Chapter 476 Grandfather-granddaughter's evil sche
An Yueqin warmly smiled. She took out her glasses and patted her head. "How did you recognize ?"
Chyou was proud. "Grandma is very pretty! Grandpa said he can also know it's you from anywhere! Because Grandma is beautiful like Mama!"
She coughed.
Is that why he could recognize outside Grandeur that day even though I wore a scarf?
"That…" she tried to smile, "I am not your Grandma. Your Grandpa is misunderstanding things."
Chyou pouted. "How can you not my Grandma? You and Mama are sa. Pretty and sparkling! And and very kind!"
She smiled. "What about Grandpa?"
Chyou pursed her lips. "Grandpa is good and plays with sotis. But…"
She narrowed her eyes. "But?"
Chyou lowered her head. "Grandpa is busy now a lot. Mama is with Dada and I am alone at ho. Grandpa not play anymore with Chyou…" tears threatened to fill her eyes.
An Yueqin froze. "W-What do you an? Guo-...I an your Grandpa doesn't take care of you?"
"Grandpa…busy…" she tugged her dress and widened her watery eyes. "Am I a bad girl?"
"Of course not! Chyou is the best! It's your Grandpa who is bad!" She gritted her teeth.
That man…what is he thinking by leaving her alone!?
"Then…then will Pretty Aunty play with ?" Chyou hopefully asked.
An Yueqin was in a dilemma. No doubt she wanted to help Chyou but her current situation wasn't ideal.
Chyou's shoulders drooped. "Pretty Aunty does not want to play with too…"
"No, no! I will play with you!" She quickly said. "B-But we cannot let your Grandpa or Mama know about this, okay?"
Chyou brightened. "Okay!"
"Let's see…how about we play in the park after school?"
That way she could drop her to the school gate after their playti is over and An Guoting or Caihong wouldn't co to know.
She sparkled. "Play!"
An Yueqin nodded.
Chyou hugged her and mumbled. "Pretty Aunty, why are you not my Grandma?"
She stiffened.
"If you are my Grandma, then we can play everyday! Then Chyou won't be alone."
She felt as if sobody squeezed her heart. She bent on her knee and brushed her palm along her head. "You can…you can treat as your Grandma. I will do everything that I can do for you."
Chyou bead. "Then can I call you Grandma?"
She hesitated. "...Sure."
She took out a small bag wrapped with a cute ribbon. It had five chocolates in it. "Here. I brought this for you."
Chyou was over the moon. "Thank you Grandma!"
An Yueqin blinked.
Grandma…
It felt so warm and fluffy in her chest that she had an urge to cry.
"En."
—
Just after An Yueqin left, Chyou ran inside and went to the staffroom. "Teacher, I wanna call Grandpa!"
The teacher was concerned. "Is there any problem dear? Is anybody bullying you?"
She was, after all, the daughter of the wealthy Zhu Xiaosi and her grandfather was An Guoting. It would be a ss if Chyou was in any trouble.
"No. Nobody bullying . I want to talk to Grandpa. Very important!"
"Are you sick?"
"No."
She was relieved. "Alright then."
The teacher dialed An Guoting's number and handed her the receiver. Chyou blinked at her. "Teacher, it's a super secret talk! You cannot hear!"
She laughed. "So cute. Alright, alright, I will leave."
Chyou nodded.
An Guoting's voice ca, "Hello?"
"Grandpa!" She still whispered as a precaution. "I am Chyou!"
"Chyou dear! What happened? Is anybody bullying you? Who should Grandpa punish? Tell ?"
Chyou's mouth twitched.
"Nobody bullying ! Grandma ca to school!"
"...What!?"
"En!"
She told everything that had happened.
"My dear granddaughter, you are the best! You did it perfectly! She fell for your acting. I am so proud of you!"
Chyou rubbed the tip of her nose, feeling shy.
"This ans…this proves that she rembers everything! She just isn't confessing it!" His voice was trembling from the other end.
Chyou frowned. "Why will Grandma lie? Mama say it's bad to lie."
An Guoting sighed. "Indeed. It's a bad thing to lie. But adults…sotis are in a difficult situation. They cannot tell the truth."
She gasped. "It's like the villain in movies! The villain troubles the hero and the hero has to lie to protect the world!"
He chuckled. "Yeah sothing like that."
"Then Grandma will not say the truth?"
"Not so quickly. But if you keep doing what you are, then she will definitely slip out the truth one day. You just have to keep telling her how I am a terrible grandfather."
Chyou was saddened. "I don't want to lie. Grandpa is the best! Grandpa loves a lot!"
"Aishh…"
An Guoting felt an arrow shoot straight through his heart.
My Chyou is so precious, he sniffled.
"Why Grandpa is crying?" She pouted.
"Because you are my dearest granddaughter."
She felt shy.
"Grandma gave chocolates too!"
"Oohhh! Haha, she totally fell for it! Good, good. She said she would take you to the park after school, right?"
"En."
"So let's see…you usually wait for ten to fifteen minutes for the driver to pick you up. Then I won't send the driver at all, hahaha! Let's force her into dropping you ho herself."
Chyou giggled. "Grandpa, you sound evil."
"Really? Maybe I can get a villain's role in a movie," he touched his chin.
"I won't do it suddenly. I will keep on increasing the ti. First, I will be twenty minutes late, then thirty and then slowly make it an hour. She won't beco suspicious then. Then your Grandma won't have any choice but to take you ho herself."
Chyou nodded in anticipation.
"You have to keep acting pitiful, okay? That your Grandpa is slowly forgetting about you and doesn't care about you."
"En! I will do my best!"
"Yes, yes! If Grandma confesses it one day and we win, Grandpa will give you a big treat!"
Chyou's excitent skyrocketed to the next level. "Treat, treat!"
"Yes. We will finally…enjoy as a complete family," he slightly choked as tears rimd in his eyes.
"Will Dada be there too?"
He paused for a mont. "Of course! Xiaosi will be totally awake by then! Everybody ans everybody! That brat has slept for long enough now. It's ti he wakes up."

In the hospital amidst the pin drop silence in the ward, a certain hand ever so slightly moved. He gasped as his eyelashes fluttered.
Gradually, softly, gently... Xiaosi opened his eyes.
