665: Chapter 664 Dreams Must Be Held 665: Chapter 664 Dreams Must Be Held Shao Xingde and Lu Pengcheng both rushed back from out of town to visit Shao Chengzhi, one after the other.
In the hospital ward, with Shao Xingbang’s joking around, there was laughter and chatter, and no one looked worried or furrowed in the slightest.
Seeing them like this, Shao Chengzhi imdiately felt his mood lighten as well.
He truly did not wish for his illness to cause his children to feel repressed and upset.
In this life, birth, aging, sickness, and death are normal, he had lived to this age, what was there left to not accept?
Later, Lu Pengcheng found so ti to have a chat alone with Lin Xia.
He had already learned from his son about the incident that had transpired when he went over to help Luo Yue with her breastfeeding.
Each ti he thought about it afterward, he felt endlessly guilty.
“Lin Xia, your aunt and the others didn’t make things difficult for Luo Yue afterward, did they?”
“No, my aunt found out and was dissuaded by Brother Hongli on the sa day!
She didn’t bring it up again after that, probably because she thought it through!”
At the ti, Lin Xia had been really concerned for a while, but Lin Aijia and the others hadn’t ntioned the incident once Luo Yue was out of her confinent period.
She speculated that soone must have talked so sense into them.
Lu Pengcheng’s hanging heart was finally able to settle, but he couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “It’s all my fault!”
All of this had started because of him!
If he hadn’t been so insistent on seeing his grandchild on a whim, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Had Luo Yue, because of her exposure, failed to recover properly after childbirth and beco ill as a result, he really would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
He also queried himself as to when he would stop creating trouble and inconvenience for others.
Facing her father-in-law’s long sighs, what could Lin Xia say?
All she could do was reassure him, “Dad, don’t bla yourself too much!
Sooner or later, things that are hidden will co out.
Not everything can be kept secret forever!”
“True as that may be, had I not appeared so frequently, your aunt and the others would not have grown suspicious!”
Lu Pengcheng then beca concerned about Lin Xia and Lu Zheng’s marital life.
When he heard that they were living well, a flicker of emotion passed over Lu Pengcheng’s eyes, and he told Lin Xia, “… Don’t take to heart what Lu Zheng’s grandmother said!
You just need to live your own good life!”
About the matter of having children, no matter how anxious he was inside and despite having urged his son over the phone, he didn’t wish to put pressure on Lin Xia.
It was unexpected that his mother, while visiting the hospital, could also seize the opportunity to press for grandchildren.
Lin Xia imdiately understood that Lu Pengcheng must have heard from Shao irou about Fang Youlan coming to the hospital and talking about the urgency of having children.
“Dad, don’t worry!
We will definitely make our life good!”
Just as Shao Chengzhi was showing signs of improvent, he quickly urged Lu Zheng, “You go back to work right away, and get busy with your own things!
Don’t let my situation delay your work.
I’m tough!”
“Rest assured, I won’t go with the Grim Reaper until I’ve seen your uncle married and have t my great-grandsons and great-granddaughters!”
He now had only these two wishes unfulfilled, and he was determined to hang on and achieve them before he closed his eyes for the last ti…
“Grandpa, it’s okay!
I’ll ask for a few more days off to spend ti with you!” After this ordeal, Lu Zheng felt deeply moved and wanted to adjust his work and life balance to spend more ti with Shao Chengzhi.
He understood the heavy burdens and responsibilities he carried at work.
But he was also the younger generation, and seeing his beloved grandfather fall ill while he was never by his side filled his heart with guilt.
Shao Chengzhi’s eyes bulged, “It doesn’t matter?
Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes!
Do you think I’m so senile that I’m oblivious to what’s going on in your unit?
“Hovering around all day long, do you even want to get promoted?”
His greatest pride was that his grandson, whom he had doted on since childhood, hadn’t turned out wrong and was not arrogant and domineering like the other children from big courtyards.
After joining work, he had always relied on himself to climb up step by step.
At such a critical mont, how could he bear to let Lu Zheng miss out on his future prospects because of his own affairs?
Lu Zheng’s lips ford a tight line; in fact, whether he got promoted or not, he really didn’t care.
If he didn’t get promoted this ti, there would be other opportunities in the future.
But he only had one grandfather, and if he didn’t spend ti with him now to show filial piety, with how swiftly things change in the world, he feared he might never get another chance.
“Grandpa!
It really won’t delay anything!
I want to stay with you for a few more days!”
Shao Chengzhi softened his tone, “Xiaozheng, I know what’s in your heart, you really don’t have to worry about !
If your mother hadn’t called you back, I wouldn’t want you to know at all!
“What’s the point of tossing and turning in this cold weather?
But now that you’ve all co back, I’m really happy in my heart!
“If you’re really worried, how about this: you head back first and then have Lin Xia stay behind for a while to spend ti with your mother and …”
In the end, Lu Zheng couldn’t argue with Shao Chengzhi and reluctantly agreed to his suggestion.
Before leaving, Lu Zheng drove Lin Xia to Lin Dong’s school.
The reward he had prepared for his brother-in-law for getting into university had still not been delivered to the young man’s hands.
Lin Dong ran out of the dormitory building, bundled up warmly, yet his cheeks showed that he had beco thinner compared to when school had just started.
Seeing Lin Xia and Lu Zheng standing by the car, his excitent was beyond words.
He had never expected that his brother-in-law would co with his sister to visit him!
He hurried over in just a few quick steps, grinning broadly, “Sister!
Brother-in-law!
What brings you here?”
“Ca back for sothing!
Just wanted to drop by to see you!” The mont Lu Zheng saw him, he sized up Lin Dong appreciatively, “Dongzi!
You’ve grown a lot taller!
You’ve turned into a young man!”
The last ti he saw Lin Dong was during his wedding with Lin Xia.
Almost a year had slipped by, and to him, Lin Dong had truly changed a lot.
Pleased as punch, Lin Dong shook his head and bobbed around, “That’s right!
Brother-in-law!
You know what they say, one can still shoot up at twenty-three!
Maybe I’ll catch up to your tall fra in no ti!”
He idolized his brother-in-law, wishing to emulate him in every way!
Lu Zheng coughed lightly to hide his burgeoning laughter, “Right!
You should eat more at and eggs to get the right nutrition, and regularly exercise to build your physical stamina!
Maybe you’ll catch up to !”
Lin Xia couldn’t help laughing as she listened, her brother was really boastful to the extre.
There were no tall people in their family, yet he dread of reaching Lu Zheng’s height!
“Right!
Dreams are important, in case they co true!”
Lin Dong narrowed his eyes and asked, “Sister!
Why do I feel like there’s sothing off about your statent?
Is it a complint or a criticism?”
Lin Xia laughed heartily, playfully tugging at his woolen hat, “A complint, of course!
How have your studies and life been going recently?
Why do you look thinner?
Not eating well?
Or too tired?”
