Han Kuang was hospitalized due to illness.
When Shen Chi returned and heard this news, he imdiately showed displeasure and said irritably, "Why does he have to fall ill at this ti?"
Shen Chi had never liked Han Kuang. A while ago, he had complained that their relationship was cursed and that Han Kuang was too old yet wouldn’t die, hindering his own promotion to Admiral despite his qualifications. She knew the words he spoke then were simply impulsive, heartless comnts born from frustration, as both his grandpa and grandma had passed away consecutively, and Han Kuang, the father he disliked, was still living well.
And this ti, his tone suggested he was truly annoyed.
"You can say this at ho, but don’t act like this at the hospital. It would be bad if you upset him." Lin Xiaoguai gently advised.
"I know, I know." Shen Chi felt indescribably irritable.
His ti at the Military Departnt hadn’t been easy either. Although he anticipated awkwardness due to his unchanging rank of Lieutenant General despite sufficient rit, his work beca suddenly unpleasant. The looks he received from superiors and subordinates were either strange or sympathetic...
He had to admit, things had been too smooth for him over the ears, and now even slight grievances could affect his mood.
After dinner, the three families went together to visit Han Kuang at the hospital.
"I’m actually fine, I don’t need to stay in the hospital." Han Kuang lay on the bed, looking sowhat haggard, but still insisted, "Nuonuo is getting married in a week, what am I doing in the hospital?"
Over the years, Han Kuang’s temper had llowed a lot. He no longer constantly tried to assert his dignity as a father in front of Shen Chi, seemingly having accepted the situation. Also, Lin Xiaoguai had to admit, although he always struggled to show affection for his children, he genuinely cared for his grandchildren. Now that his children no longer needed his financial support, half of his pension was spent on his grandchildren.
"Your mind seems clear enough, so how could you have let yourself catch a cold?" Shen Chi comnted coolly.
Han Kuang wasn’t annoyed, "My fault, it won’t happen again."
In dealing with his youngest son, he didn’t insist anymore, generally not contradicting whatever he said. As for the sarcasm and mockery, he chose to ignore them.
—It was evident that he had the ntal fortitude of soone who had spent a lifeti on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Shen Chi lost interest in taunting him further and sat aside with a scoff.
"No need Dad, just rest in the hospital. As long as you can be discharged before Nuonuo’s wedding, it’s fine. Don’t rush, you need to fully recover, otherwise you’ll look unwell at the wedding and people might think you’re unhappy." Truthfully, Shen Chi’s feelings for Han Kuang weren’t as deep as Zheng Cuicui’s, who was practically raised by Han Kuang.
Although Han Kuang had disappointed her at tis, he had never hurt her intentionally and harbored a caring heart for her.
"Alright, I’ll make sure to be discharged before Nuonuo’s wedding." Han Kuang said sowhat excitedly.
Being the first granddaughter to get married, he naturally placed great importance on it.
The day before the wedding, Lin Xiaoguai went early to the gift shop, overseeing the staff as they loaded the fruit wine destined for the Han Family old house onto the truck.
"Are you sure nothing is missing?"
"Nothing’s missing. Don’t worry boss, I’ve checked twice, not a single bottle is missing."
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "Then you carry on, I’m headed for the airport now."
—Almost forgot to ntion, Han Xinyu’s wedding was sowhat rushed, catching Shen Yinian off guard, and it was quite a scramble to make it back in ti for the wedding.
By the ti Lin Xiaoguai picked up her eldest son and t up with Shen Chi, it was almost nine o’clock.
"Mom, hurry up, I want to see the bride," Gu Yijing urged impatiently.
"What’s the rush? We’ll make it in ti."
Though the wedding was hastily arranged, it wasn’t sloppy. Yu Shaoqiu might only be the sole child from the second branch of the Yu Family, but his father was the most successful amongst three brothers, and his mother’s family had a respectable status. Han Xinyu needs no introduction, being the eldest granddaughter of the Han Family, her grandfather was an Admiral, and she had a father who was a Major General and an uncle who was a Lieutenant General. Their statuses were all higher than Yu Shaoqiu’s. It can be said that the two families made the wedding as grand as possible.
"I feel old," Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but lant after watching the newlyweds toast and leave.
"If you’re old, then what am I, an old hag?" Han Shouzhen sardonically rolled her eyes at her.
She paused, then added, "But I really envy your sister-in-law. Ping’an doesn’t even let know when I can hold a grandchild."
Speaking of which, she glared at Xu Ji sitting beside her.
Xu Ji, thick-skinned and unbothered, was unfazed, but He Xiaoxiao, who had co with him, blushed.
"Little Niangao, when are you bringing a girlfriend ho for auntie to see?" Han Shouzhen, having gotten nowhere with her son, quickly turned her attention to Shen Yinian.
Shen Yinian, who was drinking soup, choked on hearing this, and while coughing, pointed to himself and said, "?"
"Yeah, you’re twenty-one now, right? Finding a girlfriend now, dating for a few years, and then you could naturally get married when you’re of age, wouldn’t that be great?" Han Shouzhen’s face lit up as she spoke.
"I’m not in a rush." Shen Yinian glanced mischievously at Xu Ji, "Brother Ping’an isn’t married yet, so as his younger brother, I shouldn’t rush ahead, right?"
Xu Ji’s face imdiately darkened.
"Look at you, even though you’re the older brother, you don’t set a good example for your younger brother. Now see, not only have you delayed my chance to hold a grandchild, you’ve even held back your aunt..." Han Shouzhen, seizing the opportunity, began to berate her son.
She couldn’t vent her dissatisfaction on He Xiaoxiao, so she unleashed it all on her son. (To be continued.
