Chapter 32 If you can get married, I'll eat a whole dumpling!
Cen Yan left the ward, and less than two minutes later, a tall and slender man pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing the two elderly people chatting and laughing, Qi Jingchuan finally felt relieved.
"Grandpa, Grandma, why did you come to Dongming Island without saying a word!"
He only received the news after returning to his unit. A call came from Beijing, saying that the two elderly people had suddenly decided to leave a letter and leave to inspect the upgrade and improvement of the "Dawn No. 1" warship on Dongming Island.
Upon inquiring, Qi Jingchuan learned that his grandmother, Su Xianhua, had been admitted to the hospital. He rushed over immediately with a worried expression, but thankfully found his grandmother lively and healthy.
As soon as Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua saw the man, the latter immediately put the apple on the bedside table. "Honey, I don't want to see this bachelor. Make him leave! If he had come two minutes earlier, none of this would have happened!"
"Did you hear me? I told you to leave! You unlucky brat, you've missed out on a perfectly good wife!" Zhao Gongqin was also angry. He and Su Xianhua were both national academicians.
Their daughter and son-in-law are both highly accomplished: one is a high-ranking official in Beijing, in charge of the nation's armed forces, and the other is a diplomat responsible for international exchanges. Their genes are exceptionally good, so how could they have produced such a worthless scoundrel as Qi Jingchuan?
It's one thing for him not to be able to find a wife, but when his elders finally found him a good one, he just happened to be two minutes late.
Having been pressured to get married for so many years, Qi Jingchuan knew exactly what the two elders were thinking. He pulled up a chair, sat down, and solemnly announced, "I should be getting married in a few days. Having an elder present to officiate will also show how much the Qi family values the bride."
"..." A silence fell over the ward. Su Xianhua chuckled. "Old man, did you hear that? This kid didn't learn anything good on Dongming Island, he learned to lie. He tricked us by saying he's getting married in a few days?"
Zhao Gongqin scoffed: "They're getting married in a few days. If Qi Jingchuan manages to get a wife in his lifetime, I, Zhao Gongqin, will eat a whole lump of rice! No, two whole lumps!"
Qi Jingchuan frowned. "Grandpa, you're not in good health, don't eat anything indiscriminately."
"You really think you can get a wife?" Zhao Gongqin was angered by these words and became even more sarcastic towards Qi Jingchuan. "Fine, then tell us two old folks, what unit does this girl work for, what's her name, whose family is she, and how could she be so blind as to fall for someone as clueless as you!"
Aside from his looks, Qi Jingchuan was utterly useless! At least that's what Zhao Gongqin thought.
Qi Jingchuan opened his mouth, wanting to tell the whole story, but then he remembered Cen Yan's identity...
Although the marriage was arranged by her grandfather when he was alive, the political situation was turbulent, and her family was already on the list of those to be liquidated. If he really married her, it would definitely affect his future.
Even if his maternal grandparents were very open-minded, they would never allow him to marry a capitalist's daughter.
The best approach is to marry her first, and then discuss other matters later.
Qi Jingchuan said calmly, "Grandpa, you know I don't like to joke. Anyway, I've already submitted the marriage application to my superiors. Once the application is approved and we get the marriage certificate, you'll naturally know who she is. Grandma's IV drip will need to continue for a while. I'll come back later to pick you up and take you back to settle in."
After saying that, Qi Jingchuan actually left, leaving the two old people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Su Xianhua pulled Zhao Gongqin aside, "Old woman, is our grandson really getting married? How come we haven't heard a thing? We know nothing about the other party's family, their character, or anything else!"
"I don't know! Anyway, judging from Qi Jingchuan's evasive and hesitant manner, I know that the person he's going to marry is definitely not a good one, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to say it!" Zhao Gongqin was furious. "At least not as good as the girl we met, Yan!"
Su Xianhua declared righteously, "She's definitely not as good as Yan'er. I don't care, I only recognize Yan'er as my granddaughter-in-law!"
"Me too!"
