My Little Sweet Wife-Chapter 710 - Going Home V
Chapter 710 - Going Home V
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Ruolan said in the elevator that the Old Man hadn't been in a good mood lately, probably because he felt he was dying. "Guiying, actually, you're also a knot in the Old Man's heart."
She had said all she could say, but Xian Guiying understood that they were actually hoping for her to accompany the Old Man more, to let him think it through and not let him die with the grievance in his heart. Everyone hoped that he could live a few more years, or perhaps even longer.
Xian Guiying didn't say anything. Qin Gengxin put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace.
"Guiying?" When they arrived at the ward door, Zhan An held a kettle of water in her hand. When she saw them, she looked at them in surprise, then looked at Qin Gengxin, who was standing next to her daughter.
It was as if she suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Her daughter has been married for a while, and this son-in-law had just brought her daughter back to see them.
Zhan An calmly looked at them and said, "Why is he here?"
"Mom." Xian Guiying knew that although Zhan An had a good temper, she was still dissatisfied with Qin Gengxin's attitude towards her over the last few years, as well as his indifference towards the Xian Family.
Zhan An immediately understood the silent words in her daughter's eyes. Qin Gengxin also looked at her with a polite and respectful expression as he called out, "Mom."
Sighing, she said, "I don't care what has happened between you and Guiying in the past few years. Since you two have settled your differences now, don't bring up this matter in front of the Old Man. If he scolds you, just listen quietly and don't talk back."
"Don't worry, I brought Guiying back to visit her grandfather with filial piety. I didn't feel any displeasure at all. Guiying was also very calm." Qin Gengxin's usual sloppy manner was slightly restrained. His manner of speaking towards Zhan An was very proper and polite.
Zhan An nodded. "Let's talk about it later. Jian and I will go back. Let's focus on the Old Man now. Go inside."
Xian Zihao immediately noticed Jiang Ruolan's quietness and walked towards her. He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just that Qin Gengxin hasn't brought Guiying back to our family for years, so how could mom feel comfortable with that? But because she saw the bigger picture, she didn't say much, but she was still angry about it."
Xian Zihao nodded slightly and patted her shoulder. "Don't come in now. Let Guiying and the others stay in the ward to talk."
"Hmm."
"It's very hot today. Are you thirsty? I'll go buy some water. "
"No need." Jiang Ruolan smiled happily as she reached out to stop him. "Don't worry about me. You have been busy recently with the company matters and the Old Man's illness. Yijun hasn't come back from his business trip, and all the important matters are on your shoulder alone. I feel sorry for you; just sit for a while, I'll go buy it."
Xian Zihao smiled and held her hand. "I'm fine."
In the ward, Old Man Xian had just finished taking his medicine and was lying on the bed without moving. He had indeed lost a lot of weight.
Xian Guiying walked to the bedside and was about to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
She had kept this knot in her heart ever since she was young. But now, looking at her grandfather like this, she suddenly found that she couldn't hold a grudge anymore.
"Dad, Guiying is back." Zhan An put the kettle aside and said softly.
Old Man Xian slowly opened his eyes and looked towards their direction with a misty gaze. Xian Guiying felt a little uncomfortable, and when she saw the Old Man slowly raised his hand, she quickly went to his side.
"Guiying." The Old Man's eyes were half-open as he looked at her. "You're back …"
"Grandfather." Xian Guiying smiled. "I'm back. I won't be mad at you again. Take care of your health, okay?"
Old Man Xian chuckled. "Before you came, there were quite a few people who told you not to provoke me with your words. You must coax me, right? No need, little girl. Grandpa is fine … It's normal for old people to get sick. It shows that we are human, right? If they're alive, they become old. If they're old, they will die."
Xian Guiying held his hand tightly, unable to speak.
Zhan An glanced at them and walked away. At the same time, she patted Qin Gengxin on the shoulder, indicating that he should follow her.
Qin Gengxin nodded and turned to greet the Old Man in a soft voice. As the Old Man looked at him, his expression became even mistier, but he said nothing. When Qin Gengxin followed Zhan An out of the ward, Old Man Xian seemed to remember something and sighed.
"Grandfather." Xian Guiying said softly. "Before returning home, I checked your body condition on the internet. No matter how much money you have, how good the hospital, or how many doctors you meet, there is only a 50% chance. More importantly, you must get out of bed and walk around. These three months are a critical period. If you don't get out of bed, you won't be able to move anymore. Grandfather, there's hope for recovery."
"Hehe, how could I possibly recover? At the very most, I shouldn't be so paralyzed." The Old Man let out a long sigh. His words were unclear, but because it was very quiet in the ward, Xian Guiying could understand what he meant.
Afterward, Old Man Xian slightly raised his hand, indicating that Xian Guiying should help him sit up. Xian Guiying pressed the bed control with one hand, while her other hand helped support the Old Man's body. She only released the controller when the height of the bed was right for the Old Man to lean on.
"Have you brought the child back? I haven't seen Qianqian yet." The Old Man continued to hold her hand, not letting go. "Where's the child? She didn't come back with you?"
Seeing the Old Man was in such a difficult situation, yet he still insisted on chatting with her, Xian Guiying smiled patiently. "I've brought her back. She's at the Xian Residence. If you want to see her, I'll bring her here tomorrow."
"Forget it, I heard the child's body isn't very good. Her resistance is very weak, so she shouldn't come to a place like a hospital that has a lot of germs." As the Old Man spoke, he sighed. "To think about it, even though I, Xian Tingfeng, have done a lot of good deeds in my life, I have also done a lot of wrongs. If not, I wouldn't have to wait for two years to see Zihao's children, and I will see your child grow with my eyes. The children will be playing in my laps."
"This is something that I have sown." Old Man Xian closed his eyes and sighed non-stop.
