Chapter 939: He's quite open-minded.
Sheng Yao walked over slowly. She couldn't hide it any longer, so she could only honestly say, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I won't do it again..."
Old Master Sheng was so angry he almost jumped up. "You want a next time?"
Mr. and Mrs. Sheng quickly stopped him, fearing that he would really hit Sheng Yao if he got angry.
Although the possibility of them actually taking action is practically zero.
"What else are you hiding from us?" Old Master Sheng asked angrily.
Feeling guilty, Sheng Yao didn't dare to meet Old Master Sheng's gaze, and unwilling to admit it, she said, "No..."
She roared inwardly.
Good heavens, how does Grandpa Sheng know everything!
Grandpa Sheng stared at Sheng Yao without moving. "I'll give you one more chance. If you continue to hide it, don't blame me for dealing with you!"
Sheng Yao knew that Grandpa Sheng was just trying to scare her. From childhood to adulthood, Grandpa Sheng had never said a harsh word to her.
But given the current situation, it's clear that Old Master Sheng already knows, and even if Sheng Yao doesn't say anything, she can't hide it anymore.
She mumbled, "I...I called Uncle Zhang..."
"What?"
Sheng's mother and father were completely unaware of this matter.
They only knew that Sheng Yao had secretly gone out to see Shen Boyan, but they never expected that she would contact Professor Zhang without their knowledge.
Grandpa Sheng snorted and said to the couple, "Look what your precious daughter has done. She's so young, and she's already starting to act like an adult!"
Mr. Sheng's expression also turned serious. "Yaoyao, you're being ridiculous."
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I'm an adult now. Can you please stop treating me like a child?" Sheng Yao retorted softly. "Besides, I wasn't being unreasonable. I was just helping out."
Mother Sheng patted her arm, "Say less."
Grandpa Sheng pounded his cane on the floor. “You’re helping? Who are you helping? It’s that brat! You went to Chongqing for him back then, and now that you’re finally back, you’re causing all this trouble. How long are you going to go crazy for that kid?”
Sheng Yao knew that Old Master Sheng was only lip service when he scolded her.
That's not what he really thought at all.
So even though Sheng Yao was scolded, she wasn't afraid of Old Master Sheng at all.
“Grandpa, such a big thing happened to the Shen family, Shen Boyan is so pitiful. I just wanted to help him, but you wouldn’t agree if I told you. So I had no choice but to contact him secretly by myself…”
Sheng Yao coaxed Grandpa Sheng, "Grandpa, please don't be angry, okay? You've always taught me that whether it's doing things or being a person, you should have a kind heart. I'm doing a good deed now, you should be happy."
Grandpa Sheng glared at her. "You still think you're right? You remember what I taught you, but why don't you listen when I tell you to stay away from that kid?"
"I'm not being unreasonable, I just don't want you to have such a strong prejudice against Shen Boyan. After all, he's someone I like..."
Mr. Sheng frowned and said, "Yaoyao, you're a girl, don't keep saying things like that, you'll be laughed at."
"It's just a joke. There's nothing wrong with liking someone. Anyway, no matter what, I'm determined to be with Shen Boyan."
"You!" Old Master Sheng was so angry his face turned green. "What kind of bewitching potion did this kid give you?"
Sheng Yao thought to herself, "If only he would really give me soup, then I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to pursue him."
"Oh, Grandpa, since you all want me to get married anyway, it doesn't matter who I marry. I'd rather find someone I like than be with someone I don't like."
Whenever Sheng Yao speaks like this, Old Master Sheng has absolutely no way to deal with her.
His expression softened, but his tone was still harsh. "Alright, alright, it's not even close to being settled yet. Stop talking about marriage all the time. Even if I were to marry you, I'd have to give my approval first!"
Sheng Yao said some nice things to coax him, "Yes, yes, Grandpa is the best to me. I know Grandpa just can't bear to part with me and doesn't want me to get married, right?"
"Go away, you heartless little thing, who wouldn't want to part with you?"
Grandpa Sheng gently tapped Sheng Yao on the head. "Let me tell you, this is a one-time thing. If I find out again that you've done something like this for that kid, I won't scold you, I'll find someone to teach that kid a lesson!"
"No! Grandpa, he's already had it tough enough, don't bully him."
"You're still protecting her?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Sheng Yao quickly slipped away, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I'm sleepy, I'm going upstairs to sleep now, goodnight!"
Sheng Yao ran upstairs without looking back.
Grandpa Sheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, "The children have grown up, and we can't keep them here."
Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng exchanged a glance. Mr. Sheng comforted Mr. Sheng, "I know you love her, but she will have to get married sooner or later. Although Shen Boyan is aloof, he is a decent person. He is better than those rich kids with bad character."
Mother Sheng also said, "Yes, Dad, we know the Shen family, after all. Judging from Yao Yao's behavior, she probably won't give up on Shen Boyan. Just let her be."
Grandpa Sheng snorted, "You parents are quite open-minded."
Mr. Sheng laughed and said, "What can you do if you can't see things clearly? Do you want to see her crying and wailing all day long? Doesn't it break your heart?"
Actually, it wasn't that Grandpa Sheng couldn't stand Shen Boyan; it was the thought of his precious granddaughter, whom he cherished so much, becoming someone else's daughter one day, that made him incredibly sad.
But what Sheng's father said was right; girls will get married sooner or later, and Sheng Yao was determined to be with Shen Boyan.
She was willing to chase after Shen Boyan all the way to Chongqing, so if he really disagreed, who knows what other crazy things she might do.
Grandpa Sheng sighed deeply, but ultimately said nothing, and went upstairs with his cane.
Looking at his aged back, Mrs. Sheng felt a pang of heartache. "Dad really can't bear to part with Yao Yao. Even when he was so angry, he couldn't bring himself to say a harsh word to her. But Yao Yao likes Shen Boyan so much, and no matter what he says, she won't listen."
Mr. Sheng also sighed, "Yes, but there's nothing we can do even if we can't bear to part with her. Yao Yao is all grown up now and has her own ideas. As long as Shen Boyan doesn't bully her, we'll let her be. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."
...
Grandpa Qin felt restless after only one day in the hospital.
The two caregivers who looked after him were a bit older, probably in their thirties. They didn't talk much and were always busy, moving around.
Grandpa Qin would occasionally ask her a few questions, and she would answer them, then continue working on her tasks in silence.
The other one was younger, about the same age as Qiao Xing, and had a good personality; he would always chat with Grandpa Qin.
