Chapter 983 Remember it?

Grandpa Qin slowly left, leaving Xiaoxiao alone in the same spot.

As Xiaoxiao watched her grandfather's departing figure, she slowly squatted down on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

From that day on, Xiaoxiao disappeared from the hospital.

On the day she left, she also took Li Dong, who had been troubling the hospital, with her.

Qiao Xing learned about this three days later.

When she came to visit Grandpa Qin, she found that the person taking care of him had been replaced by a middle-aged woman.

Qiao Xing recalled what Qin Ce had said to him last time and knew that it must have been Qin Ce's idea.

Qiao Xing thought that Grandpa Qin was unaware of this matter and was worried that he might feel uncomfortable with the sudden change of personnel.

So she specifically asked Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, how do you feel about the people taking care of you now? Is there anything wrong with them?"

The woman who takes care of Grandpa Qin is honest and hardworking. Although she doesn't talk much, she is serious and reliable in her work.

Just as Qiao Xing said this, she came in carrying something and happened to hear it.

She thought Qiao Xing was dissatisfied with her and wanted to say a few words on her behalf, but was too nervous to speak.

Fortunately, Grandpa Qin said to Qiao Xing in time, "There's nothing wrong with it. I'm old, it doesn't matter who takes care of me."

Hearing this, Qiao Xing felt relieved. "That's good. The doctor said that you will be entering the next stage of treatment in two days. Just cooperate with the doctor and you can go home after the treatment is finished."

Grandpa Qin has now completely gotten used to being in the hospital, and he has also relaxed his attitude towards his condition.

"As for my illness, if it can be cured, I will try to cure it; if it can't be cured, I'll just live one day at a time. It's all a minor matter."

"Please don't say that," Qiao Xing said, frowning as she tried to dissuade him, afraid he would be discouraged.

Grandpa Qin chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about me anymore. How have you been these past few days? Has the baby in your belly been bothering you?"

Qiao Xing shook her head. "No, I'm fine."

Grandpa Qin suddenly sighed, as if he had thought of something. "You're doing well, but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone wants you to be doing well."

He said to Qiao Xing, "I've thought about it. If I can get better after some more treatment, we'll go back to Chongqing as soon as possible. You're about to give birth, and I'm not comfortable leaving you here. Besides, Xiao Ce is always causing more trouble here."

In the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation. It started with the rumor that Qin Ce was going to take over the Qin family, but now it has turned into the claim that Qin Ce is willing to turn against his own father in order to control the Qin family.

Qin Ce has never publicly announced that he is the founder of S&C, so the outside world still believes that Qin Ce grew up abroad and later returned to China for some reason.

They didn't know that Qin Ce actually looked down on the Qin family at all.

The so-called falling out between father and son is simply because Qin Ce was unwilling to hand over the shares he and his grandfather held in the Qin family to Qin Liang, which deepened the conflict between father and son.

When these things reached outsiders, they naturally became a criticism of Qin Ce.

After all, he is a junior, and there is no reason for him to break with his father over money.

Grandpa Qin wasn't worried about how these rumors would affect Qin Ce.

Qin Ce, being part of the Qin family, was already immune to these rumors from the outside world.

What he was really worried about was that these things would become a trigger for conflict between him and the Qin family.

Now it's obvious what Wang Yu's intentions are towards the Qin family. Since she's already started taking action, she won't give up until she gets what she wants.

Once these things are connected, regardless of what will happen between Qin Liang and Qin Ce, what Grandpa Qin is most worried about is Qiao Xing.

Grandpa Qin was still worried after thinking about it. "Why don't you tell Xiao Ce to go back to Yucheng first, and come back after things here are mostly settled?"

Seeing his solemn instructions, Qiao Xing couldn't help but smile. "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't take this lightly, I'm serious!"

Qiao Xing smiled helplessly, "You're worried that I'm not doing well here, but if I go to Chongqing alone, do you think I'll be okay?"

"Besides, you and Qin Ce are both here, while I'm all alone in Chongqing. Do you think I can stay there?"

Grandpa Qin sighed and said, "I'm just worried. I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, like something's going to happen."

Qiao Xing comforted her, "Don't worry, with Qin Ce here, nothing will happen. Besides, I'm not a child anymore, I know how to protect myself, so don't worry."

As the two were talking, Qin Ce came to pick up Qiao Xing.

He went to Tangxi to discuss business, and came directly to the hospital afterward.

As soon as he entered the ward, he could tell from Grandpa Qin's eyes that he had something to say to him.

While Qiao Xing went to the restroom, Qin Ce asked Grandpa Qin, "What's wrong?"

Grandpa Qin said, "I've already sent the person away, so this matter is considered settled. But as for the Qin family, it's up to you."

Qin Ce nodded. "I know."

After much thought, Grandpa Qin still felt that Qin Ce had been too arbitrary in this matter.

"The young girl's intentions are impure, but there's no real evidence in that matter. Isn't sending her away like this an overreaction?"

Although no harmful ingredients were found in the pastries that Xiaoxiao gave to Qiaoxing.

But the person behind this was Qin Fei. Qin Ce didn't know if Qin Fei had listened to Wang Yu, or if Wang Yu had instructed her to do this.

But now that he has discovered it, whether or not there is substantial evidence, it is no longer important to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce knew that his grandfather felt that if he made too big a move, it would arouse Wang Yu's suspicion.

Wang Yu is the kind of person who doesn't easily reveal his thoughts.

If this matter is truly related to her, it will be difficult to discover her ulterior motives once she has other intentions.

Qin Ce, however, disagreed. "It's only a matter of time. Otherwise, do you really want to wait until she does something that makes your granddaughter-in-law jealous and ruins my relationship before you want to send her away?"

Grandpa Qin immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. Nothing is more important than Xingxing, especially Xingxing. No one can let Xingxing have peace. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will settle accounts with him!"

Qin Ce was afraid his blood pressure would rise, "Don't get agitated. Take care of yourself first, then we can talk about whether or not to go all out."

Grandpa Qin knew that Qin Ce was a man of his word, so he didn't say much about it.

But he didn't forget to remind Qin Ce of another thing.

"It's understandable that you didn't tell Xingxing about this, but you can't hide anything from her next time, understand?"

Qin Ce said, "You make it sound like I've done something wrong."
