Chapter 348: A Good Smoothsayer
This is the end of his son's life. All his hopes are on his grandson. Fortunately, Xiao Kuan is very hardworking and talented. He is considered a rising star in the scientific research circle.
Xiao Zhao’s talent is okay, but it’s still a little bit inferior to Xiao Kuan.
If the two brothers can work together, the rise of the Cai family is just around the corner.
If Xiao Kuan moves out, the two brothers will become strangers, and it will be hard to say how far they will go in the future.
Thinking of this, Mr. Cai looked at his eldest grandson with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, but could not say anything to ask him to stay.
Cai Zhao stood there, looking at him with an ambiguous expression, his eyes revealing provocation.
"Brother, are you really going to move out?"
"Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
Cai Kuan looked at him and curled his lips.
"My existence has always been a thorn in your heart. I might as well give in. Without me, you and your family will be happy."
Mr. Cai: “…”
"Then you are my cousin. You must keep your word. Don't come crying and ask grandpa to make a decision for you later."
Cai Zhao narrowed his eyes, with a hint of provocation in them.
"Don't worry, you won't need Grandpa to pressure you to apologize to me anymore. If you do it again and again...if you do it again and again, I deserve it. I've wanted to get back at you for a long time."
Cai Kuan suddenly smiled, and in front of his grandfather, he directly stated his position. He did not shy away from Cai Zhao's provocation.
When Mr. Cai saw his two best grandsons fighting each other, his eyes went dark. He looked at Cai Kuan in disbelief, his lips trembling.
"Xiao Kuan...you..."
"Grandpa, you have to let Second Uncle keep an eye on Cai Zhao. It's best to let him spend all his energy on scientific research and stop him from thinking crooked thoughts. Once a person goes astray, there's no way to pull him back."
Cai Kuan tried his best to suppress the sadness in his eyes and explained with a smile,
"Okay, Grandpa, hurry back. The doctor said I need to be observed for a few more days before I can be discharged from the hospital."
Mr. Cai: “…”
He finally realized why he was so panicked. Was he going to lose his most outstanding grandson?
The child lost his parents when he was young and has lived with him ever since. He has never changed over the years. The eldest grandson has a cheerful and carefree personality and never cares about personal gains and losses. This is also what makes him most happy.
But this time she suddenly broke up with him. Could it be that she blamed him too?
But as a grandfather, all he could do was to mediate and make the matter smaller. Was he really going to send his grandson to the police station?
It was his grandson who was disappointed in him. Alas~
"...The child is grown up now, it's good to have his own ideas. I will leave Min Wei to you, and his future stay is up to you."
Mr. Cai looked at the portrait of his eldest son's grandson and felt very guilty. He turned around and left with his crutches.
"If you want to leave, leave completely. It's best not to play hard to get."
Cai Zhao flexed his fingers and grinned at him.
"Do you know what I dislike most about you? It's that pretentiousness. You clearly hate me in your heart, but you pretend not to care in front of Grandpa and don't bother with me. You always make me feel embarrassed. I've had enough of you."
"What a coincidence. I don't like you either. You are not very talented, but you are always stubborn. Even in ten years, you won't be able to catch up with me."
Cai Kuan grinned, looked at his stiff face, and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, which actually revealed a bit of listlessness.
Dai Qing was stunned by this expression and her eyebrows twitched. This is the real Cai Kuan, right?
Being questioned about his professionalism, Cai Zhao's eyes were filled with resentment, his eyebrows were raised in anger, and he pointed at him with his back teeth gnashing.
"We'll see."
Watching the grandfather and grandson leave one after the other, the two invisible men finally moved. They all looked at Cai Kuan with admiration in their eyes. They didn't expect that this kid actually got it. It was really not easy.
"You're really good, your mind changes quickly."
Listening to Xingzhou's teasing, Cai Kuan raised his hands and rubbed his face.
"Actually, I was a little sad this time. They say crying children get candy. My second uncle's family cried in front of Grandpa every day, saying that Grandpa owed Cai Zhao. Grandpa heard it too much and maybe took it seriously, so he kept trying to smooth things over."
"But people always have emotions, and when they accumulate to a certain point, they will explode."
Cai Kuan looked at the two of them with a dim look in his eyes.
"Actually, being a bad person is tiring, and I don't want to make my grandpa so tired. Only if I stay away from them, there will be less conflict."
The second and third uncles had always been thinking about the old courtyard of the Cai family, and they were always worried that grandpa would be partial to him and leave it to him. Now that he has taken the initiative to leave, the second and third uncles should be relieved.
From the beginning to the end, he never cared about those things, he only cared about the people living in it. Since grandpa hopes for family harmony, let the family rest in peace.
Listening to Cai Kuan's tone, Dai Qing didn't know what to say. The more a person lacks something, the more he or she looks forward to it. Unfortunately, he didn't treat her as a family member at all.
People’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be, and the world is in chaos.
But it was Mr. Cai who aided and abetted the evil. His unfair approach led to the current situation. If he had been strangled in the cradle early on, there would probably be nothing wrong.
"Actually, living alone is quite worry-free. I can do whatever I want. That's just who I am." A family like that, with internal friction every day, is not as good as being free and easy alone.
Besides, given Cai Kuan's profession, his home is just a temporary residence.
"That's right. I usually live alone in the house I prepare for myself."
Xing Zhou glanced at Dai Qing and sat down in the chair next to him. Every family has its own problems. Fortunately, he was the only grandson in his grandparents' eyes. The future of the Xing family depended on him and no one could change it.
Anyone who dared to provoke him in the old house would not be seen at the next family gathering.
In this regard, my grandmother is more decisive than my grandfather.
Absolutely fierce and popular.
Therefore, no matter how versatile and good at networking his stepmother was, she had to be a good wife and mother in the old house and didn't dare to cause any trouble.
His grandparents knew that he had his own place to live, and instead of stopping him, they were happy that he had a place to relax.
Of course, at the beginning, my father was also called by my grandmother and scolded. She said that he was not comfortable living in his own home, so he built his own house and was not a qualified father.
After being severely scolded by her grandmother, she did not allow the couple to return to the old house for a whole month, which scared her stepmother a lot.
The Xing family is a wealthy family with many relatives. The fact that the daughter-in-law did not attend the family dinner, the signal released by the old house alone is enough to make people speculate.
But each family has its own style. There are many people and many thoughts. As long as the minds are not united, even the biggest family will eventually decline.
Listening to the two people's consolation, Cai Kuan smiled and said, "In fact, I have wanted to move out for a long time. I have always been worried about my grandfather. I am just being too picky."
Children without parental protection are indeed a bit like grass, and now he fully understands this.
