The story follows Qiao Wanyue who, in her previous life, married a man who turned out to be an abusive husband, while her sister married an enviable military officer. After her abusive husband got ...
As she approached the door, she passed by an elderly woman with white hair without noticing. Only after the woman had passed the railing did she slowly walk over, quickening her pace. Suddenly, she heard the woman's voice behind her.
"Girl, wait a moment."
Qiao Wanyue stopped in her tracks and turned around.
This was not the old man she had met at the Wen family's house.
Wen Bing calls him grandpa.
He was so angry with Wen Bing that he was hospitalized, but has he been discharged from the hospital?
Qiao Wanyue turned around and walked towards him. "Are you feeling better?"
Wen Dian nodded, "I'm too old to take it. It's nothing."
The old man invited Qiao Wanyue to go out together. He had a car even though he was retired, but he usually didn't want to trouble his workplace and would walk whenever his health allowed.
Seeing the old man walk out unsteadily, Qiao Wanyue instinctively supported his shoulder, slowed her pace, and accompanied him.
Wen Dian felt a warm glow in his heart. When he took walks with Wen Bing, she would always walk impatiently ahead of him. He had injured his legs when he was young and walked slowly, so she always urged him on.
Over time, he stopped liking to take walks with that girl.
But Qiao Wanyue is perceptive and kind-hearted.
Wen Dian sighed inwardly.
My own granddaughter is such a disappointment.
If it weren't for his age, he would have definitely asked Wen Gaohan to have another child.
Qiao Wanyue thought the old man would go home, but instead he walked and ended up at the state-run restaurant.
He even warmly invited Qiao Wanyue to dinner.
Qiao Wanyue didn't understand the Wen family. She had a blood feud with their daughter/granddaughter, yet they all warmly invited her to eat and give her gifts. If it weren't for Wen Dian's overly sincere invitation...
She even suspected that Wen Dian was going to drug her food.
The old man was very enthusiastic. He didn't even mention Wen Bing's name during the meal. He only asked about Qiao Wanyue's health and what to do in the future. When he talked about Lu Yunzhou, he felt sorry for him. He even wanted to play matchmaker for Qiao Wanyue.
He has many warriors under his command, provided Qiao Wanyue agrees.
Qiao Wanyue politely declined.
The Wen family is really interesting; Wen Wenbing is a good bamboo shoot that produces bad ones.
"Grandpa, can't you drink?" Qiao Wanyue took away the small bottle of wine that Grandpa Wen had ordered.
"You silly girl, I'll be fine with a little drink."
The old man didn't have any major hobbies, except that he liked to have a little wine now and then. However, his health was poor, and the doctor strictly forbade him from drinking. But the old man had worked all his life, and this was his only little hobby. He was unwilling to let them take it away from him.
He often engaged in power struggles with his family. Occasionally, he would go out for a meal with friends or treat the younger generation to a meal. Because of his age and high position, most people didn't dare to advise him against it. Over time, the old lady often smelled alcohol on him and directly told everyone who had invited him to drink. If anything happened, she would go to that family and cry. Everyone in the family compound knew about it, and no one, regardless of their rank, would drink with the old man anymore.
He hasn't drunk alcohol for half a month.
Qiao Wanyue put the wine back in its original place, then asked the waiter to bring her a bottle of soda, opened it, and handed it to the old man, saying, "At your age, if something happens to you because of drinking, I can't take responsibility."
