to smooth things over. “Uncle, Xueqi doesn’t want to show off anything. She just feels close to you and treats you like her biological grandfather. She doesn’t mean anything else.” “It’s best if she doesn’t. I like peace and quiet. I find it annoying when there are too many people around me. If you really want to be filial, think about what I once taught you about how to be a respectful person, how to handle things, and how to educate your juniors!” Old Master also lectured Fu Jinghua..
