Qiao Yijue didn't want to see Jiang Zhi.
He told Qiao Chu to go back first, and Li Wanyue would replace Qiao Yu to stay with him.
Qiao Chu could tell that her grandfather had a bad attitude towards Jiang Zhi, but she didn't say anything.
Grandpa just woke up and needs time to recover.
She would talk to him again once he felt better.
...
Jiang Zhi had already seen through Mr. Qiao's attitude, but he didn't point it out and treated him with courtesy.
He had known all along that the two families' marriage was based on mutual benefit.
He didn't have high expectations for this relationship.
Besides, he's always wanted a divorce!
Perhaps, next, he and Qiao Chu will have a legitimate reason to break up.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi felt inexplicably complicated.
...
Around 10 o'clock, an uninvited guest arrived at Qiao Yijue's VIP ward.
Li Wanyue poured water for Jiang Chi and Du Bin.
After a few polite greetings, the atmosphere became a little awkward, so Li Wanyue made an excuse to go to the car to get something.
Presumably, they didn't want outsiders present and must have something to discuss.
...
Jiang Chi cleared his throat and spoke.
"I was so happy to hear you were awake, and I couldn't wait to come and see you. Take good care of yourself and wish you good health."
Qiao Yijue was angry and glared at Jiang Chi.
"Stop with the pleasantries, it's just you and me here. Your Jiang family is like a bandit, taking advantage of our misfortune. You know perfectly well that your grandson is not good enough for my granddaughter, yet you insist on tying them together. Your intentions are truly despicable!"
Jiang Chi sighed slightly, nodded slightly, and his expression became somewhat solemn.
For the sake of the young couple's future, he suppressed all his dissatisfaction and patiently talked to Qiao Yijue.
“Yes, the Jiang family has married above their station with Qiao Chu. Old Qiao, you have just woken up and there are many things you do not know. I think Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu are a perfect match, and their relationship is getting better and better.”
Qiao Yijue kept a straight face, pursed his lips, and said coldly, "It's not necessarily that they're doing well! It's my Qiao Chu who's been wronged, having to take care of your grandson. My granddaughter is very talented, and it's you who's holding her back."
“I know you love Qiao Chu. I love her too, I truly cherish her. On the surface it’s an arranged marriage, but I’m reasonable and open-minded, and I genuinely care about the Qiao family. As long as the young couple is happy, I guarantee that both the Jiang and Qiao families will prosper, and half of it will belong to the Qiao family.”
"I don't care about anything from your Jiang family. Our Qiao family lacks nothing. We just can't let Qiao Chu suffer, and we can't ruin her life's happiness. You know your grandson's situation perfectly well. You can't harm others for your own selfish gain!"
"Life is a long journey ahead. Maybe they are truly in love? If you try to break them up as soon as you wake up, they will be sad."
“You’re thinking of your grandson, but I’m thinking of my granddaughter too. If I hadn’t been unconscious, all your little schemes would be for naught.”
Jiang Chi's expression was rather unpleasant, but he tried his best to hold it in.
Old Qiao was even more stubborn than him!
"The one surnamed Rong is the robber! It's fate that our two families can become related by marriage, and we should follow the will of fate."
"You don't need to make excuses anymore. I won't let Qiao Chu suffer."
"What if Qiao Chu has taken a liking to my grandson? Who can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart!"
"Qiao Chu would never be interested in your grandson. If she's going to marry him, it's because you forced her."
“I extended an olive branch, and she accepted it willingly; there was no coercion involved. I genuinely admire Qiao Chu; she is my ideal granddaughter-in-law. I feel very reassured having her as the mistress of the Jiang family. Old Qiao, now that we are in-laws, our two families should get along harmoniously and not let petty squabbles escalate.”
"I'm causing trouble? It's not like you're going too far!"
