Realizing her own loss of composure, Mrs. Tang irritably extinguished her cigarette. "Look at you, you've always loved annoying me since you were little, chirping in my ear like a little bird all day long."
Tang Qiqi: "..."
"Do you know how annoying you were back then?" Mrs. Tang lit another cigarette. As she exhaled, her eyes became hollow, as if she was reminiscing. "You were so naive and silly in front of me."
"Is it bad to keep laughing like that?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Tang Qiqi stood there like a wooden stick. For the first time, she saw that her grandmother was no longer playful.
This was the first time I spoke to her so seriously.
The tone was plain, but it seemed to hide the old man's greatest wish in life.
Tang Qiqi clenched his hands that hung by his side into fists and took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his emotions.
After a long while, he finally sat down next to Old Madam Tang and raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay, but the premise is that you are always here."
Even though the person was sitting in front of him, Tang Qiqi still felt anxious and worried.
I was afraid that my closest grandma would leave without a care in the world.
What's more, I'm afraid that Qi Yan was not brought here to drink, but to... make arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
"What are you doing? Are you cursing me to death?" Old Madam Tang picked up the crutch next to her and pretended to hit someone.
The playful words gradually eased the tense atmosphere.
"Grandma, love and family are indispensable, and you are also my spiritual support.
So promise me that you will always be with me, okay?"
"You want me to live like a thousand-year-old goblin?"
Tang Qiqi: "..."
It's rare to be sentimental, but it's obviously not the right thing for an old naughty boy.
Sensationalism? Not there.
Tang Qiqi felt that if he continued chatting, the old man would probably chase him out with his cane.
Choose to retreat before being driven away.
The door closed and silence fell again.
The cigarette butts on the table dripped down and formed small flowers, and the smoke in the room became thicker.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man's voice could be heard faintly from inside:
"No one can live to be a hundred years old. Living a good life is already a luxury."
It seemed as if he was telling someone outside the door, but also as if he was muttering to himself.
…
After returning to the room, Tang Qiqi took out his mobile phone and thought for a long time before calling Jiao Gan.
"Miss?" The other party seemed a little surprised.
"Is there something wrong with Tang Wei's company?" Tang Qiqi asked directly without any excessive polite words.
Based on Tang Qiqi's understanding of his master who has been training with him in Taekwondo for so many years, if there is really something, he will definitely choose to conceal it.
But unexpectedly, this time, after hearing her question, he responded to her without hesitation: "Yes."
Tang Qiqi thought of the Tang Wei she saw at that moment, and her breathing became a little difficult. "What is the specific reason? What is the current situation?"
"For details, you should ask Mr. Tang in person. I think he will definitely tell you about such a big thing."
After leaving these words, the other party hung up without giving Tang Qiqi a chance to ask more questions.
Tang Qiqi stared at the phone number that appeared on the screen unconsciously, but he didn't dial it.
If something really happened, given their relationship, her call would not be to ask questions, but to mock them.
Such a high-ranking person would definitely not show his failure in front of her.
Tang Qiqi thought for a while, and finally turned off the phone screen.
But soon, without hesitation, he opened his phone and dialed another familiar number.
Unexpectedly, the call didn't go through.
Where did Qi Yan go?
This is not where he lives, but when he returned here he felt busier than before, as if there were endless things to deal with.
Tang Qiqi was almost breathless from all the worries. She was thinking about asking about it when she came back in the evening, when the phone that had been thrown aside rang.
The caller ID above shows Tang Wei.
