Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon hearing that his grandson was hospitalized again, Chu Zhiyuan immediately rushed to the hospital. However, he was surprised to find an empty ward when he arrived.
This rascal is so disobedient right after the surgery!
When the search for his wayward grandson led him to the garden, Chu Zhiyuan saw his grandson and a little girl sitting on a bench under a tree, chatting and laughing.
He had already forgotten how long it had been since he saw a smile on Chu Liyuan’s face.
Actually, he was also responsible for what happened back then. He always wondered, if I hadn’t agreed to Chu Liyuan’s actions back then, would what happened after not have happened then?
Moreover, because of that incident, Mo Qingqin gave him the cold shoulder for a long time and even moved out of the family residence.
In the first two years, Mo Qingqin flatly refused to even see him. It was only in the past few years that things had improved a little. At the very least, she would not always chase him away. However, she was still unwilling to move back to the family residence, much less marry him.
Hence, he spent very little time in the family residence now.
Chu Zhiyuan was very pleased to see a smile on Liyuan’s face again today.
Does this mean that Liyuan has finally stopped beating himself up and let it go?
That little girl is really amazing!
When he walked closer, he finally understood why Chu Liyuan would smile like that at a little girl.
That little girl was not exactly the spitting image of Jian Dan, but she bore 90% resemblance to her.
No wonder!
That’s true. If its really that easy to let it go, Liyuan wouldn’t still be like this after so many years.
“Liyuan, you just went through a surgery. You can’t stay outside for so long.” Chu Zhiyuan said as he walked over.
Chu Zhiyuan really hoped that Chu Liyuan could get out of the abyss that is Jian Dan. Although he also liked Jian Dan very much, she was already dead, after all. The living still had to continue living.
Hence, he couldn’t watch Liyuan sink into it again…
As Jian Xiaoxin already knew who Chu Liyuan had in his family, she immediately guessed the identity of the old man walking over when she saw him. “You’re Uncle’s grandfather, right? Hello!” Jian Xiaoxin stood up and smiled sweetly…
“Uncle, you haven’t recovered yet. Hurry up and go back to rest. I have to return to the ward too.” Jian Xiaoxin smiled and turned to leave…
Chu Liyuan fell into a reverie as he stared after Jian Xiaoxin’s departing figure.
“Let’s go back to the ward.” Chu Zhiyuan helped Chu Liyuan towards the ward…
Not long after Jian Xiaoxin left, she bumped into Jian Xiaokai, who came out to look for her.
“Why did you run out while I went to buy food? Do you know how anxious I was when I didn’t see you after I came back from buying food?” Jian Xiaokai glared at Jian Xiaoxin angrily.
“Xiaokai, why are you so fierce? I accidentally dropped the handkerchief Mom gave me from the window just now, so I went down to look for it.” Jian Xiaoxin said with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing that his sister was about to cry, Jian Xiaokai hurriedly said, “Alright, alright. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have scolded you. I’m sorry!”
When Jian Xiaoxin heard her brother’s words, a big smile instantly blossomed on her face. “That’s more like it! Brothers should give in to their sisters!”
“Oh, you! By the way, who was that talking to you just now?”
“It’s a kind uncle. He was the one who helped me get the handkerchief out of the tree just now.”
“Oh! But you have to be careful in the future. There are a lot of human traffickers now. Be careful or they’ll catch you!” Xiaokai said worriedly.
Although his sister and mother had high IQs, they were complete scatterbrains about many things.
Chu Zhiyuan helped Chu Liyuan to the bed…
“Liyuan, Little Jian is no longer around. You should let it go,” Chu Zhiyuan said slowly.
He really couldn’t bear to see his grandson continue to be trapped like this in depression.
“No! Grandpa, Jian Jian is still alive. She’s back!”
It broke Chu Zhiyuan’s heart when he took in the blissful expression on Chu Liyuan’s face.
“Liyuan, we all know very well that Little Jian is already dead. Can you stop lying to yourself?” Chu Zhiyuan said agitatedly…
Initially, he had thought that time would heal all wounds, so he did not force Chu Liyuan because he felt that Chu Liyuan would let it go one day.
He did not expect him to get worse..
