Grandpa Qi's smile faltered.
He was clearly surprised by the result, but since the boy wasn't his own grandson, he was merely taken aback and didn't pay much attention to the marriage.
The fact that he could offer the elixir was already the greatest expression of his sincerity towards his adopted grandson.
The rest is no longer possible.
Grandpa Qi turned his gaze to Grandpa Shen.
Grandpa Shen smiled wryly and said, "She has always been a person of strong opinions since she was a child. Once she has made up her mind, no one can persuade her otherwise."
"So, Mr. Qi, we are not destined to be in-laws after all."
Grandpa Qi nodded, understanding Grandpa Shen's meaning.
Just as she was about to get up and take her leave with Su Jian, Su Jian stared intently at Shen Bingyan, his eyes filled with confusion and feigned affection: "Why? Are you prejudiced against me!"
"Bingyan, what happened at the restaurant last time was an accident, and that's not what I meant. Please give me a chance; I really want to marry you."
Even if you disagree now, I will continue to pursue you.
"I believe that one day, you will be moved by me."
A look of deep affection appeared on Su Jian's face.
He has never failed to win the heart of any girl he wants to pursue.
Girls are most easily moved by small details. A handsome, wealthy man who is willing to spend money and can also provide emotional value would move any girl in the world.
Shen Bingyan ignored Su Jian's confession. Seeing that her grandfather had already rejected her, she turned around and went back to her room.
After politely bidding farewell to Grandpa Shen, Grandpa Qi left with his adopted daughter and grandson.
"That Miss Shen is far too arrogant."
"Does she think she's the British president's princess? She puts on such a high and mighty attitude, constantly implying that my son is not good enough for her."
"What's so great about him? He's just sick!" The adopted daughter was disgusted as soon as they got back to the car.
If it weren't for her illness, I might not have agreed to this marriage!
Unlike his infatuated expression when he confessed his love to Shen Bingyan at the Shen family home, Su Jian's face after returning to the car was half calculating and half embarrassed and resentful at being rejected.
He secretly vowed to marry Shen Bingyan!
Only by marrying into the Shen family and gaining their support can he better inherit the Qi family business!

at this time.
Lucheng.
After the caregiver who was looking after Zhou Yi came out of the hospital, a dilapidated van parked across the street also drove out and followed the woman at a distance.
The woman went into a breakfast shop in the alley, bought some breakfast, and then returned to the hospital.
These scenes were all being secretly observed!
The caregiver was carrying breakfast and about to enter the elevator when suddenly, a woman carrying the same breakfast rushed over.
"Don't close the elevator, wait for me."
The woman ran like the wind and entered the elevator in a flash.
I don't know if I was running too fast and didn't have time to brake, but I ended up hitting the caregiver.
The woman's impact was quite strong, causing the caregiver to stumble. The breakfast bag in her hand, perhaps due to its flimsy construction, broke with a loud thud.
The packed breakfasts all fell to the ground, leaving a huge hole in the bottom of the bag.
Seeing the seaweed rolls and beef patties that had rolled out, the woman looked embarrassed: "Oh, this... are you alright? I'm so sorry."
"I'm a clumsy person, I was just thinking about running in quickly, I didn't expect it would cause your breakfast to fall on the floor."
"Huh? Didn't I just see you? Did you buy breakfast from Li's shop?"
“I bought mine there too. It’s all my fault for knocking over the breakfast you bought. Luckily, I still have time. I bought it but haven’t eaten it yet, so I’ll make up for it by going back to buy another one.”
The woman bowed her head and apologized while hiding the razor blade that had torn the bag in her cuff.
"I'm so sorry."
The woman shoved the breakfast into the caregiver's hands, apologized, and backed out of the elevator.
The caregiver looked somewhat bewildered as she glanced at the breakfast the woman had shoved into her hand. Just moments before, this woman had indeed been buying breakfast right next to her.
I glanced down at the food in my hand. It was exactly the same as what I had bought. Well, that's fine. I was also upset that the other person was in such a hurry. It was only right that I compensate her.
Looking at his phone, I guessed that Young Master Zhou was also hungry.
Without thinking twice, the caregiver hurriedly pressed the elevator button and went upstairs: "Young Master Zhou, breakfast is here."
"This shop has been around for twenty or thirty years. It opened in the 1990s. It's a family recipe, and everyone who has eaten there says it's delicious."
Both Zhou Shao and Zhou Yi were very generous.
They also pay caregivers higher wages than the market rate.
The caregiver was grateful, but being poor, she had nothing to offer.
It just so happened that the villa's chef had taken two days of sick leave, either from an upset stomach or from illness. When the caregiver found out, she volunteered to buy breakfast for Zhou Yi.
She patted her chest and assured Zhou Yi that although the breakfast shop couldn't compare to the environment of a five-star hotel, its hygiene and taste would definitely be better.
Zhou Yi agreed, too lazy to order takeout himself.
Zhou Yi sat down on the sofa, and the caregiver brought over the breakfast and arranged it neatly.
"Thank you for your trouble. I even asked you to go out and buy me breakfast this morning." Zhou Yi said with a polite smile, picking up a seaweed roll and about to put it in his mouth.
Suddenly—
I smelled a peculiar odor.
He stopped what he was doing.
The seaweed roll was less than ten centimeters away from his lips.
Zhou Yi calmly put the seaweed roll back. Seeing the caregiver making his bed, Zhou Yi leaned forward slightly, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
These breakfasts have all been injected with a deadly poison!
Moreover, it is a modified version of paraquat.
In the past, paraquat had a very strong odor that anyone could smell.
The flavor added to these breakfasts is a modified version, with only a faint herbal taste, somewhat similar to matcha grass.
Is this a poison specifically designed for assassinations?!
They're not sold on the market; they're probably only available on the dark web, and even then, you need special channels!
This poisoning was different from the previous time when the old shareholder used someone else to kill him. The old shareholder only dared to give him a slow-acting poison, disguised as a foreign virus infection that caused his death.
But this time, the poison was so potent that a single drop could kill him.
The person who poisoned the food wasn't afraid of being investigated by the police. They poisoned all the breakfasts, and if the person ate any of them, their internal organs would immediately fail and they would die!
Zhou Yi's eyes flickered slightly. Was the person who poisoned him the same person who wanted him dead in the car accident?
After all, both times they were directly trying to kill him.
