Chapter 1015 Because It's Suitable
Grandpa Qin put down his chopsticks and sighed, "I know you too well. You keep all your thoughts and ideas to yourself and act like nothing's wrong. When Qin Ce was around, you could talk to him about them, but now that he's gone, you're even less willing to talk."
It would be a lie to say that Qiao Xing wasn't upset when Qin Ce suddenly encountered such a thing.
But she also knew that she wasn't the only one who was suffering.
At least in front of Grandpa Qin, she couldn't show it.
"Grandpa, I'm really fine. The doctor said Qin Ce will wake up, and I believe she will."
Grandpa Qin said meaningfully, "If you were only worried about Xiao Ce, I probably wouldn't be saying all this to you. Tell me honestly, are you thinking about something else?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, probably because she didn't expect Grandpa Qin to see through her thoughts so clearly.
Grandpa Qin knew he had guessed right just by looking at her expression.
He said, "Alright, don't hide anything from Grandpa. Tell Grandpa what's on your mind."
Qiao Xing pursed her lips and slowly put down her chopsticks. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that too many things have happened in the past two days, and I don't know how to accept it. Sometimes I even think that if I hadn't come to the capital with Qin Ce, would this have happened to him?"
Grandpa Qin was not surprised that Qiao Xing would say such a thing.
He was actually quite pleased that Qiao Xing would say that.
Even before Qiao Xing married Qin Ce, Qin's grandfather knew that Qiao Xing was a child who only reported good news and never bad.
She is more rational than emotional, so she is very decisive in many things. This is why she never wanted to rely on others, no matter what happened.
So Grandpa Qin was very glad that Qiao Xing would say such a thing.
Regardless of whether this was her responsibility or not, the fact that she had these thoughts and spoke her mind at least prevented her from isolating herself forever, because that would be too exhausting.
"Star, do you know why I wanted Qin Ce to marry you so much back then?"
Qiao Xing shook his head and then said, "Is it because you're eager to have a great-grandchild?"
Grandpa Qin was amused by her. "You silly child, no matter how anxious I am, I can't just find anyone to marry Xiao Ce, can I?"
Qiao Xing thought back to the reason why she married Qin Ce in the first place.
She thought to herself, back then, Qin Ce was just an ordinary person to her.
Grandpa Qin continued, "Actually, for Xiao Ce, with his personality and status, he should find someone who is similar to him in every way to marry."
Qiao Xing understood what Grandpa Qin meant by "almost in all aspects".
To put it simply, it means being well-matched in terms of social and economic status.
Qiao Xing asked, "Then why did you take a liking to me?"
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Because it suits me."
Qiao Xing exclaimed "Ah," somewhat confused.
She and Qin Ce were not particularly compatible in terms of family background, personality, or even values.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the bizarre relatives of hers when she was with Qin Ce. Any one of them could be enough to make someone complain for days.
This is why, when she first came to the Qin family, even Qin Fei looked down on her.
Although she didn't like Qin Ce, he was still the eldest son of the Qin family. From Qin Fei's perspective, Qin Ce's status was such that even a hundred Qiao Xings wouldn't be worthy of him.
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Sometimes, how to judge whether a person is suitable or not is not only based on external conditions, but more on the future of the two people."
“You didn’t mind that Xiao Ce wasn’t rich, and he didn’t have any complaints about your family situation. He was willing to go to the market with you to buy groceries. In return, you were willing to stand by him and face all his past experiences together. That’s what makes us compatible.”
Grandpa Qin's words suddenly stirred up Qiao Xing's memories of the past.
At that time, when Qiao Xing was with Qin Ce, she didn't think about anything else.
They don't care about feelings, money, or loss.
Therefore, Qiao Xing was at his most relaxed during that time.
Qiao Xing smiled and said to Grandpa Qin, "I have to thank you for letting me meet such a good person as Qin Ce."
Grandpa Qin shook his head and said solemnly, "I should be thanking you for giving Xiao Ce a complete family."
Qiao Xing's nose suddenly felt sore, and she was both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa, what are you doing? Don't say things like that out of the blue."
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
He forgot that Qiao Xing was pregnant and most prone to emotional outbursts; she wouldn't listen to a word he said.
Grandpa Qin returned to the words Qiao Xing had said at the beginning.
He comforted Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, I know that since coming to the capital this time, you've been dealing with all sorts of things inside and outside the city, and haven't had a single day of peace. Don't worry, as long as Xiao Ce pulls through this time, the days ahead will be good."
Qiao Xing naturally believed what Grandpa Qin said.
No matter what happened, she never lowered her expectations for the future.
Grandpa Qin continued, "Don't overthink things. Many things have a cause and effect, and everything is predetermined. Even if you hadn't appeared, it would still have happened; it's just a matter of time."
Qiao Xing nodded. "I understand, Grandpa."
Qiao Xing is a smart person. Even if Grandpa Qin doesn't say it outright, she can understand it.
Grandpa Qin smiled with satisfaction, picked up his chopsticks again, and said to Qiao Xing, "Alright, let's eat."
After dinner, Qiao Xing wanted to stay with Grandpa Qin a little longer, but Grandpa Qin insisted that she go back to rest and sleep.
“You’re the one who needs rest the most right now. Why are you always keeping an old man like me company? Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about my great-grandson. Can you bear to let the child be tossed around by you all day?”
Grandpa Qin's serious tone made Qiao Xing chuckle.
Although she stayed with Grandpa Qin the whole morning, she only walked a few steps at most and did not do any physical work.
If someone who didn't know better heard what he said, they would think that this pregnant woman had done a lot of things in a day.
Grandpa Qin gave the order, and Qiao Xing could only obediently listen to him. "Okay, then I'll go back first. You should rest well too. I'll come to see you again tomorrow."
Grandpa Qin nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Qiao Xing, "Is Xiao Ce settling into his new house?"
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "How did you know Qin Ce bought a new house?"
