Mr. Du ate his food unhurriedly. His condition had improved a lot recently, but even so, he knew the state of his own body.
He sighed and said, "Xiao Yi, I don’t have much ti left. I know you’re being a filial grandson, but there’s really no need to go to all this trouble."
Shen Yi put down his chopsticks. "Grandpa, after I get into college, I’m going to pursue Qin Jiao. If you help , I might be able to let you hold a great-grandchild sooner."
"COUGH COUGH!"
Mr. Du was stunned by his grandson’s words. He watched the boy calmly pour himself so water, then said, exasperated, "You’re still so young. How can you be so set on that girl? Let tell you, I think she’s a fine girl. Don’t be all infatuated now, only to win her over and then realize you like so other girl. That’s just being fickle. You’ll hurt Xiao Qin!"
Shen Yi realized that his grandfather, just like in his previous life, was very fond of Qin Jiao.
And his grandfather had said these sa words in his past life, telling them that since they were already married, they should make it work and treat her well.
But Shen Yi hadn’t listened at the ti.
Back then, he believed Qin Jiao had ulterior motives and had orchestrated the incident at the guesthouse. He also looked down on her for being uncultured. In short, because his initial impression was so poor, no matter what she did afterward, Shen Yi found fault with it and would deliberately make things difficult for her.
And so, step by step, he pushed their relationship to a freezing point.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Shen Yi said with conviction, "Grandpa, it has to be her. For the rest of my life, I’m set on Qin Jiao. In my heart, she’s different."
Mr. Du nodded.
Shen Yi continued, "You have to help when the ti cos. The only reason Qin Jiao has been willing to visit us these past few tis is out of respect for you. Grandpa, if you help , I can be with Qin Jiao sooner. Grandma’s spirit in heaven would also think you’re doing the right thing."
Mr. Du gave a helpless smile. "You little rascal, you even brought your grandmother into this."
"Well, I suppose I take after you and Grandma in that regard—I’m loyal when it cos to love."
In truth, Mr. Du’s resolve was already wavering. Having heard all this, he was almost starting to seriously consider whether he should actively try to live a few more years.
’Perhaps he really would have a chance to et his great-grandchild?’
Seeing that the ti was right, Shen Yi placed a piece of deboned fish on his grandfather’s plate and dropped the final bombshell.
"Grandpa, there’s one more thing I plan to tell you first. And after you hear it, you’ll be willing to co with to the provincial capital."
"What is it?"
"My dad is having an affair."
"What!"
Shen Yi lowered his gaze slightly and recounted what he had seen after leaving the barbershop. "I took a photo at the ti. I dropped the roll of film off at a photo lab to be developed. I can get it in a couple of days. You can take a look then."
Mr. Du frowned. "Does your mother know about this?"
"I haven’t told her yet, but she already suspects Dad," Shen Yi said in a perfectly calm voice. "So, Grandpa, you really have to cooperate with the treatnt. Mom and I both still need you. I don’t know if they’ll get divorced in the future, but she’s your only daughter, and she listens to you more than anyone."
Thinking of his daughter, Mr. Du sighed. "Mmm, you’re right. Alright, let’s eat for now. When the photos are developed, show them to ."
"Okay."
The grandfather and grandson’s emotions had been on a roller coaster, but they still finished the al. After all, Qin Zhonghui and the others had gone to a lot of trouble to make it.
The atmosphere in their ho was heavy, but next door at the Qin family’s house, it was quite pleasant.
