"So, Yueyue, this is your action report for today?" Li Jieyue and Qin Limin both felt a headache coming on after looking at the report that Bai Yueyue had completed in the car and listening to Bai Yueyue's narration.
Qin Zhenming didn't care, but felt sorry for his granddaughter who was tired from talking, so he handed Bai Yueyue the tea that he had already ordered someone to prepare.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Bai Yueyue said after accepting the tea and bowing. "Mother, Godfather, you can't blame me. I've done my best. Ah Hao originally planned to go to the factory, but I politely declined, saying that Qin Ye wasn't there and I couldn't go on my own. That's how I sent him away."
"Exactly, Yueyue is already very tired. Can't you come up with a solution before discussing it with her?" Qin Zhenming said, looking at the two of them with dissatisfaction.
...Father (Uncle Qin), do you think this matter is easy to resolve? Li Jieyue and Qin Limin looked at the old man who doted on his granddaughter and really had no choice.
Of course, they could also understand why Qin Zhenming acted differently in front of Bai Yueyue and in front of others.
Qin Zhenming doesn't have much time left, and he might even start to become occasionally confused, according to the doctor. Qin Yusa's situation is also a thorn in Qin Zhenming's side, so in his final moments, he only wants to dote on his granddaughter, Bai Yueyue.
It's no exaggeration to say that Qin Zhenming is now like a child in front of Bai Yueyue. None of them told Qin Zhenming about Qin Ye's situation; Bai Yueyue only described it in her report.
During the oral recounting, the two men, at their urging, omitted this detail. They both knew that given Qin Zhenming's current personality, he would definitely beat Qin Ye half to death if he found out about this.
“Uncle Qin, you spoil Yueyue too much. According to Yueyue’s description, she has already caused a lot of trouble.” Li Jieyue looked at the old man helplessly.
From her elopement with Bai Zhenhao to settling down in Asia City, she couldn't have done it without the help of this old man, who was also the older brother of Li Jieyue's father. Faced with Qin Zhenming, Li Jieyue could only coax him.
"Oh dear, Mother, you can't blame me! It was clearly Father's fault. The situation was urgent, and the other person was very difficult, so I tried my best!" Bai Yueyue squatted down next to Qin Zhenming, throwing a little tantrum.
What? You're saying this attitude will affect Li Jieyue when she gets home? What can she do? That's Bai Yueyue's problem to worry about when she gets home.
Li Jieyue looked at Bai Yueyue's dangerous smile that only the two of them could understand, and then said to Qin Limin, "Yueyue has exposed all her preferences, personality flaws, interpersonal problems, problem-solving shortcomings, close friends and even her aristocratic consciousness to Di Hao. He will definitely come to the coming-of-age ceremony in person. Before that, we should pay more attention to what methods he might use to leave trouble behind."
Hmm? Mother, please don't be so harsh! I don't feel like I've revealed so many problems.
Sulking and drinking tea, Bai Yueyue was not yet ready to participate in this level of conversation. She could simply listen and learn from Li Jieyue and Qin Limin how to handle the situation.
"Huh, so his name is Di Hao? No wonder he always calls himself A Hao." Bai Yueyue felt a chill just thinking about Di Hao; she really didn't want to have any more contact with him.
It was also because of him that Bai Yueyue's inspection plan of the factory had to be postponed by one day in order to get rid of him as soon as possible and to prevent Bai Yueyue from exposing more weaknesses. In addition, Li Jieyue and Qin Limin needed to hear Bai Yueyue's report as soon as possible.
“Listen to this, the other party tested Yueyue’s understanding of the capital from the very beginning. Isn’t this because you didn’t teach Yueyue properly?” Qin Zhenming lay back in his chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers as he scolded the two men.
"Uncle Qin (Father), we will start Yueyue's learning about the capital city as soon as possible." The two said helplessly. Although Di Hao's arrival was too sudden, it was indeed their dereliction of duty not to prepare for it.
As for Bai Yueyue, she was a little unhappy. Didn't this mean she had even more classes? Oh dear, Grandpa Qin, I know you're trying to avenge me, but please just go and scold that Di Hao for me. If possible, scold Qin Ye first! They are the source of my troubles.
After nearly four hours of discussion, the three bid farewell to Qin Zhenming and left. Qin Zhenming was a little reluctant to leave, intending to ask Bai Yueyue to stay with him a little longer.
This was naturally impossible. Li Jieyue and Qin Limin strongly objected, and it took Bai Yueyue ten minutes to coax Qin Zhenming.
"Yueyue, you understand Father's health condition, right?" After leaving the room, the three of them went to another private room to avoid being seen by the personal attendants.
“Yes, I know,” Bai Yueyue lowered her eyes. The sadness she felt at this moment was not a noble's pretense, but genuine. “Grandpa Qin’s health condition is caused by premature aging. I have already used magic to heal his hidden injuries, but it’s still too late…”
Bai Yueyue understood Qin Zhenming's condition better than the doctor; Qin Zhenming's situation was different from Liu Jiayu's. Liu Jiayu was young enough, and her body had only suffered serious injuries, not aging. More importantly, she had Xiao Ya's help at the time.
Qin Zhenming was too old; his hidden injuries had exhausted his life force, and his aging body was beyond saving.
Just as Xiaoya told her, magic is not omnipotent and cannot bring the dead back to life.
“None of us will blame you,” Qin Limin said, looking at Bai Yueyue with comfort. “You just need to understand the situation.”
Bai Yueyue looked up at the two of them, her expression puzzled.
"Yueyue, Uncle Qin was a soldier who fought on the battlefield and risked his life for the imperial family. That's why outsiders call him Old Qin. He also chose to give up his power in the capital and come to Asia City to share the burden of the emperor at the time and suppress the lower and middle-level cities. Now, the imperial family, including the emperor, cannot help but respect him."
Li Jieyue explained to Bai Yueyue that Qin Zhenming and Li Jianchuan were both veterans who participated in the war more than fifty years ago. Now, the soldiers who survived that war have all passed away.
The Li family's past prosperity stemmed from the passing of many of Li Jianchuan's contemporaries, making him one of the oldest members of his generation in the capital. Therefore, even if the imperial family wishes to weaken the Li family's military power, they must still show respect to Li Jianchuan himself.
Qin Zhenming followed the same principle. He didn't even compete for power with the imperial family, choosing instead to come to the then-ruin-the-city of Asia due to his health. He used Asia to suppress the smaller cities that were attempting rebellion, ensuring the development of the capital. The mayors and their families in the other larger cities did the same. Asia's development into the second-largest city it is today is also inseparable from this old man.
Such elders are now considered juniors even by the imperial family and the emperor. Unlike Li Jianchuan, who faces various restrictions in the capital, in Asia City, no matter how many actions the capital takes, as long as Qin Zhenming lives, Bai Yueyue can be protected.
Now, this old man is also about to "grow old," and Bai Yueyue will lose one of her greatest protectors.
"So, Yueyue, you absolutely must not let slip anything about Father's condition," Qin Limin warned. As long as Qin Zhenming is alive, he can protect Bai Yueyue. After Qin Zhenming passes away, the biggest restriction on the Imperial Clan for Bai Yueyue and the others will also disappear.
