"What! You are leaving!" Qin Xiangming imdiately beca unsettled.
He looked at Zhan Lan, "Did your mother really say that?"
Zhan Lan seriously replied, "Isn’t it so? My mother has a strong pride, being turned away by her own father, how embarrassing, how hurtful!"
Qin Xiangming had just t his capable granddaughter, and Qin Shuang was about to leave!
He puffed out his cheeks, snorted coldly, "Hmph, she’s just a heartless little thing, I knew it from the start that your mother never wanted to co back to see !"
He said angrily, "Did I turn her away? Hah, I didn’t even bolt the door, she’s just too proud, saw the door closed, called out a few tis with no response, and just left!"
"It’s been eight years, and she’s still mad at . Tell , who does she take after!"
Qin Xiangming looked at Zhan Lan with a questioning tone.
Zhan Lan twitched her lips, "Grandfather, can I be honest?"
"Speak!" Qin Xiangming angrily picked up a cup to drink water, gulped down a mouthful, found it a bit hot, and put it down again.
"Like you!" Zhan Lan said with a smile.
Qin Xiangming was at a loss for words for a mont, he coughed twice, "If she wants to leave, just let her go, this daughter is not worth keeping!"
"Dad!" The door was suddenly pushed open.
Both turned to see Qin Shuang frowning at the doorway.
Seeing his daughter whom he hadn’t seen in years, Qin Xiangming obviously lacked confidence, he uneasily looked at Zhan Lan, "Lan’er, you see, it was your mother who spoke to first."
Zhan Lan nodded profusely, "Yes, yes."
She had seen Qin Shuang passing by the window and overhearing, so she deliberately said these words to break the years-long cold war between them.
Seeing her father, who still knew how to argue, Qin Shuang knew he was better, and her eyes gradually moistened.
People, the closer they are, the more reckless and willful they are, because love makes them fearless.
Her father, although not willing to admit it verbally, had always been silently collecting information about her, secretly reading the letters she wrote ho.
Just like how he says she can leave as she wishes, but why do his eyes glisten with tears?
She began to regret not breaking in back then, and acting like she did when she was little, throwing tantrums to return ho.
Then she wouldn’t have missed these eight years, her father already has gray hair, and he has aged a lot, how could she co back only now!
Zhan Lan even said she wanted to leave, this girl did it on purpose!
She followed the excuse Zhan Lan gave, "You told to leave, so I’m deliberately not leaving!"
Qin Xiangming snorted coldly, "Stubborn!"
"Isn’t that like you!" Qin Shuang said, tears streaming down as she spoke.
Seeing his daughter cry, Qin Xiangming imdiately said, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? I shouldn’t have turned you away back then."
Grumble...
Suddenly, Qin Xiangming’s stomach rumbled, and he awkwardly said, "I’m hungry, quickly make sothing for your dad to eat!"
Qin Shuang wiped away her tears and went to prepare food, smiling as she stepped out, crying and laughing at the sa ti, her father was okay, truly, he was okay!
The Old Madam had just lain down for a nap when she suddenly heard the excited voice of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wen, "Mother, wake up quickly!"
The Old Madam knew her daughter-in-law’s character, sothing urgent must have happened, so she imdiately sat up, seeing Mrs. Wen speaking excitedly, "Mother, father is awake!"
The Old Madam was overwheld with joy, she got up and straightened her clothes, striding towards the adjacent room.
Mrs. Wen closely followed her mother-in-law, Qin Yan, Qin Mu, Qin Jingshuo, Qin Yizhuo, and Zhao Yan all hurried over upon hearing the old man had woken up.
Especially Zhao Yan, she had just won at mahjong and didn’t want her father-in-law to find out she had been gambling.
The family saw the old man inside the room talking with Zhan Lan and Doctor Xue, the old man was all smiles, completely unlike soone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
"This ti it’s all thanks to Doctor Xue." Qin Xiangming knew he had to keep Imperial Doctor Xue’s identity hidden, so he purposely addressed him as doctor.
They still had to protect Zhan Lan’s identity, after all, they weren’t in Ding’an City.
Imperial Doctor Xue smiled and said, "Mr. Qin’s illness is not serious anymore, Mr. Qin usually practices martial arts, is strong and has a good foundation, he woke up in just a few days, truly beyond my expectations."
Qin Xiangming smiled, hearing his wife’s words about Qin Shuang and Zhan Lan coming back during his coma gave him the strength, like a stone was lifted from his chest, making him feel relieved.
So, in his excitent, he woke up!
After Imperial Doctor Xue left, Qin Xiangming looked disdainfully at his two grandsons.
Facing their grandfather’s intimidating gaze, both grandsons instinctively stepped back, afraid their grandfather would train them again.
Qin Xiangming withdrew his stern expression, lovingly looking at Zhan Lan, his smile deepening, "Girl, soday you juniors should spar a bit."
Qin Yizhuo looked at his grandfather in surprise, exclaiming, "Cousin knows martial arts!"
Qin Xiangming suddenly realized he misspoke, his original intention was for Zhan Lan to see if her two cousins could join the army!
Both were grown n, neither wanting to marry, both wanting to leave Xiaoshan City.
Qin Xiangming glanced at Qin Yizhuo coldly, "Forget it, you two brats are too rough, don’t hurt my granddaughter!"
Qin Yizhuo laughed, "How could we, cousinn is so delicate, we’d love and protect her, never hurt her!"
Qin Jingshuo listened to his second brother’s boastful words, but remained silent.
Their cousin was anything but a delicate lady; she was Zhan Huang, who fought her way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Dayu’s God of War!
Zhan Lan could probably defeat soone like Qin Yizhuo with a single punch!
Zhao’s wife warmly took Qin Yizhuo’s hand and looked at Zhan Lan, "An Shu, your cousin is the closest to you; could you ask your father to find a job for your cousin in Ding’an City?"
The family fell silent, for Zhao’s wife really could say and do such a thing!
Zhao Yan didn’t know Zhan Lan’s identity, thinking her rightful na was An Shu, her pet na Lan’er.
Zhan Lan looked at Zhao, "Young Aunt, my father is just an ordinary person, just happens to have so silver at ho, doesn’t know any influential people."
Zhao Yan’s eyes lit up instantly, even if his father was a rchant with not much status, he had silver!
With silver, what couldn’t be done.
She said sweetly, "That’s fine, maybe cousin can help look out for a suitable marriage match for your cousin, surely the girls in Ding’an City are as beautiful as Lan’er!"
She called her Lan’er, purposely closing the distance.
"Mother!" Qin Yizhuo felt a bit embarrassed, his mother always taking advantage was quite shaful.
"Mother, I don’t want to marry, no need to trouble cousin and Uncle."
Qin Xiangming looked at Zhao Yan coldly, Old Madam also lowered her eyes without speaking.
Qin Mu awkwardly said, "Lan’er, you don’t need to worry about this; a man should find his own way!"
Zhan Lan smiled and nodded, "Understood, Young Uncle."
As they were talking, suddenly, soone ca in from outside, shouting naturally before entering, "Old Qin!"
