A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
Despite the driver speeding, Yan Mo arrived at West China Hospital on time.
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your help." Yan Mo thanked his sister's driver and walked towards the hospital.
In the car, he called Si Ze in advance, so as soon as Yan Mo arrived at the door, he saw Si Ze coming out of the hospital.
Yan Mo ran to Si Ze's side and said breathlessly, "I'm not late."
I hope her salary won’t be deducted! She just received her first month’s salary this morning and it’s not even warm yet.
Si Ze raised her right hand and looked at the time. It was 2:31, so she decided not to be late.
"Remember to leave early next time." Si Ze said lightly, took the fruit basket from Yan Mo's hand, turned around and went back to the hospital.
Si Ze's pace was not fast, and Yan Mo caught up quickly.
West China Hospital is a high-end hospital in Melbourne, and most of the people living here are from Melbourne's upper class.
This place is not like other hospitals, which are packed with people. Instead, entering the hospital feels like entering your own backyard, peaceful and comfortable.
There is also a faint fragrance of grass and trees in the air. Occasionally, when three or two nurses walk by, you will realize that this is also a hospital.
They entered the VIP inpatient building together, very quietly, and came to the exclusive elevator entrance leading directly to the top floor.
Because the two brothers Size agreed to their grandfather's conditions.
The old man will be discharged from the hospital today. Everyone in the Si family has been notified and has come to the hospital to pick up the old man. Now everyone is in the ward.
Si Ze had to remind Yan Mo: "My grandfather was discharged from the hospital today."
"Um?"
So what? Yan Mo waited for Si Ze to continue.
Si Ze: "When Grandpa is discharged from the hospital, my family will come to pick him up. You just have to act accordingly and don't let anything slip."
Yan Mo was confused. Wasn't this just a meeting with his grandfather? How did it become a disguised meeting with his parents?
"Who are they?" Yan Mo was nervous.
"Three aunts, an uncle, two cousins, six cousins, a cousin, and my parents."
"Why are there so many people? Aren't all your family members here?" With each person Si Ze mentioned, Yan Mo's heart grew heavier. He stepped into the elevator, then retracted his foot: "How about I come next time? I'm not ready to meet your parents yet. It's too fast, and I need some time to adapt."
Yan Mo retreated, feeling the urge to escape.
At this time.
A man and a woman walked in from outside. Yan Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances at the man, as they looked very familiar.
"Brother." The man strode towards them, took off his sunglasses, and saw Yan Mo next to Si Ze. His mouth was grinning from ear to ear: "Is this the wife you married yesterday?"
Si Heng studied Yan Mo carefully for a while and said, "It's the type Grandpa likes, intellectual, gentle, and elegant."
"Who are you?"
Yan Mo felt very uncomfortable being stared at like this. She turned her eyes away and looked at the woman brought by Si Heng.
"My name is Si Heng, his younger brother,"
Then he pointed at the woman next to him: "My girlfriend Ruan Ye"
"True or false?" Si Ze also looked at the girl.
Si Heng had an expression that said, "You understand."
The four of them looked at each other tacitly. Yan Mo blinked, thinking that the two brothers were in cahoots to deceive his grandfather.
If his grandfather knew about this, his illness, which had been cured, would probably relapse out of anger.
Si Ze: “Let’s go!”
With someone accompanying him, Yan Mo was not so resistant. Without saying anything more, they got into the elevator together.
Even though Yan Mo was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he arrived at the ward and saw the room full of people.
There was not even a place to stand in the ward.
It looks like there are at least twenty or thirty people. The Si family is really a large family.
"All of you, get out of the way and let my granddaughter-in-law come in." The old man was sharp-eyed and noticed Yan Mo and the others who had just got off the elevator.
This ward has one bedroom and one living room. The elevator goes directly to the living room. The ward where Mr. Si lives is facing the elevator entrance.
Hearing the old man's powerful voice, the people in the ward looked towards them and automatically made way for them.
"Momo, come here quickly, come to grandpa." Grandpa Si waved with a happy smile.
Yan Mo glanced at Si Ze, then looked at the woman Si Heng brought beside him.
Finally, she walked up to Mr. Si and shouted, "Grandpa Si, okay."
"Still calling me Grandpa Si?" Old Master Si pouted in dissatisfaction.
Yan Mo was helpless. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only shout, "Grandpa."
Hearing Yan Mo calling him grandpa obediently, the old man laughed out loud and was very happy.
At this moment, the old man was sitting in a wheelchair. He pointed to a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Si Ze and said, "This is Si Ze's father."
Then he pointed to a lady with a dignified temperament and noble airs: "This is Si Ze's mother."
This concludes the introduction.
"Dad, Yan Mo is here, let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late for the two of us to go back to the countryside to worship our ancestors." Si Ze's mother was worried about the old man's health and reminded him.
Go back to the countryside to worship ancestors?
Yan Mo glanced at Si Ze, a little confused about the current situation.
While the old man was chatting, Yan Mo moved closer to Si Ze without making any noise.
"Yes, yes, yes, Si Ze and Momo still have to go to worship their ancestors." Grandpa Si just remembered.
Just then.
A sixty-year-old, slightly plump woman walked out of the crowd, stood in front of her, and looked her over:
"This is Yan Mo! Si Ze's wife, she looks so pretty."
The person who spoke was Si Ze's third aunt Si Mei, who was also Mr. Si's most beloved daughter and had a say in front of the old man.
Her husband holds a high position in Zhenghong and has shares given by the old man. Her eldest aunt and second aunt do not have such treatment.
The old man of the Si family was in his thirties when he gave birth to his youngest son, Si Ze’s father.
This too.
The old man saw that the two brothers were not in love or married, so he wondered why they were so anxious and making arrangements everywhere.
He also wanted to have a great-grandson in his arms while he was still alive.
Seeing that there was no chance of getting along with Yan Mo, he resorted to the trump card of pretending to be sick.
In the old man's heart, he felt that if his grandson missed Yan Mo, he would be single for the rest of his life.
Ever since he learned two years ago that his old comrade-in-arms had a granddaughter, he had been paying attention to her both openly and covertly, and only after confirming her character did he arrange that blind date.
Yan Mo looked at Si Ze with a look of help.
Si Ze calmly took a step forward to block Yan Mo:
"Aunt, don't tease Yan Mo. She's thin-skinned."
"Aunt is just protecting Yan Mo because she likes him." Si Mei withdrew her hand, dissatisfied.
After hearing what his aunt Si Mei said, Si Ze had no intention of giving way.
"Okay, everyone go back first." Si Ze's mother Tang Ping glanced at the bewildered Yan Mo and spoke up to help.
All the things needed for hospitalization had been prepared before Yan Mo came. The old man insisted on waiting for his grandson's wife, so he did not leave the hospital.
But no one would tell Yan Mo.
Si Ze's father, Si Jiawei, pushed the old man into the elevator. The old man shouted to Yan Mo, "Mo Mo, go down with grandpa."
Yan Mo pulled Si Ze into the elevator together. Forget it if she wanted to be alone with these elders!
Fortunately, in the end, a girl who looked similar to Yan Mo squeezed in, and with Si Ze, the pressure was immediately relieved a lot.
The girl introduced herself sweetly: "Cousin, I'm coming too."
