Chapter 1055 Taking a Huge Blame
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Although he was angry that his son Qin Liang was disappointing, he was still his own child after all.
From the very beginning, he hoped that he and Qin Ce could get along harmoniously.
Although their relationship is no longer as irreconcilable as before, this is also due to the many things they have been through.
These experiences taught Qin Liang lessons, and he finally understood many principles. But what good did it do? It was too late to say anything now.
"I heard that Qin Ji's case has been handed over to the court for trial, and a verdict will be issued soon, is that right?"
Neither Qin Ce nor Qiao Xing intended to tell Grandpa Qin about this.
Although Qin Ji deserved his punishment, the old man was still distressed to hear about these things.
Although neither Qiao Xing nor Qin Ce said anything, Grandpa Qin still found out.
Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then asked Grandpa Qin, "How did you know about this?"
Grandpa Qin said, "It's hard not to know about this kind of thing, even if you don't want to. It's clearly a family matter, and I know less about it than other people do."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing knew that Grandpa Qin had probably heard this gossip from somewhere.
Since Grandpa Qin had already asked, Qiao Xing told him the truth.
Qin Ji's situation is already a done deal and cannot be changed.
He may not be guilty of a capital offense, but he certainly won't be out for several years.
Grandpa Qin felt terrible whenever he thought about this.
He didn't understand why Qin Ji and Qin Fei, who were both obedient and sensible children when they were young, had changed so much in temperament as they grew up.
Grandpa Qin felt that this was most likely related to Wang Yu.
With a mother like Wang Yu around, how can their character possibly be upright?
Fortunately, Wang Yu had already left the Qin family, so Grandpa Qin didn't say anything more.
When Qin Liang insisted on marrying Wang Yu, he had advised Qin Liang that Wang Yu was not a good person and that she might ruin the entire Qin family, but Qin Liang did not listen.
If Qin Liang had been a little more clear-headed and resolute back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Grandpa Qin didn't regret Qin Liang's departure, nor did he feel sorry for Wang Yu's passing. He was only heartbroken for the two children, Qin Ji and Qin Fei.
Fortunately, the baby in Qiao Xing's belly is healthy and safe.
Having learned from past mistakes, Grandpa Qin's expectations and encouragement for Qin Ce naturally rose.
He said to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, after your child is born, if Qin Ce doesn't take good care of you and your child, you must tell me. As long as I'm still here, I will definitely deal with him! I will never let him become like his father!"
As soon as Qin Ce entered the ward, he heard the old man scolding him fiercely. He wasn't even there, yet he was being blamed for something he didn't do.
"How did I become like my father?"
Qin Ce's sudden outburst startled Grandpa Qin, "You brat! Why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"
Qin Ce said leisurely, "If you didn't speak ill of me, how could I scare you?"
Grandpa Qin said in a strong voice, "When did I say anything bad about you? I'm telling the truth. If you ever cause Xingxing and the baby in her belly even the slightest grievance, I'll be the first to make you pay!"
Qin Ce was quite helpless. In any case, his grandfather had never believed that he would treat Qiao Xing well.
They even thought he would become like Qin Liang.
It's no wonder that Grandpa Qin would think this way; given Qin Liang's example, how could he not be worried?
Therefore, Qin Ce could only assure his grandfather, "Don't worry, if I dare to treat Qiao Xing badly, not to mention you, I myself will not let myself off the hook."
Grandpa Qin was finally satisfied after hearing his assurance.
"Anyway, you should weigh the pros and cons yourself. No matter what happens at home in the future, you must prioritize Xingxing and her children. You must always remember that only men who love their wives will prosper."
Qiao Xing was amused by Grandpa Qin's words, and she couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, where did you hear all these things?"
"Do we need to hear these things from others? These are the most basic principles for maintaining a long-lasting marriage," Grandpa Qin said earnestly.
Qiao Xing looked at Qin Ce with a receptive expression, "Did you hear that? Grandpa is teaching you something. You must remember it."
Qin Ce said, "He has said these words countless times before. I can practically recite them by heart."
Grandpa Qin said, "Remembering all of this won't do you any harm."
Qin Ce nodded and said, "Yes, I've remembered everything. Don't worry."
As Grandpa Qin was speaking, he remembered something else and asked Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, "I heard that Xiao Yi has recently gotten a girlfriend?"
Qin Ce and Qiao Xing exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.
Qin Ce asked his grandfather, "Where did you hear that from?"
“He came to see me at the hospital a couple of days ago. I heard him talking on the phone, laughing happily. His expression clearly showed he was talking to a girl. Tell me, which girl has this kid taken a fancy to?”
Qin Ce never interfered in Qin Yi's affairs, let alone matters concerning his love life.
Qiao Xing probably knew more about this than Qin Ce, so Qin Ce looked directly at Qiao Xing.
Grandpa Qin looked at Qiao Xing and asked, "Xingxing, do you know something? Tell Grandpa so I can gossip a bit."
Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa, when did you become interested in these things?"
"Judging from what you're saying, you must know something. Tell Grandpa quickly."
Qiao Xing said, "I'm not too sure about that either. I've heard Xiao Yi mention her twice before, but I'm not sure if they're boyfriend and girlfriend. However, Xiao Yi's expression is different every time he mentions her, so I'm pretty sure it's true."
As Qiao Xing spoke, she added, "I think the girl's name was Chen Duo."
Upon hearing the name, Master Qin seemed to remember it. "Isn't it that child from the Chen family? I remember Xiao Ce's father tried to set them up before, but it didn't work out, did it?"
Qiao Xing shook her head. "I don't know about that. I only know that Xiao Yi and she seem to have a pretty good relationship. They used to play games together a lot. As for how far things have progressed, I haven't asked. I guess Xiao Yi won't tell me either."
Grandpa Qin seemed quite pleased to hear this. "Then they must be together already. This child has never had many female friends since he was little. I don't know if it's because he doesn't like them or if no one likes his personality. If he really makes friends with a girl, I guess he really has those kinds of thoughts."
Grandpa Qin pondered as he thought, "I've met the Chen family's child once or twice. She's quite pretty and a nice girl. I just don't know if she'll take a liking to Xiao Yi."
