Chapter 347: Thoroughly Sad
Xingzhou sighed, saying that Cai Kuan was too concerned about Mr. Cai's feelings, which was why he was wronged everywhere.
"You are a young scientific research talent and the most valued talent in the institute. Your cousin Cai Zhao does not have your talent. He is destined to never catch up with you in his lifetime."
How far can a person who is full of jealousy go?
He has always believed that it is acceptable for young people to use some tricks and schemes to stand out, after all, outstanding performance is also a form of competition.
But if you use inferior means, people will look down on you. Not only will they look down on you, but once your true character is exposed, no one will want to associate with such a person.
If people can be cruel to their relatives, what about their friends?
In short, he looked down on people like Cai Zhao.
Cai Kuan looked into the two people's concerned eyes and was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the ward was opened.
Mr. Cai was standing at the door with a cane. Behind him was a relatively thin young man wearing glasses. His features were somewhat similar to those of Cai Kuan.
"It's great that you all came to see Xiao Kuan."
Elder Cai walked in with a cane, and greeted Dai Qing and Xing Zhou with a smile, then looked at Cai Kuan.
"How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa."
Cai Kuan smiled gently, but when he saw the person standing behind him, the smile faded and he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Dai Qing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xingzhou. Seeing him nod imperceptibly, she immediately understood that Mr. Cai was bringing his grandson to apologize.
Sure enough, seeing that Cai Kuan was unhappy, the old man stopped smiling and poked the floor with his cane.
"What are you still standing there for? If you do something wrong, you have to show some attitude. Are you waiting for someone to bring a chair for you to sit on?"
Hearing Mr. Cai's reprimand, Cai Zhao gave him a sinister look and took a step forward. Before he could open his mouth, Cai Kuan spoke first.
"Grandpa, is my cousin here to apologize to me again?"
Hearing his grandson's question and seeing the faint smile in his eyes, but that smile was mixed with too many emotions that he couldn't understand. The only thing he could feel was the disappointment in his grandson's eyes, which was real and could not be concealed.
Dai Qing shook her head and asked with the word "again", which sounded somewhat ironic.
Cai Zhao was fully prepared, but when he heard Cai Kuan's tone, he couldn't help but be stunned. He looked up in surprise and the two of them looked at each other.
Cai Kuan looked at him, curling his lips slightly.
"Cousin, every time you make a mistake, you ask grandpa to cover it for you, and you just say "I'm wrong, I'm sorry" and treat other people's lives as a joke. Isn't it refreshing?"
Mr. Cai: “…”
When Cai Zhao saw those mocking eyes, his face tightened and he lowered his head quickly to hide the resentment in his eyes. He didn't want to apologize again and again, but unfortunately some people were like cockroaches, and they could never be killed.
"I survived this time. Are you regretful, cousin?" Cai Kuan looked at him with a calm tone.
"...Xiao Kuan, are you feeling unwell?"
Mr. Cai looked at his grandson in surprise. Normally, between brothers, as long as they admitted their mistakes and shook hands to make peace, the matter would be over. But what happened today?
"Grandpa, you still think that he has let this matter go after he admits his mistake, right?"
Facing his grandson's question, Mr. Cai twitched his lips and was unable to speak for a while.
"Xiao Kuan..."
"Today he admits his fault and apologizes, but tomorrow he continues to play tricks and do small things to harm me, and then he apologizes and admits his fault again, and the cycle repeats itself..."
Cai Kuan couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"It seems that my life is really worthless. I have to hand it over to Cai Zhao, otherwise there will be no end."
Seeing the disbelief in his grandfather's eyes, Cai Kuan spread his hands.
"Isn't it always like this?"
Mr. Cai: “…”
Suddenly, the old face turned a little red.
Thinking back to the previous incidents Xiao Kuan had, after careful investigation, he found that each one was related to Cai Zhao.
Whenever he found out that his brothers were responsible, although he was very sad, he always put family harmony first, and asked the two brothers to shake hands and make peace, and asked Cai Zhao to admit his mistake and promise not to do it again, and the matter would be over.
They are cousins, and in the final analysis, they are still a family. If brothers become enemies, when he gets old, Xiao Kuan will be alone in this world. How lonely he will be.
Brothers are connected by broken bones but still have tendons. When they are a few years older, perhaps they will understand everything.
But now, seeing Xiao Kuan's sad and disappointed look, he felt distressed, but family disgrace should not be made public, so it is better to solve the problem behind closed doors.
Dai Qing stood by and looked at the old man's flushed face. She couldn't help shaking her head. It is said that crying children get candy, and it really makes sense.
The second branch of the Cai family complains every day about being at a loss. After a while, won’t the old man also feel that they are at a loss?
If this is really the case, then Cai Kuan would be very pitiful, and the Cai family would probably have no place for him.
While sighing in her heart, Dai Qing couldn't help but look at Cai Zhao's face.
According to physiognomy, his face has a short upper part and a long lower part. People like this have more successes than failures when doing things. Even if there is some development, it will soon disappear like the scorching sun shining on ice and frost.
To put it bluntly, one's heart is strong but his destiny is not, or it can be said that there is not much in destiny.
Just as Mr. Cai was about to say something, Cai Kuan looked at the two people and spoke first.
"Grandpa, I have applied for housing in the hospital and it has been approved. I will move in when I am discharged."
"What? You want to move out of the old house? How can this be possible?"
Mr. Cai looked at his grandson's calm expression in shock. Suddenly, he felt a little panicked and felt like he was going to lose something.
"Grandpa, please don't force yourself. This farce will only end if I leave. Besides, I'm tired and don't want to go through with it anymore."
After saying that, Cai Kuan looked at the old man's trembling mouth, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and felt uncomfortable. He quickly cleared his throat and smiled nonchalantly.
"Grandpa said, I am an eagle. Now, the eagle will spread its wings and fly high."
Listening to Cai Kuan's pretended casual tone, Old Cai held his cane tightly and stared at him with dissatisfaction.
"Why didn't you discuss such a big thing as moving with Grandpa? We're living well at home..."
At this point, Cai Laoyou stopped talking, looking embarrassed.
Because of the discord between the brothers, Xiao Kuan was hospitalized one after another. As a grandfather, he was indeed irresponsible.
But Xiao Kuan must be resentful of his brothers when he moves out of the old house. If the brothers become strangers in the future, the Cai family will have no hope at all.
He and his wife had three sons in their lifetime. The only outstanding one was the eldest son, who was well-known in the scientific research circle. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him and the couple died in the front line of scientific research.
The second and third sons do not have outstanding achievements in scientific research, and are far inferior to the eldest son. Fortunately, they are self-aware and are not on the front line. They are only responsible for logistics, which is quite comfortable.
