Chapter 679: Its Mission
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that her senior sister did not speak, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little uneasy.
After all, she knew that she would not delay the progress, but others did not know.
For Senior Sister, she should be apprehensive now.
She was already busy during this period of time, but her new Junior Sister was pregnant.
Being pregnant meant she couldn’t do many things. This also meant she still had to do most of the work.
She finally had a junior sister to share her burden, but now it was no different from not having one.
Just as Ji Yuanyuan felt uneasy, Senior Sister said, “I know. I can’t hide it for you for long. Teacher Wu will find out sooner or later. I think it’s better for you to tell her as soon as possible.”
“I understand.” Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister.”
Although Senior Sister had once again asked Ji Yuanyuan to go home and rest, Ji Yuanyuan had just vowed that she would not be a burden. If she left now, it would be too funny.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not leave.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan insisted on not leaving, Senior Sister did not force her.
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yuanyuan took out ger phone and opened a delivery app, ordering milk tea and some food for her senior sister.
She and the Senior Sister would have to meet frequently in the next year.
It wasn’t a bad thing to get closer.
Ji Yuanyuan calculated the time. By the time the takeout arrived, she would be leaving too, so her senior sister could not refuse.
When she came out of the laboratory, Qin Mucheng was already waiting outside.
Seeing Qin Mucheng, Ji Yuanyuan recalled the phone call in the afternoon.
She got into the car with a heavy heart. Qin Mucheng also asked in a low voice, “Why did you suddenly hang up on the phone in the afternoon?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that Senior Sister came in. I was afraid it would affect me, so I hung up.” Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else to Qin Mucheng, afraid that he would be worried.
Qin Mucheng did not think too much about it and only asked, “How was it today? Did he torture you?”
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her belly and said with a blissful expression, “No, he’s quite obedient.”
After a pause, Ji Yuanyuan asked, “Do you think I should call Lin Nan?”
Qin Mucheng naturally knew Ji Yuanyuan was worried about Zhao Tianhua,
“You can call if you want to, but I don’t think you need to.”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Did Qin Mucheng notice something when he went to the Lin family’s company?
“Do you know which department in a company is most prone to committing crimes?”
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and asked tentatively, “The finance department?”
Qin Mucheng nodded, “Zhao Tianhua is in the finance department.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, “Then I won’t contact Lin Nan for the time being.”
Lin Nan should have her own plan.
Ji Yuanyuan adjusted her chair and said, “Let’s go home.”
When the two of them returned home, Cheng Shuqin, who usually greeted them at the door, was not there today.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. When she entered the courtyard, she realized the atmosphere in the house seemed a little strange.
The two of them looked at each other, and Qin Mucheng helped Ji Yuanyuan into the house.
Dinner was already laid out on the dining table.
Cheng Shuqin sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly ahead.
Ji Yuanyuan looked around but did not see Qin Junshan.
“Mom, where’s Grandpa?” Ji Yuanyuan said.
Cheng Shuqin seemed to have just realized that Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng had returned. She sat up from the sofa, “You’re back? Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat.”
“Why isn’t Grandpa out yet?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
In the past, Qin Junshan would have been waiting in the restaurant at this time.
What happened today? It seemed like Cheng Shuqin had no intention of calling him.
“You don’t have to wait for your grandfather. He doesn’t have an appetite.” Cheng Shuqin said in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng also felt that it was a little strange. After helping Ji Yuanyuan to sit down, he said, “I’m going to see Grandpa.”
At this moment, Cheng Shuqin grabbed Qin Mucheng’s arm, “There’s no need to go. It’s just that Qin Doudou is gone. Your grandfather might be… It’s sad.”
Some time ago, when Yuanyuan’s grandfather passed away, the old man could not eat for a few days.
After knowing that Yuanyuan and Mucheng were back, the Old Master Qin cheered up and started eating.
Now, the situation was similar to the last time.
After all, Qin Doudou was Mucheng’s dog.
However, ever since Muxheng went to M Nation, Old Master Qin has been taking care of him.
Qin Doudou’s relationship with Old Master Qin was gradually getting closer to his relationship with Qin Mucheng.
Moreover, they were all busy and had no time to accompany the old man.
In the past, when the Old Master was in good health, he could go wherever he wanted and see whoever he wanted.
However, in recent years, the old man’s health has been getting worse and worse. For the sake of safety, they did not let the old man go too far.
Therefore, the old man spent most of his time fishing in the courtyard.
Qin Doudou was the only one accompanying the old man.
Now that his only old friend had left, it was understandable that the old man felt bad.
He was uncomfortable, so he naturally couldn’t eat. At this time, if he were forced to eat, it would make him uncomfortable.
Cheng Shuqin sighed and said again, “Alright, you guys eat. I’ll get Auntie Wu to cook some noodles and send them to your grandfather later.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked up worriedly at Qin Mucheng.
Although Qin Doudou was raised by Qin Junshan, Qin Mucheng was the one who raised it when it was young.
Qin Mucheng’s feelings for Qin Doudou were probably no less than Grandfather’s.
Qin Mucheng had always been a sentimental person.
He sat down on the dining chair in a daze.
Then, as if he suddenly reacted, he looked up at Cheng Shuqin and asked, “How could Qin Doudou…”
He could still vaguely remember that Qin Doudou was only the size of a palm when he picked it up.
On the rotten grass in winter, it was shivering from the cold.
It was not easy to get goat’s milk, but it did not know how to drink it.
He could only use a spoon to pour it in bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.
Qin Doudou had lived in the Qin family for more than ten years.
“It’s already thirteen and a half years old. For a dog, it’s considered longevity.” Cheng Shuqin reached out and patted Qin Mucheng’s shoulder. “I’ve already sent someone to bury him properly.”
Qin Mucheng nodded. His expression was calm, as if he had already accepted the news.
“It has completed its mission.” Ji Yuanyuan reached out and held Qin Mucheng’s hand, comforting him in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng looked at her and forced a smile.
However, his eyes were a little red.
This meal was a little tasteless.
After dinner, Ji Yuanyuan accompanied Qin Mucheng upstairs.
The moment they entered the room, Qin Mucheng reached out and hugged Ji Yuanyuan before he could close the door.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and closed the door quietly before hugging Qin Mucheng.
The hug this time was different from all the hugs in the past..
