1574 Visiting Grandpa Again
Feng Yuanlin waited for Shuyan to reply to his question, but who would have thought that she would only spit out the word, “Guess?” before hanging up. Feng Yuanlin choked and wanted to vomit blood as he reluctantly hung up.
On the other side, Chi Shuyan took a taxi to the military hospital to see the old man. After getting into the car, Chi Shuyan took out her phone and scrolled through her Moments. Not long after, Brother Feng unblocked her.
She clicked into Brother Feng’s Moments and saw several suggestive posts. Not only were there messages, there were also photos. The photos were of her, Brother Feng and Jing Hengran eating together.
Although Brother Feng didn’t take photos of Jing Hengran directly, not only did he take photos of his bowl and chopsticks, he deliberately placed them next to her to create a suggestive image. He also solemnly replied to the comments by saying that he would upload new photos of his ‘brother-in-law’ next time.
If she wasn’t involved, she would have believed Brother Feng’s words.
Chi Shuyan had to admit that Brother Feng really had talent.
Why did he join the police station instead of becoming a paparazzi reporter?
Chi Shuyan looked at Brother Feng’s Moments in admiration, then sent him a private message, telling him to delete the post as soon as possible so that no one would misunderstand.
After sending the message, she had just put her newly bought phone into her pocket, when Fan Yin sent a flood of messages.
“Expert, have you returned to the capital?
“Expert, when are you coming back to the capital?
“Expert, I’m not busy, I’m free anytime. When you come back to the capital. I’ll have a car pick you up!”
Chi Shuyan thought that Fan Yin already knew earlier on that she had returned to the capital, but hadn’t contacted her because he had something on. Who would have thought that he didn’t know that she had already returned to the capital a few days ago? In addition, she had been communicating with her teacher these past few days, so she had forgotten about him.
Chi Shuyan was a bit apologetic and immediately replied, “I’m back in the capital. I’m free tomorrow at noon. Shall we meet at the same place as last time?”
Less than a second after she sent the message, the other party immediately sent three messages: “I’m free, Expert!
“Okay!
“That’s great!”
On the way, Chi Shuyan sent messages back and forth with Fan Yin. Apart from the fact that he addressed her as “Expert” every time, she chatted pretty cheerfully with him.
It wasn’t long before she arrived at the hospital. Since she had confirmed the time and place, Chi Shuyan replied that she would see him tomorrow. Only then did the other party stop; he seemed to be in a very good mood.
At that moment, the taxi stopped in front of the hospital. Chi Shuyan swiped WeChat and paid before getting out. After getting out of the car, she realized that she had come empty-handed, so she simply went to a nearby fruit shop to buy a lot of fruits before bringing them with her into the hospital.
She took the elevator to the old man’s ward. It was just that she hadn’t come at the right time. When she walked toward the old man’s ward with the fruits, she saw Father Qi and Qi Zhenbai facing off in front of the ward. Compared with Qi Zhenbai’s silence and indifference, Father Qi seemed to be cursing with a cold face.
Chi Shuyan vaguely heard the words “ungrateful,” “cold-blooded,” and “heartless.” She paused.
Not far away, the man, who had been silent all this time, keenly sensed her arrival. His face changed drastically and his eyes darkened. After signaling Father Qi to shut up with his eyes, he turned around and walked to her side. Without waiting for her to speak, he first took the bags of fruits from her hand, then said in a deep and powerful voice, “Grandpa is inside. He’s asleep. Go in first!”
Father Qi was very dissatisfied with his son’s attitude, but when he saw Shuyan, he forced out a kind smile.
Chi Shuyan was also a bit stupefied when she saw this scene. When she pushed open the door and entered the ward, she realized that after so long, she still listened to him so obediently. For a moment, she wasn’t sure if her character was actually a little submissive, especially in front of Qi Zhenbai.
But the father and son clearly had a less harmonious relationship than before. As an outsider, it was even more inappropriate for her to interfere, so she could only stay in the ward obediently. Seeing that the old man was sleeping, she simply walked over to him softly, sat down next to him, and checked his pulse again. After confirming that he was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Shuyan sat in the old man’s room for more than half an hour before she saw Qi Zhenbai come in with a gloomy face and gently place the fruits by the bed. His dark expression didn’t ease up at all. It was obvious that he was very unhappy with Father Qi. Otherwise, given his emotional control, he would never reveal the slightest emotion.
Given their current relationship, she couldn’t ask anything. Seeing that the old man had yet to wake up, she could only say goodbye and leave.
“I’ll send you off!” Qi Zhenbai suddenly said, his tone still overbearing and irrefutable.
Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse, and the two took the elevator down as usual. This time, the man smelled less of smoke and seemed to have changed his clothes. She took a few more looks at him.
The other party’s face was clear and indifferent, and his eyes were even more bloodshot. Up close, it was quite a ghastly sight. For a moment, she wasn’t sure how many days the other party hadn’t slept. After the elevator doors opened, she couldn’t help but ask, “You didn’t rest today?”
Qi Zhenbai seemed quite surprised that she would take the initiative to show concern for him, but his face quickly regained its calm. He hummed softly and quickly said, “I took a nap at noon!”
“That’s good!”
The two passed by the hospital’s front courtyard. When they were about to reach the entrance, she saw that the man’s face was still dark and filled with hostility. He never stopped fiddling with the prayer beads on his wrist. She couldn’t help but take a look. The man let go and said indifferently, “It’s just a small thing!”
“Oh! I’ll leave first!”
“I’ll see you off!”
“Okay!”
