“Mom, why do you have to apologize to them? We didn’t do anything wrong. If the old man hadn’t been too stubborn in not allowing you to be with my dad, you and my dad wouldn’t have had to travel far away across the ocean. You have not dared to return to the capital for many years. You have even forgotten the last time you saw my grandparents. These are all caused by that old man.” Shen Junze was very dissatisfied. He had heard his mother talk about the affairs between their families since he was a child and was very resentful of the Shen family’s disapproval of his parents being together.
“Shen Junze, shut up.” Shen Rang roared. Shen Junze met his father’s angry gaze and shut up. He would not say anything.
Shen Rang looked at Shen Qinglan, “When I left, you were still in your mother’s belly. I didn’t expect you to be so old. Junze is young and ignorant. Don’t argue with him.”
Shen Qinglan’s cold eyes were on Shen Junze, then she glanced around and said, “It’s the father’s fault if a son doesn’t grow up well.”
Shen Rang was very embarrassed when Shen Qinglan said this. Shen Junze was very unhappy when he heard this, but his mother kept holding him back and wouldn’t let him open his mouth.
“Grandpa was found to have high blood pressure. The doctor said to try not to let him have too many mood swings. If you have nothing to do, you can leave first.” Shen Qinglan started to chase people away. She was not an aggressive person on weekdays, but she just went to the cemetery today to see Grandma Shen and was not in a high mood. Then she saw the old man get angry again, especially when she saw Shen Junze contradicting the old man. So, Shen Qinglan was in a bad mood now.
Shen Junyu looked at Shen Rang, “Second uncle, grandpa’s health is indeed not very good recently. Why don’t you leave first? Have you found a place to live? If not, I will book a hotel for you.”
“No, no, no, we have already found a place to stay. Since your grandfather is not in good health, we will leave first and come to see him another day.”
Shen Junyu stood up to see off the guests.
“Junyu, where is your grandma buried? I want to see her.”
Shen Junyu thought for a while and reported an address. Shen Rang left with a grateful look on his face. Before leaving, the woman walked at the end and faced her. Shen Junyu said sorry, but Shen Junze didn’t even look at Shen Junyu, snorted coldly, and got in the car.
Shen Junyu turned around and saw Shen Qinglan standing at the door with an indifferent expression. He smiled helplessly, “Are you still angry?”
“Okay, don’t you need to have lunch with Grandpa Fu at noon. Just go back first. Grandpa is here with me.”
Shen Qinglan thought for a while, nodded, and walked towards Fu family house. Aunt Zhao had already prepared lunch and was waiting for Shen Qinglan to come back.
“Girl Qinglan is back, let’s start dinner.” Mr. Fu saw Shen Qinglan and said with a smile. His body was recovering well. Apart from the temporary inability to use his right hand, the injury on his head did not leave any sequelae. This could also be said to be a blessing in disbelief.
“Grandpa, don’t wait for me to eat in the future.” Shen Qinglan was very embarrassed to ask the old man to wait for her to eat.
Mr. Fu didn’t care at all. He asked Shen Qinglan to sit down, pushed a bowl of soup in front of Shen Qinglan, and said with a smile, “Girl Qinglan, this is the soup I asked Xiao Zhao to stew for you. It is a tonic and very good for conditioning. You are in good health. But you have been drinking Chinese medicine recently and have lost weight. Don’t worry, I asked the doctor specifically for this soup. It does not conflict with the Chinese medicine you are taking.”
“Thank you, grandpa and Aunt Zhao.” Shen Qinglan thanked them. Some time ago, the old man was hospitalized, and Shen Qinglan did not take the traditional Chinese medicine on time. In the end, Fu Hengyi gave the medicine to Aunt Zhao. Only then did the family got to know that Shen Qinglan was taking medicine, but Fu Hengyi said that it was medicine to regulate the body, but did not say anything specific.
The soup was very clear, and the oil on it had been skimmed off. Shen Qinglan took a sip and it tasted very good.
“Grandpa, where is aunt?” Shen Qinglan asked after taking a sip of soup without seeing Fu Jingting.
After the old man was discharged from the hospital, Fu Jingting applied to be transferred back to the country. Now she worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and came home to eat with the old man every day.
“She said she has a meeting at noon and she won’t be back.” Mr. Fu’s right hand was inconvenient now, so he always used his left hand. Fortunately, Mr. Fu was called a double gunner when he was young. Both his hands were very flexible, otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to eat now. He would have to be fed by someone else.
After eating, Shen Qinglan accompanied Mr. Fu for a walk in the yard, and waited until the old man went upstairs to take a nap before leaving the compound.
