The old man was very displeased with Xi Quan's questioning: "Xi Quan, don't be so disrespectful. I'm not senile. I only let you end up like this because I didn't want to argue with you. Besides, Liang Youjie and Quan Zhen's situation is their own fault. But even so, if I had helped them even a little, things wouldn't have come to this..."
Because Quan Zhen was mentioned repeatedly, Xi Quan was afraid that Su Zhe would have some thoughts, so he secretly observed him for a while. He found that Su Zhe was in a good mood, so he was a little relieved. However, he did not let the old man continue to say this: "Don't say useless things. Let's talk about now. What are you going to do if you are found out? Let me make it clear first, if anything happens to my son and daughter, I will come to you first."
"You bastard, I'm still your grandfather." The old man raised his hand and pointed at Xi Quan in anger, but his voice was full of energy and he didn't seem angry at all.
As people get older, they become a bit like children. Although the old man looked incredibly powerful, Xi Quan seemed even more composed, just staring at the old man with a blank expression, as if he wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
The old man, feeling a bit impatient under Xi's gaze, muttered, "I told you not to worry, why don't you believe me?"
"What do you think?" Xi Quan asked casually, not at all concerned that his question might displease the old man.
Swallowing hard, the old man said, "Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother is abroad. How can we contact her? We just call and send telegrams. I've kept all the telegrams. Ever since I saw Jiang Xinya's news on the news, I've been recording her calls with a recorder."
At this point, the old man added, "By the way, I heard that some phones can record audio nowadays. Why don't you help me get a phone that can record audio, so I don't have to turn on the recorder every time I answer a call?"
It has to be said that the old man's simple words surprised Xi Quan, Ye Qing, and Su Zhe greatly.
I never expected the old man to be so wary of someone.
It's not that I don't believe it, but it seems a bit unusual given the old man's previous protectiveness towards Jiang Xinya. Xi Quan asked, "Weren't you very protective of Jiang Xinya before? Why are you so wary of her grandmother now?"
"Jiang Xinya is a stupid girl who can't do anything. I was thinking that if you got together with her, I could control you. Who knew you would get married so early and not say a word?"
Xi Quan had already sat down, leaned forward, put his arms on his knees, placed his hands on the coffee table in front of him, tapped it lightly a few times, and coughed to cover up his emotions: "Get to the point, don't say anything useless."
The old man realized that Ye Qing was there and that his previous plans were inappropriate, so he followed Xi Quan's words and got to the point: "Jiang Xinya is a fool. Her grandmother is not a simple person. Of course I have to be careful. I was the one who found a way to get her to go abroad, so I know her personality all too well."
After he finished speaking, the old man saw that Ye Qing, Xi Quan, and even Su Zhe were silent. He remained silent for a while and then said, "Anyway, I think the child is safe with me for the time being. There's no need for you two to be in such a hurry. So you two can go first. I'll leave the child with you for now."
Ye Qing was seriously considering what the old man had said earlier, but upon hearing this, he couldn't sit still any longer and even wanted to leave with the child immediately.
But just as he was about to stand up, Xi Quan stopped him.
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan with dissatisfaction, while Xi Quan gave Ye Qing a look that said, "Take it easy."
Although still anxious, seeing Xi Quan's expression, Ye Qing didn't say anything more and hesitated for a moment before sitting down.
“The child won’t stay here with you. After all, you’re getting on in years and need someone to take care of you. Besides, who knows if what you’re saying is just a diversionary tactic to lull me into a false sense of security?” Xi Quan said slowly.
The old man was displeased upon hearing this: "Xi Quan, what do you mean by that! Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Your two children at least call me their great-grandfather, I..."
At this moment, Su Zhe, who had been silent, spoke up: "It's true that even tigers don't eat their cubs, but what about you? If you had done anything even slightly useful back then, my mother wouldn't be like this now."
Mentioning Kwon Jin made him lose his composure.
Xi Quan wasn't surprised when Su Zhe mentioned Quan Zhen.
So Xi Quan glanced at Su Zhe and then looked away, turning his gaze back to the old man: "The past is the past. I have no complaints about you anymore, but it's really not suitable for the child to stay with you. After all, Jiang Xinya's grandmother has already found you, hasn't she? She's in the shadows, and you're in the open. It's not so easy for you to guard against her."
It has to be said that the old man's unexpected actions today gave Xi Quan and Ye Qing a heads-up. They will definitely have to keep a close eye on the child in the coming days, because Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother will not allow any accidents to happen in order to get the inheritance. So she will definitely have to find a way to save Jiang Xinya from this accident.
If Xi Quan had said before that the child shouldn't be here, the old man naturally wouldn't have had any objections.
Anyway, he's not very close to the child. But now he seems to be with Su Zhe, but Su Zhe usually doesn't talk much. Although there are people in the room, it feels very stuffy and lacks any human warmth.
If things continue like this, it's alright, since we're used to it.
But today, the old man took the two children out for a walk. Although he was exhausted, the two children were chattering away in his ear, unlike his usual quiet demeanor, and he didn't find it too noisy.
The old man even got used to the noise of the two children arguing in a short time.
The thought of Xi Quan and Ye Qing taking the two children away... made the old man subconsciously glance around the huge house.
Xi Quan, Ye Qing, and even Su Zhe all noticed the old man's gesture of looking around the house, but no one paid much attention to it.
Because they never expected that the old man would now be looking forward to family life. You have to understand how selfish the old man used to be; almost everything he did was for himself.
Seeing that the old man hadn't said anything after he finished speaking, Xi Quan pulled Ye Qing to stand up: "I've said what I needed to say. Just be careful at home. It's better if you and Jiang Xinya's grandmother have less contact. Although you knew each other before, you haven't seen each other much in decades. Do you know what she's become now?"
While Xi Quan was talking to the old man, Ye Qing had already gone upstairs and brought the child down.
"Say goodbye to Great-Grandpa."
The two children ran up to the old man and each kissed him, then said ingratiatingly, "Great-Grandpa, we like you so much! Everything today was delicious! You said you'd buy more to keep at home, so we can come back to eat in a couple of days!"
After saying that, the two children blinked at the old man frantically.
