Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 975 - 977: What Are You Hiding from Me?
"Hey, Qinghe, my dear brother, we could let the two kids get engaged first, to at least have a formal agreement." Du Chang, fearful that his future granddaughter-in-law might slip away, took the opportunity to speak eagerly. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
Xu Qinghe had drunk quite a bit, but he was becoming more alert. He quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle Du, letโs let the two kids get to know each other first. Iโve heard that Yicheng has a dad, right?"
Xu Qinghe was an honest man, but that didnโt mean he was foolish. Over the past two years of dealing with the Du Family, he hadnโt seen Pei Yichengโs father once, even though Nianhua and Yicheng had been seeing each other for almost a year. This absence made him feel unsatisfied.
In his heart, his daughter was the best and most wonderful. If Pei Yichengโs father didnโt like her, he wasnโt willing to let his daughter marry out.
If it werenโt for the fact that Pei Yicheng treated his daughter well, and furthermore, helped the Xu Family, the most important reason being that his daughter liked him, Xu Qinghe wouldnโt be able to suppress his idea of kicking Pei Yicheng out.
"My dad has been urging me to bring Nianhua home."
Pei Yicheng, at this moment, certainly couldnโt hinder his grandfather Du Chang. If it werenโt for Xu Nianhua being in school, he would have taken her to get the marriage certificate right away.
"Look, Nianhua is so outstanding. My son-in-law must be blind to dislike her!" Du Chang, upon hearing Pei Yichengโs words, was immediately delighted and explained to Xu Qinghe, "My son-in-law is busy."
Du Chang meant to say that Pei Guozhong had a large business that in the future could provide some support to the young couple.
Who knew, before he could finish speaking, Xu Qinghe said, "Uncle Du, you tell me, no matter how busy he is, can he not care about his sonโs life-long event?"
Du Chang: "..."
Xu Qinghe successfully stalled this topic, even with Pei Yichengโs reassurance, but Xu Qinghe stuck to his one argument: Nianhua is still in school, let them spend more time together.
Night fell, the sky was dark outside, and the road was long, so Du Chang and the others were left to rest at the house. The Xu Family had built a new house with plenty of rooms. Pei Yicheng and Ling Dong slept in a guest room on the second floor, and Du Chang slept in a guest room downstairs.
"Yicheng, what you said earlierโwas it true?" Xu Nianhua stealthily asked while making the bed.
"Itโs true."
Pei Yicheng thought about it and said, "Yining told me he wanted to meet you, but since you came home, I didnโt mention it to you. Maybe we could meet after the New Year?"
"But doesnโt he dislike me?" Xu Nianhua raised an eyebrow.
"How could my Nianhua not be liked?" Pei Yicheng was worried Xu Nianhua might misunderstand, so he said, "My relationship with him isnโt great. What Uncle said today is correct; if he doesnโt make an appearance, it might seem like heโs ashamed to meet you. Donโt worry, heโll definitely see how good you are."
Xu Nianhua beamed a smile, scanning Pei Yichengโs face, she asked, "Yicheng, are you hiding something from me?"
Xu Nianhua folded her arms across her chest. She knew Pei Yichengโs father previously didnโt like her. Even after she saved Yining once, his attitude was clear; he was grateful for her life-saving act, but nothing more.
His father suddenly changed his attitude, so something unknown must have happened.
"Maybe, he thought it through after being ill?" Pei Yicheng said uncertainly, seeing Xu Nianhuaโs inquisitive stance, he explained, "Just a few days ago, he suddenly had high blood pressure, nearly had a stroke. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and is still in the hospital recovering."
"Was it just two days before we came back?"