Back at Jiangxin Yayuan, Shen Qinglan was cleaning when she heard her cell phone ringing. It was a series of unfamiliar numbers. When she picked up the phone, her expression suddenly changed. She hung up the phone and rushed downstairs.
“What’s going on? Why was grandpa sent to the hospital?” Shen Qinglan hurried to the hospital and saw Shen Rang’s family of three and Shen Junyu waiting outside at the door of the emergency room.
Shen Junyu’s face was very cold. When he saw Shen Qinglan, there was no gentle smile on his face like before. “Grandpa suddenly vomited blood and fell into coma. He is still being rescued.”
Shen Qinglan’s cold eyes swept over Shen Rang and the other two. His wife’s face was pale, and Shen Junze’s face was not only pale but also filled with fear.
Meeting Shen Qinglan’s gaze, he immediately shouted, “It’s none of my business. I just said a few words. Who would have known that he would vomit blood and it really had nothing to do with me.”
Shen Qinglan’s expression changed slightly and she stepped forward. She grabbed his collar and easily picked him up, “What did you say to my grandpa?”
The woman, Lu Yaqin, stood up, “Um, Qinglan, let go first and say what you have to say.” She didn’t dare to pull at Shen Qinglan, so she could only stand aside and say dryly.
Shen Qinglan glanced at her coldly, let go, but looked straight at Shen Junze, and spoke, word by word, “Tell me, what on earth did you say to grandpa?”
Shen Junze shrank his neck and shouted, “I went to see my grandma with my parents. Who knew we would meet this old… grandpa? He told my dad to get lost on the spot. I was so angry that I said a few words to him, and then he vomited blood.”
“You said what?” Shen Qinglan said with a cold tone.
“I didn’t say anything.” Shen Junze murmured in a low voice, “I just said that if he had allowed my parents to be together, my dad would not have left the Shen family, my grandma would not have gotten sick, and she would not have died so early. It’s all because of his stubbornness that she died…” After speaking, Shen Junze’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s hum, and Shen Qinglan’s eyes were really scary.
Seeing Shen Qinglan like this, Lu Yaqin’s expression also changed, and she said calmly, “Qinglan, Junze said too much, but he was just angry for a moment and spoke without thinking. You…”
But she didn’t say a word, there was a loud slap in the corridor, and Shen Junze’s face turned to one side, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and soon his whole face became swollen.
Shen Junze was furious in his heart. This was the first time he had been beaten in his life, but when he met Shen Qinglan’s gaze, he did not dare to say anything. He already felt guilty about what happened to Mr. Shen.
Lu Yaqin felt very distressed when she saw her son being beaten, but Mr. Shen was still inside being rescued. They didn’t know the situation yet, so she dare not say anything.
“You’d better pray that grandpa okay, otherwise…” Shen Qinglan’s eyes swept around them, and finally stopped on Shen Rang.
Shen Rang sat on the chair and remained silent since arriving at the hospital. He was indifferent even when his son was beaten, and he had no reaction to Shen Qinglan’s words.
“Lanlan, come here.” Shen Junyu put his arm around her shoulders and took her aside. Shen Qinglan remained silent, but when she occasionally looked toward the operating room, her eyes were full of worry.
The door to the operation theater opened and the doctor came out. Shen Qinglan walked over quickly. The person who moved faster than her was Shen Rang, “Doctor, how is my dad?”
“The old man is no longer in danger, but he has been greatly stimulated after all. He will be in a coma for the next few days, and there are some signs of a small stroke. You family members should take better care of him.”
Shen Rang nodded in agreement and watched Mr. Shen being pushed out of the operation theater and pushed in the ward, then he followed step by step.
Mr. Shen was still plugged into a ventilator, his eyes were closed tightly. Shen Qinglan was sitting beside the old man’s bed, holding the hand that was not receiving an intravenous drip. Mr. Shen’s hand was full of wrinkles, and there were many wrinkles on it. There were obvious age spots, but Shen Qinglan felt at ease feeling the temperature on them.
She looked at the old man with warmth in her eyes, “Grandpa, fortunately you are still here.” This was what Shen Qinglan wanted to say the most after watching Mr. Shen come out of the operating room. She didn’t want to lose her grandfather who loved her the most.
She looked at Mr. Shen quietly. The feeling this time was completely different from the last time Chu Yunrong was hospitalized. She could not imagine what she would have done if the old man had not come out of the emergency room alive this time.
Shen Qinglan was the only one in the ward, and Shen Rang and the others had been invited outside by Shen Junyu.
“Second uncle, you go back first. I will inform you when grandpa wakes up.” Shen Junyu said very politely, but also very distantly. Shen Junze was responsible for this incident, and Shen Junyu could not forget it.
