Chapter 338 Think it over carefully
He opened the document, right-clicked, and moved the cursor to the delete option.
But when he clicked delete, he hesitated.
He stared at the computer screen, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, his expression shifting unpredictably.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He withdrew his hand, took out his phone, and glanced at it. It was his grandfather calling.
Qin Ce sighed, closed his laptop, and answered the old man's call.
"Xiao Ce, has Xingxing been discharged from the hospital?"
Qin Ce hummed in agreement, "I'm out now, at home."
"Is everything alright now?"
"Um."
The old man paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'm relieved. I'll go see her later, and I'll leave tomorrow."
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to leave?"
"What can we do if they don't leave? Are we really going to let them live here?" the old man said angrily.
Old Zheng actually bought the house next door and moved in. The family next door had moved out, and the house had been empty. Old Zheng contacted that person, bought the house, and is now living next door.
They would knock on his door every morning, bring him food, and shower him with concern, which annoyed the old man.
"Whether you go back or not is no longer important."
The old man said, "How can it not be important? That kid has already said he'd take me back and take care of me. Now that he knows the shares are in your hands, even if he doesn't want me to go back, he has to take me back. Otherwise, where will he put his face?"
Qin Ce thought of that person and sneered.
"But Xiao Ce, how long are you planning to keep this a secret? The longer you drag it out, the more damage it will do to Xingxing. Don't say I didn't warn you, think it over carefully."
Qin Ce glanced at the notebook again and remained silent for a long time.
"Even if I tell her now, she might not accept it."
"Hey, you brought this on yourself. You told me not to say it back then, and now you can't find a chance to say it, can you?"
Qin Ce did not refute, but his brows and eyes were filled with irritation.
"Let's talk about it after she recovers."
The old man chuckled, "Whatever you want, I can't control anything anymore. I'll come over tonight, you should go home early."
"Um."
The old man hung up the phone.
Qin Ce picked up his laptop, turned on the computer again, clicked on the file, and selected delete.
He called Han Yan again and said, "Send me a new copy of the materials for Project 731."
"What happened to that document? Didn't you already pass the review?"
"Just send it."
"Okay, just a moment."
In less than two minutes, Han Yan sent the information to Qin Ce, who then took out a data transfer cable and transferred the file to the computer.
I checked and it wasn't signed.
He then closed his laptop and drove to the company.
I just spoke with the old man, and he wasn't lying. He plans to tell me the truth after Qiao Xing has fully recovered.
For now... let's not provoke her.
Because he took the laptop, Qiao Xing had nothing to do at home and could only open his Timothy.
We lost again.
We lost again!!
Qiao Xing felt that she was not suited to playing this game, and she was going to uninstall it. What a trash game, it was interfering with her work and making money.
Just as she was about to uninstall it, the little rabbit sent her a message.
Qiao Xing opened the message and saw that it was a message of good news from the little rabbit.
Yang Han's team has made it to the finals and will be going to Haishi to participate in the finals. She wants to invite Qiao Xing to join them.
Qiao Xing frowned, knowing what Qiao Ying was up to: she wanted to drag her along so they could openly meet Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's attitude was too subtle, and Qiao Xing didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so she refused Qiao Ying's request.
He indicated that he had to go to work and couldn't go.
Qiao Ying was disappointed, but she didn't force the issue. She tried to persuade Qiao Xing, but gave up after seeing her firm attitude.
Qiao Xing put down her phone. Her neck was a little itchy, so she scratched it and could feel the raised marks on her skin.
She quickly ran to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Seeing the scars on my neck makes it look like I've had a head transplant; it looks really bad.
Qiao Xing rummaged through the drawer, took out a scar removal cream, and applied it.
Suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Qiao Xing was startled. She put down the scar removal cream in her hand, ran to the bedroom, grabbed a scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and went out to open the door.
When I opened the door, it was the old man who had arrived.
Qiao Xing's face lit up with joy. She quickly opened the door and said, "Grandpa, what brings you here? Come in quickly."
Seeing that the old man was still carrying things, she offered to take them, but the old man avoided her.
"Come in and sit down, Grandpa can carry it."
The old man, leaning on a cane with one hand and carrying something in the other, slowly walked in.
Qiao Xing followed the old man to the sofa and helped him sit down.
After putting his things down, the old man looked around the room but couldn't find Qin Ce. His face immediately darkened. "Where is he?"
Qiao Xing said, "Oh, he's busy, he might not be back for a while."
The old man snorted coldly, "Busy, busy, busy, all you do is keep busy all day long, leaving you all alone in the house, you brat."
"Grandpa, I'm fine now. I don't need anyone to stay with me every day. It's not like I'm in postpartum confinement..."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment after saying this, and she secretly regretted that she had said this in front of the old man. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
It seems I really have been infected by them.
Sure enough, the old man perked up when he heard this, "He dares to run around like this while I'm in postpartum confinement? I'll beat him to death with this cane!"
"But Xingxing, are you planning to do this?"
Qiao Xing looked somewhat awkward. "No, not yet."
"Oh well, Grandpa won't try to persuade you anymore. The most important thing right now is to get your injury healed." The old man added, "Grandpa came to see you today because there's something else."
"What's wrong?"
"Isn't it because Grandpa is leaving tomorrow? That's why I came to see you today. Don't worry about Grandpa. You and Qin Ce should get along well and not have any conflicts in the future."
Upon hearing this news, Qiao Xing froze on the spot. "So sudden?"
The old man said, "Actually, I should have told you a long time ago, but I was thinking of waiting until you got better to tell you since you were hospitalized."
Qiao Xing grabbed the old man's arm, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears, "Grandpa."
She had been neighbors with the old man for twenty years and saw him almost every day. Now that he was suddenly leaving, Qiao Xing felt as if something was missing from her heart.
Seeing this, the old man quickly comforted her, "Xingxing, don't be sad. Grandpa is just going back to his hometown. It's not like he's never coming back. Look at you, making it sound like a life-or-death separation. It's making Grandpa afraid to go."
Qiao Xing forced a smile, her lips twitching. "I just can't bear to leave Grandpa. How long will Grandpa be gone?"
"I don't know yet. I'll let you know once I get back and confirm."
The fact that she didn't know for the time being caused Qiao Xing's mood to plummet. She bit her lip and grabbed the old man's arm as she spoke.
"Then, how about Qin Ce and I go with you?"
