Chapter 950 One Thing Subdues Another
Qiao Xing pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully to the voices inside.
One is Grandpa Qin, and the other seems to be Qin Liang.
Qiao Xing subconsciously looked at Qin Ce.
Qin Ce stood there expressionless, clearly having already recognized that the person inside was Qin Liang.
Neither Grandpa Qin nor Qin Liang knew that Qin Ce was standing outside the door at that moment.
"He's your son, not a stranger! What good will it do to bow your head? Are they going to eat you alive?"
"dad!"
"Don't call me Dad, I'm not your dad!"
Grandpa Qin was a little agitated and couldn't help but cough twice.
"Take a good look at all the ridiculous things you've done over the past few years. Why did Qin Ce run away abroad? Others may not know, but don't you know yourself?"
Qin Liang's expression grew increasingly grim.
"You were young and naive back then, and you had your own difficulties, but why should the children pay the price for what you did? Do you really think that the two children are where they are today because of the Qin family and because of you?"
If Qin Liang hadn't approached Grandpa Qin today, he might never have said these words in his entire life.
He firmly believed that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, although he also hoped that Qin Liang and his son could reconcile and put aside their past grievances so that the family could live in harmony.
However, he also knew that some things cannot be let go of so easily; they require time.
So apart from occasionally reminding Qin Ce a few times, he never said anything more.
"Qin Yi and Qin Ce are lucky to have a father like you. The fact that the two brothers haven't turned against each other is already a blessing from your past life. Look at the children you've raised. Qin Fei is so old, yet she doesn't know any manners. Qin Ji is reckless every day and has no sense of propriety at all. These are living examples right in front of you, don't you understand?"
After saying a lot in one breath, Grandpa Qin felt like he couldn't breathe properly.
Qin Liang poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Grandpa Qin didn't answer.
Qin Liang had no choice but to put the water glass back.
"Dad, I didn't come to see you today to talk about this."
Grandpa Qin didn't look at him. "I know what you want to say. You made your own mess, so you have to deal with it yourself. I can't help you."
"But Dad, you know Qin Ce only listens to you, and the Qin family business is also your hard work. Do you really want to watch it collapse?"
Grandpa Qin laughed angrily, “You think of this now? When you were disregarding our father-son relationship for those shares, why didn’t you think about the Qin family? Why didn’t you think about the fact that you were targeting your own son?”
Grandpa Qin's words left Qin Liang speechless.
In Grandpa Qin's words, it was all Qin Liang's own fault. Even if the Qin family really went bankrupt one day, it would be Qin Liang's own fault.
But Qin Liang was unwilling to give up. He was convinced that his grandfather was soft-hearted, so he deliberately said something that his grandfather cared about, "Dad, I know you also hope that Qin Ce and I can get along well. I promise you, if I like him and he is willing to do this, I will not hold his past actions against him. He can come back to the Qin family if he wants to, and he can come back if he doesn't want to. I will not say anything to him."
Grandpa Qin's blood pressure, which had just calmed down, seemed to be rising again.
He glared at Qin Liang, exasperated, and said, "You don't care? Do you think those things can just be forgotten by saying you don't care? Others may not know Xiao Ce's temper, but don't you, as his father, know it? Do you really think that you can just say a few words and he'll let bygones be bygones?"
"Furthermore, you now see yourself as a father, and Qin Ce as your son, so no matter what mistakes you've made, he, as your son, shouldn't criticize you. But think about it carefully: if you had considered him even a little bit back then, would things have turned out like this between you two?"
Qin Liang had already gone through a great deal of mental struggle to come to the hospital to see Grandpa Qin today.
After all, this kind of thing is generally embarrassing.
He originally thought that the old man was soft-hearted and might actually be able to persuade Qin Ce, so he wouldn't have to ask for help.
To his surprise, the old man not only didn't speak up for him, but also scolded him.
Qin Liang was also a man of temper. He stood up with a livid face and said to his grandfather, "Dad, I've made myself very clear. If you still side with Xiao Ce after all this, then I have nothing more to say. Just pretend I was never here today. I don't believe that the Qin family can really not fall apart without Qin Ce!"
After saying this, Qin Liang angrily left the ward.
Qiao Xing and Qin Ce didn't emerge from the corner of the corridor until after he entered the elevator.
"Your dad seems really angry."
Qiao Xing really admired Grandpa Qin.
Grandpa Qin usually seems like such a gentle and kind person, but he can be quite shrewd when he speaks.
Even someone as short-tempered as Qin Liang was outmaneuvered by Grandpa Qin.
This really proves the saying, "One thing subdues another."
"Hmm." Qin Ce didn't seem to care. He had already heard everything he needed to hear. He said to Qiao Xing, "Let's go in."
When the two went in, Grandpa Qin was still angry and looked very unhappy.
"grandfather."
Grandpa Qin turned his head, and his expression immediately softened when he saw the two of them. "You've come."
Qiao Xing and Qin Ce exchanged a glance without saying a word, and both of them tacitly refrained from asking about what had just happened.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling on your first day of treatment? Have you experienced any discomfort?"
When Grandpa Qin spoke to Qiao Xing, he seemed to have returned to his former kind and optimistic self.
"I'm fine. You know what, spending money to treat illnesses in the hospital really makes a difference. I can clearly feel that my health is much better."
Qiao Xing asked him suspiciously, "Really? You're not lying to us just to put my and Qin Ce's minds at ease, are you?"
"You silly child, why would I lie to you about this? If it were truly useless, do you think I would want to stay in the hospital?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's good that it's useful. This way, Qin Ce and I can rest assured."
Grandpa Qin suddenly looked at Qin Ce, as if he had something to say to him.
Qiao Xing guessed that he probably wanted to talk to Qin Ce about what he had just said to Qin Liang.
Despite his tough words, he still softened at heart.
Qin Ce had already guessed what his grandfather wanted to say to him, but he did not intend to go along with his grandfather's wishes.
He casually picked up the water glass on the table and said, "There's no hot water left, I'll go get some."
Grandpa Qin was about to say that there was hot water in the ward and there was no need to go outside to get it when Qin Ce had already left without looking back.
He shook his head silently.
This child.
Although Qin Ce did it on purpose, he still took his water cup, went to the water dispenser in the corridor, and filled a cup with hot water.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he bumped into Xiaoxiao, who was also there to get hot water.
