Chapter 904 Things Are Different Now
Qin Ce said, "Since you already know, why did you still come to the capital with us?"
"What do you think?" Grandpa Qin asked, as if Qin Ce already knew the answer.
Qin Ce knew from the beginning that he couldn't hide it from his grandfather, or rather, his grandfather simply wouldn't believe Qin Ce's so-called excuse.
Qin Ce originally thought that if his grandfather didn't believe him, he would tell him the truth and do more persuasion.
However, Qin Ce did not expect that his grandfather would cooperate with him to go to the capital even though he knew that Qin Ce was lying to him.
Grandpa Qin sighed and said, "I know you are worried about my health. Although I don't want to go to the hospital for all those unnecessary tests, I also don't want you and Xingxing to keep worrying about me."
"You're overthinking it. We've never thought your situation was a problem."
"Since we're already here, we'll just do as you say."
Grandpa Qin thought of something else and said to Qin Ce, "I have something else to tell you."
"What?"
"What is your real purpose in returning to the Qin family home this time?"
Qin Ce paused noticeably. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Don't worry about it, just tell the truth."
Just as Qin Ce was about to speak, Grandpa Qin said seriously, "You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I will never go to the hospital no matter what."
In Qin Fei's room, Qin Fei was venting her anger by holding a cushion when Wang Yu pushed the door open and came in. Qin Fei glanced at him and said irritably, "Why aren't you taking care of that Qiao Xing? What are you doing in my room?"
Wang Yu felt utterly exhausted looking at her son and daughter.
I wonder when they will truly mature.
"Xiaofei, I'm not trying to be mean, but you really should try to control your temper."
"But I just can't stand that Qiao Xing. Every time he comes to the Qin family, he acts all high and mighty. If Qin Ce and my dad don't get along, why do they even come to the Qin family? Do they think our Qin family is some kind of marketplace?"
"Alright, that's enough." Wang Yu scolded her, displeased.
“Even if you don’t like her, at least don’t show it openly. If you disrespect your elders in front of your father, he will only think you are immature. Do you understand?”
"She's not my elder!" Qin Fei said angrily.
"Xiaofei, don't you understand? Whether you like her or not, she's a member of the Qin family, and that's an unchangeable fact. The more you target her, the less your father will like you. Do you want her to affect your position in the Qin family?"
Qin Fei was completely confused. "Mom, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Wang Yu sighed and said, "Your brother has already angered your father. If you make him unhappy too, do you think we still have a reason to exist in this family?"
"you mean……"
“Qiao Xing and Qin Ce have both come back this time, and they even brought your grandfather over. It’s not as simple as it seems on the surface. I just hope that you and your brother can give me some peace of mind and not cause any more trouble. If he really accepts Qiao Xing and Qin Ce, then everything in the Qin family will belong to Qiao Xing’s child, and you and your brother will have nothing.”
Qin Fei was a little incredulous. "Impossible, right? My dad has never liked Qiao Xing, how could he accept her so easily?"
“That was before, things are different now,” Wang Yu said. “In any case, while Qiao Xing is still at home, you’d better behave yourself, understand?”
Qin Fei couldn't wait for Qiao Xing to leave the Qiao family. If what Wang Yu said was true, then Qin Liang might really side with Qiao Xing and the others.
If one day she were to be disliked by Qin Liang because of Qiao Xing, she would truly go crazy.
Qin Fei finally agreed reluctantly, "I understand..."
Qiao Xing felt a little bored after returning to her room. The window of her room faced the garden behind the villa. Standing in front of the window, she could see Grandpa Qin and Qin Ce walking on the path.
The two of them were talking about something. Grandpa Qin walked in front, and Qin Ce walked behind, listening attentively to what Grandpa Qin was saying, nodding from time to time, just like a little follower.
Qin Ce suddenly raised his head and glanced in Qiao Xing's direction.
Qiao Xing was surprised that Qin Ce had noticed her watching them, and immediately felt like she had been caught red-handed.
She and Qin Ce gazed at each other from a distance. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, they knew what each other was thinking.
"So you plan to..."
Grandpa Qin was talking when he turned his head and saw Qin Ce standing behind him, staring motionlessly into the distance.
Grandpa Qin was amazed. He thought to himself, "Wow, these two can still be so romantic even though they're so far apart."
Grandpa Qin coughed lightly, trying to get Qin Ce's attention back. "I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Qin Ce calmly withdrew his gaze. "Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Xingxing, what are you doing?" Qiao Xing's room door was open, and Wang Yu stood at the door and knocked.
Qiao Xing turned around, saw Wang Yu, and smiled faintly, "Aunt Wang."
Wang Yu walked over and pulled Qiao Xing to sit on the sofa. "I was worried you hadn't eaten well, so I came over to ask if you wanted anything else to eat. I'll have the staff prepare it."
"No need to trouble yourself, I'm not hungry."
Wang Yu said guiltily, "Xiao Fei is ignorant. I already told her off. Please don't take what she said to heart. I apologize to you on Xiao Fei's behalf."
Qiao Xing quickly said, "No need, no need, Aunt Wang, you don't need to apologize. I know that's just Xiao Fei's personality. I don't blame her."
“I know my own daughter’s temperament very well. She was spoiled growing up and is very willful in many ways. I hope she can be as sensible as you someday.”
Qiao Xing smiled but didn't say anything.
She didn't have the heart to tell Wang Yu that Qin Fei wasn't just willful, she also had low emotional intelligence.
Only the Qin family could accept her personality; if she were in the general public, she would have been beaten countless times.
Seeing that Qiao Xing was not unhappy, Wang Yu felt relieved.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that Xiao Ce will be staying in Beijing for a long time this time. Since you're about to give birth, why don't you stay here and not leave? After the baby is born, Xiao Ce's dad and I can help you take care of the baby."
Qiao Xing hesitated and said, "You'll have to ask Qin Ce about that. We came here to have Grandpa's health checked, and we're not sure how long we'll be staying."
"I see. But didn't Xiao Ce's father say that Xiao Ce came to Beijing this time because of the project?"
Qiao Xing paused for a moment. Did Qin Ce not intend to tell the Qin family about Grandpa Qin's affairs?
But Qin Ce didn't tell her this when he came from Chongqing.
Wang Yu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly shook his head with a laugh. "This father and son, one refuses to tell the truth, and the other believes whatever people say. They're both adults, yet they're so childish."
